Lodge hints dramatic break
with LBJ over Vietnamese
Certainly Bond Measure 1 isn't direct
tax, but tax money will pay the bill
There Is an area where the
r "Friends of Higher Education" citi
T zens committees supporting Bond
Measure 1 should bo careful.
i A nromotion sheet nut out by
" this group concerning Measure 1,
which would provide $30 million for
J; buildings for higher education, says
"Not a Tax."
'4-
In one part of the promotion
sheet there is this: "Q. Does Bond
Measure 1 propose an Increase in
taxes? A. No."
This was interesting to those of
us who have wondered where the
money was going to come from. Cer
Utainly this is going to be the ques-
tion when It comes time to vote on
the issue May 15.
' To publically state that Bond
T Measure 1 is not a tax and will not
;' increase taxes is a bit misleading.
This could do proponents of the
. measure some damage.
I" It is true that Measure 1 will
I be Oregon's first attempt to finance
classrooms through bonds. Until now
'- higher education has been financed
;- on a pay-as-you-go basis, appropriat
,'. Ing from the general fund each bien
; nium the money needed to build
buildings. This could have resulted
in a direct and immediate increase
in taxes, had the $30 million been
added to the state budget this bien
nium. Through bonding, the debt will
be stretched over a 30-year retire
ment period. Taxes will not be af
fected, at least immediately. Still,
the money has to be repaid and tax
money for the most part will have to
be used to pay the bonds off.
The 30-year retirement of the
bonds will mean that the state will
have to pay principal and interest
of $3,300,000 per biennium. The mo
ney will come out of the state gener
al fund. Most of this money comes
from taxes of one sort or another.
The "Friends of Higher Educa
tion" and others working for Mea
sure 1 are on the right side. There
is no question that unless higher
education and the community col
leges get this money, educational
programs will be set back by years.
Oregonians have generally
backed education, except for the tax
protest vote last fall. We would ex
pect them to vote for the bonds on
May 15. There will be some eye
brows raised however, if the
"Friends of Higher Education" per
sist in their choice of words.
Something for all of us
Brian Sternberg couldn't be call
ed a quitter.
Sternberg is the University of
Washington pole vaulter who fell
: while exercising on a trampoline last
summer and was paralyzed from the
neck down as a result. Just prior
to the accident, ho had set a world's
pole vault record.
Sternberg was an expert on the
trampoline. To maintain his muscle
tone he spent more practice time on
the spring-rimmed mat than he did
on the vaulting lane. But in a twist
ing fall he lost control, landing off
balance on his neck and shoulder
and pinching his spinal cord.
Doctors at first had little hope
for his recovery at all. It was believ
ed that death was imminent. Now
nine months later, Sternberg Is in
constant pain but he has made suf
'.. ficlent recovery to be in a wheel
; chair part of the time. Ho also has
gome control of both arms and spec-
lal depressions give him some use
of his fingers.
7 Medical people marvel at Stern
I berg's fight for survival. His cour--
age has been phenomenal.
This spring Sternberg and his
" wheel chair flew to the Golden Gate
Invitational Track Meet in San Fran
" Cisco. Later, Sternberg and his fa
!: ther attended the Journal Games In
Wisconsin. He described the cxperi
" ences: "I was right down in the
"arena with my old buddies. It felt
like I was back in action."
" Last summer, while still con
" fined in a Seattle hospital, Sternberg
J spoke via telephone to some 600
i high school and college athletes at--tending
the Fellowship of Christian
Athletes conference in Ashland. Bob
Richards, the former Olympic cham
pion, acting as master of ceremonies
at the conference told the UW ath
lete that the conference was praying
for a miracle to make him well.
Sternberg replied, "It's a tremen
dous feeling to know that so many
people, even people I don't know,
are pulling for my recovery. I know
I'm going to come out on top no mat
ter what happens because so many
people are on my side."
It is unlikely that Sternberg will
ever be the active athlete that he
was prior to the accident. His chanc
es to even walk again are almost
null but his spirit, courage, and faith
are a reminder for all that battles,
despite the odds, can only be won by
accepting the challenges and fight
ing. There Is something In the Brian
Sternberg story for each one of us.

