David ahd April Hilton Sykes, Publishers Ulman 9s Willingness to sail against the wind should be looked upon as a political virtue. But it has threatened to swamp Al Ullman, Oregon's Democratic congressman from the Second District who is in a tough race against an untried and untested Republican opponent, Denny Smith. The wind that Ullman turned into was the value-added tax, a device like a hidden sales tax that many leaders in Congress have seriously considered as a way to find funds to reduce the Social Security burdens, certain to grow worse in the years ahead, and as a responsible way to reduce the income tax without cutting national security needs or making inflation worse. The Oregonian has been skeptical of the tax, feeling there is no practical way to guarantee that it always will be used to offset the other taxes. While we trust Ullman to do what he says he will, the same confidence is ' not lodged in future members of Congress. Ullman has dropped the tax plan, declaring, "As far as I am concerned, that issue (VAT) is dead." He said the value-added tax in "not acceptable to the country or to Oregon." Had Ullman not searched for a means of bolstering Social Security, he would be in a lot less political trouble. A flaming liberal, Steve Anderson, a Salem lawyer, pushed the veteran congressman hard in the Democratic primary, getting 45 percent of the vote to Ullman's 55 percent. But it is hard to imagine large numbers of these voters shifting to Denny Smith, who at age 42 is more conservative than some politicians become at the age of four score and 10. Smith has no experience in public service, local, state or national. The kind of clout that Ullman commands as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is the envy of the other 49 states. Only Washington can match it, in the Senate side with Senators Henry Jackson and Warren Magnuson. Since Ullman, long a fiscal protege of Rep. Wilbur Mills, succeeded to the Mills post in 1974, he has been in the forefront of efforts to balance the budget, reform the income tax and otherwise bring greater fiscal conservat ism to the nation's tax system. His record would look better if he didn't cooperate so much. He has voted for spending bills certain to pass in order to win their sponsor's aid for his own projects, most of them vital to his district of Eastern Oregon and a portion of the Willamette Valley. Smith has not made many proposals he would have any chance of getting approved if he were elected, whereas Ullman would continue to fight as a national leader for a sound Social Security System, aid for Oregon's lumber and cattle industries and jcontinued efforts to support recreational and wildlife areas, such as Hells Canyon and the Minam Wilderness, while looking after countless small services that only a congressman with real influence can perform for the citizens of Oregon. One of the most effective Oregon congressmen in modern times, Wendell Wyatt, a Republican, has endorsed Al Ullman. Wyatt understands the importance of seniority in Congress and knows firsthand of its great value to the state.
