progressively bad in recent
point of view, as more and more homes have been
built along the banks, and
fishing stretches.
Under the Oregon Game Commission's program,
44 access points will be established on the Rogue be
tween Gold Beach at the mouth, and Prospect, 150
miles upstream. Some of the entryways will be easy
to arrange, such as those on national forests or county-
owned land. At some points access has been donated
by private owners, in some instances leases have been
negotiated, and in others outright purchase of land
has been necessary.
THE access sites will consist of tracts of river front-
age containing from one to iuu acres witn space
for roads, bank fishing, boat ramps, and parking
areas. Of the sites approved for development, 18 will
be for bank fishing, eight will be developed as boat
launching sites, and 18 will accommodate both boat
launching and bank fishing.
All the access points will be designated by con
spicuous posters so that they may be readily located
by the public.
ZOST of the sites is set at $35,000 and the money
will be derived from the federal tax on sports
angling gear. This money is distributed to the states
to improve sports angling under the Dingle-Johnson
act.
In addition to obtaining the land, the commission
will undertake clearing, leveling, graveling, some rip
rapping to protect stream banks, road construction,
and fencing.
COR the frustrated fishermen who have been com-
pelled to cast their lures in such less desirable
spots as may be reached from nearby roads, or build
or rent boats especially designed for the river, the
Rogue access program is the most significant ever
launched in this area by the commission. E.C J1.
Chicago and the GOP
Chicago as the convention city was neither a happy
nor an unhappy augury for the Republicans. They
have met there in 12 previous election years, and in
five of those 12 they lost the election to the Demo
cratsin 1884, 1912, 1916, 1932, and 1944 for a
batting average of .583
convention city.
A ND that is exactly the batting average achieved by
"the Republicans when they didn't meet in Chicago.
They have gone to other cities Philadelphia (five
times), Cleveland (twice), Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Louis (once each) in
twelve previous election years, and in five of those 12
also lost the election to the Democrats.
(It will be noted that the Republicans have never
picked New York for their national convention. The
Democrats have met there twice, in 1868 and 1924.)
f HICAGO as the convention city is a better augury
for the Democrats than for the Republicans. The
Democrats have met there in seven previous election
years in 1864, 1884, 1892, 1896, 1932, 1940, and
1944and in only two of these seven did they lose
the election to the Republicans, for a batting average
of .714 for Chicago as the Democratic convention
city. R. S.
Congressional Quiz
Questions and Answers on What Goes on at the Capital
Furnished by Congressional Quarterly News Features
Q. Since the President was so
critical of the controls bill pass
ed by Congress, why didn't he
veto it?
A. Mr. Truman said July 1
that had he not signed the bill,
authority to continue the defense
production and stabilization pro
gram would have expired. With
enough funds to administer the
act, and with no panic buying
or sudden worsening of the for
eign crises, we may "get through
the next 10 months without ser
ious damage to the economy,"
he said. But he asserted that
the new law "forces us to take
a serious gamble."
Q. The merchandise I sell is
already below ceiling prices. Do
I still have to go through the
red tape of reporting to OPS?
A. No. The new controls law
which took effect July 1, frees
sellers from complying with gov
ernment reporting requirements
on any materials or services be
ing sold below ceilings.'
Q. I notice Congress passed
a bill to keep National Guard
divisions on active duty for five
years. Will that mean longer, ser
vice for boys in uniform?
A. No. The legislation, ap

does not make any difference
in how long individuals will

O Why didn't the Presi
dent cut off aid to Italy after
it shipped grinding machines to

A. The President June 24
told Congress he acted on the
recommendation of Mutual Se
curity Director W. Averell Har
riman who said halting U.S. aid
to the Italians would "seriously
jeopardize Italian participation
in our united effort." Under the

