It Is launched boldy as a magazine with a conservative outlook. Al ready the field for librral magazines is pre empted with such publications as The Nation and .New. Republic. The sponsors of National Review offer it as one to challenge the lib eral journals in the literary forum. Editor and publisher is William F. Buckley Jr., author of -God and Man at Yale." He admits that hia will "Be a minority voice, because the current of opinion has been liberal for many decades. He has confidence, however. In "the inherent robustness and truoness of eur position." Listed in the stable, which looks like a carbon from The Freeman, a magazine of imilar Import, are names of those already prominent irj the colony of right wing writers: John Chamberlain, William Henry Chamberlin, Max Eastman, Eugene Lyons, Clarence Manion, J. B. Matthews, John Dos Passes, Freda Utley. In the croup will be recognized abjurers of Communism, who usually awing to the opposite extreme. Well, we read the issue of National Re view and found it quite atcrile. We admit to having grown weary in reading the continu ous gripea of The Nation. We fear the new conservative magazine will prove equally boring. Probably it is a little more difficult to engage and hold attention when the writer is in a posture of defense of the existing order. The rebel writer can always be more dramatic. But still there is a story to tell in behalf of tradition, of established virtues, of freedoms threatened from within or without. To be successful tuch a magazine should draw from freaher literary minds. The curse of dullness and lack 'of originality in thought and expression can be fatal. Elen Chang Hi Cabinet Now Sir Anthony Eden has his own team in the governing cabinet of Britain. He shuf fled seats this week to give him the person nel he wants in key offires. R. A. Butler, Churchill's chancellor of the exchequer, be came in effect deputy premier when ap pointed lord privy seal and leader in the House of Commons. To succeed him Harold Macmillan (of the book publishing family) was moved from the office of foreign secre tary. Sclwyn Lloyd, former minister of state, was made foreign secretary. The moves should strengthen the Eden ministry. Butler has developed as an effec tive parliamentarian which is quite neces sary under the British system of cabinet responsibility to Parliament. Srlwyn Lloyd has had long experience in the foreign office. The writer observed him in action as head of the British delegation to United Nations in 1952. He is skilled in debate and proved his ability to cross verbal swords with the Soviets, npp(j pcnty 0r auchs in this speech, Sneedbyl . . .

Editorial Comment 8AOLE Is it too obvious a comment to say that people don't take Register-Guard recipes with a grain of salt?- Last- week, on - the food pages there appeared a recipe for something 'called frozen egnog pudding. Included in the directions was the admonition to include an eighth of a tea spoon of saole. Now, wondered housewives here, there and everywhere, what the Sam Hill is saole? They called the paper, some of them, and learned that aaole was one of those gremlin-fhvented products that sometimes roll out of linotype machines. The eighth of a teaspoon, ma'am, ought to be salt, said the ladies in our women's department. Soma didn't call the naoer.

George, with 33 years, of service in the U. S. Senate behind him, has announced his candidacy for another term, subject to the Democratic primaries in his state of Georgia. Universally respected for hia ability and character, George holds powerful positions as chairman of the com mittee on foreign affairs and member of the finance committee of the Senate. So highly continental types of association. The former is quite loose the Commonwealth is a good example of its type. The continental style is more legalistic. Little progress has been made along the latter line, but much along the former. He cited first the work of the Office of European Economic Co operation. This was a postwar organization to reduce the harriers for trade among Euro pean nations. It was in parallel with the Marshall plan. While the ultimate goal of convertibility of currency has not been achieved great progress has been made in stimulating commerce among European nations. Second, he referred to the Steel and Coal community. Originally a French inspiration (the Schu mann rtlsnl it riv.lnrvH inin well-knit organization for the pool- 11 'Vejnutual tirustjvhich needs ine of resources and manufacture the need for close association with their allies on the continent. The conclusion offered by Dr. Shotwell was this: while organic union of nations is making little progress, the countries of Western Europe are developing what might be called functional co operation. The British conception of loose association has prevailed over the continental type of tiRht legal tieup and Britain itself has been induced to participate more fully in the affairs of the continent. This suggests that on a wider scale there are possibilities for greater cooperation without the formalities of treaties and con ventions and alliances. The basis is mutual need and mutual trust. The need is everywhere conceded. Hawaii Ready For Statehood, McKay Says Business in the Hawaiian Is- I lands is at a high level and the I islands are better prepared fi nancially for statehood than ever before. Secretary of the In terior Douglas McKay said Wed nesday as he came to Salem aft er a visit to the islands. The secretary spent 10 days in Hawaii inspecting the aad con ferring with government offici als. He and Mrs. McKay will re main in Salem until after New Year's. Miss Alene Phillips, his personal secretary, accompanied the McKays on the trip. "Building development on the islands is amazing and the peo ple there have sound plans for the future." McKay said. McKay said he told the people ot Hawaii that the Republican party will continue to fight for statehood for the islands. The secretary said statehood for Ha waii was lost in the last Congress when the Democrats tied state hood for Alaska into the Hawaiian bill. While in Hawaii Secretarysnd Mrs. McKay were guests at the home of Gov. Samuel Wilder King, the only man with Hawaiian blood ever to serve as governor of the islands. More than 3,000 persons attended a reception for the McKays. McKay said he visited five islands and was flown over the lava flows resulting from erup tions which occurred last Febru ary. These eruptions. McKay declared, destroyed one village and a number of valuable pine apple plantations. The secretary was high in praise of the job being done by officials of Hawaii. ma, s a ASK.

