' OPEN FORUM Our Pundits Out-of-Step Some of our newspaper columnist pundits, who know so much more about how United States foreign policies should be conducted than President Eisenhower, Secretary of State Dulles and those in charge of foreign affairs, that they berate the administration for "appeasement" for not carrying out a belligerent, policy that will eventually plunge the world Into a third, world war. Among their other proposals are the following: Why does not the United States and the UN call the Russian bluff and threaten to send "volunteers" for the protection of Hun gary? Why does the West not set up a puppet government like Russia has for Hungary and recognize the patriots as belligerents and their leaders as the rulers of Hungary? Why doesn't the United Nations send Russia ultimatum demand ing evacuation of Hungary and an Immediate cease-fire? Why does not the United Nations send a police force to Hungary on the ground that Russia has forfeited her claims under the Yalta pact, the real cause of Russian aggression? Cannot the U.S. or UN realize that such an aggressive policy means the liberation of eastern Europe and the Middle East from Commu nist typranny if the stand is made now to save Hungary? Cannot these pundits see that any such policy would insure war and an atomic war at that and probably wipe out civiliza tion and the United Nations was organized to prevent war, and President Eisenhower, in his recent election by a record majority was given .a mandate by the people of the United States to maintain peace? In diplomacy as in war, tyrannical dictatorships have an Im mense Initial advantage over democracies,, which are always divided initially and have difficulty in creating and maintain' lng unity and a certain amount of appeasement is necessary not only in effort to avert war but in maintaining unity. The present Suez canal crisis is due largely to action of Britain, France and Israel, all UN members, in invading Egypt as much aggression as the seizure of the Suez canal by Nassar, Egyptian dictator was. All of which Illustrates the difficulty democracies have in maintaining unity in policies. President Eisenhower deserves national support in his difficult task of averting the new threats of war with fair prospects of. success a most difficult task for he Is dealing with unscrupulous barbarians. The pundits' are out-of-step. g: p. ,'A .Governor's Home The prospective coming of another governor to Salem fo cuses attention again on the fact that Oregon is one of only 10 states that does not provide a home for its chief executive. Governor Holmes has secured an attractive house on the top of Candalaria hill, three blocks above the current "execu tive mansion" which Governor and Mrs. Smith bought farther down, probably believing, though they could not be sure, that their tenure in 'the Statehousc would be longer than it proved to be. They will be fortunate if they do not have to take a loss on the resale. The new governor is more fortunate than most of his prede cessors have been in finding an acceptable house that could be leased, without an agonizing period of hunting that was enough to take his mind off all his other problems. The fact is that Oregon, progressive in most things, has been unprogressive in this. We do not provide a home for our governors. We do for the presidents of our state institutions of higher learnings, the warden of the penitentiary, and the heads of some other state institutions. Hut a home for the gov ernor? No-sir-ee! Let him rustle his own. He s only a Dem ocrat or a Republican anyhow. Isn't it about time Oregon woke up to the fact that an Item for the purchase and maintenance of a home for its governors would be lost in a biennial expenditure of three hundred mil lions or so, and would be no more than justice to the men who are called upon to serve us, and their families? Almost all the other states do H and never miss the money. Why not Oregon? Here is a place where the upcoming Democratic legislature can make lis Republican predecessors look a little silly by tak ing a constructive step that lias been overdue for a good many years. What the School Boards Want The Oregon School Boards Association, meeting Saturday In Eugene, voted to seek a 50 percent increase in basic school support by the state to ?120 per census pupil, about half the cost of operating the average school district, and to impose a stale sales tax in order to make this possible. This vote was 53 to 20. The boards should secure the $120 or nearly that much, for thcro is a general agreement among the political leaders that the present $80 payment must be sharply increased. If not quite to $120, then almost. But the board members are unrealistic if they think a sales tax has any possibility of enactment during the next two years. The result of the vote on proposition No. 1 to empower the legislature to attach tho emergency clause; to tax legislation, and the election of a Democratic House of Representatives doom any slim chance a sales tax might otherwise havo had. The money for tho increase in basic school support, for an Increase to higher education and to numerous other slate operating costs, particularly salaries, must come from "else where." And the amount needed will be xlremely large, since both parties are committed to the repeal of the ill-fated (both for those who enacted and pay it) surtax. Where can all this money be friund? For virtually all of it thcro is noly one source, incomes of corporations and indi viduals. Let