New Organization for '
Fiah, Wildlife ; .;t
An announcement that the Department of
the Interior would iplit commercial fisheriei
off from the fish, and wildlife service pro
voked wch a protest from the wildlife people
that this step may not be taken, pending pos
sible action by Congress on a pending bill.
The Senate passed a bill to set up a fisheries
division, but the House amended it to substi
tute its own typeiof reorgsnization. This
would set up the office of assistant secretary
for fisheries and wildlife in the Interior de ,
partment, and the office of commissioner of
fish and wildlife. The fish and wildlife service
would be divided into two bureaus, one for
commercial fisheries, the other for wildlife.
The commercial fisheries bureau would
deal with matters relating primarily to fish,
fisheries and whales. The wildlife buresu .
would hsndle matters relating primarily to
migratory birds, game management, wildlife
refuges, game fish, sea mammals (except
Whales). Thus fish and wildlife would be sep
arated about the way as in Oregon with its fish
commission, and game commission.
We have not seen whether the Senate
agreed to the amended bill as it came back
from the House, but it looks as though this is
the administrative organization which will be
established. The assistant secretary' and the
commissioner of fish and wildlife would have
the duty to settle conflicts that may arise be
tween the commercial fisheries and the game
fish and wildlife People.
Federal Plan. -
While Oregon will not vote this year on a
federal plan of apportionment for its state
legislature (one senator for each county) the
Idea survives and its promoters will continue
to urge it Attaching the adjective "federal"
to the plan is Intended to give it a measure of
blessing. It carries the assumption of. virtue
in the plan adopted by the constitutional con
vention In 1787, which based representation
In the lower house on population and in the
upper by states, two senators to a state. This
was one of the famous compromises achieved
In the convention without which it is doubtful
If the convention would have agreed on a con
stitution that the states would have accepted.
It is true that the United States has flour
ished under its constitution. But the appor
tionment of two senators to a state is not with
out its faults. It does give to small states a
very large voice in national legislation. Some
times these states use their power for nar
row, provincial purposes. A good illustration
of this comes in the vote in the Senate on a
bill directing the government to buy 660,000,
000 tons of domestic manganese at a cost of
some $69,000,000. Who were the backers of
this bill? Senators Malone of Nevada, Gold
water of Arizona and Mansfield of Montana,
all representing thinly populated states with
substantial mining interests. Other lawmak
ers from western mining states joined them
in defending the purchase program.
The argument for the bill was that manga
nese is vital to the steel industry, and that this
country should not be dependent on foreign
manganese. What the legislation amounts to
is a subsidy to domestic producers. National
defense thus cloaks the local advantage which
the mining states senators pressed for.
We have no doubt that our stockpile of
manganese is substantial, as much as we re
quire on the basis of security.' The treasury
is being taken for a ride for a subsidv for the
mining interests, just as it was in FDR's time
with the silver purchase act. We cite the mat- rmmmMmM9-mmmmmmrmm
ter as an illustration of how the much-lauded TrmJ.;n If.V.
"feder?! plan" of senatorial apportionment at n asningion iUtrrur
times works to the injury of the wb-try.

f 'Moby Dick in 31oviea, :
Herman Melville's great novel "Moby Dick"
has shows remarkable power of survival, '
perhaps resurrection is a better word than
survival, for this great novel of the sea and of
men and whales was rated a near-failure when
it was published in 1851. It was rediscovered ' '
along in the 1920s and since then has risen
fcigh in esteem of literary critics. It is not
fnerely a gripping story of whaling, but a rev
elation also of human psychology. Melville
himself his become the subject for a great
deal of interpretive writing.
So there is widespread interest in a 'new
movie of "Moby Dick" directed by John Hus
ton, which is opening now in a number of cit
iesi Gregory Peck li the obsessed, "Captain
Ahab" whose driving passion' is to run down
and kill the great white whale. Orson Welles,
as a parson, speaks briefly and ominously
(this strip was shown on Ed Sullivan's show
recently). The whaler "Pequod" is built to
type and the great whale itself is a mechanical
monster which is described as a terrifying and : .
almost incredible creation.'
Another." film to be-welcomed - when it
reaches these parti is "The King and I,"
adapted from the famous stage musicals by
Kodgers and Hamilton. Yul Brynner who cap ,
ried the "king" role In the original produc
tion, has the same part in the movie. The ,
English schoolteacher who comes to instruct
the children of the royal household, is played
by Deborah Kerr.
Sales of U. S. savings bonds in Marion
county the first six months of 1956 were II,

of the quota which George W. Mimmaugh,
state director, set for us to shoot at. The state
total is a little less than that, standing at 43.3
per cent Money has been on the tight side

