MAIL TRIBUNE
The
We liked the crisp, efficient way the National
Guard assembled itself last week.
In about half an hour after the first alert broad
cast, half the Guardsmen had shown up. Within two
hours, thev were all there. Uniforms were donned.
weapons were issued, and
organized fighting or police torce.
THE National Guard is a
tory goes back to the
last week's exercise was
war times, so actually the organization is older than
the nation it serves.
. It's history has had many notable exploits.
For a time after World
as though the Guard, organized along militia lines,
was outmoded.. But the H-Bomb has changed all
that. If worst come to worst and nuclear weapons
were used in warfare, the Guard probably would
form the center of organized defense and civil pro
tection. TT IS somewhat shocking to realize that, for the first
-Mime, war threatens the cities of America; Not
since the War of 1812 has trus country had a real
threat to its own continental shores, and we have
gotten into the habit of thinking of wars as taking
place somewhere else, usually across a couple of thou
sand miles of water.
But no more. The airplane and atomic develop
ments have changed that,, and every section of the
United States is a potential "front line" if the cold
war were to turn hot.
-'
1X7HEN viewed in this light," the National Guard
becomes doubly important. It could serve as
an organized police force to supplement existing
peacetime agencies, which would be overtaxed if
atomic war were to start. A trained and organized
force of men, under competent command, could easily
make the difference between utter chaos and survival.
, Time does funny things. Not the least of these;
surely, is the way it has made the Guardsmen again
into true minutemen who serve at home in time of
need the mission for which they were first organized
some 180 years ago. E.A.
The Bomb
With the above in mind, a document which re
cently came 'to the desk has a special interest. It is
entitled: . .
"Administrative Bulletin No. 63, Supplement No.
1. To: All City and County Civil Defense 'Directors.
Subject: Radiological Hazards." . v
FJESPITE this formidable title, the bulletin is some
what spine-tingling, reading. It outlines the vari
ous possibilities of what could happen a hirogen
bomb were to fall on Portland. . v"'
It assumes, first of all,
gone. v
IF absolutely no precautions were taken nor evacua-

around Portland which would suffer 100 per cent
casualties if the 40-mile-wide oval-shaped cloud of
radioactive material were
estimates.
This radius includes
Washington, Tillamook, Yamhill, Polk, Benton, Linn,
Marion, Clackamas, Multnomah arid Hood River
counties, and parts of Sherman, Wasco, Jefferson,
Deschutes, Lane and Lincoln counties.
HTHE area of 50 per cent
60 miles of the radius
mately through Roseburg, swinging east through the
northern part of Klamath county, and through Des
chutes, Creek, Wheeler and Morrow counties.
The next 40 miles (still assuming no precautions
are taken) is an area of 5 to 10 per cent casualties.
This arc nicks the northern part of Jackson county,
going east and north to Umatilla county.
Beyond that, casualties would be insignificant.
In that "untouched' 'area is Medford.
SIMILAR projection for a H bombing of San
Francisco would show somewhat similar results,
with Medford again just outside the affected area.
The point, as far as we are concerned, is this:
IF a nuclear war comes to pass, and IF either
Portland or San Francisco is bombed, this valley,
isolated and presumably untouched, would become
a natural evacuation center for thousands upon thou
sands of refugees from bombed areas. Our civil
defense thinking logically might well follow these
lines, rather than along what to do in case- an H
bomb descends on us. '
If this were to happen we would need all the
strength and energy and resourcefulness at bur com
mand. . .
'J'HE civil defense publication says flatly:
"An unfriendly nation, Russia, has hydrogen
bombs and sufficient aircraft to launch a saturation
attack against a large number of military and civilian
targets in the United States."
With the world as it is, we must e prepared to
do our best should worst come to worst -
More important, perhaps, is for us to realize that
if America is to survive in recognizable form, war
must be prevented.
"Peace at any price" may not bethe answer, for
the price might be too high. But the price of war
could, and probably would, mean national annihila
tion. E.A. .

