They can well afford to spend a big pile of dough to win this battle for by the referendum sdone they have saved well over a million dollars in this bienmum. And if they can put over the constitutional amend ment and roll more of the burden on small trucks and passenger cars then they will be re paid into the indefinite -future for their 1952 outlay. ; Joining the Oregon commercial truckers are the teamsters' union," the manufacturers of big trucks and allied interests. They have collected a big war chest. The Oregon Highway Council formed by the truckers Js staffed by a lot of mgn-saiariea personnel. The first big splurge is to be a special section of the Oregon Journal for Sept 28th. This is the letter about it which has gone out to those associated with the industry: , ! Through the American Trucking Association nationally, your own O.M.T.A. and the Oregon Highway Council programs"have been initiated to properly publicize the trucking industry and to obtain a more ready acceptance of the industry by the public at large ... "To further the Oregon public's understanding or our inausiry ana our prooiem, we jiave arraiigeu with the Oregon Journal to pubilsh a special 20 page truck section in their Sunday, September 28th edition. This section will carry advertisements of the various trucking firms and firms in allied in dustries ... as well as complete editorial material selling the importance of the trucking industry to the economy of Oregon ... "This section will appear at the very early stages . of the campaign for our referendum of HB-465 and our; initiative on the constitutional amendment we have proposed. It is our hope that this section will atf as a giant backdrop for the campaign that will break about that tune." , ' Note that this special section is the "giant backdrop" for their political campaign. It will be followed up- presumably with billboards, radio, newspaper advertising, speakers, a but tonhole brigade of workers. The Statesman opposes the truckers in their dual campaign because we believe tneir pro gram would gravely damage the highway pro gram for Oregon or shift unconscionably the burden from the big trucks to other users of the highways. This view is concurred in by. the big majority of friends of the highway program over the state and members of the legislature. We refuse to believe that the Oregon voters are going to be bamboozled by this spread' of propaganda. The outlay of so much money it self will excite suspicion. We are confident the voters of the state, once they understand the Issues, will vote 318 X Yes (the truck tax bill) and 331 X No (constitutional amendment pro hibiting 'present motor transportation fees). ITntriiarrlWI Momnt for Armnrml Car The thief who stole $65,000 from a Brink's , armored car in Washington had only a few hours to indulge in his fancies of wealth. He didn't eet to count his pile, or spend any of it. Like the one-talent man he buried the hoard, only to dig it up for the authorities when they apprehended him. v But what must be embarrassing to the Brink's ofganization is to have their .car entered so deftly. Only the stray recollection by the chief of police of a misloaned guard suit gave the clue which unravelled the mystery. . It was i hours' before the police even got hold of the car that was entered. Coming after the big robbery at Dan vers which was pulled when the armored car .attendants stopped for coffee, one. would think that Brink's would forbid leaving a car. containing funds unguarded. Yet the pair on duty went into the, hotel for lunch.'trusting to the lock on the door to keep their load of cur rency safe. ' Concerns engaged in the transport of money must be under a constant strain. They have to deal not only with faithless employes but with carelessness. It is easy to get a duplicat made for a key; and the holder of one waits only for a favorable opportunity to make a haul and getaway. ; Undoubtedly the operators will tighten up their rules; one man on duty with the car at .-all times; close accounting for keys; frequent changes of locks or combinations. But until they do provide better security for their risk in surance on money carriers will continue high. s I MAYBE.

Wheth er they will head abolt is not clear, but Texas looks like Ike's best bet to break into the Solid South. It will not be easy, even with Shivers and Daniel defecting. Lebanon may be one of President Truman's whistle stops this year. On this visit to Oregon he probably will not repeat the "I like Old Joe" remark he made at Eugene (that "logging camp high in the Cascades") in 1948. Well, Harry's the President and Oregon will give him a cor dial welcome if he comes. aUMU0KMSM Your Health The season for family reunions, outdoor pic nics, and backyard barbecues draws to a close.

The fact remains that in poli tics, communication is the first requirement for success. You can have the best ideas and the most appealing program imaginable. But yen will get nowhere if you cannot explain the ideas and put the program . over.. Judged in these aleak, practical terms. Gen. Dwight D. "Eisenhower's Ameri can Legion speech the true opening gun in his battle for the Presidency was a curiously mixed performance. What one wanted to learn, of course-, was whether Eisenhower had really hit his stride. Here was a a&an who could, in the old days, tndy electrify an audience. Sometimes he would be dealing only ia the pleasing generalities, about -country, home and mother, which army public relations of ficers love to put in the mouths of their masters. But whatever he had to say. Gen. Eisenhower rarely failed to grip and dominate his audience. Bat when the cheering died and becaa ta speak, be somehow appeared shackled. He has never had the practiced political ora tor's trick af building ap climaxes and drawiag eat appUmse. Bat now he almost seemed to throw his points away. It was an effort for him. oae felt; It was a neces sary doty rather than a pleasure, to be there and to tell his story. Occasionally he would lose him self, for a paragraph or two, in what he had ts say; and yea could feel the crowd beginning to re spond and glow. Bat then he would look worried and HI at ease a rain; and the response would die away. Candidate Eisenhower is oprfte the same. He had done his ra speech writing fcr the Afrrt can Legion meeting, and the ad The speech was not a failure, by no means. It told its story of an American exposed to ter rible perils; and it made its ap peal, for an America strong and united, capable of defying any threat. It conveyed Eisenhower's innate largeness and simplicity. It was -almost re-assuring, just because it was so un-artfuL But none the less, the fact had to be faced this speech did net grip or dominate or really electrify an audience that was visibly wait ing and hoping to be swept off its feet Oae saw, ef coarse, the reasons for Eisenhower uneasiness est the platform. When he spoke la mviform. it was a brfniant bat amateur performance a mere inierraptioa ia quite different career. Bat bow he was snddenlr a professional, with every thing de pending en how he performed. Then, too. he was and is a man whose greatest power flows from his sincerity. Yet in these last weeks he has been pulled and hauled from dawn to dusk. He has been asked to make cheap com promises by every Republican politician from Maine to Cali fornia. He has been pleaded with continuously to indulge in the little fDIM AKIH RCAP IT tricks and petty. Iraudlent appeals V111. lu DCMIl II of the suck political operators. And this sudden exposure to the seamy side of politics must have made him doubt whether, after all, it was a strength to be sin cere. This doabt ahoot the valae af his own sincerity Is, plainly, Dwight Eisenhower's real handi cap as he begins bis vital cam paign. Yet the record ef the last tea days amggests that Elsenhower has the tamer tonxhness that he needs badly. In the sphere of domestic pol icy, he has defied the backward lookers, to declare frankly and forthrightly that he means, to re tain and continue the programs that have benefitted great groups of Americans .in these last twenty years. In the sphere of mreign policy, he has defied the venom ous partisans, to be truthful and honest about such grave problems as the Korean war. ' And in the sphere of his relations with his own party, he has defied the un principled extremists, to condemn the character assassins and the witch-hunters. - If be can stick U this line he has chosen if he can resist the teaaptatkai to win easy cheers by telling the extremists minority what they want to bear Dwicht Elsenhower can become a for midable campaigner between now and election day.
