The Voter 4-1 - il.i wi r . 4Mm AA mm , iaac nvio uiai ne oiaiciuiau cuuvi tuu im function as the Republican oracle on this occasion, even In his own county. It suggests that other editors who endorsed Hitchcock may feel "let down" for having foolishly followed the lead of The Statesman. ' Well, we credit Oregon editors with a high degree of Intelligence as well as Independ ence. Whatever "let down" they may feel is more apt to come from feeling the voters let Hitchcock and perhaps the party down. As for the "oracle" business we hope our ens of humor is too lively to presume on , such role, for we recall the scorn of Gra tiano In The Merchant of Venice": There are a sort of men who visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond. And do a wilful stillness entertain With purpose to be dress'd in aa opinion Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit; As who would say, 'I am Sir Oracle, ' And wbea I ope my Hps let no dog bark." A veteran editor la not distressed by the barking of dogs, even at his own heels. They idd test to his occupation. Our own head has oft been bloodied in defeat, even in our awn city and county witness fluoridation, county coning ... and "Venus Victorieuse" (see what we're to get In its place)! Fact is, The Statesman's recommendation In the lata primary was not based on any expectation of victory for Hitchcock. We did not sea how,' In his first state-wide race, he could win from McKay, who had proved him self a popular figure. Our endorsement was !;iven for the reasons stated, and was quail ied by the comment that others might judge the situation differently. An editor who merely tries to "pick the winner" may qual ify as soma sort of oracle, but we hope not to become so spineless as to make that a final test of editorial endorsement ' New Interior Secretary - President, Eisenhower found a good man' for secretary of the interior In his own staff at the White House Fred Seaton, Nebraska publisher, former senator from that state, a , strong Elsenhower booster in 1852 and more ' recently a "deputy assistant" on the Presi dent's staff. His predecessor, Douglss McKay, ' has praised the nomination, and so have the : latter's arch foes, Senators Morse and Neu berger, the latter sounding off to claim it a repudiation of the policies of McKay, on the ground that the President passed over Clar ence Davis, the acting secretary, who is also from Nebraska a far-fetched assumption. Seaton is described as a "liberal Republi ' can"; but he endorses the principle of, part nership power development by private and Eublic bodies. He voted against the offshore nds bill, which Eisenhower favored, but supported the St., Lawrence seaway which had the endorsement of the President Seaton has asked Davis to stay on as undersecretary, as former Nebraskans the two must know each other welL , The appointment appears to be a good one. It will be interesting to see whether he is subject to savage attacks as was his prede - cessor. In administering this department with Its power over natural resources you can't keep everyone happy. 4 3MD06 mum (C turned fram pare ) Like the four-minute mile, once a record is broken it seems to crumble. In 1953 Ed mund Hillary of New Zealand and Tensing Norkay his Nepalese guide, reached the sum mit of ML- Everest first men to stand on its summit though many previously had tried to scale the highest peak on the globe and a ' number had lost their lives in the attempt Last week a' party of Swiss mountaineers climbed to the summit twice. This will not make it a common jaunt for a weekend hik ing club, but it does show that the mountain can be conquered given experienced moun taineers with proper equipment and favor able weather conditions. "That government export says we small farmers gotta go Lrm! . , , Says we dont produce surpluses efficiently enough! . . After a visit at the White House and an interview with President Eisenhower Phil Hitchcock, defeated by Douglas McKay in the recent primary, was asked about his own future. He replied that as a Presbyterian he believed in "predestination." For non-Cal-vinists we offer this explanation of that doc trine, as given by an old lady who said she believed; "What's as, is as; and what's going to be is going to be, even if it never comes lit pass." McKay is a Presbyterian, too, and he has confidence in the "predestination" that bell defeat Wayne Morse, who is a Con gregatlonalist presumably is "independent." Be sure to mark June 5 as a red litter . . . er . . . letter day on your calendar. Because for that afternoon Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerficld announces he is, calling a meeting in Washington, D. C, of five nationally known dog experts "to seek assistance in developing a program to re duce the hazard of dog bites for the post office dept's 125,000 letter carriers." Look ing the problem squarely in the teeth, and standing with his back to the wall, Summer field said that American canines, large and small, sank their fangs into nearly 8,000 meaty postmen last year. Three-fourths of these required medical treatment, and mail delivery was delayed . . . VNsw 7 Grants Pass and Medford are only 35 miles apart but the editors of