MAIL TRIBUNE Editorial Correspondence Washington, June 13 (By delegation to me cnicago convention was for General Eisen hower. If go they have adopted a strange pro-Taft procedure. A dispatch from Portland urput persuaded the delegation to disbar Senator Morse as far as any committee assignments are concerned. This in spite of the tact that Morse not only got 50,000 more votes than Orput in the recent primary but was second delegation, Governor McKay, and 40,000 votes ahead of his near est competitor. The Eisenhower supporters here are lambasting Taft for his isolationist steam-roller, "machine-gun tactics." But this Orput move surpasses anything Taft has sanctioned, it is not only an arrogant, shameful, exhibition pudiates the first principles of Lincoln republicanism, the prin ciples of fair play and protection of minority rights. As a famous political leader this is worse than a crime, It is policy should be followed by the will not only be the nominee of eral republicans and independents as a group will either vote for the democratic nominee or take a walk. In either case it is a two to one bet, the democrats will win, again. And no one will be to blame but the sort of stupid resented by this Orput action the protests of only five members of the Oregon delegation. This Is not a question of politics, party loyalty or anything but arithmetic. No republican candidate can win without strong lib eral and independent support. to be true. The action of this committee. If followed out at the convention, will render such support impossible. It is just as sim ple and politically catastrophic as that. R.W.R. Washington, D. C, June 10 Another dull day in the senate. The calendar called for a decision on Senator Byrd's motion to have the President invoke the So "we all went in for the excitement. But there was none. An appeal was received from the White House to delay action as there ment being reached before sundown. The request was granted. As a result only about 30 senators appeared on the floor and most of them didn't stay long. Senator Morse, as usual, was one of the faithful few. Senator Cordon, who (we might remind our readers) is the SENIOR Senator seat since we arrived. We tried to see him a couple committee. Well, that's a perfectly legitimate excuse. The Important work of the U. S. Senate is all done "in com mittee." We believe it was former said that this country is really governed by the committee CHAIR MEN of the congress. That was more the case In Wilson's time than now, but It is still essentially correct the committee chairmen do have more power over legislation than any large group of individuals in the government. The Supreme Court and the President have greater authority per capita, however, In the determination of what legis lation is or is not enacted into law. The worst day yet In the direction of weather. Theoretically, thunder storms off the atmosphere, but they never do in Washington, D. C. Or at least very seldom. This time the only result was an increase in the humidity, which must have been around 90 to start with. In the midst of the shower we had to go to the Union Station to meet the senior member of the up on the "Congressional Limited His train arrived at one-twenty p.m. (DST).

For the first time since our arrival "Mr. Republican" appeared in his scat in the Senate, fresh from the mtddlewest. And he surely LOOKED it sunburned, spare hair dishevelled, a dirty dark blue shirt (ok, make it RUMPLED!), and a general appearance of weary untidiness. Perhaps this merely adds up to smart politics looking like a hard working dirt field, when politicking in the wouldn't grow his puny crop of ever, and brush it over his bald spot. It may be a petty prejudice, but we never have completely TRUSTED men who do that. Who do they fool but themselves? (General MacArthur, by the way, resorts to the same silly subterfuge based in silly VANITY.) Speaking of the "General," It turn, that "Mr. Republican" has chosen Gen. MacArthur to de liver the "key-note" speech at the Chicago convention. And ac cording to the local grapevine, Taft will have 100 control of the machinery of that momentous gathering. General Elsenhower Is a magnanimous person. In return for the unkind cut given him by his former chief, Douglas MacArthur, Ike declared, that if elected President he would give the "hero of Bntnan" an important Job of some sort and rely upon him for ex pert information as to the Far Eastern situation. Very generous nt General Eisenhower, but we predict If he does this, he will live to regret It. Our advice to a new Senator arrival would be to pause before he takes his taxi from the Union station and look behind him. On the top portico of the office section he would find the following Inscription, quote: "LET ALL THE ENDS THOU AIMST AT. BE THY COUNTRY'S. THY GOD'S, AND TRUTH'S." We venture to say Senator McCarthy never looked back to read that inscription when he arrived! Jf he did, surely he Ignored it. One of the great tragedies of this democracy is that more of our representatives in "the greatest deliberative body In the world" fail to take that precept, to heart, when they take their oaths ot office. Congressman Harris Ellsworth with very Impressive dignity escorted three of his constituents to seats In front of the Med ford group in the Senate gallery, this afternoon. Harris certainly is not wasting away In avoirdupois and more arid more LOOKS the congressional part. According to the grapevine he intends to run against Wayne Morse when the latter's term expires, and there is also a rumor Congressman Norblad will run against Guy Cordon. Well, we don't know so much about the latter, but certainly It shouldn't be difficult to determine one's PREFERENCE In the FORMER contest! . . Members of the colored race are more In evidence here than ever. Which perhaps accounts for the fact that members of the congress from the Deep South are all in such a bad temper, so much of the time. We have yet to see a smile on the faces of ANY of them in EITHER house. It MUST be galling to be sent to the national capital as a member of the Ruling Class with a capital "R", and from a district where the traditions of white supremacy have been upheld so religiously for so many years, and then ob rcrve the rules of raciol equality which must be observed here. It has its amusing side at times but all In all we can't help but feel a certain sympathy for the Southerners in view of their up bringing and long established customs although as a matter of PRINCIPLE, they are, of course, Friday.

