The Cain Mutiny Harry Cain, the one-time flannel-mouth , senator from Washington, McCarthy backer and supporter of Bob Taft for President, was ripmed by President Eisenhower to of all places the Subversive Activities Control Board, when he got beat for reelection in 152. On this job Cain has undergone a po litical regeneration. How his outspoken con demnation of the country's security program brought him into collision with tophands in the administration is told by L. Edgar Prina In the current Collier's. - Sherm Adams, who is Ike's right-hand man, called him in and gave him "unshirted made in Spokane last January when he set loose his first blast against the way the gov ernment was witph-hunting for security. He followed this up with other speeches and got calls from Herb Brownell, attorney general, who scolded him for scolding Brownell's book on subversives. Both Brownell and Adams lowered the boom on Cain, claiming he hadn't worked on the "team," that if he wanted to criticise he should resign and then talk. Cain didn't stop talking and he didn't resign. Whether he will be reappointed in 1956 is one of the unknown quantities in politics. f One can understand the "team work" idea. After all the administration can't have every appointee riding off in his own direction. But what Cain said, needed to be said. So far his argument hasn't been successfully re futed. His-"mutiny on the bounty" was needed. His campaign has brought him ap proving comments from three justices of the Supreme Court and from many others. Cain explains his change of heart on the stories he learned from run-of-mill government em ployes who were being harrassed unfairly by the security traps. Always erratic, it is not surprising that Cain swung the tiller hard over when he decided to change course. ) Usually m lame duck senator who takes an appointive job sinks into obscurity. By his revolt Cain has at least restored his name to the political marquee lights. Slow Pace in Politics The Oregon City Enterprise takes up the refrain.! "Where are the candidates for the Republican primary?" It regards State Treasurer Unander as a surety for the nom ination to succeed himself, but notes singular Hence as to candidates for other offices, such as Secretary of State and party offices such as national committeeman and commit teewoman. The Enterprise does toss out some names j as Democratic . candidates:- Bob Thornton to seek reelection as Attorney Gen eral;.Sen. Harry Boivin of Klama'th Falls to oppose Al Ullman for the Democratic nom ination for Congress in the second district; Sen. Bob Holmes of Astoria for congress man in the first district where he would compete with Walter Norblad, incumbent, former Astorian. Mrs. Edith Green is ratei a certain candidate for reelection, but the En terprise notes no Republican being mentioned as her opponent. The Oregon City paper says there are rumors that Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Milwaukie publisher and Dem ocratic National committeeman, may seek Howard Morgan's post as state chairman. Silence may be golden, but all the polit ical 'talk one hears is on how to beat Morse, or who is there to do the job. Other offices seem to; go begging. Rails Order Freight Cars Railroads in many parts of the country have been short of freight cars to handle promptly all the business offered. Announce ments are made of purchases of new cars, but it takes months for them to be manu factured, so they will do nothing to relieve the present shortage. It looks as though railroad managers lack optimism as far as purchases of freight cars is concerned. In the intervals when empties pile up on sidings for lack of freight to haul the managers get discouraged, and think business is going to pot. Then when it re-, vives as it always does, they are caught short. They are more long-sighted on other im Droveraents like change of grades or con struction of "hump" yards. They should show ms the same optimism about the luture in xneir ordering ot freight cars, where factors of wrecks and obsolescence can be rather closely figured.! Buying in dull times takes some courage and cash, but prudently done should pay off well when there is business to handle. - - ' V.W.V.'iv.V. .V.VI.VAWA" .-. '.vww .W.vjviwS Liferary Guidepost By W.

Editorial Comment WHAT YOU MISS ON FAST BY-PASSES These fine, modern roads by-passing the towns, are a great convenience to people on business trips who need to save time. The tourist, how ever, and everybody else who really wants to see something on his trip instead of merely getting to a given destination (perhaps) in the least possible time, would often do well to take the old road that takes him past a lot of things he ought to see. We note that the Salem Chamber of Commerce is putting up billboards to remind the traveler that there's something to see in Salem. The Salem by-pass gives a distant view of the state penitentiary and the state hospital, but the old route through town offers a chance to see, closeup, what is often termed the most beautiful ' state capitol group in the United States. The other day, with the Wilsonville cut-off to Port land closed to permit construction work, we were surprised to find how attractive, after all, was the old route through Canby and Oregon City and Gladstone. We can't have everything. The by-passes gain time for you, perhaps, but if you're a tourist, the old roads are better. This, of course, does not mean that the old roads, in spite of higher scenic values and access to such attractive groups as the Salem capitol group, will be chosen by all the tourists. The fellow who will report on a long trip by telling you he averaged 65 miles an hour all day long is not going to be attracted by any road that doesn't encourage top speed.

