When one lists the GOP hopefuls, should
Oregon's Mark Hatfield be included?
Within a month after the Demo.
cratic convention in 1956, when he
missed by a hairlash of becoming the .
vice presidential nominee, John Ken
nedy had started his campaign for the
presidency.
That was four years ago.
Kennedy's success practically In
jures that no Democrat need to have
presidential aspirations for at least
eight years. Kennedy is young and
healthy. There Is little doubt but that
he will be the nominee again In four
years.
But for the Republicans, who are
on the "outs," the situation is different.
Which Republican, or Republicans
will now start campaigning to win his
party's top spot four years from now?
And eight years from now?
It is obvious that Nelson Rockefel
ler was and Is a leading GOP conten
der. He may be "the" leading contender-Many
will say that Richard Nixon,
at age 47, Isn't through. But we don't
believe this. Nixon Is a political fatal
ist. If he comes back for another try
at Kennedy In four years, It will be a
surprise.
So this projects Rockefeller into
the leading role. Many, Including this
newspaper, thought that he should
have been the Republican nominee this
year. He wasn't, however, and he still
has a long road filled with many stum
tiling blocks before he can win the
nomination in 19G4.
Rocky's first major problem is get
ting reelected as governor of New York
In 1962. He may find this difficult, bas
ed upon his failure to deliver New York
to Nixon. If he loses, he may be out of
politics. If he wins, of course, he will
probably receive the GOP nomination
by acclamation.
Another potent factor In 1964 for
Republicans will be Barry Goldwater.
Goldwater has to be given consid
eration. He is the spokesman for the
large conservative segment of the par
ty. And he has a substantial national
following. If Rocky isn't the GOP
nominee In 1964, Goldwater could easi
ly be.
We doubt if either will be able to
unseat Kennedy in 1964. Of course, a
war, especially a "police action" type
war, could make the difference. Should
the U.S. become involved in a shooting
war during the next four years, it could
be disastrous for the Democrats, as
they well know. This would give the
Republicans something even better
than a "Hoover depression" to talk
about.
But let's say there Is no war, which
of course, none of us expect. Kennedy
as the incumbent, would have a built
in advantage over any GOP nominee.
If he performs well, and if times are
reasonably good,' he should be able
to get reelected.
Well then we move up to 1968. And
here we come a little closer to home.
Many things could cut Rocky and
or Goldwater down during the next
eight years. Then, who would the Re
publicans turn to?
Mark Hatfield!
We've broached this idea to some
of our friends in both parties. Some
think we're crazy. And some believe
it might be possible.
Of course, Hatfield has several
hurdles to overcome in the next few
years. And he could be sent to the side
lines himself. But right now, among the
Republicans we've seen in action, he
should be considered as a "comer."
And, in case readers think this
newspaper is trying to run Hatfield
for president, they are wrong. We're
just doing some political projecting. It
might or might not bo worthwhile.
Hatfield has to cither run again
for Governor In 1962, or face Wayne
Morse. He must win to keep himself
alive politically.
And, he is a definite possibility as
a vice-presidential candidate. There is
also a possibility of a Rockefeller-Gold-water
ticket.
At this stage, by omitting Nixon, it
seems that the top three Republicans
nationally are Rockefeller, Goldwater
and Hatfield.
It may be in error to rank Hat
field in the rarified air of major league
politics. If this is based upon nolhing
more than ability to get elected, he
should be considered.
Eight years is a long time awav.
So is four years. Many tilings can hap-
pen. Hut somebody, as did Kennedy,
is probably already doing some ad
vance planning.
An answer to price fixing
Public agencies requesting bids for
supply contracts are being Increasingly
bothered with the problem of identical
bids.
Identical bids from widely dispar
ate companies are an almost sure sign
of price-fixing agreements among the
companies. The public agencies, how
ever, can do nothing about it and so
they hold drawings to determine which
of the Identically bidding companies
gets the cont'-act.
The Bend City Commission In re
cent years has had tills problem in
awarding Its bid for asphalt supply.
Every major oil company Bubmits an
Identical bid.
Now a purchasing officer for the
city of Chicago comes up with his nns
' wer. He says pick one company at
random, and gives it the contract year
after year.
After a while, this officer explains,
the other companies get mad, and it's
possible to Induce price-cutting com
petition. Perhaps this should be tried In
Bend.
Humor from others
He: "Darling, since I met you, I
can't eat. I can't sleep, I enn't drink.
She: "Why not?"
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Rockefeller got catcalls,
jeers in his own state
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON Gov. Kelson
Rockefeller got some jeers and
catcalls in his home state while
campaigning for Nixon, but took
everything with a smile. Outside
one suburban shopping center, a
crowd of youngsters surrounded
his car as big as the mob which
threatened Vice President Nixon's
car in Venezuela. While not vio
lent, they were so anti-Nixon that
a cop had to escort the governor
of the state back to his limousine.
More pleasant was a greeting
given Rockefeller while shaking
hands in a New York subway.
"How does it feel to bo rich,
governor?" asked one good-look-
mg girl.
"Fine," shot back Rockefeller,
"how does it feel to be good-
looking?"
Bone Yard of Military
Legislation
Now that the election Is over,
the nation can get back to one of
the biggest problems it faces
national defense and saving mon
ey. With more than two-thirds of
the budget going for military ap
propriations, any real saving has
got to come there.
It so happens that a charming,
quiet-spoken solon from Georgia,
Sen. Dick Russell, has become
one stumbling block to increased
efficiency in military buying. It
also happens that another Geor
gian, not so quiet, but dedicated
to military efficiency, Rep. Carl
Vinson, is opposed to him. These
two Georgians sit as chairmen of
two vitally important committees,
the House and Senata Armed
Services Committees.
