MAIL TRIBUNE
What a Difference!
One lesson the Republicans must learn from this election,
if they hope to win in 1956, is that it takes all kinds of people
and all kinds of candidates to make up a political party. Repub
lican divisions hurt badly in several states, as in the opposition
to Senate-candidate Clifford Case in New Jersey on the grounds
of his "liberalism." This page has protested from the very first
those sections of the party which saw the, 1952 election as a
mandate for Senator Joseph McCarthy and as a mandate for stand
pat conservatism. ' V
We have a deep and abiding faith in the creative liberalism
of President Eisenhower. But the president has failed to bring j
several of these issues to a head, and he suffers now from that
failure. It is our hope that he will emerge f romr the present trial
by fire with a fuller determination to rebuild the Republican
party along lines of modern liberalism, such as Lincoln or Theo
dore Roosevelt would be advocating. Portland Oregonian. :
What a difference just a few days and a few
votes, can make. f
The doctrine expressed so pertinently, truthfully
and eloquently above was preached consistently by
the Mail Tribune throughout the recent campaign,
but if there were any similar sentiments expressed by
our highly respected contemporary we failed to note
them.
AXE will give the Oregonian credit for this : They
" gave a fair break to the political opposition in
the news columns throughout the campaign.. But ed
itorially it was, as usual 100 per cent for the Republi
can party and its candidates, regardless of their mer
it or the reverse.
And yet nothing was clearer throughout than that
Senator Cordon represented perfectly that opposi
tion to the Oregonian's "deep and abiding faith in
the creative liberalism" of President Eisenhower, for
which the paper has today such an admiration and
such a strong desire to see implemented in the G.O.P. !
Yes WHAT a difference !
1MOREOVER Oregon's senior Senator has and is
in general accord with those "Old Guard re
actionaries "who ganged up in New Jersey against
their own duly nominated candidate, Congressman
Case, and who DID see the 1952 election as a "man
date for Senator Joseph McCarthy and standpat con
servatism." AN it be that when the campaign started, the al-
ways well-informed Oregonian did not see this?
Can it be, by the same token, the Oregonian did
not know that, what it now proposes, quote : "that the
Republican party must be rebuilt along lines of mod
ern liberalism such as Lincoln or Theodore Roosevelt
would be advocating" had the constant and persist
ent . opposition of the Oregon senator the Portland
paper was so strongly supporting? Had Sen. Cordon
been returned as the Oregonian demanded, isn't it
plain that attitude would not only have been con
tinued, but the reactionary Republican forces the
paper now opposes would have been stimulated and
encouraged by the simple fact of his reelection?
AS; this paper pointed out repeatedly during. the
campaign, sending Dick Neuberger to the Senate
and retiring Senator Cordon, would be to uphold the
President, not repudiate him, uphold him not only
in his foreign policies, 'his tariff policies, many of his
domestic reforms, but his obvious wish to modernize
and liberalize his own party.
Again it is difficult for the Mail Tribune to be
lieve the Oregonian did not see these truths when the
lines were drawn at the outset of the campaign.
And yet not only the Oregonian, but the Oregon
Journal with far less excuse, having once been a
genuinely independent and liberal paper, came out
100 for the Republican senatorial candidate, who
the f ormer at least now indicates, does not repre
sent its own political convictions. How COULD he
THEN! '
It is all rather depressing. But as the Oregonian
says of the G.O.P. it all may prove to be a lesson that
MUST be learned, not only by the Republican party,
but the 100 standpat Republican press. R.W.R.
Thank The Portland Voters
We have received some congratulations on the
surprising 11th hour victory of State Senator Neu
berger, over U.'S. Senator Cordon.
We appreciate "them kind remarks," but really
can't take any particular credit for the outcome.
It is true, six years ago, here in Jackson county,
Senator Cordon defeated his opponent by nearly 7000
votes 6874 to be exact.
At the Tuesday election his majority was reduced
to 2357 which we grant is quite a reduction.
So we would admit a certain contribution to the
net result. But the voters of Multnomah without any
newspaper support at all, should be the ones con
gratulated on the outcome.
They DID THE. JOB as this department said at
the start of the campaign they would have to do if
Neuberger were to win.
So those Multnomah voters have rendered a real
service to the state, the nation, and as the Oregonian
above, is generous enough to imply to the REPUB
LICAN PARTY!
Hats off to them! R.W.R.

