This is what Harold Stassen is doing in declaring his intention to do all he can to obtain the nomination of Gov. Christian Herter of Massachusetts for Vice President. Previously and several times Eis enhower has indicated his satisfaction in serving with the Incumbent, Richard Nixon. He has given Nixon his annointment for re nomination. Stassen is direct appointee of the President's as a special assistant for dis armament. He told the President what he was planning to do which amounted to lay ing his neck on the block for the President to release the axe if he wants to. The Stassen move is the first positive erup tion of long felt discontent with Richard Nixon. No one else was ready to take the lead, and It is doubtful now if many will fall in behind Stassen. The laager has lost consid erable of the glamor that attended him as a presidential hopeful in 1944 and after. More over, the party regulars will be in control at San Francisco, and they seem to be set on picking the same team. There is a considerable element in the Re publican party who like Eisenhower only to the extent that he can win the election. They are more inclined to favor Nixon and cer tainly will not desert him for renomination. The exception here might be Senator Know land whose political star was somewhat dimmed by the rise of the Nixon luminosity, and whose following in California has often clashed with Nixon's. At any rate, it is not likely that the senator ial crowd will get behind Herter of Massachu setts. For one thing, he really is an interna tionalisthe was born abroad (but his birth was promptly registered at a U. S. consulate); he was one of Herbert Hoover's helpers in war relief: he has been a strong advocate of active participation by the U. S. in world af fairs.' This record is enough to damn him with Jenner and McCarthy, et al. At the same time, Herter would be an ex cellent choice-ra good man for President if the duty fell to him. He made an excellent record in Massachusetts, in its state .legisla ture iSpeaker), as congressman, and as gov emor. The Statesman gives him its endorse ment, but recognizes that he is such a late ' starter in the race, his chance in overtaking and passing Nixon seems a minus quantity. Apocalypse, or Armageddon? Writing about the intercontinental missile, Dorothy Thompson says: "The great powers have the apocalypse by the tail." A colorful metaphor; but with this missile maybe the devil has all mankind by the nape of the neck. The ultimate Armageddon may be just 'round - the corner. , A recent announcement was made that American inventors now have succeeded in controlling the fallout so the decimation by radiation may not be as great as was feared one officer said it might extend to Jnundreds of millions. But if we get into all-out war, who will put the brakes on the fallout? During the last war both sides did a lot of saturation bombing. The old code of warfare which sought to spare neutrals and noncombatants was blown up in the first World War when Germans launched unrestrained submarine warfare. In the second World War bombers devastated cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obliter ated to demonstrate the new power which the United States possessed. If scientists perfect intercontinental mis siles armed with H-bombs and the military once starts using them, perhaps the proper hope would be that a complete job of destroy ing the human race might be done. How ever, we still cling to the righteous hope that wars may be contained, and these super-weapons of annihilation will be kept within labor atories and arsenals. "1 am flit" champion of home and mother! . , , And of the sitter, when mother isn't there! ..." Riding a Tiger The new party boss in Hungary has purged Gen. Farkas, former minister of defense. He was found guilty of various charges, but his principal guilt lay in having been a staunch supporter of the former premier, Imre Nagy. Farkas was not only ousted from all his offic ial jobs, but was kicked out of the Commu nist party, the ultimate humiliation. So far neither Nagy nor Farkas has been executed. This inclination toward humanitar ianism may be hailed as a sign of reform in Coronunist countries, but it certainly breeds trouble for the future. Communist rule has never thrived save by show and exercise of force. If purgees are allowed to live, they, surely will become zones of infection to threaten the downfall of the regime. That is why they never allow free elections in Communist countries. The new "liberals" in the Communist world (if they are liber als) are riding a tiger. ' i Most timely piece cf political campaign material ever put out in these parts are the real cool items circulated now by Robert Holmes, Democratic candidate for governor. They are in the shape of wearable cardboard sun shades and bear the inscription, "Don't J3e Blinded To The Issues." That's one thing nice about these political campaigns eye shades and cold facts in the summer, and hot air in the fall '. . . Renoir's statue, "Venus Victorieuae," which temporarily was a choice (or the Moores me morial, in Salem, will find a permanent home . in the Portland art museum. The man in Hol lywood who purchased the bronze after the Pioneer Trust Co., yielding to local pressures, decided to make another selection, has pre sented the Renoir work of sculpture to the museum. Tom Colt, director, hails the acqui sition, calling It one of the finest works of sculpture in the first quarter of the 20th cen tury. Instead of work of such merit. Salem is to get a conventional pioneer family with their clothes on; of course. No Extension of Lane Probe Gov. Elmo Smith, acting on advice of Rob ert Thornton, attorney general has declined to extend the investigation in Lane County as requested by District Attorney Venn. The at torney general told the governor, he felt his work was finished in presenting the evidence to the grand jury which failed to render any indictment against Judge Reid, accused of in terfering with Impanelling of a grand jury. As Thornton said, "The authority of the grand jury in this field is supreme." ' That will end this investigation. It will hardly end the controversy in Lane County where friends of Reid have launched a recall against Venn, while others have risen to Venn's defense. It is easy to anticipate that this dispute will be a factor in future elec tions in Lane County where Venn or Reid may be candidates. It Isn't just the good things that must come to an end, as the old saw says. This time its the hayfever season and there won't be any moaning at the announcement that Oregon's pollen count is dropping rapidly from its sea sonal high of mid-June. President Eisenhower has approved five 'counties in Nebraska as eligible for drought relief, and has qualified the town of Mitchell, to receive federal flood relief. It used to be that disasters were borne by the individuals that were hit, with such friendly assistance as neighbors could extend. In the case of large disasters, the Amer ican