Speaking of organizations, the Americans
for Democratic Action need assistance
Some time ago in this space we
mentioned the use of glittering general
ities which have made the American
Civil Liberties Union, a very useful
organization indeed in this country, a
bad name in many minds. This brought
to mind another group, the Americans
for Democratic Action, which is too
often unfairly characterized as a group
which is attempting to pull this coun
try to the left.
Perhaps Oregonians hear more of
this organization than do residents of
most states, since our senior Senator,
Wayne Morse, is a long-time officer in
it.
Actually the ADA has had as its
purpose and a purpose which it has
fulfilled very well the pulling of the
country toward the center. The pulling
occurred at a time when there was a
serious drift toward the extremist left.
It was the ADA, not the John Birch
Society, or the Liberty Bells, or the
Committee for Constitutional Govern
ment, or any one of another dozen
right-wing groups which took on the
Communists when it was a tough job.
In a discussion of the ADA the
other day, the Eugene Register-Guard's
Bob Frazier put it this way.
It wns tlio ADA which mixed Into Iho
anti-Communist fight in Hie place and at
the time that the fight was crucial in this
country, night after World War II the do

quite active H wns making inroads into
tlio lalxir movement. Into "peaco" groups,
into organizations interested in various
social reforms. In 1048 there appeared Hen
ry Wallace's tragi comic Progressive party,
a group of muddle-honds who did not know
they were being used by the Communists.
At about the time the Progressive party
was formed, a group of tough-minded liber
als formed the ADA, Their aim was to
drive the Communists and (lie parlor pinks
Father's den
That family which used to live up
on the hill moved a few weeks ago to
their new home, the one the bank built.
Included In the original plans was a den
for Father, just a little place he could
call his own.
Wonder of wonders, it stayed in the
project, even In spile of some financial
adversity at the start of the project.
And it's there yet.

When the family first moved into
the house there were a number of proj
ects which kept Father from using the
den. Some furniture had to be built.
Humor from others
Slopping a policeman on the street,
an 80-year-old lady said, "I want to
report that a man came up and kissed
me while I was standing on this corner."
"When did this happen?" the offi
cer inquired.

out of the labor movement and other organ
izations they had infiltrated They succeed
ed, to a large degree. Since those years,
the Communist influence in most big unions
has been slight or non-existent. The ADA
group, as much as any other, may be
credited with thwarting the aims of the
Wallacilcs.
Thus we can list the ADA as among
the organizations which fought effective
battles against the Communists. The John
Birch Society still has to prove that it
does anything besides sow hate, fear and
suspicion. The Birchers talk big. But the
ADA did the job.
Other differences exist, too. The ADA
is not a semi-secret society, taking orders
from a mastermind, reading its political
beliefs out of a blue book. It has not allied
itself with armed goons who boast tiiat
they are prepared to swoop down and take
the law into their own hands. It does not
encourage its members to spy on neigh
bors and teachers. It does not support
violent changes In the American tradition
of government. It does not accuse of subver
sion all who disagree with its admittedly
liberal position. The main effect of tlio ADA
has been to pull tho country together, not
to pull it apart.
If we must continue to use the old "left"
and "right" concepts in describing political
groups, and if we must find a balance on
Iho right for the left- leaning ADA, we
should not look as far out as the Birch
group. It would be fair to look at respon
sible conservatism, say at tho kind espoused
by Senator Dlrksen and Representative Hal
leek or the late Senator Taft. Those gentle
men, like the members of the ADA, repre
sent one side, moderately far from the
centcrist position of tho White House the
past few years. To find tlio balancing
group for the Birch Society, we must
search far to the left of the ADA, at least
as far out as the old Progressive party and
maybe farther.
Some of the old furniture needed re
finishing. The family had no furniture
for the den, so the desk, typewrit ci
table and bookshelves had to be built.
There were pictures and mirrors to be
hung, and so forth.
So Father moved into the den
rather gradually. Now he's in, and very
happy, thank you. The den is forty feet
and three walls away from the televi
sion set and no matter how loud the lat
ter is turned up, it can't reach the
distance. It's almost as far away from
the radios in the rooms of music (?)
loving daughters. The telephone is close
enough, but the bell turns down so you
can hardly hear it ring.
Slowly but surely the library is
emerging from its packing boxes. The
guns and fishing tackle are put away.
The pipes are In their rack.
And Father is quite happy to date.
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Rep. Whalley puts GOP
friends on his payroll
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON - Congressman
J. Irving Whalley of Wmdber. Pa
has a unique and interesting rcc
ord. While contributing to many
worthwhile charities, he also
seems to think that the U.S. gov
ernment is something of a charit
able institution.
He pays about $30,000 a year of
the taxpayers' money to people
wno aon i worn in nis washing
ton office, Including one Pennsyl
vania newspaper editor who gets
$6,000 and three local GOP offic
ials.
Congressman Whalley, a genial
soul, is replacing one of the top
Republican members of the House
of Representatives, the late Dick
Simpson. Whalley is a banker,
auto dealer, and one of the
wealthier members of Congress.
He doesn't hesitate to dig down
in his pocket for worthy causes
and recently contributed $10,000
for basketball equipment for the
youngsters back home.
He is also not averse in digging
into Uncle Sam s pocket to pay a
largo office payroll. While he is
entitled to a congressional pay
roll, tnose wno draw uncle am i
money are required to work for
it by doing jobs in Washington
for the voters back home. They
are not paid to promote publicity
for a congressman or help him
get re-elected.
On Congressman Whalley s pay
roll, however, is an interesting as
sortment of salary - drawers sel
dom if ever seen around his Wash
ington office. They include:
Olm Horton, an editor of the
Broadtop Bulletin of Saxton, Pa.,
ho is hardly ever seen in Con
gress, yet is carried on Whalley's
payroll at $6,000 a year.
Clark W. Rodger of Hoovers
lle, Pa., Republican chairman
of Somerset County, who gets the
top salary in Whalley's office of
$10,260 a year. This is considered
sure way to get GOP re-elec
tion support.
Robert A. Evans, Republican
chairman of Franklin County,
who gets $4,200 a year, which
should Insure GOP support in that
county.
Alvin C. Walker, former GOP
chairman of Snyder County, who
receives $4,000 annually from the
taxpayers. This should be a help
keeping Snyder County behind
Whalley.
This isn t all. Whallev has still
another employee, Gilda Lesko,
ho is paid $4,800 for not work
ing in Washington, though she re
portedly does work at Whalley's
district" office at Windbcr, Pa.
It's nice work if you can get It,
but some Pcnnsylvanians in areas
which are depressed wish that
Congressman Whalley would have
more of a staff working in Wash
ington to promote business for
western Pennsylvania.
Gen. Le May Obeys
Gen. Curtis Le May, the cigar-
chomping Air Force chief, gave
his staff gruff orders last week
not to carry on an undercover
campaign against civilian leaders
for the B-70 bomber.
Secretary of Defense McNama-
ra had privately accused the Air
Force of lobbying behind his back
for the supersonic bomber. While
he didn t question Le May s loyal
ty, he felt that some of Le May's
subordinates were working
against their civilian chiefs. Le
May demanded to know who, but
McNamara offered no names.
So the gruff Air Force chief
told subordinates sternly that
they had better not play any un
dercover politics. He insisted that
the Air Force views on the B-70
should be stated only to the prop
er committees of Congress. He al
so ridiculed rumors that he would
resign if he lost the fight for the
B-70.
As a soldier, he said, he would
accept the verdict and obey the
orders of his civilian superiors.
Troops for Vietnam
There won't be any public an
nouncement, but the U.S. Army
is secretly recruiting volunteers
from the two American divisions
now stationed in Korea, to fight
in South Vietnam.
Several dozen infantry veterans
and intelligence specialists have
already been signed up. Theoreti
cally, they are supposed to train
South Vietnamese soldiers in anti-
guerrilla tactics. Their Instruc
tions, however, are to teach by
example in actual combat.
Several American fighting men
have already parachuted into the
jungle with South Vietnam forces.
John McCormack Gripes
Speaker John McCormack has
complained privately that it's not
his fault, but Kennedy's, that the
House of Representatives is be
coming unmanageable.
The Speaker told friends that
the House simply won't accept all
the Kennedy program, vet he
can't get the President to set min
imum goals and say what com
promise legislation he'll settle for.
McCormack charged grumpily
that Kennedy is more interested
in making a political record than
in passing bills. Many congress
men complain, however, that it's
VcCormack's poor leadership
that is responsible for the snafu
in Congress.

