Letter luhmlttrd tor pub Hratlnn mutt not exceed 4" word Why Throw Away Your Vote? The Republicans have not controlled the govern ment for close to 18 years. Naturally they would like to get into power again. But if the Republican slogan for Oregon's May 19th primary "nominate a regular Republican" prevails throughout the country as a whole, they might as well give up. Under such a slogan the G.O.P. won't control the country for another 18 years. e COR the American people are fed up on "REGU r LAR Republicans." '"Regular Republicans," to them, mean the old fashioned Republicans, the low- waee and hierh-tariff ctoud that haven't learned any thing since the good old days of William McKinley, Mark Hanna; and the full dinner pail. Ihe people are not looking for regular Republicans. Republicans that put regularity above everything. They are looking for PROGRESSIVE Republi cans Republicans who don't want radicalism on one hand or reaction on the other, but do want as leaders, men who are enlightened, up-to-date, com petent and intelligent, who realize they are living in a ''New World," and if democracy is to survive it must adjust itself to entirely new social and economic demands and concepts. CO the real issue in this coming Republican primary is between this old and new school of Republi canism the regulars and the progressives, the "Old Guard and the New. It is also between demonstrated competence, national recognition as represented by Wayne Morse and no competence none demon strated at leasts at all, by his opponent. XE can't believe the Republicans of this district TT or of the state will be so short-sighted, so blind to their own self interest, as to fall for the antiquated plea of party regularity. We can't believe they will choose as their nominee an unknown candidate representing a form of Republicanism as dead as Kameses II, and if upheld as certain to be defeated by the Democratic nominee in November as the sun is to rise tomorrow. Why throw votes away? Why vote party chances away; THE Mail-Tribune supports Senator Wayne Morse on the ground of political principle, sincere conviction and not political expediency. But at this time we are frankly stressing the latter rather than the former. We are not so much trying to tell the Republicans HOW to vote in the Senatorial Primary, as telling them WHAT their votes will mean. A vote to replace Wayne Morse on the Republican ticket with Hoover of Eucene on Mav 19th. if adonted as a national principle will probably mean THIS : keeping the Republicans protesting impotentiv on the sidelines for ANOTHER 18 or 20 years!

Ronettt A Political Parallel To the Editor: It has been an nounced that next week there will be launched the Russell Davenport organization of left wing republicans which parallels the new deal Americans for Democratic Action. At their first meeting Wayne Morse declared himself a maverick, stated that he had never Joined the repub lican party and said "I have no argument with Davenport's plat form, it's a good one. In fact I am running for reelection on the principles he outlines." The policies arc Ihe "me-too" following of the ADA and no doubt will have the hearty sup port of the Truman administra tion. Morse has now publicly and finally repudiated the repuhli . can party and in 1947 he repudi ated every citizen in Oregon when, in an egotistical outburst he said of the Taft-Hartley bill: "I will oppose It though every citizen in Oregon favors it." Docs Oregon want a senator who domes the right of decision to his constituents. Who wants Morse? The demo crats say "He belongs in our . party." Norman Thomas says: "He is my favorite senator. The American Labor party (with communist Infiltration) says: "We can't do without Morse." Labor leaders say "We need Morse to help defeat the repub lican! on repeal of Taft-Hartley. Oregon republicans have no representation in the senate Do you think you have ever been deceived in the matter of having horse meat served to you? I mean, have you eaten and paid for a meal of horse meat served under aonther name? If you are hamburger sandwich