the two dallies are poles apart Editor .Frank Streeter, of the Grants Pass Courier, a survivor of GOP , standpatters, and Editor Bob RhuL of the Medford Mall-Tribune, a free wheeling edi tor wbo strongly supports Sen.' Morse, just never see eye-to-eye on anything political. Now they are la dispute over just what McKay called Morse in the late campaign. Ruhl stited that McKay "often" called Morse aa "unadulterated" liar. Streeter denies It, , say that McKay merely was reading from a Courier editorial which declared that "any one who claims that there was anything lhady about McKay's part in the Al Serena case la a plain, unadulterated liar.'," We will not undertake to settle the controversy but would raise the question of when of when la a liar "adulterated" or "unadulterated." And which la the worse characterization? CoE Arthur M. Sheets, state director of civil defense, back from the mid-Pacific where he witnessed the explosion of the big H-bomb, gave out a very optimistic inter view to the Corvallis Gazette-Times. He de clared that Russia never will be able to pass the free world in the development of nuclear weapons. He expressed high praise for Amer- , lean scientists, ana was- deeply impressed . with the extreme care taken in preparation for the H-bomb testing. Having read so many gloomy articles telling' how fast Russia was catching up with the USA or getting ahead or us, it is rerresning 14 nave mis word from an old soldier that "our side" is doing a pretty good job after alL , . ., Recently the Eugene school board voted to name a grade school after a woman who had been a teacher and principal there for many .years. It was an appropriate recognition of the service of a teacher. In Salem there is one name of a teacher which is well remem bered, that of Margaret Cosper who taught ' here for many yean. She was universally revered, and hundreds of her former pupils now scattered 'round the country, remember her with affection. The school board, which has given the name of Mrs. Faye Wright , long-time member of the board, to an elemen tary school, might well keep Miss Cosper's name in mind for application to a new school. ' Homegrown strawberries are coming on the market, and spite of the hard winter the outlook is for a good crop, unless the weather plans mean tricks. High point of the season in this valley is the Lebanon strawberry fes tival, set for June 14, 15, 16. That is when they feed the multitude from a huge .straw berry shortcake, which according to the Leb anon Express usually weighs more than 5000 pounds cake, berries, ice cream and all. Red berries with thick cream help make life ' in this valley delectable. Sen. John Hounsell of Hood River proposed to the interim committee on taxation a sales tax of two per cent on retail sales, with no exemption for food and medicine. Another proposal has been for a three per cent tax : with such exemptions. If we are going to come to a sales tax (by no means certain) just as well have it apply across the board. It Is a nuisance for store clerks to sort out the non-taxable items in sales, and the pub lic soon gets numb to any tax. The meeting ought to produce some doggone food ideas. Because one of the authorities Is listed as a "dot psychologist.'' The list does aot include, however, any dogs. Which mi; bo a mistake. Because if the committee wants to smell tut any facts on dogs, a long-nosed canine would be Its best bet. One with blunt teeth, of course. We found such a dog leader hero la town and went right out and put the bite on him for aa Interview. He's a fine Irish setter and president of the local chapter of CUR (Canines United in Retaliation) an anti-burglar dog group. He put down his dog biscuit and admitted that, frankly, this mailman thing had his organization up a tree. "Not that we haven't been stumped before," he barked jovially. "What do you dogs have against postmen," we asked. 'They don't taste any better than magazine salesmen or po licemen, do they?" "Well," grinned the setter, "as the dachshunds would say, , It's a long tale. Before any of us can join this anti-burglar organisation we mutt subscribe to the Canine Code, and take the Hypersensitive Oath. This binds ui to bare a fang at ene mies (both animal and human) and to guard with our very lives front yard, back porch and basement windows. And it permits you to only gum your friends. But sometimes the boys are not told the difference between a friendly leg and a hostile foot And that's where the trouble starts . . ." "What's the solution?" we asked. "The average letter carrier has enough trouble with slippery steps, new lawns, rain and soggy bags without having you fellows gnawing away at his shins. And if this gets to Congress no telling what'll happen. You can't fight the post office." "What is needed," said the setter, "is a better under standing between dog and man. A sort of lend-leash spirit of cooperation. A non-aggression pact might help. A padded uniform would help more. Research, even by experts, won't help much. Because we dogs know most of the postman's backgrounds pretty well already. Anyway, whatever the ex perts decide, we all hope it'll be something (as they say in Washington) with teeth in it . .

