C, June 19 able leg-work, we have reached a number of decisions, among them: IF General Eisenhower is beaten by Senator Taft at Chicago it will be the result of dirty work. And we don't mean the sort of "dirt" that can be washed off readily in the nearest comfort station. This "dirt" will stick to mignt not be completely washed e More and more, the G.O.P. convention situation resembles the situation of 40 years ago when Robert Alphonso's father was the choice of the party PROFESSIONALS and ex-President Theodore Roosevelt of the AMATEURS and Had the members of the Republican party had a chance to vote at Chicago In 1912, Wm. Howard Taft would have been beaten even more decisively than he was in the subsequent election. But they didn't. Taft won then, simply by running his steam-roller over the opposition, with Elihu Root, a master and ruthless tac tician, at the wheel. We haven't talked with an who can see how his more able, FAIL to do the same. (And after 10 days in this eastern "Agua Caliente" we have to admit our former Eisenhower optimism has wilted considerably, but we still insist the chief reason is this is "Taft's town." We hope for a more stimulating and cheering polit ical atmosphere by the shores of Lake Michigan). e a Another blow to the local fighting and forceful speech, at smarter thing or one more Ihrew away his prepared speech, ditched his stable of smart guys and high paid ghost writers and struck out with both fists swing ing, for HIMSELF IKE D. EISENHOWER, late of Abilene, Kan sas! As one of the local press boys said, when the general started a few days ago to repeat the old discredited campaign cliches "Ike can take care of his ENEMIES, but God save him from his FRIENDS!" In view of last night's refreshing change, we think "Ike" may yet fool the wise boys and save bit of a prayer thrown in.) There is another conclusion very interesting, but somewhat The longer a man stays in the Congress, Upper or Lower house, the less HONEST he becomes. There are, of course, exceptions notable ones. But by and large we believe that claim can be supported by overwhelming evidence. We don't mean they-all become, as time goes on, COR RUPT that they lie or steal. Nothing crude like that. We refer to what is generally known as "INTELLECTUAL honesty" Integ rity of character a refusal to be instead to play the game on the frank, open, above-board. A bit It is our contention that the Congress, AS A WHOLE, those who are, in a sense, permanent guests as contrasted with the transients, owe their security or believe they do to a certain ability to equivocate and double talk to take shortcuts, to flim-flam their constituents and other customers not by saying what ISN'T true but by refusing to say certain Important things that ARE true, when In their Judgment, telling "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," would neither be as easy, or as profitable politically to THEM SELVES. We could give examples and cite cases but perhaps we better leave it at that. We imagine there is nothing very new or startling in this discovery the undersigned probably -was Just a bit slow in reaching it. Perhaps it only adds up to what, through the years, experience has shown to be, to most observers, merely "SMART politics!" There Is another noticeable fact: The habit of condemning phrases out of context Is growing Even President Truman yesterday followed Senator Taft's ex ample and in his speech at the U chlded General Eisenhower for reduce taxes by some 40 billion "An absurd statement! said And of course it WAS.

Cupid Slowing Up Unless there is a considerable increase in the num ber of marriages in the remaining days of June, 1952, despite the fact that it is Leap Year, will go into the record books as another bad one for cupid. The widespread slump in nuptials is well estab lished, according to the Federal Security Agency. While nearly 1,700,000 couples were married in 1950; in 1951 the total was down by four per cent. Marriage license bureaus throughout the United States report that it will be still lower this year. A ND even when the nuptial noose has settled over their heads, the matter of marriage is still more uncertain than in former days. The June bride of 1952 js more likely than was her visit to the divorce court; and much more likely than was her grandmother. Between 1890 and 1949, latest year covered by National Office of Vital Statistics data, the divorce rate rose from .0o divorces per thousand of population to 2.7 per thousand. The all time high 4.3 divorces per thousand was record ed in 194G, the first year after World War II. a ASSUMING that her mother was married in 1932 or thereabouts, the June bride of today is a child of the depression era. The low marriage and birth rates of the early 1930's undoubtedly are the principal cause of the present slump in marriages. E.C.F. WRINKLES IRONED OUT Memphis, Tenn.

