"Rule or
How long is it going to take the leaders of the
the Republican party to see that McCarthy can't be
appeased any more than Soviet Russia? Every time
he is appeased he edges so much nearer his goal,
which is supreme control.
It was stated in this department over three years
ago that the Wisconsin demagogue was out to "rule"
or "ruin."
His one great ambition was, and is, to occupy the
White House. He intends to get the Republican NOM
INATION, or have his man Friday nominated. In oth
er words he is out to rule or ruin the GOP, and it is a
mystery to this department-why so few of the Republi
can "Old Guard" seem to realize uns.
FOR now, according to the latest report from Wash
ington, the word has gone out to let bygones be
bygones as soon as the Wisconsin Senator returns
from his "hideout," butter him up AGain, and thus
avoid above all else, a party split.
, That is a perfectly natural reaction and political
aim of course. It is to the interest of any political
partly to avoid a serious division within its ranks.
But the only way to avoid it, after that declaration
of war on President Eisenhower by the Wisconsin
Senator, is, as we see it, to either kick Joe out or
join him. There is' no neutral ground. As far as
President Eisenhower and the next convention is
concerned, it is now a war to the finish.
IT is our prediction and hope rlke will win.
But it won't be any cake-walk.
Although only one member of the Senate, had
the nerve to publicly endorse McCarthy for his sland
erous blast against the leader "of his party and the
President of the United States, Joe had plenty of
support in the galleries and out in the hinterland,
as the applause in the committee room and that truck
load of anti-censure petitions indicated. And it is
this frenzied and fanatical group country-wide the
Wisconsin Senator is depending upon. It's the old
Coghlan-Gerald Smith Ku
IT will be interesting to see how the plot develops.
Like all demagogues, McCarthy is a 100 op
portunist, but it is hard to see how he can return
now to the Eisenhower camp.
And it is even harder to
hower, in view of what has
as naive or as foolhardy, as
to placate and reform the "Wild man from the wilds
of Wisconsin." It just can't be done.
1VIEANWHILE, one remark the Wisconsin Senator
made to the press after his outburst, we note
from the wire, was not "lost on the newsmen."
It shouldn't be. Here it is quote:
"I have no interest at the present time in a Third
Party, I intend to work in the Republican party."
"At the PRESENT time," is the tip-off. But how
about ayear or a few months hence? R.W.R.
Is This the End of "Mac"?
f
": Speaking of "rule or ruinthis declaration of a
one-man war against President Eisenhower by the
rough neck Senator from
latter, politically.
And it may.
One notes that even Senator Knowland refused
to join the party member he refused to censure only
24 hours before! .
SO that might be the handwriting on the wall'as
far as McCarthy's fate is concerned. For whether
one likes or doesn't like Knowland and we don't
there is no doubt he is a power in the Grand. Old
Party, and exerts considerable influence. . If he didn't,
he wouldn't be able to hold the job he does.
DUT our guess is even this "bull" won't ruin Mc-
Carthy. Not immediately, or completely, at least.
The man is as resiliant as a hard rubber ball and has
about as many, qualms of conscience!
He has moreover, gathered too much momentum.
This unwarranted attack, upon President Eisenhower,
as a result of personal pique will hurt him and slow
him down, but we fear it won't stop him.
-
A ND for this McCarthy continuance, there will be,
we think, two main reasons:
No. 1: As indicated above, there will be every
effort made by Republican, leaders to patch up at
least, a temporary Eisenhower-McCarthy truce, in
view of the supreme need of party unity to go on
successfully and win the 1956 election. This will
bring strong pressure on both the President and Mc
Carthy, to reach some sort of working agreement.
No. 2 : The popular support the Wisconsin dema
gogue has achieved, throughout, the country by his
clever manipulation of the strong' and prevailing anti
communist feeling into political support for himself,
as the one man not only responsible for it but the
only man who can successfully implement and lead it.
THAT is all a lot of hooey of course. But there are
thousands of gullible voters who have not yet
become wise to its falsity, and for the present at least,
won't
. So with those two forces working toward the
retention of McCarthy as a factor in American poli
tics, added to the man's ambition and unprincipled
resourcefulness, this department fears the political
end of McCarthy; while ultimately certain, is still
well, some time in the future at least. R.W.R. ' '