Security Administrator, asked
Congress June 23 to enact leg

Matter of Fact
AFTER THE VICTORY
Chicago Even in the jubil
ant aftermath of Gen. Eisenhow
er's triumph, the bitterness still
filled the Republican convention
hall. Although Sen. Robert A.
Taft was a wonderfully good
sport about it, the rank and file
of the Republican Old Guard
are taking their resounding de
feat as badly as possible.
For the first time, a Republi
can candidate has been nominat
ed without any compromise or
deal with any Old Guard fact
ion or group; and that basically,
is why the bitterness is so great.
These reporters would venture
the opinion that this very fact is
one of the greatest advantages
Eisenhower carries into his cam
paign for the presidency.
Most people think the enven
omed fight here has hurt the Re
publican party by displaying its
divisions. These reporters would
argue, rather, that Gen. Eisen
hower's candidacy has been
helped by the public spectacle
of the whole Republican Old
Guard angrily fighting Eisen
hower, by fair means and foul,
and every step of the way.
rpHE REASONS for this here-
-- tical view are contained in
the story of the past, and in the
picture of the national Republi
can party that this convention
has offered.
From 1940 onward, the Re
publicans have offered the coun
try moderate, progressive candi
dates "me too men and "left
ists" in the language of the Old
Guard. But in 1940, and in 1944
and in 1948, these moderate,
progressive Kepubiican candi
dates were invariably forced, for
many reasons, to compromise,
to fudge, to mumble and to be
insincere, because of the sur
viving Old Guard power in the
party.
Take the case of Dewey in
1948. He lost say the Old
Guardsmen, because he ran a
"me too" campaign. In fact, he
lost because of the farm vote.
Roy Dunn of Minnesota and
other farm state leaders begged
him on bended knees to make
a forthright, powerful farm
speech, plainly promising the
farmers they would lose none of
their gains of the last 20 years.
Dewey himself wanted to do so.
The Old Guard influence inter
vened. And Dewey lost the farm
vote and lost the election be-
caus, if you like, he was not
"me too' enough.
THE PLAIN truth of the mat
ter is that the Republican
Old Guardsmen have been like
large, elderly albatrosses around
the neck of each successive Re
publican candidate. Among the
broad masses of American vot
ers they have consistently
aroused the fear that the Re
publican party's return to pow
er will mean a return to the
smug reaction and the suicidal
isolationism that marked Repub
lican party policy in the 1920s.
Eisenhower, the Republican can
didate nominated over the Old
Guard's united opposition, is the
first of the party's nominees to
enter the lists with no alba
trosses. Here, in this convention, there
has been visual proof that this
is so. This convention has re
vealed a lusty, sane and realis
tic Republican party whose ex
istence would hardly be sus
pected by any one watching the
misleadingly conspicuous an
tics of the Neanderthal Republi
cans in Congress.
By an accident of political
geography, the Republican Old
Guardsmen and extremists are
over - repesented in the Con
gress, and especially in the Sen
ate. Here in Chicago, the right
wing Congressional Republicans
have been in Sen. Taft's corn
er, almost to the last man. But j
we have also seen here no less !
than 25 Republican governors,
most of them young, but vig-j
orous and progressive, repre- j
senting a grass-roots Republi-:
can party quite different from I

gress shows. And of these gov
ernors, no less than 22 have been
in the general's corner from the
start.
XTO PARTY that can muster
25 such governors is neces
sarily a minority party. Their
mere existence implies that the
Republicans can carry national
elections, if Republican national
candidates will only tackle na
tional problems in the spirit of
these governors tackling their
state problems. And developing
and insisting upon this kind of
a campaign is now the great
problem confronting Gen. Eis
enhower. Every kind of fudging and
dishonesty, every kind of shrill
ness and cheap appeal, will now
be urged upon him as good pol
itics. He is inexperienced as a
campaigner, and he may fall vic
tim to these false advisers as
others have before him. But let
him stand forward for what he
is a great American, humane,
sensibly but not venomously
conservative, oroaa in vision,.
speaking for honesty, fairness
and large- mindedness in gov
ernment. And then he will win.
For this very reason, these
reporters would also say that the
most interesting news of this
convention was the news of Gen
eral Eisenhower's trip east from
Denver. Those who accompan
ied him say that it was like wat
ching a horse that has stumbled
badly getting his feet under him
again and beginning his rush
down the straightaway. In oth
er words, on this short journey,
he seemed already to have
learned the campaigner's les
sons. TF THE event proves this to be
correct, the country will see
Eisenhow for what he is. And
the Republicans will at last
have the great prize within their
grasp.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Well, it's over. I wasn't watch
ing the clock, but it must have
happened about a quarter of
eleven (Friday) morning. It
was fairly obvious by Tuesday
that it was going to happen, and
by Wednesday night it was prac
tically certain.
The shadows cast by the tur
bulent sessions of Tuesday and
late Wednesday accurately fore
told the coming event.
H
OW DID it happen?
History repeated itself.
The old gave way to the new.
fTHERE WAS a brief moment,
of course, of elation. But as
these words are written, only a
few minutes after the final vote,
I imagine elation is giving way
to a sense of grave responsibility.
Political campaigns are waged
with promises. Of necessity, that
has to be. Promises are easily
made. But carrying them out is
another matter. That requires
courage and wisdom.
It takes FORTITUDE.
As one of General Eisenhow
er's followers, I'm sure he has
what it takes. But I'm equally
sure that at this moment his
mood is a solemn and serious
one. It is up to him to make
good. And there are grave days
in our nation's life.
TUT WHEN grave decisions
have to be made, he is capable
of making them. He proved that
when he took upon his shoulders
the responsibility of deciding to
postpone the Normandy invasion
for a day because of unfavorable
weather. His country's fate could
have rested on that decision. But
he didn't shirk it.
Once his decisions are made,
he is capable of carrying them
out. The success of the invasion
proved that.
WE'VE CHOSEN an able man
as the Republican party's
candidate for President in this
year of decision.
N
OW A word for the loser.
There have been plenty of
charges that Senator Taft, as the
pilot of the steamroller, would
bull his way through to victory
at any cost. So far as he is per
sonally concerned, it seems to
me, these charges have fallen
flat. He waged a hard-hitting
campaign, but I can remember
no personal blow of his that was
below the belt.
With the ambition of a life
time lying in ruins at his feet,
he came forward frankly and
I'm sure sincerely to shake the
hand of his successful opponent
and to pledge his best efforts in
what is now a common cause.
That, too, takes fortitude.
It takes good sportsmanship.
THERE WAS another great
American who set his heart
upon the Presidency Henry
Clay. Three times he sought it
in 1824, in 1832 and in 1844.
Three times he lost. But his
name is written in the pages of
our history as one of our illus
trious sons.
I'm sure the same will be true
of Senator Taft. He is still a sen
ator. We'll NEED him in the
senate in the critical years that
face us.
THERE HAS been much talk
to the effect that the heat
and the passions generated in
this pre-convention Republican
campaign will destroy the Re
publican party. I don't think so.
It is true that the convention
itself was tense and emotional.
The delegates at times were
strung to a high pitch. There
were moments when It looked
like a free-for-all might break
out on the floor that even the
police couldn't quell before vio
lence was done.
I think those were GOOD
signs not bad. It is in moments
of high emotion that men rise
to their best. We must remember
that the miracle of birth is ac
companied by pangs. What we
saw there on the convention
floor at Chicago were the birth
pangs of a new and fightingly
sincere Republican party.

