ADLAI ON THE BRICKER AMENDMENT
President Eisenhower in his opposition to the Bricker
amendment to the United States constitution to take away
from the chief executive his constituional powers of treay
making in foreign affairs and give it to congress and the
48 states, has received support from an unexpected source,
Adlai E. Stevenson, titular leader of the Democratic party
and itscandidate for president in the 1!52 campaign. At
Chicago Stevenson issued a statement saying:
"I hope President Eisenhower will stand firm against this ill-considered
attack on the constitution which few of our people yet understand.
"I hope he will stand firmly for the preservation of the integrity of
his office and its indispensable powers.
"The proposal by Senator John W. Bricker (R., Ohio) to change the
Constitution, is a dangerous, a radical and unnecessary proposal. It
is dangerous because it would cripple the president and his secretary
of state in the day-to-day direction of our myriad transactions with
foreign governments, and at a time when ... the very survival of the
free world depends on prompt, effective action in our foreign affairs.
Let us not paralyze the president's initiative in the conduct of foreign
affairs in order to guard against some hypothetical danger."
Stevenson added lawmakers should be very cautious
about "tampering" with the constitution, the "need for it
has not been demonstrated" and it would give back to the
states the power to nullify treaties which "the states gave
up when they adopted the Constitution." .
Stevenson summed up the issue of the Bricker proposal
very well in his 600-word statement, the valid objections to
it and proved himself more liberal and a better statesman
than many Republican and Democratic congressmen. It
is not a question of party politics but a vital issue for the
welfare of the nation and the stability of its government.
G. P.
LABOR WINS FIRST COURT TEST
That controversial section
act, which so many thought
went through the -legislature
in its first test jn circuit court at Grants rass.
Labor has been anxious to get this section before the
courts and has won the first round. Judge O. D. Millard
held the section in conflict with a labor act passed in 1940,
with previous Oregon court decisions and with the first
amendment to the U.S. constitution, which bans legislation
aimed at interfering with freedom of expression.
As Judge Millard pointed out, his decision is not final
The loser is sure to appeal
whose decision will be final.
' Many who wanted a law to limit the more extreme activ
ities of labor unions thought section 17 went too far. The
governor did, for one, and he signed it with the greatest
reluctance. Now we shall see
eays.
Whatever its decision, the
asked to revise the act next winter. However, the subject
is so controversial that the legislature may be as reluctant
to act as congress is to overhaul the Ian-Hartley act,
which everyone agrees should be overhauled, but hardly
any two agree on just how.
RASH BREAKS OUT IN SPAIN
For some reason not immediately apparent the Span
iards were "feeling their oats" in an international way.
Spanish students are demonstrating on the familiar but
well worn theme of "we want Gibraltar, which Britain has
held for mor than 200 years. A nasty dispute has been
worked up with France over relations of the two countries
with African chieftains, a delicate matter no American un
derstands or wants to, but which seems important to Euro
pean powers trying to rule these unpredictable people. ,
Protest has also been voiced over the proposed visit of
Queen Elizabeth to Gibraltar on the way home from her
round the world tour. A throat to suspend traffic between
"the rock" and the Spanish mainland has been raised,
which would cut off the jobs of numerous Spaniards em
ployed by the British authorities there.
The series of incidents doesn't make sense from a ra
tional standpoint. But the poverty stricken Spanish peo
ple are probably having one of their usual rough winters
and the dictator, Franco may find it helpful to divert
their attention from their own privations to "foreign
devils." It's an old trick that seems still to work.
A UNION WITH MILLIONS TO INVEST
Dave Beck's powerful Teamsters Union caused a stir the
other day when it begun acquiring large mortgages on I
property in Seattle. Probably there were some nervous
folk up there who saw the union leader arriving on a cold
winter day to' foreclose the mortgage and turn the occu
pants out in the cold.
