Newspaper Page Text. .-: FUt From Washington Wednesday Senator Wayne Morse (D. Ore.) questioned the truthfulness of Democratic Leader Mike Mans field of Montana in the senate Tuesday and told ' him he would NO LONGER look to him as his majority leader. He added: "So far as I am concerned, he (Senator- Mansfield) will never represent me as my majority leader-.- .-1. again. He is the ma jority, leader, but NOT with the support of the senator from' Ore gon. Get that clear!" Before tilings simmered down, Senator Morse extended his dis avowal of leadership to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) the Democratic party whip, or as sistant majority leader. EDITORIAL PAGE 4 The Newi-Review, Roteburg, Ore. Thuri., Aug. 2, 1962 DEMAGOGIC PATTERN By Charles V. Stanton Most readers of this newspaper are aware, I am sure, nf mir nfirsonal orjinion that a recent conference by the President with Democratic senators and representatives from the Pacific Northwest, concerning the ills of the lum ber industry, was political rather than economic. The President's recommendations, except for a couple of factors, are so much hofrwash, I have averred. I have been, and am, extremely critical of the fact that the Pres ident wasn't guided in his decisions by any economic mo tives. He didn't consult with advisory committees, nor with industrial leaders. Instead, he made his decision in cnnffir(nefi-with Democratic candidates seeking reelection He didn't "even discuss the matter with Republicans from the affected districts. He is seeking to increase the allowable cut from the Dublic domain. I can't understand how producing more lumber will help an industry already suffering from a mar ket glutted by imports from Canada. Situation Misused ' Why, Senator! You' AMAZE usl Out this way, we have always assumed that you have NEVER acknowledged ANYBODY as your leader. From Rothschild, Wisconsin: During what witnesses describe as a quiet and routine meeting last night, the Rothschild village board of supervisors adopted an ordinance that , would OUTLAW the barking of dogs. Why the lifted eyebrow? Dogs, you say, just WILL bark when , they feel that way? True 'enough. But when anything annoys us we Americans fix everything up by PASSING A LAW AGAINST IT. It's an old established custom among us. From Seattle: Century 21 turned the halfway corner the other day with an at tendance of four and a half mil lion people 250,000 more than had been expected. It looks like it might end up with a profit. As the fair passed the halfway CaDD;n- A A Friend mark, tho attendance figure dra- pp 8 MT M rriena It has been said in this column previously that the small mills are using the currently depressed condition of the lumber industry to secure some or the .tmngs tney nave been striving for years to put over. They want more and cheaper logs. They seek to get a foot in the door as the first act in breaking down the allowable cut, sustained yield practices which assure timber for future generations. They want in-transit loading, a process whereby they are able to sell cargoes en route, orten wnn mucn delay ana circuitous routine. I can't blame the operators of small mills for wanting these things. vThe history or the timber industry else where reveals the gradual elimination oT the greater num ber of small mills and eventual control by a few large cor porations. That same trend is evident in Oregon.- Can it be economically avoided? I doubt it. - - There is no question in my mind but that small mills and small operators have served an important place in the industry. Also they're strong politically in that they rep resent a lot of votes. It has been common practice that the "bigs" wait un til the small mills have pioneered an area,- have exhaust ed the greater part of the private timber and have become log-hungry often in severe financial straits. Then the big corporations move in. . . . , As I have said, we don t necessarily like the situation. but we might as well face the hard facts facts a good many people realize are true, but facts they prefer to ignore. Most of the suggestions made by the President, it seems to me are not economically sound. But he hopes, 1 Deiieve, that they will draw some votes from small null operators and their employes. While anyone realizes that permitting small mills to op erate by increasing the volume of logs may temporarily in crease opportunity for employment, it is equally true that if the small mills can't sell their product profitably the re sult will be bankruptcy. matized the happy endinc that is shaping up after a beginning thai was marked by mistakes caused by TOO MUCH PLANNING. Carry the word to our planners in Washington If they would do a little less planning and a little more realis tic paying of debts as they come due our nation would be better off, We've done a lot of planning in recent years, but the heck of it is that we're 300 BILLION DOL LARS IN DEBT. The Almanac j United Prtit International Today it Thursday, Aug. 2, (he 214th day of 1962 with 151 to fol low. The moon is approaching its first quarter. The morning stars are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The evening stnrs are Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. On this day in history: In 1858, Boston and New York City installed the first street let ter boxes for the collection of mail. In 1923. President Warren G llHrdlng died in a Sun Francisco hotel while en route back to Washington from a trip to Alas ka. In 1939, the search fur an atom bomb began when Dr. Albert Ein stein wrote a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt advising hi in that German scientists were try ing to find methods of manufac turing such bombs. In 1954, tho U.S. Senate voted, 7512, to form a select commit ted to weigh a motion of censure against Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. A thought for the iluy: Daniel Webster, the American state man, said: "Cod grants liberty only to those who love it. and are always ready to guard and defend it." Making the plight of our lumber industry a vehicle for political demagoguery is most reprehensible in my op inion, hven worse is the use and abuse of our natural re sources for the purpose of wooing and brityng votes and voters. " . ..' . -.. ' ,. ,. . .- . . Another action which I feel should be resented by the people of this area is the "slapping" of Canada bv vocal senators Magnuson and Morse from Washington and Ore gon. Canada is our friend. Canada is one of our best cus tomers, Canada, it is true, is mittim? lumber on the mar ket a lot cheaper than can be done by our mills under regulations imposed by the federal government. But Canada also has a deficit in its trade balance with the United States of some $1 billion nnnnnllv Pnnnrln is limited in the goods it can export. One of its principal ex ports is uimoer. oanatia once shipped most of its lumber to Europe and Asia. Now those markets are being sup plied ay communist Kussia, which uses slave labor. So canaaa tins turned to United States markets. That's nor mal competition. 1 can see nothing wrong with competi tion. Our own industry of the Pacific Northwest could be put on a far better competitive basis if we were to amend our transportation regulations. But, if we did that, Magnuson and Morse would run into a big lot of opposition and possible loss of votes. The railroad brotherhoods and teamsters unions wouldn't like any amendment to the transportation rules. So the two senators seek to drag red herrings across the trail to lead voters in the wrong direction. To threaten reprisals against Canada if it doesn't help elect our senators, to abuse a friendly nation out of sheer uemagoguery, is a piece ot political policy 1 don't like. Peter Edson Prince Souyanna Phouma Important U. S. Visitor WASHINGTON (NEA) The I grecs in architecture and engin- Washington visit of His Royal Highness, Prince Souvanna Phou ma (pronounced Pouma), premier of Laos, comes hard on the heels of the Geneva signing of a 14-pow-er agreement guaranteeing the neutrality of this little kingdom of 2Mi million people. The prince is scheduled to ar rive in New York July 26, fly to Washington that night, remain for four days of conferences with American officials and a speech before the National Press Club July 30. He will return to New York and depart for home Aug. 1. This will be one of the most important diplomatic visits to Washington this year because the future peace of all. Southeast Asia may rest on his ability to make and keep Laos neutral. Souvanna Phouma probably comes to the United States under some American doubts that he can make ' his coalition government succeed. The skeptical view is that , the premier is a front for his half brother, Prince Souphanouvong, head of the Pathet Lao and a vice premier. The fear -is that the lat ter will gradually take over and that Laos will go down the Com munist drain. ' American officials who have known Souvanna Phouma for years and worked with him closely insist this is not the case. He is considered pro-Western. As a de vout Buddhist, communism is rep ugnant to him. He is 61 and a pol itical realist. He was educated in Hanoi, French Indochina, then took de- eering in France. He is married to the daughter of a French fath er and a Laotian mother. They have four children. The Prince's family is Catholic. They have lived most of their lives in France and this has influnced the Prince's pro-Western views News Analysis: A Bronze Mermaid Is Symbolic Of Denmark's Adventurous Past By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Portion Ntw Analyst COPENHAGEN (UPI) A .

