Ia the first place, this reporter ' went to Iowa with the strong sus picion that the much-advertised disaffection of the Middle West era farmers was mostly Demo cratic wishful thinking. It Is not.

Net this time." The Eisenhower magic 'which this reporter found operating with remarkable power on a previous pulse-feeling expedition with Har ris' operates only dimly and fit fully in these parts. Some farm ers, of course, deeply admire the President ("He kept us all to gether whea we were going apart," ana kind-faced old farm er said thoughtfully). No one dis likes the President. But there ia surprisingly little of the personal affection (or him which is found elsewhere. Never once did a farmer call him "Ike" -It was always "Ei senhower," plain and hlunt.

In . der him will be a commissioner for fish and wildlife and further do we the list two separate agencies, each with the status of a bureau, which will be administered by a director.

For many years sports fishermen and commercial fishermen have been clashing head-on. Now we ran have top level government clashes, as well. Besides which bureaus are fashionable today. Evidently sportsmen and commercial fish ermen clash in other parts of the country aa well at Oregon. 'One-Way Street' Roscoe Drummond, Washington newsman, summed up the Stsssen boomlet for Gov.

Editorial Comment A SPATE OF COLLECT rVta Without hesitation we apeak of a herd of cattle or a flock of sheep, but what's the, correct collec tive noun to use for whales? Such questions about English vocabulary weigh heavily oa an editor at times. One has to be pre pared for anything In this business. If a large number of whiles suddenly appeared in the Wil lamette River Just abaft Canby. our store of words should be sufficient that we could refer to them collectively in a manner that would pass .muster even on the hallowed copy desks of the Saturday Evening Post or Harper's. Se this slave to accuracy has just devoted a few spare moments to collecting collectives. The sur face has barely been scratched, but we did learn that our invading whales might be either a pod or a gam. A "pod of whales (or seals, either, for that' matter) ia a small school or herd. A gam of whales is genuine whaler's lingo for a large number i pouters as far as the eye can reach, or a good Sized group. Pursuing the elusive collective still farther we find that covey ia the made-to-order word for part ridges, quail or similar birds which take off in a flock, all at once. It wouldn't be used much for pheasants which are Individualists when they burst into the air. On the ether hand the' useful word bevy may refer to larks or quail, not necessarily In flight, and also to women not necessarily In flight either. First time we ever saw bevy uaed the latter was when a reporter covering a beauty. to the collection of shapely gals -- - . . .". - , PreVtJcally everybody knows that a family of bees moving out or occupying a new hive is known as a swarm, and that a number of hounds or wolves travelling together Is correctly celled a pack. But supposing you were fishing up a stream and came upon a reedy spot literally alive with long-legged, long-beaked birds. Would you know that you had run into a sedge of herons? We've heard, toe, that real Englishmen speak of "aa episode ei sparrows," but that could refer to the occurrence or recurrence of an unusual number of the pests. . For our money the most efficiently descriptive collective noun we've run onto lately is "a gaggle of geese," and you'll find that in almost any working on currently Is a plot to common usage a phrase which handy during the next few months: politicians. Canby Herald wmmmmmmmmsmrmA Declared 'Real'; Such Opinion publicans, Including President Ei senhower, are la trouble the experienced Harris says that the switch away from Elsenhower is "as heavy as any Fve ever run into." A good many switchers gave the President's health as the reason for changing. But both Harris and this reporter had the same impression that the Pres ident's health was often less a reason than aa excuse. Eisenhow er's Illness makes it respectable for a respectable Iowa farmer to vote against him. The Democrats thus have an extraordinary political opportuni ty to exploit, just as Harry Tru man did in taw. But, as a practi cal matter, they are probably in capable of exploiting it. Estes Kefauver Is-amazingly.. well-liked among the farmers of Keokuk and Muscatine a num ber of them, when they heard of his withdrawal, expressed ob viously heart-felt regret, and blamed "the manipulators." But Arilai Stevenson is not at all well liked, even by those who like El senhower least. "I Jut don't like the sound of him o the looks of him," one man said. . A young farmer in a tattered shirt, an in telligent man himself, remarked oddly: "Sometimes that Steven-, ann sounds so bright he's kind of nauseating." Even those who planned to switch to Stevenson did so "reluc tantly "Might as well vote for Stevenson can't do any worse." This dislike of Stevenson and R Is an active dislike, not Just in difference is as real as the dis affection towards Eisenhower. But if Stevenson, as the now al most inevitable Democratic can-, didate, can somehow overcome" it, If he can somehow manage to communicate warmth and sym pathy and aimplenrss, It begins to seem Just conceivable that the ISM election may not be quite the tedious foregone conclusion it has seemed till now. iCopvrliht toss.

Since the works maintained by the com pany are ia Egypt there seems no question but what Egypt could confiscate the property. Other countries have done the same-Britain itself for instance. I. Does this violate treaty obligations?- Undoubtedly it does. Egypt (ranted the concession to the Sues Canal company. It was a party to the convention of Constantinople in 1R8S which fixed the international status of the canal's operation. Other na tions have reneged on their treat ies, but at their own risk. Egypt took a risk; and Nasser a bold gamble, when the move was made to seize the canal. I. Is there ground for use of force unless Egypt breaches the convention by actual interference with free movement of ships on the waterway? That is the key question. Signs indicate that the powers will not wait for an overt action but Will move alter action but will move alter Egypt will be unwilling or un able to operate the canal as it has been operated, and to insure the safe movement of shipping through the canal.

Really, though.- Americans are not much excited over the Suez. Of course if Panama or Colom bia tried to take over the Pan ama canal our reaction would be very different. U.S. policy in the Middle East has aimed at smoothing its troubled waters. Rejection of Egypt's plea for help on Aswan dam has been fol lowed, however, with a sudden and violent churning of the Suez, with a threat of worse trouble before calm is restored. In our woods the troublesome porcupine is easily taken care of with a blow from a club. That may be the treatment accorded Egypt, but unlike our porkya, Egypt may have quills that fly and sting.
