A Communist Blind
' So-called American Communists apparent
ly have agreed to give lip service to the bal
lot boz Instead of force and violence, in their
avowed purpose to turn the nation Into a to-,
talitarian 'State. - - 1
Their phrasing is high-sounding: "We are
American Communists, patriots. Our alleg
iance is to' our own eountry, -the United
States. In representing and advancing the
fundamental welfare of the working class,
we aim always to serve our country's true
national interest" i
- And through whose glasses do they look
to determine "true national interest?" Mos
cow's. To whose Ideology do they look for
the twisting and turning line as their guide?
Marx' and Lenin's. To whose Godlessness do
they subscribe? The Kremlin's. "v v
Their effort of ascendancy toward respect- ;
ability and acceptance should fool no one. A
dynamic democracy with its will toward class
lessness and its recognition of the superiority
of human dignity and rights remains and
will remain the bulwark of the Free World.
The eliminating of the words "force and
violence" in the "American" Communist's
creed for action is nothing more than a blind.
The constant striving for a better life will
go on within the. framework of our own Bill
of Rights, not the Third Manifesto. '
As a guess, we'd say Vice President's Week

to either party. --

"I Feel Fine" ,'.."
It would take a hardened partisan, indeed,
not to share today's thankfulness on the first
anniversary of President Eisenhower's cor
onary trouble. Not only has the President re
covered from that startling attack in-Colorado
a year ago, but he has also weathered the
June 9 surgery for ileitis. Now, as of Sept.
12 at Jils campaign kickoff rally at Gettys
burg, his own analysis is: "Ladies and gentle
men, 1 feel fine." His appearance supports
his words. ' '"'
There is nothing certain as to the length
of a man's life. We recall the campaign of
1940 when Wendell Willkie, was running
against Franklin D. Roosevelt who was seek
ing a third term. Willkie was a younger man,
In fine physical trim. It seemed a point in
his favor, that he could bring fresh vigor and
longer life-prospect than his opponent. But
Willkie died before Roosevelt Again in 1952
Bob Taft, who was younger than Dwight Els
enhower, would seem to be the one to be fa
vored for the presidential nomination on the
score of health. But Taft died comparatively
soon after Eisenhower took office.
If there is a tendency to recurrence in cor
onary attacks and ileitis, there is also quite
some tendency-to fatality at the first on
slaught, particularly in the former and long
evity is unpredictable for anyone.
None of us know when we may be stricken,
Republican, Democrat or anv other partisan.
The plain fact is President Eisenhower has so
few points of vulnerability that his opponents
must seize on the health issue, directly or in
directly, to make much progress. We doubt
even that is very effective.
On this signal anniversary of his illness,
we wish for President Eisenhower a long and
comfortable life, whether in office br not,
and we rejoice that a man who has served his
country so long and well "feels fine."
Kefauver and Al Serena
.Congressman Ellsworth was not the only
one to intercede for the McDonalds in their
quest for patents to Al Serena mining claims.
Though his secretary signed the letters, they
were written at Kefauver's request. The sen
ator who is candidate for Vice President, says
his intercession was routine, which seems to
be true. Likewise Cong. Ellsworth was en
deavoring to aee that his constituents got ac
tion on their case which had been held up for
many months in the Interior department. We
see no reason to smear either Kefauver or
Ellsworth for their part in the grant of pat
ents, and certainly not Douglas McKay who,
though secretary, knew nothing of the case
before the patents were issued.
It is time this big giveaway balloon hoisted
by Democratic hot air was punctured. Per
hans the publication of the Kefauver letter
will help do that
The New Orleans reporter who wrote that

have become extremely contro
versial political figures Morse
because he bolted the GOP and
McKay because of his policies in
serving as secretary of the In
terior. If McKay should soundly defeat
Morse, It would mark a sharp
rerenal of the tread toward
Democratic galas to which the
election statistics bow point.
As for Congressman Norblad,
who represents Northwest Oregon
including the Salem area, the
election statistics indicate that
despite the Maine returns he will
be fairly easy winner against
Jason Lee, his Democratic op
ponent. Almost without exception, Nor
blad has picked up a higher per
centage of the total vote in his
district than other Republicans
running for Congress in the other
districts of Oregon. For example,
in the last election Norblad got
(3 per cent of the vote cast In
the first district, compared with
55.4 per cent received by Ells
worth, 52.6 per cent tor Coon and
47.5 per cent by the defeated GOP
candidate in Portland who lost
out to Mrs. Green.

