THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY
CHARLES A SPRAGUE. Editor and Publisher

Entered at tbo postoffice at Salem. Oregon, as eeeead class matter under act of eonxress March S. 1S7A,
Eisenhower Consents to Candidacy
Ike is in.
It was a sort of sided oor entrance, with Sen
ator Lodge pulling and Senator Duff pushing.
At any rate, his political sponsors got him ' to
consent to accept the GOP nomination for
President His own statement makes it clear
that (1) he is a Republican, (2) he will accept
the republican nomination for president, (3)
that he will take no part in the pre-convention
campaign, (4) that he will not resign his pres
ent job with NATO to enter the political lists.
This is the end of the mystery that was no
longer a mystery after his recent visit in
America. From what he said in public and
what his sponsors drew from him in private,
It was evident that he was ready to cross the
political Rubicon. It was also evident after that
visit that Democratic attempts to enroll him as
a Democratic candidate had failed.
Eisenhower's name will be entered in the
New Hampshire primary in March, the first to
be held. Four years ago he asked to have his
name withdrawn from that state's primary.
Then he wrote to Leonard V. Finder, publisher
f the Manchester Evening Leader:
"It is my conviction that the necessary and
wise subordination of the military to civil
power will be best sustained, and our people
will have greater confidence that it is so sus
tained, when lifelong professional soldiers, in
the absence of some obvious and overriding
reasons, abstain from seeking high political
office . . . Politics is a profession; a serious,
complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.
"In the American scene I see no dearth of
men fitted by training, talent and integrity for
national leadership. On the other hand, nothing
in the international or domestic situation espe
cially qualifies for the most important office in
the world a man whose adult years have been
spent in the military forces. At least, that is
true in my case."
To be sure he left himself an escape clause
"in the absence of some obvious and overrid
ing reasons" but some will assert that the
Ideas he expressed in 1948 are valid today.
It is only fair to Ike to say that he has lit
erally been dragged into this race, so far as
we can observe; that he would rauch prefer
To rest on his military laurels and engage in
private pursuits. He yields to what he feels is
the call of his country, to discharge his duty
as a citizen in very critical times.
Federal Harassment
If it can be assumed that the Oregon Physi
cians' Service has remedied some of the mo
nopoly features existent some years ago, then
it appears there is only one point to the Justice
Department's appeal that it be outlawed and
that point is the present administration's yen
for socialized medicine.
The government must know as well as any
one else that some sort of pre-paid medicine Is
here to stay that socialized medicine is as
sured, if private medical plans are voided, be
cause pre-paid medicine is desired by a large
hare of the public. We can see no other reason
for the present harassment of OPS than the
government's desire to take over the whole she
bang. And we are against it.
OPS was given a clean bill of health in a
prolonged hearing before Federal Judge Mc
Colloch in Portland. Now the Justice Depart
ment is taking the case to the Supreme Court
and its attorney says the court will have to
read the entire record of 8,000 pages in order
Jm conduct a review. It appears that Justice
Jackson is right in objecting to such procedure
and we are inclined to agree with him that "A
new trial' before this court isn't our duty. The
Closer American-British Ties Declared to Be
All-Important for Survival of Western Alliance
By Jseeph and Stewart Aisop
WASHINGTON The real
story of Winston Churchill's
American visit looks like being
d e p r e s singly
simple. The
great British
prime minister
came to this
country to offer
an embrace. But
when the caller
walked in the
door, he found
the temperature
in the parlor al
ready glacial,
with extreme primness on the
extreme edge of the hardest sofa.
Under the circumstances, the
embrace is all too likely to be
offered after all.
This perhaps
toe f rive loos
basse expresses
an imn easel j
grave choice by
the American
poller - makers.
This choice Is
stni tentative,
and may per
haps be altered
In the marathon
that are new
going on. Bat eve a before
Charchia arrived. President Tra
man. Secretary of State Dean G.
Acheaon and their advisers had
rather ebvieesly decided not te
grant the British leader what he
aaainly wanted, which .was a
staenslheaed partnership between
America and Britain.
