Oregon Senators Make Page 1
Once upon a time a millionaire from Texas most
millionaires these days hail from Texas offered the
editor of Time ten thousand dollars if he would print
his picture on the front cover of that vigorous, inter
esting and readable magazine.
The offer, of course, was refused. But it goes to
show how that Page I publicity is prized by the bus
iness world, especially in the vicinity of the oil-fields
above the Rio Grande.
Well Oregon's two senators, Messers Morse and
Neuberger, didn't pay a dime, but they got ten thous
and dollars worth of publicity in that magazine in the
current issue according to the Texas rating.
And that is something new for them, and for
Oregon.
CENATOR McNary had a national reputation, and
perhaps he made Times cover when he ran as Vice
President, but no other Oregon senator in modern
history has come near it, and as to having two of them
make it, at the same time is in the realm of free pub
licity at least, something unprecedented.
..
MOT only do the "Morseburgers" make the colored
cover, but they get over two pages in the reading
matter inside which also establishes a new record
for them and this state. For good measure there is
also a picture of the junior Senator in the text his
mouth open as he takes the oath, and our senior
Senator with a broad smile on his face and snuggling
up to former Governor McKay at the Chicago con
vention. Believe it or not

emphatic fashion never before accorded to any sen
atorial couple from this far-away state.
It is, therefore, something quite worthy of note.
' ' R.W.R.
It Was Not Impulse
Time follows' the accepted GOP line in maintain
ing Senator Morse is an unstable, radical, volatile,
non-dependable opportunist, which of course isn't
true.
The first count always cited in the indictment is
his sudden change from being a strong supporter of
Eisenhower, as Morse was in the Chicago convention
to his bitter opponent, a few months later.
The Mail Tribune has never followed Oregon's
senior Senator in his sudden switch from personal
liking to personal animus toward President Eisenhow
er, and frankly has never understood it.
But we do know this, the change was not a sud
den or impulsive one. It came only after many days
and nights of careful soul-searching and careful con
sideration. ; :
Even the Time article by implication admits the
truth of this statement, quote :
"His mustache quivered and his hands shook, but when
the 'recording was done Morse turned around and said, :
'Golly I feel like I had just taken a bath. It may be the
beginning of the end of my political career. "
Not the attitude or words of a man acting on im
pulse, or .purely personal pique. It had all been
thought out, the RUBICON had been crossed.
THE truth is Senator Morse was never as strongly
1 in favor of General Eisenhower, as a candidate
as he was against Senator Taf t He believed the nom
ination of the Ohio senator would spell a major dis
aster because of Taf t's views regarding labor and
foreign policy, so he did go all out for Ike as far as
the nomination was concerned.
He presumably expected General Eisenhower
would then campaign on an anti-isolationist anti
Taft platform. Instead of that the platform straddled
the issues in Morse's opinion. Ike went over to the
Taf t side, the two men smoked the pipe of peace, and
the only hope as Morse wen saw it was to go out for
Stevenson.
The point we wish to make is not whether his
decision was wise or unwise, based on solid reasoning
or the reverse, but that it was NOT based upon op
portunism or any purely personal considerations, but
upon one of the cornerstones of Senator Morse's pol
itical faith, placing principle above party, the wel