trends indicate that be may lose

Of special interest to students
of geography is the river arrange
ment in this section of the con
tinent. The Canadian Rockies
form the rooftree of North Amer
ica. Drainage from their western
slopes, via the Columbia and the
Eraser . systems, enters the Pa
cific ocean. The eastern slope
nourishes the headwaters of the
Saskatchewan which flows across
the three prairie provinces into
Hudson's Bay, an arm of the
North Atlantic. The northeast
slopes feed the tributaries of the
Peace and Athabaska rivers
whose waters flow into Great
Slave Lake and then through the
Mackenzie into the Arctic ocean.
The course of some of these
streams is surprising. The Co
lumbia river rises in Columbia
lake, just north of latitude 50 de
grees. It flows north, making a
horseshoe bend around the Ca
nadian Selkirks, thence flowing
south through Arrow lakes and
into the state of Washington. One
of its principal tributaries, the
Kootenay, rises well to the north
of Columbia lake, behind a moun
tain ridge. It flows south across
an open valley floor within a very
short distance from Columbia
lake. In the 1880s a canal was
dug across the flat in an attempt
to promote navigation between
the Columbia and the Kootenay.
The flat is now called Canal
Flats. The canal is still there,
though where the road crosses it
is filled save for a culvert to
carry the small flow of water
which still drains toward the
lake.
The Kootenay runs on south
into Montana (where its spelling
is changed to "Kootenai," then
into Idaho at Bonners Ferry and
north across the border to Koot
enay lake, and from the lake into
the Columbia near Nelson, B.C.
These streams precipitate some
controversy now between Canada
and the United States. The U.S.
would like to build a dam near
Libby, Montana, which would
back up the waters of the Koot
enai Into Canada. Canada will not
agree to this without adequate
compensation, and meantime is
studying a plan to divert the
waters of the Upper Columbia
into the Fraser river system
which would .curtail the flow of
the Columbia across the United
States, reducing the power po
tential for t his country. The
United States Is quite unhappy
over this possibility.
The Canadian Rockies rank
high among the scenic grandeurs
of all nature. Their peaks rise
to heights of 9 - 11.000 feet and
higher, in sharp peaks or sheer
ridges that appear at. times like
the frozen crest of a wave. Gia-
oera nang on tneir sheltered
northern slopes, feeding water
falls and streams.
With great foresight Canada
has embraced this section of the
Rocky mountains into several
national parks: Jasper, Banff,
Yoho, Kootenay which are joined
by British Columbia's Ham her
provincial park. Not only is the
scenery protected but wild life
also, and here wild animals
abound: bear, elk, deer, moose,
mountain sheep and goats;
The best counterpart .of the
Canadian Rockies in the United
States is at Glacier National park
or in the Colorado Rockies. We
came through Glacier on our re
turn (via Calgary on highway 2).
Rain and clouds obscured the
view but here too the mountains
and lakes capture the eye of the
traveler the mountains have
more coloring, reds and olives,
than their northern cousins.
; The mountains in Alberta break
off abruptly into the plains of the
prairie provinces, a wide expanse
devoted to grain growing and
raising of livestock. Calgary is
the principal city in the southern
part of the province, though Ed-

the north Is larger. Both cities

To the Editor:
I wish lo express my apprecia
tion to the Statesman and its edi
torial writer "M.W.W." for the
editorial which appeared Sept.
20 giving credit to the Salem
League of Women Voters for the
Twelfth St. widening project,
which Leaguers themselves refer
to as the "railroad project." This
recognition is especially timely
as we are going into our annual
finance drive on October 1, with
the expectation of raising $300
in contributions, and we are
proud te point to the record of
service given this community.
On the theory that Salem can
not afford citizens who know
little and care less about gov
ernment, we have in the past
year given a lot of time and ef
fort to the registration of voters
and almost 500 were registered
by our volunteer deputies in
three locations before the pri
mary. We are now doing this
again for the general election.