tho legislature search as long as it wishes; here is where It will end Its search, The taxpayer, who thinks he is suffering now, had better brace himself. Otherwise the school hoard members favored state grants to distressed districts for capital improvements, appointment j oi county superintendents, cancellation or teaching certifi cates of persons convicted of felonies, school district reorganization. Writer Assails Journal Faith Healing Story To tho Editor: On page two. section one of your Nov. 28 issue, under the caption: "Evangelist Not Able to Heal Self of Polio," you presented beloved Bro. Jack Coe as a person with less intelligence than a moron's half-witted brother just because he refused medical help and was car ried unconscious into a nospital then the very next day in a special editorial captioned "Harvey Was. a Hero . you presented Har vey Thurwoll Jr. as a hero be cause of his fight unto death under the auspices ol the medical pro fession. All of us offered our unsolicited prayers that if it be the Lord's will that God would spare young Mr. Thurwoll. The Lord refusing to do (hat directs our prayers now to the comfort of his loved ones. But where is your consistency in this matter? Docs one have to be a medical priest to perform this "final unction" before they can be intelligent and a hero? Isn't it just the other way around? It takes a great deal more courage to trust the Iord for healing until you pass out into unconsciousness, for in that case Bro. Coe trusted the Lord to the full extent of his abil ity until he became unconscious. I envy Bro. Coe s courage. 1 am afraid I could not show such spirit ual fortitude. In these two news Items you nrescnt trust lu God as foolhardl ncss, but trust In human doctors as tho acme of intelligence and heroism. Your caption "Evangelist Not Able to Heal" smacks of those early day religionists who said of Jesus as he hung on the cross dying: He saved others, himself he cannot save." . Aaron M. Scott, , 815Ji S. 12th St. Editor's Note The story com plained of was a. United Press dis patch Irom Lianas, lex. telling oi a faith healing evancglist described as gravely ill with polio, who was refusing medical treatment. The story expressed no opinion of his intelligence. The ' moron refer ence Is strictly tno letter writer s reaction to it. The Capital Journal does not render judgments on the potency of faith healing. Norblad Lost Original Home, Carried Present To the Editor: In an issue of the Capital Jour nal which I received today ir Washington, I note a letter from Edwin Soalbcrg, in which he com ments on the fact that. I lost my "boyhood bailiwick of Clatsop county" by over seven hundred votes and indicates mat it significant as to the esteem of the voters of Clatsop county lor Con uressmon Norblad." By the same token would this same reasoning apply in the "baili wick" of Jason Lee (Salem and Marlon County) where I defeated him by a majority of 7,500 votes. While Catsop county Is my "boy hood bailiwick." the fact of the matter is that Mrs. Norblad and myself sold our home there ten years ago and have naturally lost some of our former wide acquaint anceship because of the limited time in which we have had to visit there and the large turnover in population. Incidentally, in my first election to congress, when I was widely and intimately ac qualntcd In that county, I carried my then home town of Astoria by 11 to 1 and the county by a vote I In round figures) of 3,200 to 500. It should be noted that in Clatsop county the registration has re cently gone Democratic and that in the recent election, our Republi can candidate for senator lost there by 2,000 votes and the governor by 3,000 votes. I dislike writing this letter as 1 thought the political Icttcrwriting season was over for the time being but In view of the one published about me, I feel that this one is entirely warranted. - WALTER NORBLAD. P.S. It could bo coincidental but a check of the Salem directory indicates that tho writer of this letter is an employee In the build lng wherein my opponent in the Inst election has his office. Herter Soon to Join lk James Hagcrty, the president's secretary, revealed the other day that Governor Christian llertcr of Massachusetts will join the administration in an important capacity when his term expires next month. There was no revelation as to what place llertcr will fill lind It may not be known yet. but he is almost certain to enter the state department, llertcr was born In France of American parents and received part of his education in Europe. Ho is a high type man with a broad understanding of foreign affairs and an unusual capacity to harmonize dif ferences and get people lo work together. llertcr may become an Immediate advisor to the president on foreign policy. Ho may become under secretary of state if Herbert Hoover Jr. decides to return to private enterprise. Hoover is extremely competent in certain fields, but his back ground evidently does not qualify him for the lop place in the department. Hcrter's does and he may he groomed for it. John Foster Dulles is not expected to complete the second Eis enhower administration. -It will be recalled that llertcr was Harold Stasscn's choice for vice president. In which he promptly announced disinter est and later nominated Nixon at the Republican convention. His altitude then earned the gratitude of the administration which evidently intends to make him one of its principal mem bers shortly. Salem 46 Yrs. Ago By IIKN MAXWELL Dec. 3, 1910 Capita!

