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.

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

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.
