That of readers is decisive,, and since publishers atill are turning out books on the war between the states one infers that the public interest is still not 'ited. Last Sunday's Book Review section of the New York Times bad three re views of Civil War books. One was "This Hal lowed Ground" by Bruce Catton. This is the -seventh book -in the- ere-or the Civil -War by this brilliant writer. His. "Stillness at Ap pomatox" was. of such merit that it wan for him the Pulitzer prize in 1954.' Catton is ed itor of The American Heritage, the successful ' historical monthly devoted to. the vitalizing of things past, Catton's new book deals with the . battle of Gettysburg which is in itself a fas cinating subject for students of military tac tics as well as the general reader. .': : : Another current publication is Volume TV , in the work of Kenneth P. Williams: "Lincoln c Finds a General" It deals with Grant's cap-A ture of Vicksburg, Miss., which cut the Con- - federaey in two and led to Grant's appoint-' ment to command the Army of the Potomac, for the final crushing of Lee's army.

This was history written at first-hand by those who had participated in it. It -was republished In four61umes. Now an editor has extracted material for a one- volume'edition of what was recognized as a unique and valuable contribution to the his-' . tory of this great conflict. Next month a pub-" lisher is bringing out a new. edition of the ' four-volume work. '..,., ; ' .: . The Times section reviews two other books on the war, but there must be a limit some- where of absorptive capacity for literature on . the Civil War. Catton's book ranka at the top of the current output - ... Sweetland a Casualty One of the ironies of the electlonwas that in the Democratic sweep in Oregon the man who did most to rebuild that party's organiza tion, Monroe Sweetland, went down to defeat. Sweetland was active .in the old Oregon Com monwealth Federation, an extreme left-wing organization. H? needled the Democratic leadership, particularly Gov. Charles H. Mar-r tin. .

'Now" Eisenhower' Result of Confidence Gained in Political Battles, Term in Office . By. JOSEPH. art STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTOrf, Nov. 10 The . Dwight D. Eisenhower the vot--ers have elected President this ' year is in marked and . signifi cant ways a very different man from the Dwight V D. Eisenhower they elected in 1952. J A man's char , acter does not , change basical 4 ly in later life, of course. But Jthe Presidency leaves its mark on any man. Josrj Ii Alr.p and the Presi- l . JnnnH Italia uviivj ijsaufe ca heart attack and a grave oper ationhave unquestionably , left their mark on Eisenhower. ' "It seems a queer thing to say of a man in his sixties," one Eisenhower in- , timate has re marked, "but the fact is that Ike has grown tip." It does not seem a strange thing to gay. And yet it is true that, as a civilian F'":irian, Gen- i , eral I.iscnhow- .,,( , er was harrflv . out of s adding clothes in 1952, a-1 evrn for sme time there- r. ; rrivfr, he had won the r .,... only ny ncnung a vl'h a powerful 1 it the' i.

Take the time he dropped the tribute to Geaeraf Marshall out f his Milwaukee speech. He hat ed doing It. but he felt he had te ale what the arofraaionala told him, because they were prog and he wai ot." : But this sense of unsureness had a side-effect. Again and again in 1952,' and even for aome ' time after he became President, . the- famous Eisenhower temper would explode. "Ike often used to blow up over small things," one campaign adviser has said, , "but this time he was calm as a cucumber - the whole way through." He did blew ip anee. It teems, ever the arrangements for the Gettysburg speech te the party faithful the President thought K was stupid te have his first big eampaiga peer It a straight po litical appeal. But that was the only explnalea. Aad the calming ef the Elaenluivgtr spirit waa only one ef several differeaeea brtweea the 1952 Elsenhower and the 195 Elsenhower. The 1956 Elsenhower still lis tened to advice, because he is a believer in staff work. He re lied particularly on Republican Chairman Leonard Hall and Chief of Staff Sherman Adams. But always the final wyd was his, and no one thought of disputing it. , ... . Ills changed attitude towards his campaign speeches wag typi cal of the change la the ma.

The latter company has just completed a 1,500 mile pipeline to deliver natural gas from" the San Juan basin to the Pacific Northwest. At the Canada line a connection will be made with a line being built from the Canadian gas field b" West coast Transmission Company which will pro vide an alternate source of supDly. El Paso is a principal supplier of natural gas in the far western area on a wholesale basis.