The Wall Street Journal Suffers
If the Wall Street Journal reads the Portland
Oregonian it is in for a bad time.
For one of the Oregonian's favorite columnists,
Norman Thomas, says the recent message on "state
of the nation" by President Eisenhower was defin
itely socialistic.
Mr. Thomas, who has been the leader of the US
Socialist party for over a quarter of a century, and
its candidate for the presidency three or four times
ought to know.
THE Wall Street Journal in fact has feared such an
outcome for a long time. But being strongly Re
publican and almost as strong for "Ike," it has resist
ed the temptation to say so.
There were signs of a hard inner tussle over the
recent state-of-the-union message, but the Journal
made the grade by emphasizing the high spiritual
content of the offering especially regarding the divin
ity and dignity of the man, and ignoring the recom
mendation made "by the Socialists ten years before
before they became part of the New Deal."
Now with the "loyal opposition" charging the
same message with "New Oealish" overtones, the
Wall Street paper is going to feel worse than it has
for some time.
OMALL wonder opposition within the Republican
party against a second Eisenhower term is grow
ing. Even the party leader in the senate, Knowland
of California, refuses to join in the "We Want Ike"
movement, and says he doesn't favor the nomination
of anyone to the job who doesn't say he wants it. (As
it becomes more apparent every day that Knowland
DOES want it, that clarifies the disruptive situation
within the party considerably.)
..
"117E don't believe the Journal is preparing to jump
off the Eisenhower bandwagon. Not yet. But in
its comments on the state-of-the-union speech there
was a cooling-off very discernible, especially when
the editor opined that while the President has talked
a great deal about less government in business, the
message seemed to have many recommendations to
put the government and its money, more and more
IN business.
A year ago that would have been regarded as
GOP heresy.
Not today.
CO the situation as far as
within his own party and particularly the Old
Guard section are concerned, promises to get worse
before it gets better.

Matter of Fact
By STEWART ALSOP
IKE KEEPS THEM GUESSING
Washington President Eisen
hower bids fair to do at least as
good a job as President Franklin
Roosevelt, when it comes to baf
fling and bemusing the country
about his intentions. Asked
whether he would ' run again,
Roosevelt used to resort to a
mixture of humor and coyness,
as a sort of conditioned reflex.
Eisenhower's conditioned reflex
is earnestness, which turns out
to be even more difficult to in
terp'ret than coy humor.
The President gave a good
demonstration of how to baffle
people by being earnest a few
days ago, at the most recent of
the newly inaugurated series of
White House political dinners.
Former New York Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey was the leading dinner
guest, and in a period of relaxa
tion over coffee and cigars,
Dewey boldly , introduced the
question of the President's run
ning again.
According to several of those
present, Dewey . was decidedly
emphatic, clearly implying that
it was the President's duty to
accept the Republican nomina
tion. This sentiment was heartily
applauded by the twenty or so
Republicans present, who then
waited with bated breath to hear
the President's response.
rpHE President talked with
great force, immense earnest
ness, and the abrupt hand-chopping
gestures which are typical
of him. He left his guests im
pressed but whoUy unenlight
ened. He talked about the need
to attract young people into the
Party "young in spirit, if not
in years." He talked of the need
to identify the Party with a
"moderate, -progressive, middle-
of the-road philosophy."
He said that this was the kind
of party the voters wanted, and
he wanted. But, he added, he
just did not believe in the theory
of the "indispensable man."
There were many men in the
Republican party capable of
handling the Presidency "some
right here in this room" and it
was his Party's job to bring
these men forward, to build
them up, and develop their abil
ities. . - .
? -The obvious question was
whether the President had 1956
or 1960 principally in mind,
when he was holding forth on
the , necessity for building 'up
Presidential hopefuls. But no

V clined to think that the Pres

dent would run. left even surer,
And a third concluded that the
President had quite genuinely
not made up his mind.
This suggests that President
Eisenhower is auite up to the
task of keeping everybody guess
ing. That is a task he will have
to continue to perform for many
months to come, whatever his
real intentions. Obviously, there
are great advantages in keeping
everybody guessing, and no ad
vantages at all in making his
intentions known.
Those who see him frequently
swear to high heaven that he has
never given any one (except pos
sibly Mrs. Eisenhower) any real
hint to what he actually means
to tin. Tint, for what it is worth,
here is the unanimous view of
members of the White House
lanissariat. and others who come
in frequent contact with him.
In the first place no one aouDts

mid-sixties, reaUy would very
much like to retire to his Get

Eisenhower would like to do so
even more. In this sense, when
the President talks about build
ing up a stable of Republican
presidential possibilities, he prob
ably actually does nave abo
rather wistfully in mind.
TjtVEN so, aside from Presiden
ts-' tial aide Sherman Adams ana
perhaps one or two others, there
is no one around him wno seri
ously doubts that he wiU event
uaUy bite the buUet and run
a sain. This conviction is shared
in both parties in Capitol Hill.
: Partly this is because tnere
are signs that the President is
beginning reallv to enjoy his
job. He is even beginning to en
joy politics as politics. In the
early days, he used to complain
that he dirt not see how a man
could be leader of the country
and leader of a political party
at the same time. Now this seem
inff conflict no longer bothers
him. At the political stag din
ners, he has surprised and de
lighted state political leaders
whn have attended by his knowl
edge of, and interest in, the pol
itics of their state.

