MAIL TRIBUNE
The Talbott Case etc., etc...
The ardor and unanimity of agreement among Re
publican leaders that the Talbott case can't hurt their
party politically, strikes this department as rather am
using. It reminds one of the brave little boy taking a short
cut home to get there in time for dinner, whistling a
lively tune as he scurries through the grave-yard.
.
70R few of the Republican leaders CAN doubt for
a moment that this case of "misfeasance" in the
President's cabinet, WILL hurt their party in next
year's election. It can hardly do otherwise.
Whether that hurt will be serious politically or not
remains to be seen. Whether this case will become,
along with similar examples of placing General Mo
tors above the General Welfare, a major factor, in
the campaign, also can't be forecast with any cer
tainty, so much depends upon what happens in the
next year and how quickly and competently the Dem
ocratic party takes advantage of the situation.
.
DUT that here is an issue and an important one,
0 which MIGHT put the Republican party out of
power, we would regard as certain as anything in
politics can be.
The alibis offered for the Talbott case, only
strengthens this judgment.
Senator Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona express
ed the GOP official point of view correctly, no doubt,
when as chairman of the Republican campaign com
mittee he said, quote :
"The Talbott resignation can hardly be made into a pol
itical issue because of the absence of criminal intent."
Columnist Frank Kent, stalwart GOP partisan,
added in his column in the Oregonian, quote :
"The Dixon-Yates business has been so blown-up as to
become a bore, and the Talbott affair while certainly un
pleasant not to say malodorous . . . will in a years time, be
forgotten."
THERE is no doubt that Columnist Kent HOPES it
will be forgotten and also hopes that the Dixon
Yates contract has, to a majority of the voters at least,
become a "bore" but how can he be so sure?
In the past the American voters regardless of
party, have refused to forget similar scandals in a
year's time, or for many years in fact, that might
prove to be the case in 1956.
OOWEVER in this case as in so many others, only
" 'time can tell.'
But this much we believe is fairly certain. When
the people of this country take enough interest in the
Dixon-Yates deal, and the Talbott resignation to get
ALL the facts concerning them, there will be a strong
turn in the tide of popular feeling against the party
responsible.
Not that in either case there was anything "CRIM
INAL." But a party does not have to be "criminal"
to lose favor with the people of this country.
"Misfeasance" in office in fact, is defined as
"wrongful performance of a LAWFUL act."
And by his own admission Secretary Talbott was
guilty of just that. We can't believe the American
people approve of misfeasance in public office, or
wish to see such a policy continued. But because no
crime was committed Chairman Goldwater says no
votes will be lost.
' This cynical attitude may represent a majority of
the Republican party. In other words "keep within
the law" and if you can as a member of the govern
ment, pull down $100,000 a year for yourself because
of that membership, whether it comes from General
Motors, U.S. Steel, or the "Mulligan Engineers"
that's OK. Business is business, there is nothing crim
inal in making a cute profit while serving your coun
try if your company doesn't get it some other company
will, so why beat the drums about a little thing like
that? That is the GOP doctrine ... if the Arizona
senator is right.
IT IS to President Eisenhower's credit that he repud-
iates this doctrine and instead of deploring the
resignation of his Secretary of Air, approved it, al
though we believe his best and closest friends wish
he had demanded it.
Well, why didn't he go all out and demand it?
The President alone knows, but our guess. is be
cause he wants peace and unity within his party, al
most as earnestly as he wants peace and unity in the
world.
And if he. should have demanded this resignation,
and the resignation of all party leaders in his cabinet
and out, who believe not only business is business, but
business comes FIRST, he would have, found his job
a very lonely and trying one. As the President recently
remarked, he has had "enough of war," he wants to
live out the rest of his years in harmony and peace.
LJOWEVER that may be, we feel sure that if the
general apathy now prevailing in this country
should be dispelled in another 12 months it may be
and the people as a wrhole become aroused to what
is, and has been, going on in Washington, of late,
these two examples of misfeasance in office represent
ed by the Talbott and the Dixon-Yates cases, might
well become vital factors in next year's campaign.
This would be not so much in themselves as in demon
strating the fundamental difference in policy between
our two major parties, their sharply conflicting con
ceptions of what a government of the people by the
people and for the people should be. R.W.R.
Thuriday. August 4. I9S5
Today and
By Walter
THE OFFICIAL AND
THE PARTNER
The 'mystery of the Talbott
case is how he managed to act
so foolishly, and the best expla
nation would
seem to be that
he has been two
men, public of
ficial and pri
vate promoter,
inhabiting the
same body. The
The Secretary
of the Air
Force and the
waiter uppmann Mulligan part
ner have lived and worked side
by side in the Pentagon, each
more or less uncontrolled by
the other. The Secretary did not
serve the partner corruptly. But
neither did he rule the partner
properly.
