Oregon, aa secand dan matter under act of congress March S, 1S7. Trouble in Trade With the Russians offering to reopen trade with Western Europe, some of our allies, al most desperate for markets, are getting a little bolder in calling the United States to task for reneging on our international agreements. Britain has said, in effect, "Either you play the game according to the rules you yourself set up, or it's every man for himself again." Belgium has gone further. It withdrew the tariff concession granted the U. S. on industrial wax to get even for the American increase of import duty on Belgian hatter's fur. The Belgian retaliatory move won't harm us much; it is real ly just a token slap. But the U. S. can hardly afford to ignore it because we stand accused be fore the world of not practicing what we preach, and we're guilty of the charge. For years now, since the Marshall plan began and before, the tj. S. has been urging Europeans to ease trade restrictions among themselves, ex pounded the virtues and profits of freer trade, and promised to simplify our customs laws. We told Europe that the way of economic salvation was increased, production and sales for dollars. Groups of European businessmen toured , the U. S. to learn advertising, salesmanship, market research. The idea was that if Americans bought enough European goods here, then the Europeans could use the dollars to buy American goods, and the American taxpayers would not have to give away so many dollars to keep our European friends in food and factories. The joker, though, is the American policy of granting protective tariffs to any U. S. industry which hollers that it is being robbed by the competition from European "cheap labor." The Europeans finally discovered that even if they produced, advertised and packaged to meet our approval, they couldn't sell. To them the paradox of U. S. words and deeds ii hardly a joke. So they are protesting. They want to make their own living and stop living on handouts and Uncle's allowances. They are threatening to junk the whole shining universal code of trade laws and revert to the jungle law of survival unless, Michael L. Hoffman says in the New York Times: "The U. S. faces the fact squarely that the world's largest creditor country cannot contin ue to conduct its commercial policy as if it were more important to save the blue cheese Industry than to prevent the spread of chaos and despair in the non-communist world." Or, he might have added, see West Europe turn to Russia and barter its goods for raw ma terials instead of dollars. The China Lobby Oregon's Senator Morse again has called for congressional investigation of the China lobby. His publication in the Congressional Record of pertinent documents and the comprehensive re view of the lobby in the April 15 and 29 issues of The Reporter should touch off a public de mand for the facts on both sides of the China Issue. The existence of a China lobby is not in ques tion. Nor is it a question of whether there ought or ought not to be a China lobby. Every foreign government whose destiny is involved with Uni Victory in Florida Could Give Sen. Kefauver Solid Inside Track for Democrat Nomination By Joseph and Stewart Alsop WASHINGTON - Next week tn Florida, the Democrats will hold their last really important primary - a straight-out test, on Southern soil, between Sen. Richard Rus sell and Sen. Istes Kefauver. r gen. Russell is , solidly backed by the state or--1v ganization, and! "7 if Russell Vins.j if the Kefauver! ' , w boom will be lZT" sharply deflat- - WW ed But, at this writing, the baffled experts quote the odds seven .and if Sen. Kefauver wins, he will be pretty hard to stop. Hence, this is a good time to take a hard look at "this Kefauver thing" as the higher echelon Demo- ! crats peevishly describe the Tennessee Sen ator's grass roots candidacy. From such a look, two points 'unexpectedly e- merge. First and most curious, the Kefauver candidacy has had less high-level professional help than any major political movement since Coxey's army. Very recent ly. Sen. Paul Douglas, of Illi nois, has climbed aboard; while the late Robert Hannegan's as tute henchman, Gael Sullivan, has just taken over the Kefauver national headquarters. But, un til then, Kefauver! only pro fessional assistance was provid ed by the ex-Congressman from New Mexico, Richard Harless, while his most eminent intellec tual advisor was the former chief : of the Justice Department's Anti-Trust Division, Wendell Berge. Althoarh anything- but na tional Omres. Harless, Berge r and the inner crenn mt Tenne-aerana-f or-Kefauver are cap able men. For the rest, Ke- i- if I fauver has rallied such a col lection of ebsenre lame ducks and minor political Ishmaels as would whiten the hair of any conventional-minded po litical manager. Nonetheless, Kefauver clubs have sprung up all over the country, and Kefauver has won primary af ter primary, because of the e vangelistic spirit he somehow arouses. One eminent support er explained! "He's an Institution. That damn ed coons kin cap has done some thing. He has destiny on his side. It really seems like God has put His hand on his shoulder and