The plane's first cargo was

Plant manager R. L." Riggs
said the plane was used because
pickets surrounding the plant

"some form of communication

France put the full weight of his
growing prestige behind French
ratification of the London and
Paris agreements under which
Western Germany is to be re

would make ratification a mat

Assembly will start debate on
ratification Dec. 14.
2. The United Stales sent a
new note to Soviet Russia on
President Eisenhower's plan "to
form an international pool of
atomic resources for peaceful
purposes. Russia practically re
jected the plan after the Presi
dent first announced it. Recently
the Kremlin said it was ready
to resume negotiations. Presi
dent Eisenhower said he hoped
the sew American note "will
start a new phase in the U.S.-
U.S.S.R. negotiations which will
be more fruitful than the first
phase." The President empha
sized that he will push his
"atoms for peace" plan whether
or not Russia takes part.

2. The situation in the state

came so threatening that Presi

Lawton Collins on an urgent
mission there to investigate.
Under the Geneva agreement,
Viet Nam was split into two
parts. The Communist rebels got
the northern part. The southern
part remained a unit of the
Frpnrfi Union. Southern Viet
Nam has been beset for weeks
by a cabinet crisis. A White
House statement announcing the
Collins mission said that now it
is "confronted by dangerous
forces threatening its independ

3. West German Chancellor
K o n r a d Adenauer returned
home from Washington to find
himself facing a revolt over his

agreement unless Adenauer won
more concessions from French
Premier Pierre Mendes-France.
If West Germany failed to ratify
the Saar agreement, the French
Parliament undoubtedly would
refuse to ratify the agreements
under which the Bonn Republic
is to be armed and made a sover

People Congratulated by Judge
To the Editor: The Juvenile
Court of Jackson county, togeth
er with the Court's Advisory
Committee and the Juvenile De
partment, wish to express
through your column our appre
ciation for the assistance rend
ered by the many organizations
and individuals which made pos
sible the successful passage of
Juvenile Detention Measure (No.
9) on November 2nd's ballot.
" We are grateful for the vote
of confidence thus expressed in
our philosophy of the Juvenile
Court, and pledge ourselves to a
continuation of our work for the
welfare of the community and
its youth. .
We believe Jackson county is
to be congratulated for its inter
est in children in trouble and for
its courage to pioneer in the field
of juvenile detention. When we
consider that no other county in
the State of Oregon, with the ex
ception of Multnomah county,
has been willing to date to meet
this problem with such modern
progressive methods, we can
only reflect that we are glad we
live and work in this community
and that we are proud of our
fellow citizens and the way in
which they meet the commun
ity's problems.
H. K. Hanna, Circuit Judge.
Blood Donors Thanked
To the Editor: We would like
to take this means of thanking
the many people who went to
the hospital to give blood for
our son, Philip Minear, on Oct.
16. So many were not used and
yet their offer was deeply ap
preciated. It is a comfort to
know Philip did not die for lack
of medical help or blood, even
though the supply from the Red
Cross Mobile unit had been ex
hausted and none was available
until donors came to the hos
pital.
To have this life-line available
through the Red Cross and the
Fire Department is wonderful.
With deep appreciation.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Minear,
Rt. 1, Box 331,

Babson and Stock Market
By ROGER W. BABSON,
Babson Park, Mass. (Special
to Mail Tribune) Twenty-five
years ago I made a well-known
forecast about an impending big
break in the
stock market.
(Reprint of the
article which
a p p e ared in
the New York
Times in 1929,
recording my
statement, will
be sent to any
one free on re-
iw.ff. hbiw quest.) At the
close of the previous day in
1929, the Dow-Jones Industrial
Stock Average stood at 380. The
market immediately began to
weaken and shortly plunged
down swiftly, closing at 230
a decline of 150 points in less
than eight weeks. Today the
Dow-Jones Industrial Average is
358, within six points of the
highest figures since 1929. In
fact, it has moved up over 100
points since September 1953.
I expect another severe re
action sooner or later, of at least
50 to 75 points. Surely, present
stock yields are now too low,
when 1954 federal taxes are de
ducted. : Such a break in the
market could occur even during
a period of good business activ
ity such as I ;am now forecast
ing. Stock prices have of late
demonstrated that they can move
independently of both business
and earnings. It is well to re
call that, in 1929, there were
few outward signs of the stock
market crash ahead.
Investors were then anticipat
ing larger dividend returns with
a reduction in risk through di
versified investment trust hold
ings and promised mass pro
duction and inventions "such as
the world had never seen be
fore." The research laboratories
of our great industrial concerns
were also then depended on to
bring these miracles about. In
short, a "New Era" was then
confidently anticipated. Basical
ly, there was weakness, but it
was most apparent in stock mar
ket speculation.
Current Market Presents
Same Irregular Picture
The current market presents
much the same irregular picture
as was present in 1929. The so
called blue chips have outdis
tanced the bulk of the issues on
the market, due to concentrated
buying, much of it by Institu
tions, Pension Funds, and Mu
tual Investment Trusts. There
are in addition many new cross
currents in the market that did
not exist in 1929. We have arma
ment activity and other govern
ment buying, heavy spending,
support of farm prices, and
especially the intense new ad
vertising programs, which I con
sider very important.
It is clear that the economic
picture and the trend in the mar
ket can change abruptly and
snowball rapidly to an unexpect
ed degree. The real purpose of
my column this week is to bring
to your attention that the mar
ket may soon be in as vulner
able a position as in 1929, espe
cially if the capital gains tax
should be repealed, for which
the "bears" are striving. Those
who were unprepared in 1929
had no chance to take the pro
fits they thought they possessed.

