Dave Hoover's claim to the title of "real re publican" is under some challenge. On this page appears a certified copy of Hoover's registra tion record in California. He registered in 1939 In Los Angeles county but refused to give any party affiliation. The clerk accordingly filled In the party blank thus: "Declines to state." That was how -Hoover felt in 1939, unwilling to Identify what party he would enroll in, although the new" deal which he now denounces was still in command in Washington. After Hooyen came to Oregon in 1942 he registered as a republican, "and now poses as the truest of the breed as he makes his race for United States senator. oover'i party pedigree "is under challenge I from another source. John McBride, bis little known opponent along with Wayne Morse, also use, "real republican" on his literature as ap plying to himself. And he asserts that Hoover was a democrat until 1933. !: !; We are not very rigid on party regularity -While the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest tinner may return." We would like to convert other democrats or others who decline to state" their party affiliation to the republican faith. It does irk us though when 'late converts start drawing up rules of orthodoxy arid "churching" those with whom they disagree. fWith two men claiming to be the "real" republicans the handle is being overworked. We like; much better the representation made by a legislative candidate who refers to himself as a 'realistic republican.1 Morse is one. And repub lican voters better be realistic if they want their parfy to gain in public favor, , are man-developed. To hold our visitors we need such features as this garden. We hope the idea .long urged by Mr. Aldrich and now, sup ported by the state federation of garden clubs will prompt early action, i Oil Companies Are Sued . A. civil action under the Sherman anti-trust law has been started by the government against the seven major oil companies on this coast. In junctions are sought on a series of alleged bad practices, first of which is the present practice of contrplling production in California under voluntary agreement. The California conservation method was adopted jwhen the state by vote rejected legal production control such as prevails in Texas and Oklahoma. The government attorney emphasiz ed that his attack was not on the principle of conservation but on its extra-legal nature in California. In other words, let California create a state agency to govern production and not let private companies dictate. Another item on the list is alleged price sta bilization through the bell-wether plan: one company: (usually Standard of California) posts its prices and the other companies promptly fall in line. This, however, would be almost inevit able, without any agreement or understanding. For competition would bring prices virtually at a level, for the "high" company would get no business. The announced objective! of the suit is to force lower prices on gasoline, a result which would be welcomed by motorists particularly.

There are great and famous gardens in other parts of the world and -they attract thou sands of visitors year after year. In the south, for instance, regular tours of gardens are staged in the spring when camellias and azaleas are in bloom. The tour business has become very pro- fitable to the private owners of gardens, to spon sors of the tours and to businesses serving tour- But through the south, gardening seems to be confined pretty much to the big gardens. The individual home owner does very little to im prove his place.' The grass is scrawny and sparse; a few shrubs are stuck around the houses.