said 'Go forth young man and be "President.' " Second, neither destiny, nor television, nor bull luck, nor his supporters' notion that Ke fauver is the special pet of the Almighty, is the real ex planation of Kefauver's suc cess so far. The secret lies, in fact, in the man himself. Kefauver is tall, amiable and immensely slow of speech and movement, and is thus account ed stupid by many. He has been independent and is thus held in low esteem by the grandee? of his party. He has occasionaly gone wandering off after some pretty strange ideas and is thus regarded as a lightweight. But there is one thing about Ke fauver which no one can doubt who studies his record. Behind the smile, the public handshak ing and the practiced folksiness, Kefauver conceals real mastery of politics and a great power of cool calculation. His presidential candidacy, for instance, which ha seem ed so spontaneous, was in fact entered upon by a series of careful stages. Kefauver want ed to be sure of his own state's support; and so, last fall, be returned to Tennessee to bush whack through almost every county. Kefauver also wanted finan cial support. This materialized in December, at a large dinner in Nashville, organized by Gov. Gordon Browning and Kefauv er's former administrative assist ant, Charles G. Neece, who is now practicing law in Tennes see, At this dinner, Neece and tatcsmaa ted States policy works for its own best interest in Washington, just as the U. S. lobbies abroad. The Reporter says that the Chinese National ist government, however, is "little but a lobby." The China lobby represents "not a great nation but a .regime playing at being a great power." And that, The Reporter feels, is "radically wrong." Actually, that only means the China lobby is no different from other lobbies repre senting special interests. If it represents an out of-power regime it is no defferent from the lobbies of governments-in-exile during the last war; Chiang is still recognized by the U. S. as the rightful Chinese leader. Great or small, in or out, good or bad every one has a tacit right to try to get a sympathetic hearing in the councils of the mighty. But the American people to whom lobbyists, after all, appeal indirectly and who must pay the bills have an equal right to know who are the lobbyists, how they operate, and what they want. Then Americans may have the opportun ity as well as an obligation to evaluate object ively the information, requests and policies is sued by the lobbies, and act or react accord ingly. The people have not had this opportunity with regard to the China lobby because we don't know enough about it. Congress, usually so eag er to investigate anything so controversial, has n't touched the China lobby. Wayne Morse is do ing a service in urging an airing. The Reporter does a service, too, in publishing its estimate of the China lobby along with a concise review of U. S. -Chinese relations, and a listing of the individuals too many of whom are unsavory involved. The magazine's "ex posure" is necessarily incomplete it does not have subpoena powers but as its editor says, "somebody had to make a start." It's an impressive start a take-off that ought to spark a full investigation to find out how true are The Reporter's reports. Right now, with the Korean truce talks again in the critical stage, Americans wfll be parti cularly interested in the warmongering charges against the China lobby. The Reporter says the Korean war granted Chiang a desperately need ed reprieve and that his last, best hope is total war against international communism started by the U. S. in the shortest possible time. To what extent, then, are the Chiang lobbyists influenc ing our officials in this vital question of war and peace? Another extremely important charge is that the China lobby is largely responsible for the present unhappy state of our foreign service. The lobby's tactics have been to attack state department personnel ("get Acheson") as well as policies, with the result that: "Now foreign service officers have to restrict their acquaintanceship to people who will not seem objectionable. Our foreign service is be coming more and more like Soviet Russia's, which confines itself to telling its masters only what they want to hear. Today, many career diplomats tend to keep their mouths shut or to hedge . . . Under such circumstances correct policy decisions are accidental." Perhaps there is another side. Perhaps the China lobby has a good case to put before the American people. But the necessary prerequisite to such objectivity is a complete set of facts. An investigation is in order. Col. M. M. Bullard, a prosper ous Tennessee business man, formed the nucleus of a group of Kefauver angels. These men 250 Tennesseeans each of whom pledged up to $1,000 apiece provided the original sinews of war, which most people have in nocently supposed the Kefauver movement did not have. Finally, Kefauver wanted a strategy, and this he quite clearly worked out for him self early In January. It was based on two main conclusions, which he reached after mull ing his problem over and talk ing to a number of other friends like Neece, Harless, Berge and Leon