EDITORIAL PAGE 4 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Thuri., Dee. 22, 1960 POLITICAL POWER By Charles V. Stanton 'Cabinet appointments by President-elect John F. Ken nedy indicate he doesn't propose to be trapped as was President Eisenhower in his first couple of years. When Eisenhower became President he inherited an officialdom composed principally of undersecretaries and employees named during the Roosevelt and Truman ad ministrations. At the same time he apparently sought to be neutral, insofar as party politics was concerned. But that wasn't to be. He was forced to take sides. His pol icies were deliberately sabotaged by holdovers from the New Deal, Fair Deal administrations until he finally put political "commissars" into the government. Kennedy, however, is starting out with some hard headed, experienced politicians in his cabinet. Where Ei senhower had in his cabinet only one man, a former Ore gon governor, Douglas McKay, who had actually been elected to office and knew his way around, Kennedy has a whole flock of experienced politicians on his cabinet and in secondary positions. Eisenhower's program got off to a bad start because of his babe-in-the-woods attitude toward practical politics. Because lie tried to avoid politics and political entangle ments, he was easy meat for a more vigorous opposition. McKay Was Victim Oregon was perhaps more concerned with this situa tion than other areas because it was the late "Doug" Mc Kay, former governor of the state, who became the focal point of Eisenhower's effort to avoid politics. McKay was made Secretary of the Inferior, a post vi tal to the Pacific Northwest. But the department over which he was given chief spot had long been a political plaything of the previous administrations. ' Because of the long period of time covered by the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, virtually every un dersecretary, divisional head and employee had come into the department during the period of Democratic control. Nearly all of them were under Civil Service and thus couldn't be easily changed or removed. Eisenhower was too popular with the public to become the target of the political opposition. ' McKay was the only man of cabinet stature with any knowledge of politics. He had been a mayor, a senator, a governor, and knew his way around in the field of politics. He, and others, begged Eisenhower to "get tough" with political leaders who were deliberately dragging their feet in conforming to policy and were, in fact, actually sabotaging some phase of depart mental operations. McKay's position as a politician with some knowledge of practical politics, poupled with the fact that the Depart ment of Interior had long been a party political playground, gave excellent opportunity for the opposition to center its hig guns on McKay. . President Eisenhower finally yielded to persuasion from McKay, Adams, and others to step out as a party leader and put some men with political savvy into the sev eral departments thus reducing the sabotage that was go ing on, but it was too late to save McKay. Action Indicated That Kennedy doesn't plan to permit his cabinet, nor his administrative departments, to lack political direction is indicated by the experiences of some of the people se lected to serve as aides. - Gov. Ribicoff will head the department of Health, Ed ucation and Welfare. ' Gov. Hodges will be Secretary of Commerce. , Gov. Freeman will take over the exceeding ly hard government post of Secretary of Agriculture For Secretary of the Interior Kennedy has selected a po litical warhorse, U. S, Rep. Udall. In the outfield are such men as "Soapy" Williams, governor; Adlai Steven son, former governor and twice candidate for the Presi dency; Chester Bowles, a former governor and V. S. rep resentative, just to mention a few. Kennedy won't be caught short on the matter of polit ical know-how. 1 At the same time, he has named young men who prom ise to be very aggressive in pushing the administrative functions of government. He has surrounded himself with a group of highly educated men. That's the same set-up that produced the socialistic-minded New Deal. Are we in for more of the same? Hal Boyle Youth Is Not Life's House, It's Merely The Entrance The model suit consists of a two- piece cylindrical aluminum tunic and torso, with sleeves and legs attached. Final materials will be chosen for physical and chemical characteristics which make them resistant to repeated exposure to radio-activity, ultra-violet and infra-red radiation, extre.