The project, however, has been tied in by ita originators to the idea of European federation. Following directly on the heels of Euratom organization, If the conferences prove successful, will be a movement to establish a European customs union and a European single market. Both movements will be tied to supra-national authority through the common assembly set up for coal and steel. This body s mem bers are appointed by Individual governments, but work under a charter designed to force them to approach their decisions in a spirit of objective international ism. A few years ago the whole ap proach was considered fantastic. The obstacles, involving not only nationalism but also Europe's an tiquated economic practices, are still gigantic. But for the first time in cen turies Europeans are working on these problems in an atmosphere of goodwill, as against the selfish ness of the past, and things are moving at least a little.

Wilson in his review in the "New Yorker" in 1951 commented that "in general, the writing of the 'Memoirs' ia perfect in concision and clearness, in Ita propriety and purity of language." Again: "TtwM literary aualltlet. w unob- truilv, art IndublUbl. IntftUble vldnr ( a natural nobility 'and (Iimmm of tatta, and th book ran vvi Urant'i dynamic fare and th dlinltnM ol hit pcnonaltto.

Grant's fame as a soldier was dulled somewhat by his reprtation for insobriety and for the scandals that attended his administration as President. Probably the most brilliant part of his military ca reer was his capture of Vicksburg. How, this was accomplished in spite pf the many obstacles enemy occupancy of a strong posi tion on the bluffs of the Mississip pi, difficulty in bringing up sup plies, swampy terrain across the river is one of the very interest ing portions of his Memoirs. After four attempts to get behind Vicks burg, Grant arranged with Ad miral Porter who commanded the river fleet to run downstream past the batteries of Vicksburg. Thus Grant gained a foothold on the east side of the river below Vicksburg. He pushed up behind the city, cut its communications with other Confederate forces and after a short siege forced its surrender by General Pemberton. The remarkable feature of this strategy was that Grant violated one of the common principles of warfare in cutting loose from a base of supplies. He did this over the earnest protest of his sub ordinate, General W. T. Sherman who, in Grant's words, said "that I was putting myself in a posi tion voluntarily which an enemy would be glad to manoeuvre year or a long time to get me in. I was going into the enemey s country, with a large river be hind me and the enemy holding points strongly fortified above and below. Grant rejected the advice (but not the adviser: "To this I reDlled. th country la already disheartened over the lark of auccesa on th part of our armies; the last election went against the vigorous prosecution of the war, vol untary enlistments had c a a d throughout most of th North and conscription was already resorted to, and If w went back so far as Mem phis it would discourage th people so much that bases of auppliea would be of no use; neither men to hold them nor supplies to put In them would be furnished. The problem for us was to mov forward to a deci sive victory, or our caut was lost. No progress waa being mad In any other field, and we had to go on. This shows not only readiness to assume a risk, but a fine per ception of the politics of warfare the immediate need of a vic tory to hearten the North. (Sher man himself followed the Grant example on a bigger scale when he cut loose from Atlanta on his march to the sea, living off the country in a manner that made his name one of reproach in the South for years'. Blind Scribe Back in Office Writing Views NEW YORK -Victor Riesel blinded by an acid thrower eight weeks ago, ia back in his office writing his syndicated labor col umn. . He says his news sources have Increased since the assault, which he and authorities believe was mo tivated by his attacks on racket errs In some labor unions. After his first