Henderson. Conclusion number one was that President Truman probably would not run, and that Tru man's withdrawal would leave an open Democratic race. Conclusion number two was that the great powers of the Democrat Party would never willingly support a Kefauver candidacy and must therefore be forced to do so. From these conclusions ev erything else the funny, humble-bold call on Presi dent Truman, the determined challenge to the President himself in the New Hampshire primary, the subsequent suc cessful primary fights fol lowed entirely logically. The aim was to get out ahead of other contenders and to make Kefauver look like a winner. The results have proved Ke fauver's astuteness. Meanwhile, Kefauver has also disclosed another enviable po litical trait. Consider his simple, good-tempered statement after beating the President in New Hampshire, his amiable but tough attack on Sen. Robert Kerr In Nebraska, his wily approach to a difficult business in Florida. All of them prove that Kefauver knows incomparably well how to handle himself how to say exactly the right thing in exact ly the right way. In short, the candidacy of this man who has gone so far with so little help will become a very serious mat ter indeed if the first phase of his campaign winds up with another victory in Florida. - New York Herald Tribune. In.) SEIZER' Literary Guidepost By W. O. Rogers THE MEMOIRS OF HERBERT HOOVER: THE CABINET AND THE PRESIDENCY 19201933 (Macmillan; $5) The first volume of Hoover's memoirs told of the education of the engineer, the early years of remarkable professional suc cess, the relief job in Belgium. Here our former President has come home again, and for near ly 20 years he was to stay away from Europe. Almost 45, he wanted to resume his business, planned a new home in Califor nia, turned down 64 invitations to speak. But in 17 months he accepted 46 invitations, issued statements .wrote articles, at tended meetings until in March, 1921 he found himself Harding's secretary of commerce. Defeating Smith in 1928, he was inaugurated President in 1929, to serve until F. D. Roose velt beat him in his try for a second term. In these two posts . . . before the New Deal, before the Depression had made its full impact, and before World War II, and so in a world strangely remote from ours today ... he was active in scores of ways, from standardizing the sizes of auto wheels to building Better Homes, from railway mediation to matters of waterways1, radio legislation, conservation, foreign affairs in the Americas, Europe, Asia. Though he comes dramatically up-to-date in throwing new light on Quezon and Osmena, there is a nostalgic quality about other names he mentions . . . Wicker sham, Kellogg, Mellon ("in every instinct a country banker"). Coolidge ("moral courage, "horse sense," "thrift"). He has warm praise for Harding: "I never knew him to give a prom ise that he did not keep," though he remarked on an earlier page, as if merely in passing, that he, Taft, Hughes, Root and others announced to the electorate that a vote for Harding was a vote for the League of Nations "in consequence of personal assur ances from Mr. Harding." If he had stayed in office he believes "we would have quickly overcome the depression," but that subject is reserved for the next volume.

Lottick Sawing Sound Tips Deputies To Escape Try Another attempted break Friday at Marion County jail revived au thorities' longing for a top-floor prison, as in the proposed Court house, rather than the present basement quarters. And It probably made the pris oners hope anew to get farther away from the office of County Treasurer S. J. Butler. For it was Butler who heard hacksaws at work below his office yesterday as has before there and in the old tax office. He heard the noise about 11:30 a.m. and reported to the- sheriffs office. Deputies descended in the early afternoon when reinforce ments were available. They were unable to apprehend the prisoners actually sawing, but found one blade and two halves. Working along the south corri dor, the prisoners had cut a two inch gash in heavy screening out side the bars and were about three-fourths of the way through one bar when discovered. Friday's visiting schedule was cancelled. This is the second attempt of its type within a few weeks. Navy Training Center Toured The Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Training Center here got a May Day inspection Thursday by five Naval officers from the 13th Naval district. During the afternoon the five officers inspected the facilities and administrative staff of the center. Thursday night the officers in spected some of the classes held for the reserves. ing of the Marion County Civil Defense organization. He is a member of the First Presbyterian Church, a number of professional asoclation, and is a 32nd degree Mason. Dr. and Mrs. Lottick have a daughter, Sylvia, a junior In the senior high school, and live at 883 South High St. Lottick is interested In the development of the City of Sa lem as a good place in which to live and work. He believes that he is qualified for the of fice he seeks by his training and experience. He will appreciate your support.
