Such Language!
Senator Morse's attack on Secretary Hob
by's administration of polio vaccine has
drawn fire at home as well as in Washing
ton. He accused the lady head of the depart
ment of health, education and welfare of
"gross incompetency," of "bad administra
tion that ' borders on immorality," and
charged the department had made a 'hor
rendous mistake" in handling the Salk polio
vaccine. He wants her fired, and now. The
usually temperate Eugene Register-Guard
condemns "such rabble-rousing, headline
hunting diversions as the senator's attack on
Secretary Hobby." And the ordinarily mod
crate Portland Oregonian was so much roiled
it declared: I
" .-
For our part, we consider Senator Morse's
Intemperate charges and demands on the ad
ministrative branch, and particularly his
vicious assault on Mrs. Hobby, outrageous.
His violence can only be interpreted by this
newspaper as evidence that he will use any
weapon even creation of hysteria among .
anxious fathers and mothers' for the pur
poses of self-glorification and fancied polity
cai aavanuge.
The senior senator yields too readily to the
temptation to screech. After all" he should
show more mercy toward the ears of his
auditors. Tearing a passion to tatters may de
feat his own purpose.
The Little Prince ,
Prince Charles, heir-apparent to the throne
of England, is going to have a bit of a tough
time in school, it would seem. Hell go to a
"proper" British school to be "one of the
boys," but at night, hell have tutoring in
special classes constitutional history, royal
etiquette, responsibility, etc. to fit him for
the kingship.
Now only six years old, the prince won't
get too heavy a dose of study until he's 10
we're told. But after 10,-it's probable his
schedule won't be very much envied by any
one. In the meantime, hell go on excursions
with his governess, take part in sports and
games, study the three Rs, follow his, flair
for music and otherwise get a. lot of what
other boys get, only more of it
Decision of the royal couple to send
Charles to school is somewhat of a compro
mise with ancient and modern trends. Youth
ful monarchs-to-be, until recent years, didn't
get to mix much with boys their own age.
Their studying was by tutor only. Now, there
are those who believe the schooling for roy
alty should be the same as for everyone else.
But Charles will have a heavy load some
day and special training certainly seems in
dicated. Elizabeth and Phillip seem to have
done well thus far in charting his course.
State GOP to
Select New
Today
Conrad Paulson and Miss Hat-
tie Bratzel will represent the
Marion County Republican cen
tral comittee today at the GOP
state central committee Portland
meeting at which a new state
chairman is to be named. ,
County Chairman 'Sidney
Scfalesinger said Friday the Mar
ion voting delegates will support'
Wendel Wyttt, Astoria attorney,
for state chairman. Wyatt is ap
parently unopposed for the post
from which Philip Englehart,
Portland, has resigned.
Henry Buehner, Portland at
torney, is unopposed for state
GOP treasurer, the only other
post open. Lawrence Neault
Baker, has resigned.
The meeting will open at 10
ajn. in the Imeprial Hotel. Gov.
Paul Patterson is expected to at
tend and most busines probably
will concern plans for the 1956
campaigns. . .
Small Strawberries Feared as
Result of Rapid Blooming Rate
Something Fishy
- When Tom Sandoz, president of Columbia
River Packers association and bellwether of
commercial fishing interests proposed abol
ishing the two commissions, fish and game,
and putting the whole fish authority in the
hands of one commission he touched off
Charlie Stanton of the Roseburg News-Review,
one of the guardians of sports fishing
interests. He cites , the split of control be
tween the two commissions as due to the fact
that' the" original single commission "refused
recognition" to the sports fishery. He asserts
too that under, the present fish commission
"Oregon's commercial fishery has shown con
tinuing and crtical decline," and imputes that
this commission has been just a stooge for
the commercial interests.
So it looks as though the two commission
deal will continue, though we are not sure
whether either will have many fish to boss
in a few more years of "civilization."
No Charge for Advice
The Corvallis Gazette-Times, which admits
h has "a Republican leaning" (understate- rass
. ment of the week), ventures to comment on
Democratic possibilities for 1956. It gives
the call now to Stevenson if he wants the
presidential nomination, with Averell Harri
man as runner-up, but points ahead to 1960
when some prophets foresee Walter Reuther
heading a Labor-Democratic ticket. Then
Editor Bob Ingalls comes up with this:
If there is no favorite son in the wings
seeking the vice-presidency we might sug
gest that Wayne Morse is an effective speak
er and campaigner. Many Oregonian Republi
cans might be willing to vote for the Demo
cratic ticket just to be rid of Wayne and
most Oregonian liberals drool at the sight of
his bushy eyebrows. This would also vacate
a seat in the Senate for Maurine Neuberger
to have a try at
We are sure the Democrats will appreciate
the G-T's solicitude.

Do Nothing Session?
The Democrats are busy over the state
sowing seed for 1956 and after. The last leg
islative session is the first target, and they
call it a "do-nothing" session. President of
the Senate Elmo Smith gives a hot retort and
catalogs the accomplishments of the session.
Sometimes a better test of a legislative ses
sion is what it didn't do. Surely Senator
Sweetland and Chairman Howard Morgan
aren't going to condemn the 1955 session for
NOT passing a sales tax. Think what a wail
they would have put up had that been done. .

