Hatfield vs. SweeUand , Salem hasn't seen much of Hark Hatfield lately. He has been busy campaigning over the state as Republican candidate for secre- . tary of state. "Marion County, which elected him by big votes to the house and state sen ate,- has not forgotten him. It will give him a big vote for the office he seeks. Hatfield, after this legislative experience, decided to venture on a full-time political career. In fact it may be said that he "planned it that way." His interest in politics began as i youth in high school In college and uni versity (Willamette and Stanford) he majored in political science and came back to teach at Willamette. Now he proposes to cross the street from academic groves to the marble -halls of the state capitoL One readily commends Hatfield for his adoption of politics as vocation. Admittedly it is precarious, but it does offer opportuni ties for great public service, Hatfield brings knowledge of government gained not only through study but through legislative mem bership. A Republican, he has sought to make., it a party of progress. His election will not only insure a diligent administration of the ; secretary of state's office and careful atten tion to the work of the Board of Control but it will confirm this able young man in the career of public service to which he dedicates himself. . . ' His opponent Is Monroe SweeUand, editor of the Oregon Democrat and the Milwaukie Review, whose major interest in late years has been the rehabilitation of the Democratic -Party In Oregon as a full-blown vehicle pow ered by New Deal philosophy. SweeUand came to the Democrats from the left side. Ha was one of the campus radicals of a quarter century ago, an official of the leftist Oregon Commonwealth Federation, staunch sup porter of Norman Thomas, the perennial So cialist party candidate, and a Socialist elector in 1936. - - - How far SweeUand has shaded his socialist .

The trial itself is said to have cost $150,000. How ever, few will begrude the spending in view of the results obtained. But while we are commenting on the case it seems in order to criticise the Brinks outfit for having such, mediocre protection against burglary. These yeggs seemed able to case their joint at will, work their locks and study the plant layout Such carelessness was an Invitation to pulling a robbery. Life Terra for Brinks Robbers - ; - Good citizens all over the country take a lot of satisfaction in the conviction and sen tencing of eight of the gang that pulled the famous Brinks robbery in Boston. It took so long to impanel a jury that it looked as though the ends of justice might be thwarted by frightening the venire or by technicaliUes that might be thrown up in the progress of the trial.. Finally a jury was sworn in, the trial was held the proceedings lasted nine weeks. The defendants didn't take the stand. . The story told by one of their confederates stood up. The jury convicted all of them. Now the judge has sentenced all eight to terms of life imprisonment, with some con current sentences of fixed term on other charges growing out of their offense. ' According to the Boston Globe the invest! gat ion of the. $1,219,000 robbery cost some Gripes at Panama ." If we were not so absorbed in the Sues crisis, though it has cooled off considerably since, first it broke upon the world, we might . give attention to some troubles the United States' has down at the Panama Canal It isn't that Panama is threatening to seize the canaL Panama might assert its sovereignty just as Egypt has over Suez, except that Panama couldn't get away with it and really doesn't want to In fact a new treaty was signed in January, 1955, which confirms U. S. occupa Uon of the Canal Zone and operation of the canal and increases the payments made by this country to Panama. The gripe down in Panama is that citizens who. are employed by the Canal Company (a U. S. agency) and by the U. S. armed forces stationed in the Canal Zone get lower wages than do American nationals. The new treaty contained a provision which appeared to as sure equality of pay and opportunity to these Panama citizens, but recenUy the president of the Canal Company, who is George Rod erick, assistant secretary of the army said the company had no intention of bringing the pay of the natives to the level of that enjoyed by U. S. citizens employed by the company. There is another gripe by these employes. Next January under another provision of the treaty they are to be denied the privilege of shopping at U. S. tax-free commissaries. This has given them substantial savings in living costs. Their leaders contend that if they are not to get equal wages they shouldn't be de prived of this shopping privilege. Presumably this clause was inserted at the behest of Panama merchants who have lost trade to the commissaries. U. S. officials can of course explain the wage differential: different living standards, etc. but in this age of universal democracv that doesn't satisfy the Panama nationals. If our understanding is correct. U. S. oil com panies in the1 Middle East have exerted them selves to employ Arabs and to give them eaual pay with non-Arabs for the same class of work. Ultimately the U. S. will orobably r have to make some concessions to the Pana manians who work on the canal. Editorial Comment Moscow' Looks' at Democracy The Soviet Union has accepted the State Depart ment's Invitation to send observer here for the election in November. It is a good thing. Now Mos cow will be officially confronted with the funda mental process of true democracy. Not that the observers will admit it does not exist at home. "All citizens of the U.S.S.R. who have reached the age of eighteen, irrespective of race or nationality, re- - liRion. educational and residential qualifications, social origin, property status or past activities, have the right to vote in the election of deputies (to the Soviets)," grandly proclaims the constitu tion issued by Stalin in 1936. But even if the So viets, the collective units making up the ostensible governing bodies of the U S S R., wielded any real power, the ballot in the one-party state is nothing more than a humiliating rubber stamp, and 99 per cent majorities are sad mockeries of the popular will. The Soviet observers are expected to be ''medi-um-rank" officials. Careful indoctrination will prob ably prevent them from reacting with open minds. They are likely to be baffled by many aspects of political campaigning In a free country. But one thing they should certainly understand that the ordinary American considers himself, to some ex tent at least, the arbiter of the national destiny through the power of his vote, that here the state is the servant of the people, and that the leaders of the state must account to the people ia a satis factory way if they want to continue in their high offices. .. Delegations from behind the Iron Curtain have been here before, but for the most part they have inspected only the achievements of a free science and a free technology.