Souvanna Phouma who has been premier three times before may fail at it again. But while he is trying he is said to be de serving of all the help he can get. One of the subjects he will want to discuss in Washington is the type of aid he can receive from the United States and still main tain his neutrality. This puts Washington in a de lemma, for it could mean ming ling of American with Communist aid, for the good of Laos. It means walking a diplomatic tightrope to keep Communists and non-Communists satisfied that neither is favored, neither gains an advan tage by its own efforts. Souvanna Phouma has declared that the so-called Ho Chi Minn trail down the eastern Laos front ier must be closed. This is the supply line by which Communists from North Viet Nam have filter ed into Laos, Cambodia and South Viet Nam. By the 14-power agreement just signed in Geneva, the United States and the Communist countries agree to withdraw all their forces with in 75 days. bor. She is symbolic of Denmark's adventurous past and the present in which Denmark regards her self as part of a great Atlantic community rather than a nation which thinks of itself as confined to Europe. It is this thinking which first led Denmark to reject member ship of the "inner six of the Eu ropean Common Market and to associate rather with the "outer seven" of EFTA, the nations of the free trade area including Britain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden-, Portugal, Austria and Switzerland. DEAR ABBY ' Abigail Van Buren Overzealous Confession! DEAR ABBY; I go with a girl who goes to confession and tells the priest all kinds of things about herself that are not true. I wouldn't mind so much, but she includes me. Abby, she told me the doesn t know why she does it, but when she starts to talk she can't stop. I go to the same priest and I don't want him to think I am that kind of person, Should I tell the priest that she is lying? I am 17 and so is she. LIED ABOUT DEAR LIED ABOUT: Encour age your friend to "confess" to th. priest that she has lied about h.rtalf and you, not so much to protect YOUR reputation, but for the sake of her own peace of mind. Compulsive lying is frequently i symptom of an emotional disturb ance. Encourage your friend to see a doctor if It persists. DEAR ABBY: Is it proper for a bride to play the piano at her own wedding?

