Editorial Correspondence
New York City, N.Y., June 27th: Hold onto your hats, boys
and girls, we are going around a curve!
When Senator Morse demands the removal of Secretary
Acheson because of the state department's passport policies, we
disagree with him 100.
And we are not upholding the passport policies. They may
be as bad as our Junior Senator maintains or they may not be.
That is not the point. Not as we see it.
The point is that no public official, in this administration or
any other, should be condemned and kicked out of office without
first appraising his record objectively, and as a WHOLE.
Such an appraisal, in this department's judgment, would
clearly establish the fact that Secretary of State Acheson has
been, not only a GOOD State Secretary, but all in all the BEST,
with possibly one exception, in the past quarter of a century.
Acheson has been the highest type of unselfish, able and con
secrated public servant. At a great sacrifice financially, and even
more in comfort and peace of mind, he has devoted himself un
tiringly day and night to the welfare and betterment of his coun
try and to the peace of the world.
To demand now his immediate removal, his return to private
life discredited and in disgrace,
derstatement uncalled for and
It is hard to believe a man
lightened, as we know Wayne
consideration of the matter, hold
this morning's press reports, he
troversy. ;
Such extreme action will meet with the approval of the Jen
ners and McCarthys of course. But we can't believe it will ever
meet with the approval of those who have a comprehensive
knowledge of the Acheson record, of the man and of his construc
tive accomplishments during the past critical decade.
The above will surprise some of our readers, especially those
who have never understood this paper's strong and often-expressed
admiration for Oregon's junior Senator. We know one person .it
will NOT surprise, howeve that person is the senator himself.
For we have often expressed our great admiration for Dean
Acheson and frankly criticized, in the past, Morse's attitude
toward him it happens to be one issue regarding which we never
have agreed. We have simply decided to agree-to-disagree as far
as Truman's Secretary of State is concerned and let it go at that.
And frankly, the undersigned welcomes this disagreement.
For through the years, agreeing one hundred per cent on prac
tically everything Senator Morse said and did, aroused a suspicion
that we had lost our sense of discrimination and had become a
type we detest particularly in the newspaper business a blind
and syncophantic "YES-man." (Of course we knew better than
that really but it was a sort of vagrant fear and doubt from time to
time.) Now we know we have agreed with Mr. Morse because
he has been right at least as we have seen the right and when,
for the same reason he has been wrong, we have not agreed with
him, as in the present instance. That clears the atmosphere so to
speak and in these dog days here in New York, anything that
can clear the atmosphere should be doubly welcomed.
The idiotic hero-worship of "Sugar Ray Robinson" by local
sports experts continues.
The apogee whatever that is was reached this morning
when Jesse Abramson of the Herald-Tribune devoted nearly two
columns to a post-mortem of the fight declaring that Referee Ruby
Goldstein (who with the aid of the humidity knocked himself out
in the 10th round) could have rendered the decision to Sugar in
that 10th on the same ground he had rendered the decision to
Saxton some months ago on the ground he outclassed his opponent
Minelli the bout was declared therefore a mis-match, with Sax
ton the winner.
As if this were not the supreme limit, the sapient Abramson
went on to say that naturally Maxim was not floored by the heat
for he did nothing but serve as a punching-bag for "the greatest
fighter the world has ever seen," therefore there was no more
reason for his collapsing than for a man who might have been
watching some "other man dig a ditch." In other words, "Sugar"
was the ditch-digger, Maxim the
sidewalk above!
Sorry there will be no movies to prove our point, but if this
isn't tops foe muddled logic and school-boy adulation what in the
world could be?
Here is "the greatest fighter
classing so completely his opponent that he SHOULD have been
declared the winner (before he collapsed) and yet this greatest
fighter with "his superb and devastating offensive" made so little
impression, upon HIS opponent, that the latter never batted an
eye, missed a sidestep or feint, and when HIS (Maxim's) opponent
was out on his feet, did a jig in the middle of the ring, ana was as
cool and collected as a pedestrian "watching a man dig a ditch!"
, Add that up and see what you get!
FANTASTIC!
Now "Sugar Ray" it is stated, wants a rematch. But not for
15 rounds, he only, wants ten THIS time.
For what? So he can claim being the champion in three
classes: welterweight, middleweight and light heavyweight. OK
as far as this department is concerned but WHAT a farce!
Sugar isn't a heavyweight, light or dark. He never will be.
He can outbox any one on two legs for 10 rounds no doubt, but
that doesn't prove that he is the champion light-heavy in the world
any more than it proves he can out-play Jackie Robinson on sec
ond base. Let Sugar stick to his class or quit and as he is .getting
along as a fighter and has over a million dollars in the bank, our
advice would be the latter.
But probably he will be no smarter than Joe Louis and keep
on and on until some younger and better man really knocks
him out with no assist from the climate, or the adoring New
York sports writers. R.W.R.