Letters submitted for publication must On Cloud Seeding j testimony by an Oregon VFW To the Editor: After reading official, the Senator leaped to a the last two communications in your paper regarding the cloud t seeding operations I should like to make a few comments. One woman stated we should let Cod and nature alone. I wonder if she is letting nature alone when she waters her garden or uses fertilizer. Perhaps we should re trogress to the beginning of time unharness electricity, un dam the dams, put all the tim ber back in the forests, disman tle all means of transportation and use our God-given legs. Of course, this would mean no mo dern conveniences, cooking on an open camp fire and washing our grass skirts in the rivers. But, perhaps we shouldn't even have grass clothing as God made us without such items. All people who have strived for progress have had trouble and met up with dissenters, but we are happy this day that there have been those who forged ahead to make our lives easier with electrical appliances, ma chine-made clothing and production-line factories. Another thing that would be interesting to know is where these people, who are so set against hail prevention and a lit tle washable smudge dirt, derive their income. If it were not for the orchardists, farmers and log ging industries this valley would be the desert it was before these enterprises were started. The grocers and clothiers, the realtors and bankers, the packing houses and canneries, the fuel suppliers and service stations, plus nu merous others would all be out of business! All who are to eager to build barricades before the wheels of progress in this valley, but whe are willing to make their share off the farmer, should stop and consider all sides of the question before Jumping to conclusions. As has been pointed out, there are no final conclusions as yet. Please give them the opportun ity to prove their theories con clusively, s One other comment: The writ er of Monday's communication stated sliver iodide is being used here to dissipate the clouds, yet in a nearby article it said Wash ington cloud seeders are using it to induce rain. Which shows the ordinary individual knows little about the situation and actual results. Once again I beg give them a chance. It may mean your livelihood. A farmer's wife. Mrs. W. O.

Senator Morse will take a walk and be come silent. When I read the Senator's statements to this ef fect in our local paper I tried to picture a brass band and a couple of steam caliopes under full steam walking in silence. At the same time I was re minded of the report in Stars and Stripes In 1951 on the 22 U.S. senators who were pressur ing for approval of a world gov ernment or world union resolu tion in Congress that would, in effect, supersede the Constitu tion of the United States Sen ators Morse of Oregon and Ke fauver of Tennessee drawing spe cial mention. Also Senator Morses testi mony before the Foreign Rela tions sub-committee page 5, par. 5 on the world federalist resolu tion: "If this resolution could not pass and I were then given only the choice of the Atlantic Union resolution, I would vote for it as the best that we could get under the circumstances.''

Date, Feb. 3, 1951 Also, I was reminded of my debate with Dr. Kenneth Lin ingston in Portland in 1951 on world government: he was then president of the United World Federalists, Oregon branch, this being just prior to their defeat in the Oregon legislature; when he stood in front of a large audi ence and read supporting state ments to his cause from Senator Morse who, in his own words, was one of their chief supporters in Washington, D. C, for world government. The senator should Interpret his statement as to what he con siders the welfare of the nation to be and not leave us gaping in anticipation. Does he mean a reapplicstion of the fundament als of our constitution? Or is he still flirting around with a later generation of the old Eugene V. Debbs philosophy? I suggest to the Senator that if the good old diet of the Amer ican way of life does not satisfy his spice demanding taste buds, he doesn't have to walk.

Because we are the leading nation, we have super ior manpower and morale. But who is trying to remove the superiority from our hands? Russia. The communistic re gime's religion is to conquer the world. Russian factories are hard at work turning out machines for one thing the destruc tion of our present way of life. But why haven't they struck yet. They are not quite ready. In a few years they will have su periority in the air, on land, and possibly the sea. But they are waiting for one other thing. What? The lessen ing of the solidarity of the Am erican people. How may this lessening happen? It is about to be accomplished as one can plainly see. What would happen if our next president was so wrapped up in his own self that he cared not for his nation? And who is running for president, that Is egotistical? Robert Taft. If Taft is elected our next pres ident, our foreign policy will be destroyed, all forces will be re moved from Korea. There will he unrest among otir people. Too much worry. Our civilian fo.k.-es will be mixed up. And Russia will strike. Therefore, the people of the United States have two choices prosperity, leadership, peace fulness, rest and kindness or Taft. Which is your choice, Mr. and Mrs. America? Lyle Rogers. Rt. 2, Box 468, Medford, Ore. Not Mad, Just Hungry ' Muskegon, Mich. (UP.)

