Alternates for Suez Canal
' Failura of the five-nation committee to ob
tain Col. Nasser's assent to the plan offered
by the London conference for international
izing the Suet canal throws the question back
In the laps of the 22 nations which composed
the London parley. No reassembly Is planned, !
but conversations will be held through nor
mat diplomatic channels to see if some ac
ceptable compromise may be devised. This
is said to be the program of Secretary of
State Dulles who la now cast in the role of
mediator .between Britain-France and Egypt .
Attention also is being given to alternate
routes of travel There ia the old sea route
around Cape of Good Hope, opened by Por
tuguese navigators Vasco da Gama in 1497
made the first sea voyage by a European to
India. This route was developed because of
exactions in the Levantine, where the camel ,
routes from the Far East ended, and by the
monopoly held' by the merchants of Venice
who controlled this traffic. The route around
Africa, however, was too alow, even aftee the
advent of steamships, so the Suez Canal was
built, which shortened greatly the distance
and time consumed in travel between Euro
pcaa and Asian ports. ' . 1
Possible alternates are more . pipelines
across to tha Mediterranean from the Middle
East oil fields, a new canal across to the Per
sian gulf, and resumption of routing around:
the point of Africa. One factor of interest .
in connection with the last point la the trend
toward construction of huge tankers for car
rying petroleum. Until recently tanker ca
pacity did hot exceed 30,000 tons. Now tank
ers of 45,000 tons are in service. Contracts ,
have been let for building three of 60,000 ton
capacity each at Newport News. A Japanese
shipyard is building a .tanker of 83,000 tons,
and there is talk of building a tanker of 100,- '
000-ton capacity. i v. -
' These big tankers are beyond the capacity
of the Sues Canal, and were not intended for
use there. By hauling much greater vol
ume, the cost would not be greater than it is
now via the Suet. By employing tankers for
the 'ocean voyage the risks of sabotage to
pipelines would be avoided. The New York
Herald-Tribune describes the new big tank
ers as "fast and sleek," fitted with swimming
pools and other facilities for the comfort, of
the crews, real "queens of the sea."
The London Economist has bees pressing
for study of alternates to the Sties Canal, -
and these tankers appear to be the most
practical yet suggested. They would also of
fer a competitive threat to CoL Nasser. After
all, he doesn't want the Sues to fill up with
desert sand for lack of traffic
A sidelight on fair trade laws was cast by
Weitlnghouse Electric when it reported last
teek that its appliance sales have spurted '
sharply since it quit fair trade pricing a year ..
sgo. Its spokesman declared its new price
policy had proven successful and that no re
turn to fair trading was planned. , It is pos
sible to maintain resale price lists on items -that
are subject to little competition- Other
wise ao, for the policing job is too difficult.