Matter of Fact
MOTIVES OF IRVING. IVES
Washington Senator Robert
A. Taft's biggest tantrum to date
was touched off last week by
his fellow Republican and long
time colleague, Senator Irving
Ives. The trouble started with
a report that Senator Ives did
not want to run for fe-election
in New York on a Republican
ticket headed by Senator Taft
as Presidential nominee.
Senator Taft was extra touchy
that morning, because the Gal
lup poll had just forecast that
he would be badly beaten by al
most any Democrat, whereas
any Democrat would be heavily
defeated by General Dwight D.
Eisenhower. At any rate, when
reporters asked the Ohio Sena
tor about the reluctance of Ives
to run on the same ticket with
him, he took off like a flushed
partridge. He denounced Sena
tor Ives, Governor Thomas E.
Dewey and Dr. George Gallup
for 30 minutes by the clock,
without pausing for breath.
Among other things, Senator
Taft furiously attacked the re
port about Senator Ives as mere
"Dewey propaganda." In this,
at least, Senator Taft erred.
In the first place, Senator
Ives relationship with Governor
Dewey " can best be described
as friendly but remote. Dewey
did not want to run Ives for the
Senatorship six years ago. Ives
was nominated because of his
personal and independent
strength among New York Re
publicans. Both men still vividly
recall these important facts. All
the amenities are preserved, but
neither the Governor nor the
Senator makes propaganda for
the other.
In the second place, Ives very
definitely does not want to run
on the same -ticket with Senator
Taft, for the extremely simple
reason that he thinks he would
be beaten. And this is true al
though, man for man, Ives is
probably the strongest Senator
ial candidate in either of the
major parties in New York State.
In fact, young Franklin Roose
velt is now resisting pressure
to accept the Democratic Sena
torial nomination, partly because
he does not hanker to make the
race against Ives.
TVES has put his problem bleak-
ly and plainly to a great many
of his friends. The minimum
normal Democratic majority in
New York is now around 500,
000 votes by his estimate, in
which almost all other experts
concur. With Senator Taft as
Republican Presidenital nomi
nee, Ives thinks that the upstate
Republicans would come out to
vote in larger numbers than
usual. But he also thinks that
the Democrats would vote abso
lutely solidly against Senator
Taft. He is sure that many Eisenhower-minded
Republicans
would desert their party. And
he is also sure that most of the
crucial independent voters
(scorned by Taft as mere mug
wumps) would join the Demo
crats. In these circumstances, Ives
forecasts that the margin gained
by Senator Taft among the or
thodox upstate Republicans
would amount to less than noth
ing, when balanced against his
losses. In ,short, although ex
tremely confident of his own
standing in the state, Ives be
lieves Taft would lose New York
by such a heavy majority that
he would bring down the rest
of the Republican ticket in his
own ruin.
"All you have to do is add,"
is the leitmotiv of Ives' talks
with those close to him. "Our
party just can't cary New York,
or California, or a lot of other
states we've got to carry for
that matter, unless we pick a
Presidential nominee who will
be strong with the independents
and have some appeal to the
many discontented Democrats.
We can do it with Ike, but we
can't do it with Bob Taft."
Hence Ives now defin:f?Iv