By STEWART ALSOP : LOUISVILLE, Ky. - There U one issue here, and, one only,"' which really makes the pulses of the voters beat faster. It is the one issue which is never men-, tioned at all by any of Kentucky's four Senatorial candidates. The issue Is, of course, the facial integration of the schools, . : Tula reporter spent many hours Interviewing voters in four dis tricts of this city, carefully cbos .

The ' purpose was to test, not only voting inten tions, but the voters reac tions to three 'subjects the Pres 1 d e n t's health, Adlai Stevenson s divorce and school integration. The reactions to questions bout the President's health and fevenson's divorce were curi cur'y similar.

The Integration bane Is, n the ether hand, a ne-edged sword, In , tha tenia that It euts In only one direction among tbe whites la this border stale rlty. For, especially in the poorer " white sections of this " city," the- . resistance to integration is ab solutely monolithic. . Occasionally it is blind and ' bitter and tilled with unreasoning hate. More often it takes the" form expressed by an elderly one-legged man in a low income bousing project in the Shelby area: "I don't think the Negroes should be tromped on. I think they should have as . good a chance as anyone else. But I sure don't mw why wa ahmild be all mixed up together." . , .

He strapped the keg into the bucket seat of his small, flashy English-type sports car. He had some business to take care of near Willamette University on the way home, so he stopped and parked his car, barrel and all, near the campus. He was gone about 15 minutes and when he re turned to the car, there was an admiring crowd of students gathered around. As he approached he heard one of the students breathe in awe-struck tones: "Man, that's reeeely living. A sports car, with a built-in ' Jkeg-' children In the parochial schools for seme time sew." ene Cath olic worker said, "and It's worked wit all right." He was typical el others. As one moves away from the crowded low income areas into the middle class districts like Highlands or Crescent Hills, one finds a milder reaction. Once in a while, a person will even ex press approval of the integration program "Color's only kin deep," one man said, and a woman remarked that "it's all according to the good book." But even in such areas, the white people oppose integration by an overwhelming majority. The political implications nf this almost universal feeling are sug gested by the hostility to Ken tucky's Gov. "Happy" Chandler which Is found everywhere in Louisville. Chandler is heartily dis.liked formany. excellent rea- sons. But the unpalatable truth is that he is disliked most for one of the few really responsible acts of his career calling out the Na tional Guard to prevent rioting over integration in Sturgis, Ken- . tucky. j.

