that Chou En-iai China's foreign minister
; would lit down with Secretary of State John .

States has rejected the overtures demanding
first that Red China release th&jsmaining ,

do last September, and second that China
make a meaningful renunciation of use of
force with respect to Formosa.

China really would negotiate in an earnest

face by having Chou sit on a level with
Dulles and with no intention to conclude a
fair agreement that is something else again.

grimly that Israel must proceed

blood. The proper sharing of the
Jordan waters has already been
planned. Israel will "explore all
avenues to avoid a quarrel."
But, says Ben-Gurion, "if the
Arabs decide to start a fight over
this problem, let them do so if
we cannot get peaceful agree

financial base. A French-German
joint commission will seek to
maintain economic unity for the

The moving purpose of the
statesmen who made the agree
ment was to remove the Saar as a
friction point and to demonstrate
the intent of France and Germany
to live together as "good Euro
peans." This is a noteworthy
achievement, rich with promise
for peace in Western Europe.
For centuries Britain and
France were mortal enemies.
War succeeded war as the two
countries tested their strength on
the ficJd of battle, sometimes for
dvnastic reasons, sometimes in
rivalry for power. Finally they
saw that their interests were mu
tual rather than antagonistic, and
under Edward VII the entente
cordial was signed bringing Bri
tain and France together in an
alliance which stood up through
two great onslaughts by Germany.
It is entirely possible that Ger

the same lesson, that wars drain
their strength to no good end, and
that they should end their strife

ation, a lesson timely in view of
the greater threat from farther
East. The Saar agreement is a
milestone on that road and a
most welcome one.

NEl'BERGER. SMITH AND
THE STATESMAN
To the Edtior:
Your editorial of May 31 sur
prised and disturbed me. This
was the editorial in which you
challenged my criticism of Gov
ernor Elmo Smith's legislative
record, in opposing all three Ore
gon bills to safeguard the civil
and employment rights of persons
of all races and creeds.
Your editorial declared, in ef
fect, that Smith's adverse roll-call
votes on the?' important human
ifsnes were ei lilt!e consequence.
Indeed, you actually. praisrd him
on the basis that it probably took
more "guts" to side with the
legislative minority, rather than
with the legislative majority.
Perhaps the Statesman can en
lighten me as to why Senator
Wayne Morse never receives such
treatment. For example, Senator
Morse has been lambasted hard
by the press for opposing the For
mosa resolutions of the adminis
tration, when he was with a very
small legislative minority. Simi
larly, I do not recall any States
man editorials during the 1AM
Senatorial campaign praising me
for having been one of a minori
ty of only five Sfate Senators to
oppose special loyalty-oaths for
Oregon scohol teachers.
But still more alarming is the
Statesman view that a legislator's
voting record is of scant impor
tance. Why keen roll-call votes
at all, then? What if a Demo
cratic candidate for Governor op
posed all the measures to protect
civil rights? Would the Statesman
be equally lenient nay, equally
complimentary?
, I find that Governor Elmo
Smith, as a State Senator, voted
for a memorial opposing Presi
dent Eisenhower's reciprocal
trade program. He favored can
celling a resolution expressing
mild approval of Atlantic Union.
He voted for teachers' loyalty
oaths. He voted against county
civil service. 1 thought these were
matters on which the Statesman
had strong views, in opposition to
those of Governor Smith. Yet, evi
dently, a voting record does not
matter.
Your editorial suggested that
"voters will do rell, however, to
look at the whole record." What
newspaper in the state has pub
lished the Governor's "whole rec
ord'"' I have seen stories in
abundance about his airplane,
about his proclamations for
"beautiful back" week, etc . hut
no stories about "the whole rec
ord." Perhaps I have missed
such accounts.
Of course the voters should
iudce a candidate on his whole
record. But why. then, are they I
never informed of the voting rec
ords of Republican officeholders
b Oregon press, whose responsi
bility this is? f' -
In conclusion, let me ask the
Statesman a question. What if
Wayne Morse or Dick Neuberger
(Democrats) were to opvwse re
ciprocal trade, to oppose civil
rights, to favor teachers' loya'tv
oaths, to resist legislation for

cases, there is a 35 per cent
chance of recurrence.. ,
Of course, as Alsop (my only
authority) says, it is still quite
reasonable to hope (as we all do
regardless of politics) that Ike has
many years ol active and happy
life ahead of him. But in view of
the facts about Ileitis and Coro
nary Thrombosis I for one wish
tn question and protest against a
statement reported by A. P. from
Chicago and headlined on your'
editorial page: IKE HEAI.THI-!
EST OF CANDIDATES. DOCTOR '
CLAIMS. ,
The doctor quoted I think the !
imu.m optimism' meoicai com
mentator to date on Eisenhower's
condition) is one David Allman,
surgical director of the Atlantic
City hospital. Dr. Allman is des
cribed as a candidate for 1957
president of the A.M.A. which
may account for his sounding off.
In any case, even assuminu
speedy and complete recovery ;
from his operation, it is, I submit '
misleading irresponsible and dan-
gerous for this" man to proclaim!
that, after his recent heart attack, !
Mr. Eisenhower iwho will be!
sixty-six in October) "will be in I
better physical condition than anv '
of his opponents Republican or i
democratic nave been at any
time in their lives!"
To avoid misunderstanding may
I add that, while I have the high
est respect for the medical pro
fession, I naturally do not expect
its practitioners to be unanimous
in opinion or infallible in judg
ment. But I do think we are en
titled to a little more professional
objectivity, realism and restraint
of judgment in the premises; and
a little less wishful thinking,
huckstering quackery and Presi
dential politics than we seem to
have been getting of late.
