MAIL TRIBUNE
; Neuberger's First Term
The Oregonian's 100 per cent regular Republican
ism often disappoints and displeases this department,
but we have to hand it to the state's leading morning
daily in one direction politically, to wit:
It not only refuses to slant its news reports on a
partisan basis, as so many metropolitan newspapers
do ; but it always gives a fair and square break in its
NEWS columns to the opposition.
A S AN example, the Oregonian prints an excellent
"article regarding Senator Neuberger's return to
Oregon in its issue of August 23rd, wrhich gives our
Freshman Senator a fine play and all in all a very
just objective appraisal of his principles and his politi
cal record thus far.
Unlike the paper's editorial treatment of Oregon's
Democratic Senator No. 2, there is no ridicule or sar
casm expressed or implied, no buttering-up either,
but a straightforward, factual news story, giving Neu
berger's views of his first session in detail, what he
did that he believes worth while, what the congress
did that he believes was and wasn't worthwhile . . .
THE three major failures of the 84th congress, our
Junior Senator believes are to have been failure
tn nass a national school bill, a national good-roads
bill and anything constructive in the realm of civil
rights.
Havinp- sunnorted President Eisenhower more
strongly on his foreign policy, than most of the Re
publicans, it came as no surprise to learn tnat ne oe
Upvps this is the taD-root of the wide-spread Eisen
hower popularity, just as
tion's domestic policy, particularly its Hostility to puD
c. nower are not Donular and may prove to be serious
political liabilities in the
A S far as Senator Morse's reelection is concerned,
" his junior colleague maintains if the people of
Oregon want a capable, courageous and honest rep
resentative in the Upper House they will most cer
tainly return our Senior Senator. As far as any opposi
tion from Governor Patterson is concerried, Senator
Np.nhero-er believes the DODular reaction of the Oregon
voters to that can best be summed up in that the pres
ent Governor is, quote:
"A very nice man but I can't see any difference between
him and McKay."
THERE is only one surprising feature of this article ;
that is the inclusion by Senator Neuberger in the
list of his colleagues who most favorably impressed
him, of the Republican minority leader Senator Wm.
Knowland of California.
In explanation our Junior Senator declared, quote :
"I don't often agree with him but I am convinced he is
sincere and capable. In getting permission for Harry Holt
of Creswell to bring eight Korean orphans to his Oregon
farm, the immigration service check came so late we had to
get the bill in the last day of the session. I went to Senator
Knowland and told him the story. He helped give it priority
clearance. In the face of a lot of major legislation we were
therefore able to take care of an Oregon rancher and eight
Korean orphans."
p RATITUDE for this help is perfectly understand
able, and as a private citizen there has never been
any great question of Senator Knowland's ability and
essential honesty, but there are scores of Senators
whose ability and sincerity can't be questioned, but
few who have worked harder against the essentials
of President Eisenhower's foreign policy, and done
more to bring the threat of World War III closer
than the Senior Senator from California.
To include him therefore in a "preferred list"
with such outstanding anti-isolationist members of
the Senate, as Alben Barkley of Kentucky, Senator
Paul Douglas of Illinois, Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine, Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas,
and Senator Kefauver of Tennessee is somewhat dif
ficult for this department to understand.
Perhaps the word "impressive" is the proper an
swer. At least Senator Knowland IS that very much
so! R.W.R. .
'What Price " Nixon?
There is one thing about President Eisenhower it
has always been hard to understand. That is his in
fatuation with his vice-president, former Senator Nix
on of California.
It is now reported that if "Ike" decides to run for
reelection he will again insist that Nixon be his run
ning mate, and if anything should happen his suc
cessor, of course, in the White House.
XE can't believe the President's enthusiasm for the
California Senator is shared by the American
people as a whole, regardless of party.
As far as this department is concerned we agree
with former President Truman that VP Nixon is a
"phoney" and his alibi when a member of the Senate
for accepting a cash subsidy from a group of Califor
nia tycoons most of them interested in oil was not
only nauseating in its hypocricy, but before any re
alistic impartial appraisal added up to nothing less
than a confession of guilt.
