In The Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Bill Tugman, editor of the
Eugene Register-Guard, discus
sing the subject of political mor
ality, tells in his column about
i Lane Aunty Democrat, who
just ahead of the election was
? seriously considering changing
his registration.
3 He was unhappy, he said, with
the Democratic leadership, and
veaw little hope for a change at
?any time in the immediate fil
ature. He was looking for advice
r-as to what to do, and Bill gave
sit to him in these words:
"Do you believe and feel as a
Republican? If you do, then you
5 should certainly change. Of
course, if you do change, you
"jwill have to accept a delay of
lquite a few years in your politi-
cal aspirations because - people
swho change parties are not im
mediately taken to the old boo--Tam.
If you really believe as a
Democrat, then your job is to
j'ptick with the Democratic party
until victory comes."
rjruGMAN goes on:
-"Anyway, the lad stuck, and
-we respect him for sticking far
tmore than we respect Wayne
"Morse, who told the Democrats
in 1944 that although he was a
,-.New Dealer at heart he'd have
:to run as a Republican because
campaigning was simply a mat
ter of cold csh."
He adds:
Z1 "If at any time we had had
i'any . inkle of such conduct, we
would have considered Morse
unfit for any office."
.THE Register-Guard editor con
tinues: . "Nevertheless, we get another
'aspect of this political morals
'"problem from an ardent Morse
""supporter who tells us:
' . " 'Why ' shouldn't Morse turn
..Republican under conditions as
they were in 1944? He HAD TO
GET HIMSELF ELECTED,
didn't he? He had to GET
ELECTED FIRST!"
THAT brings up another inter
esting character Willis Ma
: honey, who flashed across the
Oregon political skies back in
the 1930s like a meteor. He got
"his start in Klamath Falls,
where he was elected mayor in
as weird a campaign as has been
""seen in many a long year, and
went on to run for U. S. senator
''against Charles L.McNary in
- 1936. He came within "less han
1 6000 votes of defeating McNary.
HE too held this theory that
YOU HAVE TO GET ELECT
ED FIRST. He said to me on
9 'several occasions:
"You think I'm a wild-eyed
radical. I'm NOT. I'm basically
5 Just as conservative as you are.
2 But if you're going to do any
good for your country as an of-
f ice-holder, YOU HAVE TO GET
I ELECTED. i ' -
I "If you're to be elected, you've
got to tell the people what they j
want to hear. That's what I'm -$
doing. AFTER I'M ELECTED, I
can do what I think is best un
2der the circumstances.
2 But I've got to get elected
first. If I don't get elected, I
j can't do anything." - ? 1- ' t
kllTHEN Mahoney ran for may
s' or, his name was ruled off
tthe ballot on the grounds tuat
j he had not resided long enough
in Klamath Falls to gain a legal
j residence.
1 So he put on a write-in cam-
paign. It was a stem-winder. Re-
turning from out of town one
evening, he was met at the rail
; road station by a huge crowd of
$ his admirers who were as
Ssembled to welcome him home.
iThey put on -a parade down
! Main street. ' Mahoney was
mounted on top of a truck. He
stood on the truck's roof wrap-
ped in an American flag, with
2 spotlights playing on him while
5 he struck a Napoleonic pose. It
2 was something to remember.
t He won handily on write-ins
; which is quite an achievement
in any campaign. ..
t JJE made an excellent mayor.
5 The city of Klamath Falls is
Snow, for all practical purposes,
J completely out of debt. It owes
Jrnuch of its "present favorable
2 financial condition to Mahoney.
I When he was elected, the city
was heavily burdened with Ban
j croft bond debt as were most
other rapidly growing cities at
Jthat time. Drastic measures were
J necessary to meet the situation
1 and keep the city solvent.
Z As mayor, Mahoney cooperat
ed completely and courageously
in a financial reorganization
; program that was laid out by
;some of the city's ablest and
;most conservative people. With
; out his help, the program could
tnot have been carried through.
T SOUND like I was defending
the cynical theory that ANY
I THING anybody ; does to get
Z elected to office' is - all right.
- I'm not. I have no use for that
? theory. I think our greatest need
" is SINCERITY. I want no truck
tec la
with political opportunists.
They're dangerous.
Mahoney was just a curious
exception to the generally sound
rule that political opportunists
are dangerous and unreliable.
Apparently he came to the con
clusion himself that 'political
opportunism is an unsound
philosophy. At any rate, after
his brief but spectacular venture
into Oregon politics, he settled
down and became a solid and
useful citizen, serving his coun
try capably and well under Gen
eral MacArthur in Japan.
MORSE is different. Tugman,
who knows him well, says
that in 1944 he was a New Deal
er at heart but ran as a Repub
lican because he thought that to
WIN in Oregon he HAD to run
as a Republican. Early in 1952,
He was a big Eisenhower man.
Later in 1952, he turned vio
lently and bitterly against Ike.
For a while, he dramatized him
self as the Great Independent.
Now, in order to get back his
senate committee appointments,
he is being a helpful Democrat.
Political opportunism again.
WHERE he will be in 1956, no
one knows. He has changed
his colors so often that he has
become a political chameleon.
My guess is that in 1956 Morse
will be campaigning under
whatever banners seems to pro
mise at the moment the most
votes. . .