El Paso made a contract to tap the PNW line, which enabled the latter to completers financing and contract with Westcoast for the Canada supnlv. If the mer ger is completed. El Paso will hold, a virtual monopoly on the suooly of natural gas at wholesale in the Far West. The deal is to be consummated through exchange of stock, and is subject to approval of stockholders of both companies. , In another merger affecting the Northwest stockholders of Long-Bell Lumber Cnmnany and International Pa birXbTnpanvnratTfT(d the consolidation . of the former with the latter.

The FTC is making a similar effort to reverse the merger of a Bellingham pulp concern with Scott Pa per Comnanr.

It had "everything." including victory, though the one-point edge was perilously thin and was gained only by hard playing and a lucky break in a pass interception. - "Victor now over Washington, Washington State, California and UCLA. Oregon State is favored for the Rose Bowl bid. but it has Ida ho and Oregon yet to play, with the latter al ways a strong cftntender. If QSC gets the call, , it will be its first appearance in the New Year's day classic since 942. Then, due to. the orders of Lt. Gen. Dewitt, the game could n't be played at Pasadena, and had to be plaved in Durham, North Carolina, against Duke, OSC winning, 20 to 16. Iowa, which defeated Minnesota Saturday, appears to be the conference choice for the Midwest opponent at Pasadena. For OSC the battlecry now will be: On to the Rose Bowl. As governor Bob Holmes w!U. undoubtedly give a push to the State Highway Commission on a bridge across the Columbia, at Astoria. In fact Gov. Elmo Smith has given it a push already. The ferry service now provided is not adequate in rush periods as during the summer vacation season. To add another fer ry would increase the operating expenses.. Astorians argue that if the state would build a bridge and absorb the operating deficit for a number of years, the bridge in time would be self-supporting from tolls, so why continue ferries with operating expense never ending? The estimated cost of a bridge is $.10,000,000, which isn't chickenfeed even in these days of fiftv cent dollars. This is a project which calls for independent engineering-economic appraisal before authorization. Oregonians still like Ike, but not as well as in 1952. The Eisenhower lead over Steven son this year was 70,682, while in 1952 it was 150,236. Oregon Republicans pan clasp hands in sympathy with Kentucky Democrats. They have lost two U. S. senatorships, too. prepared far hlht.' He has his own special edi torial quirks he dislikes certain words, notably the word "chal lenge." He is surprisingly pe dantic - about grammar, and he strongly resists using' the first person singular.' These editorial prejudices persisted in 1956, al though the President was dis tinctly less resistant to the first person. ' But in 1956, candidate Eisenhower was far less a sim ple editor of his speeches, and far more the originator of his own campaign line. . .. : ' He would stride np and dowa hit office, ticking off the points he wanted te make with hit characterittic abort, aharp fea ture, i Hughe and ethers ef course proponed ideas ef their ewa, but the Elsenhower Imprint wai far mere indelibly fixed te hit 1956 campaign thaa la 1952. Partly this was simply because the 1956 Eisenhower is far better informed than the 1952 Eisen hower, who had great gaps in his knowledge, especially in do mestic matters. In the last four years, the President has acquired the habit of reading the news papers much more carefully than previously he even reads the letters to the editors, and often draws the attention of his staff to a letter that interests him. Far more important, of course, has been the hard educational pro cess of the Presidency, the most difficult cram course in the world. But most Important ef all, the experience ef the Presidency hat glvea the President convictions where before there were vague theories, and above all a confi dence la himself at a political trader which was lacking four years ago.

