Tuesday into a plain statement that the
party platform should express unequivocal

Paul Butler who had suggested that the plat-,

flarry Truman, a pet hate of the South; and
io far only Gov. Shivers of Texas has de
clared himself against Stevenson at party
Jiominee. With Kefauver withdrawn as a can

is Harriman, and he Is definitely unwanted

A Democratic party convention without

unusual. This old battle which split the party

The scheme for a conference
had already been agreed upon
In principle in London when
President Eisenhower sent Secre
tary Dulles to join In the talks
there. What Dulles really did in
London was simply to give his
approval to the conference
scheme, and to work out with
the French and British the terms
of the plan for internationaliz
ing the canal that will be jointly
offered to the conference by
Britain, France and the United
States.
What Dulles did not do was
considerably more important. In
brief, he did not reach any
agreement with our leading al
- lies be did not even try to reach -any
agreement about what
would be done la the highly like
ly event of the proposed confer

No such moment of "low-comedy triumph"

Reston, "since election night of 1948 when a
grinning Harry Truman hoisted aloft that

Reston got his date mixed. Truman went

A hearing is in progress in Washington
before the FPC on the application of a pool
of Northwest power companies for licenses
to build two dams on Snake River above
Lewiston. The application is opposed by the
same public power group that fought Idaho

the FPC decision favoring Idaho Power this
battle seems anti-climax. The tail will go with ,

thermore, If Britain and France
finally decide not to act against

Altogether, the outlook is not

to 69 per cent In his first two
years. This ii solid proof that
the President's dynamic pro
gram for peace and prosperity
will do much better with Re'
publicans in Congress.
Many of Ike's foremost re
quests were killed this year by
the Democrat majority. For ex
ample, his legislation on civil
rights, federal aid to education,
postal rates increase and im
migration law revision failed to
pass.
The civil rights bill was bot
tled up in a Senate committee
after passage in the House. And
the aid to education measure
was defeated . in the House
when the 'Democrats refused to,
go along with Ike's plan of aid
according to need rather than
population. '
I voted against the bill in
the form it was presented, as
did many others. It's obvious
that many states do not need
federal help. If they are able
to meet their own needs, why
should the federal government
spend tax money on them? - -
Hlehway Act
The' bill that I " was most
happy to see finally passed was
the federal -highway construc
tion act. I supported this legis
lation when it was first pre
sented by Ike to the 83d Con
gress. It means that Oregon
will receive about $104 million
during the next three years to

Orewnn also was fortunate
this year to receive generous
appropriations for public works,
reclamation, power, and flood
control projects. I testified for
many of these appropriations'
I am also pleased to report
that almost one dollar out of
every 18 in the public works '
bill for the entire United States
will be spent on projects entire
ly In " nur Second District," or
partly in adjoining ones.
In regard to my stand on ,
power, I would like to clear up 1
some misconceptions. Some of
ttirpeple-who m to want,
all federal power, or no power;
at all, have tried to give the ,
impression that I am against
federal power. This Is not true, j

As for Hells Canyon, tha
Democrats tried to pass this
bill mainly for political rea
sons, as was sdmitted by Demo
crat National Chairman Paul
Butler in a letter to party lead
ers in Congress. Even if the
bill had passed, construction on
the dam might not have bees
started for many years.
FPC Decision
..' My stand on this issiie has
always beei that the federal
Power . Commission should de
cide who should build the dam
on the basis of sound engineer
ing data. The decision was
made and power should be on
the line by 1950 without costly
Tederal expenditures.
Hells Canyon was another ex
ample of the Democrats' des
perate efforts to create diver
sionary issues while ignoring
the one most important 'to the
"American people. That Is, has
the 'Republican administration
done a good overall job in the
