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 .
Inclinations we do not know he is still a
rnusinff sdvnrat nf nuhllr iwiwtr H haa
however, made headway in the Democratic
Party, serving for four years as DemocraUc
national committeeman. " ' ' "" v '
SweeUand deserves credit for ridding the
DemocraUc Party in Oregon of some of 4ts
barnacles. He believes m clean government
But if he is elected secretary of state w
may be sure he will use the office is an
amplifier for magnifying DemocraUc propa
ganda of the left-wing stamp. We just don't
want to see this happeruSo we do not want v
fo see him win in November. -

election of Mark Hatfield for secretary of
state. . -
five million dollars, half of which was for
salaries of agents working on the case. 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. Let them now witness the
- free choice of the people.

! 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

'subjects the

and school integration.

form expressed by an elderly

A Salem man bought a keg of beer the other day to
take home for a house-warming party. 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.
Disregarding the Usoei which
really hit borne to the voters Is
not naually a laudable practice In
a democracy. But In the at special
circumstances, it Is to the credit
( an four major candidates In
Kentucky that not one o( them
has seised the one-edged award

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 . . .

U. S. Public
Still Apathetic
To Politics

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

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.

This venture suggests the un

Salem during the war to produce
alumina from clay. In 1944 a
plant was built on Cherry ave

however, the submarine menace
was pretty well cleared so sup

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

Politics on Parado
He "Kntw ll"
Dear Mr. Sprague,
Far be it. from me to offer you
any more unsolicited headlines,
but I KNEW IT seems the best
brief comment I can make on
your recent endorsement of Doug
McKay for U. 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.

Marion County needs representatives who will represent you.
The record of Republican incumbents shows they act in the legis
lature with little or no regard for. your desires and needs.
You have defeated the sales tax five times It has been put
to popular vote. Every incumbent Republican voted for the sales
tax-also the 45 per cent surtax and exemp
tion reduction from 1600 to 500-in the last
session. Every Republican candidate favors
a sales tax in the next session.
Two years ago you voted to re-distribute
Marion County. Every incumbent voted
against re-distributing when when the im
plementation bill reached the legislature. The
fourth Republican candidate testified op
posing the bill before the legislative com
mittee. 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. They distribute propaganda claiming
"Special Interests Caused the 45 percent Surtax " In their frantic
efforts to force the sales tax upon you. these incumbents brand
themselves dupes of "special interests!"
You have consistently voted down a cigaret tax. yet Republi
can incumbents voted for one in the last legislature. This would
have addedjnother $8,000,000 to the S30.000.000 surplus created by
the surtax'
I am opposed to sales tax legislation. I do not believe you
have to choose between a sales tax or the 45 percent surtax. 1
believe your representatives should stop trying to ram a sales
tax down your throats, and, until you approve some other tax
plan, should devote themselves to effecting a decent income tax
law.

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. Hall from a decree disposing
of property in a divorce suit
brought by Edythe Halle.

Norhlad vs Lee Asked
To The Editor:
The Oregon Statesman is to con
gratulated on the good coverage
of the joint discussions nf Gov
ernor Smith and Senator Holmes.
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.
A good Republican high school
teacher of mine used to make the
Lincoln-Douglas debate "live."
That's past. Lets have some
Norblad Lee debates in the
present.

the employer will have to be
increased from two and three
per cent to four and six. Taxes
paid by both wage earners and
employers are about the limit
already, and the voting public
should be very careful about
these vote seeking proposals.

Advises Caution
To the Editor:
Senator Wayne Morse has
advertised in Southern Oregon
newspapers that he favors low
ering the eligible age for social
security to 60, and a raise in
the minimum pension. I think
the public should be warned of
the consequences. Lowering the
age will cut some of the tax in
come for the social security
fund, and increase the number
of recipients. As social security
