Bully for Mabel Ai the wife of a mm who has been in public life for many yean is mayor, it ate senator, governor and secretary of the in terior Mabel (Mrs. Douglas) McKay had plen ty of occasions .to . bite her lips over the ; charges that were hurled in his direction. She must have bit her tongue, too, to keep it from making tart rejoinder in defense of her husband whose inherent honesty arid de votion to public service she knew better than anyone else. So long, as Doug was in office, Mabel did refrain from tossing back f the. dead cats -thrown at him. Now -that he IrtHrt tif tffice the has thrown off the restraint of wifely convention (Mrs. Charles E. Wilson didn't wait til her husband was out of office), and hai written Columnist Drew Pearson from Mexico, where tney are vacationing, to "tell you what a liar you are in your statements '. . . regarding my husband." What Ignited Mabel's fury which no doubt has beefl building for a long time was a recent column of Pearson's which said "Mc Kay hung around" Washington for a week and then didn't get an invitation to the in auguration and left the night before a brok en and disillusioned man, to return to Oregon." ' . . Tnt facts? Mabel wrote that they had both a formal invitation to the Inauguration and tha personal invitation of the President him self. She mentioned that on the invitation of the Eisenhowers they shared a pew with them at the National Presbyterian Church on Jan. 6th, and accompanied them to the White House in their personal car. Later they had dinner with the Eisenhowers and sat with them In the presidential box at a symphony concert As for ducking out of town the night before the inauguration, they left ten days before, as they had planned. They didn't re turn; to Oregon, but went on an auto tour through the South and Mexico. As for the broken-down part, Mabel wrote calumniator Pearson: "If you could see my husband to day, I don't believe that even you could say ' he was a broken man he Is in the pink of health and spirits." - Bully for Mabel. Doug's detractors must now reckon on her before they spread falsa charges against her husband. Aa for Doug himself, he took his defeat manfully; and when he returns will be ready to pitch Into whatever business lies to his hands. trusting It does not have to be Implemented. Secretary Dulles has been given a hard time by Democrats on the committee. Sena- , tor -Morse accused him of Jelling "an' un adulterated lie." Senator Long of Louisiana called him a most "evasive witness.'' The gen eral complaint is that Dulles hasn't spelled out exactly what the scope of the resolution Is. Perhaps his lack of responsiveness is not due so much to intent or desire to conceal . as the administration's own uncertainty as to 'what the U. S. course in the Middle East will be. Many "iffy" questions may be asked, and Dulles doesn't want to be boxed in by commitments which might later prove em barrassing. This resolution does present Eisenhower with a "blank check," but con fidence is strong that he will not abuse this grant of power. We have come, partly by drift perhaps, partly by caution to the present stage. What remains is to pass the resdlution and hope it will be left dormant; and to continue press ing for a solution of the vexing differences which have risen in the Middle East and the world. Dulles Resolution Revised The redraft of the Dulles resolution to implement the Eisenhower Doctrine is super ior to the original text Offered by Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee it be comes more explanatory of U. S. purpose and less provocative. Instead of "authorizing" tha President to use force in the Middle East under certain conditions it defines our policy and states that the U. S. "Is prepared to use armed forces' under those conditions. The president remains the one to determine the necessity for using force. The new version carries the condition that request for assist ance must first be made by some nation for . protection against armed aggression from any country controlled by international com munism, and provides use of force must be consonant with U. S. treaty obligations and within the charter of United Nations. If we have to adopt this as national policy and spell it out this seems to be a satisfactory draft Already, we are sure, tha USSR has got our idea. With President Eisenhower asking for this expression from tha Congress refusal to pass the resolution would gravely undermine U. S. prestige and maka our policy exceedingly vague.. Under tha circumstances there seems little alter native now for passing the measure, then wmmmmmmmmBmmmmmmammi East Coast Dock Strike The 80 days of Taft-Hartley truce did not prevent a walkout on the docks of the East Coast. Though negotiators got close to agree . ment before the injunction period ended, the gap wasn't closed and the men quit their jobs. Now shipping is tied up from Portland, Maine "loTTamptbn RoadsrVirginia. This will para lvze shipping at those ports for as long as the strike lasts. No employer will attempt to use strikebreakers. Unless mediators iron out IbV remaining wrinkles the strike may last Ion? enough to cause real distress. Foes of Taft-Hartley will point to this as another evidence of its failure. However, all this act undertakes to do is to extend the negotiation period in hopes that the parties may conclude agreements. Neither the parties nor the country are any worse off now than they would have been if the strike had oc curred as originally scheduled. The law does not compel parties to, agree or prohibit workers from striking. Taft Hartley didn't propose that nor do any who are experienced in the field of labor rela tions. Freedom not to agree is one of the freedoms retained in a free country. In the case ot the dock strike the country hopes that readiness to agree is not long postponed. Editorial Comment NEW REPORT ON FALLOVT - A group of Columbia University scientists have made the lirst world wide study of the effects of Strontium-90, one of the dreaded components nf hydrogen bomb fallouts. They find that the con tent in the average man is one ten-thousandth of "the presently . accepted maximum permissible concentration." In other words, the danger of bone cancer from the testing of hydrogen bombs so far la so negligible as to be nonexistent. That, -indeed, as the scientists themselves say, is a "heartening conclusion." Strontlum-M is a product of nuclear fission that is radioactive for an unusually long time. Its parti cles arc first suspended in the air, and then slowly descend to earth, where they are absorbed into the soil and thence into plants on which man feeds. Thus it enters the human body and seeks out the bones. Strontium-90 is not the only fall-out danger. The interaction of gamma rays which affect the human genes, and consequently the reproductive process, is the other chief hazard, but it is exter nal, whereas Strontium-90 works internally. Much was made of these dangers Iff the recent Presidential campaign by Mr. Stevenson and on his behalf. The work of the Columbia scientists be gan years before this controversy and it is satisfy ing to note that their conclusions corroborate the data presented by President Eisenhower to the public at that time. The study was based on 500 samples of human bone coWcted from all five con tinents, and ranging in ase from birth to sixty. Thus a comprehensive idea of what risks are run by people all over the globe is obtained. , Although it Is a relief to know that testing H bombs has created no threat through Strontium-90, It would be foolish to forget for an instant that hydrogen bombs and their lethal by-products are still the greatest menace to the world ever put into the hands of (nan. It is essential that a fool-proof system of inspection and control of nuclear wea pons be put into effect. It would be dangerous for the United Stales to stop testing or producing if. the Soviet Union refuses to agree to a genuine hd enforceable limitation. Such limitation in various forms has been repeatedly proposed by this coun- try. Moscow has yet to show good faith by giving any of them honest consideration. Until this hap pens, it would clearly be too great a risk to aban don, even momentarily, the development of these weapons. But meanwhile, it is of sdme comfort to know that the danger of harm is so remote.