-ne temper ature variations and meteoric impact. The dome-shaped top section is circled by a 14-inch-high window. inside the suit is the radio com munication unit, the air condition ing and oxygen supply controls, food storage bins, waste storage bins, searchlight control and elec trical power supply. When he gets tired walking around with all that stuff hanging from his shoulders, the astronaut can push a button and a seat will pop out so that he can sit down and rest. Incidental information: The suit won't come equipped with two pairs of pants. l'rcview ol the future for air travelers; Flight speeds in the next ten years for aircraft operating in the atmosphere are expected to level off at about 2.r00 miles per hour lour times the speed of sound. They can make 'em faster, but (he engineers explain that at speed neyond wacn 4 iriction of the at mosphere would make 'em so hot that the weight of the cooling equipment necessary to keep the temperature down would make em too heavy to carry passengers enough to make it pay. Speaking of speed A navy lighter plane built by a U. S. aerospace company can fly more than TWICE as fast as the muzzle velocity of a .22 caliber bullet. Which is to say that if the plane got started at the exact in stant when the .22 rifle was fired the plane would run away from the bullet like the rabbit ran way from the tortoise in the fabled race. In the case of a race with a .30 caliber bullet fired from a stand ard machine gun, the situation would be slightly different. In that event, the plane would FALL BE HIND the bullet for an infinitesi mal fraction of a second after the firing of the starling gun, but in a quarter of a second it would catch up and after that there would be nothing to it. The plane would soon be so far ahead that the bullet would give up in disgust. It sounds wonderful, but when all that comes about there will be drawbacks. At speeds like that, the airports will have to be so far trom the cities that when you include the time it will lake you to get from your home to the airport where you start and from the airport at the other end of the journey to your hotel, it woulri have been fast er to make the trip by car ill the first place. If That is There is any room left for high ways in that day. Los Angeles is already finding that it takes so much room for freeways to get people back and forth from where they live to where they work that the city fathers are beginning to wonder if, when the freeways are provided, there will be any room left for people to build houses on. James Marlow Rusk Appears Tea mp layer; Dulles Ran One-Man Show WASHINGTON (AP)-A lot le,ss talking and a lot less traveling. Those will probably he two basic differences between the way the late Secretary of State John fos ter Dulles handled foreign af fairs and the way Dean Rusk, who will take office as secretary next January, will do his job. There's another: Rusk appears to be more of a teampjayer than Dulles, who ran a one-man show. Risht at the beginning of 1953 the nation got an early insight although this wasn t realized at the time into how President Ei senhower's new secretary, Dulles, would operate. Rusk, President-elect John F. Kennedy's hand-picked secretary, has already perhaps given an ear ly insight into his ideas on run ning the Slate Department. If so, they are quite difterent from Dul les'. Only six days after taking of fice on Jan. 21, 1953, Dulles was making a report on Eisenhower's foreign policy before it had even begun. H set the pattern for many sim ilar reports and public pronounce ments to follow in the next six vears before Dulles died May 24, 1959. Only nine days after taking of fice he dashed overseas for a 10 day European survey. This set a pattern, too. Dulles made so many overseas trips ho became far and away the most traveled secretary of slate in history. Bui this traveling brought him a lol of criticism on grounds like these: 1. That he should have spent NEW YORK (AP) Met an in teresting fellow the other night al cocktail party. He wasn't on a diet. Was going to retire soon, though. Wasn't worried about it either. Had it all figured out. "I've decided on an unusual hobby," ho said, reaching for a third martini. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to make maturity mainly human matur ity respectable. "I've decided the best way to do this is through art, so I'm go ing to teach painting." "Yes, sir. Painting what?" "Why painting human maturity. nf course," he said. "It's the mosl neglected field on earth. "The accent on living for too long a time bus been on that most perishable of all experiences- youth.

"Why don't they paint pictures of prunes, which, after all, are only sophisticated plums? Don't tell me. I'll tell you. Because prunes are full of wrinkles, and it takes a really serious artist to draw an honest wrinkle." The old fellow reached out with an expert hand and speared a fourth martini from a passing tray.