and profitable private job. It
must be added, however, that
party loyalty may overcome
Ives' own desires and interests.
With his personal strength in
New York, Ives would help his
party to retain its control of the
State Senate, even though de
feated himself. He also told
friends that if Governor Dewey
and the other party leaders press,
him to run- again for this reason,
he "hardly knows what he will
do." '
SINCE these views of his began
to be known, Ives has said
nothing for quotation except a
prim "no comment." This, in it
self, speaks volumes. There is
no doubt whatever that the fore
going is an accurate summary
of the New York Senator's atti
tude and opinions.
Maybe Senator Taft is right
and Senator Ives is wrong. May
be Senator Taft is right and Dr.
Gallup is wrong. Maybe Senator
Taft can win nationally by the
kind of campaign he waged in
Ohio, although it would have
been gross flattery to call
his Ohio opponent a political
zombie. But it is still fairly
meaningful that at least 90 per
cent of Senator Taft's support
comes from the rockbound Re
publican states and the Southern
rotten boroughs, whereas the Re
publicans in the vital swing
states all but unanimously op
pose the Taft candidacy.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
If you look at it right, here is
a fascinating, as well as im
mensely significant little story
from Washington:
"Eight Oregon and Washing
ton young people including
one girl are participating in
the Young Men's Christian As
sociation's national youth-in-
government council discussions.
"The sessions, which will end
Mo.nday, deal with foreign pol
icy, economics, national defense
and individual freedom. A round
of sight-seeing and a visit with
President Truman are also on
the program."
IIHAT are these young people.
' ' who come from big and lit
tle towns all over Oregon and
Washington, doing?
Why, in their FORMATIVE
years they are getting a first
hand look at the processes of
their national government. They
are chosen from among young
sters who have already served
in model YOUTH legislatures in
their own stastes.
So, you see, when they get
back home they will have a pret
ty good ' working knowledge of
government at ALL levels.
TT IS a priceless experience for
"- them, and it ought to be of
tremendous value to our country
as a whole. If we have one need
that is greater than another, it
is to get the RIGHT kind of peo
ple into the government to
get rid of the cynical notion
that politics is a degrading bus
iness which the "right" kind of
people should avoid as they
would avoid the plague.
I hope these young people, as
a result of the opportunities they
have had, are attracted to gov
ernment service. I hope what
they have seen will convince
them that service to their gov
ernment is a RESPONSIBILITY
to be assumed and not a personal
privilege to be sought.
TN THE news of today there is
another story we all should
read. It is TRAGIC. It wrings
our hearts. But it tells us some
thing about our country we need
to know.
It has to do with Platoon Ser
geant Jerome F. Sears, Port
land, Oregon, and Corporal El
mer A. Scott, of Nunica, Michi
gan. Their platoon was under
attack in the grim hills of Kor
ea. With Chinese artillery lay
ing down a carpet barrage, com
munist infantry in overwhelming
force attacked the American po
sition. Let's tell the story from
here on in the wods of Sergeant
Gene Hayes, of Cleveland, Ohio:
"Sears and Scott ordered us
to withdraw. But instead of
withdrawing themselves they
slipped to the side of the hill
and opened fire on the Chinese
to DRAW THEIR FIRE while
we pulled out.
"Although both were badly
wounded, they continued to fire
on the advancing enemy. When
last seen alive, they were
fighting hand to hand with a
group of Chinese soldiers."
rjUR platoon pulled back. A
" counter - barrage was called
for. Our artillery blasted tbe
communists. On the heels of it,
our men charged back up the
hill with bayonets fixed and
drove off the Chinese, thus pull
ing victory out of defeat.
They found the dead bodies of
Scott and Sears.
H
EROES?
Yes! A thousand times, yes!
But they were more than that.
They were LEADERS. The bus
iness of a leader is to look out
for his people. Scott and Sears
did that. They saved their men,
and their men rallied and SAV

Churchill Has No

Despite the rumblings against
him in his homeland, Winston
Churchill has no intention of
stepping down as prime minister
of Great Britain for at least an
other year.
Friends say the 77-year-old
warrior is determined to remain
at 10 Downing street tradition;

Meantime he expects to deal
with political uprisings against
his virtual one - man rule of

these are mere skirmishes that
make his declining years more
interesting.

Took Bull by Horns
As usual, Churchill took the
bull by the horns and appeared
personally before the rebellious
Tories last week. He answered
their complaints and left the
meeting in undisputed com
mand of the situation and of the
party.
To suggestions that he retire
because of his age, he said he
was prepared to do so whenever
his mind or his health showed
signs of failing. Neither has, he
said. Moreover, he said, age
alone is no criterion of ability.
He is fond of recalling that
William E. Gladstone still was
prime minister at 85.
Others had contended the
government was accomplishing
so little it was losing the sup
port of the voters, as evidenced
in recent Labor party victories
in municipal elections.

Anti-Vivisection
To The Editor: Vivisection
(the use of living, and often con
scious animals for medical and
surgical research and experimen
tation) represents needless bar
baric suffering and agony to
"man's best friend," his dog.
It is unnecessary to the phys
ical welfare of the human race
(according to certain eminent
medical authorities). It has made
little or no contribution to med
ical and surgical science '. . .
that could not have been bet
ter accomplished through other
means (as also attested by these
medical authorities).
The vivisectionists prefer not
to admit that they have been
wrong . . . persist in this abuse
of our pets. The laws of some
states and cities force dog
pounds to turn over all dogs
in their possession (your
pets) to medical research labor
atories and medical schools for
vivisection. These laws were
passed under the pressure of
medical groups under the guise
of "essential to medical research
for human welfare" these laws
have since proven erroneous by
these very institutions them
selves, by way of failure to sub
stantiate their claims.
Furthermore, officials of these
institutions maintain that these
animals in most cases are given
the same pre and post operative
care in sanitation and pain pre
vention as is given humans. How
ever, when the "iron curtain" of
secrecy in these laboratories has
been broken through by those
of us interested in this, work,
much evidence has been revealed
to prove the unsanitary, some
times filthy, conditions to which
these unfortunate animals are
subjected before, during and aft
er operations and experiments
of the most heinous nature.
Many of the tests and experi
ments, all needless and without
justifiable results, would make
the torture chambers of some
of the world's worst war lords
look mild indeed!
Few, if any, of these experi
ments have resulted in the ad
vancement of medical and sur
gical science yet they are
methodically repeated, over and
over again, on other helpless
animals. '
The comparatively few dis
coveries that man have proven of
value to man could have
been faster and better
achieved through other means
and without resorting to such
barbaric torture (certain eminent
medical authorities, have testi
fied to this, in fact are ashamed
of this blot on their profession)
yet vivisection, in all its hein
ous barbarism goes on, and on
behind closed doors.
