Making McKay a Target
Columnist Marquis Childs had a piece the
ether day laying that the Democrat ara
making Secretaries Benson and McKay their
prime targets. Instead of aiming their r
rowi at Eisenhower, they fire thorn at men in
his cabinet, particularly these two. Brnwn is
attacked because he hasn't maintained the
Incomes of farmers. Doug McKay is under
a drumfire of. criticism for aliened "give
away." First, it was the administration ap
proval of grant of title 1o certain offshore
lands to the states. That had been approved
by Eisenhower before he became President,
but Interior and McKay got the blame be-
cause former Secretary Ickes had raised the
issue which led to the Supreme Court find
ing that the federal interest was "para
mount." Then McKay was attacked beraune of the
partnership power policy of the administra
tion, with the Hells Canyon project, which
Interior dropped, as the main talking point.
In 1954 the patenting of the, Al Serena min
ing claims in Southern Oregon was similarly
charged to McKay as a "giveaway." This
is now the aubject of a congressional inves
tigation which is surcharged with politics.
Latest action of Interior, that opening certain
Wild life refuges to oil prospecting, has drawn .
the crossfire of conservation groups. Secre
tary McKay defends this order as one which
resulted from two years of thorough study
ef the problems relative to leasing on such
areas, and atatei that the regulations assure
maximum protection to wild life refuges.
. With all thia black paint daubed in,
itcXay'a portrait becomes one quite unfa
miliar to hii long-time friends and associates.
They retain full confidence in his integrity.
We can't help but doubt though, if Doug re
alized the hornet's nest he was getting into
when he took this job in Washington. In
terior is one of the departments where the
contention ia greatest because it deals with
valuable resources. The job of the Interior
aeeretary is to conserve and protect the na
tional interest in these resources, but that
should not mean to put them in a perpetual
deep freeze. Maybe Doug didn't put on
enough armor when he itepped into the place
formerly held by the old curmudgeon, Harold
fckes. ...i
rerted or the eauxe of public information and
of tht ends of Justice will be expoted to grave
injury.
It is trua that the Times has been having
a running feud with some of the public of
ficials in North Ernd and with polire depart
ments in North Bend and Coos Hay. But
that is no excu.se' for denying to it informa
tion which the public is entitled to.
Previously the Oregon Newspaper Publish
ers Association through Its manager's office
had agreed to investigate the situation in
Coos Bay. This incident should get its repre

Southern Alameda Goes Modern
A few days ago residents of southern Ala
meda county, California, voted to form a new
city to be named Fremont after the explorer
army officer who figured in the early history
of California. The unique thing about it is
that its'arra of Pfl square miles maks it the
third largest in land size of all the cities of
the state. Los Angeles has 45.0.9 sq. mi., San
Diego 99.4, but Oakland has only 5.1 sq. mi.,
and San Francisco on the tip of the peninsula
with the same name, only 44.8 sq. mi.
One's instinct is to lauch at the preten
sions of Fremont, But as the San Francisco
Chronicle explains the move, it really makes
sense. The new city Is really the consolida-
. . . - f; i i.V v. -J 'c
lion of five towns in ihe district between
Oakland and San JosCj Here is the Chron
icle's explanation:
"Growth forced the five-town merger the
increasing pressure of subdivisions, with
their need for schools, lishting. and utilities.
Rather than see their surroundings grow up
haphazard, without proper zoning controls,
without planned park and recreation areas
or aehool sites, the people of Washington
Township wisely decided to reach out for the
advantages of a unified, self-governing com
munity under the city manager system. They
have an opportunity, which we hope they'll
seize, of planning Fremont for the needs of
tomorrow, rather thin letting its devolpment
follow the cowpathi of yesteryear."
That makes sense. Elsewhere urbanized
communities are struggling 'with the prob
lems of political boundary lines. Proposals
are made for easier means to extend city
limits or for creation of a new urban unit,
the metropolitan area. These California towm
just went modern overnight Without doubt
they will have many growinf pains, but at
least they are spared the usual city-rural-luburban
complication.
Salem and West Salem ihowed the same
good sense in uniting a few yean ago. Many
other cities though, are strangled by thir
own boundary lines. .

Editorial Comment
APOLOGIES TO BALDOCX
At one time, In a discussion of highways with
state highway engineer Sim Baldock, we accused
.him of throwing away money if he spent much
on a new road from Corvillis to Albany.
We told him that we didn't care how good a
road he built from Albany to Portland because
the majority of Corvillis people would still usa
W-W.
Well, Mr. Baldock, we apologize. The new
Wilsonville cutoff is a honey and more and more
people from Corvallis are now going ta Portland
en this route. We don't know what would be the
reaction if you spent the same amount of money
fixing up 99-W as you eventually plan to use on
the Corvallls-Albany, but certainly as of now
going to Portland via Albany is the best route
for Corvallis people. CorviUii Gazette-Times.

Dulles Policy
May Raise
Asians' Fears
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Fereigo News Annlytt-
Instead of raising once again the
specter of nuclear warfare, the
United States might score a deci
sive success In the cold war by
calling the Communist bluff.
The Soviet Union hss retained
the propaganda advantage in this
argument. The position stated by
Communist boss Khrushchev in
India is this: Lacking agreement
to end nuclear weapons tests, the
Russians are forced to continue
experimentation. But the Soviet
Union, he says, stands for outlaw
ing such weapons.
The American reply, as illumi
nated by various statements made
by and attributed to Secretary of
State Dulles, probably will appear
lame to many Asians. In the first
place these statements indicate
that the United States was pre
pared to use nuclear weapons in
Asia. In the second place, they
serve notice that the United States
will continue to test nuclear weapons.
Both these statements are likely
to resurrect the basic feari of the
Asians which were so apparent two
yean ago when the secretary of
state was speaking in terms of
massive retaliation." Moreover.
the secretary has been quoted as
indicating that the United States
is willing, as a means of deterring
the Soviet Union, to bring the
world to tne brink of war and take
the long chance that the world
would not be pushed over that
precipice. This is likely to do little
to calm the fears of the Asians and
other people who dread the pros
pect, soviet propagandists likely
will seize upon the statements.
The Wake-un-America" state
ment endorsed by the President
and the secretary of state Is likely
to be welcomed throughout the
United States as a courageous as
sessment of the condition of the
country in the cold war.
It might have been followed up
most effectively by a frontal as
sault on Soviet propaganda. A
strong statement that the United
States not only oooosed nuclear
warfare but was prepared under
safeguards to end experimentation
with atomic weapons would have
an electrifying effect on world
opinion.
Up to now the Soviet Union's
horror of nuelear wnanon hat
been a matter of words alone.
When the chips are down, Moscow
is likely to be found a poor posi
tion to follow UD tha words with
action. If the United States were
to say: "We are against experi
