Herter for Vice President
It Is indeed unique for a member of the
White House entourage to head a movement
counter to the expressed preference of the
chief executive. 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 ...

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 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

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.

Delayed Arrival of
Hoat, Started Hunt
A boat reported five hours over

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.

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

But if the AEC has invented a -"clean

Stauss openly boast to the world
about this humanitarian achieve
ment? And why should he make
his cryptic reference to "oper
ational factors"? And why was
uranium 237, radioactive by

' 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

power projects such as Hells

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.

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,

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.

McKay said the company has

from the tract. Mining patents
on the tract have been the sub
ject of extensive congressional
hearings in the Pacific Northwest

The majority report of the con

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

for this investigation provided
sweeping authority to root out and
reveal any and all wrongdoing
indicated in your request for this