Editorial Comment
. ELECTION IN JAPAN THE LONG VIEW
Do Socialist I a ins in the Japanese upper-hous
elections spell a setback for United States policy
in the Far East?
In the short-range view they do, for they post
pone Japan's (ormal rearmament for at least three
years. But the long-range results could be bene
ficial If the election is taken as a warning.
, To the United States the election served notice
that feeling against rearmament is still strong in
Japan, and that Japan's present self-defense (orce
of 183,551 men is about all the contribution the
island nation can Je expected to make to the free
world's forces In the Far East for some years to
come. ..
To the Japanese themselves the Socialist gains
were Impressive. They meant that if present trends
continued the Socialists might soon be in a position
to challenge the conservative forces' nine-year hold
on the government. (The Socialists won J7.S per
cent of the pcpular vote and now hold 83 seats in
the 250-seat upper house, compared to U seats
before.)
But the conservative Liberal-Democrats still hold
a comfortable majority in both the upper and
lower houses of the Diet Parliament). And their
basic alignment with the West in general and with
the United States in particular will continue, for
H is an alignment that is as much economic as it
Is political. .
Within the framework of that basic attachment,
however, emphasis will probably shift from a rigid
defense posture against the Communist bloc to a
more flexible policy permitting various degrees of
economic interchange with Moscow and Peking.
In the light of the Communist bloc's apparently
successful shift from direct military threats to eco
nomic and political' blandishments, particularly in
Asia, there are indications that Washington has
begun to rethink its defense posture in East Asia.
The results of that rethinking may not become
apparent until after the November elections.
But If the Tokyo election results help the process
of this rethinking by indicating popular trends in
one more Asian country, in the long run they may
prove to ha,iad a healthy elfect.

WASHINGTON - One of the

big turnout was that "it's not

Two Illnesses Paradoxically Increasing
Eisenhower's Desire to Remain President
St
- By STEWART ALSOP
"' GETTYSBURG When Presi
dent Eisenhower stepped out of
his ear hare the other day, the
small crowd of reporters and
other onlookers craned forward
With eager, somewhat morbid
curiosity. For it was the first
time the President had been
seen, except by intimates, aince
be left the hospital, and every
one was anxious to see how h
looked. '
T As one might have expected,
ke looked like what he is a
vigorous man in his sixties, who
Baa had two ser
ious illnesses In
nine months, and
who has not yet
recovered from
the second. The
Presldtnt, In
otherwords,
looks very well,