W-- A - " kl ml s Swing To Result in Reevaluation of Ike's Electric Power Policy By A. ROBERT SMITH . Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON The defeat of ex-Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay by Sen. Wayne Morse ' (D-Ore.), along with a general pattern of Democratic congres sional election gains in the West, has convinced high officials of - the Eisenhower administration that -they must now revamp the administration's electric power policy in order aj, to have it meet , & , with public ap proval in .the western states. A revision of i the "partner- tbtpi p o,w i -- policy, if not an outright scrap-( ping jot it, has! already been! , ordered and is expected to be Robt. Smith carried out before Congress con venes Jan. 3, informed sources have disclosed. Vice President Nixon is under stood to believe the controversial power policy cost the Republicans heavily in the west in their un successful attempt to win enough seats to control the new Congress. .Secretary of Interior ' Fred A. Seaton, who inherited these poli cies when he succeeded McKay last spring, is said to agree that a revision is needed. Both Nixon and Seaton did much election campaigning in Hie western slates ' this fail in behalf of local GOP congressional candidates7. Presumably policy changes will be a question for cabinet discus sion shortly. The first clear Indi cation of any fundamental change In policy are likely to be made in President Elsenhower's stale of tbe union message In January. The impetus for this policy re vision stems directly from the outcome of key congressional con tests in the West, especially the Pacific Northwest where Demo crats won their most signifi cant victories. Specifically, these contests were . In- DtTKtm,-WfrcTeWeiCa y"lhe ex-cabinct official who ran on the record of his resource develop ment policies, was defeated by Morse, one of the most outspoken critics of those policies; and where two Republican congress menReps. Harris Ellsworth and Sam Coon, both of them cham pions of the administration "part nership" power policy were de feated by Democrats who were equally critical of that policy. Ia Washlngtoa atate, where Gov. Arthur B. Langlle, a ttaunca advocate ef this power policy, waa mowed under by Sen. War ren Magnuma (D-Wash.); and where the Republicans lost a seat ia the Mouse from the re-tource-eonscieut Southwest sec tion of the state where the Co lumbia and Saake riven join. In Idaho, where " Republican Sen; Herman Welker was unseat ed by a Democratic newcomer, Frank Church, after a tough cam paign in which power policy fig ured prominently. . In - addition. Democrats won senate seats in Nevada, Colorado and Arizona, while Republicans held onto their seats only in Utah and California. In contests for. House seats. Democrats knocked off a total of seven Republicans In the West and held the line on all their incumbents. Administration officials realise that la the past four year they have lott the great measure ef political Influence they gained la the Went during the 1952 Elsen hower landslide. After that elec tion. Republican! held a majority ef the House and Senate teats from the WestJS te II la the Houte and 12 te II la the Senate. But the 1954 and 1956 elections have drastically changed this pic ture. Now the Democrats hold a majority of tha western senatt is zyi v SaiWlluV " ilAflMtMMMlil DROUGHT BREAKER to Democrats seats, 13 to I, and the GOP mar gin of control over House seats has dropped to 32 to 25 Looking ahead to the elections of 1938 and, more importantly, of 1960 when Eisenhower will not be on the ticket. Republican officials recognize that they must start now to woo the West with re source policies that are more favorably received by the major ity of western voters. - - Time Flies FROM STATESMAN FILES 10.

In the last one of the three on proposition one, you' are inclined to blame; the Democrats for the 45 per cent surtax. I met with both House and Senate tax committees and I know pretty well what hap pened. Farm and Labor groups and at least some of the Demo crats thought 30 per cent surtax would be enough, but the big boys wanted to pour it on, so as to make the people sales tax conscious. Wanting to save the Referen dum Is not based on tax legislation only. In 194? the Leg islature passed Senate Bill 99 which Governor SneU vetoed but it was passed over his head. The Grange referred it to the people, who killed it by a vote of 242,100 to 173,004. Only three Senators supported the Governor Hilton, Thompson and, believe it or not, Douglas McKay. That was one - time he voted for the people and against the Idaho Power Com pany. Three Senators are one tenth of the Senate. I just wonder if these so called Board of Direc tors in Private Business could get away with something like that. Since many of the sponsors of Senate Joint Resolution No. 4 in cluding our Governor are plan ning to take a vacatinlirJatfr uary there will no doubt be a different atmosphere in the legis lature some of which may even drift way back to Washington.

Mark Hatfield, newly elected secretary of state. -latfield, addressing the annual banquet of the Oregon Young Re publican Federation, said "t h e important thing is to look forward to the rebuilding of the Republi can Party rather than stewing over mistakes of the past." The former dean of students at Willamette University said that to regain its losses the Republicans must: 1. Rebuild with idealism not upon organization or person- . -alities alone but upon what the individual citizen expects of his government. 2. Seek out young, intelligent, " articulate" candidates for public and party responsibili ties who are in step with t h thinking of their fellow citizens. 3. Translate Eisenhower's "Mod ern Republicanism" into a con structive and progressive .prn? gram for the people of Oregon.