DUT the Nixon alibi was sweetly phrased by Holly
wrood's best publicity artists; the picture of the
Nixon family life was detailed and touching, and the
poetic references to good old "Towser," or was it
"Checkers" the family Cocker? did bring tears to
many dog-loving eyes, t - '
HOW this scenario however COULD have fooled
the hard-bitten military leader of World War II, and
led to such fulsome praise and laudatory congratula
tions as were tape-recorded at the time, we have never

Matter of
HORROR IN THE BLED
Casablanca The story of the
sack of Qued Zem has already
been told how several thous
and Moroccan
tribesmen de
scended on the
small town
and slaughter
ed 51 French
m e n and
many more of
Arabs but, be
cause it sug
gests how ter
rible is the
hatred which
Stewart Alsop tortures this
country, the story may be worth
telling again, as it unfolded be
fore this reporter's eyes.
Last Saturday evening "The
New York Herald Tribune's able
correspondent, Barrett McGurn,
who had made an expedition into
the country side, brought back
reports of very bad trouble in
the area of the town of Oued
Zem. So this renortpr nnr) a
friend, Blair Clark of the Colum
bia Broadcasting Conroanv. set
off in a taxi shortly before dawn
on bunday for a look at Qued
Zem.
Qued Zem is about 90 miles
from Casablanca. McGurn had
been ambushed by Moroccans on
the same road the day before,
and had been very lucky to
escape. So at first we had a
certain tendency to peer anx
iously ahead. But as day broke
over the low, rolling hills, such
anxieties began to seem sillv.
and the drive was like a nleas-
ant country excursion.
-Lhe countryside in Morocco
looks ridiculously like a picture
postcard depicting the Moroccan
countryside. The camels strike
appropriate poses against the
skyline, and people wander
about, among spidery black
tents, in more or less Biblical
costumes. Clark remarked that
it looked like a combination of
the Bible, the deep South, and
the Far West, which it did. Then
the conversation shifted to such
subjects as the difficulties of
foreign reporting and the fright
ful expense of educating chil
dren, and before we knew it we
were in Qued Zem. As the Arab
driver picked his way carefully
through the rubble, we fell sil
ent. There was an odd smell in
the air, half sweet, half bitter.
The small houses on both sides
of the street were burnt out
shells, with a whisp of smoke
still rising here and there. On
the left was a gas station, built
on the American model, with a
familiar sign, Mobiloil-Mobilgas,
and with the familiar "Red Fly
ing Horse" trademark. But the
flying horse had been burned
till the paint cracked, and
through the open doorway of
the burnt out gas station four
or five corpses were visible in a
tangled mass.
A LITTLE further down the
road, there was another
corpse, curled up in a sort of
ball, so badly scorched that it
was impossible to tell to what
race it had once belonged. We
passed a company of Foreign
Legion troops, and got out of
the car. A middle-aged French
woman with a huge bruise on
her arm came trotting round the
corner, carrying a squirrel rifle,
and sobbing, her face contorted
like a baby's.
"Oh, it.was terrible," she said,
although we had said nothing
to her. "It was terrible to hear
the children crying, T do not
want to die, I do not want to
die'." A white-haired Frenchman
came after her, carrying a shot
gun, and muttering half to him
self "Oh, this day I am ashamed
to be a Frenchman. That they
could not give us arms, and the
troops to come so late. And
now! Grandval, come see what
you have done!"
There were a few scattered
shots from somewhere, and a
furious young lieutenant ordered
us out of Qued Zem on pain of
death. We grumbled a little,
but we were not really sorry to
go. We had seen what there
was to be seen, and it was
enough.
From a French reporter just
outside of Qued Zem, and a rail
way worker, and a doctor, and
others, we learned what had
happened how the surrounding
country people had descended
on the town in the morning, to
burn end kill.
We learned details which
scarcely bear repeating how
the Moroccans had cut the
throats of all fifteen children
they caught, and of the seven
patients in the hospital, French
and Arab alike. We learned
also how they had cut off the
noses and tongues of several men
they captured. This sounds un
likely, but it is true. Later, we
flik
lkm
been able to understand and regarding which we have
never heard a convincing or satisfactory explanation.
