NO CAUSE FOR GLOATING
By Charles V. Stanton
Political observers, I note, are almost unanimous in the
opinion that Kennedy, as President, will have a hard time
with the Congress. Republicans

Republicans, in my opinion, have no reason to gloat
Had Nixon been chosen! he would have had an equally hard
time with a congressional program.
During the Roosevelt administration the Congress was
a lowly part of our government. We had a near dictator
ship. We were governed by
lions and authorities. Congress was dangerously near the
rubber stamp classification.
Then Congress began to
who, in fact, had to deal with a Republican majority for a
time. But the Democrats regained control and Eisenhower
has had more than six years of a Congress that hus played
football with many of his proposals.
It was rather startling during the campaign, to read
the criticism poured on Ike because of spending when the
Congress, with a big Democratic majority, has upped his
budget proposals, put more
gram than he had proposed, demanded public housing, mon
ey for public power projects, etc. To have the President
get the criticism rather than
humorous, had it not been
Coalition Impending
Kennedy is expected to

That, in turn, gives him an- "out."
He was quite free with
He offered numerous schemes for spending public money.
Doubtless that helped him with a number of voters.
But, facing a Congress where he will find opposition
from Republicans- and conservative Democrats, he isn't
apt to get far with a spending program. Whereupon he can
biame Congress for failures to carry out his promised pro
gram. On the other hand, had Nixon beeif elected, he would
have been confronted with a strong Democratic majority in
both the House and Senate. He, too, would have been un
successful in promoting legislation and would have found
most of his proposals thoroughly kicked around for. political
purposes.
Congress will have another reason for not going over
board on Kennedy's program. The popular vote was so
close that Kennedy can't claim a "mandate." Congress
will be able to point, to the division of popular opinion as
a reason for a middle-of-the-vofld program. ,
Trouble Anticipated , v ', , ....'..'.'
" But congressional troubles,
fined to the President s program. I expect that our Oregon
congressional delegation will furnish, an exceedingly poor
spectacle.
The unpredictable Sen. Morse, according to the "grape
vine," blames Maurine Neuberger, newly elected senator,
for the feud he had with her late husband. He's not apt to
play ball on her team. There also is a rumor that she and
Edith Green, reelected to the House, aren't the best of per
sonal friends. (
' Another straw-in-the-wind is that the Morse ego took a
terrible beating when he was rudely slapped down in efforts
to get Oregon's favorite son nomination to the Democratic
convention. Leading the forces that beat him was Rep.
Green. She was Kennedy's campaign manager in Oregon,
and he won the popular vole and the state's nomination.
That isn't apt to make Morse happy.
One factor was eliminated with the defeat of Rep. Por
ter. Porter was state chairman for the left-wing Sen. Hum
phrey and in that capacity wasn't popular with either
.Morse or Green.
There is a possibility that expected bickering in the Ore
gon delegation may be relieved, however.
There is some talk to the effect that Mrs. Green, who
certainly is deserving of a big reward from the Kennedy
camp, is to receive a high appointment possibly a cabinet
post. There also is talk that Sen. Morse, who has been ac
tive in the foreign relations field, may be given an assign
ment in that activity.
If that is done, replacements, which should be made
from the Democratic ranks,

I In The Day's News
ly FRANK
As (his is written. President-,
elect Kennedy and Vice-President
Nixon, who was Kennedy's unsuc
cessful opponent in the recent very
close Presidential race, have just
held a friendly conference in Flor
idawhere both are resting up aft
er what might be accurately des
cribed as the Herculean labors of
an American Presidential cam
paign. The conference was held at what
the correspondents describe as
Nixon's "villa." That might be a
little misleading, Mr. Webster de
fines a villa as "a country prop
erty; as, Cicero had a VII. LA at
Baiae; hence, a somewhat preten
tious rural or suburban residence."
Mr. Nixon isn't in quite that
f imperiled class. His "villa is sim
y his quarters at a more or less
typical Florida hotel operated on
what is known as the "casa" sys
tem, meaning a detached cottage
that is for rent by the day, by the
week or by the month. The Nixons
have vacationed there from time
to time. i
Anyway, Mr. Kennedy and Mr.
Nixon met there. Mr. Kennedy
seems merely to have dropped
over for a chat. It was a friendly
and courteous and thoughtful ges
ture. Mr. Kennedy says no mcnlion
was made of finding a job for Mr.
Nixon. They just talked, were
photographed and went their ways.
It seems like a civilized way to
do it. ,
What about a job, in the new ad
ministration, for Mr. Nixon?

