From Politics To Football Turning from politics to football loud cheers from the pea-nut gallery! the present season is dem onstrating, once more, the validity of two of the Mail Tribune's time-honored contentions in the realm of this great outdoor sport. No. I: The "Rose Bowl" classic New Years should be between the two BEST teams of the Midwest and the Pacific Coast for that year regardless of the pre vious year's winner. Take this year for example. There is no doubt about the best team out here, UCLA is a stand-out. But because it won the title last year it can't play this year. As a result a second-best team from the coast will meet the No. 1 team from the Mid-West conference. That just isn't good sense. e MO. LI: Why not have two football conferences on V the coast instead of one this would be some thing akin to the National and American baseball leagues for example. Call one the Northwest and the other the Southwest conference then have the re spective winners of the two leagues meet around the last of November, for the all-coast title? WE are getting a bit fed up having Oregon teams, -'year after year, serve only as'punching-bags for the California behemoths. that as to have the National league play the Three-I league at baseball all through the summer! The essence of good sport, outdoor or indoor, is equality in a matter of good matching putting teams, or individuals, in relatively the same category, against each other. How long would boxing last if heavy-weights were matched against light-weights all the time, or vice versa? So why not have two college football leagues here on the coast and select the teams not ENTIRELY on geographical lines but consider their records and potential capabilities, also. It would, we think, ?dd up to a great improvement. : But It's, Hard To Do As indicated, above, the Mail Tribune 'with the campaign over, would like to forget politics for a time the purely partisan brand particularly. But, judging by .the general reaction of the Cordon press and more ardent supporters, as well as the nature of our own correspondence, that is going to be hard to do. ' Consider the following for example: ...... To the Editor: Yes, sir, my house is for sale now. I can't : afford to have my numerous friends and relatives in the ; Middle West kid m for the rest of my life about living in F ; a state represented in the United States senate by Morse and Neuberger. - p - j.

The above clipping was sent in by one of -our anonymous communicants, the assumption being that he or she feels the same way about it, and would like to have it printed. ' . : - - Well, there it is, but we i can't believe MANY of the Republicans hereabouts or elsewhere share such sophomoric sentiments, or advertise the fact. .-. - For that sort of thing is really extremely silly and it is UnAmerican! V f V ; We have only to call on, two of the most famous Republican Presidents in our history, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, to prove the point. Said -President Lincoln; ; "The corner-stone of this democracy and fundamental to its perpetuation is a willingness to peacefully abide by the will of the majority regardless of whether that verdict is approved or disapproved by the individuals concerned." t THEODORE ROOSEVELT contended all through A his "strenuous life" that the essence of good citi zenship was good sportsmanship, ' that one of -the distinguishing characteristics - of the true American, was, win or lose, to be always a good sport. WE commend this Republican philosophy to those state failed to approve THEIR choice for. U.S. Sen ator, are going to "sell out," and move out. And we presume, settle down somewhere, where the will of the majority at the polls is not accepted and NOT upheld! . - . . We could name the country but we won't. R.W.R. A Good Sport , . Along the line of the above one of the finest post election examples of good sportsmanship, in high places, was President Eisenhower's frank admission, after the results of the election were known, that there would be no partisan "cold war" as far as HE was concerned, and he regretted having made such a statement during the last heated days of the cam paign. v That admission took courage, and a truly magnan imous spirit ,'' -'".' t FOR while the Democratic victory was not, as 80 1 many predicted, a SWEEPING one, the result was what the President did everything in his power, including that final air-swing around the circle, to prevent.. - And with equal candor the President admitted, what so few of his over zealous supporters have, that he was both surprised and disappointed, but that he; would not only consult the opposition often but do everything ;n his power to cooperate with them.- .'"