Matter of Fact
GENERAL COLLINS' TASK !
Saigon, Viet Nam Here in
southern Indochina there are a
few months at most to glue
something together that will
hold against
the strong
pressure of
com munism's
southward ad
vance in Asia.
The attempt
is being made,
with a certain
amiable . des
peration, by a
model French
American Jowph Alsop partnership.
The partners are the wise and
high principled French com
mander, Gen. Ely, and his old
friend, President Eisenhower's
special envoy, Gen. Lawton Col
lins. Two men could not work
together more closely; and this
is just as well, for the odds
against Collins and Ely are just
about ten to one.
Two little incidents wiU help
to convey the difficulties of their
task. The first concerns a very
high French official who was
giving a very grand official din
ner The dessert was a rich cake.
There was a good deal of eye
brow raising when the cake ap
peared with its top beautifully
decorated in pastry cook's cur
licues with the word "peace"
the -word the Communists here
have inscribed on their propa
ganda banners and made, alas,
almost their exclusive property.
All the same, the French of
ficial, not wanting to be against
peace, said nothing until the
same rather specialized decora
tion was applied in mayonnaise
to a cold fish and in cut out
truffles to a cold chicken. After
the third dinner party with
"peace" proclaimed from the
platter, the official told his cook
to stick to cooking and to leave
the conversation to those at the
table The cook was not fired
because he was a very good
cook. ,
The incident is one of the cur
rent jokes of .Saigon, but what it
signifies is anything but comic.
The cook, undoubtedly, was one
of the millions of Vietnamese
here in the south who have gone
over or are inclined to go over
to the Communists. The pene
tration is already very deep.
Large areas of the countryside
are already in Communist hands,
with all real authority longed in
the underground committees and
courts of the Vietminh.
ri1 this process of Communist
penetration is not rapidly
naitea ana reversed, the non-
!n the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
Senator Joseph McCarthy says
he was mistaken when he stated
during the 1952 political cam
paign that if Dwight Eisenhower
were elected President the peo
ple could be, sure of a vigorous
fight to oppose Communism.
McCarthy made a slashing at
tack on the President in a state
ment released in Washington,
The statement ended with this
sentence:
"Unfortunately the President
sees fit to congratulate those
who hold up the exposure of
Communists in one breath and
and in the next breath he urges
patience, tolerance and niceties
to those who are torturing Amer
ican uniformed men." ' '
JETS PUT it this way:.
The junior senator from Wis
consin isn't as bad as his
enemies paint him and he isn't
as good as his all-out friends say
he is.
He has a serious fault.
He opens his mouth too often
and when he opens it he is apt
to use too little discretion in the
choice of what issues from it. I
think that at this moment in his
lory he would have used better
judgment if he had kept his
mouth shut. . .
Let's leave it there.
B
Y THE WAY:
Do you remember the Demo
cratic line during the late po
litical campaign to the effect
that Democratic majorities in
both houses of Congress would
be more helpful to President
Eisenhower's program than Re
publican majorities?
If so, you will perhaps be in
terested in this Washington dis
patch: "Two Democratic senators,
John Sparkman of Alabama and
Paul Douglas of Illinois, have
assailed the Eisenhower admini
stration for -what they call
utterly unrealistic 1952 cam
paign promises to bring govern
ment spending within the limits
of revenue and thus balance the
budget" ....
T SUPPOSE that.if Ike is a
philosopher he can console
himself with the reflection that
he who walks,the middle of the
road has a hard route to travel.
He is sniped at from both sides.
He who walks clear over ON
ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD is
sniped at only by those who
walk clear over on the other
side.
But personally I can't escape
the feeling that in these critical
days in this sadly upset modern
world the middle-of-the-road
course is the best course for our
country to follow.