Slaybe the politicians can make something of this, but Marion County deer hunters are mortgaging their rifles more than ever this year. Seems they go to a loan company, bor row a hundred bucks to finance a hunting trip to bag one buck, and put np their guns as security. County Recorder Herman Lanke said this week his office has a conpla doien of these trafasactions on file. And this Bucks-for-Buck-Hunten or Dough for-Doe -Chasers program is stronger this year than last . . . And speaking of politics it takes the gals to show the way to bi-partisan platform sharing. From London comes the heart-pounding news that, despite the Suez crisis, Miss Eng land (36-23-36) had graciously agreed to room up with Miss Egypt (35-24-36) during the Miss World contest. Beauty before politics, the girls say. Besides, as those in the know often say, a canal is not necessarily a gulf ... We wonder, though, if Miss Brooklyn (3 wins-4 loses) will share a bed with Miss (per fect game) New York . . . Lot of eiciting things are afoot this week. It is not only National Fire Prevention Week but also National Anti Freese JWeek. Which means that if a warmed-up citiienry prevents all fires this week, fire fighters can sit around and ante up for freeie-out. It U also Save the Horse Week (coming off appropriately during deer hunting season) and National Letter Writing Week. So if you have any horses yon want saved write somebody about it. And if this all gives you a headache, you'll have to hold out until next week, which Is National Pharmacy Week .... Next Saturday will be just another leaf-raking day for millions of Americans. But it'll be a big day for Marie Fish and James Bass of Raleigh, N. C, who will hook each other, matrimonially speaking, on that day. To round out this reel fish tale Fisherman's Magazine will sponsor their honeymoon (fishing trip of course) to New York. Watching the whole thing with baited breath are Miss Fish's boss, A. J. Skaale (pronounced "scale") and Bass's boss, R. R. Pool, who gave the couple plenty of line . . . Hans U. S. Public Still Apathetic To Politics By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Any idea that President Eisen hower would sit back and issue high minded statements about gov ernment in general and his ad ministration's record in particular has been dispelled. "I wonder what kind of man they think 1 am." he said as he pitched in. The dreamiest, wishing well campaign in a long imp began to perk tip. But still it doesn't prom ise much Although Stevenson has been swinging hard from the start, re ports from the country generally record a lack of public interest in politics as a whole. In New York City this is regis tration week, but the figures are way off despite the four - year increase in qualified voters since 1952. Some attribute it to the World Series and expect it to pick up during the last three days. New York has been one place where there was supposed to be some 'interest, due to the activity of labor leaders. "Dream" statements have been made on both sides of the political fence in an effort to stir interest, hut actually have seemed to in crease the public view that there are n real national issues. The President struck at these "dream" issues in his Pittsburgh speech, especially those of Steven son about thinking of banning H bomb tests and thinking of end ing the draft. But the Republicans have been guilty, too. In the same class was Nixon's wishing-well statement about the four-day week And in his 1952 campaign Eisenhower spoke the same type of "i feasible" words about ending the war in Korea and liberating the European satel lites. There is some evidence that a long-suffering public is beginning to watch the phraseology of such statements, and no longer is so likely to accept them, despite the fact the Korean War did end. The political business of claim ing credit or attributing blame for events which just happen during a particular party's period in pow er doesn't seem to be as profitable as it used to be. which is quite free of silica. Near One reason for this is that fun Cottage Grove and Molalla and damental differences between the near Castle Rock, Wash, are parties are not as distinct as in extensive deposits of clays rich years past.

This venture suggests the un dertaking of the government in Salem during the war to produce alumina from clay. In 1944 a plant was built on Cherry ave nue. Before It was completed, however, the submarine menace was pretty well cleared so sup plies of bauxite were ample. The plant was operated briefly a delegation from the chamber of commerce went out one day and saw it turning out the white pel lets of alumina. It was run long enough to show that considerable revision was needed to make th? plant work. With the ending of the war this was not attempted. The plant was used for some months in the manufacture of fertilizer (ammonium sulphate) and was taken over briefly by the Ray-Q-Vac company, then turned back to the government. The Harvey Interests (which had launched the Montana aluminum project originally) then, acquired the plant under a purchase con tract. They have used It largely tor research work. Now that they are going ahead with an alumin um reduction plant at The Dalles they may expand the use nf the put to man's use. mmmmmmmzmmmmmmm Time Flies own parties.

