Among those scheduled to testify before the Reece committee was the president of the American Council on Education. A copy cl.the statement he was to have made has come to our .attention; in it President Arthur S. Adams explains why the Council became involved in the investigation. The Reece com mit tee's research director, Norman Dodd, ap parently based his argument on the follow ing points: , , ' v l.That beginning in 1933, a political rev- '.Win- tnrJr nlar in the United States. SUD- WiWiMV ww Mrm " ' ported by, an overwhelming majority of the electorate, which in some of its manifesta tions 'seems to the research staff to be un American. ' " " " . ... 2. That the approval of this so-called 'rev- ; caution' oy tne electorate resuuea irom uieu indoctrination by the nation's educational in stitutions. V ... -' 3. That the indoctrination was engineered by a closely knit group of national organ iza ; tions, including ' the American Council . on Education. , :. . . Mr. Adams punctures the argument -with some pertinent statistics: Of the U. S. popula tion over 25 years, of age in 1932, roughly 88 per cent of the potential electorate, more . than 60 per cent received hp formal educa tion beyond the eighth jjrade. That means more than half the voters got their schooling before 1920. The council was founded in 1918 . and the various other, educational organiza tions cited were all founded after 191& He adds; "The plain fact is that the schools and colleges of this country do not have the power to achieve mass political indoctrina tion erea if they had the desire to do so. -. . . The only agency In this country capable ' cl xsass political indoctrination if the fed- ' eral government, and even the government could not be- successful by controlling the .' 'schools alone; it would also have to control the pulpit, the press, radio, television, and all tother media of ;-nass communication. Mass indoctrination is, therefore, a theoreti cal as well as a practical impossibility in - America today. It simply does not exist It cannot exist so long as any minority is free i to raise its voice. . . . The alleged conspiracy, iso, u a.ugmeni ox xmiginauon. In a way it is too bad the hearings ended .when they did, and Mr. Adams did not get an opportunity to make that strong defense of the schools and his level-headed statement about political indoctrination. The truth of ; what he says would be a powerful antidote to the, panic that has poisoned so many Americans. No Iron Grip Here . Joe Carson, the Democratic candidate for . governor, has made his maiden statewide radio and TV speech, basing his "it's time for a change" appeal on the premise that -. Oregon has been in "the Iron grip of an en trenched" political system" for 75 years. While it is true that . Oregon has been largely Republican, it is not accurate to say ' that the Republicans have an "iron grip" on " the state when the inference is that the state .lies chained against its will to the 'GOP ma chine. ' . -' ; : The facts are no V sinister, they are simple; Republican voters haVe predominated in Ore-; gon, and Republican voters tend to elec ' Republican officials. ; When the Democratic ticket has offered an outstanding candidate, -those same Republican voters sometimes have voted for the Democratic candidate, as was the case when- Mrs; Edith Green ran. She lost,. but she got a lot of support from both -. sides' ', - . ' That-Oregon voters keep putting Republi- -cans back into office is no proof that the GOP has the voters buff aloedj it is some times merely force of habit, sometimes mere ly apathy, but more often due to the voters' satisfaction with what the GOP officials have done in the past. And it is also in some t cases the fault of the Democrats; when the - Democrat candidates appear to be no better: than the incumbent Republicans, why should the voters take a chance on a change? As ' Democratic voter registrations increase ' in this state, and as the Democratic party per suades its best men to run for public office, 1 ; the two-party system will be stronger in Oregon. - :;i ' t. . Meanwhile, let's not kid the voters with - this "iron grip" stuff; theylre too smart to" suffer any unwanted shackles so long as we continue to have free elections and the secret ballot. 4 ' ' GRIN AND BEAR IT rfr By Lichty I Wbrld MinUS Full-Flcdqod Warfare I H, V.

Welcome, Mr. President ;The announcement that the President will visit Oregon late this summer is Welcome news in the state which contributed much to his nomination and election.

And this time there is a feeling of apprehension . in the air. , ; 7 "Mr. Eisenhower, this trip, is an older, and .wiser man than in the great election. year His job has been unrelentingly hard and he has worked perhaps harder than ever be ,fore, than, even during the war years. If sometimes some of his supporters have been a little disillusioned, the President must also at times have felt disillusioned with his supporters.-'; -, ; ;.. -. That is . why this trip ought to be a good thing for all concerned. The people will be heartened by the appearance of the Presi dent and by his words they say hfs speech is already written.

Last year, the Eisenhower administration actu- ally cut back SAC growth, on the . ground that SAC did not need extra long range air groups. . SAC now mainly relies on its t superb medium rangebomber, the B-47.

Obviously, cut? ting the number of possible sor ties Is just like cutting the num- ber of available aircraft. . The Pentagon ha effectively admitted the danger to our over seas airbases, by giving SAC a biger tanker program, to- in crease air-refuelling ; capacity. 1 But so steps are planned to give SAC more bombers, or to speed real estate convention kick-off breakfast at the Marlon Hotel.