Red Cross moved in both for emerging, relief and for rehabilitation-as it still, does, even for minor disasters. Now the federal treasury is tapped as members of Congress seek to show their eagerness to do something for their home districts -at federal expense. And sprakinf of politics, many a heat ed voter, who, back in frigid May, voted down fundi which would have provided the city with a third swimming pool, probably wishes now he had been a little warmer to the project. Especially if he's been trying to elbow his way these days into those jammed pools ... a a Remember that pix-story we ran the other day in all that heat about Con Miller, who plays Santa Claus the year-round at the town of North Pole, Alaska? Story told how Con, the ma postmaster and storekeeper in North Pole, keeps the Ch s spirit burning all year by putting the North Pole stai n Christmas letters. Anyway, Mrs. Al' Walker of Sa lem called to say that Con is her cousin. And until she picked up the paper that morning, had not seen or heard from or about him for over 21 years. Christmas for Mrs. Walker came early this year . . . And sure enough, the day the mercury here was blowing its top, a local radio disc-demon rolled out a sweaty "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!' a 1 A Salem couple, In search of some tool breathing-type air, took off (or the beach Sunday about 4 p.m. Naturally they ran head-on Into swarms of motorists who hid been to the coast and were headed back to the old grind. So heavy was the valle bound traffic that the female half of the couple (tired of reading those Burma Shave signs) rounted 1,180 ears met between Grand Ronde and the entrance to Ocean Lake ... A note from Republican state headquarters says public reception to the Central Committee's big campaign effort, "The Documented Record of Sen. Wayne Morse," had been so good that "we are down to one file copy." A second run will be available early next month which should build up a lot of surplus heat. "A most interesting part of the book's reception." chortles a part of the note, "is that Senator Neu berger, w ho is ready to issue a press release on any occasion, has had nothing to say. This is somewhat surprising, since a good part of a chapter deals with his written opinion of Senator Morse." . . ; ' . AF Training Shift to Get More Study WASHINGTON - A Senate Armed Service Subcommittee wants more facts on a proposed partial shift to Amarillo, Tex., of Air Force training of petroleum supply specialists being done at Tillamook, Ore. Air Force officials, and Robert E. Klatt, director of the Northwest Technical Institute at Tillamook, were asked Monday by committee members to provide more figures on what the training costs. They appeared at a committee hearing called after Klatt com plained that the Air Force was planning to set up duplicate train ing facilities at the AmarUlo Air Force Base, and would train some airmen there who normally would be trained at Tillamook." Estimating the value of the training facilities at Tillamook at l'i million dollars, Klatt contend ed switching all or part of the program to Amarillo would put an additional burden on the taxpay ers. He said that last year the In stitute trained 351 in maintenance courses and 320 in petroleum sup ply courses. Air Force officials said they con templated training 350 students at Amarillo next fall, and contended that there would be an annual savings of $379 a student, largely because of transportation in volved. Most of the students would come directly from a big Air Force recruit center at Lackland Field, San Antonio. John M.Jerry, special assistant for installations, said there are many good facilitues, now unused, at Amarillo AF Base which could be utilitizcd. The hearing was adjourned, with no final decision reached, alter Sen. Jackson D-Wash, sub committee chairman, asked that the Tillamook institute be asked to submit figures showing what it would cost to train there the 350 students which the Air Force pro poses to train at Amarillo. Broken Propeller Delayed Arrival of Hoat, Started Hunt A boat reported five hours over due, on a Willamette River cruise from Albany to Salem early Mon day morning arrived about 3 a.m. with all passengers safe. The delay was caused by a broken propeller, W. R. McNicl Jr., 3175 Lawrence St., said. The damage reportedly occurred when the hoat struck a rock near Inde pendence, and the crew had to paddle the 20-foot cabin cruiser to Salem. Passengers besides McNiel were his wife and Leo Moor, Albany. W illamette Search and Rescue Ri ver Patrol was planning a search with daylight Monday, state police said. State Bows Out of Lane County Probe Order Closes Vancouver Forest Area VICTORIA. B C. I - A closure order on the Vancouver forest dis-i trict, ellective midnight Monday) night, was issued by the lands' and forests department Monday. I The order the second this! summer followed an emergen-1 cy conference between Chief For-1 ester Dr. CD. Orchard and other government officials with IT. I Cameron and F.H. Nelson of tha forests protection service.' The decision was made after government officials conferred by telephone with the district forest er in Vancouver concerning the j mounting fire hazard due to pro-! longed hot weather. Sixty-two new fires were report ed during the weekend. 52 of themj along the Pacific Great Kastern! Railway route. More than 200 men! are fighting the fires. I Of nine fires on Vancouver Is-' land, the largest is at CamphrH River. The blaze covers about 375 acres. (Continued from Page 1) Writers Find AEC Chief's Bomb Statement On Fallouts Unclear; 'Clean Object' Weighed t MA 1. t y JOSEPH AND STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON -A few days ago, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss Issued a i atotjmnl Mtwuif i. Xy the recent Pacific hydrogen t 1 1 s. f ' .4.' 1 which could be of I .1 kl.. J:.;. miu, vugui wain- genuous, and wholly false in its . reassuYing Impli cations. The 1 statement was as I followa : "It has been Jdfjtk Alaoft. confirmed that there are many factors. Including operational ones, which do make it possible to localize to an extent not here tofore appreciated the fall-out of nuclear explosions." There is little primary purpose of the statement. Lt. Gen. James Gavin's recently released test imony mat a major hydrogen attack would cans ''several million deaths,' and that the (mm At v death area would "back up well into Western Eu- rope." naturally caused .a furore in Europe. Strauss' atatement was clearly Intended to reassure the Europeans. But the real meaning of his statement Is far less clear. It could mean that the Atomic Energy Commission has succeed ed in achievinf a "clean bomb" a bomb with little or no radio active side effects. It can be re ported authoritatively that re- . search contracts for a "clean bomb" have in fact been let. But ft ran also be stated auth oritatively that the technological hurdles which must be overcome to achieve such 1 bomb are im mense, .

