Maybe he's waiting for us to offer to trade him tractors for it. Sending hijackers pver to n a b our big million-dollar airliners and then selling them back to us (or swapping them for things he needs) could open up a right profitable business for Fidel and his gang. iDrtdfUAL PAGE 4 The News-Review, Roseburg Ore. Tues., Aug. 1, 1961 That brings up something else. There is a new .Tractors for Freedom committee. It is called the Families Committee, because most of its 11 members have rela tives among the invasion prison ers. Its objective is lo trade pris oners for Iraclors. Not necessar ily in one big swap. Piecemeal. A certain number of prisoners for each tractor or vice versa, if need be. Who are these prisoners? They are the 2,000-odd poor devils who, relying on our prom ise of help, laid their lives on the line in the ill-starred invasion to rescue Cuba from communism. They thought we were going to hack them with military force sul- ficient lo make their gamble of their lives worth while. We didn't do it. We pulled out at the last minute, fur reasons thai have never been fully disclosed , leaving them to their fate. One can't help wondering what Teddy Roosevelt would have said if the Hey of Tunis in a quite similar situation had offered to trade the American Perdicaris, who had been kidnaped by a Tu nisian handil, for say an Ameri can warship (they didn't have tractors in those days.) What an explosion there would have been! It was different in Jefferson's time. As you will recall, the Barbary States pirates had hi jacked one of our ships, the Philadelphia. They look it into the harbor of Tripoli. Stephen Decatur, com mander of the flagship of our Medi- lerranean squadron, look a small vessel, the Intrepid, and with a picked hand of American sailors crept mlo the harbor, swarmed onto the Philadelphia's deck, over came the Tripolitnn crew, set fire to the ship and under fierce fire from the Tripolitnn batteries made his way back lo our fleet. Not a man was killed and only one was wounded. The Great Eng lish admiral, Horatio Nelson, call ed Decatur's exploit THE MOST BOLD AND DARING ACT OF THE AGE. Admiral Nelson himself was quite a man. Off Cape Trafalgar on the coast of Spain hack in 1805, he hoisted his famous signal: "England ex pects every man will do his duty." With only 27 vessels, he attacked the combined French and Spanish fleets and destroyed Ihein, thus making England the Mistress of the Seas. He was wounded hy a sharp shooter's bullet in his spine and died during the battle. His last words were: "Thank God, I have done my duty." Getting hack to Decatur, a de cade after his Philadelphia exploit he led an American fleet against the Barbary Stales pirates, lold them what was what Oil EI.SK, and they promised to STOP PI RACY against American shipping. It was thus that the young Ameri can Republic a century and a halt ago cleaned up an outfit of hi jackers that all the great nations i( Europe had been afraid to tackle. Ah me! How times have changed! ABLE CANDIDATES By Qharles V. Stanton Charlie Porter has announced he will again seek to he a congressman from OteRon'fi fourth District. His an nouncement has created some consternation, particularly in Democratic forces. No one was happier to fret rid of Porter than a num ber of leading Democrats. Porter's inability to separate his activities between the legislative and executive branches of government, his friendship toward Red China, his personal participation in Castro's revolution, his as sociation with communists, suspected communists and parlor pinks proved extremely embarrassing to the party. I Yet, because he had the nomination, Democrats had to 'accept him on the ticket. I hat, in my opinion, is one big fault with Uregon s election laws a party must accept as a candidate any person who wins nomination, regardless of whether the party may approve of that candidate, his policies and his actions. Porter suffered a very humiliating defeat. He was a candidate in a district which has a large Democratic majority in registration. Yet his Republican opponent, j relatively unknown, was given a substantial margin in the general election. 1 he election of a Republican in a strongly Democratic district was not a desirable exper ience for a party that swept most other contests. But a lot of Democrats didn't want Porter and were willing to l vote for his opponent. Too Many Candidates The party again is apt to find itself in an embar-j rassing position if it doesn't do something in the direc tion of prevention. The Democratic Party has too many able prospects j for the job. Robert Duncan, Medford attorney, Speaker or the House of Representatives, is proclaimed as one possible candidate. Two prospects are from Roseburg, Sen. Al Flegel and Rep. W. O (Bun) Kelsay. Others mentioned include Robert Straub. l.ane county legislator and stale party chairman, Kd Harms, former Springfield mayor, Clarence Bartpn, Coquille attorney, active in the Legis lature, and others. If these possible candidates should get in a hassle for the nomination, Porter is apt to get the nod. He has a group of very active and vocal supporters. He's a great favorite with the Socialist crowd. They give him a solid core of votes on which to build. Then, too, there is no denying his energy, his hand shaking ability, and his pleasing personality. He won his nomination by vigorously shaking hands and meeting peo ple for Reveral years ahead of his election. From his school days he has cherished a desire to serve in the Congress. He has ideas ideas that seem strange to a good many people concerning peace. He has vowed to promote peace but seems to be promoting the communist type of peace, which certainly is some thing we don't want. Decision Needed The Democratic Party, it seems to me, should be de ciding upon a party-approved candidate immediately and should be working on behalf of the candidate named. One of the tricks of politics is to get a number of good men running for a nomination while a weaker man, with a minority following, sneaks in. That's exactly what can happen next year if the Democrats fail to make a decision at once as to who the candidate shall be. Torter isn't to be laughed off as a candidate. He can be counted upon to put up a formidable battle. I ques tion that the Democratic Party wants a one-lime loser particularly Porter for a standard bearer. But they may find themselves again embarrassed by his nomination uti-j less they start building a barrier against him. i Many people will say that Porter should be elected,) if lie is desired by the majority of voters. And that, un questionably, is a good argument. But the nomination of a minority camliuale necause too many more atne men split the vote among themselves, isn't good politics. Democrats, it seems to me, have a heavy responsibil ity. In a district such as this, where the party is so strongly entrenched, it owes to the voters the duty of putting forth able candidates, not offering more undesir able candidates simply because the party has the votes needed to win an election.

Premier Rene Pleven, got another thought, instead of having separate Euro pean armies glaring at each other as in the past, why not unify them in one army, including Germany, which then would be an ally and not an enemy? The French Parliament, still afraid of a rearmed Germany, killed this notion. But the idea ol cooperation among the six called Ihe Inner Six was just starting. ln 19.'i7 they signed another treaty, called the European Eco nomic Communilv or Common Market. The six would trade freely among themselves, wiping out tariffs on each other's goods. A man in Rome could buy a Ger man car (or Ihe same price he'd pay in Bonn. With this start, it was thought, the Inner Six could go on to ever greater cooperation, perhaps some day to a common citizen ship. Collectively they would achieve (ar greater strength tn coping with the Vnited Stales and Russia than they could eer hope for singly. But Britain, with its long lone wolf history of slaying out of con tinental entanglements and play ing one power off against another, wouldn't .loin. It created a rival trading group of its own called the European Free Trade Association lEFTAi in 1960. It had seven members known as the Outer Seven Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Den mark. Hut while Ihe purpose of the In ner Sis was to eliminate tartlf harriers against their own goods they also arranged to create a umlorm tariff wall against the goods from any other country.

How many young girls are fos ter children because they became frustrated when their mothers asked them to do the dishes and tells some nosey neighbor, who in turn gets the child lo the nearest juvenile office, and causes the governor to gain another child and a mother to lose one?
