Dtp 3ZHEE UCDOIO Saturday' Statesman carried an Associated Press-dispatch from Washington saying that the Eisen hower administration "has start ed a complete review of its na tural resource and power policies as a result of setbacks the Re publican party -suffered In mid vest and western states." An unidentified official " was quoted as saying "the machinery has already been set in motion at the vice presidential and "cabi net level to take a long, hard look at the natural resource and power policies. """" This is like locking the bars 1 door after thieves had visited It twice. If Republic leaders la Washington had bee alert they would have launched this study after th defeat of Cordo I '54. Conservation Is one of the words with real pulling power, To stand for conservation is to have the angels on your side. To be labeled as an anti-conservationist Hs to be held in league- with political devils. Doue.hu MeKay, who rates himself as a true " consena tionist, had the misfortune to he labeled as anti-conservationist, and that by nation al spokesmen for conscrva - tion causes, other than Dem ' ocrats. " .His failure politically stems from 'his-' failure or inabilityto interpret to the administration the instinct for conservation- held throughout the country. The administration's partnership power program simply didn't prove popular. The visible and tangible benefits of Bonneville and Grand Coulee Dams converted all but anti-government - ownership people to public power development. Dissatisfaction with Idaho Pow er Company's three-dam develop- . ment of Snake river power stem med as much over fear that the Northwest would lose a substan tial number of kilowatts in per petuity, and water storage for flood control, as over distrust of private development. Had Republic! held U the program of federal development f the' Columbia and Hs mala tributaries, leavtpg other power sites for local or private develop ment, they would kar held yibllc eoafldeaca la greater de gree. Other instances, such .as the D'Ewart grazing bill in 1953, and tha inclusion of Echo Park in , Dinosaur National Monument in a proposed reservoir while neither prevailed helped to ' weaken faith of dedicated conser vationists in the administration program, and the Davis ruling on Al Serena mining claim patents, relatively trivial in themselves, was used as a red rag to alarm them further. I Fimlly when the adminis tration threw Douglas Mc Kay, secretary of the in terior, into the senatorial battle agaittst Morse, it real ly joined the issue with the remit already recorded - by voters on Twesday. .. Sensing the mood of Oregon voters as revealed in 1954, this writer was apprehensive of this consequence, and supported Phit Hitchcock for the Republican nomination for senator. On the face of the results it does not look as though Hitchcock would have defeated Morse the damage to Republicanism had gone too deep and for that matter lovable Paul Patterson might not have sue ceeded either. , . .... Bat Hitchcock's defeat would ant have bee as crushing to the arty as that of McKay, entered s the COP "champ." Oregon Republicans are still re sentful of the tactics employed to enter McKay. It seems that a phone call was made to the White House (reportedly by Ralph Cake, former national committeeman) urging that McKay be enlisted as a candidate, on the basis of show ings in some private poll. Where upon Sherm Adams and Leonard Hall virtually commanded McKay to make the race, an "order" ap proved by the President himself. Against Us wishes ad his its good , judgment McKay, good soldier always.' obeyed, d made as strenuous a campaign as ever was made over Oregoa, but he eould aoi beat back the tide whose flow wa indicated la 1954. - The Cake -Adams Hall decision was made without consultation with the state chairman, with other candidates who had entered the race, or with close personal and political friends of McKay's. Its consequence was to push Mc Kay off the political pinnacle into the political discard. . I am reminded of a'story about a newsboy. As he sold a paper to a gentleman he related: "Say mister, yoil shoulda hrrn her tirtterdnu. We had treat exctternent. bee that building over there. It cot afire. There teas a man hang ing onto a ivindowsill away vp high, The: flames was spouting out the windows. Guys on the ground, they yelled, Jump, uie gotta man' let, we'll catch you.' So he jumped. Jezez, mister, it was funny. Yqti kneno thoseguys didn t have no blanket." That was the way it happened with McKay, :....;. . .

