senatorial dining-room with Wayne Morse. A lot of interesting
talk, but unfortunately, all off the record or practically all. Ore
gon's junior Senator is as lively and stimulating as always, but
doesn't look as well as he did when we last saw him. He works
too hard one of the best known Washington correspondents tells
us he works harder, longer hours and with more intensity than any
other member of the congress. We wager that is true. Moreover,
he has never fully recovered from that kick of his horse, which
came nearer ending the career of the Senator entirely, than most
people realize. We suggested to the Senator he slow down a bit
and relax. He gave us a wry smile and went into another rapid-fire

The rest of the afternoon was

the President to invoke the Taft-Hartley bill at once, and thus get

interesting demonstration of the unique position occupied by Ore
gon s junior senator in the Upper

minority.

reasons for not doing so were clear and perfectly convincing.
It was a condition, that had to be faced, not a theory.
That condition was, collective bargaining between the steel-
workers and the companies had
good faith with every effort being
the earliest possible moment.
Instead of lrrvoklng,fhe Taft-Hartley Act at once, which would
throw a monkey wrench into
House,' would it not be'Iar better sense to delay such action for a
week, and then if after that breathing spell there was still no sign
of a settlement, call In the Taft-Hartley Act but not until then?
It seemed to the undersigned
tionable procedure imaginable
a decent chance to settle the strike before taking an action that
would delay any settlement for another long and costly period.
However, the Dlxiecrats and the GOP die-hards got their heads
together and while they agreed to postponing immediate action,
they refused a week's Interval.
So the matter will come up for decision Monday. However, Ore
gon's Senator (Bob Sawyer likes to call him "Junior") got over
half what he asked for and if by any chance a strike settlement
should be reached over this week-end, he can count up a smashing,
pergonal victory.

Matter of Fact
REMEMBERING PEARL
HARBOR
Tremors of disquiet are again
running through official Wash
ington, after a good many
months of calm. Bland optim
ism is still the approved public
line, but among State and De
fense Department policy mak
ers an increasing group is acute
ly worried about the outlook
for this summer.
So far as can be discerned,
these shock waves of worry
have two main epicenters; The
first is In Moscow, where the
"hate America" campaign reach
ed an incredible pitch of viru
lence about four weeks ago, and
had been kept on that pitch ever
since. It is understood that the
venomous violence of this Sov
iet "hate America" propaganda
was one of the first points to
hit our new Ambassador, George
F. Kennan. This is significant,
since Kennan has more than
enough experience to ignore the
ordinary Russian propaganda
mouthings.
"Hate America", is, 'of course,
an old theme for the Soviet
propagandists. The new features
of the campaign are a mouth
frothing emphasis on the brutal
savagery of the American Army
nd a redoubled effort to stir
up the Russian people. Where
the greatest efforts were form
erly made in the satellite and
Western nations, the Kremlin s
propaganda is now continuously
beamed at Russian eyes and
ears. The front pages of "Prav-
da'-' and ' Izvestia, " the great
official newspapers, have now
become the main vehicles of the
hate America" poison,
e
A MONG THE POLICY mak-
ers, some are disturbed by
this sudden . intensification of
anti-American propaganda with
in the Soviet Union simply be
cause it mystifies them. Others
are worried because they take
it as a sign that the Politburo
has abandoned hope of Stalin's
"peaceful co-existence," and has
decided that world war is ulti
mately inevitable. Still others
a minority to be sure think
the Kremlin is seeking to pre
pare its people for an early per
iod of great danger.
Meanwhile, the shock waves
of worry thus generated In Mos
cow are being reinforced by
other waves emanating from the
epicenter In Korea. The facts
of the enemy build-up in Korea
have of course been accumula
ting for months in the files of
telegrams in the Pentagon. But
recent developments seem to
have made these facts suddenly
come alive.
The facts themselves are
simple enough. During the past
10 months, the enemy has not
only built up a powerful air
force of 1,800 planes, including
at least 1,000 MIG-15 Jet fight
ers, on his fields beyond the
Yalu. He has also Increased his
forces to about 1,500,000 men.
He has brought in armor until
he is believed to have 800 tanks.
He has gathered artillery until
his rate of fire at the front cur
rently almost approaches our
own. Above all, he has accum
ulated huge forward stocks of
ammunition and every other
kind of supply, sufficient to
sustain an offensive effort of
many day'g duration. In short
the enemy is now ready, by of
ficial estimate, to launch the
heaviest and most sustained at
tack on half an hour's notice.
General James C. Van Fleet
remains confident, as was Gen
eral Matthew Rldgway, that the
U, N. defense In depth can
frustrate such an attack. But
the remembrance la beginning
to circulate In Washington that
our great mistake before Pearl
Harbor was assuming that the
enemy of those days Japan
would Interpret the situation
as we did. And a good many
people are beginning to wonder
whether the Russians and Chin
ese staffs in Korea accept Gen
eral Van Fleet s analysis.
ON THE ONE HAND, the Rus
sian and Chinese generals
must almost inevitably lay their
earlier disappointments to four
deficiencies. In their previous
offenses, mass manpower was