There is no evidence, I be
lieve, that Mr. Talbott used his
power as Secretary of the Air
Force to induce or compel de
fense contractors to give profit
able business to the Mulligan
firm. There is no evidence, that
is to say, that he meant to act
corruptly. On the contrary, the
evidence, including his own ad
mission of his mistakes, shows
that the Secretary was not really
aware of what the Mulligan
partner was doing. Had he real
ized it, had he been acting con
sciously and corruptly, he would
have taken the trouble, as a
competent villain would, to cov-
his tracks. The last thing he
would have done was what Tal
bott actually did do, which was
to promote his private business
from his office in the Pentagon
and with the help of Air Force
personnel and on- Air Force
stationery.
THERE is no obvious explana
tion nf s li i h pvtrflnrHinnrv
v-v.- " J
foolishness. There is no doubt
that he has been proud and hap
py to be Secretary of the Air
Force, and that he was deeply
attached to his high and hon
orable office. There is no doubt
that he is a rich man to whom
$60,000 is not important money,
and that it could buy him noth
ing remotely so precious as his
public office. There is no doubt,
on the other hand, that his Mul
ligan activities, once they were
known, were obviously bound
to ruin his public career. There
is no doubt, moreover, that, his
activities will hurt badly the
Mulligan firm itself. '
The whole performance makes
no sense except on the theory
that Talbott was two men, and
that when the Mulligan partner
was in charge of his body, the
Secretary of the Air Force was
sleeping and unconscious. . For
no Secretary of the Air Force
who was functioning at all could
have supposed that it was right
to promote from his office in
the Pentagon a profitable private
business on the fringes of the
national defense. In this case
the Secretary did not veto the
partner's activities. Neither did
he hide' his activities. So I say
that the public official must
have been suppressed and asleep.
THE question, then, is why the
Secretary of the Air Force
did not govern the promoter,
why he did not enforce the stand
ards of public behavior upon
the private business man. There
is here a great and persistent
ethical question which has been
discussed since the days of the
Greek moralists. Can a man who
knows what is right do wrong
can he knowingly give in to
his appetite, say for the Mulli
gan profits? Socrates held that
no one acts against what he
knows to be right that men act
wrongly from ignorance.
But Aristotle disagreed with
Socrates, pointing out that a man
may do what is wrong if his
convictions about what is right
are confused and weak, not clear
and strong. In this deplorable
case we must, I believe, side
with Aristotle and say that as
compared with the avarice of
the Mulligan partner the moral
convictions of the Secretary
were confused and weak. .
IT HAS. been pointed out that
the Talbott case poses the prob
lem of the workability and the
fairness of the old statute about
"conflict of interests." There is,
of course, such a problem, and
it is a very difficult one. But
the Talbott case bears only in
directly, in my view, on that
problem. For no matter how
much the statutes were liberal
ized, it could never be stretched
to the point of tolerating the
use of a public office to pro
mote a private business that is
closely related to the public
business. The law might be re
vised, for example, to permit
a man to keep his old securities,
and to receive the dividends. But
nobody would suggest that it
could be made lawful for him
to use the facilities of public
office to enhance the value of
his securities.
The essence of the problem of
"conflict of interests" is that
only the most elementary rules
can be fixed in the law, that
all the rest lies in what Lord
Moulton once called "the domain
of manners," which includes "all
Tomorrow
Lippnann
the things that a man should
impose upon himself from duty
to good taste." It is possible
to say in the law that an official
must not make a private profit
out of his public actions. But
it is not possible to set down
in the law just how he. must
decide the more complicated is
sues where his private interest,
though it is involved, cannot
be measured in dollars and cents.
His moral duty is to decide
every question on public grounds
alone, regardless of whether this
hurts or helps him, his family,
his partners, his friends, or his
political party. But here, not
the law but only an instructed
conscience can help him make
the decision.
In the case of a high and con
spicuous public official, who
must not only do his job but
cannot help setting an example,
the sovereign rule is never to
give his private interests the
benefit of any doubt. Talbott
seems not to have understood
that rule.
THOUGH I think it has no bear-
which is quite simple and en
vious, the wider problems, of the
conflict of interests need to be
re-examined and reconsidered.
They are a complicated cluster
of problems. One of them,
though only one, arises from the
fact that for many business exe
cutives the holding of a public
office is not a new career but
an interlude in their normal
careers. The question is whether
a temporary public servant can
be expected, or should be re
quired, to reorganize his private
affairs as if he were a Federal
judge or a foreign security of
iicer or a civil servant in a life
time career. Many men refuse
the temporary public asisgnment
because they are unwilling to
make the big personal sacrifice
which the existing rules now de
mand. And,i on the other hand,
insofar as the temporary of
ficials are Intending to return
to their old business, can it
truly be said that there is not,
in the intent of the . statute, a
conflict of interests.
