Stanton With the presidential election out of the way we can breathe more easily. It's been a tough political battle. It's been dirty in places. But the campuipw was successful in bringing out a record number of voters. In this country we live by majority rule. When we are able to secure an expression from a large percentage of voters we obtain a majority opinion. Our form of gov ernment requires that we abide by the rule of the majority. In some of our neighboring countries the majority opin ion doesn't mean much. The defeated candidate, if he can muster enough military strength, takes over the govern ment by force of arms. An election, all too often, is a farce. The expression of opinion from the people many times isn't acceptable to the one who has the power to im pose his will unon the public. Here in America, however, tles with ballots rather than bullets, hven though our in. dividual uhilosophies and opinions may go down to defeat we shake off disappointments, best we can to cooperate with the victorious side. Disagreement Essential Not that an election decision means the end of disagree ment. It shouldn't! We must continue to have varying schools of thought concerning ing our problems. But we should give the utmost cooper ation to our elected authorities, so long as we feel that they are moving in the direction of public welfare. Winners are to be congratulated and are to be given our assurance of support within osophies and opinions. There is no place in this country for any individual or groups of individuals who would upset majority opinion by force of arms. We need two strong parties parties that will through their competition force one another to put their best foot forward. At the same time we need unity on those things that will make and keep us strong and will promote the public welfare at home. A QUESTION OF PRESTIGE This country is facing the question of prestige. We have good reason to suspect, after all the hullaballo about our being a second-rate power, that we'll be forced Into some corners and will be required to prove whether we are strong or weak.- ' - We find that a good many of our own people are afraid. They speak for appeasement. They are frightened that others are strong. Yet if we haven't prestige, why is it that other coun tries are so afraid of us? Why insist oh our disarmament, but they can remain strong while1 we become weakT Why should we give in to bullies? Why should we appease them? If we aren't stronger than they, why should they be seeking appeasement? It will be a surprise to me if we don't experience one crisis after another until all our alleged weaknesses have been tested by our enemies. Now is no time, I feel, that we should admit weakness, or even feel that we are unable to maintain our standing as a first-rate power. . 1 Our loss of prestige, I believe, is largely' within the confines of our own country. I doubt that we have dropped much prestige outside the United Stales, except that we have caused questions and doubts in the minds of other people. Our enemies, in turn, will strive to exploit weak nesses bruited about during the political campaign. We will be forced to prove our strength. We'll need some backbone, rather than fear. Hal Boyle What This Country Needs Is Play-As-You-Co Party NEW YORK (AP) - What this country needs is a new play-as-yougo political party that could make fresh promises to meet ev eryone's real needs. The election of 1960 proved that. The most common remark marie by the average voter after casting his ballot Tuesday was this: "What difference does it really make to me who wins? I'll alill nave to work for a living." mis aumiae reuccls deep un derlying dissatisfaction in the nvviui uiv. nit-; nit- uiiiifljpy wun both the Democratic and Repub lican parties, both of which are a bit out of touch with the people's real desires. A third parly perhaps to be called the. True Welfare of Better World party might aweep Iho na tion in 1964. Here arc a few suggested planks in such a parly's national plat form: HOUSING Two barbecue pits Would be provided for every homo, one in the front yard, one in the back yurd. No wife would have to slay home every nighl unless she wanted to. If her hus band was loo tired to take her out, i government-tested mule es cort would be at her service one evening a week. WELFARE A free guaranteed parking space would he available without charge to every citizen and located within one-minute walking time of his job. HEALTH Federal authorities would expend half a billion dol lars annually for the discovery of an all-purpose wonder drug that would cure male baldness, prevent women from wrinkling, prevent the common hangover, and enable anyone to eat as much of anything as he wanted and still keep lu in from gaining an ounce. JOBS No man or woman would be denied the right of working aft er 65 or forced to work liefore he was 65, Pensions would begin af birth. WAGES A salary that lasted from payday to pavday would be the government goal for all-in- Ore.

CONDITIONS-Every office and factory would he patterned after modern progressive schools. 1 lie hired hands would do their chores in the morning, eat a free govern ment lunch, lake a long nap, then spend the aflernoon finger paint ing, playing hop scotch or square dancing.

YOUTH All potential teen agers would be removed to gov ernment centers at the age of 12, educated there and returned to their parents only after they had Inst all interest in rock 'n' roll music. TAXES - All taxes would be paid by Kovcrnment cmnovos, foreign tourists, and heads of slale who came here to make speeches at me united Nations. A political party with a pro gram like mat surely would win hands down in 1964.