Matter of Fact
WHY CONGRESS IS BORING
Washington So far, the most
striking fact about the current
session of Congress is that it has
been the dull
est session
since the .war.
There has not
been a single,
good, healthy,
angry row-
the tax contest
was hardly
more than a
tiff. But the
tedium also
has a real
Stewart Alsop meanmg f or it
tells a good deal about the pres
ent political situation.
Essentially, it is the Demo
crats' fault that the session has
been so dull. Partly this is be
cause the Democratic leaders,
like Lyndon Johnson in the Sen
ate and Speaker Sam Reyburn
in the House, are thorough - go
ing professionals, masters of the
political and parliamentary
trade. Thus the kind of bobbles
and booberies and unnecessary
collisions which have enliven
ed past sessions have been re
grettably absent. '
A much more important rea
son for all the tedium is simply
that the Democrats have so far
failed utterly to develop any
really emotion-charged issue -
any "gut issue," to use the un
pleasant phrase of the profes
sionals. The Democrats were
trying to develop a gut issue to
use rgainst the Administration
in the $20-for-everybody tax cut.
But this was too rawly political,
and when Sen. Walter George,
the key man in the Senate, re
fused to go along, the issue col
lapsed ignominiously.
For the rest, it has become ap
parent that the country stub
bornly refuses to get much in
terest in such matters as the Dix
on-Yates contract, or the iniqui
ties of the Administration's se
curity program, or even the pub
lic power controversies.
The Democrats once counted
heavily on "exposing" the secu
rity program, but they have
since had second thoughts about
appearing to be "against securi
ty," and the expected fireworks
have not taken place. The Dixon-
Yates contract proved to be too
complicated and too local to
make a good issue, and, although
there are passionate feelings
about public power in the nortn-
west and a few other areas,
these feelings are by no means
shared nationally.
rpHE Benson farm program
may well become a gut issue
in the future,; But for the pres
ent, the Democratic Congres
sional leadership does not intend
to start fight on the issue, for
two excellent reasons. The first
is that the Benson program has
not really come into operation
yet, and it is no use attacking
something that does ' not yet
exist.. The second and more
cogent reason for holding off is
simply that 1956, not 1955, is an
election year. Next year a great
deal , will certainly be heard
about the failings of the Benson
program.
The Democrats are beginning
to suspect that there may be the
needed gut issue in the Admin
istration's Asia policy, and es
pecially in the Quemoy-Matsu
crisis. Adlai Stevenson's speech
on the crisis was a brilliant .po
litical exercise, especially since,
as one Democratic strategist has
pointed out, it "made it' possible
for both Walter George and
Wayne Morse to say amen." But
there is still a great issue of cau
tion about a major political issue
out of a foreign crisis. And so
far, at least, the Democrats in
Congress has gone along with
the Administration's foreign pol
icy, with only occasional half
muted wails.
The same is generally true of
the Administration's defense
policy, although a few Senators
like Stuart Symington, of Mis
souri, have cogently criticized
the defense cut-backs, and others
have privately felt uneasy. But,
as one Democrat in the Senate
asked, "How in the devil can a
mere Senator argue about mili
tary matters with Gen. Ike Eis
enhower?" The question suggests another
very important reason why the
session has been dull. In the Tru
man and Roosevelt days, excite
ment was provided hot only by
heroic battles between the par
ties on Capitol Hill, but also by
even more heroic contests be
tween Congress and the White
House.
President Eisenhower has
made it abundantly clear that
he is hot thirsting for any battles
with Congress. The furthest he
has even gone was to call the
House tax bill "irresponsible,"
and the resulting flurry died
down quickly. As for the other
side of the coin, as one Demo
cratic Senator remarked, "Hell,
nobody wants to tangle with Ike.
He's too popular.'
SOME Democrats claim that the
President's amazingly long
honeymoon with Congress, prob
ably the longest in American his
tory, is about to come to an end.
For the remainder of this ses
sion, they say, the intention is to
"zero in" on the President, hang
ing on him personal responsibil
ity for whatever goes wrong,
from farm prices to trouble in
Asia, and no doubt including the
By Stewart Alsop
vagaries of the weather.
But despite the brave talk,
there is on Capitol HiU remark-
ably little real disposition to
"tangle with Ike." The honey
moon looks like continuing, with
only minor bickering, bar war or
depression. Political honeymoons
unlike the other kind, tend to be
dull. -But nerhans the heart of
the matter is that, as long as
there is no war and prosperity
holds up, there really are no
"gut issues" to move, excite, and
divide the American people.

explosion was so violent that it
was heard throughout much of

Two persons in a passing car
saw the explosion. Just about the
time of the blast, they saw a late

the scene with its lights out.

The Salk vaccine conference
was conducted by the Depart

Welfare. Newspaper reading
families, radio listening families,

the conference was coming up.
Directly or indirectly multi-millions
of parents were putting
pressure on the various news
media to report fast and accu

reporters were able to put to
gether a moderately accurate but

ing, but the department's first
official word of what had taken
place did not come until 11:20
p.m., too late for many morning
newspapers to handle properly.
That haphazard method of re

offered limitless opportunities
for error which, if made, could
not have been corrected until the
department's release of the offi

later.
Double-Talk
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said he had no
knowledge of the conference
black-out but assumed that it was
a "working executive session"
and therefore entitled to close,
the doors. That sounded like
double talk. Just about every
meeting of off&ials in govern
ment would be held in secret if
open sessions were limited to the
mere statement of what had been
agreed on after that work was
done.
The black-out on the Salk vac
cine conference became effective
immediately after a brief depart
mental announcement some days
ago that such a meeting would
be held. The department refused
to give the public any details on
planning for the conference, nor
would Dr, Chester S. Keef er, con

cleansed away all your sins. The
one sin now between you and
God is that of rejecting Christ
as dying for you. Receive Christ
into your heart as your own
Lord and Saviour and God gives
you eternal life. Then by Bible
and Prayer, grow up. This mes
