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.

Hike for Bikes

news for young Joe because it probably will
result in a price increase on the bike he buys.

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

This illustrates the spread of the
'sects.'
Instead of denouncing the frac

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. Dr. Van Dusen
recognizes this as he concludes
with this counsel: "Above all,

larger community of Christ's followers."

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.
