- Russia's foreign minister Gromy
ko serves notice on United Nations
Wednesday morning that it will in
Sist on its "troika" plan for three
secretaries - general EACH WITH
THE VETO POWER.
-There is at least this comforting
thought:
-WE CAN VETO THE TROIKA
-Question:
Z Suppose that here in Oregon, or
in California, we elected a legisia
ture and then gave to each mem
ber the right to veto anything or
everything the legislature did
- what would haDDen?
The answer is that the legisla
ture would do nothing at all.
That's the reason Russia insists
on the veto.
What's a troika?
The dictionary explains thai It
is a Russian vehicle drawn by
three horses abreast. As I recall
the legend, it was from a troika
that the Russian family threw the
children in their tragically useless
effort to APPEASE the pursuing
wolves.
, Let's keep this in mind:
If we ever try appeasing the Rus
sians, the consequences will be as
tragic for us as they were for the
.Russian family that tried appease-
incut on the wolves.

..' There's a lot of talk about NE
GOTIATIONS with Russia on the
Berlin issue.
- Let's nut it this wav: '
T Suppose you and 1 1 solemnly
agreed to do certain things. Sup
pose, at a later date, I broke the
'agreement, saying: "I won't do
.what we agreed to do. I'm going
to do something else."
.' What would there be to negoti
ate? . The answer Is simple. There
would be NOTHING to negotiate.
That's about the way It is in Berlin.
We have two choices. We can fight,
or we can run. '
If we run, we're goners.
" That's about the long and the
short of it.
Skipping from Berlin to taxes, the
Commerce Clearing House, a na
tional private reporting agency on
and business law, reports tbat
'during the fiscal year that ended
on June 30 the 50 state govern
ments collected 19 billion dollars
in taxes.
The total collections amounted to
a record average' state tax burden
of $106.03 on every man, woman
jinn child, i no pec eapiia lax nur
"den ranged from a low of SU3.23 in
New Jersey to a high of $205.92
in Hawaii.
By way of comparison, the feder
al per capita tax is about $460.00
or approximately 4.3 times the
average state per capita tax.
Pleasant note in the report:
.- Throe states OREGON, Wy
oming and Ohio DECREASED their
'total collections during the year.
All the others INCREASED.

A GOOD BOY
By Charles V. Stanton
Oreeon Senator Wayne Morse has made another 8vitch
and seems to be eettintr away with it. .The switch has
received little attention or comment.
Sen. Morse has loner been a non-conformist. He has
been bellifrerent. Ho has portrayed himself as a deter
mined "independent," although he has consistently jumped
throueh Labor s hoot).
Morse has offered to fight everybody from the Presi
dent on down. He has villified our Presidents and many
of our prominent people. He has insulted women who
have made important contributions to our government
He proclaimed himself a member of the Republican
Party so long as the Republicans had a majority in Ore
aon.r Never did he support the Republican platform. In
stead he voted with the New Deal. But, as a Republican,
he won elections.
Then the Democratic Party gained control in Oregon
and Wayne L. immediately became a Democrat and was
accepted as a flag-waver for that party.
He was a critic of virtually every piece of legislation
he didn't originate, unless it had Labor's backing. He was
the self-proclaimed champion of the pee-pul, but sel
dom ever accomplished anything,' while taking credit for
plenty. ' ,
New Personality
When Eisenhower was first mentioned as a Republican
candidate for President, Morse was one of his ardent sup
porters. He urged the Eisenhower candidacy. Then, when
he couldn't be Eisenhower's running mate, as he appar
ently had hoped, and when he was denied even an oppor
tunity to help make tip the hisenhower platform, he quit
the Republican Party m a huff.
Jt would seem he had ambitions at the last presides
lial election. He was a candidate for a favorite son choice
from Oregon. From such position he would be able to
be one of the "string-pullers" at the convention and might
possibly manipulate himself into a major spot.
Hut Oregon people duln t approve the Morse technique.
He was quite thoroughly rejected in his bid for the favorite
son position.
It would seem that Morse was shocked to find himself
so lacking in popularity. As an astute vote-getter he ap
parently is out to repair his political fences. He has sud
denly donned a completely new personality. He has made
an about-face in the matter of poise and conduct.
Vulnerable Spot
Only a few months ago any press release from the
Morse headquarters was full of fighting words. He was
constantly challenging something or someone. He was
"fighting," "battling," "contending," "vying," "defend
ing," and so on.
Now, instead of quarrelling, Morse seems to be all
sweetness and light. He 'ain't mad at nobody." All at
once he has developed a spirit of cooperation.
Morse lias the ability to switch parties, nersonalitv.
prejudices at will and make his actions seem plausible.
utir, i question he can lool all the people all the time.
big Unander. lormer Oregon treasurer, recently an
nounced himself as a Republican candidate against Morse
at next year's elections. Many political observers have ex
pressed the opinion that Unander hasn't a chance.
'lhere may be a question as to Unander's ability to
beat Wayne Morse in a general election a contest be
tween parties. But I am inclined to the belief that Morse
is extremely vulnerable if opposed at the PRIMARY elec
tion by a person known to be a REAL member of the Dem
ocratic Party,
A good solid Democrat. I believe, one who has a sound
reputation with the party, would give Morse a tough race
for the nomination. In such a political battle he would he
a candidate within the framework of the majority party.
With the nomination of the majority party i:i his hands,
nowever, ne wouia oe naro to Dear.
Evidently Morse feels much the same wav for. like
Dennis the Menace with Christmas approaching, he sud
denly becomes "a good boy."

The annual office picnic is a

Cottage Grove
To Get Airport
SALEM (AP) The Stale Board
of Aeronautics accepted as a state
airport development project Wed
nesday an airport for the Cottage
Grove area.
Director Robert Dunn said this
will mean that the state will build
an airport in the area with the
cooperation of lecal and federal
agencies.
The board also ' approved an
$8,000 grant to help Salem finance
a $44,500 taxiway at McNary field.
This was $1,875 below the re
quest of the city, but the board
established $8,000 as a maximum
limit for any grant-in-aid project
for airports other than those
owned by the state.
The board also increased a!
grant for runway maintenance at
Ontario from S1.500 to $2,100 and j
provided $2,500 for lighting at the
Arlington Airport.
It established the Klonmouth-In-dependence
area as a priority
area for an airport. It put off
specific action until after local ;
residents acquire needed land. i
The board approved spending of :
tip to $10,000 each to protect run- i
way surfaces on state-owned j
strips at Toledo and llcrmiston. I
An airstrip at Prospect also was
accepted tentatively by the board. I
Dunn also said a meeting will
be Oct. 2 in Salem between rep
resentatives of til board, West
Coast Airlines and Eastern Ore
gon communities involved to seek
improved airline service as or
dered in Jlay by the Civil
Aeronautics Board.
The board adopted a long-range
plan listing priorities for airport
construction to meet needs of the
