He rode in Portland's Rose Festival parade Saturday and then addressed the Democratic party faithful at a $25 a plate shindig Saturday night. He got quite an advance billing, in which a rip-snorting "give 'em hell Harry" type of reminder of the 1948 campaign was suggested. It was even hinted that he had some sensa tional expose of President Eisenhower up his sleeve. If one wanted to be snidish about the Portland speech he could say thai the mountain labored and brought forth a mouse. But it wouldn't be approriate, for two reasons. First, Harry is no mountain. If anything of that sort nrougni iortn a mouse it was a foothill. And we don't think Harry labored. The speech hnd all the earmarks of having been prepared by some of our local Demos, for local consumption. Harrv didn t get a very good break on timing. Me spoKe only a day after the appropriations committee of the Demo raii. Hn,, nf Representatives reduced appropriations for Northwest dam Droiects the president had asked for, indicat Ing that there must be a difference of opinion on the wisdom r,t their further expansion within the Democratic party. For that nnrtv controls all congressional committees. The ex-president declared he saw a plot, in which Kisen hower was being "used," to "destroy publicly financed power projects in the United States. It was a statement without any basis whatever, in which Harry was "used." Possibly he didn't read It before delivery. This administration does en courage private enterprise to pick up part of the power ex pansion load, but it has neither advocated nor made any move to destroy or abandon the public power projects. It is even supporting new ones, though slowing the pace somewhat in . the interests of budget balancing and tax reduction. Harry was fulsome in his praise of Wayne Morse, Charita bly overlooking what Morse used to say about him when he was president. The Corvallis Gazette-Times noted the other day that Morse, speaking there May 9, 1952, said of the then President Truman: "The creator didn't give him the ability to deal with the problems he has to deal with as president." The Gazette-Times said that Morse then lauded General Eisenhower, comparing his superior intelligence with that of Truman. But of course, that was In the year 2 B.B. (before the bolt). What do you suppose they really think of each other now?

Four or six more of the 75 injured are expected to din; The accident occurred Saturday when a flaming German Mercedes-Benz, driven by a Frenchman, Pierre Lcvegh, hit another racer during the annual 24-hour spoils car race, cafoomed across the track and plowed flaming into the crowd packed 20 deep against the barrier, the driver being among those killed. Despite the tragedy, the race was carried to Its conclusion, with Mike Hawthorne and co-driver Iver Back of Britain winning in a three-liter Jaguar at a record-break ing average speed of 107.007 miles per hour.

No other place is as restful. Only in a cemetery do the dead generally have to pay an admission fee while the living can enter and leave free. The older cemeteries of the East ern section of the United Stales arc usually well-cared for. But tbey are also often primly trimmed and patterned and have a caught- as-it-is-forever look, as a flower imprisoned in glass docs. the two cemeteries here are somewhat careless and unkempt, They wear their grass long in stead of trim and tidy. They have a frontier down-to-earth expres sion, if you can think of ceme teries as having individual ex pressions. And of course they do- just as trees and people and pigeons do.

Tragedies attend these auto races, no matter where held. Only on Memorial Day was a driver killed on the Indianap olis speedway, one of several in past years. And a few weeks before similar tragedy marred the Mexican international races. In these race., drivers frequently lose control of cars in rac tlons sponsoring or opposing budg et recommendations unless august permission comes down from the benighted budgeteers.

Now, almost three years after the election, how much of the President's great popularity might be said to be due to the bi partisan magic in me Eisen hower name? In order to answer this ques tion, the Institute devised a novel approach. Interviewers across the country were as signed to ask tw'o question! 1 of a ' Eisenhow Americans.

The pay-off question, then, would be: How many GOP voters would cross party lines and vote for Mr. Eisenhower if he were running on the Democratic .ticket instead of their own? Those in the survey were next asked: "Would you vote for Eisen hower if he were running on the one hand, and manual workers on the other.