Br Jo,eph Abep
Communist government here in
Saigon will soon be nothing but
a shadow. All of which in turn
gives point to incident number
two, which was a visit by this
reporter to the brother and chief
personal advisor of the head of
the present Vietnamese govern
ment, President Ngo Dinh Diem.
Mister Nhu, as thexPresident s
brother is called by the peculiar
Vietnamese name-system, is a
slender, immensely polite man
who looks as if he came, as in
fact he does, from an ancient
family of high mandarins. He
lives in a way so humble as to
be downright astonishing in
Asia, where the brothers of heads
of Government are seldom found
in little houses in back alleys.
But Mr. Nhu is not reaUy very
humble.
The subject of our conversa
tion was the most urgent prob
lem here, the problem of the
army. Since the Geneva accords
were signed until only a few
days ago, this country has been
rent in twain and brought close
to anarchy by the bitter, open,
personal quarrel between Presi
dent Diem and the vain, clever,
ambitious army chief of staff,
Gen. Hinh.
President Diem was virtuaUy
besieged in his palace. He only
survived because he was given
the most, unqualified American
support. Since the army is the
sole effective instrument of au
thority in Viet Nam, the army
government quarrel opened the
way for enormous Communist
gains. Largely by the efforts
of Generals Ely and Collins, how
ever, Gen. Hinh has now been
got out of Saigon and removed
from the army command. Thus
the opportunity now exists to
bind up the old wounds, and
begin in earnest the gigantic
task of restoring order and halt
ing Communist penetration.
The only trouble 'was, Mr,
Nhu did not see the thing that
way. The army needed to be
purged and handed over to the
favorites of President Diem. An
army, anyway, was for defend
ing frontiers. A- new civilian
system ,of administering the
countryside had to be created,
out of nothing to be sure. There
was no great hurry because "the
people of Viet Nam are for us."
SUCH were the themes of Mr.
Nhu. The policy he described
was certain to renew the old
feud with the army with re
doubled fury, and so to give the
Communists u n c h a 1 1 engeable
control of south Viet Nam with
in a few months. But Mr. Nhu
continued to insist with elegant
blandness.'that his brother Presi
dent Dien really had a duty to
cut off his nose to spite his face.
Being an ardent nationalist
under a strong colonial regime
does not conduce; unfortunately,
to political realism. And be
sides having to struggle with
those who wiU not see the plain
facts before their eyes, Generals
Ely and Collins must also strug
gle with a quite remarkable col
lection of special interests, sev
eral of them with private armed
forces. , ;
The religious sects Cao Dai
and Hoa Hao each have armies
of 20,000 men or so and exer
cise feudal power in about seven
provinces. The so-caUed Binh
Xuyen have an army of 5,000,
own the fantastic gambling and
other rackets of Saigon and also
run the police. All these and
other special interests talk
"unity, unity" at the tops of
their voices, but also hint loud
ly that they will fight if their
preserves are encroached upon.
From this basket of eels, then,
a strong, efficient, forward look
ing government and administra
tion, must be formed to prevent
the Communist advance into the
key position in south Asia.

Editorial Comment
The McCarthy Censure
Today it seems to us that the
Senate vote of censure was es
sentially ' a decision to uphold
standards of honor, accuracy, im
personal justice, reasonableness
and responsibility which are in
the highest American tradition.
Are these ineffective qualities?
We do not think so. .They are
far more effective against Com
munism than are questionable
methods, personalized power,
abuse of citizens, disregard of
facts, reckless accusation and un
reasoning denunciation of all op
position, sowing suspicion, dis
unity and hate among Ameri
cans. ' ' " .. .
The Senate acted on specific
charges and against. one individ
ual. But its vote carries a far
wider meaning. It has taken its
stand for qualities and ways of
working which are fundamental
ly valuable to free self-government.
We trust the American
people will understand and up
hold this reluctant but essential
reaffirmation of basic standards.