Beck soon explained, however, that no such situation
was in the making. The union just had several of its 31
millions of reserve funds kicking around in banks through
out the country, drawing little or no interest. And a labor
union with $31,000,000 is in much the same position any
body else with such a sum would be. It wants to get some
interest on its money and at the name time keep it safe.
Beck rightly judges good Seattle real state mortgages to
meet these requirements fully.
Th incident is a reminder that big labor is very big in
deed nowadays and that as it becomes big and rich it will
function much the same as any -other institution does
under the same conditions.

WASHINGTON MERRY
Pearson Talks to Man Who
Proved Red Atomic Thefts
By DREW
SOMEWHERE IN CANADA
Igor Gouzenko is an animated,
sometimes jumpy little bundle of
nerves who had the courage to
go to the Soviet Embassy in Ot
tawa, walk past the NKVD
guards, enter the barred door of
the secret code room, and care
fully stuff into his shirt 109 docu
ments revealing the No. 1 de
velopment of the postwar world
namely, that Russia had stolen
the secret of the atom bomb.
It was 'lot on that September
evening of 1045 just after Hiro
shima, and beads of perspiration
trickled down Gouzenko's shirt
as he carried the 109 documents
to the Ottawa Journal, then to
the Minister of Justice, then to
the naturalization office, then
back to make the rounds over
agnin. But no one would be
lieve, at first, thai a Soviet spy
ring had stolen the most price
less secret known to the Allies.
"This story is too big for us,"
they said. "We can't say any
thing bad about Joe Stalin."
This was the same reaction I
got, incidentally, when I broke
the story of what Gouzenko had
done a few weeks later.
Gouzenko on TV
Kor a good part of two days
last week I talked with this dyn
amic, nervous litttc man, first in
private home, whose owner 1
till do not eim-ely know and
vhosc identity I could not re
veal even if 1 wanted to; then
dined in a private club which 1 1
couldn't possibly find again, then ;
huddled in the kitchen and liv-'
ing morn of a little farm house
cluttered with television cameras,
electric lights, electricians, peo
ple setting up sound tracks and
making sandwiches and coffee in
connection with the first TV in- j
terview Igor Gouzenko has' ever j
given.
Gouonko granted the inter-'
view riispiic the fact that he was !
reluctant to testily publicly m
forc the Senate Internal Security
Committee, even wearing mask,
and only conferred with the sen
ators in private. However, I per
suaded him that it was important
that the American people know
the exact altitude of the Russian
high command toward war with
the United States. Naturally he
wore a mask while before the
cameras.
"Today our allies, tomorrow
our enemies!" was the toast of
his chief, Colonel Zabotin, top
Russian spy in Canada: and Gou
zenko has not forgotten it.
Hot in the same breath he made
it clear that Zabotin was only
human, that he had no great love
for.the Soviet and that even Za -
botin might have followed in
Gouzenko's footsteps and bolted
to the free world, if given suf
ficienl inducement. i
Gomcnko takes most seriously ,
his obligations as a Canadian
citizen. Ho cherishes the certif-i
icatc of citizenship given him by j
Viscount Alexander of Tunis,
then Governor General of Can-!
ada. And among other things he
warned that the only thing Rus
sia respects Is armed force. '
"If you let down the bars," he'
emphasized, "if you in the free
world relax, if you do not keep
a strong Army and Navy, then
you encourage war. The only i
thing the Soviet respects is
force" I
Life In Danger !
Gouzenko glances nervously
over his shoulder as he talks, 1
looks out the window, keeps an ;
eye on passers-by w hen he walks I
down the street. His actions are ,
those of one who knows that he ;
is the most-wanted man in the .
world s far s the Kremlin is '
concerned. j
Ho knows what pains the Krcm-1
THE ELEPHANT CALL
- GO - ROUND
PEARSON
tin took to reach all the way to
Mexico City to murder Trotsky.
He knows also that the Kremlin
must necessarily make an exam
ple of him in order to discourage
others in Soviet military circles
with espionage secrets from doing
what he did.