Dental Scheol Predictions involving the immediate future are always has ardous and particularly so when the uncertainty of economic con ditions and legislative appropriation policies are involved. More over, there is the very human characteristics of under-estimating the time schedule of program planning. Assuming, however, that present den tal school administration policy and sup port of the board of higher education are constant, we may expect some broadening of the undergraduate curriculum, increas ing student choice of subjects and free hours in the class schedule. Particular attention to dental care of the aged will be emprasized by a geriodontic clinic and internships and residencies through the. University of Oregon Medical School hos pitals and clinics established In several fields of dental services such as oral sur gery, oral pathology, and periodontia. Harold i. Noyaa At the level of graduate instruction, clinical graduate courses in pedodontia. orthodontia, and periodontia or oral pathology should be well organized. . Anticipating some assistance in increasing faculty, a creditable research program should be established. With good fortune one might expect a department 6t graduate dental education and research to be in operation. Postgraduate classes may be somewhat larger in (lumber and those given off campus such as Hawaii. Alaska or foreign coun tries extended. .Finally, a greater faculty contribution to profes . sional literature and material increase in grants and gifts should not be beyond the realm of reasonable expectancy.

But privately they will tell yao that as a tac tical political wtapoa lor rattling tha apposition or establishing a legislative beachhead, the mem orial Is a dud. Generally, a memorial from a laoialatnra it honored In tnrm' and cast aside in content. Like so many pieces of legislation in troduced by senators and repre sentatives who sit in Congress, as a rule they are dutifully re- J ferred to appropriate committees according to subject matter and there perfunctorily recorded by clerks in the committee annals for posterity.

Very problahly a memorial Is more effective in the negative. When a legislature memorializes Congress not to do something which some forces want to do say, building high Hells Canyon Dam, for example this is bound to have deeper impact upon the Congress if it is then championed by a senator from the state, than would a memorial, advocating such a project.

Meyers, former city park board member, was ap pointed as a member of the city planning and zoning commission by Mayor Robert L. Eldtrom. Mrs. Earl Snell, Mrs. Robert S. Farrell. Jr.. Mrs. Marshall E. Cornett and Mrs. John H. Hall were hostesses for a large tea given In honor of the legislative contingent at the Farrell. .borne . on North Capitol Street. " 25 Years Ago T ' Feb. IS. last Governor Julius J. Meier an nounced the appointment of an entirely new state highway com mission. The new commissioners are Leslie M. Scott. Carl Wash burn and E. E. Aldrich. ' Snowy streets came as a shock to Salem people who had yet th vision of the brilliant sunny day Just the day before. But snow there was and the nearer Port land a traveler got, the more snow, 40 Years Ago Feb. IS, 117 Announcement was made that th deed has been executed for the transfer of fifty-seven acres ' of Bush's pasture to the eity of Salem. The deed to the city is signed by A. N. Bush "and Lulu H.