Lome ol "good goods" were advertising a In His Palm r Majority of Britons Now Say Eden s Policy m Egypt Right By GEORGE GALLUP (Director. American Inetttula of Pubtlfi Oplalonl PRINCETON, N.J. Majority opinion In' Great Britain has now moved to support Sir An thony Eden s policy in bgypt ana his personal position as Prime Minister has been greatly streng thened, the British Gallup Poll finds. For the first time since October of last year, Eden's Conservative party has gained a political lead in Britain. . Initial reaction of (he British Dublic to the action of England and France in Egypt, reported early in November, found the weight of opinion opposed to Ed- enV handling of the Middle East situation. Today the majority of Britons soy Eden was right. Greatest disagreement comes from members of the opposition Labor party, 63 per cent of whom express disagreement with the Prime Minister's policy in Egypt. Interviewing in the survey was completed just before Eden's health failed and he had to give up the helm temporarily to Mr. Richard A. Butler. Lord Privy Seal and Conservative party leader of the House of Commons, l-.den is now In Jamaica for a complete rest from overstrain'. Interviewers for the affiliated British Gallup Poll asked the fol lowing series of questions of a cross-section of adults throughout Great Britain: 1 "Speaking generally, do you agree or disagree with the way Sir Anthony Eden has handled t h c Middle East situation?"

Copyright, 1956, America! Institute of Public Opinion - Oregon Governor Needs a Home' Aitorlan-Budget The news that Gov.-Elect Bob Holmes has rented a house in Salem reminds citizens of Oregon once again that they are remiss in not providing an official home for the chief executive of the state. Most states have official gover nors' mansions, owned by the state government and maintained at state expense. Most states pub licize these mansions. Oregon ap pears penurious by contrast. The governor's home is inevit ably a quasi-public building. Cus tom requires various official en tertainments that the governor must provide, and It Is an imposi tion to require him to provide out of his own pocket a suitable dwell ing for them. t Democrats who will control the legislature and who no doubt are seeking ways to improve upon Re publican conduct of state affairs have a good chance to do so by remedying this long-existent lack.

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG Ike's Quiet Move Lets Reds Know the U.S. Means Business By RAY WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-In an obvious warning to Russia, Presi dent Eisenhower has unobtrusively staged a demonstration of Ameri can military might and purpose in the wake of the Suez canal crisis and Moscow's threat to send "volunteers" into the troubled area. Several seemingly unrelated maneuvers are designed to show the Kremlin that the United Stales is ready for war, if necessary, and to strengthen allies and neutrals. Eisenhower has also acted to as certain the accuracy of reports from Hungary and Poland that Russia's satellite troops are eager to desert to the West, and that even Red Army units are in a re bellious and discontented mood. There have been newspaper dis patches that invading Communist soldiers and local security forces would not fire on Budapest rebels, forcing the Kremlin to call on bru tal Mongolians. General Donovan Sent to Vienna Major General William J. Dono van has been rushed to Vienna by the White Houe to superintend the handling of Hungarian refu gees, but that is regarded as only a "cover" assignment. "Wild Bill's" real task will be to ques tion military and political experts from Hungary, and even from the Soviet itself, who are now in Aus tria. They can inform him on the satellites' attitude, if war should break, and of any morale break down among Moscow's occupation forces in Central Europe and the Balkans. General Donovan is peculiarly equipped for this work. He headed the Office of Strategic Services during World War 11, which co operated with resistance move ments in all thess puppet coun tires. He served as a U.S. ob server in Southeastern Europe in 1940-1941, helping to organize fig ures throughout this rebellious area, he is a one-man intelligence agency. Lawyer-Soldier's Many Information Sources Donovan will report to Ike and the Joint Chiefs of Staff after he has quizzed the most reliable and firsthand informants on the Rus sian and satellite military poten tialities and weaknesses. Besides refugees from, the puppet regimes, there are former Moscow officials now in Vienna. They have fur nished important data to Allen Dulles Central . intelligence Agency. "Wild Bill," however, has sources which even Dulles' agents and our diplomatic attaches can not tap. The Congressional Medal of Honor winner tor oravery on many World War I battlefields is our No. 1 "cloak and dagger" man, although the modest lawyer from Buffalo dislikes that descrip tion. Norjtad'i Defense Surprise Other Eisenhower gestures are directed at Russia.
