SENTRY OF THE NEAR EAST
IKE REBUKES RABID PARTISANSHIP
President Eisenhower in his Wednesday press confer
ence in effect rebuked some of his own party leaders by
expressing disapproval of sharp partisan attacks on the
Democrats by Republican orators, linking their party with
communism. He would have them quit calling Democrats
sadists and similar epithets.
The president told the newsmen that he was not much
of a partisan himself and he thought any great display of
political partisanship was out of line in times like these,
Besides because of the slim democratic majority he needs
Democratic votes to get his program through congress in
which both parties are faction split.
Mr. Eisenhower told the press that he expected his own
official family to show a tolerance for Democrats and
added he had no control of congress. He also said it
would be untrue, foolish and politically unwise to charge
that Democrats were tinged, with treason rnd were all
security risks.
Mr. Eisenhower's attitude will vin popular approval be
cause he senses the fact that he is president of all the
people, Democrats as well as Republicans, was elected by
a majority of the voters, a majority his party failed to
attain in congress. He is the first president since the
advent of the New Deal neither a rabid partisan nor a poli
tician in the orthodox sense whose stock in trade is abuse
of the opposition and exaltations of his own party. He is
too sincere and honest for that.
Ike's remarks were a sharp rebuke oi the poison pens
of GOP who were emulating the campaign the Democrats
waged under the direction of the late Charles Michelson,
director of publicity for the Democratic National Commit
tee in the Koo.sevelt-Hoover 32 campaign, who admitted
he was short on ethics himself, but; out to win for the
party by fair or foul means. Michelson in his memoirs,
published in 1944, outlined his tactics as follows:
"Nobody has ever been able to formulate a political code of ethics,
despite the fine altruistic language of party platforms, the habit has
always been to smite the opposition regardless of Marquis of Queens
bury rules, whenever and however tho opportunity offers." G. P.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
FCC Files Reveal Pulling
Of Wires by Cowles Bros.
FACT VERSUS CLAIM
Stephen A. Mitchell, whom for the 99 percent who do
not know, is the current Democratic national chairman,
breezed into Portland the other day with this blast:
"The present Republican administration doesn't know
where Oregon is all they know is that they've got McKay
and that he is a liability."
Mitchell probably wouldn't know about this even if it
were true. We've a pretty good idea who told him to say
it, and so he did. It sounds quite catching, unless one
looks beyond to the facts.
On the same day Mitchell made his statement the
Capital Journal carried a front page story of Eisenhow
er's endorsement of a plan for U.S. and city of Eugene co
operation in building the Cougar dam on the McKenzie
river there. The U.S. will supply funds for the flood con
trol feature of the dam, while thet city will provide the
power facilities, which it needs. Secretary McKay has
been actively supporting this project, for which bills have
been introduced by Senator Cordon and Congressman Ells
worth, both Oregon Republicans.
The day before Mitchell spoke Secretary McKay was'
able to announce that his department has effected salary
savings amounting to ?18,000,000 a year since McKay
took office a little more than a year ago. Savings like
this through the administration are making the tax reduc
tions possible.
Mitchell would probably consider this bad politics, an
outright violation of the tax and spend, elect and elect
principle of government to which were subjected for
20 years prior to Eisenhower's election. But we very
much doubt that he will find a majority of Oregonians to
agree with him, or to think Doug McKay is a liability to
anyone except the opposition.
ANOTHER 'KICKBACK' CASE
We welcome the conviction of California Republican
Congressman Ernest K. Rramhlett by a federal court jury
in Washington, I). C, on a charge of defrauding the gov
ernment in a "kickback" case.
The evidence showed that the congressman had placed
a woman on his office payroll and kept her there for
seven months, during which time she performed no duties
and returned to the congressman most of the money she
drew, The maximum penalty is five years imprisonment
and flO.OOO fine. It is to be assumed that a prison sen
tence will be imposed, as in the case of Congressman
Thomas of New Jersey. The case will tie appealed, linimb
lett says, so final disposition will be delayed but probably
not altered.
Guilt, as has, been often and truly observed, is no re-1
upectcr of party lines. It is to be noted that in this instance j
the defendant is a Republican, member of the party which
controls the justice department that prosecuted him. The
case seems to have been handled soon after the facts came ;
to the attention of the prosecuting agency, and the reVults :
apeak for themselves. If this is something new and differ-j
ent from what had become the custom at Washington it j
is verv. verv much to the uood. I
The present administration cannot expect that all Re-1 ,'"-m "" TV m. '"i"
publicans will set the Democrats a pertect example of
exemplary conduct, but it can and should proceed vigor
ously against them when they get off base. This is the
way to uphold standards in public office and in the na
tional life generally.
WASHINGTON Buried in the
dull and prosaic files of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
is an interesting story of how
wires can be pulled in Washing
ton in this case by powerful
GOP publishers. If the FCC rec
ord had been made, two days be
fore, it's possible that Senator
McCarthy's man on the FCC,
Robert E. Lee, might not have
been confirmed.
For the ,'ccord illustrates ex
actly what Sci ator Monroncy of
Oklahoma talked ahnut when he
led the fight against Lee's con
firmation. In this case, the Washington
lobbyist r the Cowles brothers,
publisher.- of Look Magazine, the
Des Moines Register and Tribune
and the Alinneapolis Star-Journal,
tried to buy off a rival ap
plicant for a TV station. Simul
taneous!) he was warned that he
didn't have a chance because of
Eisenhower's friendship for the
Cowles brothers.
"The Cowles have done a lot
for Ike," 'James Milloy, vice pres