Higher prices for steel prompt a turn to

Progress In Mexico
V; Our attention has been concentrated so
' long on affairs in Europe, Asia, Africa that
we have been neglecting areas much closer
to homeMexico for instance. . The theory
that "no flews is good news" applies to Mex
ico. For some years it has been tranquil, and
busy, welcoming thousands of American tour
ists annually and making rapid strides in
economic development.
On Sept. 1st President Adolfo Ruiz Cor
tines gave his annual address to the nation
in which he reported on recent progress as
follows: , j
Gross national production up 10 per cent in
one year.
Agricultural production up 10 per cent.
Electrical energy uf) 11.5 per cent.
, Manufacturing up 11 per cent.
.. .. Tourist travel up 14 per cent.
..Mexico's foreign exchange situation im
' proved, too, as its gold and dollar reserves
reached 1400 million, up $173 million from
the year previous. v Balance of trade ia also
favorable.
' President Cortines did warn against over
optimism and admitted that the cost of living
had increased. The population is growing,
however, and living standards are rising.
We gringos rejoice at this favorable report
on Mexico. Close together geographically
our two nations have not had relations as
i close as should be, one reason being mem
ories of the war of over a century ago in
Ore., at .tacrtnd
Mascn J, U7S,
Preea ,
which Mexico lost its Northern territories to
, the United States. Mexico has a distinct cul
ture with which, through travel and reading,
Americans are becoming more familiar. This
helps promote the good understanding which
ought to mark our mutual relations.
A few days ago we made note of the report
of the census bureau that Umatilla County
topped counties in the nation in production
of green peas. Now we add that Jackson
' County and Hood River County are right
near the top in production of pears. Jack
son County ranks fourth and Hood Rfver
' County fifth, in number of pear trees, but
the latter is ahead of Jackson County in pro
duction with 1,921,320 bushels to the tetter's
1,425,040. Yakima County, Washington, ranks
, first In pear; production followed by Santa
Clara and Placer counties, California. None
beat Oregon-grown pears for quality, how-
ever.' v.
Editorial Comment
GOBCB Of TBI DBSCBVTSS
In Oregon Just easi a tha high Caaradaa there la a
alory that haa never been told, except In unfinished
chapter!.
It ia the grand and spectacular etory el tha Dee-
chutea forge.
Recently, more than 4M eseurelonteta aboard tha In
' aide Gateway expresa ef II care viewed that gorge, un
dtr the brilliance of September ran, and again aa
rocky Binnacles and aplrea ware outlined la deep ahad- -i
owl of evening.
The traln-lan traveler! asked questions about the
rugged gorge, and were told the alorv of the epochal
battle between the Hill and Harrtman svstems In tha
rocky eanvon of the Deschutes nearly SO rears ago.
Scare of abandoned grides were seen. Abandoned
tunnela ware viewed.
Deep In the forge below Maupln the excursionists
topped for a glim pee of a hlltoric spot, Sherara bridge
It waa there that John Y. Todd, pioneer cattleman and
once ewner of the farewell Bend ranch, eo intruded
the flrat bridge over the Deschuiee.
Acroaa that ahsdy span moved packatflnga. an route
to and from the Idaho snines. Over a bridle built In
IMS to replace the first crowing, dertroved by a flood,
erases d m Inert, stockmen, stages and wagons, eat rout
to the Interior.
But back of tha story of man-made structures la even
t greater story of the forge Of the Deoehutea. That la
the eon-long struggle of. the Cascade-born river to
maintain lis right of war against recurring floods of
lave. '
The Deschutes, In Its long race from the Cascades
south of Bend ta the Columbia, did not always oc- .
cupy Its present channel.
Once, long ago, the river. In pluvial times, mean
dered aa a mighty stream In the broad valley between
the ancestral Cascadaa and tha aid land masses now
represented by the eroded peaks of tha Smith rocks
and the Powell buttee.
ia those remote days, the Deschutes rode high over
the present plains, choalnf Its canyons aa the topo.
frspnjr of the region changed. Through the centuries
t waa crowded to the eaat by tha outpouring of tha
Cascade lavas.
Deep in the forge of tha Deschutes at present ia the
story of those livaa, and of the manner they piled en
top of older formations. Including tha gaudily colored
John Da clays.
Finally came the faulUnf In The Dalles region that
depressed the Sham he plateau some I.MXI feet, end
crested thai depression through which now flows the
mighty Columbia In its plunge through the Cascades.
The faulting to the north revived the alugglsh Dee
chutea la tha upper country. After trying seversl chan
nels, the Deschutes moved to the eastern Cascade foot
hills and started gnawing its present gorge into coma
1.0ue feet of rock.
Tha result la the spectacular gorge of the Deschutes,
one of the most awesome and Interesting river canyons

Wiley off the President's coat

aays querulously of the Wiscon

racketeers as a weapon ot ex
tortion or by officials to rig union
elections"). The Times article
aaya that Dio is "an old and ra
apected friend of John J.
O'Rourke, president of Local 283
of the teamsters, who waa seek
ing to unseat Martin T. Lacey
as president of the council" and
a friend of James R. Hoffa, vice
president and Midwest boss of
the Teamsters who haa sought to
take over control of the union in
the Eaat. As long aa officials of
the Teamsters Union bold close
commerce with a guy like Dio
there surely is do ocaslon for
repealing the Hobba Act. Rather
officials need to be alert to its
enforcement, as well as enforce
ment of other laws against cor
ruption and graft and extortion
by racketeers operating behind
the screen of a labor union.
That decent labor unions and
labor leaders do not countenance
men of the type of Johnny Dio
may be aeen by the publication
in "Labor's Daily" a publication
aponsored by tho international
Typographical union, of an arti
tie in its issue of Sept. 6th head
ed 'The Strange Career of John
ny Dio." It quotes from Tom
Dewey, prosecutor who sent Dio
to Sing Sing, describing Dio as
"a young gorilla . . . (who) was
about to become the impartial
racket chairman of the trucking
industry." It relates his activities
in detail, which included serving
as officer in non-union garment
firma while he was edging into
power in the labor movement.
It reports too that "Dio is known
to have powerful friends in the
Teamsters' Unjon. He also ran
"a so-called labor relations coun
selling firm" so he seems to
have worked all round the globe.
I do not want to convey an
inference- that organized labor
la full of racketeers or that many
of its leaders hold association
with men like Johnny Dio. That
la not the case. For the most
part, officers and members of
labor unions are good cititens,
sealous to protect and advance
the cause of workers, but hostile
to racketeers and extortioners.
Leaders at the top, however,
need to be more tealous in rid
ding the labor movement or its
vicious elements. While individual
unions enjoy a high degree of
autonomy, the executive council
or the AFL-CIO has plenty of
disiplinary powers if it sees fit
to use them as the separate
bodies did in getting rid of Com-'
munists who had got control of
some unions. That the council is
moving in this direction is shown
in its creation of a new Ethical
Practices Committee and in
adopting the committee's recom
mendations against misuse of
labor union welfare funds. This
is a good start toward getting
rid of trie) elements that bring
organised labor into disrepute.