enthusi ast you probably have. Anyway, I was much Interested In noting a statement of a chemical an alyst who claimed it is chemical ly impossible to distinguish horse meat once it is chopped up and cooked. Those seeking evidence against a man serving horse meat as some thing else must catch him in the act of putting the raw meat on the fire. Or find a quantity of raw horse meat stored about the premises. fleas Hon Another great man who would never have seen the light of day if his parents had practiced birth control was that hotel manage- ment genius. Cesar Ritz. He was the 13th child of his Swiss par ents. Cesar has passed on, but his ; widow, Mine. Marie Ritz. now in I her 82nd year, still takes an ac tive part in the management of the Ritz hotel in Paris. Rara Racord A New York phonograph rec ord collector believes himself to be in possession of a rare item. It is a recording of a duet by Bert Williams and CJeorge Walker of a song titled "Pretty Dcsdemo na" from a show called "Abys sinia" In which the team ap peared In 1B06. The collector be lieves that while Bert Williams made many records this is the only recording ever made by his partner, George Walker, Too bad George didn't make a record of his smash hit song titled "Bon Bon Buddy the Chocolate Drop." Breaking tha Bank Who introduced the song "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo"? Was it really in spired by a man who did break since Morse cancels the vote of Cordon more than 70 per cent. He endorsed in 1945 the ILWU and declared "Harry Bridges is a better citizen than those who seek to deport him." He voted for the confirmation of Henry Wallace. Aubrey Williams. Le land Olds and Lilienthal. Of TVA he said "It's a great proj-! ect." Does not support CVA (but ! straddles the fence when he j says) "in its present form." It is : In the best Interest of Oregon that Wayne Morse be defeated In the primaries and a man ; elected who will vote with the ; rest of the Oregon delegation in congress. , Mrs. F. I. Snow Albany, Oregon I the bank? These are the queries a Baltimorean tosses at me. The song was introduced by the come dian known as "Old Hoss" Hoey in Hoyt's farce, "A Parlor Match," in 1891. Incidentally, this was the show in which Anna Held made her American debut. The song was inspired by Charles Wells, an Englishman, who played roulette at the Monte Carlo casino 13 hours a riav fnr three days. Wells won the e'quiv-1 uieiit oi $.:au,vuu. Toppad Brooklyn is topped again, but not by California. This time it is Boston. A few columns back I mentioned a young woman in Brooklyn who is a boiler design er and the only female in an or ganization of 100 men. Comment ing on this a Bostonian writes: "Alica Butlar. Boston. Mass., la tha only femala turntabla operator on a railroad In lha United States. Sh works for the Boston and Maine R. R. She is tha only woman among 620 men workers. She is also financial secretary of her un ion. I think she should write a book titled 'Six Hundred and Twenty Men and a Girl'." Biq Girl Have Just been looking at a photograph of Lillian Russell in her heydey. She really was a big girl. At that time the majority of the male sex appeared patlial to statuesque beauties. I believe Miss Russel weighed around 165 pounds. Don't know about her height. She never worried about diet. She was an enthusiast for 8 and 10-course dinners. Follow ing which she enjoyed smoking a tine Havana cigar. Queries from clients: Q. A cyn ical acquaintance says no horse owned by a large and powerful stable has ever been disqualified in an important stake race In this country. How about this? A. Your cynical friend is wrong. There have been several such dis qualifications. A few years ago a horse named Stepfather, owned hy the most powerful stable on the Pacific coast, that of L. B. Mayer, was disqualified in a $50,000 stake race at Santa An ita. Q Am I right in saying that only in the United States can be found "self-service" markets? A. You are in error. There is a chain of "self-service" markets in Switzerland known as the Mi grns Markets. m m CmaalHitrt Hai future.