Crosstown ' o "My folks call It 'grandfather clock,' but both my grandfathers deny it." Babson and Court Decision BY ROGER W. BABSON Babson- PaFk, Mass., June 13. (Special to- Mail Tribune) vestor3 seem'- to feel that In- last jpsaaeiaj week s Su preme Court steel decision was a victory for every read er of this pap er. It means that a Presi dent cannot be come a dicta tor without an - express act of Congress, and that this act must be constitutional. Just now, with a President friendly to the labor leaders, they are disappointed; but these labor leaders should realize that the time may come when some one may be President who is un friendly to labor. If the Supreme Court had upheld the seizure of the steel, industry, it could then become very harmful to labor. Therefore, all should be happy with the decision. Furthermore, we should become Immune to these strikes. They have been with us since the days of Cain and Abel and will continue for another 1,000 years. One of the basic problems now connected with strikes ap plies to pension funds for em ployees. Naturally, I feel that pensions have their usefulness In the case of faithful executives and employees of long standing. Like everything else in this world they have, however, dis advantages as well as advan tages. . I surely believe that all pen sion plans should be approved by the stockholders before adop tion and should be very care fully considered from every angle. Unfortunately, too many executives are rushing these pension plans in order to "get aboard" themselves. Two Different Plans Up io Corporations The first question for a cor poration to decide regarding pensions is whether (1) to have the fund administered by a bank, or (2) to have it handled by an insurance' company. A corporation which is willing to consult a courageous and expe rienced investment adviser con stantly, can secure a higher rate of interest for the employees and can vary the payments accord ing to business conditions and, at times, buy some of its own stock, by having the fund ad ministered by a bank. This I ad vise for my. own companies. If, however, there is a temp tation to buy too many stocks at a critical time like this, it would lie better to use an insur ance company. By so doing the corporation would avoid peri lous kickbacks due to the shrink age of hssets by a carelessly self- administered pension fund. Stockholder Pensions Not Being Advocatad Among letters from readers I am asked: "Why pensions for of ficers, executives and everyone else but the stockholders?" One suggestion is that stockholders of 20 years or more should under certain circumstances be entitled to a pension. I am not now advocating this, but it may be a fair question. I don't know. The subject of "Pensions for Stockholders" could well be one for discussion at conventions and government tax conferences. The Federal Treasury allows corporations to deduct, as an ex pense, their contributions to pension funds for officers and employees. But why not allow this (which means that Uncle Sain now pays 50 per cent of the contribution to a pension fund) for faithful stockholders of 20 years standing? Stockholdart Could Block Pension Fund Without now taking sides in any pension discussion, I must remind corporation officials of Since " the app.vvnl by stockholders should be secured i f"tv By Roland Co to get pensions for officers and employees, the stockholders could block any pension fund which did not Include them, the same as employees can strike for pension plans. One thing is certain either we are headed for an unjust and unwise socialistic system, or else greater consideration must be given to both employees, as well as to the stockholders who build the plant, pay for the ma chinery and provide the work ing, capital. The present unfair setup, with double taxation of dividends, could ultimately re suit in unemployment, due to insufficient capital. ' Here is one compromise sug gestion: After a common stock holder has held stock for 20 years, he could have the option of exchanging it for a preferred stock, which would give him, in part at least, preferred security. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The other day President Tru man asked the congress (at a joint session of the house and senate assembled in the house chamber) for power to seize and operate the struck steel indus try.. The senate listened to his plea, then: 1. It rejected, by a vote of 68 to 12, a plan by Senator May bank to ban strikes in essential industries for-120 days and per mit seizure if either side reject ed settlement terms proposed by a government board. 2. It turned down, 58 to 28, a proposal by Senator Monron ey to seize after seven days no tice to the disputants and two days notice to congress, which would then have 15 days to vote the seizure. 3. It defeated, 47 to 32, a move by Senator Humphrey to empower the President to seize as many steel mills as may be necessary to meet defense needs. TIAVING thus gone on record, " three times in a row, against seizure of the steel mills as a means of settling a strike, the senate then voted, 49 to 30, to re quest that President Truman use the Taft-Hartley law and seek a court injunction against contin uance of the strike. 'PHIS IS tUe poir.t: President Truman has re peatedly refused to use the Taft Hartley law in an effort to set tle the strike. Good or bad, the Taft-Hartley law is the LAW OF THE LAND. Mr. Truman says he doubts if it would work. The senate says plainly to hiin: "Try it first, and SEE whether it will work." PERSONALLY, I'm Inclined to doubt whether In the embit tered situation that has followed the steel ruckus the Taft-Hartley law would work. About all it provides is an 80-day interval during which a strike would be forbidden. It rather looks like at the end of the 60 days, we'd be as badly off as we are now. May be we'd be worse off, for the feeling on both sides, which is bitter and angry now, would probably be even more bitter and angry at the end of the 80 day injunction period. But I certainly can't help won dering where we are at if the President ot the United Stales, whose duty under the constitu tion Is to administer the laws that are passed by congress, can REFUSE to administer a law that has already been passed by the congress. That looks to me like UTTER CONFUSION. I wonder what the Founding Fathers would have thought (and said) if it had been suggested to them that the lime would come when that would happen. I Imagine they would have been horrified.