Daily Bible Reading Message By Roseburg Ministerial Assn far more time in Washinglon, thinking about foreign policy and listening to advisors, instead of racing around the world to at tend to details and negotiations subordinates could have handled. 2. That his apparent feeling he had to handle everything person ally showed little confidence in his ambassadors abroad and his staff at home. Instead of team work, the State Department wound up with a one-man opera lion. Dulles was a dominant man, and Eisenhower relied on him tre mendously. Dulles was already a national figure in the foreign field before he took office. Rusk is hardly known to the public. Therefore, it would be unusual if Rusk attempted to start out with the same take-charge air that Dulles showed. Rusk doesn't seem to approve of traveling around anyway. He said "too much personal travel can get to be a bad habit." On Dec. 12, when Kennedy ap pointed him, Rusk was asked by newsmen if he had any very ear ly travel plans. He said no. Nor does he seem anxious to start making public pronounce ments about foreign policy prob lems in a hurry. He told the same reporters on the same day when asked his for eign policy views: "I think it would be wiser for me not to get nuo speciuc questions on policy matters. . .at this tune. Rusk, judging from what he re portedly thought before being named secretary, doesn t mini mize the role of the secretary of slate in foreign policy but con siders the role of the president in that field as of the first im portance. ' This attitude may explain in part why Kennedy picked him aft er looking over the field of likely prospects for the job. It seems clear from Kennedy's conduct he intends to he boss in both domes tic and foreign problems. Reader Opinions Radio Program Errors Deplored By Reader To The Editor: For many months it has been my practice to review the radio and TV program schedules as pub lished in The News-Review. In do ing so 1 am made aware that dis crepancies occur continually. I wonder if either the station or newspaper is sufficiently concern ed to do something to correct it. I am aware that The News-Review states that the programs are printed as received from the re spective stations and as a free pub lic service. It does not accepl re sponsibility for variations from the original schedules as furnished by the stations. Many months ago, when one of the stations was owned by T h e News-Review, I called the station about errors in programming. 1 was told that they had notified the paper several limes but nothing ever was done to correct the er rors. Also they would reply by stating that the errors were un known to them, that they just worked for the station. Now it seems to me that for the good of all concerned it is much past the time when all heads hav ing anything to do concerning ra dio and TV programming should get together in a harmonious way for the good of the listening pub-J tic. The radio and TV stations are good and, as for The News-Review, it is second to none, but improvement should be made in the radio and TV program list ings. A. E. Newby ldleyld Rt., Box ilO Roseburg, Ore. Editor's Note Radio and tele vision stations operate on stand ard programs certain shows, music, news and other features at fixed time. They supply a standard program for publica tion by the newspaper. The ra dio programs are kept stand ing, except for seasonal changes. Television programs are changed weekly. Copy is given the news paper ten days to two weeks in advance of the first publication. Radio and television stations have little advance knowledge of any changes in network pro. grams. Usually Information on program changes is received by the stations too late for advance publication. Public events, pub lic interest, and public service broadcasts often are substituted at a moment's notice for stand ard "fixtures." The program then must be readjusted to fit. Interested persons, will find that newspaper "logs," even though subject to change, usually are far more up-to-date than the pro gramming scheduled in TV mag azines. Every attempt is made to keep programs current and correct, but information is not always available in time to give adequate notice to listeners. -CVS Freeman Wants Fresh Thoughts On New Federal Farm Program By OVIO A. MARTIN WASHINGTON (AP) Gov. Orville L. Freeman of Minnesota, designated to be the secretary of agriculture in the Kennedy ad ministration, wants to do some "fresh" thinking before deciding on new federal farm programs. Freeman declined at a pews conference here Tuesday to be drawn out on policies he will pur sue in an effort to carry out pledges of President-elect John F. Kennedy to improve farm condi tions. ' ' Freeman flew here from Minne sota s to meet with Secretary ol Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. the secretary spent 75 minutes giving his designated successor a briefing on his job and the prob lems he will have to tackle after Jan. 20. Benson and Freeman -had a cordial session in which Benson promised to do all within his pow er to help make the transition from the present to the new ad ministration go smoothly: This cordiality save little evi dence of the sharp difference be tween the two men on the farm issue. Benson wants to get the govern ment out of agriculture, while Freeman believes government should do more to help farmers solve their problems, particularly that of surplus production. freeman refused to say wheth er he would attempt to carry out tight production controls ad vanced by Kennedy during the campaign. He did indicate, how ever, great effort would be made to use the surpluses to help the needy at home and abroad. Shortly before Freeman ap peared for his session with Ben son, the department issued a fore- E.

He speaks highly of that power which supports all true believers in the midst of every degree of distress. So certain is Paul of Christ's eternal presence that he predicts his own future with anticipation and exultation. This future is not cheerful op timism or human salesmanship hut it is the product of a firm faith in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In behalf of the Keep Oregon Green Association we sincerely thank you for your fine support of this public service 'program. Fire season severity was rated very high in Western Oregon. Both summer and fall were slightly mure severe than comparable parts of the previous season. Considerably more man caused fires were reported by all protec tion agencies. On state and pri-' vately protected lands more fires remained small, and fewer fires reached large size than would he expected. The record on stale and private lands may indicate good control of man-caused risks, ef fective initial attack, and good follow-up. Your fire prevention news items and editorials resulted in keeping our citizens forest fire conscious and also resulted in fires being promptly reported. According to a preliminary re port by the U.S. Forest Service and State Forestry Department a total of 1.068 man caused fires oc curred. II was also a bad year for lightning fires 1.423 were reported. These fires before being controlled burned over more than 90,502 acres of forest and range lands. The cost of suppression and the loss of timber will run into several million dollars. We hope the lfltil season will be less severe and that we can again count on your fine support of the Keep Oregon Green program., Alhert Wiesendanger Executive Secretary Keep Oregon Green Assoc. 2750 State St. Salem, Ore.
