But don t be TOO sorry for the senators.
Remember that old gag in the old "Life?"

Wayne Morse wasn't there there were exactly four senators,
and one of them was giving a speech. On WHAT? On the St.
Lawrence Waterway, a topic that has been discussed ond cussed
by the railroads for nigh onto
action.
One of the nicest men in the Senate was giving the speech.
His name is Saltonstall, he hails from Boston, and he looks and
acts the part. We are quite sure one of these days his portrait will
hang in the Somerset club than which there is none-such! in
BOSTON; and all that portrait will lack will be a high white-stock,
side-burns, and a wig to render it indistinguishable from the other
Back Bay notables and patriots
ancestors.
Senator Saltonstall may not
champion Harvard crew which indicates he wasn't but there is
no doubt about his being a GENTLEMAN. HE IS! And in harmony
with President Eliot's definition

true true to himself and to those
he believes." It is refreshing and

senators present.
And they all asked questions,
who recently took unto himself a new and much younger wife,
and whether due to that or something else, has shown a much
more liberal and enlightened outlook, particularly concerning for
eign affairs, than was the case before he walked up the aisle for
the second' or third time!
The most interesting, puzzling and intriguing personality in
Washington at the moment is our old friend Senator Kefauver.
(That "old friend" is a joke, son; but we did shake hands with him
in Medford and get a chance to stroke his coon-skin cap.) We met
the Senutor, and his sound-truck, at the entrance to the Senate
Office Building yesterday as he started out on his sidewalk cam
paign for today's Primary election. His chief opponent is Mr.
Averell Harriman.
Here was the picture:
The handsome, smiling senator was sitting up on the tonneau
of the convertible as if all set to
multitude, his attractive wife sat
smiling, and we guess a bit conscious of her new chic bonnet
and proud of it there were several men in the car including one
well-nourished and dark-complected gentleman (who we imagine,
has some influence with the colored voters), and directly behind
was the sound-truck, grinding out a raucous hill-billy ditty, so
loudly that any intelligible conversation in the car, or near it
was practically Impossible.
Aside from the correspondent of The Medford Mall Tribune,
there was no one in sight. The Senator gave us a big wave of the
hand, beckoned us toward the car, and when we arrived presented
us with a handful of beaver-cap buttons marked, "Kefauver for
President."
"Remember Medford, Oregon? We shook hands with you there,"
was our offering. "I certainly do and how did you leave Medford
beautiful country out there, wish I was there now, out of this
heat," and the Senator smoothed a huge, and very clean hanker
chief daintily over his brow. Then the caravan moved on.
That was showmanship and smart politics, no doubt.
But it did seem highly incongruous in the shadow of the national
capitol, and only one wandering newspaper editor to be impressed
by it.
But according to the evening paper it went on all day, the
crime-crusader from Tenncsse shaking hands with pedestrians
all over the townsite while the loud-speaker shattered the nearest
ear drums, and Mr. and Mrs. Kefauver passed .out their charm
and good will and handshakes to all and sundry. " . '
The night before that the entire family including 80-year-old
Grandpnppy and 8-year-old daughter, with mumps were on
television, followed by a second television, Meet the Press, where
listes had a verbol rough-and-tumble with Senator Taft and in
his very quiet, gentlemanly fashion got the better of it.
But that is only one side of the picture and to the writer,
the least attractive side.
The other side we have obtained from the press boys here,
and it is a surprising one and highly complimentary. The news
paper men are practically unanimous in their respect and affec
tion for the Junior Senator from Tennessee. They regard him as
one of the ablest lawyers in the
well as In the field of protection of small business In the country,
and like Senator Morse, a terrificly hard worker and absolutely
honest. In SHORT, boys and girls don't sell this man Kefauver

pluces!
In this connection there is an
going the rounds in the Senate
ed hard for home-rule in the District of Columbia, which has been
bitterly lought by the Southern Senators, for It would probably
mean an end to all segregation as far as the colored people here are
concerned.
When the matter come to a
violent 'white supremacy" southern senators surprised everyone
by voting for It.
When asked to explain, this was his reply:
"Damn if I know. That man Kefaurtr lalkad so toft
and so nica, ha mutt hay last LOVED ma Into votln' for HI"
To date Senator Kefauver has
the presidential nomination, and it's a fairly safe wager, a goodly
percentage of them reacted in much the same fashion.