What Caused tht Chill To the Editor: Please be kind enough to extend my thanks to the following ambitious young men: Thank you, Mr. Kooser, and thank you, Mr. Brandeau for the work your cloud seeding op erations of the past few days has saved me no more garden to toil in, no berries to pick, no long hours spent canning tomatoes and peaches. Of course, my work of the past few months went for naught when Wednesday night's temperature dropped under cloudless skies. Bunch beans six inches high turned -clear and limp. Five dozen tomato plants with little tomatoes as large as walnuts likewise drooped and with the first touch of sun turn ed black. Squash, corn, potatoes starting to bloom, cucumbers, melons, everything in my large garden except the onions and lettuce, gave up the ghost and not because of a few hail pecks either. You don t wish to claim the credit? Oh, but you are too mod est. Ask any weather man if high clouds have not a moderat ing effect on temperatures. Ask him if the clouds that built .up in the surrounding hills the last few davs. if left alone, would likely'have drifted over the val ley and insulated it from the cold. Ask him if mid-June freez es are the usual thing in this valley. . Thank you most of all, and I mean this sincerely, for the im petus Wednesday night's disaster gave to the movement of the Moisture Conservation League to end weather control. Thank you for helping to con vince the big-money orchardisls that a few hail pecked pears on the trees are better than a lot of frost blackened ones on the ground. Thank you for convinc ing the thinking people of the valley that God can still be trust ed to decide the weather, Mrs. Ruth H. Clark, Route 1, Box 290A, n Medford, Oregon. Planes Blamed To the Editor: Could it be that the chickens are coming home to roost? Every time a thunderhead shows up over the Siskiyous, two or three planes make point of knocking them down. The past three or four days they have had a field day. I seem to remember that on one occasion they seeded for seven hours. Wednesday they were up most of the day. That night . . . with no clouds . . . made the Rogue Valley the cold est spot in the nation, freezing most of the crops. How long are we going to tol erate them?

The ceiling price on a luncheon or dinner in any Lon don restaurant is five shillings, the equivalent of 75 cents. In France, restaurants are rated as to quality of food and service by government edict placing them in Class A, B, C, and D. Good idea. We should have le gislation like that in this coun try. It would keep the restaura teurs on their toes and inspire them to keep their kitchens clean.

It Is true Two Little Go About On Russia By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst While great nations nervously chew their fingernails awaiting the Kremlin's next move, two small nations sitting virtual ly at the Krem lin's doorstep go calmly about their business. They are Greece and Turkey n e w e s t members nf the North 1'hil resom. Atlantic Treaty Organization. , Perhaps they're calm because in their minds there is no doubt about what they will do in the case of Russian aggression. They'll fight, and that s all there is to it. . Between them they have the largest, immediately effective non-Communist army in Europe. The Turkish army numbers 350,000 men and Turkey's com pulsory military service has pro duced a trained potential of 2,000.000 reserves. Greek Army Smaller The Greek army is smaller but equally tough. It has 182,000 men. Both have had extensive mili tary and civilian aid, chiefly from the United States. Both have been good investments. The Turks have received from the United States in the neigh borhood of $600,000,000 in mili tary and civilian aid, and the Greeks even more. Brigades Distinguish Selves Turkish and Greek brigades have distinguished themselves in the fighting in Korea where their proficiency with the bay onet is enough to impress even the toughest Communist. Perhaps it is because they are Opinions on Steel Seizure Salted With T-H Act References By C. LYLE WILSON Washington (U.R) T h e nu merous opinions by which a ma jority of the Supreme Court de nied President Truman's right to seize the steel industry were salted with references to the Taft-Hartley act. -The CIO and the steel union rejoiced that the court did not direct or suggest that Mr. Tru man employ the act. They and the President despise that law about equally. The opinions did emphasize, however, that if Mr. Truman wanted to do any seiz- By E. V. Durling Features Syndicate.