Reds Are Ready To Drive
Nails In Cuba's Coffin
Underground sources report the
Communists are just about ready
for a try at driving the final nails
into the coffin of what once was
free Cuba.
As the Cubans begin to lose
their enthusiasm for government
by mass meeting, the Communists
are moving on two important
fronts to consolidate their grip
and substitute government by
fear and suspicion.
First, the Communists are the
inspiration for the organization by
the ridel Castro regime oi wnai
appears to be a secret police
system closely fashioned on the
lines of the Soviet MVD of
Stalin's day.
This police setup is reported to
go under the name of "0-24" for
reasons known best to its organi
zers. A Czechoslovak Communist
Revision Of Washington
Motor Laws Advised
OLYMPIA (AP) Several re
visions in Washington laws involv
ing motorists were recommended
here by two subcommittees of
the Legislative Interim Committee
on' Highways.
Thev included one proposal un
der which a traffic police officer
could issue a citation at the scene
of an accident even though he may
not have witnessed it. Under pres
ent law, an officer can only issue
a citation if he saw the violation.
Also recommended was the re
peal of a law which requires a
motorist to have 20-50 vision or
better, with or without eyeglasses.
Repeal would thus turn over to the
state director of licenses the pow
er to set visual standards in the
obtaining of a driver's license.
Both subcommittees approved a
recommendation for the establish
ment of a standard traffic ticket.
The . subcommittees took no ac
tion on a recommendation by Dr.
Charles P. Larson, Tacoma path
ologist, to lower the drunkomeler
"drunkenness" test reading from
150 to .lira.
Larson said eight drinks In two
hours of what he called "good
scotch or hourbon would not
boost the testing machine to .130.

JENKINS
Well, it could be a good idea
The big task facing the U S A
in the next four years is to man
age its foreign affairs so wisely
and so soundly as to maintain our
position in the world and at the
same time to AVU1U anotner world
war which would be disastrous.
That task is so TREMENDOUS
as to call for the best efforts of
ALL of our people especially our
leaders. Mr. Nixon has had a lot
of experience. His experience
shouldn't be wasted. One of the
soundest principles of what we
might call our Anglo-Saxon system
of government is that there must
he NO POLITICS in foreign af
fairs. The English, from whom we In
herit much, have an admirable
tradition that the parly OUT OK
POWER is to he regarded as
what they term HIS MAJESTY'S
LOYAL, OPPOSITION.
That is to say:
The party out of power Is truly
the PARTY OUT OF POWER. But
is it also the PARTY IN OPPO
SITION. Its job, is to OPPOSE
what it regards as unwise and. un
sound. Criticism, when it is honest
criticism, is good for all of us. It
is good for us as individuals. It is
good for us as nations. It keeps us
ON OUR TOES.
So
Let's hope Mr. Nixon doesn't
take any job in the new adminis
tration that will limit his ability,
or his inclination, to oppose any
policies that appear to him to be
unwise and unsound.
who himself is a veteran of the
Soviet MVD service is reported
to be in complete charge of
whipping the network together, so
that control eventually will be
complete over every aspect of
Cuban daily life.
When this organization is in
final shape, the Communists can
nope Cuba will be as much a
satellite of the Soviet Union as
Hungary, no matter what label
the Castro regime chooses to pin
upon itself.
Second, the Communists are
quickly enveloping the leadership
of the labor unions and taking
steps to insure domination in that
field. A new set of regulations,
either already adopted or about
to be adopted for the control of
labor, has been drawn up by the
executive of the Cuban Labor
Confederation, which more and
more is coming under Communist
domination.
"Every labor center will be
come a garrison in which the
working class will wage battle
for production," says one of the
new regulations, foreshadowing a
barracks-like existence for many
a Cuban working man.
"In every plant and firm,
vigilance must be Increased to
reduce the danger of acts of
sabotage by the enemies of the
revolution," says another, in an
echo of the ever-wary leaders of
the Communist world.
All these things have the omi
nous sound which lias been heard
many times before as other Dem
ocratic regimes in Europe .and
Asia were slowly suffocated.-' T
Cuba today apparently swarms
with agents of Communist nations.
Their first objective appear to
be what Cuban Communist chief
Bias Roca has just demanded:
"Solidifying the revolution." This
means taking the revolution away
from Fidel Castro, making him
a figurehead for as long as his
presence on Hie scene may be
necessary, and running the coun
try to suit the policies of Moscow.
Once the Communists rivet
their totalitarian controls into
place, the United Stales can ex
pect a steady stream of trouble
in many areas of Central and
South America.