Political 'Regency' Around Eisenhower Laying Plans to Control GOP Convention in the heavy industries of Western Europe. Its headquarters are in Luxembourg and its operations are considorrd as quite success ful. The third Is the Council of Europe, the consultative body' which meets regularly at Stras bourg. This body is not a law making body, but one where rep resentatives of the member pow ers meet to discuss common pro blems. Though Winston Churchill hailed the establishment of the Council, Britain refrained from joining, holding to its old policy of semi-detachment from the con tinent. To illustrate the practical suc cess of the Council. Dr. Shotwell referred to the decision made some months ago by Britain to station four divisions permanently on the continent as its contribu tion to the Western Defense Com munity. This marked a wrench In British policy. In London the explanation given him was that 127 members of Parliament had attended sessions of the Council at Strasbourg at different times and there became convinced of Along this same line one may note another victory in the Coun cil of Europe. Sweden, as is known, refused to Join NATO though its Scandinavian assort ales, Norway and Denmark did. The reason was clear: its posi tion vis-a-vis the USSR is much more exposed. However, it is a member of the Council of Europe and recently Sweden Joined the 14 other members hi signing a communique which laid down three propositions: First, that security for all nations cannot be achieved on the basis of the present division of Europe. Second, that German reunifica tion is necessary, on the basis of free elections. Third, Any new security ar rangement for Europe with the USSR which does not Include this reunification will be inadequate and dangerous. This is of courae the foundation of western policy toward Ger many and Russia. That Sweden endorses it is evidence of Its vliidity and an example of "func tional cooperation" through the Council of Europe.

Dist. Atty. Eugene Venn quoted Hamilton's former wife, Aileen Belle Hamilton, 31, as saying she fired twice at him in self defense. "I shot at his legs," she said, "and missed. He kept coming so I shot again." Venn filed no charge but said he will call a special session of the grand jury to decide whether to do so. According to Mrs. Hamilton her ex-husband Jiad breken into her home several times. Three children were sleeping at the time of the shooting. One of them, Mrs. Hamilton's eight-year- old daughter by a previous mar riage, reported it to the sheriff's office. Mrs. Hamilton was left with the children after the investi gation. It was reported at Klamath Falls that Hamilton was shot in the hip by Mrs. Hamilton in Jan uary, 1964, when he tried to force ! his way into her apartment. At a hearing on that case she testified j that "there were plenty of fire works" while they lived together).! PUC Chief Signs, Telephone Order Public Utilities Commissioner Charles H.

By Jeeeph aad Stewart A Imp ' WASHINGTON - Who compose the political Regency? resident Eisenhower waa never very po litically inclined -anyway, and now he is further in sulated from pol itics by his' ill ness. Who then has charge of his Administration's political strategy. Sen. William Knowland and other like-minded Republic am are constantly saying that "they" are going to be disappointed, if "they" think they can control the Republican party's final choice by delaying the announcement of tat: President's decision aba at ruaning again. Bat was on earth are "they"? The a n i w e r ema to be that "they" tf a somewhat modi fied continuation of the group of men who largely. planned and directed the Presi dent's 1953 campaigns for the nomination and the election. Even in VK2, these men kept ai much as possible in the back ground, tactfully calling them selves the "initial planning com mittee, ai though to indicate the existence of some actually non existent higher body that did the final planning. To others, they were known ai "the Commodore group." because they usually met at the Commodore Hotel in New York City. Tie rtglaal members were Ceveraer Tbeaaaa E.

Dewey, for instance, is no long er Governor, although he still , controls the great bulk of the New York delegates. At least two members of the group, Sen. Carlson and his fellow-Kansan, Darby, have now become de tached from it. Two very im portant additions have been made, in the persons of the Pres ident's Chief of Stiff, Governor : Sherman Adams, ind the Chair man of the Republican National Committee, Len Hal But these mea are "they'.

All the same, the old Commo dore group has now been inform ally re-constituted, with the. changes above-indicated; and if anyone ii now in charge of White House political strategy, then tbey are in charge. Moreover, Sen. Knowland and the other Republicans who do not like the idea of the President choosing his auccessor if he de cides not to run himself, are al together right about what "they" are planning. The Regcncy'i whole eifort, at present, is to eet up the Republican convention in a way that will insure President Eisenhower and his advisors of iron control, whether or no the President is willing to run.

AH sorts of Republrcis 1 ' hopefuls might otherwise be fight ing it out in New Hampshire. . for instance. Instead, most of the New Hampshire delegation will be composed of those like Gov ernor Dwinell, whom the mem bers of the political Regency hive inspired to stand as Eisen hower delegates. Senator Bridg es may have to be allowed to name his fair share of the New Hampshire delegation, but the rest will be responsive to the White House and the Regency, rather than pledged to any one ambitious csndidate.

The difficulty that may arise at that point it suggested by the rule that was adopted when the Commodore group had to choose the Vice Presidential nominee in 18M, It was a simple rule, that anyone who wanted the job him self had to leave the room.