thing to consider, and the Presi
dent certainly, does 'not look
nuite as spry and youthful as
l is more enthusiastic support
ers like to imagine.
And yet there ia a sort of
flow about him, an indefinable
effulgence. It ia not simply the
Eisenhower flew, which he
has always had. It is the Presl.
dential glow, which he has only
rsther recently acquired, a
r' ysical, communicable sense
oi immense power concentrated,
M one man, so that he seems,,
iomehow, larger than life.
! All Presidents get the presl.
f ntial glow sooner or later.
1 ranklin D. Roosevelt emitted
positively startling efful-
nre, and even that humble
quired a glow of authority in
his second term. At an; rate,
President Eisenhower's Presi
dential glow has a certain sig
nificance. The Democrats' favorite ver
sion af the President's twlre re
. peated decision to run despite
serious Illness Is simple and
sinister. The President, se the
line goes, has keen the victim
f a "anew Job." He Is an ami
able bnl axlag and ailing man,
trapped lata ranalng against
his will by ruthless politicians
and big baslnessmea, deter
mined te ne hint far their own
purposes. Is there anv truth In
this version ef events?
There are always shades ot
truth and untruth in such mat
ters. But the shrewdest observ
ers are coming to believe that
the President, himself, far from
being the victim of s snow job,
wants very much indeed to be
President for four more yean.
A couple of years age, such a
respect would have seemed'te
him like a prison sentence.
The fact that the ' President
thorenghly disliked his eb at
least staring the first two years
of his Presidency Is arplv doe
amented, for example In Robert
Donevan's sympathetic but re
vealing beak.
. But In the last year, and es
pecially, oddly enouth, since
hia heart attack, there has been
plenty of evidence that the
. President has come to enjoy his
job thoroughly. The outpouring
of affection which reached him
from all over the country after
his heart attack unquestionably
moved him deeply. But there la
certainly another reason for the
President's new found pleaaure
ia the Presidency.
The main reason for his ter
mer distaste for the Presldrnry
was a sense of unsurenrss In
matters of domestic polities. In
the 1952 campaign and for a
long time thereafter, the Presi
dent tended t defer humbly to
the Judament of professional
politicians and as a result, for
example when he omitted Tien.
Georte Marshalls' name from
his Wisconsin speech, he made
some ef his worst mistakes.
Within the last year especial
ly, the President has discovered
that he is s better politician
than s whole passel of profes
sionals. This year's Administra
tion program has been a politi
cal masterpiece. The current
session of Congress has taken
the real sting out of every ma
jor Democratic Issue. The farm
and gas bill vetoes were, more
over, politically brilliant'. And
although the details of the re
,rent political conduct of the
Administration may have hern
. authored by subordinates, the
general strategy was certainly
dirtated by the President him
self. Mastery of politics Is essen
tial te mastery ef the Presl.
' dency. Only since he acquired
this mastery has the 'resident
emitted the true Presidential'
Jew, which derives rem sn
Inner sense af great personal
authority. At any rale, the Pre
sidential glaw may In part ex
plain the abvlous paradox why
the President, who frankly con

Scion of Pioneer Put
Family Name on Map
Back In 1883 young B. F. Hall
moved downstream from his
father's donation land claim to
buy the ferry which remains the
only mid-valley map record of
a prominent Oregon pioneer
family.
B. F. Hall was the youngest
son of Reason B. Hall who had
added the family name to a
ferry of his own earlier where
his farm jutted into a bend of
the Willamette at the present
site of Buena Vista. The elder
Hall named the hopeful town,
and his ferry later took on the
name of it.
The Halls Ferry that survived
in name only, actually was start
ed back in 1868 by Noah Leabo.
The ferry itself has long since
been discontinued, but the name
lives on in the community along
side the Oregon Electric tracks
southwest of Salem. Recently its
school which still bears the
name was included in the Salem
School District. So Halls Ferry,
the name, will probably survive.

Will the new Boggs-Daniel bill
lick the problem of drug addic
tion? A medical authority, Dr
Herbert Berger, president of the
New York City Medical Society
and chairman of the state
medical society's committee on
alcoholism and narcotics, is very
doubtful. In sn article in last
week'a New York Times maga
zine he makes a plea for treat
ment. Federal law on the eubject
began with the Harrison Act of
1914. Since then, in Berger's
view:
"W have created a rw crim
inal clasi. We hav a floUriahlnf
narcotira racket. W hav ever
mor drus addicta . . . Our nar
cotic problem la now the worst
In the world. Our addicta are
younger than ever. Thev fac a
lifetime of crime and addiction
momly to heroin."
Dr. Berger mentions three
solutions: 1. Destroy all addicts
not to be thought of. 2. Confine
a I I addicts for life, an
admission of defeat. 3. "Recog
nize the addict for what he is -
s mentally sick person ' and
attempt to rehabilitate him, with
out drugs if it is humanly possible
to do so and with them if nothing
else can be done."
The rate of relapse from
persons jailed for addiction is
almost 100 per cent, and the rate
even for those who have been in
hospitals is very high. Clearly
we need much more thorough
research and experimentation to

develop better methods of treat
ment. Berger suggests hos
pitalization, then clinics to serve
as the crutch for victims of the
narcotic habit.
The two approaches are not
mutually exclusive.. We should
still have laws with penalties,
especially against peddlers
though usually the peddler is also
an addict, we should do a great
deal mere through medical
science and psychiatric treat
ment, and will have to if we
make much headway against this
evil.