MOW the President is sending the "VP and Family"
" to Africa on a good will mission, as he has chosen
him to represent the country on many other missions
at home and abroad, in the past. ' "It is nice work if
you can get it."
But why and how ex-Senator Nixon gets it, and
from a chief executive enjoying such a high reputa
tion for genuiness and freedom from pretense and
sham is hard to understand As far as this depart
ment is concerned this remains as it has been, ever
since the election, one of the major mysteries of the
present administration. R.W.R.
Fact by stewa aisoP
stopped at a hospital on the way
to Casablanca, to inquire after
two wounded French newspaper
men. One of the men of Qued
Zem was there, his face all
swathed in bandages, and no
bump where the nose should
have been.
.
WE LEARNED other details
which do not bear repeating
at all. But the above sufficient
ly suggest how hot and horrible
the hatred of the Moroccans for
the French must be. There was
clearly, an element of pure, prim
itive savagery in what happened
the bellies of the rabbits which
were kept in the hospital garden
were slit, and the pigeons in the
pigeon coop were decapitated.
But primitive savagery cannot
be the whole explanation. There
must also be a wolfish hatred
unimaginable and inexplicable to
the Western mind.
At any rate, as we rode back
to Casablanca through the roll
ing, sunny countryside, we
agreed that it seemed somehow
to have lost its peaceful, picture
postcard look. We also agreed
that what we had seen might
have the most terrible conse
quences. It was impossible even for an
outsider to walk through the
streets of ravaged Qued Zem
without feeling an instinctive de
sire for revenge. It would be
natural for the French to re
spond to this instinct, and it may
even be inevitable. But, alas,
revenge begets revenge begets
revenge, in an unending cycle.

Shigemitsu is reported to want
the United States to give him a
definite timetable for the grad
ual withdrawal of American
forces stationed in Japan under
the terms of the Mutual Defense
Treaty between the two coun
tries. In return, he is prepared to
promise a specific schedule for
increasing Japan's armed forces,
a point the U.S. has been insist

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
President Eisenhower says he
will call a special session of con
gress IF NECESSARY to appro
priate money needed to restore to
normal the flood - devastated
states in the eastern part of our
country.
He made the statement to
newsmen after a conference with
the governors of the Northwest
ern states and representatives of
the governors of North and South
Carolina. He had previously
flown over the devastated areas
for a direct look "from the air at
the damage wrought by the
ensuing floods.
WHAT do you think of it?
I think it's SPLENDID.
It will spread among all of
us the burden of a .disaster that
if borne by only a few of us
would be trac and awful.
That's what government is for.

Seventy-five . million dollars
SPREAD AMONG ALL OF US
will amount to a shade better
than 50 cents per head.
I think that in cases of wide
spread and crushing disaster
such as this we'll all be willing
to put up our share.
rpHE forest fire in the Quartz
mountain area of the Fre
mont national forest in Eastern
Oregon it's reported to be
the worst fire in the Fremont
forest since 1951 started in
slash and ran into cutover area
and NEW GROWTH. It is pre
sumed to have been started by
lightning, .
As this is written, it is hoped
that it has been brought under
control and may be prevented
from spreading into virgin tim
ber. rNLY a few days ago, we'd
" have shrugged our shoulders
and said cheerfully: "No harm
done." In those days, we looked
upon timber as a resource Jo be
used up and then forgotten. We
thought of the lumber industry
as a TEMPORARY industry. It
cut out the virgin trees and then
moved on or folded up.
It's different now. In these
more modern days, we know
that timber is a CROP. When it
is cut, it renews itself by the
growth of new trees just as a
pasture that has been grazed
over by livestock renews itself
by growth of the grass.
So
While we're as anxious as ever
to ave the virgin trees FOR
THE NEEDS OF THE PRES
ENT
We're anxious to save the
growing trees for the needs of
the- future.