We must, I think ask our
selves whether, except in the
emergency of war, it is good
public policy to rely so much
on temporary officials. For my
self I do not think it is. For no
matter how able the business
executive, it will take him a long
time to learn the public busi
ness. ' The Pentagon has seen a
continuing stream of civilian
officials, coming in with no
knowledge of the Pentagon and
going out just about when they
have acquired some knowledge.
Does not the public business of
national defense require civilian
as well as military officers who
make the national defense the
work of their lives?
Sometimes I wonder whether
the President is not mistaken in
thinking that a trained private
executive and a trained public
official are interchangeable. For
instead of building up a corps of
high career officials, he seems to
be trying to get' along with men
borrowed temporarily from the
off iciaL hierarchy of the private
corporations.

Thinks It Cruel and Inhuman
To the Editor: I have sent a
letter to the Judge Advocate
General, United States Army,
Pentagon Bldg., Washington,
D.C., which reads as follows:
"I read with interest an ar
ticle a few days ago in my local
newspaper of Pvt. Arthur
Athans, who deserted from the
Army Dec. 7, 1944 and has been
sentenced to 25 years imprison
ment.' "It strikes me as strange that
a man in his circumstances
should be made an example of.
He has, according to the paper,
become a successful business
man and lived under honorable
conditions. I think justice could
be served much more readily by
taking the judges who sentenced
trvi. Ainans on a one way riae
or sentence them to a similar
term for cruel and inhuman
punishment.
"I am a man who will always
take the side of the under dog.
If the whole army were made
up of the sort of characters who
sentenced Pvt. Athans, who
probably was a better character
than the courts martial judges.
"I sincerely hope that when
the case comes before you for
your consideration - you will
make an honest attempt to rec
tify this obvious error. 1
"Thanking you in advance for
your attention to this matter."

Secretary Dulles tells report
ers in Washington the United
States hopes eventually to ob
tain from the Chinese Com
munists a declaration .renoune
ing the use of force.
He says that would clear the
way for extensive negotiations
between the Chinese and other
countries on major problems.
IIHAT he means, I think, is
that he hopes to convince
the Chinese commies that talk
ing is cheaper than shooting
and if he's to do that he'll have
to convince them that if they
start shooting we'll shoot back
HARDER AND STRAIGHTEK.
AT ANY rate, he said flatly
--that the status of Formosa
and other islands held by the
Chinese Nationalists is NOT
subject to negotiation, and he
added crisply that the United
States will NOT abandon the
Southeast Asia Treaty Organ
ization in return for Chinese
Communist declaration denounc
ing force.

We aren't going to throw any
of our friends to the Communist

TODAY'S all-over Oregon note.
Let's start it with Cabbage
Hill, where the ox wagons of
the Oregon Trail emigrants
came out of the Blue Mountains
and gazed down on what are
now the rolling wheat (and pea)
lands of the Pendleton-Walla
Walla country.
It is an amazing view now,
and then it must have been an
inspiring . view for on the far
western horizon they could dis
cern dimly the peaks of the
Last Mountann Range beyond
which lay the Promised Land.
T SUPPOSE that when they
prodded their oxen into mo
tion again after the pause for
the view they didn't realize that
the road their " wagon wheels
were tracing would, long dec
ades later, provide an interest
ing chapter in the history of
Western highways and the cost
thereof.
rFHE ROAD their wheels were
tracing cost them nothing but
toil and sweat. The same might
be said without too much exag
geration. of the road that exist
ed up and down Cabbage Hill
for the next three-quarters of
a century.
Then
In 1917
Came Oregon's awakening to
the new era of good roads. Six
years later, a MODERN HIGH
WAY was completed up Cab
bage Hill. It was located, by
the way, by a young engineer
named Sam Baldock. Its sur
face was gravel, and it cost
$6,000 a mile which was then
a staggering price.
A NEW road is now nearing
completion there, after 30
years of relocation and im
provement. It will cost $160,000
per mile.
But
Whereas the old road wound
and twisted like a snake the
new highway that is now nearly
ready for use will have only
three curves that will require
no material slackening of speed
and they can be taken safely at
55 mph.
Such is modern progress.
A ND- "
Whereas it took the ox wag
on emigrants MONTHS to get
from Cabbage Hillto the Will
amette valley the highway in
spection trip in the course of
which these notes were scribbled
covered the distance between
Portland and the foot of Cab
bage Hill between breakfast and
lunch.
That, in terms of modern pro
gress, offsets the fact that the
new road up Cabbage Hill will
cost 25 times as much per mile
as the road that was built three
decades ago.