pledging U.S. support for South Viet

are defeated.
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON - Reports
from Saigon indicate that Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge
may be preparing to dissociate
himself from the South Vietna
mese policies of the Johnson ad
ministration. There is also a report that
Lodge may do so in the same
spectacular manner in which
Gen. Douglas MacArthur court
ed removal by President Tru
man namely, a showdown
over U.S. bombing of Chinese
Communist territory.
The blue - blood Bostonian is
not unaware of the Republican
fire he is drawing for serving a
Democratic administration in
this Asian hot spot.
Indeed, the reliable Louis
Harris poll, which shows Lodge
far out in front in the Oregon
presidential primary, also regis
ters strong criticism of his role
in South Vietnam. An over
whelming 84 per cent of the Re
publican voters, though they
liked Lodge, held him partly re
sponsible for Vietnam.
Lodge has made clear to his
backers that he has no inten
tion of passing up the oppor
tunity to become president. He
has told them that it not only
was his duty to accept the call,
but that he consulted with top
Republicans before accepting
the ambassadorship.
One who agreed he couldn't
turn it down, according to
Lodge, was ex-President Eisen
hower. Far more significant, how
ever, are hints that Lodge may
be planning a dramatic break
with the Johnson administration
over South Vietnam.
The ambassador has written
a private letter to his old friend,
ex-Speaker Joe Martin of Mas
sachusetts, telling of his desire
to carry the war into North
Vietnam.
It was precisely such a letter
over a decade ago that stirred
up the great controversy over
expanding the Korean War into
Manchuria. The circumstances
are startlingly similar.
At that time Gen. Douglas
MacArthur wrote to the same
Joe Martin, complaining about
President Truman's failure to
carry the war into Manchuria.
The letter leaked; Truman fired

MacArthur; the General came
home in a blaze of publicity.
It may be that the ambassa
dor, an impressive if less spec
tacular figure than MacArthur,
had this episode in mind when
he wrote to Martin.
Will history repeat itself?
Note Though maintaining a
discreet diplomatic silence,
Lodge has also taken issue with
the Johnson administration over
the prohibition against U.S. hel
icopters flying closer than three
miles to Cambodia. Red guerril
las have the habit of hitting tar
gets in South Vietnam, then
running for cover into Cambo
dia. Lodge has argued that heli
copters should be permitted to
pursue them all the way to the
border.
Acheson and MacArthur
Ex-Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, his memory pricked
by the renewed controversy
over Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
has told friends about the reac
tion inside President Truman's
cabinet the day after MacArth
ur was fired.
The headlines were aflame
with the news of the great
hero's sacking, and public indig
nation was bursting over Tru
man's head.
He strode into the cabinet
meeting and, without formality,
brought up what was on every
one's mind.
"Well," he demanded, "what
do you think of it?"
Truman turned first to his
Secretary of State and asked
for Acheson's comment.
"I am reminded," said Ache
son, "of the story of the Army
couple who brought up a beau
tiful daughter in a succession of
Army camps. She was always
surrounded by soldier boys who
swarmed about her like bees
around honey.
"Her parents naturally were
concerned about her in such an
environment. One day, when the
husband returned from his du
ties, he was greeted at the gate
by his distressed wife who an
nounced that their daughter was
pregnant.
"The man reached Into his
pocket, pulled out a handker
chief, wiped his brow, and said,
'thank God that's over!'
"That," said Acheson, "is how
I feel about the firing of Mac-Arthur."
Fear of white domination leads
to fall of African federation
By Phil Newsom
UPI Staff Writer
On Jan. 1 of this year a noble
experiment designed to prove
ability to live and work togeth
er came to an end.
Poor and overpopulated Nyas
aland and copper-rich Northern
Rhodesia became self-governing
British protectorates, with Bri
tain retaining control of foreign
affairs, defense and police.
Southern Rhodesia, with its
cattle ranches and tobacco
plantations, resumed its status
of self-governing British colo
ny and a policy of white su
premacy closely akin to that of
its neighbor, the Union of
South Africa.