Nixon, one of the state's GOP Big 4, by Democrat John F. Ken nedy. How each of the Big 4 rose to national prominence and what happened to each is told here by The Associated Press' longtime California political writer. By MORRIE LANDSBERG SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-A Re publican era has ended in Cali fornia. Once there was i GOP Big 4: Earl Warren, William F. Know land, Goodwin J. Knight and Richard M. Nixon. Each became a national figure. James Marlow Campaign Promises Make Defense Essential Part Of Foreign Policy Editor's Note International problems received wide attention in the presidential campaign. As the new president, John F. Ken nedy must deal with these prob lems. What are his ideas? What is he likely to do? AP News An alyst James Marlow discusses these matters in this second of three special articles on what lies ahead. WASHINGTON (AP) - "I don't know what the '60s will bring ex cept I think they will bring hard times in the international spnere. That was Sen. John F. Kennedy talking during the ' presidential campaign, now mat ne s presi dent-elect, how will he cope with the international future? He put it this way: "In my judgment we should follow the advice of lheodure Roosevelt; be strong,, maintain a strong posi tion, but also speak softly." As a result of this thinking his campaign promises make big de fense an essential part of his foreign policy. Here are just a few of the tasks lying ahead for him: Keeping peace in the ' Middle East: trying to keep communism out of Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America; strengthening this country's alliances; stiff-arming the Russians on Berlin; and, while making another stab at dis armament, building a terrible ar senal of American weapons. His most immediately spectacu lar problem for some time is like ly to be soviet Premier Khru shchev, who insulted President Eisenhower and said he'd try for a summit meeting with his suc cessor. Kennedy has been a little fotrav on the subject of meeting Khrush chev. At one point in the cam paign he said that before any summit with the Russian this country must build its strength, At another time the only pre liminary he laid down before meeting Khrushchev was a meeting of the foreign ministers to determine whether anything might come of a Kennedy.Khru- schev meeting. Kennedy has been very definite about 'his intention of stepping ud American defenses with plans that range from programs on missiles to shaking up and streamlining the slow-moving Pentagon. And. while this hurrv-uo defense building was taking place, Ken nedy would be planning for dis armament just in case mere was agreement with the Russian on it. Here are some of the other things he said he thought about foreign affairs: West Berlin The Communists want to take it over. This country is commuted io Keeping u tree. Kennedy said this country would live up to its commitment. The Cartoonist Says: ' "Gentlemen. Speaking for the Nations . . ." Each tried for higher office. or dreamed of Earl Warren how to keep ever-increasing showed his party friends with the Democratic ma- jority of voters. Democrats helped him win three terms as governor. Republicans tapped him for the vice presidential nomination in 1948; but they liked Dwight D. Eisenhower better for president in 1951. Warren became Chief Justice of the United States in October 1953. Knowland, a state assemblyman at 25, was a young Army major in Europe when Warren, an old Middle East He made it clear this country should act "promptly and decisively" against any Mid dle East nation which attacks its neighbors. He said the president should try to get Jews and Arabs into con ference to solve their problems and promised to back up their ef forts with economic and techni cal help. Africa Here he spoke of a "bold and imaginative new pro gram for the development of Af rica." He suggested that this country, along wiUi other nations able to pay the bill, should pro vide education, food and develop ment capital for Africa by setting up an international lund. Kennedy would put reliance on the United Nations in trying to help the Africans. Latin America During the campaign Kennedy emphasized the need for a "new attitude and a new approach" to Latin Amer ica where Vice President Richard M. Nixon wax stoned and there is considerable sympathy for Fidel Castro's anti-United States revolu tion in Cuba. Cuba Kennedy was a little vague Sn how he'd handle Castro, particularly after pulling a boner at one time in the campaign by suggesting anti-Castro people in side Cuba should be encouraged to act -against him. This would be internal interven tion by the United States and therefore a violation of a treaty this country has with Latin Amer ican nations pledging all signers not to barge into a neighbor's in ternal affairs. But Kennedy suggested: This country must immediately begin a major broadcast program for Cuba; Castro must be told he can not deny this country compensa tion for the American property he seized; the United States must let Khrushchev, a Castro support er, know it will permit no expan sion of his foothold in this hem isphere. The United States, Kennedy said, should seek collective action against "communism in the Carib bean" by working with this coun try's European allies and the Or ganization of American States. And Kennedy wants economic sanctions against Castro in creased. Foreign Aid Kennedy would re vise this country'! foreign aid pro gram. He proposed a "new joint effort by all the wealthier nations to establish funds of long-term credit for India and each of the under developed nations." All (his is a big order for a new president to impose on himself. While he was making all these proposals he was also promising a multitude of new programs for America at home. , friend of the family, named him