You were wise to have said nothing. Your friend's action rt vealtd her bad manners. DEAR ABBY: I think you are a big phony.

The six "inner" nations of the Common Market looked to ward political unity as well. They were West Germany, France, It aly, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. Of the two it was the Common Market which proved the most unified and the most dynamic. Followed Britain Therefore, fearful of finding it self shut out of the West Euro pean market by a common tariff wall, Great Britain decided a year ago to abandon EFTA and to apply for membership in the Common Market. Denmark quick ly followed. - For both it was a matter of eco nomic and political concern.

Roth Censures Senator Morse PORTLAND (UPI) Oregon ling the Senate leadership of Republican Chairman Phil Roth I M a n s f i e 1 d and Humphrey, said Wednesday Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., should be made subject to a censure vote by the Senate for his "contemptible conduct." Roth referred to Morse's at tacks on Senate Democratic lead ers Mike Mansfield and Hubert Humphrey during debate over the communications satellite bill that Morse seeks to block. Roth said Morse was "drag ging the prestige of the world's greatest deliberative body down to the level of a three-ring circus and a sideshow burlesque" when he suggested Tuesday Mansfield was lying. Morse later apologized to the Senate, but Roth said that did not make any difference. Recalling Morse's transfer from the Republican to the Democratic Party, Roth asked, "By repuoiai- bicycle-filled streets has given much concern to the fact that ul timately membership in the Com mon Market will mean the sur render of a certain amount of his jDanish sovereignty.

Corvallis Church 1 Confab Cancelled The 1962 Oregon Town and Coun- j try Church conference has been canceled for this year, according to an announcement from the Rev. Loren H. Bush, Corvallis, confer ence recruitment chairman. Lack of sufficient registrations to merit holding the conference was given as the reason. The conference had been sched uled for next week, Aug. 6 through 10, at Oregon State University. The Oregon Town and Country Church conference was started 14 years ago in an effort to help clergy and lay leaders understand and meet the challenges of the town and country church brought about by' social and economic enanges.

It is estimated that hy 1975 there will be 110 million vehicles and 12S million drivers. Traffic deaths in lmil wero 38, 000.

The Interstate Free way System is a massive step. A major area ot concern, how-' ever, according to the Automotive Safety Foundation in Washington, is driver licensing. Early licensing laws wero pri marily intended to identify driv ers and provide revenue.

Wand, of Troutdale, Ore., against Reyn olds Metals Co. This was the result of a ruling on an appeal of the company that the U.S. District Court should consider on its merits the effect of an agreement signed by Wand and others July 18, 1957, which purported to release Reynolds from damage claims. U.S. District Judge William G. Kast, of Portland, had previously held that the agreement would not bar the plaintiff's action in a pretrial order, but the court here said that the issue should be fur ther considered, either in more extensive hearings or in the trial itseir.
