WORTHY AND WELL QUALIFIED ; Selection of Governor Douglas McKay to be the next 8ecretary of the interior in the Eisenhower cabinet has not been entirely unexpected but it is nonetheless gratifying. The position is one which calls for rather special qualifications and theso, it should be apparent, Governor McKay possesses. As the top executive of a western state he knows first nana no small 'part of the vast area with which the Depart ment or the interior is concerned. In his experience as gover nor, and before that as a state legislator over a long period he has accumulated background, information bearing on the problems of the department, He has strengthened this back ground in the conferences he has held with other governors .. of the west. If not ready made for the job he is at least Better prepared Dy tar than many a man wno nas gone irom state or local office or perhaps from no office at all, to meet high national responsibilities. Beyond such preparation as he has gained as governor of Oregon, Douglas McKay has a demonstrated capacity for development. This is most reassuring. It removes, we think, any question whichcoulr.1 possibly be raised as to his fitness. As ne nas grown in the governorship he will gain stature in the cabinet. ;:.:,..';' . ..-. ;.. Two more qualifications are possessed by Oregon's governor. They are not only qualifications but essential re- quirements. One consists of a very exacting set of ideals (including complete honesty) regarding public service by the individual; the other is health and (also demonstrated) endurance. All in all, he has what it takes to do a better than average job. . ! To be "perfectly frank about jt, Senator Guy Cordon would have been our first choice for the position, In him there was a man ready made for the job, one. who, with his long Washington experience, both before and since becoming a member of the upper house, could have taken-his place at the secretary's desk and started functioning, practically without briefing. Guy Cordon's work, first as the representative of Oregon counties having special interest in lands admin istered by the Department of the Interior, then as a lawmaker representing an entire state where most of the phases' of Interior administration.are included, had become an authority on reclamation and on public lands. The very values that he would have presented as a cabinet member were, however, as (important in a senator; perhaps even more important in a senator who had earned the highest regard, from his colleagues and whose seniority as well as attainments had advanced him to a place of great influence in the senate. To his state the standing of Guy Cordon had become all the more significant since that of Oregon's other senator had virtually ceased to be. Al things considered, it is probably as well that Dquglns McKay should go on to the cabinet and that Guy Cordon should remain to fill with in creasing distinction his senate position. There, it is hardlv necessary to point out, he could be replaced only in a matter of years and there is an incredible amoilnt of work to be done now. ' . si It is ;by one of the oddest coincidences that Governor McKay's successor will be Paul L. Patterson. Those who are unwilling to accept the explanation of coincidence, which after all, is not explanation, may call it Fate or Providence. Patterson, extremely capable member of the upper house in the Oregon, legislature, president of the senate beginning with the 1951 assembly, was ready to' retire from public life and had not been a candidate for reelection this month. Until this year he would have ceased to be a member of the senate immediately on the election of his successor. Consequently he. would have ceased also to be president of the senate. But a constitutional amendment, referred to the people by the 195,1 assembly, was passed overwhelmingly at this same election. It extends the terms of outgoing legislators to the first Monday in January following the voting. Specifically it ex tends the terms which otherwise would have expired on November 5 to January 5, 1953. An earlier constitutional amendment, enacted by the people in 1946, had provided the lino of succession to the governorship upon the governor's death, removal or resignation. It placed the president of the senato first in line. Should Governor McKay withhold his resignation until after January 5, Paul L. Patterson would, of course, cease to be a sonator and president of the senate and, when the senate-. organized, its new president, who will probably be JMigeno I'j. Marsh of Yamhill county, would become eligible. I lie speaker ol the house is next in line. Governor McKay lias indicated that ho intends to leave around the first of the new year and the suggestion is that he will give up the gover norship soon enough so that Senator Patterson will succeed him. One thing is apparent. While coincidence or Fate or Providence, as you choose, has arranged the circumstances which point to Paul L. Patterson as Oregon's next governor, it is Douglas McKay, next Secretary of. the. Interior, who, by the timing of his resignation, makes the decision. "Al low Me to Introduce Myself" Washington Column Br peter toson (NEA WeWunfltan Correwwrvfanll WASHINGTON (NEA) The development of atomic power by private enterprise lor industrial and commercial use presents the new President and the new Con gress with a problem just as ex plosive as the A-Bombs or H bombs themselves. The reason Is that the present atomic energy law makes a Hat prohibition against private owner ship of facilities' for producing fissionable materials. When this law, fathered by the late Sen. Brien McMahon of Con necticut, was passed in 1946, the big idea in Congress was to . give the U. S. government a complete monopoly on atomic energy. This was to apply to the raw materials that went into manufacture of uranium and Plutonium, the fis sionable materials themselves, the plants In which they were pro cessed or made Into bombs and, all patents relating thereto. Now, s(x years later, the pic ture has changed. The U. S. mon opoly is gone. Russia and Britain have bombs of their . own. The prospects for International control of atomic energy production for peaceful uses have dimmed al most to the vanishing point. Private Industry is clamoring to get in on the atomic energy act, either as a short-range or a long range proposition. Also, the U. $. government s Atomic Energy Commission seems to be switch ing its viewpoint somewhat. Maybe it isn't such a good idea for the government to have this atomic energy .monopoly. Maybe the great, competitive free enter prise system could find new. ways to purity uranium and make It into plutonium. Maybe it could be do this at less cost than the rov- ernment.lays out in its multi-bil- .lipn-dollai! p(ants. Maybe the right way .to do this BICMS7 LIMITED TIME ONLY Assessor's Quiz i'nii ihtmiiiihI propi-rlv lux bp paid for the month ,,r ogx-i-iil ion only In tlm fvrnl it business rinses be-fori- the i-iul of the year or a farmer sells his personal property during (lie luxitlile year?

MacKar- OIL HEATER EASY TERMS would be to turn all patents and processes over to private indus try, selling the present government-owned and operated plants, letting the government buy uran-' ium and plutonium from the pri vate companies that would use the, atomic energy to develop power. Before any of these things could .be done, however, the Mc Mahon atomic energy law would have to be changed. And this shapes up as a potential knock down, drag-out fight that would make the fight over original pas sage of the law seem tame by comparison. . What is involved here Is a fun damental philosophy of govern ment. The question is how the forces and products of atomic en ergy may be used for the great est good to mankind. ; Perhaps the answer will be found in .a combination of pri vate and public ownership, as In the electric power Industry today. From a more practical stand point, there Is an added economic question. The prices of fissionable materials are now so high the capital Investment costs for plants In which to process them are so great that atomic energy Is not competitive with other sources of power. Suppose Congress should decide to let private Industry have access to fissionable materials for the de velopment of power. To make this power competitive with other elec tric power, Congress would have to authorize the Atomic Energy Commission to buy back the plu tonium produced at a price so high that it would be a subsidy to the private power Industry. This would put (hat Industry on the horns of the neatest dilem ma ever devised. For years the private power Industry has fought public power as unfair competition and a subsidy to the government's preferred custom ers. From all these factors It can be seen what a nice fight the new Congress has ahead of it, trying to resolve this atomic riddle.