INCIDENTALLY, the old road
that was finished in 1923 was
dedicated by President Warren
Harding, who was making a
"swing around the circle" and
died in San Francicso a few
days later.
Elderly Portlander
Dies; Savings Found
Portland U.R) The coroner's
office said today that $1140
worth of postal savings stamps
was found in the effects of an
elderly man who died of
natural causes.
It was the second such case in
two days here.
The postal stamps were found
in the effects of Edward Henry
Byerley, 70, who died Tuesday.
They were in an unlocked
dresser, drawer at the hotel
where he had been staying..

Tito May Be Seeking
To Establish Self as
Balkan Satellite Head
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
PrpeidMit Tito of Yugoslavia
may be trying to set himself up
as the leader of the communisi-
ruled countries
of Southeast
ern Europe.
There never
has been any
doubt that Tito
got the best of
it when Nikita
S. Khrushchev,
the Russian
Communist
Party boss,
and Premier
i:harlp Mrl aim Nikolai A. JJui-
ganin visited him two months
ago.
It was suggested then that, as
the result of the humiliating pil
grimage of the Kremlin's two
top men, Russia's grip on its sa
tellite countries would be
weakened.
Now there are indications
that Tito feels the same way.
Wolfson Files Suit
Against Newspaper
Washington (U.R) Louis
E. Wolfson, board chairman of
the strikebound Capital Transit
Co., filed a , $30,000,000 libel
suit against the Washington- Post
and Times Herald yesterday.
Wolfson, who lost a recent
proxy fight to capture control
of Montgomery Ward Co., ac
cused the newspaper and two of
its officials of libeling him in
three editorials dealing with the
34-day-old public transportation
strike.
Officials accused along with
the newspaper were Eugene
Meyer, v board chairman, and
Philip L. Graham, president and
publisher.
Graham said the paper is "not
going to be intimidated by
nuisance law suits" by Wolfson
"or by any other person who
we feel is acting contrary to the
public interest."
He said the Post and Times
Herald's sole aim in criticizing
Wolfson's Capital Transit Co.
dealings has been to obtain bet
ter streecar and bus service for
the nation's capital.
French Cabinet OKs
Faure's Moscow Trip
Paris U.R) The French Cab
inet today approved the forth
coming visit to Moscow of Pre;
mier Edgar Faure and Foreign
Minister Antoine Pmay.
Formal approval of the proj
ected visit was given during a
three-hour Cabinet meeting
called to discuss Russia's invita
tion to the French leaders two
days ago. '
The probable date for the visit
is early October.
That would put the French
visit to the Soviet capital after
the visit of West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer and
shortly before the Big Four for
eign ministers resume the East
West talks at Geneva.
Frank Morgan -
o
The idea is that he would like
to make himself the No. 1 Com
munist in the Balkans. He could
do this only at Russia's expense.
Bulgaria especially is men
tioned as a possible target of the
ambitious Yugoslav leader.
It was in 1947 that Tito signed
a sweeping agreement with the
late Premier Georgi Dimitrov of
Bulgaria. It called for a customs
union and coordination of for
eign policy, among other things.
Josef Stalin at once recognized
the danger of that accord. He
compelledcDimitrov to cancel it.
Tito Breaks With Joe
A year later, Tito broke with Q
the Kr.emlin because he would
not submit to, Russian domina
tion. Dimitrov died in a sanitarium
on July 2, 1949. As is usual in
such instances there were hints
that his death might haveCfoeen
officially arranged for him. But
there seems no reason to doubt
that, long ailing, he died a
natural death.
Tito has been doing pretty
well for himself this year.
It was a momentous occasion
in the Communist world when
Khrushchev and Bulgaain vis
ited him o patch up relations.
The Kremlin tried to blame
its breach with Tits on executed
Soviet secret police chief Lav
renti P. Beria. q
In what seemed o be a delib
erate slap at Khrushchev and
Bulganin, Tito said in a state
ment made public Tuesday:
Tito Blames Stalin
"The,Soviet leaders admitted
that there had been certain men
who had done an injustice to
Yugoslavia, and that Beria was
the main one. I think that he
Should be included, but that
Stalin was the main manV
Of course, that was true. Sta
lin was a grim, vindictive man
who never forgave an enemy,
and never forgave insubordina
tion. The men in the Kremlin
started trying to patch up rela
tions with Tito as sootvas Stalin
died in March, 1953.
It had taken them two years
to do it, and some day they may
feel that the price they paid was
too high.
Early in May, one month be
fore the Khrushchev-Bulganic
visit to Tito, a United Press Bel
grade dispatch said it might
eventually mean "the big break
both Yugoslavs and westerners
have been pointing for since
1948 the beginning of the de
tachment of, the sattelites from
the Soviet Union."
