Good for the Youngsters!
We congratulate the Yeung Republicans !
In their recent state convention here they 'came
out, with only one dissenting vote, for upholding the
Watson committee in its unanimous recommendation
for a vote of censure against Joe McCarthy.
Now let more of the older members of the party
follow suit, and join their offspring.
TTHE issue of McCarthy and "McCarthyism" should
1 be a bi-partisan issue, just as the issue of foreign
affairs should be and usually is.
There should be no partisan split on the general
principles of the Eisenhower foreign policy, and there
should be . none' regarding the junior Senator from
Wisconsin, his threat to this democracy, and the nec
essity of a united opposition against him and his un
principled methods, regardless of party politics.
The latter are simply 100 bad, just as the main
principles of the present administration's foreign pol
icy and against isolationism are fundamentally sound
and good.
' The Young Republicans of Oregon have shown
the way. .. ..
Here is hoping their elders follow suit, and don't
delay too long. R.W.R.
Another Good Idea
One of the Young Republican speakers suggested
another move by the organization namely advocating
a more "liberal" party policy, maintaining the time
has come to replace the -old, worn-out parts of the
GOP machinery in this state with some new ones.
Again excellent advice! And it is to the self-interest
of the Republican party that this be done. .
FOR while the recent election was very close, there
were unmistakable signs that the ' worm at last
has turned. Oregon can no longer be depended
upon to be a one-party state. There was evidence in
the close results throughout that many of the voters
are tired of the same old crowd, running the politics
of the state in the same old way, without vision or
enlightenment. ' ''
There was indeed a revolt against the"ultra-con-servative
Republican viewpoint, and it is a pretty
safe prediction, that if the majority party doesn't read
the writing on the wall THIS time, they may get even
a bigger jolt two years hence.
IT IS interesting to note, in this connection, that this
demand for a house-cleaning and a more liberal
attitude in the Republican leadership was urged by
the leading Republican, newspaper in this state, the
uregonian, tne aay alter tne results were Known.
Taking these two similar viewpoints together, the
Young Republicans on one hand, and the conserva
tive but perceptive Oregonian on the other, and it
should be plain, we think, to the party rank and file
in Oregon that the time has come to take their bear
ings, to realize their party-ship has wandered off the
course and put it back. They should, as the Oregon
ian advised, get more in harmony .with the political
facts of life, more in tune with the fundamental prin
ciples of the party, as represented by. Abraham Lin
coin and Theodore Roosevelt! R.W.R.
Matter of Fact
'Revolt Against Intelligence'9
v We don't know how many people take the "Ore
gon Voter" and how many who do, take its politics
seriously.
We hope not many - ' ::- .
For it really represents a type of extreme partisan
ship that has become almost extinct in the country,
except in the more benighted circles of the declining
Hearst and Pegler journalistic empire, or the inner
recesses of the Union League Tap-Room.
Listen to this from trie Voter for example, quote:
One can only hope for the best but fear the worst from
Oregon's political Katzehjammer Kids who will occupy the
state's Senate seats in the 84th Congress. Neither of them
has yet shown any impressive capacity for objectivity. Both
seem to function weU as wreckers but poorly as builders.
Both incline to use legislative service as a means rather
than anend, a fact that no doubt explains their relative
futility to date. It is a time to fervently pray that God will
save our great state.
TN OTHER words because the people of the state,
A ; at least a majority of them chose State Senator
Neuberger, instead of Senator Cordon for the U.S.
Senate the great state of Oregon is doomed to ruin
UNLESS there is some sort of divine intervention!
Once more, how silly can we get? What are the
facts? Instead of Morse and Cordon who never, agreed
on anything or worked together for any common goal,
we have two Oregonians who whether one agrees or
disagrees with their political beliefs, pan hnth h de
pended upon to work tosrether. Thev can alsn ho de
pended upon to work for what they BEHEVE to be

gence, courage and persistence.. Yin fact tn revert-, tv
the Oregonian again, that 100 per cent Republican
paper, declared a few days ago that Dick Neuberger
was one of the most intelligent men in the state)
.But JNeuDerger, as everyone knows, favors public
power as a check on private power; he opposes "Mc
Carthyism" and has the courao-e tn