Eden 'FigKting
For Political
Life' in Suez
By JAMES F. KING
LONDON, Sept. 23 uD Sir An
thony Eden is fighting for his po
litical life In toe Sues Canal crisis
And be is fighting with the bit
terness of a man who feels he has
already been doublecrossed once
by Egyptian President Gamal Ab-
del Nasser.
This explains, in part, the some
times seemingly wavering position
of the British Prime Minister to
ward the use of force in resolving
the Sues dispute.
The story goes back two years.
Eden, then foreign secretary,
negotiated the treaty with Nasser
providing for withdrawal of Brit
ish troops from the Sues Canal
zone. The withdrawal was carried
out against the opposition of
a hard core of empire-minded
Conservatives in Parliament
known as the Sues Group, which
cried this meant "surrender."
Eden defended withdrawal with
the assertion:
o s a
"It is our hope that it will now
be possible to establish our rela
tions with Egypt on a new basis
of friendship and understanding.
The government believe that this
is also the intention of the Egypt
ian government."
One of the terms of the treaty
was preservation of the 1881 Con
stantinople Convention guarantee
ing freedom of navigation through
the Sues CanaL This was in July
1954.
Two months ago, when Col. Nas
ser seized control of the canal,
Eden now prime minister i- ad
mitted surprise and shock. Before
the Suez Group could say "we told
you so" he moved swiftly and de
terminedly and put Britain on a
virtual war footing through a royal
proclamation.
a o a
The swift reaction caught the
imagination of Britons tired of be
ing kicked around. Even those
who had criticized Eden for being
a "ditherer" were impressed.
The French, who blame Nasser
for stirring up much of their own
troubles in North Africa, heralded
Eden and offered him support.
They cheered Eden's cry that in
ternational control of the Suez Ca
nal was a matter of "life and
death to us all."
In the beginning, the British La-
hr nirlv cavp the imnrruinn it
was wholeheartedly behind the
government s stand - but second
thoughts began to occur.
u.1, W-hinolnn mHo it Hoar
it was against force, Eden found
himself faced with a new situa
tion. Hugh GaiUkell, leader of the
Laborite opposition in the House
of Commons, declared:
"We think that Egypt has act
ed wrongly and that Col. Nasser's
dramatic actions are to be de
plored and resisted but we do not
think that the government is en
titled to go to war, or to issue
threats o( war, as Tory spokes
men and the Tory press have
been suggesting."
Britain's eight - million - strong
Trades Union Congress went on
record with a declaration that
force be used only with the con
sent of the United Nations.
Though the British seem divided
and politically they are at the
moment on how to deal with Nas
sera step by him endangering
jobs could unite them.
The British and French private-
! ly admit being a little confused
I about the United States. Many feel
that any London or Paris sugges
tions if they even hint of getting
tough are undercut by Washing

IRuss Yiddish
Theater Said
Recommended
NEW YORK. Sept 23 on The
Soviet government is reported
planning to establish a Yiddish
language theater in Moscow to re
place the one destroyed in Joseph
Stalin a anti-Semitic purges-.
The announcement came from
the Communist, radio in Warsaw
in a Yiddish-language broadcast
several days ago. The station said
a committee made up of several
leading Soviet Jewish theatrical
people who survived Stalin's drive
had prepared, at the' request of
the Soviet government, a memo
randum on the new Moscow Yid
dish theatre.
The committee recommended,
said the broadcast, that the new
Moscow Yiddish theatre be housed
in a building on Pushkin Street
and that it be named for the fa
mous Yiddish writer Sholem
Aleichem. It will begin perform
ances in May 1957.
The previous Moscow Yiddish
theatre was shut down in 1949.
Some of the leading figures of the
theatrn were charged with serious
crimes and liquidated.
American Jewish leaders who
visited the Soviet Union last sum
mer said they found Soviet offi
cials with whom they talked in
different to Jewish culture. The
reported re-establishment of the
Yiddish theatre may be intended
in part to answer such criticisms
from abroad.

Confirm Support for
Shorter Work Week
DETROIT. Mich . Sept. 23 -Walter
P. Reuther, vice-president
of the AFL-CIO, said in a state
ment today "we would like to hear
unequivocating commitments of
concrete government support for
a shorter work week" from
President Eisenhower, Vice Pres
ident Nixon and eight other influ
ential Republicans.
Reuther, who also is president
of the United Auto Workers Union,
wired all 10 in the wake of Nixon's
envisioning a four-day week in the
Veils Lifted
For Princess
MOMBASA. Kenya, Sept. 23
Princess Margaret, in a pale yel
low taffeta dress with flared skirt,
visited today with the veiled Mos
lem women of Mombasa in the
Aga Khan Diamond Jubilee Hall.
It was a striking contrast be
tween two worlds as the pretty 26-
year-old princess stepped into the
hall to meet the women who by
religious custom hide their faces
from men from the time they are
girls.
Margaret wore a matching
"hair drier" hat, elbow-lern;th
white gloves and accessories. The
colorfully garbed women lifted
their veils to receive the visiting
British princess. No men were al
lowed inside the hall. One Arab
official's wife commented:
"We are happy Queen Elizabeth
has a sister and not a brother. If
Margaret were a prince, she
would not be allowed to visit us."
The women presented Marg-ret
with a silver tray and in a brief
acceptance speech Margaret
struck the keynote of her current
tour of British territories in Easl
Africa and the Indian Ocean.

Reuther said unless (here
are "unequivocating commit
ments" from the Republican lead
ers "to support enthusiastically
a practical and specific legisla
tive program for a shorter work
week, then the Nixon speech may
be written off as merely an ex
ample of political expediency
.
"The UAW proposes." he con
tinued, "to take the first collective
bargaining steps toward achieve
ment of lbs four-day worn week
in 1958 . . . The dunger o( indus

be eliminated if the govcrnmerit
will assume its proper share of

"This' can be done by legislation
reducing hours of work for feder

government has a direct responsi
bility, and by amendment o( the