Naturally J. H. VanWinkle, editor of the
Oregon City. Enterprise-Courier who is also
chairman of the state game commission,
would take note of legislation affecting game
administration. He thinks the sportsmen got
'kicked in the teeth by the last legislature
when it passed a law calling for collection of
taxes from lands which the commission may
acquire from the federal government for
wildlife management purposes. Previously
these lands iwere tax exempt and the E-C
thinks it isn't cricket to make them taxable
when they are shifted to another arm of gov
ernment. Maybe the legislature had in mind
raising thfr fee for sports shooting on these
reserves to permit tax payment. Van Winkle
hints a court test on the 1955 act.
On first thought a person might jump to
the conclusion that a trucker strike will help
the railroads. So it will in some respects.
But it will hurt the rails too, for trucks are
needed to haul freight to and from the rail
roads. A general truck tieup might cost the
railroads freight business. If this one lasts
very long we may be able to find out. its
consequence to the rails.
The Grants Pass Courier says: "There is
only one new source of revenue and that is
the sales tax, now employed by all but four
or five states." It is true that the only large
source of untapped revenue for Oregon is a
general sales tax. However, as of Sept. 1,
1954, only 32 of the 48 states were collecting
such a tax.

Farm Editor, The States maa
Strawberry fields around the val
ley are looking very good with a
huge number of blossoms coming
on rapidly during the past few
days. -In
fact one processor's fieldman
said that the blossoms were com
ing on so much more rapidly than
the foliage that some growers were
earing smaller berries as a result
Leaf growth is necessary to con
tribute food to larger berries. An
experiment is being carried out!
in some fields where the plants
are being given extra feedings of
nitrogen in hopes of help the leaf
situation along.
Outlook promlslag
So far, however, the crop out
look gives promise of a better
harvestfble yield than a year ago
when so many of the berries rotted
on the vine because of the continu
ed damp weather at the wrong
time for the berry growers. Some
of the fieldmen report that if the
dry weather of May continues, and
we get a warm late May, the har
vest season may be short and
heavy. Advice is to speak for pick
ers in- plenty of time. Everyone
may want them at the same tune.
Earliest picking, fieldmen agree,
would be around June 10, with
heavy picking not expected to
start until around June 14 or 15.
It is expected, too, that the inter
val between Marshal and Northwest
varieties in ripening, will be cut
considerably shorter than in most
years. The Marshals are usually
several days ahead of the North
west variety.
The strawberry situation is prov
ing that no amount of price fixing
or acreage control ever quite sets
the price pace as well as the
old economic law of supply and
demand. It looks like a 14 to 15
cent market for sometime to come.
Overproduction is not here. The
1954 crop has been sold and there
will be no carryover.
While Oregon growers say they
should have between 18 and 20
cents to "strike it rich," California
reports it can do very well on the
14 or 15 cent price, which to Ore
gon is merely comfortable. But
as previously pointed out Cali
fornia is rapidly increasing straw
berry production. California, which
used to be way down the line in
comparison to Oregon so far as
berry production was concerned, is
now selling as many strawberries
as Oregon and Washington com
bined. So California now calls the
price tune.
Oregoa Production Up
The production situation is sum
med up by one of the larger sales'
organizations thusly: Strawberry
production in early eastern-southern
areas is down 50 per cent Mid
western states are up 15 per cent,
California acreage is up 20 per .
cent Washington up 12 per cent
and Oregon up 13 per cent United
States as a whole is up 12 per cent
But what is more to the point
is that not only California's acre
age is up. Production per acre has
increased even more. Oregon and
Washington are still working to
ward a heavier yield and are
offering prizes to those making tha ;
5-ton strawberry club. California's
average per acre runs three and
our times above Oregon's average.
(Outlook for other berries will be
given Monday morning.)

Lyndon Johnson is no doubt tha
most thoroughly professional Con
gressional leader of our times.
But that's just the trouble. He
clips legislation through so quick
; ly and quietly that nobody no
tices, or even cares very much.
There has not been a single
food loud row, since this session
began. Sometimes one can't help
feeling a certain nostalgia for the
late Joseph R. McCarthy. Mc
Carthy, incidentally, is so sunk
without trace that its hard to be
lieve that be was dominating the
headlines when you left for
abroad. i
But the dizzying chopping and
ehurniogs on the foreign front
have more than made up for the
dullness at home, that is if you
prefer vertiga to tedium. If you
had come straight back from For
mosa about five or six weeks ago,
you would have found the country
in the grips of a tremendous war
. scare. It was only about that long
ago that Admiral Carney was
talking about "war by April 15"
and he was merely voicing the
- most widely held official view,
and had the bad kick to be un
fairly used by our profession.
Now the Far Eastern crisis,
which yoo covered so ably, has
taddenly disappeared from view,
rather the way McCarthy has.
Presumably it w still there, as
preoamably McCarthy is. Bat as
ta Us case, it Is considered tact-
less to mention its existence.

It isn't really over at aO, of
course, as I suspect you may
point out, in your tactless way.
But all concerned seemed to have
agreed that the best policy for
dealing with the Asia crisis is
simply to pretend that H isn't
there any more. If there is any
other policy, I have been unable
to find out what it is.
Now the talk Is an af peace, ta
oar time. The almost instant
aneoas traasltloa from war scar
to peace talk has beea a really
amazing' phenomenon. At first,
after the Rasslans signed the
Aastriaa treaty aad agreed to the

the President aad Mr. Dalles ea
down, there were many warnings,
against expecting miracles. Bat

The Russians hart certainly

The surprises range from the big
surprise of the Austrian treaty to
the very small surprise of a
Russian visa for myself, only a
few weeks after we had been de

"Pravda."
Bat the Rasslans also sprang
