"Therefore, he's got to make
politics his first business,' ' he
said, "because ' until we have
sound government he is not going
to have a prosperous business, not
in the long run.
Eisenhower said that if the Re
publican party can get across to
businessmen the message that pol
itics and government - are tied
closely to their future "we will be
on the road to real victory in
1962, and that is our first ob
jective."
"For my part, I think our coun
try is facing a very critical peri
od, and 1 believe that only some
resurgence of Republican control
over government can keep things
on a more level keel than they
are going on at the moment
Eisenhower said.
Eisenhower and Nixon spoke to
the GOP leaders in a big green
and white tent set up in a pasture
on the former president s farm.
The Republican bigwigs, includ
ing congressional leaders, cover
nors, alumni of the Eisenhower
administration and others, met
under a bright overcast sky.
Nixon said he has found the vot
ers "concerned with the increas
ing tendency to centralize power
in Washington." He said the trend
could be stopped by strengthening
state and local governments.
". . .The answer to bigger gov
ernment in Washington is better
government in our state," he said,
"Only by electing the best people
to state and local offices can we
gain the strength to resist the
temptation to dump our burdens
on Washingon.
"I believe that our represents
tlvcs in Washington must resist
the pressure of those who would
grab power as Republicans in
Congress have done so ably this
session. But I also believe that
we must attack the problem at
its root right in the states and
local communiies."
Nixon told his audience that he
was going to win in his bid to
unseat Democratic Gov. Edmund
G. Brown of California.
Even before Nixon spoke, the
pastoral meoting drew a sneer
from Democratic National Chair
man John Bailey and a cool re
sponse from the two top Repub
licans in Congress.

FBI and congressional investiga

$5,000 a day, Mundt said, and

Also, he announced, the govern

lost by finance companies on Es

Freeman replied that the gov

spend money to enforce the law
and said he meant that the gov

red cent . , . that went into Billie
Sol Estes' pocket."
Mundt also scoffed at Free

Mazama 'Blow.'
While not of a monetary wind-
fall, the charcoal, from charred .
tree trunks near the park unearth
ed by the CCC road crew, have
helped determine the approximate
date of the creation of the crater
for Crater Lake.
In the July issue of National
Geographic Magazine in an article
entitled "When Mt. Mazama Lost
Its Top" by Dr. Lyman J. Briggs,
the story of the date finding is
told.
Moore, it noted, while acting as
an educational adviser to the CCC
group came across the 'charred
trunks which had been buried by
the lava flows when the mountain
blew up.
Not knowing what the charcoal
signified, Moore took some sam
ples and kept them at his home.
After reading in the August 1958
issue of the magazine of the Car
bon 14 dating process, he sent the
samples to Briggs and Kenneth
E. Weaver, authors of the piece.
The U.S. Geological Survey ran
tests on the charcoal.
When all was completed, ' the
tes.ts indicated that the Mazama
volcanic eruption occurred 6,500
years ago or about 4G00 B.C.
Moore is pictured in the article
by a bank of earth which contains
a charred log. The area in t h e
Cascades near the Notional Park
contains many charred logs which
were buried by lava flows or tons
of pumice hurled aloft when the
volcano let go.
The magazine is available in the
county library.