Yoshida Faces Fight
To Retain Position
Of Power in Japan

By CHARLES. MCCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
Premier Shigeru Yoshida, Ja
pan s Mr. One Man, " is due
home Wednesday to face the big
gest figt of his
political ca
reer. 1
Leaders of
three political
parties, includ
ing some of
his own Liber
als, have gang
ed up in an at
tempt to over
throw him.
H he suc-
Charles Itciann ceeus m out
smarting them, he will have
good reason to congratulate him
self. It is typical of Yoshida that he
has no doubt of his ability to
do it.
"I have survived many such
experiences in the past," he said
before he left the United States
for the flight across the Pacific
to Tokyo. "I am confident that
I will continue to survive. My
opponents have no policies. Be
ing anti-Yoshlda isn't a policy."
Yoshida is ending a seven-
weeks tour of the Unted States.,
Canada and Western Europe m
search of trade and aid. The re
port he makes to the Japanese
people on his mission may help
him. - , .
Crisis for Months
. Japan has been in a continu
ous political crisis for .months.
Its economy is weak and getting
weaker The Liberal party has
been involved in a big political
scandal over accusations that
some of its leaders accepted mon
ey from government-subsidized
shipping companies.
Two hundred members of the
Progressive, Liberal and dissi
dent Japan Liberal parties, with
the addition of some independ
ents, decided Monday to form a
new party which would combine
all conservative elements.
The party is to 4 be launched
Nov. 24, in preparation for a
special session of ' Parliament
tentatively set for Nov. 30.
Yoshida has "kept in power by
getting the support ofcsome Pro
gressives to give him a mapority
m the House. His hope now is
that he can rally most of the
Liberals to his support and keep
some of the Progresives from
joining the coalition against him.
Big Test for Him ' '"
It will be a biff test for1 the
diminutive, usually smiling man,
now 76 years old, who entered
politics only after World War H.
Yoshida was a clever diplomat,
one of Japan's most ' distin
guished, for 32 years. He went
into retirement in 1938, an ene
my of thet war lords. He was
thrown in jail for a time during
the war for urging peace. He was
called to the foreign ministry
after the war, and has served as
prime minister nearly all the
time since 1946.- -
Yoshida's . nickname of - "Mr.
One Man" was given to him be
cause he likes to run a show all
by himself.: That trait has won
mm many enemies, some of them
in his own party, and helps ex
plain his Bresent situation Ha lr
a formidable ; opponent, and his
tongue is sharp in debate.
He neither looks nor acta his
age. Asked recently whether he
ever thought of retiring, he said:
"No, on the contrary, I'm look
ing for a fountain of youth to
keep me young and alive." :
WILL IN COFFEE POT

Pauline Walberg, 68, left $10,000

ranker Says
Almost Never Fills Gllamour
NewYork (U.R) A famous
photographer gave a. thoughtful
aetmition of glamour today and
then warned that the average
woman almost never achieves it.
"Beauty is one thing, and
glamour is something quite dif
ferent,"- said? Baron, a London
photographer who had just re
turned here from two weeks in
Hollywood where he photo
graphed the 15 women he con-

The hard-bound ; 5-page vol
ume contains a photographically
illustrated account of school ac
tivities for the year 1953-1954.

tured and the seniors have brief
individual accounts of scholastc
and activity honors.

graphs of - Sacred Heart church
and St. Mary's school are used.
The introduction to each section
has a full page posed portrait
symbolic of the subject matter.
This is the fourth year that
"The Lance" has been issued. 1
siders most glamorous in the
movie colony. A'
"Glamour is a collection . of
intelligence, poise, sex. appeal
and above all, mystery well
packaged,! the photographer
said. "And then there is an
added quality of showing off.
This makes glamour strictly a
meairicai auriDute. it is ex
tremely rare to find it in a
woman who is not a theatrical
performer."
Baron, whose full name is
Baron Stirling Henry Di Victor
Nahum, was interviewed just"
before he packed his suitcase
full of glamour poses and head
ed back for England.
American or Italian
How does he feel about Holly
wood glamour girls? , v
"There are a lot of glamor
ous women in the world today,
but most of them are American
or Italian," Baron said. "If they
are English, they are in Holly
wood.
"The two most exciting cam
era subjects I ever had photo
graphed in -my entire career I
found in Hollywood Marilyn
Monroe and Pier Angeli.
"Monroe has a brassy smile
she turns on for cameras. But
if you tell her to stop that, you
find a truly amazing girl with
gret expression, great warmth."
The other women picked by
Baron besides Miss Angeli,
whom he considers a real cam
era beauty, were: Jean Sim
mons, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lauren
Bacall, Leslie Caron, Elizabeth
Taylor, Cyd Charisse, Barbara
Darrow, Kim Novak, Taina Els,
Lliane Montevecchi, Walda Win-
chell, Jean Maire, and Mrs. Da
vid Niven. Mrs. Niven,. a for
mer Swedish model, was the
only one of! the, 15 to win Bar
on's glamour poll who is not
an actress., . ,
Put on Actresses Faces
"One of the worst things
about actresses is that they put
rage Woman
Definition
on' actresses faces," : the " pho
tographer, said. "As a photogra
pher, you have to be in charge."
For average women who don't
rank as - glamour girls,' Baron
had several comforting com
ments. '
' There are other things more
important like : inner beauty
and even outer beauty that
doesn't da
said. "Anyway, the camera lies.