The Central African Federa
tion of Rhodesia and Nyasaland
had lasted just over 10 years
and it had collapsed on the
same grounds that had led
black Africans to oppose it in
the first place the fear of dom
ination by a white minority.
Blacks Are Dominated
It is against this background
that violence now sweeps South
ern Rhodesia where about 220,
000 whites dominate the lives of
more than 3.5 million Africans.
Politically, the issue lies be
tween Southern Rhodesia's de
mand for independence from
Britain and Britain's refusal to
grant it before the whites grant
political and social equality to
the blacks.
Internally, It has meant the
fall of moderate Prime Minis
ter Winston J. Field and the
rise of Ian Douglas Smigh,
rancher. World War II hero
and outspoken racist.
The new governments' banish
ment of Joshua Nkomo, a na
tionalist leader, led directly to
mob action by Africans chant
Ing "Nkomo owns the land."
Barbs
Overwork and crossing the
street against a red light can
give you that run-down feeling.
Some husbands get so tired of
frosen foods they give the wife
an Icy stare.
Externally, It arouses the pos
sibility that Southern Rhodesia
may become the first colony
since the American Revolution
to declare Its independence
from Britain.
How Southern Rhodesia goes
also effects the future of Afri
ca as a whole.
The prosperous Union of South
Africa has been able to follow
its own white supremacy line
partly through the protection of
buffer states, of which Southern
Rhodesia is one, which cut it
off from the nationalism of new
African nations.
Portugese Under Attack
An Independent Southern Rho
desia might join with the Un
ion of South Africa or it might
seek prosperity through trade
overseas, going through Portu
gese Mozambique.
The latter course is hazar
dous since Portuguese African
holdings are under attack by
African nationalists.
In the former course, the Un
ion of South Africa's borders
would move up next to those of
avowed enemies.
In that event, the black Afri
cans would obtain "privileged
sanctuaries" providing avenues
of safe attack on the white su
premacists in both Southern
Rhodesia and the Union of South
Africa.
Ian Douglas Smith is the
fourth prime minister in seven
years of turbulent political his
tory for Southern Rhodesia.
At 45, he is credited with the
ability to lead the white minor
ity which would seize independ
ence to block the political
threat of a black majority.
Unfortunately, battle lines
have been drawn. For the mo
ment, at least, moderates on
either side have lost their
voice. And the immediate fu
ture of Southern Rhodesia is
not a happy one.

GOP primary
may turn into
race after all
Editori note: The Oregon Re
publican presidential primary
may be the meet significant
primary in the nation this year.
(First of three.)
By Zan Stark
UPI Stiff Writer
SALEM (UPI) - The Oregon
Republican presidential primary
may erupt into a contest after
all.
Oregon political leaders now
are privately suggesting that
South Viet Nam Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge, 61, will not
be a runaway victor in the
May 15 balloting.
Many now suggest it may be
a hairline four-way race.
Recent polls indicated Lode
had a commanding lead, with
former Vice President Richard
Nixon running second, and New
York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
and Arizona Sen. Barry Gold
water about even in a poor
third showing.
Maine Sen. Margaret Chase
Smith, and Pennsylvania Gov.
William Scranton will receive
only token support in Oregon,
it now appears.
Many of Oregon's most knowl
edgable and powerful politi
cal leaders have told UPI pri
vately that they believe Lodge's
support has begun to wane.
Some say Lodge may win, but
only by a narrow margin.
Others predict victory for Nix
on. And some believe the re
cently launched drive in Nixon's
behalf will undermine Lodge
support and leave the way open
for a victory by either Gold
water or Rockefeller.
There have been these devel
opments in recent days:
Goldwater has shifted his
campaign emphasis to televi
sion. An "elect Dick Nixon presi
dent committee" has come to
life under the direction of As
toria attorney Wendell Wyatt,
who headed the Nixon campaign
early in 1960.
Rockefeller switched from
vague generalities to a hard
hitting positive campaign which
many believe gave his cause a
significant boost during the
April 17 visit.
Draft Lodge forces are very
active. They are launching a
statewide canvassing drive Fri
day, and hope to visit 150,000
Republican voters before the
May 15 election.
