The Times pays the following tribute to Morse for his de
cisive victory in the wake of the Eisenhower triumph here:
"Through Ihe tense hours when we saw the Eisenhower victory
mounting, we wondered if Wayne Morse for all his brilliance, for
all his courage, for all in our opinion of his fundamental Tight
ness of political stand, could escape being obliterated in the hurri

Robert Holmes victory was considered by several the most
interesting feature of the Oregon election. The friendly Pen

' Political conquest of Iho Pacific Nnrlhwest has hecn Hie ohjec

years. During Ihe early days of Ihe second World War, 'ihe planner
of Americans for Democratic Action, envisioned a river hnsin
empire, Ihe Columbia Valley Authority, as a part of a scheme of
power polities. The Pacific Norlhwrsl was strongly Republican,
nut Ihe World War, providing npnnrtunily for improved industrial
ization nl Ihe area, made it possible lo stmt a migration of work
'ers from heavily Democratic centers of the Kasl into the Pnrifir

political agents to develop Iheniselves ns candidates and niso lo

the timber industry into Southern Oregon, previously a Republican
stronghold, with ihe accompanying migrntinn of workers, chiefly

defeated Sam Coon:
' "He staged a hard campaign lor Ihe second time and was able
to capitalize on the acquaintances made in the lirsl one Iwo years

v The Republican McMlnnville News-Register warns bolh
parties of their future problems. To the Democrats it says:
"A good many Democrats may reflect upon their own political

Every Saturday, Ray Tucker
answers readers' questions of
general interest on national and

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-"What
will be the result of the present

refer to the fact that Russia seems
to be abandoning her brand of
imperialism in central Europe,
while Britain and France embark
on an aggressive colonial program
in the middle east. Where will the
United States wind up?"
Answer: Nobody at Washington
can answer these qucslions, not
even President Eisenhower or
Secretary Dulles. They hope, of
course, that when and if the Eg
ypt - Israeli - Anglo - French
crisis is resolved, there will be a
return to the old order of a re-
patched western alliance against
Russia. They, of course, do not
yet trust Moscow's intentions with
respect to full freedom for the
satellites.
However, Ihere is an opposing
viewpoint, held by prominent olfi- j
cials within the administration and
students of foreign affair,. They
foresee a breakup of all postwar
ahngmcnts under which the no-call-
ed free nations accepted United
States leadership, while the cap
tive states remained under the
Kremlin's control.
Manifestation of New Status
That was admittedly on unnat
jral arrangement. Although they
needed our postwar aid desper
ately, Britain and France resented
their role as chanty recipients.

Historical Precedent
There is historical precedent for
these attachments and detach

associations. International rela

frozen.
For Instance. Russia and Eng
land were chiefly responsible for
Napoleon s defeat early in the 19th

later, the British and French com
)ined lo overwhelm Russia in the
Crimean war. European history
is full of these shulflings and re-
shuffhngs.

To the Editor:
Being aware of your paper's pe

the past election campaign I have
accepted your partisan editorials
in the same spirit which I accept
your comic strips.

voters of Oregon on the day after

Oregon has a registered Demo-

hower, Mark Hatfield, and Sig Un
andcr could have scarcely carried
Ihe state without Democratic sup
port, but they did win and by
large majorities. On the other
hand, the Democratic candidates
who won were elected by small
margins, approximating the ratio
of registration.

POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER
European Men Say U. S. Men
Spoiling Wives with Worship
By HAL
NEW YORK - What are you
doing to glorify your wife?
European men often say Amer
erican men foolishly spoil their
ladies, and that husbands here
virtually practice wife worship.
Tbjs talk infuriate American
wives. Not because it's'true (Ihey
only wish it werei but because it
isn't. They feel that if any hus
bands are practicing wile worship
in this country it must be a secret
vice. They see no public signs of
it.
The truth is Ihe complaint the
average wife makes most often
about her husband is, "He's too
inattentive. He takes me for
granted, just as he does the fur
niture. Nobody in America really
appreciates what it means to be
a housewife except another
housewife."
"The trouble with a husband is
that he thinks the courtship ends
with the honeymoon," a veteran
wife lamented. "After that your
day is supposed to be made if
he recognizes you and calls you
by your first name at breakfast.
"Romance? A husband's Idea
of being romantic is to send his
wife a get-well card on Valen
tine's Day."
Well, ladies, lhat mav have
been true before. But now hus
bands are getting more thought
ful. They're not only praising
Iheir hausfraus in public. They're
doing it in print and paying for
the privilege!
Last month in Miami Harry
Jobson surprised his wife on their
anniversary with a 12-by-25-foot
billboard poster. It showed him
kneeling in humble adoration "to
a wonderful wife who has borne
wnn me lor 20 years."
Recently Mrs. Carl W. Tran-
mam ol Springfield, Mo., while
scanning the classified ads of her
newspaper, was started to find
there a public announcement, paid
for by her husband, telling what
a great gal sne was.
The add. quoting the Biblical
proverb, "Whoso findeth a wife
findeth a good thing," said:
"I am responsible for all debts
and obligations of my wife. Mil
dred, both present and future,
and am more than happy to be
the provider for such a wife who
married me 25 vears ao tnrtnv
who has borne me four happy
children, all of whom are Chris
tians, and she has manifested
continuously such love, patience,
understanding, helpfulness, that
these have been the happiest
years of my life."
In praising a wife, docs it pay
to advertise? Trantham, a rail
road employe, found it sure paid
off in his case.
Mrs. Trantham was more
pleased by her husband's public
proclamation than she was with
Ihe silver anniversary gifts he
gave her a silver bracelet and
earrings, silver pen. and a chrome
silver food mixer. Even strangers
called up In congratulale her.
"1 received many comnlimpnic
myseu, iranmam reported later.
"Also a few bawling not from
husbands whose wives had read
Ihe ad and asked why didn't they
ever think of doing something like
that."

bands across Ihe country arc

putting similar ads in their news-
papers. When I reported this
j trend to my wife, Frances, she
said:
i "Some women have all the
I luck."
"Don't worry, I've got even big
' ger plans for you." I told her.
i "On our golden anniversary I am
1 going to rent an airplane and
have it skywrite in letters a mile
high over Manhattan: 'to Frances,
. a Igolden girl."
I "If I live lhat long and if you
remember the date," said Fran
' ces, unimpressed.
"Silly," I told her. "That's one
date I could never forget."
A little later Frances looked up
from the sock she was darning
: and asked casually:
j "Are we doing anything next
'Tuesday night?"
I "Yeah, watching the election re
I turns."
"But you don't have anything
special planned?"
"No, why?"
I "Oh, t sort of thought I'd like
to celebrate," said Frances. "II
happens lo be my 19th wedding
. anniversary. When's yours?"
Even with two people in it a
I room sometimes can get awfully
quiet.
Oregon Politieal
Setup Changes
Slaylon Malt
The rock-ribbed seat of Repub

as applied to states is very evi
dently passing.
Oregon's own switch to prepon

an example. Several other states

! in recent elections.
One big contributing factor to
this new development is an im
proved means of communication,
via easy highways, radio and TV.
All are powerful in wiping out the
colloquialisms long inherent to sec
tions of the nation. And as the
years unfold Ihis development will
progress increasingly as our great
federal highways are completed
and many American families, as
predicted, adopt trailer homes

Although the influx of southern
stales families inlo Oregon in re
cent years truly has been marked
ly influential politically, there is
another influence that must have
contributed somewhat in Oregon's
switch from Republican to Dcmo
crtic identification:
The young voters who grew up
under 20 years ot New Deal lead
ership. This year, with concerted drives
to acquire new political party
registrants, many young people
who hadn't bothered to register
were enrolled in the poll books,
and naturally as members of the
parly best known lo them.

parties are undergoing new re
alignments.
The democratic party is about
as dissimilar to what it was in
the early days of our country as
Wayne Morse and Douglas McKay
were miles apart in our own Ore