S. Senator. One thing, though, does sur prise me: vii, your admission that, as a business man adminis trator or practical man of affairs primarily, McKay does not pose as a great statesman. This trib ute to his candor reminds me of what Churchill said of Attlee: an awfully modest man with an awful lot to be awfully modest about. Perhaps a better compari son would be with Calvin Cool- idge, many of whose character istics, and ideas, McKay seems to share. But the question befoae the house is whether, for all his unquestioned moral character, McKay (who said repeatedly that he did not wish to run against Morse until he was drafted to "get" him is intellectually qual ified, in this day and age, to rep resent Oregon for the next six years in the U, S. Senate. You claim he is, but do you really think that the Legislative as weil as the Executive branch of the national government should be dominated by Big Business: and if so why not the Judiciary also? One other point: the fact that you omit from your column all mention of the giveaway of give aways. Hell's Canyon. What about McKay's part iri T inducing the President to use j enormous pressure he notoriously j did use in the Senate to ensure ; this giveaway? Perhaps it is bad ! taste to mention this: Hell's Can yon. I know, is a sore point with ! many good Republican Oregon ians. But come, my dear Sir: for the record: having swallowed so much surely you won't balk at this! Silence gives consent, re member. But I venture to suggest that a vast majority of Oregon ian voters of both parties will re fuse next November to endorse this giveaway by silence or other-, wise, and will vote accordingly as in 1954. I certainly hope they will. Ivan Lovell, Route 3. Editor's Note, Well, what about Hrtls Canyon1 If you be lieve in public power then you will be for Hells Canyon, come hell or low water. If you believe in private power you will favor the three-dam development by Idaho Power. If you are some thing of a pragmatist on this subject, as is this editor, you are interested in the engineering economic facts. We remain in doubt that the unit cost of-'such electricity the high dam (with down stream increments will produce over and above that of the low dams would be low enough, all factors considered, to justify spending a quarter of a billion dollars extra for these kilowatts. As for McKay's part, our con tributor greatly exaggerates it. The power policy of this admin istration was finally determined at White House levels and an nounced from there, but it fol lowed the partnership program outlined by Eisenhower as can didate in 1952 in Seattle. McKay withdrew the opposition of the Department of the Interior to Idaho Power's application, but permitted engineers of the rec lamation bureau to testify freely at the hearings. His predecessor, Oscar Chapman, had intervened to try to halt private develop ment of a project, which had been authorized by Congress, un der an FPC license. The Supreme Court threw out his intervention, ruling that authority for admin istering federal laws on power lay with the FPC. It may be add ed that before McKay appeared on the national scene. Congress had not seen fit to authorize Hells Canyon as a federal project, and hasn't to this day.

Republican candidates who voted for the 45 percent surtax, now head a committee , favoring changing our constitution to allow emergencv clauses on tax bills, a "back door" approach to the sales tax.

TaCtj Guy Jonas Man Cleared Of Conviction By High Court A Salem man was freed of a two-year old rape conviction by an Oregon Supreme Court decision handed down Wednesday. The court reversed the convic tion of Daniel D. Watts, who was judged guilty of a charge of statu tory rape by a Marion County Cir cuit Court jury on Nov. 23, 1954. fart of the convicting evidence was an alleged confession which Walls repudiated The 14 year old girl allegedly involved in the case denied on the witness stand that Watts had had relations with her. The high court held that while a confession may be used to show who perpetrated a crime, it must first be legally shown that a crime was committed and that while cir cumstantial evidence may be suf ficient to prove the crime, such evidence must be "clear, cogent ' and convincing " Watts was sentenced on Jan. 28, 1955, to 14 years in prison. He was held in Marion County jail, however, pending his appeal no tice and was released on bail Aug. 10. 1955. In another opinion Wednesday the supreme court upheld a Mar ion County Circuit Court decision when it denied an appeal of John E.

Governor Smith and Senator Holmes are to be commended for the courage .that they have in standing before each other and defending their political ideals. Every serious voter in the state owes these men a vote of thanks. Now may we hear from Mr. Waller Norblad and Mr. Jason Lee from the same platform. The next congress of the United States will be one of the most crucial in the history of our na tion. Therefore, we ought and have a right to know what our congressman from this district will do in Washington. Democrats should meet Walter Norblad. Republicans should meet Jason Lee. How can they unless they both meet on the same platform and discuss the great world-shaking issues of our time.