to succeed the late Hiram John son in the U.S. Senate on Aug. 14, 1845. Knowland, then 37, rose high in (he U.S. Senate during his 14 years there majority leader, then minority leader, and a leader of the Republican conservative wing. Perhaps with an eye on the 1960 presidential race, he gave it all up in 1958 to run for governor. Democratic Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown defeated him by more than one million votes. Knight, as lieutenant governor, finally stepped into the office he so long wanted when Warren re signed . to sit on the Supreme Court. In 1954, Knight and Knowland teamed to defeat a move by Nixon supporters to seize control of the state GOP, Knight clashed with Nixon in advance of the 1956 Republican Convention. In 1958, he announced his candidacy for re-election, and bumped head-on into Knowland's gubernatorial ambitions. Knight withdrew and tried in stead for the U.S. Senate. He lost to Democratic Rep. Clair Engle. Nixon soared out of nowhere to a spectacular political career. He was elected to Congress In 1946 from his Whittier home dis trict: re-elected in 1948; elected to the Senate in 1950. Nixon went back to Chicago In 1952 as a Warren-pledged mem ber of the California Republican delegation and left as his party's nominee for vice president. He was 39 then. On the same plat form in Chicago last Julv he accepted the GOP nomination for resident. On Tuesday, the American voters chose John F. Kennedy and Nixon went down to his first election defeat. Federated Co-ops Exempt From Tax SALEM (AP) The Oregon Su preme Court held today that fed erated cooperatives do not have (o pay (he state's corporation ex cise tax. Federated cooperaHves, of which Oregon has about 25, are formed by other cooperatives. The Tax Commission sought to collect i tax on materials sold by the fed erated cooperatives to their mem ber cooperatives. . . After the Tax Commission tried to collect the tax from Pacific Supply Cooperative for the years 1954 through 1957, that cooperative sued the commission. The Supreme Court, upholding Circuit Judge Alfred T. Sulmonet ti of Portland, ruled' (hat the co operative does not have to pay. The decision, by Justice A. T. Goodwin, gives federated cooper atives the same tax exemption (hat is given (o other cooperatives. The amount which the commis sion sought to collect from Pacific Supply Cooperative was small onlv $62 a year. But the Tax Commission said that it and the other federated cooperatives do a business of $31 million a year in Oregon, all through sales to their member co ops. The high court held that the legislature intended that the fed erated co-ops be treated the same as any other co op. French Colonies Meet BRAZZAVILLE, RcpubJe of Congo (AP) Leaders of former French colonies in Equatorial Africa have started- meetinghere tn discuss future relations and joint cooperation. Abbe Fulbert Youlou. president of the Republic of Congo, is host to the meeting. Neutral Russians Aided Cuba Liberation HAVANA (AP) Three Russians helped the Cubans liberate their island from Spain during the war 62 years ago, the Castro-con trolled newspaper El Mundo said nere. The paper gave front page at tention to a Cuban news aEencv dispatch from Moscow that bases tne claim on iniormauon in the national archives there. The archives disclose, said (he news agency, that a Russian ship sailed trom Leningrad then called St. Petersburg to Cuba in 1896. Three Russians aboard fought six months with the insur gent forces of Gens. Antonio Ma ceo and Guillermo Moncada, but were captured and sentenced lo death. They were freed, though the intervention of (he Russian consul in. Havana, the - agency said. Propagandists for Fidel Castro have been trying to rewrite Cu ban history lately to show that (he United States, rather than helping to free Cuba, entered a war al ready - won from Spain to gain economic peneiraiion. . Mansfield Urges Post For Nixon i WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., says he hopes President - elect John F. Kennedy will make use of "the great abilities which Mr. Nixon possesses" in the next adminis tration. Mansfield commended Vice President Richard M. Nixon "for his graciousness in defeat for the presidency and his unequivocal pledge to. support the president elect" "I would express (he hope tha( (he great abilities which Mr. Nix on possesses might be used as the occasion demands by President elect Kennedy," he told a re porter. In reply to a question, Mansfield said he had in mind the fields of foreign policy and defense, in which Nixon "has demonstrated a degree of knowledge and under standing which the United States cannot allow to go to waste." Mansfield is generally regarded as likely to succeed to the post of Senate Democratic leader when Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas relinquishes it and resigns from the Senate and becomes vice president. Mansfield, now assistant leader, declined to discuss that pos sibility. ; - News Strike Brings Tourism Boycott SALEM (AP)-Gov. Mark Hat field, in a statement on the first anniversary of the Portland news paper strike, said here he has met 14 times with representatives of one side or the other in at tempts to settle it. The Oregonian and Journal are still picketed, wilh no signs of settlement. "One of the great disappoint ments of the strike," Hatfield said, "has been a campaign from sympathizers in other states indi cating they would not vacation, hunt or fish in Oregon because of the strike." Hatfield said he has received hundreds of such letters. He an swers them, he added, by saying they shouldn't boycott tourism be cause of a single strike situation. - Hatfield added that he has feared an outbreak of violence, but that the stale has maintained a plan to help the city of Port land should addilional police be needed.