So you can't blame him for look
ing over his shoulder, and peering
through the window at the ap
proach of an automobile. '
The Canadian Royal Mounted
police was the agency which came
to Gouzenko's rescue during those
hectic September days in 1945
when both the Ottawa Journal and
the minister of justice turned him
down. And the mounted police
have been his friends ever since.
One of them serves as a guard
for his house, day and night, work
ing as a gardener. Incidentally
this gives Mrs. Gouzcnkd wonder
ful baby-sitter service. Mrs. Gou
zenko, by the way, is an extremely
beautiful woman of about 28 and a
great asset to her husband.
It was Mrs. Gouzenko who, when
Igor hesitated to make the fateful
break with Uie Soviet embassy in
the summer of 1945. urged him to
do it in a way that would help
the country they hoped to adopt
Canada.
The Gouzenkos had a two-year-old
child at that time, and she was
six months on the way to having
another. But she walked beside
her husband through the hot
streets of Ottawa that day, load-
ing the two-year-old, while they
tried to persuade Canadi.v,v author
itics to take custody of the 109 1
documents before the Russian cm-
i i: j .1.. -j .
Dassy discovered the loss and as-
sinated nil three.
Mrs. Gouzenko has visited New
York, likes the United States and ;
Americans. Her husband has never j
been outside Canada since he left '
the Russian embassy nine years ;
nco. It's considered too risky for !
him to travel; besides, he loves
Canada.
Gouzenko has just written a
novel to be published in April. It
is called "The Fall of a Titan''
and is the fictionized story of
Maxim Gorgy. Thoso who have,
read the manuscript say that the
man who transferred from the
lied army to military intelligence,
i because lire could code and decode
! telegrams rapidly, now shows
I such promise as a novelist that
I an entirely new chapter may open
j in his hitherto not so humdrum
i career.

Molotov Living Up
To Advance Notice
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON UV-Secretory of
State John Foster Dulles long ago
paid a high professional compli-
r'cm to Vyacheslav M. Molotov,
the Russian foreign minister.
Molotov, he said, was quite a
diplomat, one of the best.
And Molotov, whose name means
hammer, isn't letting him down,
now that the two men are meeting
in Berlin with two other foreien
ministers, Britain's Anthony Eden
and France's Georges Bidault.
As soon as the conference gong
sounded Monday Molotov began
throwing left jabs. His footwork
was pretty good, lie was a fastcrl
counterpunchcr. And today, near
the end of the first round, he
wasn't even sweating.
The Big Three had tried for six
months to pin Molotov down tn
what the diplomats call an agenda:
a 1, 2, 3 list of things to talk
about when and if they got togeth
er. If he agreed, the Big Three
would have him pinned in a cor

Cordon to Run
Albany Democrat-Herald
It is good news, and not only
to harried Republican party lead
ers, that Senator Guy Cordon will
be a candidate for re-election this
year. It has taken considerable
pressure of a mild type to per
suade Senator Cordon that he
ought to continue in an arduous
post at the sacrifice of his pri
vate affairs and at some risk to
his health. After 10 most, useful
years in the senate, however, he
was the obvious choice for the
Republican . nomination, and no
dangerous opposition is likely to
face him in the primary.,
Mr. Cordon-has not been a
speechmaker and has not sought
the limelight in the senate, but
he has won the respect of his col
leagues through his earnest hard
work and his co-operative atu-
tudc. Recently he won acclaim
for his work in leading the fight
for the passage of the offshore
lands bill involving wide areas
of undersea oil. His floor man
agement of that battle was mast-
crlv. and his presentation of the
case was excellent. Passage of
the bill may have been due in
no small part to his work.
Since the loss of his committee
places by Senator Morse, Mr. Cor
don has been heard oftener in
the senate. lie has impressed his
colleagues not only with his gen
eral ability but with his unexcel
led knowledge of Orcgon s varied
interests and needs.

POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER
Youngsters Have so Much to
Entertain Them; Enjoy Little
By HAL
NEW YORK (AP)-Sometimes I
feel sorry for the younger goner
ation.w They have so many things to
ontortain them thev often don't
know how to enjoy themselves. It
is so frighteningly easy lor mem
to get lost today in a wilderness
of pleasures that can harm them
as much as help them.
To grow up in any period of
the earth's past has always been
a stern and lonely task. Many peo
ple who manage to grow up phy
sically never do so emotionally.
And mentally they merely grad
ually merge from first childhood
into second childhood. All they
have learned from living they
could write on a postcard.
A child should walk the world in
wonder. Maybe I am getting to be
a middle-aged fuddy-duddy, but
it seems to me that our complex
civilization today does as much
to blunt a child's natural sense of
wonder as it does to perpetuate it.
Manv children today learned
from television the proper way to
hold a gat belore mey learn me
alphabet. Isn't it too fast a step
to go directly from "Mother
r.nnsp" to "Dragnet?" Shouldn't
there be something in between?
Many a person at 40 can still
remember the tremendous thrill
of finding an orange in his stock
ing on Christmas morning. A
whole orange for himself: And
what a terrible problem it brought:
Would the delicious ecstasy of eat
ing it balance the sadness of know
ing it was all gone?
Naturally a child today could
hardlv be expected to show awe
over the gift of an orange. Oranges
are commonplace. They are taken
for granted. But what would awe
many of today's pre-teenage so
phisticates, so used to miracles
they don't know what a miracle
is? If Santa Claus left them a
slice of moon cheese, wouldn't
thev take that for granted, too?
Children used to entertain them
selves. Many modern mothers now
complain to their husbands at
nightfall: "I'm all worn out try
ing to think up things to keep the
children" entertained." But why!
should any healthy child ever have
to be entertained by its parents,
except perhaps on rainy days or
1 periods of illness?
Simple joys are better for young
iuuiua mail vuiiipiA yivaauiva
and for older minds, too, for that
matter, in the present jukebox
age how many of our children
still know the delight of simple
things? How many lose the path
in a mechanical jungle? Isnt' it
more fun for a kid to throw a
rock at a tin can on a fence, than
to mow down dear old grandma
with a toy atom ray gun?
But the thing I pity the young
sters most for now is their dwin
dling interest in reading. A book
is the opening portal to the vast
hall of the human spirit; libraries
are the shrines of the mind. No
1 child as well as a book. .
Somerset Maugham, who turned
80 ,hjs weck once wrote.
"Intelligent people, after the age
of 30, read nothing at all." j

Salem 31 Years Ago
By BEN MAXWELL
January 29, 1923
A bill had appeared in the leg
islature forbidding any teacher in
a public school to wear a relig
ious garb of any sort.
Professor J. C. Nelson of Salem
high school had told Senator Ed
dy, author of Bill 23, and the Sa
lem Chamber of Commerce that
"it is more important that we
produce future citizens who will
be able to do something to solve
our economic problems which is
the crying need of the day, than
that they be able to write the
finest Spencerian hand or spell
every word in the dictionary cor
rectly.
F. A. Ackerman and Mrs. Ack
erman owed their lives to a dog
that had barked in time to arouse
them when the Yaje Laundry and
O; K. Rooming House above it
were gutted by fire''.
Max O. Buren, home furnisher
at 179 North Commercial street,
had a selection of patriotic pic
tures suitable for the home,
school and office.
Said a Capital Journal edit
orial of 31 years ago: "Before
the legislature proceeds very far
in its reform of state institutions
and bureaus, most of which are
managed with an efficiency that
puts tne legislature to shame, it
should reform itself and intro
duce a little common sense and
economy into its own affairs."
Heads of the late Czar Nicholas
of Russia and his family had been
preserved in alcohol in the Krem
lin at Moscow, said Captain Firm
in, in charge of the Russian refu
gee fleet at Manila.