was quoted as saying, according
to the official FCC record. "The

The editor of the Medford Mail
Tribune expresses bewilderment
over the fact that Democratic reg
istration exceeds Republican
throughout the Pacific Coast and
still Republican candidates con
sistent win.
The editor asserts that the Dem
ocrats have practically no news
paper representation, which may
or may not be influencing the re
sults. Has it ever occurred to the M-T
editor that multiple thousands of
registered Democrats may not be
Socialists, five-percenters. Commu
nist coddlers for political pur
poses or world federalists'!! '
We personally know many regis
tered Democrats who have fought
the New Deal actively for years.
They have no time for the one
time Socialist who holds the high
est office in the Democratic party
in Oregon, the national committee
man. As to "newspaper representa
tion," the New Dealers through
the years have had the most news
space in the newspapers of the
Pacific Coast as they have had
throughout the nation for the
simple reason that Democratic
Administrations have been mak
ing the news for 20 years until
January of last year."
New s p a p e r representation
means little unless that represen
tation squares with what the
average American citizen believes
to be fact.
For instance, the Medford Mail-
Tribune certainly has been "news
paper representation" for the
New Dealers for many years. Vet,
its support of candidates for state
and national offices has availed
those candidates nothing. Jackson,
county registered Democrats, in
large numbers, have continued to
cast their ballots directly in op
position to Mail -Tribune recommendations.
No newspaper publisher or edi
tor should get inflated ideas as
to the effectiveness of "newspa
per representation.
The average voter cares little
for editorial recommendation in
political matters unless he has
confidence in the human being
making those recommendations,
which also must square with what
the voter believes to be the facts.

By HAL
NEW YORK (AP) The last
time I saw my six-year-old god
daughter, Nina, she was in pa
jamas and bathrobe on her way
to bed, her blonde hair brushed
long around her face, her blue
eyes languid with postponed sleep.
She came running to give me a
speciak good night kiss. Then she
asked impulsively, "Hal, can I tell
you a secret?"
Climbing up in my lap, she put
her arms around my neck, and
whispered in my car very softly
"I'm in love."
She told me this strictly in con
fidence, but you know how women
are. I always figure when they tell
you a secret they are 50 per cent
hoping you'll spread the word for
them, and 75 per cent trying it out
for effect to see whether or not
it is really a worthwhile secret.
Nina caught me off guard. I
won't say I was jealous. But I
had that half-empty feeling any
proud godfather gets when a gal
who holds a special niche in his
heart suddenly says she is in love
and means someone else.
"His name is Charles, and he is
wonderful," she said. "He is the
best reader in the first grade."
That can be pretty important to
a lady at six, a lady who enjoys
nothing more herself than to curl
up with a good solid book of nur
sery rhymes. When I asked Nina
if Charles liked her, she went com
pletely feminine.
"Well, he says he doesn't," she
said, and both dimples came into
view, "but I think he really does."
After Nina had gone to bed, I
began cautiously asking about
Charles and her father and
mother immediately laughed
aloud. Nina had whispered sepa
rately into their ears, too, how she
felt about Charles. Six or 60 I
thought, women haven't learned
the secret of keeping any secret,
particularly on the subject of love.
Nina's mother approved of the
romance, saying it was just right
for the first grade, based on her
own first-grade memories. She had
never met Charles, but understood
he was a young man of high char
acter and principle, although sub
ject to head colas in winter.
Nina's father said the only time
he'd known Nina to falter in this
very serious business of "being in
love" was right after Christmas.
Sighing deeply, she had told him
confidentially, "You know, daddy,
I was so excited about Santa j
Claus that I almost forgot about
Charles." It troubled her that this ;
was so.
Next morning when Nina awoke j
I asked her a little more about j
Charles. She likes to talk about ;
him. But was he the only boy in
her class that she liked?
She thought that over carefully :
before she said, "Well, no. Some- j
times I'm in love with Glenn. But
mostly I'm in love with Charles."
"Which one are you going to
marry?" I asked her. I didn't feel
the question was unfair. Nina has
always been determined that 1hc
only career she wants is to be a
mother like her mommy.
"Oh, neither of them," she said, :
as if shocked I knew so little about ,
hpr hpnrt "I'm niinn tn m,rii- '
Jody."
"Who is Jocly? I felt I was get
ting more lost every moment.
"Why Jody is the boy I knew
when we lived in Rome. He lives
in California now. But I've alwavs
BOYLE
been going to marry Jody ever
since I was three years old!"
That ended that. Now I'm a lit
tle confused myself, but then wo
men in love always did confuse
me.-
Somehow I felt sure that neither
Charles nor Glenn knew about
Jody, or were likely to anytime
soon. I guess, even at six, a smart
girl has learned always to hold
one secret in reserve or how
else would women have managed
to puzzle mankind since time began?

WHY THE 'PETTY' OFFICER
We suspect most everyone who ever wns in the Navy
or even looked at a ship from ashore must have wntulered
at nom time or another why the omtremely useful non
commissioned personnel of the Navy are called "pctlv of
ficers." Yet not until the other day have we noted any disposi
tion by anyone to do anything about this misnomer. A
Florida Democratic congressman told the House of Kepre
aentatives the other day that the Navy men do not like
the term and that he has written Defense Secretary
.Wilson about a chanjre.
Ordinarily we don't warm much to proposed changes of
old names but we go for this one. The petty officer isn't
petty at all and neither is his job. It is common knowledge
aboard ship that the petty officers could run the boat if
all the commisioned personnel dropped dead at once. The
chief petty officers, or "chiefs" as they arc called, are a
particularly vigorous, aelf-reliant, competent corps.

finally, when the Cowles lob

that Ike. who understood poli