Goldwater and Rockefeller are
waging extensive Oregon cam
paigns. Nixon has a reserve of
strength from four years ago.

Writer it mystified
by backing for Lodge
To the Editor:
This writer is mystified at the
latest polls showing Lodge to be
favored by Republican Oregon
ians over other presidential
candidates. It's past my under
standing how this lackluster ren
egade Republican can suddenly
appear attractive after he de
serted his party to pull Demo
crat chestnuts out of the Viet
Nam fire.
When one considers that
Lodge was defeated in his own
state by a then unknown John
F. Kennedy; that he contribut
ed to Nixon's defeat by his
wretched campaigning in the
South and angered Republican
field workers throughout the
country by his arrogant indif
ference to their needs; that his
sound and fury In the UN ac
complished no real result; that
Republican conservatives will
never forgive him for his part
in Robert Taft's final defeat;
that his suspicious conduct dur
ing the overthrow and assassi
nation of the Ngus in South Viet
Nam has never been satisfactor
ily explained; that he has said
not one word on the vital issues
that trouble all of us. . .1 ask
you, can you seriously believe
such a man can overcome Lyn
don Johnson? To those anxious
for a GOP victory, let me say
that In my view Republican
conservatives as a whole could
stomach Nixon again or even
Rockefeller, but Lodge never,
and they'll stay at home on
election day.
One can understand Lodge's
success in New Hampshire, for
the political orientation of Re
publicans in the Eastern Sea
board, is far more liberal than
In other sections of the country
but if Lodge supporters are
successful elsewhere, then the
networks and the Eastern syn
dicated pundits have brainwash
ed the Republican party again
and persuaded it to pick a cand
idate most likely to fail. Either
that, or the Republican party
has a death wish too strong to
be denied.
This is the end of the line for
the Republican party as far as
many conservatives are con
cerned. If "me-too" Republican
ism Is shoved down their
throats again, you can write off
the Republican party as a na
tional force. Think it over well,
Oregonians. Many a bad apple
can be polished up to look pret
ty good If you don't examine it
very carefully.

They don't like
to be frozen out
of goodies
By Dick West
UPI Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Few
things will aggrieve a congress
man more than being frozen out
of an announcement concerning
a military base in his home
district.
The reason for his dis
pleasure is twofold: (1) It gives
the folks back home the im
pression that he doesn't know
what is going on In Washington
and (2) It makes it difficult for
him to claim credit for what is
being done.
During the past year or so,
there have been frequent com
plaints that the Pentagon and
or White House were playing
favorites In the dissemination
of such tidings.
Let us say for purposes of Il
lustration that the Army decid
ed to reactivate the 432nd
Messkit Repair Depot at Fort
Cactus.
The word would then be
passed to an administration
supporter who was facing a
tough campaign for reelection.
Or so it would be alleged by
those who came in second with
the news.
I don't propose to discuss
the validity of these charges,
but I was intrigued by an ex
perience related by Rep. Sher
man P. Lloyd, R-Utah, In the
current issue of Roll Call, the
Capitol Hill newspaper.
Upon entering his office at
3:18 on a recent afternoon,
Lloyd wrote, he found an Air
Force sergeant "sitting In a
chair, looking as if he were
waiting for somebody.
"It turned out that what he
was waiting for was not some
body but for the precise mo
ment of 3:20 p.m. or, if you
will 1520 hours."
Right on the dot, the sergeant
handed over an envelope con
taining an announcement per
taining to the Hill Air Force
Base in Utah.
"Upon my inquiry," Lloyd
continued, "this courteous and
punctual sergeant informed me
that identical messages were
being delivered to the entire
Utah congressional delegation
at the simultaneous moment.
"The messengers had even
synchronized their watches be
fore leaving the Pentagon."
The congressman drew the
conclusion that the Pentagon
had devised "this elaborate
clock-watching ritual" to head
off complaints about "news
management."
"Are we training men for
this hazardous mission and fur
nishing cars and drivers to pro
vide the suitable means of get
ting through the lines?" he
asked.
If so, he said, "I think we
could save enough money In
military manpower to cover the
costs of lighting the White
House st night."