Here are three chapters In the
Inside story of how Uie taxpayers
are losing money as a result of
the Georgians' conflicting viewpoints.
Chapter 1 Congressman Vin
son of Georgia passed a bill
through the House compelling
the Defense Department to go
back to competitive bidding on
military contracts. Ever since the
Korean war, the Pentagon has
been "negotiating" contracts, us
ually to certain preferred com
panies, without competitive bid
ding.
But the Vinson bill quietly died
In the committee of another Geor
gian Dick Russell. He wouldn't
let it out of his Armed Services
Committee.
Chapter 2 Congressman Vin
son also put a law through the
House last year to tighten the
renegotiation of missile contracts.
These contracts have been let on
a negotiated or cost-plus basis to
some of the biggest companies in
the nation, and Vinson wanted the
government to have more power
to come back to the contracting
companies, after the job was
done, and collect excess profits.
When the House passed this bill
It went to the Senate where it died
in the Senate Armed Services
Committee. The other Georgian.
Dick Russell, would not permit
action.
Chapter 3 Vinson also passed
a bill which tightened up restric
tions on influence peddling. It was
a weak bill, and didn't go any
where near as far as Congress
man Eddie Hebcrt of New Or
leans urged In ordor to prevent
military officers, just retired from
service, from coming back and
getting contracts from their old
buddies.
However, the bill, weak as it
was, went to the. bono yard of
military legislation The Senate
Armed Services Committee and
died there. Senator Russell told
Inquirers that it wasn't needed.
Russell did not call on other
sonators for a vote on those mea
sures. Ha put his own word and
judgment against that of another
Georgian, long experienced in mil
itary matters, and also against the
votes of 437 members of the House
of Representatives.
Influence at Work
Meanwhile, at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, here is what has
been happening.
Mai. Tom Miller, a reserve of
ficer, retired from active duty
with the Air Force last Decem
ber, and shortly thereafter went
to work for Instruments for Indus
try of Long Island, which manu
factures important classified in
struments used-by the Air Force.
In his old job, Major Miller was
assigned to air research and de
velopment at Andrews AF base
near Washington where he work
ed on a secret project called QUC
12B.
In his new job with Instruments
for Industry, Miller is assigned to
selling instruments to the A I r
Force for tins samo project (JKv
128.
When I talked to T. E. Hunter
at Gentile AF base nt Wright
Patterson Field, he acknowledged
that Major Miller had been there
representing Instruments for In
dustry on procurement matters.
"Have you looked into Air Force
regulation 30-30 which forbids re
cently retired officers from hand
ling procurement matters on
which they worked immediately
before their retirement?" I asked.
"No," replied Mr. Hunter, "that
is handled bv those up above.
When I called Major Miller he
read me a letter of clearance he
had received from Air Materiel
Command stating that he could
not handle "any type of nreotia-
tion or litigation." Major Miller
interpreted this to mean that he
could handle procurement mat
tors, and without passage- of the
sell, he may be right
Air Force regulation 30-30 ap
pears to specify otherwise. It
states: "When a person acquires
or expands his professional know
ledge in some particular field
while in the eovernment he is en
titled to use such professional
knowledge in pursuing his liveli
hood after he leaves government
service, so long as he docs not
within the two-year period speci
fied by the statute (18 see USC
2-18) employ such knowledge in
connection with a specific matter
with which he became directly
connected while in government
service."

Argentina feels
industrial
growing pains
By Jamet R. Whelen
UPI Staff Writer
BUENOS AIRES (UPI)-Argen-tina,
like many another country of
the modern world, is feeling in
dustrial growing pains.
A recent study showed that by
1967, the country will need half
a million new skilled workers, but
J the schools at present rates will
turn out less than hall that num
ber. Hand In hand with that shortage
goes the critical lack of techni
cians and engineers.
The two could seriously cripple
the country's effort to industrial
ize, symbolized by a recently
opened $600 million steel mill,
booming oil production (up 33 per
cent in the past year), clans to
I expand the nation's road net-
work, mushrooming petro-chemi-!
cal industries, and motor vehicle
' production.
Government Earmarks Fundi
In greater Buenos Aires alone,
for instance, there are at present
260,000 skilled industrial workers
and only 23,000 students in the
technical and vocational schools.
This year, the government has
earmarked 160 million pesos
(about $1.93 million) in the educa
tion budget for vocational schools,
but this is less than two per cent
of the overall education budget
and only one-tenth of what the
state-run railroads alone are ex
pected to lose this year.
Another part of the problem is
awakening student interest in jobs
in the mechanical field such as
auto mechanics, tool and die
work, draftsmen. The same study
showed that in the province of
Buenos Aires, 8,146 students were
preparing for "white collar" jobs
as secretaries, bookeepers, etc.,
while the 28 vocational schools
combined enrolled only 10,264 stu
dents. Engineers Leave Country
On the professional level, the
shortage of engineers has been
worsened by an outflux of scarce
"brains" to such countries as the
United States, Mexico and Canada.
The shortage is especially acute
in the petroleum and electronics
atomic energy fields.
In almost every case, the en
gineers give the same general
reasons: Higher pay, better facil
ities and greater chance for recog
nition of their work outside the
country.
Two men have led the battle
to check this trend: The country's
only living Nobel Prize winner,
Dr. Bernard Houssay, and Dr.
Risieri Frondizi, brother of the
president and rector of the Na
tional University of Buenos Aires.
Both have repeatedly called at
tention to the problem and pointed
up the dangers in it for Argentina.
