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.
" "T M. S. SHROCK, -:L v.
2336 Lewellyn street, .
Milwaukie. , ."'
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.- .'" ',''.. .
The "Old Guard" didn't like that conciliatory
attitude, but the American people regardless of party.

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

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.

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.

Br FRANK JENKINS
What with the aftermath of
election and the McCarthy
ruckus coming to a head in
Washington, let's get as far away
from home as possible today.
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. DATE.
IS it?

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. .