Home Building Boom
Possible Danger Source
The banks are now sound; em
ployment is now good; profits
in most lines are fair; while
very few stocks are being
"bought on margin"; all must
have a margin of at least 50 per
cent. Home building is actually
booming, and the inflation since
1929 has justified higher prices
for both homes and stocks.
Again, I commend the import
ance of today's advertising.
The boom in home building is,
however, becoming a possible
source of danger. This is a new
factor which did. not exist 25
years ago. Where the danger
signals of 1929pare not now evi
dent, this new danger signal of
the "building boom" is surely
with us. Furthermore, today's
building is mostly on borrowed
money. Only the Federal Gov
ernment can prevent a wave of
mass foreclosures some day.
Installment Purchases
Present Another Danger
This brings me to another pres
ent danger, namely, installment
purchases. These purchases are
today not increasing rapidly.
They, however, are still very
heavy. Curiously, they are now
being encouraged by the banks
which would have nothing to do
With small loans 25 years ago.
Another different . condition
today relates to labor unions.
Every right-thinking person must
approve the general usefulness
of labor unions in their place.
Unions are justified in striking
if necessary to eliminate bad
working conditions and to get a
fair wage. The present system,
however, of demanding more
money merely because a union
has a monopoly of a certain in
dustry is wrong and could ulti
mately bring on a panic.

Milk Marketing :
Accounts, Assests
In 'Cold Storage'
Portland (U.R) Accounts and
assets of Oregon's Milk Market
ing Administration were in "cold
storage" today until procedure is
established to liquidate the
agency.
State Finance Director Harry
Dor man and representatives
from the attorney general and
secretary of state froze the
MMA's funds in the name of the
state of Oregon. Involved are
about $100,000 in equalization
funds due to or owing from pro
ducer pooling groups; about
$180,000 in pooling and license
fees collected for administrative
purposes, unpaid salaries of 30
employees, and computation and
settlement of the October pool
for seven markets.
No Provisions Carried
Attorneys said neither the law
nor the repeal -measure carried
provisions for liquidation of the
agency. Gov. Paul Patterson said
he would ask Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton for an opin-
ion on the over-all liquidation "
of the agency.
One of the vexing problems
is how current claims of milk
producers, employees and others
having money due from the
agency can be paid. .
Civil service commission offi
cials in Salem said they would
try to find jobs in other state
agencies for the 30 employees.
First result of the repeal meas
ure, instituted by Canby "gal-lon-jug"
dairymen and now State
Rep. Elmer Deetz was to send
milk prices down.
ADA Says Nixon
Campaign Failure
Washington U.R) Ameri
cans for Democratic Action said
today. the election showed that
what it called the "smear cam
paign against liberal candidates"
by Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon "did not work."
Liberal candidates generally
were successful in areas where
Nixon concentrated most of his
efforts, the ADA said in a state
ment by national cochairman
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and
James E. Doyle. v .
A canvass of results, the state
ment said, indicates "that a lib
eral trend, although spotty, is
clearly present."
ADA said this trend was shown
by the election . of Richard L.
Neuberger in Oregon and reelec
tion of Democratic .Sens. Paul
Douglas i in " Illinois, Hubert
Humphrey in Montana and Mat
thew Neely Jin West Virginia. -
It also is shown, the ADA said,
by defeat of "such vecal reac
tionaries" as Republican House
members Fred E. Busbey and Ed
gar Jonas in Illinois, Charles
Kersten in Wisconsin and Kit
Clardy in Michigan.