Greater Water
Control Needed
Says Engineer
- DENVER (AP) If the United
States can rocket a man to the
moon, it can bring the Mississippi
and Columbia rivers to arid parts
of the west, the National Agricul
tural Credit Conference was told
here.
Wayne D. diddle, Utah state
engineer, said this country must
put forth greater effort to provid
ing water where it is most needed.
In a speech prepared for deliv
ery at the ninth annual confer
ence, Criddle said nature delivers
moisture which, properly timed
and distributed, would meet vir
tually all needs of man. But the
engineer added: "Our problem is
not that there isn't enough water,
but that we do not think we have
the funds to develop it for luse
where needed.
"f claifh that if we have the
know-how and money to put man
on the moon, we can also utilize
the waters of the Columbia and
Mississippi rivers on the great
arid fan south and west of them."
Criddle observed that water in
some parts of (he nation is too
cheap, too plentiful to get good
usage.
"As water becomes more ex-
' pensive, it will be used more
sparingly and efficiently, but it
will be used.
"As our uses increase and the
cost rises, needed water will be
obtained and paid for regardless
of the pain to the buyer."
Criddle said the West's exper
ience with water projects proves
that benefits are many and varied
embracing agriculture and indus
try and thereby the region's en
tire economy.
Examiner To Hear
Power Dam Rivals
WASHINGTON (AP) Power
Commission examiner Edward B.
March was to hear argument
Tuesday on two rival' applications
to build a power dam on the Pend
Oreille River in northeastern
Washington.
The applicants are Seattle and
the Pend Oreille County Public
Utility District. The city seeks
commission approval lo build a
dam at the boundary site, and the
district wants one at "Z' 'Canyon.
Bolh proposals are opposed by
the Interior Department and min
ing interests on the ground that
the dammed water would pose a
threat to mining operations in the
area.
Lenglhy hcarinss in the case
were ended last February. In all,
17.228 pages of testimony were
taken and about 500 exhibits en
tered. The hearings started in
January, 1959.
CHILD CLINIC SET
The Well Child Clinic fcr the
Riddle area will be held Fridav in
the Riddle Episcopal Parish Hall
from 10 a.m. until noon. Dr. John
Donnelly, county health officer,
and a registered nurse1 will be
present, according to Erma Best,
correspondent. The examinations
are for children from six weeks
through pre-school age. For an ap
pointment, call Mrs. Eugene Tray
lor, TR 4-2497.
Wheat Supports
secretary!
Under the plan, the
of agriculture would determine the
total amount of wheat needed for
domestic and export use during
the next marketing year, settin
this figure as "wheat for orimary
use
.. - -
Then a national wheat produc
tion quota 150 million bushels be-
low the "primary"
be set. and individual wheat pro
ducers would be allotted their
share of the total.
Once his share of production
was reached, a farmer could mar
ket no more wheat that marketing
year.
Meantime, the "extra" 150 mil
lion bushels needed would be
drawn from the surplus stocks,
thus reducing the surplus at the
rate of 150 million bushels yearly.
The government would provide
no price supports but would main
tain a 100 per cent parity support
on the surplus wheat used the 150
million "extra" bushels.
The program was presented to
more than 500 delegates by Walter
Reese, president of- the Benton
County Wheat Growers' Associa
tion, and Glen L. Bayne, president
of the Washington Stale Wheat
Growers.
Cutter Hurries
To Aid Of Yacht
HONOLULU (AP) ' The Coast
Guard cutter Basswood was ex
pected to reach the crippled San
Diego yacht Red Witch around
daybreak Wednesday and low it
750 miles to Honolulu.
The 40-foot yacht is adrift north
east of Hawaii. It is rudderless,
has a damaged engine and its
sails and rigging are in bad con
dition. The Canadian navy vessel Fras
er and Assiniboine reached the
Red Witch Sunday. The Assini
boine proceeded on to San Diego,
leaving the Fraser to stand by
the crippled yacht.
The Fraser told the Coast
Guard "all aboard are in good
physical shape and spirit."
Aboard the Ked Witch are Vic
tor Wcstfall, a former Convair
plastics engineer: his wife Fran
cis, their two children, Vicky and
Clyde; and two crewmen. William
B a s s e r i and James Smith, all
from the San Diego area.
The Fraser sent a repair crew
aboard tne Ked witcn. They found
tne pistons of the auxiliary en
gine had frozen in the cylinders.
Wcstfall, the yacht owner, sailed
from San Diego two months ago.
The disabled yacht was first
sighted Friday by a M a t s o n
freighter, the Hawaiian Rancher,
which put aboard food and water.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi

Nixon had narrowed the margin
to 257,590.
As officials counted absentee

U.S. Gold Loss
Shows Increase
WASHINGTON (AP) A flight
of "hot money" tc Europe caused
a sharp increase in the U.S. bal
ance of payments deficit in the
July-September quarter.
The Commerce Department is
sued a preliminary estimate to
day that the deficit reached an
annual rale of $4.3 billion during
the three months. The rate for the
preceding quarter was $2.9 bil
lion, i '
This situation has led directly
to an increased loss of gold by
the United States and has prompt
ed top-level moves to stem the
worrisome gold-dollar drain.
The balance of payments repre
sents the difference between the
amount which foreigners spend and
invest in the United States and
the larger amount which this
country spends, invests and gives
away abroad.
As foreigners build up. a dollar
surplus in their dealings with the
United States, they use part of
the surplus to buy American
gold.
The Commerce report showed
that gold purchases by foreigners
during the third quarter amounted
to S637 million compared with S94
million in the preceding three
months.
The big factor was a movement
of "hot money." This term is ap
plied to money which is shifted
about to gain the highest interest
yield available.