A conflict of world views was
involved. In the world view of
Winston Churchill, a strong, inti
mate and organic partnership
between America and Britain is
the only possible core and center
of the Western alliance. He is
known to believe that the two
nations wartime partnership has
3jktely been allowed to lapse in a
most dangerous way. And al
MMMM MS g
though there were many other
vital issues to discuss, his main
object in coming to this country
was to restore the Anglo-American
partnership to full working
order.
The Churchill world view was
formerly shared by many of the
wisest American policy makers.
As recently as 1949, the brilliant
Ambassador - Designate to Mos
cow, George Kennan, all bat got
approval fer a plan of the sort
that would appeal to ChurchilL
But the State Department of
Dean G. Acheson now fears that
closer partnership with Britain
will entail "sacrificing Europe".
This Acheson State Department
remembers with resentment the
foot-dragging British approach
to the various projects of Euro
pean union. It shrinks from
bruising the feelings of the
French and other, lesser Allies
by forming special links with
Britain. And it shrinks also from
involvement in Britain's liabili
ties outside Europe, such as the
bitter unpopularity of the Brit
ish in the Middle East.
For these reasons. Acheson
does not want what Churchill
wants. He Is even reported to
have said that he could not see
why the prime minister bothered
te come te America, since every
thing was being satisfactorily
handled by himself and the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Oliver
Franks. This general eompla
eeney about existing arrange
ments has also been . expressed
in the claim that Britain and
America "are partners already".
In fact, however, the links that
still survive . from the ; former
Anglo-American intimacy today
conceal a frightening deteriora
tion of the Anglo-American rela
tions. At the same time, Brit
ain's world power position is now
decaying with frightening speed.
And these processes of deteriora
tion and decay in turn confront
the American policy-makers with
a brutal dilemma, which they
are wishfully seeking to ignore.
statesman
government has to take its licking along with
everybody else."
The Justice Department could better point
seek ai remedy through helpful co-operation
out just what it thinks is wrong with OPS and
rather than attempt to drive it out of business.
Warren and the Oregon Primary
As he was leaving for a ten-day vacation in
Hawaii! Governor Warren of California told a
reporter that he hadn't given specific consid
eration; to entering the Oregon primary (he is
an announced candidate for president), but had
been thinking generally about the primary sit
uation. He said he wouldn't file in Ohio because
that is tTaft's home state, but had been consid
ering entering in Wisconsin.
Governor of a neighboring state, with many
friends i and acquaintances in Oregon, Warren
ought to have his name presented to Oregon
voters if he is serious as a contender for tha
GOP nomination. Assuming the filing of peti
tions for Eisenhower and none for Taft or
Stassen, Warren's name might offer the only
alternate to Ike.
A Klamath potato shipper says the OPS has
double-icrossed everyone with its rollback of
potato prices. He must want to match pennies
on a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose basis: Govern
ment price "props when the market is weak, no
price ceilings, when it is strong. Consumers hop
the rollback will reach to the retail store.
Truce talks at Panmunjom sound like waga
negotiations between the railroads and brother
hoods. Why not submit the controverted issues
to arbitration, leaving the decision to men from
countries like Switzerland, Brazil and India?
Warren and the Oregon Primary
Last 'week one could go from the temperate
zone (Salem) to the sub-arctic (Portland) in
50 miles. Credit old Mount Hood for protecting
the upper valley from the chill winds that blow
down from Canada across Eastern Washington.
Editorial Comment
DR. CONDON REVINDICATED
The election of Dr. Edward U. Condon to the
presidency of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science will meet with the ap
proval of most of the country's scientists. After the
Federation of American Scientists, an Emergency
Committee of Atomic Scientists, of which Dr. Albert
Einstein- and Harold C. Urey were respectively
chairman and vice chairman, a group of university
teachers of law, scores of outstanding scientists and
the Council of the American Physical Society had
voiced their complete confidence in Dr. Condon he
hardly heeded additional vindication. Despite his
protests to the House subcommittee on Un-American
Activities, headed by the discredited J. Parnell
Thomas, Dr. Condon never had a chance to defend
himself in public hearings. Thomas damned him for
subversive activities, largely because convention
required Dr. Condon to meet foreign Communists
in a casual social way on which basis most of our
diplomats ought to be in jail. One bad feature of
the case; was that President Truman had to justify
the endorsement of a refusal of the Department of
Commerce to turn over to Thomas' committee any
information it might have on Condon. Thus began
the clamping down on the dissemination of in
formation against which newspaper men continue
to protest.