R.W.R. if they do, would care to Matter of Fact McCarthy and his party Washington There is not much doubt about what is go ing to happen to Sen. MsCarthy bar a mir acle he is go ing to be cen s u r e d by a heavy major ity. What is more interest ing is what is likely to hap pen to the Re publican party as a result of the censure fight Joseph Alsop In this connection, it is worth recalling something that hap pened at the funeral of Sen: Pat McCarran last Oct. 2. The funeral of Democrat McCarran, who used to be McCarthy's most powerful ally in the Senate, was attended by six Republican Sen ators Sen. Knowland, in his capacity as Majority Leader, and Sens. B r i d g e s, of New Hampshire, Welker of Idaho, Malone, of Nevada, Jenner, of Indiana, and Goldwater, of Ari zona. All five of the latter are con sidered McCarthy men."lt was thus not surprising that they should . discuss the prospect of the debate on censure. And, al though they agreed that McCar thy would probably be censured, they were by no means unhappy over the prospect of a fight on the issue. - On the contrary, according to a reliable report, there was a good deal of feeling among this little band of McCarthy Re publicans that the censure debate might provide an ideal .time to show who was really boss in the Republi can party. It might provide a fine time, in other words, Stewart Alsop to challenge the Eisenhower ad ministration openly, with an eye to assuring eventual control of the Party by. the pro-McCarthy right wing. The strategy of such a chal lenge was fairly obvious. It called for attacking the censure resolution as a plot hatched in the White House. Presidental aide Sherman Adams was to be cast in the role of chief plot ter, with the President as a wUling- accomplice. The Presi dent's letter to Sen. Ralph Flan ders of Vermont, congratulat ing Flanders on his first speech criticizing McCarthy, could be used as evidence of the Presi dent's personal "participation in the censure plot. OUCH a direct, open, and con- certea auacic on me .tresi dent, it was reasoned, would give the McCarthy Republicans at least a useful blackmail po sition in the party, and at most ultimate control of the Party. It may be that the attack will still be made. There was at least a hint of something of the sort in Sen. Welker's speech, on the opening day of debate. Mc Carthy himself seems prepared to go to almost any lengths, Yet McCarthy seems likely to have far fewer Republican al lies in any battle with the White House than seemed possible a few weeks ago. The reason is quite simple. The President is too strong. ' McCarthy is too weak. ' Before the election, after all, most McCarthy-minded Republi cans were taking a much gloom ier view of Republican chances than even the over-jubilant Democrats. McCarthy himself was widely reported as believ ing that the Republicans would not know what hit them on elec tion day. A Democratic landslide would have weakened, perhaps fatally, President Eisenhower's hold on COOKED am mm We Will Slice Them Free of Charge PLEASE By Joseph and Stewart Abo his party, and by the same to ken, it would have strengthened McCarthy. The McCarthy men were counting w i t h . absolute confidence on blaming the Pres ident for losing the election be cause he did not play the game the McCarthy way. Now the three leading McCar- thyites in the House of Repre sentatives have been soundly trounced. Clifford Case of New Jersey, the one Republican Mc Carthy tried to beat, has been elected despite Republican scan dals in Trenton and the decayed state organization. Worst of all from the McCarthy point of view, Eisenhower himself has been given personal credit for stemming a Democratic tide once thought unstemmable. TINDER the circumstances it - is not surprising that very few even among the McCarthy minded men in the Senate are eager to enlist under the Mc Carthy banner in any McCar thy-Eisenhower battle. Indeed, although McCarthy wiU prob ably get 15 or. 20 votes in the end, the tendency even among the McCarthy men is now to shy away from the Wisconsin demagogue. Particularly since McCarthy, in apparent despera tion, began personal attacks on the elderly Sen. Arthur Wat kins, there has even been some quiet talk in the cloakrooms about changing the censure res olution to a motion to expel. Unless McCarthy's - behavior becomes insanely outrageous, this is likely to come to nothing. But the Wisconsin movement to recall McCarthy must be taken more seriously. Leroy Gore, leader of the movement, plans to start collecting signatures again after the first of the year and he is completely confident of getting the 280,000 signatures for recall. At any rate, one way or an other, McCarthy seems headed for some sort of final, fatal crash. No doubt he sees himself as a Samson in the Republican temple, bringing the whole par ty crashing down on him. Per haps he could once have done just this. But it seems clear that he is too weak to do it now. For the McCarthy wing of the Re publican party, which once threatened to dominate the par ty, looks like becoming an im potent minority.

Wants Milk Price Lowered To the Editor: Now that milk control has been voted out, I see by Tuesday's paper that the Ore gon producers are looking at fed eral marketing. ' I suggest they read an article in the November Country Gentle man by George Laycock.- Milk surpluses? Not by a jug ful. One housewife in Ohio is saving $125 per year by using one gallon jugful of milk a day. Chicago milk sales went up 20 per cent. A. M. Stutz and sons milk 30 holsteins and Akron processors buy it all and keep asking for more. In 1953 when dairy farmers felt the price squeeze, the mid dleman in processing plants re ported one of their best years. Why should a farmer like Mr. Deetz have to have a license to sell his milk at his farm in gallon jugs that the customers could furnish? The cows pass the state TB and bangs tests. The farmer who sells his fruit, hay, etc. from his farm doesn't buy a license. Why milk? Why not find a way to equal ize the quality of milk and let it be shipped into areas where READY TO EAT F(o cans ale Should Be Proud Of Congressmen By WAYNE MORSE , Member of Congress Washington (Special) Oregon should be proud of its new Sen ator and Congresswoman who will serve the state and the na tion with distinction. The elec tion in our state was probably the most dramatic in our history and is excelled in ' nationwide significance only by the over night upset in the presidential election of 1916. The eyes of the whole nation were focused upon Oregon from noon of the day after election day until the next morning when Senator Neu- berger's election became defin ite. ..-...' More than suspense was , in volved. Now the whole country knows that the so-called partner ship power policy of the Repub lican Administration was re pudiated by the voters of our state. While the road ahead will not be easy, the great multi-purpose public dam program upon which so much of our economic future depends should be re sumed in the coming Congress. Authorization of the high Hells Canyon dam will continue to be the number one item on my agenda. Senator Neuberger and Congresswoman Green cam paigned vigorously for this key project and their election should increase the chances of success for its authorization. The Sen ate Interior, Committee, which has jurisdiction over such meas ures, wiU be headed by Demo cratic Senator James Murray, a cospoflsor of my Hells Canyon BiU. AU other cosponsors of the bill were also reelected and Sen ator O'Mahoney of Wyoming was added to our ranks. Tens of thousands of Oregon ians who voted for Republican candidates nonetheless will sup port our efforts in behalf of this indispensable dam. Now is the time to close ranks for the best interests of Oregon, "the Pacific Northwest and the economic and defense strength of the country.