day back at the 1 Post Hall Syndicate) office Mon day, Riesel said: "I have found a tremendous feel ing of people wanting to help not so much because I got hurt, but a k" of these guys just are sick and tired of being pushed around." Riesel said he has received at least 50,000 letters since an uniden tified, young man threw sulphuric acid in his lace in the early morn ing dark on a mid-Manhattan street April 5. Riesel, who left a hospital last Wednesday, said after his return to the office: "The' thing that pleased me considerably was that I sat down at the typewriter and knocked out the column with just lew typogtaphical errors. South Salem High Graduation Rites Moved Into Gym Location of South Salem High School graduation exercises next Tuesday has been transferred to the school gymnasium to handle a larger crowd, Principal Carl Aschenbrrnn.fr said Tuesday, Time of the exercises, June I Later Grant took command of the Army of the Potomac and forced the surrender of General Lee at Appomatox courthouse. There his deep humanity was manifest. He let officers retain their swords, let soldiers take their horses home for the spring plowing. As Wilsori says, "Grant was doing his best to carry out the Lincolnian principle of no bit terness and no reprisals.'1 That same touch of understanding marked his order after the sur render of Vicksburg; "Paroled prlsonera will be aent out of here tomorrow . . . Instruct the rommands to be orderly and quiet as these prisoners pass, to make no of fensive remarks, and to harbor any who fall out of ranks after they have passed." And at Appomatox, his feelings as he describes them in his Mem oirs were "sad and depressed. I felt like anything rather than re joicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and vali antly, and had suffered so much for a cause. Perhaps in these days when the South feels aggrieved because some of its long cherished opin ions have been condemned and the custom growing out of them declared illegal, we need to gt- something of the spirit of r ant and of Lincoln, a bit of toler ance in point of time at loast for the modification of old views and old practices. Grant7s "Per sonal Memoirs," written while he was dying of cancer, without the benefit of the ghost writers who have been at the elbows of our later day commander-writers of memoirs, is well worth read ing today, not only for its valuable history but for its literary quality whose chronicle of events is told so tersely that the flow of the narrative grips the reader. Solon Asks Billion Dollar A-Aid Abroad PHILADELPHIA -Sen. Clin ton P. Anderson D-NM, chair man of the joint Congressional committee on atomic energy, Tues day suggested a billion-dollar five year atomic program, among "the uncommitted peoples of the earth." Addressing the 168th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., Anderson said "to these friendly lands and to the uncommitted peoples of the earth I would send the evidences of our purpose to use the atom for peace, not just the nuclear fuel which the President has al ready promised, but the vessels in which it Is to burn." He added "Russia will build an atomic plant in East Grmany, is pushing atomic development in Red China has her eyes on Egypt and will undoubtedly expand her atomic penetration whenever and where- ever the chance may come," In those countries, under Ander son's suggested program, the U. S. should test the most promising types of reactors, "revise and re work them under actual operating conditions and thus have them ready for use at home when the cost of their electricity became competitive with the energy we now have in abundance. "Such a program." he said, "would cost us aa a nation a bil lion dollars in five years, a large sum to be sure, but only a small part of what is now contemplated in military aid. , I think it would pay far greater dividends both In security and satisfaction. Actually, the House of Representatives seems to feel that the cost of foreign aid might be cut a billion dollars this year, enough for the whole program of international atomic aid.