Matter of Fact
KENNAN IS DISTURBED
Washington According to
highly credible sources, George
F. Kennan is at least seriously
disturbed, if not downright
alarmed, as a result of his re
exposure to the peculiar atmos
phere of Moscow.
For several reasons, this first
reaction of our new Ambassador
to the Soviet Union is immeas
urably more significant than the
first, or indeed the last impres
sion of any ordinary diplomat.
Kennan, after all, is a partner in
the remarkable team of America
experts on Russia the other
member is Charles E. Bohlen
whose opinions have gone so far
to shape the policies of the West
ern world.
In his celebarted "Mr. X"
article in "Foreign Affairs,"
Kennan himself provided the
public rationale of America's
post-war dealings with Russia.
Knowing more than almost any
other diplomats about their sub
ject, Kennan's and Bohlen's
judgments have carried the
greatest weight in London and
Paris as well as Washington. On
many occasions they have prov
en the acuteness of their percep
tions. For instance, they both
warned, forcefully but fruitless
ly, that the Chinese would inter
vene in Korea if General Mac-
Arthur sent his armies to the
Yalu.
Then too, this first reaction
of Kennan's is important be
cause of a peculiar phenomenon
that is familiar to all diplomats,
and, indeed, to all newspaper
men who travel much aboard.
V"OU can visit a foreign coun-
- try with the greatest regu
larity. You can know all its
leading men and be closely ac
quainted with its history. When
absent, you can follow its trends
and tendencies through laby
rinths of documents. But when
you return to this country, you
rarely fail to be token by sur
prise by some unexpected
change of focus, emphasis or
atmosphere.
In Judging a foreign country.
there are no complete substi
tutes for breathing its air. smell
ing its smells and hearing its
sounds for the rude personal
contact with the foreign reality.
George Kennan, who was last
assigned to the Moscow embassy
in a subordinate post in the war
years, has now undergone this
renewed contoct with the real
thing. The result has been a
change of emphasis.
ine cnange oi empnusis nura-
ly amounts to more, according
to report, than an increase of
worry, of concern, and indeed I
of uncertainty about what the
next Soviet move may be. Yet
this change in Kennan is as
meaningful, In its way, as a sud
den change in racing odds by the
most expert bookmaker in the
business.
Since he expressed them
frankly and publicly, the views
held by Kennan when he left
for Moscow are easy to summar
ize. While no dreamer of empty
dreams about grandiose deals
with the Politburo, Kennan then
was sanguine about the possibil
ity by negotiating specific
S o v 1 e t-Ameriean differences.
While perfectly clear, too, that
the Soviets would never cease
their customary sapping, mining
and infiltrating. Kennan was
also very confident that the
Kremlin wished to avoid any
risk of general war.
tIERE one must note an abso-
lutelv vital fact. Kennan's
belief, that the Kremlin has
taught a lesson by Korea, and
will hereafter avoid moves in
volving risk of general war. has
been the central assumption of
American world policy for a
great many months. It heads the
planning papers. It has determ
ined the tempo of the defense
effort. It Is America's great cat
dilated risk. Thus Kennan's
doubts go to the very heart and
source of our world-action.
The particular phenomenon

that has most disturbed Kennan
is understood to be the Soviet
campaign of "Hate-America"
propaganda, which apparently
has to be seen at first hand to
be believed. Only a few weeks
ago all the propaganda stops
were pulled out, so that the in
tensity of venom against Amer
ica now equals the Soviet ven
om against the Nazis in war
time. The American people and
the American (instead of the
conventional "Imperialist Wall
Strecters") have suddenly be
come the main propaganda tar
gets. And these streams of ven
om are now, for the first time,
being beamed squarely at the
Russian people.
According to the high sourc
es already mentioned, Kennan
has made no final judgment on
the future meaning of the fan
tastic "Hate-America" campaign
and other unpleasant signs that
the Kremlin is preparing its
people for a time of peril. What
has hoppened, apparently, is
that Kennan's former confidence
that the Kremlin would shirk
major risks has been consider
ably diluted. Nor is this surpris
ing, for one suspects Kennan
argued himself into a certain
over-positiveness, in his constant
and courageous struggle against
the two simplified and extreme
view of the Soviets which is
common here.

