Douglat McKay -is due back in the etate
today to launch hit campaign to defeat Sn.
Wayne L. Morse. Wt Join with othert in wel
comlng home distinguished fellow citizen
and hit gracious wife. But Th Statesman
wants to make it plain that it cast iti en
dowment for his Jtrpublicin opponent, Phil
Hitchcock. ,
, . Thil it a crUli year for Oregon Republi
cans. Since 1838 they hava enjoyed predom
inance in atata attain and until the 1934
elcctlont held a majority of the congressional
delegation from thil state. The defection of
Horse, the" flection of Richard Neuberger to .
the Senate and of Mrs. Edith Green to the
House from the third district have proven
t serious threat to Republican control of tnia"
state.
In this preiidential election year, many
Important offices are at stake: On U. S.
senatonhip, all the congressional teats, all
positions on the state board of control (gov
ernor, secretary of state, state treasurer),
attorney general, si well as control of tha
Legislative Assembly. Republicans, too, are
confronted, with a rejuvenated and rather
cocky Democratic Party which is fielding
persons of standing and capacity on its team
of candidates. Republican lead in registra
tion is down to a few thousand so that Re
publican candidates can no longer rely on a
comfortable party majority. The future for
the Republicans in Oregon depends in con
siderable degree on what the party is able
to accomplish in this year's elections.
After the disastrous 1934 campaign, The
Statesman came to the ronduiion that the
republican Party in Oregon needs fresh and
eressiv leadership. That is why it wel
comes the candidacy of Phil Hitchcock, for
mer state senator from Klamath, Crook, Des
chutes, Jefferson and Lake counties, more re- .'
cp ntly a member of the administrative staff ,
of Lewis and Clark college, Portland.
The surprise entry of Doug McKay into
the senatorial race has not changed our opin
ion. That was his privilege, but the circum- '
stances attending his candidacy have been
disturbing. Over his oft-expressed deter
mination not to run for office, he was pres
sured into running by top political brass in
Washington, The ostensible reason was to .
eortpass the defeat of Morse who stands out
as COP "enemy No. one." The Statesman
questions the wisdom of this decision.
If McKay is the party nominee, then the
race is sure to become pretty much a re-
match of the contest for senator, with ,
the principals slugging it out rather than the '
"seconds." The fighting will be on the old
batjleground, with verbal artillery fire In-;
terrified, as each seeks to draw from Its ar
senal the "ultimate weapon." A rematch may
appeal to one's sporting instinct, but we
doubt if it provei edifying to the voters and
usually the challenger loses.
A rehash of old slogans "giveaway," Hells .,
Canyon, Al Serena," Morse's party treason,
backing up Eisenhower carries little or no.
appeal to voters outside the hard core of par
tisans.' The Republican senatorial candidate
will need to win considerable group of
those on whom party harness sits lightly to ,
offset the loss to Morse of nominal Republi
cans who are caught in the spell of his voice. -In
(he opinion of this newspaoer, Phil Hitch
cook can do this better than McKay.
$ut the primary reason why The States
man throws its full support to Hitchcock is
that he carries the potential of high states
manship which we like to attach to a United
States senator. A man of fine intelligence, '
of intellectual depth, with clear grup of
political ls.nie, Hitrtuw k displayed as mem
ber of the atate si-nate ability well above the
average. As public speaker and debater he
Is fluent, logical and persuasive. He was a
recognized leader In the Senate and fought
and won many hard Icglnlutlve battles.
Moreover, Hitchcock has a consistent and
sound philosophy of government. A loyal
Republican (he was the party's most aetive
campaign speaker In 1934, and was this year ,
elected president of the Multnomah county
Republican Club), he is alert to progressive
ideas in government. On such critical Is
sues at civil rights and fair relations between
labor and management he has taken posi
tions which are soundly liberal He hat
strongly supported the assumption by the
United States of its full responsibility In in
. ternationsl relations. He is that rare Individ
' ual, something of an Idealist who la at the
tame time very practical ,.
Hitchcock's handicap is that he it not to
well known ovrr the state as either McKay
or Morse. But where he is known he is most
favorably regarded. If he can get over the
hurdle of the primary1, we predict he will
sweep on to victory In the fall. If he Is elect
. ed, we predict he will quickly rise to a posi
tion of influmce and leadership in what it
still regarded as the greatest deliberative
body on earth.
' The Statesman has supported Doug McKay
In all his previous campaigns for public oi- ,
fice. It has come to his defense against num-
' eroua charges thrown at him at secretary of
the interior.' Our counsel to him, however,
was to adhere to his decision not to run for
Senator. In the present crisis' year for Re-
publicans, Tbe Statesman favors the nomina
tion and election of Phil Hitchcock for United
Statei Senator. ' . "
HORNS OF'PCENTY
Trial at Jakarta
' A trial that hat been going on for over a
"year in far-off Jakarta, capital of the new
Republic of Indonesia, has attracted world
wide attention, chiefly through the publicity
given it by the information bureau of The
Netherlands.. The defendant, Leon Jung
. schlaeger, is a Hollander who was head of
the Dutch Intelligence Service in Indonesia
just after the last war. In this job it wat
hit duty to ferret out conspirator! against the
colonial government Later Indonesia was
given its independence. Jungschlaeger, who
returned to Jakarta to represent a Dutch
shipping firm, was arrested along with other
Dutchmen and charged with conspiracy to
overthrow the republic.
What has roused the resentment of the
' western world is the fact that all standards
of judicial procedure have been thrown out
tne window. The judge is not a lawyer. The
accused has been denied the benefit of legal
counsel has only his wife to stand by to
plead his cause. Evidence grotesquely incon
sistent has been introduced. Recently the In
ternational Commission of Jurists after
studying the record declared it was "abun
' dantly clear" that Jungschlaeger is not get
. ting a fair trial. Americans are taking in in
terest, partly because the accused's son it
a naturalized American citizen, serving in
the Army. ' .
. Whether the indignation of the outside
'world will halt the perversion of justice in
. Indonesia in this case is hard to tell What
' the case illustrates is the immaturity of many
of these newly emerged nations. Their zeal
, for independence it. pot matched with ca
pacity for self-government Eventually they
will grow up unless they are gobbled up by
some ambitious and powerful country or
succumb to indigenous dictatorship but in
the meantime they not only do injustice at
home they may act Irresponsibly in Interna
tional affairs.

asserts it It fighting for a prin

still must withstand punches from

federal highwsy program at all,
even though most lobbies approve
the Idea of an expended highway
program.
In that class fall the railroads
that say Uncle Sam's roads will
help their trucking competitors.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
eration wants the states to build
roads with the fuel taxet cur
rently going into the federal
Treasury.
Much of the defense from the
lobby attacks will come from the
Eisenhower Administration and
grass roots support hsrnessed by
such groups as the American
Municipal Assn. President Eisen
hower says the highway program
is vital to the nation. The Amer
ican Municipal Assn. has held
meetings in cities in the East,
Midwest and South to whip up
enthusiasm for the road program.
The lawmakers in this election,
year will try to find a way through '
the controversy. But several of
the lobbies are set to keep up
the fighting until the last minute.