But if the AEC has invented a -"clean bomb", why did not Stauss openly boast to the world about this humanitarian achieve ment? And why should he make his cryptic reference to "oper ational factors"?

It this la aa, the Implied rraitur aaee la tac Slraaaa statemeat Is falas. . ' A high air burst does indeed "localize the fall-out of nuclear explosions," and for a simple reason. Exploded near the sur face, the three mile fireball of a "dirty bomb" scoops out vast quantities of material, radio-poisons it, and sucks It into th upper atmosphere, whence it falls out in a radioactive rain of death on living things below. But a bomb, even a "dirty bomb", exploded two miles or more in the air, will not have this effect, simply because the fireball does not make contact with the earth.

The answer lies in the nature of SAC'i mission. A high burst hydrogen bomb would certainly tear the heart out of a great city. But tearing the heart out of cities is only a small part of SAC's grim job. The great bulk of SAC's bomb stockpile is cer tainly assigned in the war plans to Soviet and satellite air bases. la cane of global war, Ike Savlet aimelds- JO la Eurape a I a e, aeeardlag ta General Graeather, aad maay more la -Savlet terrilary must be dri treyed al all easts.

A house in a city, which ran take only two pounds of blast pressure, might be knocked down by an air burst hydrogen bomh at a range of fifteen miles. Rut reinforced underground struc tures, such as the Soviets are building on their more important bases, can withstand upwards of a hundred pounds of blast pres sure, and thick concrete runways far more than that. Thus SAC simply cannot depend on the blast from high air bursts to knock out the Soviet air bases. Ground bursts are needed to wipe the bases, runways and all, off the fare of the earth.

Similar facts were given to The Oregonian in a letter from Sawyer, whereupon Neuberger jumped to his typewriter for a rejoinder. This time, however, he was riding a different horse. In stead of talking about percent ages he started talking about kilowatt hours. He reported that in 1942. pri vately owned utilities purchased 3.V7 million kwh. but in fiscal 1955 they bought 4.573 million kwh.