Resident Truman's elevation of Leon Keyserling to the chair- manship of the f" cguncu - 01 eco nomic advisers has hardly caused" a ripple it has been generally re carded as Just another routine shift In this administration's endless game, of musical chairs. But. in aatoct it is a rood c.al more than that In the first place, the council, like the budget bureau, the Na tional Security council or the Na tional Security Resources board, forms -an important portion of the invisible government, of the United States. This invisible government is potentially, and often actually, mere important than the visible cabinet govern ment. In the second place, together with former White House coun- ael Clark Clifford, Keyserling is one of the original architects of - the Fair Deal. His appointment after six months delay, and over the opposition of the administra tion conservatives who - follow the tattered banner of Treasury. Secretary John Snyder, is thus a; major victory for the Fair Deal element in the administra tion. And even now the Fair Dealers are by no means a solid ifiajority within ftfe Fair Deal. j -j :,v.- ; The Snyder group would have much preferred a conservative as chairman of the council, like Keyserlings predecessor. Dr. Edwin Nourse. This would have prettr well hamstrung Keyser ling. But Keyserling is an ag f tessive and energetic man,' and -ubw that -.he is the -economic grand panjandrum of the Tru man administration, he will have very great influence on admin istration policy. It is, therefore, pertinent to inquire just where Keyserling 'stands. k One way to begin this inquiry is to examine -his differences with Nourse, which had a great deal to do with Nourse's resigna tion. Nourse' favored the jivory tower version of the council's role. According to Nourse, the council should in effect whisper its , economic views into the president's ear, while holding it self , strictly aloof from the po litical hurly-burly. 1 Keyserling, on the contrary, strongly believes that the chair man should defend the adminis tration's economic policies before congress and the public, in the same way that the secretary of state, for example, defends the" administration's foreign policy. This in itself suggests that Key serling has no intention of be coming this administration's for gotten man. Another, and more vital, dif ference between Keyserling and Nourse concerned defense poli cy. Nourse, wringing his hands and prophesying economic doom, was one of the- chief allies of Snyder .and Defense Secretary Johnson in the post-election de fense cutback. Keyserling, on -the other hand, has consistently ' argued that council : members simply are not qualified to de termine American military , re-: quire men ts. But he is convinced that the United States has the economic strength to carry what ever defense expenditures its se curity requires. J - Thus Keyser ling's appointment is likely to hasten the aciminis tration's creeping backdown oh Johnsonian "economy. i Keyser-' ling is also convinced that the council has an important part to play in determining foreign eco nomic policy, and here again he believes that the United States can afford "to do what it can't not do.w As for the domestic economy, Keyserling has usually been identified with the old New Deal school of Keynesian pump-primers. In fact, his economic think ing differs in a number of re spects from the depression-born theories pf the old New Dealers. He does not believe that a few billion pump - priming dollars would stave off a depression if the national income slumped se verely. Instead, he believes that economic salvation lies not only in maintaining the present huge national fincome, but in steadily increasing it. Indeed, Keyser lings economic theory recalls the Red Queen in "Alice in Wonder land"; "It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get some where else, you must run at least twice as fast" - ! ' He points out that the Ameri can worker's productivity in creases, because of labor-saving devices, by about 4 per cent a year, or SO per cent in ten years. Thus to buy what the workers make, and maintain full employ ment,, the national income must be increased in at least the same ratio. If the national income re mains constant even at its pres ent high (level, Keyserling esti mates, there will be 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 unemployed in ten : years, -1 - : Thus Keyserling is in fact the real author -of the peacock-in- every-pot vision of a $350,000, 000,000 national Income which Truman has been conjuring up. The vision is certainly a pleasant one. The trouble is that neither Truman, Keyserling nor any one else has any very exact idea of how it is to be realized. Yet at any rate however one may dif fer with bis views, Keyserling -is a man who has energy and ideas, and in this administration such a nan is welcome. - You remember mother ... she pas the woman who teas simply grand tvhjen you were tiny . .. but she seemed a litte dull ' wiited and behind the times when von first entered high school . . . and you were amazed Kow fast she took on wisdom tchen you had reached 20 ... and now, hf course, she is ihe best. She is the one whom you call at the last minute for a baby sitter (although you had sorta figured on her all the time) . . . she is about the only one who really thinks the new babies are cute ... and you wonder why she is never as strict with the grandchildren as she was with you . . . she can't remember ex actly when the statehouse burned down but she knows the year, month, day and hour when Jeach of her children got the mumps' and who swelled more thah who. Mothers have changed for one thing, they aren't mo- 4 thers so often, anymore . some mothers paddle thtir off springs with child psychology books now instead of with a stick of kindling . . they sometimes attend PTA instead of meetings of the "Hemstitchinflf, Small-Talk and Lemonade club" . . . but mothers are still mothers under thi ski n ii's just that you see more maternal skin these days. When all is said and re-said and the wash is on the line, though, this would be a dreary world(if hot an impossible one) without mothers . . . everyone, tries to remember mother on one day of the year while mothers think Of everyone every day of every year ... we fall all over ourselves honoring ma on Mo ther's Day and -then fall down on the job for the nexl 364 ... if mothers ever organize and bargain collectively for .their just dues, the world couldn't afford them .. . ; But mothers seldom gripe . . . they thrive on ba lancing the un-balanced . . . they like things right but it seems that most mothers spend most of their time in dresses they wouldn't be caught dead in, cleaning the litring room with one hand, battling the kids with the other, and listening to "John's Other Husband' .

He bases this conclusion on studies of, college alumnae who in 1906 began to marry younger nnri tn bear more children. It took long time for this pattern to seep through the whole popu lation, but seep it did, hence the boom in babies. The reaction against the single child family gave impulse to the trend, for, as Drucker says: "Ev ery young mother in this country today has become persuaded that the single child grows up under an. unfair handicap." And after No. 2, along came No. 3 in many cases. Drucker adds that the shift to the suburbs has encour aged having the third child. Will this increase in the birth rate be sustained, or will the old decline be resumed? Most of the population experts hold to the latter' opinion, , but their predic tions of a levelling off of our population at 140,000,000 or even 180,000,000 look valueless now. The present census is expected to turn up around 150,000,000 peo ple. Certainly the population growth in recent years confounds those political leaders of the new deal era who declared that ours had become a mature" economy, that our Industry was overbuilt. It looks 4 as though it will be many years before the birthrate will drop to prewar levels. I have the idea that our people - have awakened to the rich val ues of the family. Rapid indus trialization and urbanization dis-. integrated the family as an in teger. Xhe jazz age oi tne iszus drew people out oi their homes. When the world war came and possible death stared young men in the face, the old instinct for race preservation asserted itself. Young people have found and are finding in their families more en during satisfactions.1 ' Doubtless many young couples today wonder whether they x should bring children - Into this troubled, world. But their fears are overcome by the joys that come with children. The more the clouds gamer, the greater the frustration, the more the hard ships on the outside the more closely does the family draw to gether. The home is a haven of love and of security; ' A flower and a gift for mother today have become conventional ized. They please her. for her greatest joy , is In her mother hood. That more women are .finding this joy is one of the in teresting and, I think, pleasing facts of this distraught age.