TRUCK LOAD OF FRESH FISH AND CRABS From Crescent City WATCH FOR TRUCK & SIGHS on 99 SOUTH Fairgrounds Gate Washington, May 11 North west industry is the sacrificial lamb of the ECA, some of the regi o n's busi ness men main tain. Such a view was ex- pressed . last week by H. V. Simps o n, ex ecutive v 1 c e presi dent of the West Coast Lumber m e n's association. But even more impor tant, Simpson indicated that as far as the lumbermen are con cerned, they are not complain ing about sharing the fall guy role if the ECA program is nec essary to hold Russia in check. these thoughts were express ed by the lumberman spokes man at an informal get-to-gether of the northwestern congress men and a number of the area's lumbermen who were here in the capital. Oregonian lawmakers present included: Sen. Cordon, Ivar Pet ersen, Sen. Morse s assistant; Rep. A n g e 1 1. Rep. Stockman. Rep. Norblad and Rep. Ells worth. There were also con gressional members from Idaho, Washington and northern Cali fornia present at the meeting. In his contention that ECA hurts the Northwest more than the rest of the United States, Simpson made a fairly good case. He pointed out that the ECA funds are being used large ly to purchase industrial prod ucts from U. S. markets. Consequently, since the North west doesn t manufacture a great deal of industrial products, the region is not getting the benefits of the EL A produced business. But this is not the complete story. Farm equipment, for ex ample, is one of the chief items being purchased with ECA money and being sent to Europe. With the additional equipment. the type of European production is very similar to that of the Northwest. The dollar shortage of the world is also In the picture. The European countries need to ex port more than they import to build up their dollar shortage. They quite logically, therefore, turn around and try to sell their agricultural products, which the ECA equipment has helped them to produce, right back here in the United States. The result is that the Pacific northwest gets it comine and going. The farm equipment situation is Just an example. The Pacific northwest, by the nature of the business of the area, does, in many other instances, come out on the short end of the ECA shuffle. Best Defense Weapon Even though a tsrong case can be made about how the ECA discrimination against the North west, there doesn't seem to be anything that can be done about it without jeopardizing the coun try s welfare. It has become quite widely accepted here in the capital that ECA, ERP, Marshall Plan, or call it what you may, is a nec essary detergent to a war with Russia. A good share of both democrats and republicans seem to believe that it was the Mar shall Plan which checked the tide of communism on the con tinent. This brings the problem right back to the viewpoint expressed by Simpson. The Pacific north west doesn't mind being the "goal" of ECA if it is for the good of the country. Long Range View In addition to the war pre-! vention" value of ECA, it does have a more optimistic and af firmative benefit when viewed : in prespective. If ECA can succeed in build-1 ing up the other countries of the world and in achieving a dollar balance, the situation now confronting us will be reversed. Instead of being forced to com pete in markets created by our own tax money, new and greater world markets will be created. Lumbermen's Gripe The real purpose behind the above mentioned lumbermen-! I lawmakers meeting was to give ; the lumbermen a chance to ac- 1 1 quaint their congressmen with Hear Senator THOMAS R. MAHONEY In a talk entitled "THI ARLINGTON CLUB LIBERAL" KMED TONIGHT 9:45 P.M. Paid ad Thorn, R. Mahoney 305 Henry Bldg., Portland some of the problems confront ing the industry. Actually, the lumpermen are now enjoying a period of pros perity bv virtue of ample do-1 mestic markets. This is attribut ed to the severe winter in the lumber regions which held up operations while the winter was mud in the Southwest wnere building is booming. The lumbermen are, however, expecting tough sledding as soon as the supply catches up with the domestic demand. Ana one nf the chief causes of concern is competition from British Col umbia lumbering. At present the Canadian lum ber is flooding into the United States but the demand exceeds the supply. When the demand drops off and competition stif fens the Canadians win nave tne edge over the U. S. lumber in dustry. The following facts cogently point up the truth of this assertion: (1) The average wage in the I Pacific Northwest lumber industry is $1.45 per hour as contrasted with the Can adian scale of $1.08 per hour. (2) Due to the monetary ex change the Canadians en joy an overall 10 per cent advantage over the United States. (3) The Canadians can ship aboard foreign ships and avoid the transportation tax which U. S. shippers must pay the U. S. Merch ant Marine. (A differential on longshoremen costs fig ures in here as well.) Just these three factors alone are ample evidence of the need to stave off the Canadian influx or to find new markets for Pa cific Northwest lumber.