Miss Penn is at tepding summer school at Berkeley. the private power companies would help to expand federal power projects such as Hells Canyon, This shift of ground was so obvious that Sawyer moved promptly to expose it, which he lias done in another letter to The Oregonian. Neuberger began the discussion with a talk in -percentages. Even when he turns to discuss kilowatt hours Sawyer points out that .while sales to private utilities were ten times more in 1955 than in 1942. Neu berger "significantly" fails to mention that sales to preferred customers in 1955 were 44 times what they were in 1942. - Kven if all the hydro plants are built, the growth in consump tion is such that ultimately the share going to nonpreierence cus tomers would, under the law as It stands, be cut off. Sawyer declares the "prefer ence clause is wrong in prin ciple." I call it downright im moral. There is no justice -in making customers of privately owned utilities second-class Citi lens. As a matter of fact, the clause is so indefensible that when a brownout was necessary in 1952 5.1 the preference customers ac cepted service curtailment along with customers of private utili ties ralhcr than claim their pre-h-rence. The latter alone, how ever, had to hear a surcharge for a few months. One reason why private utili ties are fighting to get power sites, or to enter into partner ship plans. Is because they see the handwriting on the wall. If the federal government butlds at all the desirable sites, private utilities face starvation for low cost electricity which may be what the public power fanatics want. Young Demos Censure GOI Chief's Statement El'GENE 1 The executive board of the Young Democratic!

Safety Valve To the Editor: Thursday the mercury climbed to 106 degree here in Salem, and everyone was heading for the old swimming hole. The only trouble we had was finding a place to go. We knew that a person would not find room enough to get his big toe wcLat the public pools. So in all consideration we de cided to go to Wallace Park on the Willamette river. It wasn't a very unpopular place either, but we did find a nice little spot for o"ur children to play and -we had the wide open spaces of "the nice cool jriver. We got ourselves cooled down to a high 100 degree and decided to eat our picnic supper. So wo set nut in search for a table to eat on and a spot to build a fire. And low and behold, what do you suppose we found in that grrat big city park? Three, I say three picnic tables all .of them taken. I wasn't aware that our fine city was so deep in the red that it couldn't afford a few more tables. There is plenty of room for at least 10 more, v And in all of that space we found one garbage can which was full and running over.- But please dear citizens, don't be a litter bug. I make a motion something be done about this and 1 believe I would have 50 per cent of the people behind me. JOY E. WERNER, 299 N. Lancaster Editor's Note Fifty per cent Is not enough you need 51 per cent of those voting, and for lack of this the measures for park financing failed. Wallace Park is a. late acquisition. It is being improved as fast as possihle with the limited funds available. Bellcr Eiijrl.R.i BY D. f. WILLIAMS Mining Firm Seeking Fund, McKay Claims ' PORTLAND 1 The Al Sarena Mining Co. is now endeavoring to raise capital to put its Ro?ue River National Forest mine into operation. Douglas McKay, Re publican nominee for V S. sena tor, told the stale board of the Republican Women's Federation here Sunday. McKay said the company has cut only $23,000 worth of timber from the tract. Mining patents on the tract have been the sub ject of extensive congressional hearings in the Pacific Northwest and Washington, D. C. The majority report of the con gressional committee upheld Democratic contentions that Al Sarena gained the patents in order to cut valuable timber stands. Mc Kay told the federation that the deal "was perfectly legal.". (Story also oa Page 1.) The State Justice Department will not resume investigation of matters before a Lane County grand jury unless new evidence requires it, Gov. Elmo Smith said Monday, He explained his decision in a .100-word letter to Lane District Attorney Eugene Venn, who had asked further investigation by Atty. Gep. Robert Y. Thornton. The text of the governor's letter to Venn: "Your letter of July 17, 1956. relating to the status of the grand jury investigation in Lane County was forwarded to the attorney gen eral for his examination. He was specifically requested to report ac complishments o( his office in this case. "The attorney general was fur ther requested to advise me as to my further legal authority and responsibility in this case. "To answer specific points the attorney general states. Specific Qurstloa '"In answer to your specific question, it is my opinion that this olfice has completely discharged its legal duties in this matter under your directives. I'nless the district attorney has obtained some new evidence to offer, it ap pears to me that there is nothing further that either you or 1 can legally do.' "The attorney general further wrote: " Freedom and independence of action on the part of the grand jury lies at the very foundation of our American legal system. For me to accede to this request would, in my opinion, be illegal and a wholly unauthorized inva sion of the duties- and functions of the grand jury. I am satisfied that the grand jury and Assistant At torney General Anderson did a fair and honest job in this investi gation.' "The attorney general con cluded: "'1 will sum up the entire mat ter with this statement! The auth ority of the grand jury in this field is supreme. It cannot be called upon to explain its deci sion, or defend its action before anyone, even the governor and the courts.' Sweeping Authority ".Iy directive sending the at torney general into Lane County for this investigation provided sweeping authority to root out and reveal any and all wrongdoing indicated in your request for this action.