The action of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science is not likely to check sus
picious Congressmen from looking over subversive
Government employes under every bed and behind
every tree, but it is a sign of health a salutary
proceeding. (New York Times)
If these processes continue un
checked, what remains of the old
Anglo - American collaboration
most at some point break down;
and the Western alliance will
thus lose its present substitute
for a backbone. Meanwhile, pow
er vacuums will appear, in the
Middle East and other strategic
ally vital regions, where British
'power Is now, so to speak, only
hanging on by the skin of it
teeth. America will be left to
carry the entire burden of West
ern leadership, which is too great
a burden. The power vacuums
will be fiUed bat by Soviet
power. And so the Western alli
ance will come to ruin in the
end.
On the other hand, these loom
ing consequences can still be
avoided most narrowly avoided
by pooling the power and in
fluence and resources of Britain
and America, in the partnership
Churchill desires. The price of
forming this partnership will be
considerable, no doubt. American
aid must be provided, to find
some relatively enduring solution
to Britain's economic problem. A
truly joint European policy, in
volving important d e oartures
from he present British view
point, must somehow be ham
mered out. Other thorny differ
ences of view must somehow be
smoothed away.
But this price, which Secretary
Acheson seemingly does not wish
to pay, will really bay something.
In truth, It will buy survival, fer
America and the British Com
monwealth together and united
will constitute a commanding
combination, that will rally the
weak, reassure the waverers and
deter the aggressors.
It is to be hoped, therefore,
that Winston Churchill's old
magic works again, and that this
opportunity to give real strength
and power to the Western alli
ance which may well be the last
opportunity will not be willfully
lost.

Britain of the oil and profits
from this enterprise. Returns
from the rubber and tin of Ma
laya are diminished by the heavy
outlays in resistance to guerrilla
warfare in the Malay States. The
once-rich China trade has suf
fered great decline. Japan, re
viving as a competitor, is hardly
yet a large customer. Thus, the
outlying ramparts of the old Brit
ish empire are breaking loose,
which leaves the "tight little isle"
of England-Scotland-Wales with
out an adequate economic base
for the 45 million people who try
to live on it.
Dollar transfusions offer no
promise of cure, though they give
a measure of relief. Increased
doses of austerity are hardly suf
ficient of themselves. It is one
of the ironies of history that the
British who fought the Nazi
tyranny the longest and who con
tributed so much to the final vic
tory should find their tables the
most barren after victory was
achieved. Dependent on imports
of footstuffs and raw materials
and on export of manufactured
goods Britain has only for a brief
interval since the war been able
to bring its foreign trade into
balance.
The immediate cause of the
mounting trade deficit is the bur
den of rearmament. Churchill
has admitted that Nye Bevan,
who quit the Attlee cabinet, was
correct in his conclusion that the
armament burden was too heavy
for the convalescing British econ
omy. The Conservative program
is for getting Britain on its feet
through further cuts in imports,
stimulus to greater productivity
and readjustment of the burden
of armament.
Churchill sees a way of short
ening the distance to this goal in
the conclusion of an understand
ing between Russia and the West.
He would like to close his career
with such an achievement. At
Washington, he will with Presi
dent Truman canvass possibilities
for peace as well as a rewriting
of schedules on defense meas
ures. He wants Britain to be
an active partner and a positive
factor in the framing of policies
for the West; and it may well be
that he and his government can
make a great contribution for the
peace.