of the reason why the conviction
that Eisenhower will run again is i

Pal Wanted -
To the Editor: I am a little
boy, 6 years old, who. has no
daddy, nor grandpa, nor even an
uncle! I live with my mommy,
big sister, and little sister and
my only other folks are an auntie
and two cousins, and guess
what they are girls!
Well, as you can see, it is sure
a woman's world and tho they
are all so good to me, and I love
them, still a feller needs a pal;
a man to let me help him work
on his car, or clean out the base
ment, or build a chicken house,
and maybe sneak out to a movie
or baseball game just we men.
Mom says that big cities have
clubs for boys, like me where
daddys with no boys, and boys
with no daddys get together and
do all kinds of things, like fish
ing, and boxing, and that, not
Just cooking and sewing and
ironing and girl stuff. And I m
not old enough to join the Pal
club in town, either, so that lets
me out, all the way.
Now I'm not a sissy. No Sir!
I'm mighty independent and can
do a lot of things and I don't get
hurt and cry, either, but I sure
need a week-end daddy-pal real
bad, then I'd show him what I
can do.
Lately I've been getting sick
real often, not bad, but just tum
myaches and flu. Mom says I'm
healthy but its "psychological,'
or something, and my school
work is getting bad and I may
have to drop out 'til next year.
I'm not dumb at all, but then
I'm pretty lonesome and I guess
I just spend too much time wish
ing I had a good pal, and think
ing 'bout things. .
Well fellers, that's - my prob
lem. I can't buy a pal, but I sure
could pay for his time in think
ing of him as the greatest guy in
tne worm, so if you don't have a
little boy, or enough little boys.
and you could be my pal on
week-ends, just call my mommy
(3-5464) and I'm sure that if she
thinks you're O.K. that I will
too.

ship of science a national relig

ity), while scientists as such are
elevated to the role of Olympian
gods, it Is good to find a book
with a sceptical slant toward
modern trends by a man who
knows what he is talking about
Plus the ability and guts to ex
press it clearly and forcibly.
Mr. Jungk expresses the
minds and feelings of millions
of inarticulate Americans who
have no outlet of expression,
but who have long looked upon
the thing we eaU progress with
a jaundiced eye and the convic
tion that most of it is psycho
pathic to the point of idiocy.
Other millions applaud the
trend, while the few liberties
we "have left are going down
the drain., ,
But what Is to stop It? In his
final paragraph of the chapter
on Grasping at .Omnipotence,
Jungk expresses the forlorn hope
that a transformation may come
from bitter experience, and ar
rogance wiU give place to. hu
mility (after aU, the only pos
sible feeling in the presence of
nature) a forlorn hope indeed.
Americans are not noted for
humility in the presence of any
thing and most certainly the ar

sponsors will never stop until
a moratorium is declared (by
powers we now wot not of)
on all such, and would-be new-

No Danger of Socialism
To 'the Eidtor: It doesn't make
much difference how much the'
politicians rant and rave about
socialism, the wide gulf of social
distinction . that exists in our
civil service set-up should brush
all of our worries. away.
In our president's proposal for
a civil service wage and salary
hike he says that those in the1
?2,600 per year bracket- should
receive a raise of $125 yearly,
while those in the $11,000 per
year bracket should receive $800
per year raise. Of course this
is in accordance with civil ser
vice regulations, but it shows
just how far we have drifted in
the opposite direction of social
ism. socialism operates only In a
classless society. It looks like
we're leaning more toward fas
cism. Socialism will not get very
aeepiy rooted as long as we can
keep our social stratas so-widely
separaiea.