The judge said it was not necessary for a young wom an to inform a prospective hus band about any artificial aids to the beauty of face or figure she habitually used. Keep this in mind, young fellow. Try to check before marriage if you can. Remember, nowadays they even have "falsies" for bathing suits. ThatFlah As to the question whether any fish could swallow a man, a white shark can. In fact, a white shark can swallow a horse or a bullock. A sperm whale can also swallow a man. In fact, It is claimed that a sperm whale did swallow an English sailor named James Bortley, who was subse quently rescued and lived to tell the tale. Seventh Child ' Mrs. Mary Susdorf, of Ur bana, 111., is the seventh child of a seventh child. Mrs. Susdorf says she has been lucky all her life. She has had nine children, all still living. She says her sev enth child, a son, has also always been lucky. He is an aeronauti cal engineer who has never been sick a day in his life. '.He has flown thousands of miles without an accident. Over There Not all of the GI Joes who married European charmers brought their brides back to this country. Some of the lads settled down in Europe. As for exam ple. Nick Plate and Sam Mole, both ex-GI's, married two Ital ian girls. Nick and Sam settled down in Rome where they oper ate an eatery called "The Shang hai Restaurant," which special izes in chop suey and other Chi nese dishes. Get It Right A commentator on music, who should know better, said that Anton Dvorak spent only "a very brief period" in the United States and all of that in New York. Dvorak spent three years in New York City as an in structor at the National Conserv atory of Music. He lived at 327 East 17 St., Manhattan. He also Nations Business Doorstep in the very front line of the bat tle to confine Communism and see but do not fear it, that neith er in-Greece nor Turkey is there any of the anti-American feel ing which crops up even in such friendly nations as France. . No "Yankee go home" signs there. ' ' Nor have the two nations been content . simply to build their separate armies. A Turkish delegation recently visited Greece. Now King Paul and Queen Frederika of Greece are visiting Turkey. Economical ly, also, the two' nations are at tempting to strengthen their bonds. Militarily Important It is impossible, of course, to over-estimate Turkey's military importance to the free world. She is the guardian of the Dar danelles which, with Suez and Gibraltar, provide the key to de fense of the Mediterranean and the whole of the underbelly of Europe and North Africa. Because of Turkey's position at world crossroads, she is able to influence both the Balkan state of Europe and the Arab states of the Middle East. Eco nomically, Turkey is tied to the West. Historically and from the -standpoint of religion she is tied to the East. Turkey borders directly on Russian territory for 250 miles and the Turks are convinced of Russia's aggressive intent. Would Be Calamity The Turks accept the finality of the words: 'Let Russia get possession of Turkey and her strength is in creased nearly half and she be comes superior to all the rest of Europe put together. Such an event would be an unspeakable calamity to the Western cause." They were written nearly J00 years ago by Karl Marx, father of Communism. ing, Taft-Hartley was the path toward it, or one of them. In Firm Language 'The sting of the court's opin ions Was in the firm language in which some of the justices held tha the labor law actually showed the intent" of Congress to forbid seizure of industry jas Mr. Truman undertook to seize it. Three legal procedures were cited in one of the majority opin ions by which the President could have dealt with the steel dispute, two of them leading log ically toward seizure, if neces sary. Mr. Truman avoided those two and chose the third establish-, ed by the defense production act of 1950. Provided for Mediation That act provided for media tion of such labor disputes and with that authority Mr. Truman had set up the Wage Stabilization Board to which was assigned the steel mediation job. WSB struck out. l One of the two other" proced ures would have been under. Taft-Hartley. Under it the Presi dent may appoint a board of in quiry and obtain an injunction good for 80 days thereafter to prevent a work stoppage. In passing the Taft-Hartley act. Congress specifically rejected a proposal to write presidential seizure power into it. Instead, the act was drawn to permit the President to appeal to Congress for authority to seize or other necessary legislation if the 80 day cooling off period failed to chill. Established in 1948 ' The other procedure was es tablished in the selective service act of 1948. Under it, the plant of a producer who refused or failed on order to produce goods essential to the armed services or the Atomic Energy Commis sion may be immediately seized by the President. The court did not say the Taft Hartley act was good or bad. but insured that it was on the books kind available. Mr. Truman call ed it the worst possible means of dealing with the steel dispute al though he slapped his old en emy John L. Lewis with it, and hard. The Senate has voted that Taft-Hartley is the proper in strument, and should be used now. On the Taft-Hartley act the three branches of government line up this way: executive, hos tile, judicial, neutral, legislative. Senate favorable.