'Red Dean' Stirs New
Row in Britain Over
Germ Warfare Charge
BY HOMER JENKS formal statements disassociating
United Press Correspondent
The gaitered, frocked, white
crested "Red Dean" of Canter
bury has stirred up another
first-class row in Britain and, as
before, there seems little the
British government or the
Church of England can do about
it.
This time, Dr. Hewlett John
son, Communism's highest rank
ing convert in Western church
circles, is embarrassing his gov
ernment and his church with his
ready endorsement of Chinese
charges that the U.S. is waging
germ warfare in Korea.
Back in London after a visit
to Red China, the 78-year-old
Dr. Johnson airily announced to
the press last week that he had
"irrefutable proof" U.S. planes
dropped germ bombs in Korea.
But questioning disclosed he had
not visited Korea, had not seen
any so-called germ raids, and
had not seen anyone infected by
the alleged germs.
Public reaction was quick.
Newspapers denounced him as
the "aging cockatoo of Com
munism." Forty or more Con
servative members of Parliament
signed a petition to Queen Eliz
abeth II, as head of the Church
of England, to remove the tall,
lean, cleric from the deanship
of Canterbury.
The public outcry finally
reached the pitch where Dr.
Geoffrey Fisher, archbishop of
Canterbury and primate of all
England, felt obliged to an
nounce that he will make a
statement Tuesday in the House
of Lords on the dean and his
mouthing of Communist propa
ganda. The archbishop gave no ink
ling of what he intends to say.
It seems a pretty safe guess he
will go no further than he and
preceding archbishops have done
in the past when the "Red
Dean" espoused embarrassing
Communist causes.
Four Occasion
On at least four occasions
since 1937, archbishops of Can
terbury have replied to public
criticism of Dr. Johnson with
Solution of Conflict
Between Tariff, Free
Trade, To
Washington (U.R) President
Truman called on 12 prominent
Americans today to solve the
conflict between stimulation of
trade with free nations and in
creasing U. S. restrictions on im
ports. Mr. Truman wrote the mem
bers of the Public Advisory
Board for Mutual Security that
"recent developments affecting
our trade policy may work at
cross purposes with the basic
objectives of the mutual security
program."
"On the one hand," he said,
"we are insisting that our friends
expand their own world trade;
on the other we seem to be rais
ing new barriers against imports
from abroad."
The President asked the board
to examine the "whole problem"
of U. S. foreign trade policies
and how they affect mutual se
curity program efforts "to
achieve economic strength and
solvency among the free na
tions." Board members are Sarah G.

the
church is powerless to act against
him or to silence him.
Dr. Fisher in 1949 said Dr.
Johnson could not be ousted be
cause he has not exposed himself
to a charge under either civil
or ecclesiastical law.
During the Lords' session
Tuesday, the Marquess of Salis
bury, government leader in the
Upper House, will give the gov
ernment's views on the "Red
Dean's" outspoken support of the
Communists and the campaign
for his removal.
Under similar circumstances in
1951, then Prime Minister Cle
ment R. Atlee rejected demands
that the government introduce
legislation to curb the dean. He
said it would be a mistake for
Parliament to intervene in
church affairs.
Dr. Johnson was given the
life-time job of dean of Canter
bury Cathedral, where he ranks
second only to the archbishop,
by King George V in 1931 on
the advice of the then Laborite
prime minister, Ramsay Mac
Donald. A Socialist even then, he em
braced Communism five years
later after visiting Russia for the
first time. He never has swerved
from the Communist line since.
With all the time he has de
voted to Communism, Dr. John
son has not neglected the duties
for which he is paid $4,720 a
year by the Church of England
and given free use of the 20
room deanery.
He is head of the cathedral's
administrative organization and,
as required by church law,
spends at least 240 days a year
within the cathedral precincts.
When at home, he presides over
the even-song in the choir of the
cathedral Sunday evenings.
But even in his sermons his
words are tinged with Commu
nism. He refers to the Virgin
Mary as "passionately devoted
to the cause of the underprivil
eged" and Moses as "a strike
leader against a despotic, imper
ialistic ruler."