Soviets Said Hiking Production
Of Rocket-Powered I nf ercepfors
London - (U.PJ Jane's. All
The World's Aircraft said today
the Soviet Union is increasing
is production of rocket-powered
interceptors and farming out
manufacture of some jet fighters
to satellite nations.
The authoritative annual re
view of world aviation published
today also reported .that Russia
has developed a mother-bomber
that can carry two MIG-15 jets
or a twin-engined supersonic
piloted rocket, although the ex
periments "did not seem to be
on a large scale."
The plane that carries the
twin fighters is a TU-4, an al
most exact copy of the Ameri
can B-29 but much smaller than
the American B-3 6 which can
launch and retrieve a jet fighter
F84F Thunderjet. Jane's added
that "It is quite certain that
TU4's were modified for air
borne launchings of the DFs
rocket 8-346 bunt in the USSR."
New Bomber Drawings Produced
The publication produced
drawings of the new intercontin
ental four-engined jet atom
bomber that startled Western
military attaches when it flashed
over Moscow at this year's May
Day aviation parade.
Jane's said it was a midwing
cantilever monoplane with the
main bomb " bay between the
wing roots. Jane's said the four
engines powering the plane were
unidentified and its armament
unknown. The bomber was es
timated to be 144 feet long with
a wing span of 145 feet.
"Rocket development is out
side the scope of this annual,
but many German models of
World War II origin, of all types
from aircraft armament rockets
such as the R-4-M to long range
missiles have been used and im
proved upon in the USSR."
. Jane's reported Russia had
some 360 factories aircraft and
components distributed from the
Polish border to the Sea of
Okhotsk."

Plea for Met Music
v To the Editor: The Metropoli
tan Opera Season opened in New
York last Saturday. On calling
KYJC, who in previous seasons
has carried the opera as a public
service, I : found that-this year
they are not broadcasting the
opera because in the past they
have not received enough ap
preciation for - this service to
justify the time spent to their
sponsors.
Certainly we who love good
music are at fault. Let us rem
edy this. Let all who love the
opera and appreciate KYJC's
service, write the station and let
them know it.
Those who cannot afford to
travel to San Francisco or Port
land to hear good music must
rely on their radios, TV sets and
the Civic Music Association to
oring tnem the music they want
Surely in Medford there must be
many who are as disappointed as
I that we are not going to be able
to hear the beautiful music and
singing that the Metropolitan
Opera brings to our homes.
Please let KYJC know you want
another season of opera."

Balancing of Budget
Task for Legislature
Portland (U.R) One of the
biggest problems facing the 1955
Legislature will be balancing
the budget, two state senators
said here yesterday.
Sens. Rudie Wilhelm Jr., Re
publican of Portland, and Rob
ert Holmes, Democrat of As
toria, both agreed that the budg
et presented a knotty problem
in appearances before the Port
land League of Women Voters.
Wilhelm said the big problem
will be how much new revenue
will be needed and how to raise
it.
Holmes said the budget dilem
ma 'was "not insurmountable"
although it probably wouldn't
be solved for several decades
to come. .
Portlanders Map Plans
For Defense of Four
Portland (U.R) A committee
of citizens has been formed
here to map plans for the defense
of four Portlanders charged with
contempt of Congress.
The Committee for Defense of
Constitutional Rights, which did
not list its sponsors or members,
announced yesterday it would
hold a meeting here Friday night
at which the four men would
speak."
TOO FAR TO GO ,
Dover, N. H. (U.R) Paul R.
Benoit of Concord was fined $10
in-, municipal court here on a
charge of operating a motor ve
hicle without a driver's license.
The place to obtain a license is
in the State House Annex, just
scross the street from the State
nouse where Benoit is employed.
"There is no doubt that the
aircraft output serving the US
SR and her satellites has also
utilized the industrial facilities
of the latter states," Jane's
added. "The MIG-15 has been
built in East Germany and
Czechoslovakia, for example,
and even the old PO-2 has been
built in Poland in postwar
years."
Though much of Jane's inter
est centered on the super secret
developments inside Russia, the