Thia information was relayed to The Statesman by Hollis M. Dole, Portland director of. the Oregon Department of . Geology and Min eral Industries. He said he based his findings on a report that will be released to the public Tuesday, -f - According to Dole, 'The United States is now importing almost 73 per cent of all the bauxite it processes, and if foreign imports were cut off, much, if not all, of the higher grade domestic alumi num ore would be exhausted with in five years. Under these conditions,'-' he added, "the lower grade ores juch as are present in the Salem Hills would assume tremendous national importance because of low silica and low cost mining." Large Tonnages . Dole further stated that an aerial examination of the area indicates the possibility of large tonnages. He emphasized that it is not the duty of his department to conduct exploratory drilling that "in real ity falls within the province of mining and aluminum companies."- Hence, he said, "conclusions as to the economic possibility of the area can only be done after further examination." Dole agreed that the demand for aluminum is increasing and that new aluminum companies are in "dire need of new bauaite re serves." (.'usually, he said, "when ever a new source of bauxite is reported it is investigated by these companies." Hidings "Practically all the aluminum companies are on our mailing list," he said, "and conclusions of our findings in the Salem Hills area have been mailed to them." ' Dole 'stated that one major aluminum company at one time conducted an investigation in Salem for approximately three months. "Decisions to do so," he said, "was based on a preliminary report it received from our de partment." The reality firm of Grabenhorst Bros, of Salem, said Saturday, options to buy property in the area were once Held by an Alumi num company but they expired.

Tax Exemption For Homes of Aged Studied A $7,500 borne tax exemption for ; persons 63 years of age and older with a yearly income of $2,500 or under was recommended here Sat urday by the Legislative Interim Tax Committee. The step was among suggestions for property tax law changes made to the committee by Samuel Stew art, member of the State Tax Com mission. . In the concluding session of two-day meeting here, the com mittee showed sentiment toward the easing. of the tax burden on homes in general at the expense of other property. Committee Chairmen Rudy Wil helm, Portland, said he thought non - income producing property should be assessed at lower rates. He added that home owners as a class are deserving of better treat ment. Stewart warned that any adop tion of variable ratios would cause trouble for the property tax system.

POUNDBD 1651 The Oregon Statesman, Salam, Oregon, Sunday, Novombar Ike Says 'No I to Siviss 'Summit' Meet Rejected; Warns U.S. 'Volunteers' WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 President Eisenhower politely but firmly turned down today a Lid from Switzerland for a new summit conference be tween the Western powers and Russia 'to deal with the crises in tha Middle "East and Eastern Eu rope. Tha-prohlerniWhich ...threaten world peace, the President mes saged Swiss President Markus Feldmann, are now before the United Nations and "I believe that interests of all will best- be served by carrying these initia tives through to a successful con clusion." Meeting Possible There remains a greater pos sibility of a meeting between Eisenhower, British Prime Min ister Eden and French Premier Guy Mollet to 'try to repair the damage to . relations, among the Western Big Three caused by their split over the British-French attack on Egypt. But even this prospective conference is not like ly to be held soon because the I President and his advisors want to keep world attention focussed on the United Nations. The State Department today prohibited to the limit of its legal power American "Volunteers" from joining the forces of either side in the Middle East conflict. It did this by Issuing a warning that American citiiens lose their citizenship by serving in a foreign armed force, without permission. 'Volunteer' Move .. This statement, officials said, was necessitated by a movement in Europe for volunteers to go to the Middle East and join the armed forces of Israel. U. S. con sulates were reported to have re ceived many inquiries about the possibility of American citizens taking such action. In addition, the United States wanted to- make clear its own opposition to . letting "volun teers" go into ' the area in the hope that this would discourage action by Russia to send in "vol unteers" on the side of Egypt. The Swiss invitation for a new summit meeting has received "urgent and sympathetic consid eration here," the President said in his message. .

Currently, the California Insti tute of Technology professor is working on the application of chemistry to mental diseases. - He calls himself a "pure scien- list," who tries - to understand what causes disease rather than to develop cures. "The first step," Dr. Pauling said, "Is to attack the problem, -understand it, and then relay the information to scientists with fun damental backgrounds, who then develop cures." The seriousness of mental dis-1 ease, he said, can be visualized when you realize that over half the hospital beds in the United States are occupied by mentally ill patients. - He stated that mental disease is definitely caused by hereditary factors and abnormal molecules. He believes that once the factor that causes abnormal molecules is found, then cures for disease would be the next step. add. detail oa fare t .