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS An unarmed Swedish military plane is shot down in the Baltic by two Russian Miu ugmers.

Communist General Nam II blandly accuses us again of in cessant atrocities and slaughter ing of war prisoners. ne a cnange nis tune if we were strong enough to handle mm. THAT brings up the S4 ques tion: Why are we fighting in Korea? The only intelligent answer. I think, is that we're fighting there to prove to the communists that we can't be bluffed. But it is becoming fairly plain that the No. 1 reason for our prisoner trouble on Koje island is that we HAVEN'T MEN ENOUGH to man the fighting lines and han dle 170,000 prisoners of war at the same time. It looks like we'd better GET men enough there to handle the situation. Otherwise, we may lose everything we're fighting for in Korea. MORE harping on the same string: General Ridgway (our new SHAPE commander in Europe) arrives in Rome for a conference with Italian officials.

For 137 years the Swedes have refused to join foreign pacts or treaties. But internally, the Swedes have just about had enough, When Russian MIG-15 jets shot down an unarmed Swedish rescue plane over the Baltic Monday, Swedish newspapers called the attackers "Russian pirates." Angry crowds hooted and jrl outside the Soviet embassy. More impressive, Swedish air force fighters took to the air and a Swedish spokesman said pointedly that they were armed. At the same time, some Swe dish Communists were going on trial on what seemed to be an open and shut charge of spying for Russia. Each year since the end of World War II Sweden has been proclaimly religiously her neu trality in the hot and cold wars. Simultaneously, her relations with Russian have been deter iorating steadily.

It it true thai a state con vention can require lis delegates to national political conventions to vol en bloc, regardless of the preference of ihe minority? A. True only in the Demo cratic party, which permits state convention to instruct its dele gation to use the "unit rule," under which all votes go accord ing to the wishes of the delega tion majority. However, in the 18 states where some or all of the delegates are chosen by pop ulaf vote, the delegates so chos en can not be bound by the unit rule, except that In some states delegates are required by law to support the winner of the presidential preferential pri mary.

On the south, across the Baltic, she is about 200 miles from Rus-sian-controled Estonia. On her flank is Finland. In 1048 the Russians accused Sweden of planning to build bases for United States planes and parachute troops on Swed ish soil. The Russians also charged that a war party was attempting to control the Swe dish government. In 1949 the Russians accused the Swedes of mistreating Baltic nationals. Soviet Right Challenged In 1950, Sweden, along with the Danes, challenged the right of the Soviet Union to declare arbitrarily a 12-mile territorial limit in Baltic waters. But in that same period the Swedes have been equally firm in dealing with the Western na tions. For example, they declin ed membership in the North At lantic Treaty Organization. In 1946 Sweden entered in to a $200,000,000 long -' term credit agreement with Russia. Included in the agreement were delivery of Swedish locomotives and welding and tool machin ery, fishing smacks and other items which easily could be class ified as war material. The agreement, entered into over the protest of the United States, finally fell through through Sweden's actual or pre tended inability to produce. In any event, it was an illustration of Sweden's effort to remain a neutral. However, despite provocation, there is no reason to believe Sweden will change her tradit ional policy. She knows that, this time, she will not escape if war breaks out. But, as the British once regarded the Eng lish Channel, she sees neutrality as her best protection. has been investigating.

Q. I notice ihe only vote againti House passage of a GI bill for Korean veterans was cast by a veteran. What was hit rea son? A. Rep. James P. S. Dever eux, (R-Md.), who served in the Marines during World War II and is a member of the Veterans Affairs Committee which draft ed the bill, objected to the meth od by which it was brought be fore the House. It was not sub ject to amendment. He favored the bill but opposed features which he said discriminated fi nancially against numerous vet erans. The House passed the bill 361-1 on June 5. Q. Does the new foreign aid bill include the Kern amendment to put tricitr curbs on trade with ihe Redt? A. No. The Senate approv ed amendment by James P. Kem (R-Mo.), was knocked out of the bill during a House-Senate con ference. Existing legislation also bans such trade, but allows ex ceptions. The ban is enforced by cutting off aid to U. S. allies who send war-useful goods to Russia and its satellites.