That's quite a change.
rpHIS interesting little tale has
ust clicked off the teletype
The state of Oregon has pub
lished its first livestock brand
book in five years. It is being
distributed by the state depart
ment of agriculture. In its 248
pages it lists some 11,725 brands
of which 8,668 are cattle
brands.
The oldest brand listed in the
book is considered to be the first
used in Oregon. During the 1849
gold rush a man named RusseU
Dement moved to the Myrtle
Point, area. He picked up FIVE
ELK COWS, tamed them and
branded them with the letter D.
The brand is still being used by
the Dement family in Coos coun
ty. LOOK at it this way:
The gold of Southern Ore
gon was great stuff in its day.
It built a town of some 10,000
at Port Orford, where 'the gold
supply ships anchored. When
Port Orford was destroyed by a
great fire, the gold camp supply
ships moved on to the Umpqua
river and built at the head of
tide at Scottsburg another big
town that missed by only a few
votes being chosen as Oregon's
capital.
Southern Oregon's gold has
been mined out, but the livestock
industry that was founded by
RusseU Dement STILL GOES
ON.

News About Books
From the Library
: "Man, however well behaved,
at best is only a monkey shaved."
So said W. S. Gilbert. Whether
or not we consider Gilbert's
judgment fair, most of us feel
a great deal of interest -in the
curious habits of our animal
neighbors and taking delight in
noting their resemblance to our
own ways.
Not many of us have the op
portunity to observe the reac
tions of a wild creature living
under strictly human circum
stances, however. One couple
who did were Cathy Hayes and
her husband, a research psychol
ogist, when they adopted a chim
panzee and raised her exactly as
though she were a human child.
Their scientific experiment soon
turned in to three-ring circus
and provides interesting and of
ten hilarious ready for us in
Cathy Haye's book, "The Ape
in Our House."
Most of us know the dog as
he shares the life of his human
masters, Henry Lamond, on the
other hand, writes of the dog as
a wild animal in "Dingo, the
story of an Outlaw." White Ears
was one of the dingoes, the wild
dogs that course the vast plains
of Australia. He had been cap
tured by a hunter who wished
to tame and train him, but he
was rescued by his mother and
became a killer after his kind.
Of the many who hunted him
only one man understood him,
and this is the story of their un
derstanding, the admiration of
one strong being for another.
Heinrich Oberjohann shared
the life of ' wild elephants for
years'; until he said of himself,
"I had myself become an ele
phant." A big game catcher, but
not a hunter, Oberjohann was
interested above all in the big
beast's way of life. He trailed
the wild elephants- of Central
Africa into their remotest re
treats; and in his book, "Ko
moon!" he commimicates the
tremendous excitement of trail
and chase.
The less exciting, but no less
fascinating, lives of such small
creatures as foxes, fawns, squir
rels,' racoons, and even mosquit
oes are described in daily detail
by Sally Carrighar in three old
er titles in the library: "One day
on Beetle Rock," "One Day at

Harvest of Early
O
Peaches Starts
In Jackson County
Local growers are harvesting
early varieties of peaches, most
ly Golden Jubilee and Roches
ter, with the main harvest to
come about Sept. 10, according
to County Agricultural Agent
Don Berry.
Berry said housewives, plan
ning to can bartlett pears should
get their fruit within the next
two weeks as the harvest will
end the first week in September.
Spray Recommended
Berry advised orchardists to
spray peaches for brown rot be
fore the next rain or about 10
days before harvest.
For dusting, the county agent
prescribed 60 pounds of sulfur.
Ziram, of Captan dust per acre.
Six pounds wetable sulfur; one
and one half pounds Ziram, or
two pounds Captan per 100 gal
lons of water were recommended
for spraying.
Speed Sprayers
In speed sprayers, use 24
pounds wettable sulfur, eigh$
pounds Ziram, or 10 pounds
Captan per acre. If mites are
present, add one-third pint 20
per cent TEPP per 100 gallons,
or, in speed sprayers, use 20 per
cent TEPP at the rate of one
pint per acre. '
Berry said dusting is preferred
to spraying as less residue is
left on the fruit.