Dr. Van Dusen discovered that the housemaid where he and his wife stopped at one point had been brought up as a Roman Catholic, had attended a Meth odist school- and was going in casual rotation to services of five or six of the "fringe sects." This illustrates the spread of the 'sects.' Instead of denouncing the frac tionizing of the Christian church which might be expected from one so strong an advocate of the ecumenical (unified) Christian church. Dr. Van Dusen urges on those of the older faiths "to come to know, to come to understand, to come to respect and to love these fellow Christians." That is evidence pf Christian charity. But it does not justify the atomiza tion of the Christian church which weakens its power and dis tracts and confuses those who profess the faith.

By JOSEPH ALS0P WASHINGTON With the help of the convenient cloak of official secrecy, a really danger ous confidence trick is being played on this country by the present leadership at the Pentagon. V It is a simple trick. High offi cials piously declare that the 'American lead in such fields as aircraft and missile develop ment can never b e challenged by the wretched and uncultured Russians. Ev-ery-one likes to believe that there is ah Am erican lead. The hard facts of Soviet technical progress are heavily classified.. $c none but the closest students of the problem doubt the offi cial claims. But in fact the official claims are falser and what if more they are consciously false, unless the Pentagon leaders have persuad a themselves not to credit the bard and disagreeable facts pre rented to them by the American intelligence. - As an example of the kind of nature-faking that is cur rently going on, the real story of the satellite was just reveal ed in this space. The American decision to build a small earth satellite was presented to the country as one-more proof of the "American lead" In fact, It was a proof of the American lag. The dedsioa was take be . cause the policy makers had keea waraea that the Soviets ' were already boil ding a larger aad aaore militarily dgaificaat earth satellite thaa that aew planned ia this country; aad be cause there were indications that the Kremlia shortly latead td to announce this fact te the wtrld. ' The Soviet lead in the satel lite race may perhaps be con cealed from the country by the American policy-makers' forced choice of a satellite type which has the useful virtues of being relatively cheap and easy to build. Bat publicity techniques will, sot work forever. Consider, for example, the following balance sheet ( the state of the loag range guided missile program in. this country and the Soviet L'nion. I First, the Soviets set up a Manhattan District-style organi zation to press gu'ded missile development immediately after the war; and this organization , has been working full blast, with top-priority call on men and materiel, ever since that moment They started with more Russian and captured German scientists experienced in rocketry than we had. While General Electric was building one Chinese copy of a German V-2. the Soviets were producing 1.000 improved models in the CkRtured V2 factory in East Germany. In short, they took the lead at the start Second, hard intelligence was received at least a year ago that the Soviets had succesfnlly de signed and produced a aew rocket motor, the M l 02, with the enormous thrust of 264,000 pounds per second at sea leveL The actual design aad produc tion of the M 102 had occurred considerably more thaa a year ago. This clearly indicated a Soviet lead ia high-powered rocket engine design. Third, it is now acepted as quite certain that the Soviets have also designed and produe en a two-stage rocket, with the M 102 engine powering the first or take-off stage, with the very great range of about 1,500 miles. Such a rocket represents the last step but one before the successful .design nd produc tion of the ultimate weapon, the inter-continental ballistic mis- tile or staged rocket that can strike from continent to con tinent. We do not seem to have reached this last but one step. Fourth, desipte all the evi dences of Soviet progress ia the most important of all de velopment fields, the American long-range missile program is still organized on a strictly buaineai-as-usual basis. The job to be done is as vast and complex as the job that was done by the Manhattan Dis trict At the end of the war, Los Alamos Laboratory, the great synthetic brain that di rected the Manhattan District, had 4,000 scientists at work behind its guarded fences. The directing brain of our long range guided missile projects now consists of the headquar ters of an Air Force brigadier general, staffed with 100 per sons including clerks, plus the staff of a scientific-industrial corporation, the Ramo-Wool-ridge company, plus a chief sci entist. Dr. John Von Neumann, who has to double in brass as an Atomic Energy Commission- Furthermore, a ferocious struggle is now going on within the Pentagon about whether an additional $200 millions will or will ' not be provided, next year, to speed up the long range missile program. The Air Force authorities who have the grave responsibilities pf long range missile development are pleading for the money on their knees. Tne chances are they will not get more than half of it, if as much as that. Maybe it is tiresome to keep har ping-on the acute danger of this sort of situation. Maybe the able new Secretary of the Air Force, Donald Quarles, will be able to take the annronn-i ate corrective steps. But until corrective steps have been tak en, the claim of an "American lead" ought not to be made again. , (Copyrifht IMS. Ntw York Htrald Tnbuna. Inc.) 40 Years Ago !