(Legis lature in session.) and all that time you have had a good, honest California pension . now, within four months of 77, I am handed $43 a month as a reward for trying to be a good citizen. One has to live one life to, learn whether honesty and de cency really pay off in the end. ' Dad use to say "experience is a hard school, but fools won't learn in any other." Maude S. Davis, 1770 Broadway Tribute to Mrs. Pierce To the Editor: Many hundreds of Oregonians who have had the services of the Oregon State Library through the years will remember with much gratitude the late Cornelia Mar vin Pierce. Club women, students, house wives, teachers, anyone else who read had only to write to the library during her tenure and their requests were very con scientiously fulfilled. She took great pains to send the books that would help the most when a program chairman or student needed information on a certain subject. People who lived where there were limited library facil ities received great enjoyment from the books they received. At that time there were not nearly so many borrowers so people were assured they would get the books even if there were several names ahead of theirs. Her personal interest and effi ciency was brought to my mind several years ago when I met her in Dallas. I mentioned how much my mother appreciated the help she had with club programs, and she recalled her name and mentioned th town in Wallowa county- where- we lived at that time. Mrs. L. G. Allen 713 Uglow Ave. Dallas, Ore. union, required unions to be ac countable to members for all funds. When cases arose under this law the Supreme Court ruled against the constitutionality of certain provisions. In conse quence the whole law became a . dead letter. In 1947 employers made an other try -for protective legisla tion. A bill was passed defining and outlawing "hot cargo" and "secondary boycott." This aimed to prevent denial of service by a union not party to a dispute, and ti outlaw exercise of coercion gainst some firm not party to a dispute. This law - fell afoul of adverse court rulings and has become a dead letter. , In 19S3 the employer organiza tions spearheaded another drive fdr' legislation to put a curb on organized labor. Directed toward preventing "organizational pick eting" the placing of pickets in order to force unionization of employes the law sot up a div- ision of labor elections under the governor. It set up a system for , holding elections when employes could vote on choosing or reject ing a union as bargaining agent. Section 16 . guaranteed an em ploye free choice in selecting or rejecting a labor organization as his representative. . Section 17 made picketing unlawful unless the picket had been certified as the bargaining representative of employes. In a court test. Section 17 was thrown out. Now the House has voted to repeal the whole 1947 law which would put - state legislation-back on the 1933 level (where it has been most of the time since then). The Taft-Hartley Law of course gov erns labor relations for concerns engaged in interstate commerce. In speaking for the bill, Rep. Don Willner of Portland argued that the 1947 act had hampered rather than helped labor rela tions. I'm afraid, however, that his definition of good labor, re lations is a situation where un ions have amoJe elbow room and employers aW non-union em ployes no defense against organ izational picketing. Sponsors of the rencal hill nf. fered and the House passed. 55 ' io z, a mil sotting up a concilia tion service in the department of labor. We have had a concil iation board for years, though its activity has4een limited. It would be aboli.shed under this bill. In its place there would be a director of conciliation in the office of the state labor com missioner. His function would be Strictly to conciliate Hi The result .of Jhe two bills If enacted into law will be to limit state authoritv to mediation Th. only restraint on labor unions wouia oe general laws against coercion, intimidation and lence. Unions will be free to picket employers thoiiRh they may not have any members in the working force of the business picketed, as a weapon to compel unionization of the shop. As a practical matter this is a form of compulsion. Enactment of these measures will leave Oregon, as it has been most of the time since 193J, with labor laws definitely favorable to the unions. Those who don't like it this way may locate their businesses or seek their jobs elsewhere. School Reporter T .. . Sicred Heart Gives Party Better English By P. C. WILLIAMS 1.

Bridge on High Street Ready Soon A lot of people who had to get out of the habit of using South High Street's Fry's Hill for travel can resume 1 the prac tice soon. This was Indicated Thursday with announcement that the new bridge at north foot of the hill will be ready for busi ness about March 1. City Engineer Harold Davis said deck of the $64,000 concrete bridge has been poured and side walks and retaining walls com pleted. Work alio is being done on approaches of the apan, which replaces a wooden bridge that for many years covered Mill Creek at that point. , Davis said finishing of the High Street bridge completes most of the bridge program au thorized by city voters st last year's May election, A project still' pending is s span over South Mill Creek on S. 25th St. At the May election, approval was given a $140,000 bond Issu to put new spans at High, 14th, 13th and Lee Streets replacing sged wooden bridges. Already completed are a spin over Shel ton Ditch on Lee Street and span ning of North Mill Creek on N. 14th Street. . . Also recently finished was wid ening of the S. 12th Street bridge over Shelton Ditch. - . Another job now completed, said Davis, was street-widening in three areas a project mad possible by a $180,000 bond is sue which voters approved. The widening projects were Mission Street from Summer to the east city limits; South 12th Street from Mission to the south city limits; and Fairgrounds Road from Summer to Hood Streets. City crews handled the street projects and costs fell under first estimates, according to Davis. Blacksmith.