Heat flashes in the news:
Angry Swedes call the Rus
sians LIARS today. The Russ
kies claim the Swedish plane
shot first and besides, they as
sert, it was over Russian terri
tory when the shooting started.
Swedish authorities say it was
a Catalina flying boat and total
ly unarmed so it COULDN'T
have started the shooting be
cause it didn't have anything to
shoot with. The Catalina's posi
tion, they add, has been defin
itely established by thorough ln
vetigotion that leaves not a
shade of doubt that it was over
international waters when it was
shot down.
THE DANES come into the pic--
ture.
In Copenhagen (Denmark's
capital) Admiral Quistgaard al
erts Danish airmen to SHOOT
BACK UNHESITATINGLY if
fired on by Soviet planes either
inside or outside Danish terri
tory. He adds that Danish military
units have had standing orders
since March to shoot back to
kill, without awaiting further
orders, if Soviet ships or planes
fire on any Danish unit.
TT MAY be only coincidence,
- but at least it is worth noting
that since March th Russians
haven't done ony shooting at any
Danish units.
T CAN'T HELP paying consider--
able attention to these Scandi
navaian developments because I
feel that I can BELIEVE them.
That is to say, it appears to
me that- the Swedes and the
Danes are merely telling us
what has happened, without any
ulterior motive.
They aren't trying to HAN
DLE anybody. They ore just let
ting the world know what has
been going on up there in the
Baltic.
TT HURTS ME to say It, but I
JL DON'T believe what OUR
high-ups tell us. I have the cyni
cal and sickening feeling that
when they give out news they're
feeding it to us to influence ei
ther our votes or the votes of
congress.
TAKE THE present situation,
We're told, all of a sudden,
that anti-aircraft batteries are
being installed around strategic
industrial cities and critical air
installations. At the same time,
we are Informed that from here
on out a 24-hour watch is to be
maintained around all our bor
ders because the Russians now
have the capability to attack us
and we can't afford any longer
to take the chance of another
Pearl Harbor.
Those are wise precautions, of
course. We would be foolish if
we didn't take them. And if we
are taking these precautions the
people should be told about
them because the lives and the
fortunes and the FUTURE of the
people are at stake.
An INFORMED people is a
PREPARED people.
TUT 1 FIND rising in my con
sciousness the cynical
thought that right now the ad
ministration is locked in a bitter
battle with congress on the issue
of money. Congress wants to
spend LESS of it. The adminis
tration wants to spend MORE
of it. Congress thinks we could
do just as well with less expendi
ture of the people's substance
that by wise economy we could
make the money we spend go
farther. The administration is
shocked by that idea.
SO
It could be that the adminis
tration is painting the situation
in dark and forbidding colors to
make it appear that in striving
for economy the congress is
playing fast ond loose with the
nation's fate.
T CAN'T HELP recalling that at
A the times when it has appear
ed to be good POLITICS to lead
us to believe that everything is
lovely and the goose is hanging
high (because of the wisdom
with which our foreign affairs
have been handled) we have
been told the GOOD news and
the bad news has been soft-pe
daled.
That leads to the uncomfort-
ond Kooser."
If the seeders represent pro
gress to farmer and orchardist.
no one stands in their way. But
if they have been an unmixed
blessing to our valley why did
a Mr. Beard, president of the
fruit growers' lenguc, say in last
Sunday'! Mail Tribune that the
last three years drought (during
which the anti-hail flights have
been made) have been almost
"disastrous" to the orchardists?
I erred when I mentioned sil

it had been used here. Actually
it is my understanding that some
sort of salt compound is utilized.

ministers . o f
I'hil Newsora
the West German Bonn govern
ment, France, Italy, Belgium,

up the machinery for unifying
Western Europe's coal and steel
industry.
Parliaments of each nation al
ready have ratified the plan pro
posed two years ago by French
Foreign Minister Robert Schu
man. War Seen Impracticable
In proposing his historic plan,
Schuman said an end result
would be that France and Ger
many would "no longer be
tempted to wage war. Indeed,
war between them will be im
practicable" with their heavy in
dustries merged.
The United States has played
a prominent role in supporting
the plan, which is to place the
continent's coal and steel indus
tries at the service of a common
market of 155,000,000 Euro
peans, and which is a Siamese
twin with the plan setting up a
West European defense com
munity. Will Weld Producers
It will weld Europe's coal and
steel producers until the year
2001 into a giant common enter
prise pouring out 220,000,000
tons of coal and 38,000,000 tons
of steel a year.
The gigantic, $4,500,000,000 a
year business will be run by a
nine-man council appointed by
the foreign ministers to be
known as the "high authority."
The high authority in turn will
be responsible to an assembly
elected by the parliaments of the
six nations and representing
both consumers and producers.
A law-enforcing court will put
teeth into the plan by having the
power to rule for or against any
member and to levy fines.
Would Abolish Tariffs
Aside from the generalities of
unification, here is what the
Schuman plan does:
Coal and steel tariffs will be
abolished between the nations
of the group.
Coal and steel workers will
be able to move from one nation
to another without passports or
visas. Coal from nearby areas in
France can be shipped to Ger
man cities like Munich in the
south more cheaply than it can
be hauled down from the north
of Germany.
An overall program to moder
nize the industries will be estab
lished.
Prices, as result, are expected
to drop, with corresponding de
creases in related goods.
Not Smooth Sailing
Despite the fact the plan has
received parliamentary anorov-
al, all is not yet smooth sailing.
Ancient rivalries and suspicions
were apparent in the arguments
over ratification, especially in
France and Germany and they
will be apparent again in at
tempts to set up the complicated
able feeling that at ALL times
we are being HANDLED.
T FIND THIS prayer more or
x less constantly in my thoughts:
Dear Lord, give us leadership
we can believe and TRUST.
Leaders who will tell us always
only the truth. Leaders who will
give us the facts, so that we can
act upon them. Leaders who will
resist constantly the temptation
to feed us only the information
which they think will be good
for us and which they are sure
will be good for THEM.