It is too early to write off Brit
ain as the mere shell of em
pire. It is still the center of
worldwide commerce and fi
nance, of shipping and insur
ance. It has a large industrial
plant, the technical skills for its
operation and the global organi
gation for disposal of its prod
ucts. It has a resourceful people
who have always managed to
muddle through their numerous
difficulties. Not the least valu
able asset is the British trait of
bulldog perseverance which never
admits defeat. Churchill is again
the symbol of a Britain strug
gling against tremendous odds,
and at the moment its hope for
economic revival.

THE "GOLDEN AGE"
To Tthe Editor:
The views expressed in your
column, "It Seems to Me", Sun
day morning, were very interest
ing to me. They are in line with
a remark I often make to my
students, that I think I lived in
the "Golden Age". This was not
with any idea idea that I was
basking in any life of ease the
struggle was tough but I think
there was an atmosphere of op
portunity for those who accepted
the challenge of individual re
sponsibility. There was more
sense of security that one could
build towards stability.
In this line, I remember my
father commenting that he would
not want to return to the times
of his youth. I think he preferred
my age too.
However, I always make the
observation that I cannot say but
what the youth coming on now,
as they get along in years, may
look back and call these present
times their "Golden Age". As you
say, there Is no proof.
Keep up your stimulating brain
storms.

Administration
May Stand by
Brannan Plan
By OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press Farm Reporter
WASHINGTON (JP) Signs are
that the Administration may stand
pat on the government's present
farm program in the approaching
presidential campaign.
These indications point to a pol
icy of sidetracking any controver
sial revisions in the program to
concentrate on the claim that a
Republican victory in 1952 would
endanger existing benefits.
Democratic farm advisers think
this strategy worked well in 1944
and 1948, and that it can be used
again to keep the farmer's vote.
In 1949, the Truman Adminis
tration went all out in favor of a
major revision in federal farm
programs. It warmly advocated a
farm plan advanced by Secretary
of Agriculture Brannan and given
his name. This plan would have
made much greater use of federal
subsidies to maintain agricultural
prosperity.
Stirs Controversy
The Brannan plan stirred up a
lot of controversy. Critics con
tended it would put farmers under
much greater government control
and cost the treasury much more
than current programs.
While not abandoning the goals
of his plan, Brannan last year con
ducted what he called a "grass
roots" survey-described officially
as "the family farm policy review"
to get ideas on how federal pro
grams might better promote the
welfare of family-operated farms.
Bitter Opposition
, The survey, like the Brannan
plan, ran into bitter opposition,
principally from those who had
criticized the secretary's original
proposals.
The effect of Brannan's effort
was to place the Truman Admin
istration and the Democrats in a
position of favoring changes in
programs which had been de
veloped over a period of about 18
years. Many party leaders-including
Chairman Cooley (D-NC) of
the House Agriculture Committee
and Senator Anderson (D-NM.)
former secretary of agriculture
did not like this.
There are indications that Tru
man leaders, including Brannan,
are ready to abandon this position
and fall back to one of defending
existing farm programs.

WEST POINT, N. Y. 0P The
U. S. Military Academy began a
six months sesquicentennial cele

pomp and ceremony tinged by a
note of sadness.
Flags flew at half staff as West
Point greeted dignitaries from all
48 states for the 150th anniver
sary of the Academy's founding.
The mourning was for 19 cadets
killed in the crash of an Air Force
plane against an Arizona moun
tain last week.
Army Secretary Frank Pace Jr.,
led the ceremonies in Washington
Hall with New York's Governor
Thomas E. Dewey making the sal
utatory oration.
The entire cadet corps, now
grown to 2,400 from a class of 10
in 1802, marched in review after
the formal ceremonies.
Dewey, paying tribute, to "the
soldiers who have preferred peace
but never lost a war," called for
quick action to halt aggression in
the Far East.
"It is my deepest hope that our
civilian leaders will move quickly
enough to guarantee the integrity
of the crisis area of Indo-China
and Southeast Asia to prevent an
other Korea there." he said.
"If we wait until the Red Chi
nese monster again invades, it
may again be too late."
The New York governor also
spoke up for universal military
service.