Malenkov-Bohlen Chat
May Herald
Of Secret Diplomacy
By CHARLES M. MeCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
Soviet Premier Georgi M. Mal-
enkov really seems to have
started something in his chat
with U. S.- Am
bassador Charles E.
Bohlen at a
Moscow recep
tion on Nov. 7.
Malen kov
suggested the
Big Four pow
ers use nor
mal diplomatic
channels as
much as possi-
cbaries Mccann ble in trying
to settle issues which divide
West and East.
So favorable has been the re
sponse to his. suggestion that it
looks as if old fashioned secret
diplomacy is destined for a
comeback, at least on a trial
basis.
The feeling . apparently is
growing that what might be
called negotiation by denuncia
tion is getting nowhere, and
that a new test of the value of
negotiation in secret can do no
harm.
Malenkov talked to Bohlen for
nearly 40 minutes at a reception
on the anniversary of the 1917
Bolshevik rebellion. Bohlen sent
a detailed report of the conver
sation to Washington. .Secretary
of Sate John Foster Dulles was
interested that he called Bohlen
to Washington for consultation.
There have ben a number of
references to Malenkov's sug
gestion since then.
Step To Raise Curtain
.Dulles advanced the situation
when he said'ih a -press confer
ence in Washington .Tuesday that
Malenkov's talk with Bohlen
was a step toward raising the
Bill To Outlaw
B, C Milk Sales
To Be Introduced
Salem (U.R) Legislation to
outlaw grades B and C milk
will be proposed to the 1955
Legislature, it was decided here
yesterday. . . :
Representatives from all seg
ments of Oregon's dairy industry-met
here yesterday and de
cided to ask that sale of only
grade A fluid milk be permitted.
The proposed change would
affect some "come-and-get-it"
dairies now operating with
grade B licenses. They would
have to comply with the same
standards as city milk plants.
Only Grade A Permitted
Kenneth Carl, assistant chief
of the foods and dairies division
of. the Department of Agricul
ture, said six Oregon cities al
ready allow sale of only grade
A milk. These are Portland,
Salem, Eugene, Medford, As
toria and Klamath Falls.
One-cow family "dairies" sell
ing surplus milk to neighbors
would be exempt from the pro
posed law.
Attending the meeting were
some 30 representatives of the
Oregon Dairymen's Association,
the Oregon Dairy Industries As
sociation, and the Retail Ice
Cream Manufacturers Associa
tion. Kansas permitted women to
vote in school elections as early
as 1861.

Jane's noted that America's
YF 100A swept wing jet was
the first to exceed the speed of
sound in level flight, setting a
record of 755.149 miles per hour.
The Douglas XF4D-1 Skyray set

Comeback
Iron Curtain which the Soviet
government had lowered against
such diplomatic contacts. .
Dulles was referring to the
fact that .Bohlen had not pre
viously even met Malenkov since
his arrival in Moscow in April,
1953.
Dulles commented that in
formal diplomatic talks often
take place in Washington and
said: "I think we would all wel
come it if that atmosphere could
be brought into the Moscow sit
uation." ,
Secret diplomacy" has long
been a horrid phrase. As far
back as 1604, Sir Henry Wotton,
himself an English diplomatist.
wrote in the album of a friend:
An ambassador is an honest
man, sent to lie aoroaa icr tne
good of his country."
Blamed for World War I
Many blamed secret diplo
macy because tne assassination
of an Austrian archduke in 1914
led by a chain reaction to World
War I.
President Woodrow Wilson
helped to make secret diplomacy
unpopular. On Jan. 8, 1918, he
outlined to a joint ' session ' of
Congress his historic "14 points"
for a postwar settlement. Point
I was: '
. "Open covenants of peace"
openly arrived at, after which
there shall be no private under
standings of any kind, but diplo
macy shall - proceed always
frankly and in the public view."
It was a fine thought. But
diplomacy in the . public view,
marked by the exchange of in
sults between governments,
hasn't worked very well.