very funny. Neither is the Voter, it's pathetic.
MC CARTHY AND THE
SOUTHERNERS
Washington The attitude of
his fellow Senators toward Jo
seph McCarthy is interesting,
and it sheds a good deal of light
on the real nature of the struggle
now going on in the Senate.
There is a small band of Sen-ators--estimated
between twelve
and twenty who will stick with
McCarthy come what may.
These men are variously moti
vated by admiration for Mc
Carthy's demogogic ability, by
fear, and, of course, by cold po
litical calculation.
There are also, it should be
said, at least a handful who
genuinely like McCarthy and
enjoy his company. Prominent
among these are Jenner of In
diana, and Welker of Idaho, Mc
Carthy's self-appointed floor
manager in the present fight. .
Then there is another group,
somewhat ' larger, of Senators
who detest not only what Mc
Carthy stands for but the man
himself. This group would in
clude, among the Democrats,
men like Fulbright of Arkansas,
Lehman of New York, Douglas
of Illinois, and tradition-minded
men like Duff of Pennsylvania
and Cooper of1 Kentucky among
the Republicans. According to
those who know him well, there
is reason to put the powerful
and intensely conservative Mil
likin of . Colorado in this group
although he has never spoken
out publicly against McCarthy.
Finally, there is or as until
recently a very much larger
group of men who have tried
for a long time to pretend that
McCarthy does not exist. Among
Republicans in this category the
three Republicans on the cen
sure committee Watkins of
Utah, Case of South Dakota, and
Carlson of Kansas are entirely
typical.
But the hard core of this
group is found among the con
servative Southern Democrats,
especially the respected older
men like George and Russell of
Georgia. It is necessary to -understand
the attitude of these
men. ,
To the true Southern conser
vative, the Senate is a body of
immense distinction. They are
apt to call it, not simply "The
Senate," but, The Senate of the
United States," and a man can
hardly aspire higher than' to be
a "United States Senator."
BUT to these men, the" Senate
is not 'only heroes and states
men. It is also a club for ol
Mends, made all the more agree
able by reason of the special
Senate atmosphere the snuff
boxes, the blackr leather easy
By Joseph . and Stewart Afsop
chairs in the Members' Lobby,
the meaningless, traditional
phrases like "My distinguished
colleague
Joe McCarthy, obviously, does
not fit easily into this atmos
phere. Indeed, he does not fit
into it at all. But for a very long
time the Southerners succeeded
in disregarding McCarthy there
was nothing, after all, that could
be done about him, so the next
best thing was to pretend that
he did not exist.
In the last few months, how
ever, certain things have hap
pened to shatter this attitude.
Partly, of course, this is the
doing of McCarthy himself. It is
hard to disregard a Senator who
calls a fellow Senator "a living
miracle ... . . without brains or
guts," and under any circum
stances it has become harder
and harder to pretend that Mc
Carthy does not exist. :
But that is not all. Much as
they may dislike their Northern
colleagues, the Southern conser
vatives have a real feeling about
the Democratic party. McCarthy
called the Democratic party the
'.'party of treason." Thomas E.
Dawey came rather close to say
ing the same thing. And the line
which Vice-President Nixon took
toward the close of the campaign
in which he portrayed the Dem
ocratic party as the party of
war and of "softness on Com
munism," really put the cap on
it, as far as the Southerners were
concerned.
.. Nixon has been, of course, a
leader in the effort to find some
"compromise" on the McCarthy
issue. To have a chance of suc
cess, any compromise plan must
have some Democratic votes, to
.make up for the Republicans
who will vote for nothing less
than censure. The place to look
for these Democratic votes, was,
obviously, among the Southern
ers and the conservatives.
;
rpHE Southerners have now, in
A effect, flatly told Nixon and
the other comprisers f'no deal."
They said "no deal" in the form
of the eloquent speech by Sen.
Stennis of . Mississippi, calling
strongly f or censure on , the
grounds of "political morality."
Stennis, himself a respected
younger, member of the South
ern group, certainly discussed
what he was going to say with
the Soutbern leaders, and, with
Democratic Leader Lyndon
Johnson as well.
It" is conceivable, bat only
just . conceivable, that the Dem
ocratic lines will break.; But if
the Democratic lines hold' on Mc
Carthy, they may well hold on,

A popular song In praise of a
wife is a rarity. Most ditties
dealing with wives have been
disparaging in character. As for
examples: "My Wife's Gone to
the Country, Hooray!" and "I
Can Dance with Anybody but
My Wife." However, in the cur
rent musical hit, "Fanny," there
is a touching ballad praising a
matrimonial mate titled "To My
Wife." I think it is the best song
in the show. Check on it. Per
haps you would like to get a re
cording of it to enclose in a
present to your wife. '

Horses & Women .
As I may have observed, those
short clipped hair-dos some fe
males feature look a little silly
to me. On the other hand, some
of the long haired styles make
a woman look slightly ridicu
lous. I mean it doesn't seem ap
propriate for a 30 or 40 year old
woman to wear hair hanging
down tKe back like Alice in
I Wonderland. There should be a

No Smoking
The other night inside a New
York City theater I saw in the
vicinity of a "No Smoking"
sign over a hundred people puff
ing on highly inflammable ciga-
rets. The kind that keep on
burning when thrown away. The
"No Smoking" sign was 1 put
there by the fire department in
the interests of fire prevention.
I didn't see any fireman around.
Usually a member of the fire
department is on "hand at thea
ters to see that the "No Smok
ing" rule is adhered to.
Asking .:, "" '
Queries from clients. Q. What
is a "grass widow"? I say it is a
term applied to a divorcee.
Right? A. A grass widow is 'a
woman whose husband is living
but is temporarily absent from
home. The wife of a traveling
salesman can often be styled a
grass widow. Or the wife of a
steamship captain. And so on.
Cannot be properly applied to a
divorcee. You lose the stogie.
Q. Was Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fon
tann's husband, once a leading
man for Lily Langtry? A. Lunt
appeared with Lily Langtry in
a vaudeville sketch. That was ,
30 or 40 years ago.