The actress said they would be mar ried in Paris. no surplus of milk Is found? Why the state butterf at tax two months a year? Milk control was repealed be cause people are tired of being gouged by the local prices for milk. 96 cents a gallon adds up to $345.60 a year. No working man can afford to buy that much for his family. Lower the price to 60 cents a gallon and he can, and no- surplus milk and the producers will make more' money because all of his milk will be used. Mrs. Gladys Hamilton, Rt. 2, Box 468, -Medford.

PRIME MINISTER NEHRU says he is aiming at giving India "definitely, ABSOLUTELY a socialistic picture of society." Addressing India's National Development Council in New Delhi, he adds: y "I do not mean Socialism in' a dogmatic sense but in a sense largely that the MEANS OF PRODUCTION should be social ly owned and controlled for the benefit of socletyas a whole." LET'S put it this way:' Socialism is probably EX ACTLY SUITED to India's pe culiar people and her peculiar in stitutions. As to these, let's cite two examples:" 1. The health of the people of India is poor, and the death rate is staggering. The average In dian can expect to live only 27 to 30 years. Disease is rampant in India.. Disease -is spread by insects,' which most Hindus re fuse to kill for religious reasons. 2. To the Hindus who refuse to kill insects because they are sacred, cows are also sacred. They mustn't be interfered with in any way. They wander at will through: the streets into the stores, into the houses, drop ping their dung as they go. In a land where starvation stalks by .day and by night,' cows (mean ing cattle) mustn t be killed and eaten because they ere sacred. T ET'S take a look at the J'pri- vate enterprise" that Nehru is talking about, In India, 87.2 per cent of the population is rural. The average Indian farm is only seven acres, and there are many farms of two acres or less. The Hindu laws of inheritance require that at his death a man's farm must be divided equally among his sons, even though the share of each son may be only the size bf a backyard garden, And, as death marches on, even that microscopic piece of ground must be divided and re-divided under India's laws of inherit ance. could go on and on, but these instances teU the story. In a country such as India socialism is about the only hope, TEHRU who is a do-gooder at 'the top GIVING the people down below what he thinks they ought to have; a Lady Bountiful who has EVERYTHING himself and likes to flatter his ego by scattering charity around among the unfortunate concludes his speech with this statement: "The dominance which private enterprise HAD throughout, the world during a certain period IS COMPLETELY OUT OF.

Harold Snodgrass ' Funeral Directors Office of Deputy DESCHUTES News LET'S take a look at America, where the "means of produc tion" of which Nehru speaks so glibly are coming increasingly into the hands of large corpora tions. To Nehru and his ilk, that is a crying shame. But let's take a look at these big corporations of ours which because of the need fqr bigness in a big country are coming in creasingly into ownership of the means of production. ' Who owns them? - ' HERE is a fact that is too little understood: , In most of our bis corpora tions general Motors, for ex ample there is a surprisingly close balance between stockhold ers and workers. In many of them, the stockholders OUT NUMBER the workers. The capital stock of these great concerns is daily offered for sale on the open bid-and-take markets that we call stock ex changes. Every worker is free BUY THIS STOCK on the market. ., , ' If the workers of General Motors using GM as an example hose to do so they could put their savings Into the purchase of General Motors stock and in surprisingly short time they could OWN THE COMPANY. rpHAT, Mr. Nehru, is MODERN free enterprise. You're wel come, so far as I am concerned to your socialism in India. I think that FOR INDIA it is quite all right far better than your present system. I wish you luck in youp job of bringing socialism to India. But FOR AMERICA I prefer our system of modern free enter prise. .