"When men differ In opinion,

the advantage of being heard
by the public." Benjamin
Franklin.
Plans outlined to make
COC area's cultural hub
To the Editor:
During the past several months,
upon mentioning to various peo
ple that I teach at Central Ore
gon College, I have been told:
'Well, I'd like to take a course
or two at the college, but 1 don't
think I should iust go up there
and register for a class." Why
not?
Central Oregon College is a
'community college," a college
which exists to serve the com
munity. While the college is al
ready serving the community by
giving its young people a high
quality of education and training,
the possibilities do not end there.
One other possibility is the furth
er education of adults in the com
munity. Our courses offer train
ing in manual and business skills,
science and mathematics, liberal
and fine arts, nursing and home
economics. Our staff are well
trained and skillful teachers, and,
though their standards arc high,
usually anyone with normal in
telligence, interest in the course,
and willingness to work can do
well in any course he takes. Nor
mally, a high-school education is
required for college work, but
many adults have continued the
process of self-education to the
point where they are ready for
some college courses (often a test
will determine the individual's
ability).
We at Central Oregon College
have many plans for the future.
On our own campus, the possib
ilities for making the college the
cultural hub of Central Oregon
are unlimited, but our present
concern is with an immediately
untapped source of community
service further education of
those adults who have the ability
and desire. Our registration date
is Monday, March 26, 1962, from
fivo to 10 p.m. in the Bend high
school cafeteria. If you think we
have a course that interests you.
we'll be glad to discuss it with
you. Hope to see you there.

English Instructor.

'Carpetbagger
reference said
misunderstanding
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Rich
ard M. Nixon's recent reference
to President Kennedy and U. S.
Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy as
"carpetbaggers" was a misunder
standing, the former vice presi
dent's press secretary said Sun
day. Sandy Quinn said Nixon's com
ment did not mean the Kennedys
were not welcome in California
on nonpolitical trips.
Nixon, in a campaign speech as
gubernatorial candidate in the
Long Beach, Calif., area Friday,
referred to the Kennedys' visit
and said, "We welcome them.
We're going to show these carpet
baggers a thing or two."
Presidential Press Secretary Pi
erre Salinger, in Palm Springs
with Kennedy, said he knew of
no one who considered the Presi
dent of the United States a car
petbagger. Quinn said Nixon felt California
welcomed nonpolitical trips by the
Kennedys and wanted them to en
joy the scenery and the climate.

heavy financial losses and bring
publication in line with "modern

MacNeal said Die Post would

other week, instead of weekly,
during the period between July 4
and Labor Day. The first two is

the last two December issue at

"loss of advertising revenue has
been the largest single factor in
our temporary inability to show

"This has stemmed partly from