ly Joseph m4
Stewart Also
their only reliance. They had
little artillery, little armor, no
air over the battlefield, and
never more than three days
of supply at the front. Their ef
forts collapsed, moreover, main
ly because their supplies always
ran out. AU these enemy defic
iencies have now been ' made
up twice over. On the other
hand, our line, although organ
ized in depth, is still so thinly
held that divisions occupy sec
tors many miles in width. More
than half the divisions are South
Koreans, and rotation has filled
the American ' divisions with
highly-trained but combat-green
troops.
In these circumstances, the
Russian and Chinese generals
must obviously be tempted to
make one last great attempt to
throw our forces out of Korea.
If such an attempt is launched,
limiting the war will become
all but impossible. Here is a
danger for which the Kremlin
may well desire to prepare its
people. All this has obviously
impressed as experienced
a judge as Winston Churchill,
who has sent Field Marshal
Earl Alexander with a remark
ably strong staff to Korea to
have a first-hand look at the
situation.
Against these forebodings
must be balanced such other
facts as the total absence of
war-like troop movements in
the Soviet Union, and the com
paratively mild Soviet response
to the signature of the West
German agreements. Among the
policy makers, the majority is
still optimistic, holding to the
belief that the Politburo will
not risk a general war. They are
wise men, and probably right.
But it is at least worth remem
bering that we live, these days,
on the edge of an abyss, into
which we can be plunged at any
moment by the smallest mis
step, the least slackening of
watchfullness and effort. Abys
ses do not grow less dangerous
because they are always there.

Editorial Comment
RAIN MAKING AGAIN
Farmers belonging to the Trl
County Weather Research organ
ization apparently are not quite
so confident as they once were
that the rain-makers can, real
ly make it rain.
The Sherman - Gillian - Mor
row counties group again will
try to increase the rainfall on
their wheat crops by artificial
means despite disappointing re
sults in recent months. But in
stead of paying a flat fee of
930,000 to Water Resources De
velopment corporation, as was
done this year, Tri-County fav
ors paying according to the
rain-makers' performance.
This arrangement would be
good for the farmers but not so
good for the rain-makers. After
all, the rain-makers are not yet
able to call ' their shots: some
times they miss the mark and
sometimes the crops go rainless
even though the air streams are
well seeded with silver iodide
whenever cdndltions seem fav
orable. '

New political note:
"President Truman may seek

the other night
"Smathers ' said Truman's

Good advice on stories like
that:
Let 'em go In one ear and out
of the other. If you start be
lieving every tale that some pol
itician starts, your mind will
soon be filled with a mess of
misinformation that will give
you a bad case of mental in
digestion. I sometimes wonder if that
isn't chiefly what's wrong with
us.
Still
The little man did say, while
the court was considering the
steel seizure and before it rend
ered its decision, that NOBODY,
neither the Supreme Court nor
Congress, can take away his "in
herent" powers as President.
And later, after the court had
rendered its decision, reporters
asked him at a press conference
what he was going to do about
it and he said he'd have more
to say about that later.
You never can tell.
SHUCKS! The first thing I
know I'll be getting my head
full of a mess of misinforma
tion, and I'm sure I wouldn't
enjoy indigestion of any kind
mental or otherwise.
That leads us back to Ike.
At a news conference in New
York, a reporter asked him how
he would have reconciled labor
and industry in the steel crisis.
Ike answered: '
"The Supreme Court has rul
ed, and I would not quarrel
with the Supreme Court."
I like that.
It would be wonderful. It
seems to me, to have a Presi
dent who instead of quarreling
with the Supreme Court and
quarreling with Congress would
devote his time to organizing
the administration and the leg
islature and the judicial depart
ments of our government into
a TEAM that would work
smoothly and efficiently, TO
GETHER, to get for all of us
the immense benefits that can
accrue from government of the
people, for the people and by
the people.
That, I m sure, is what the
Founding Fathers had In mind.
At his news conference in
New York, Ike spoke to the
reporters of complaints he had
received to the effect that he
had talked too fast at his meet
ing with the newsmen in Ab
ilene. Then he grinned, and added:
"Anybody has a right to shout
'SLOWER' to me if I get to talk
ing too fast."-
Ike, I'd say. is BEING HIM

needs in the way of campaign

Asking
Queries from clients. Q. So
you're an expert on things thea
trical. All right, name six most
famous single lines from the
plays of the last fifty years. A.
Never claimed to be a theatrical
expert. Just a fan. Given time I
could answer your query com
pletely. Offhand I will say three
of the most quoted single lines
from stage plays are. 1. "When
you call me that, smile," from
The Virginian." "Nobody loves
a fat man," from "The Round
Up.' "Why don't you come up
and see me some time?" from
Diamond Lil."
Among tha Married
American husbands who turn
their entire pay checks over to
their wives are in the majority.
British husbands who do that
are in the minority. Many a Brit
ish wife doesn't even know what
her husband's salary is. Seems
most British husbands are a lit
tle on the tight side when it
comes to handing out so-called
housekeeping money. Now Dr.
Edith Summerskill, M.P., has
proposed a law for married
women that when a husband
does not provide enough house
keeping money, the wife will
have the right, by court order,
to draw part of the husband's
wages. When arguments about
money enter into a home, love
usually flies out the window. So,
young fellow, either you hand
your pay check over to your
wife or split it two ways and
then have each take care of 50
per cent of the household ex
penses. Briefly