Ike's Smarter
Solon Plea Not
Meant as Slur
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10 I
President Eiaenhower was quoted
as saying today he meant no alur
in declaring last week: . "We need
more professors in Congress to
teach those congressmen some
thing." Charles E. Chamberlain, Repub
lican candidate for the House of
Representatives from East Lans
ing, Mich., told newsmen this aft
er visiting with Eisenhower at the
White House today.
Chamberlain waa one of 22 GOP
nominees for Congress who had
their pictures taken with the
President for campaign purposes.
Last week another group visited
the White House for the same pur
pose. At that time the President
learned that one of the visitors,
William Prendergast, was a for
mer professor of government sci
ence at the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md.
Elaeakawer Quoted
After that visit Prendergast
quoted Eiaenhower aa having told
him: "We need more professors In
Congress to teach those 'congress
men something."
Chamberlain, whose Democratic
opponent in the November election
Rep. Don Hawwarth once
served on the faculty at Michigan
State University, laughingly men-
tioncd the episode of last week to
the President.
Chamberlain told reporters that
Eisenhower "minimized the whole
thing" and aaid that he never in
tended that his remark should be
applied "to any of the present
members of Congress."
Chamberlain quoted tha Presi
dent as saying that he just felt on
general principle that it would be
a good Idea for Congress to have
more professors in Its ranks.

governor recommended the fol
lowing steps:
Making additional doctors
available by training them at the
state institutions, additional fa
cilities to relieve overcrowding,
cooperative research with other
states and the federal governmnt,
sn expanded social worker pro
gram for discharged patients, and
more occupational and industrial
therapists.
Asserting that much progress
has been made in the past few
years, Gov. Smith aaid, "We are
still short of the goal we must
reach. Each year the population
of our menial institutions increas
es by about 100 patients. Admis
sions exceed discharges.
"Hospital officials are con
vinced that this patient growth i
which costs the stste an extra
half million dollars each year
can be stopped. We must devise
a program that will provide for
quicker cures and return of pa
tients to active life in less time.
This will make treatment pos
sible for all who need it and at
the same time save millions of
dollars in taxes."

At Age of 86
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10 Ofv
Homer S. Cummings. U.S. attor
ney general during the administra
tion of President Franklin D. Roo
sevelt, died today. He was 86.
Cummings died of heart failure
shortly before noon, the family j
physician announced.
Cummings had lived quietly in
recent years. He was born April
3. 1870 in Chicago. 111.
Cummings was a prominent fig
ure in national affairs of the Dem
ocratic party from the days of the
Bryan "free ailver" movement to
the latter part of Franklin Roose
velt's second term.
Supreme Court Plaa
Cummings resigned as attorney
general Jan. 1 1939 During the
time he held that office he was
credited with having proposed to
President Roosevelt the controver
sial Supreme Court reorganization
bill, popularly known as the "court
packing" bill. He was its cham
pion before Congress and in
speeches throughout the country.
The proposal lost but not from
lack of support from Cummings
for empowering the President to
name one new justice for each in
cumbent over TO
Under Cummings' administra -tion
the personnel of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation was built
up and the tame of the FBI and
the popular "G-Men" grew.
Arrest af Hauptmana
It was Cummings who an
nounced to a news conference the
arrest of Bruno Hauptmann as the
kidnapper of the Charles A. Lind
bergh Infant. Cummings' Invaria
ble custom was not to open confer
ences with newsmen until his
press relations man had distrib
uted cigars and cigarettes and all
had "lit up." He followed this rou
tine before announcing Haupt-1
mann's arrest. Few of the smokes'
were ever finished and he nearly I
lost the door to his private office!
in the resultant rush. j
. Upon retiring from the Cabinet!
Cummings went into the private
practice of law in Washington. I

tigresses today mauled and
chewed to death a luuy-prown
male tiger In a fight that lasted
fmm ?n in M mi mil es in the out
door grotto at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Zoo officials did not witness the
fight, and they do not know what
started the jungle-like fight among
the three big cats.
Tun tirera are Irvlns to drown
another one." a nearly breathless
spectator told officials at the zoo
office.

grotto. Snarling at the side were
the two females, inoia ana sonya.
Gates Opened

'opened and the females darted In
Lside. apparently thinking it was
feeding time.
7 nitcnrfanls first drained the
moat. Then they lassoed and
roped his hind legs. Hia
trainer Rudy Underwood stood by
with a rifle to shoot the mauled
animal if necessary. Dr. Byron
Bernard gave It shots to anesthet
ize it. Underwood still stood guard
as the animal was loaded onto a
tarpaulin and carried to the base
ment of the lion house, where he
died a few minutes later.
Fight Witnesses
First persons to see the fight
said one of the females had Rajah

him by the left hind leg. It was

him into the moat or whether he
fell in during the fight

in the grotto together during day
