Editorial Correspondence
I ' ij
San Francisco, Oct. 25 There have been three strange
explosions here since our arrival and now a large sized earth
quake. All have been featured by front-page banners in the
local papers, and the quake by picture layouts with damage
estimated at a million dollars. (What is a million dollars these
days?.)
Well at any rate your correspondent heard none of the front
page explosions and never was able to find anyone else in the
hotel who had, including the omniscient bell-captain.
The quake was different. Everyone in the hotel and pre
sumably outside awake at 8 p.m. on Sunday experienced that
temblor and some were terrified by it not so much over what
had happened as what they feared, with the earthquake and fire
of 1906 in mind, might happen. However.the danger has passed
now and all is serene. In fact your correspondent some years
ago spent the night in the lobby of the Barbara .Worth hotel in
El Centro, Calif., with several hundred other guests some of
them in their pajamas because of an earthquake shock that was
at least five times as long and severe as this one of 49 hours
ago. We doubt if the San Francisco papers paid much attention
to it, for the most damage was across the Mexican line but it
was not a pleasant experience, far more alarming than the Sunday
night affair. '
.-
The reaction to earthquakes on the part of the California
native sons and the visiting firemen are very different. The
visitors are as a whole thrilled by the experience and unless they
have been crowned by a falling brick wouldn't have missed it
for the world. The San Franciscans are not thrilled, don't like to
talk about it, and when comment can't be avoided, play the inci
dent down, as of no consequence, usually ending their remarks
with an observation that they greatly prefer these mild quakes
to the hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones that visit the eastern
part of the USA once or twice a week! Thus local pride triumphs
here as it does in most communities especially west of the
Rockies.
As a matter of fact, while practically all the quake experts
agree there will eventually be another "Big Shake" in San Fran
cisco as severe as that of half a century ago, there is almost
equal agreement that the extent and destruction of the quake
will be far less. A great deal of fun has been made of San
Francisco for terming that 1906 quake a "fire," but it is un
doubtedly true that the main destruction was caused by the fire,
and had the water supply not been destroyed by the shake the
disaster would have been a decidedly minor , instead, of a major
one. That temblor lasted only a bit over one minute but was
of great intensity. If a similar one should occur today, with the
improvement in building and water-system construction, it is
practically certain there would be no catastrophe approaching
that of 50 years ago. It would be nothing to welcome, however.
.
Meanwhile we would agree with a certain beer advertising
that "It is LUCKY if you live in Oregon."
-
Football is like war in many respects, none more than the
secret of victory is to get there f ustest with the mostest men.
That is what the Chicago Bears did against the SF 49'ers here
Sunday, coming from behind to win in the final quarter by putting
up such a mass of interference on ground plays that the local
team good as it is just couldn't throw the invaders back. Or
at least they didn't which adds up to the same thing.
V '
Tonight's "News" has a banner lay-out that sounds like a
baby (Dear Little Snookums) announcement, to-wit:
"Takes first step first photograph also."
It does not refer to any baby however but to "Ike" Eisenhow
er, President of the United States, who looks fit as several fiddles.

Progress Against Job Bias
The old adage, "you can catch more flies with
honey than you can with vinegar," would seem to
apply to the administration's attitude on eliminating
discrimination in employment. The government's
powers o'f persuasion against job discrimination were
to be emphasized at the National Economic Oppor
tunity conference in Washington this week. . r .
The conference had been called by President Eis
enhower after a meeting Aug. 27 with Secretary of
Labor James P. Mitchell. When it became apparent
that the President's health would not permit him to
meet with the group, those who had been invited
said that they wanted to attend anyway. Vice-President
Nixon, chairman of .'the President's Committee
on Government Contracts, was to act as host.
DACK in January, 1953, President Tinman's Com
mittee on Government Contract Compliance re
ported that many government agencies were failing
to enforce non-discrimination clauses in contracts
with private companiesThereupon, Jess Larson, out
going General Services Administrator, on Jan. 21, de
clared that "persuasion or cancellation" of contracts
would be used to force companies with government
contracts to end racial or religious bias in employ
ment. President Eisenhower on Aug. 13, 1953, issued
Executive Order 10479, creating a 15-member com
mittee to strengthen compliance with the fair-employment-practice
provisions of federal contracts. The
committee was to make recommendations to contract
ing agencies and to encourage educational -programs.
Also it was empowered to receive complaints of vio
lations. i
THE committee wTas greeted at its first meeting on
Sept. 14, 1953, by a letter in which the President
declared that "on no level of our national existence
can inequality be justified." Moreover, "within the
government itself, tolerance of inequality would be
odious."
The committee on Apr. 20, 1954, revised the fair-employment-practice
clause in government contracts
so as to define specific work situations to which it
applies. These included: "employment, upgrading,
demotion, or transfer; recruitment ... ; layoff or
termination ; rates of pay, or other f orms of compen
sation; and selection for training (including appren
ticeship)." On Oct. 26, 1954, Mitchell announced that
thereafter contracts made by the District of Columbia
also would bar job discrimination. i
The committee on Jan. 13 last was able to an
nounce an anti-bias agreement covering jobs on
Washington streetcars and buses. And on Oct. 1,
Nixon called the committee's wrork "one of the most
exciting stories of this administration . . . that without
fanfare or ballyhoo, working quietly and persuasive
ly, literally thousands of job opportunities have been
opened up to Americans who previously were not
able to obtain positions in these fields." E.R.R.

MdttBr Of FaCt By Joe and Stewart Alsop
THE HERTER CANDIDACY
Washington The hard-headed
political professionals are taking
more and more interest in the
embryo Re
publican can
didacy of Gov
ernor Christ
ian Herter, of
Massachusetts.
The Herter
candidacy is in
the embryo
stage, in the
sense that the
extremely able
Massachusetts
governor has
JoMph Also
not yet indicated his decision to
run even to those closest to him.
It is also a strictly regional af
fair, thus far, with few if any
repercussions outside New Eng
land. But it is a real candidacy, in
the sense that Governor Herte
can almost certainly be expected
to run if Pres
i d e n t Eisen
hower neither
runs himself
nor designates
his successor.
And in the fu
ture this Her
ter candidacy
can have the
most far-reach-i
n g national
T a nariiiccinne
if only because St Alaop
of its possible effects on the for
tunes of other Republican hope
fuls, such as Vice-President Rich
ard Nixon in particular.
. To dispose first of the reasons
for thinking that the Herter can
didacy is a real thing under the
conditions named, they are of
an extremely practical nature.
A man who wants to have a try
for high office always thinks
first of removing any possible
disqualifications.
Governor Herter suffers from
two potential disqualifications
the doubts about his health,
caused by partly crippling ar
thritis; and the doubts about his
eligibility for the Presidency,
caused by his having been born
in Paris.
Action has been taken already
to remove one of these disquali
fications. Governor Herter's doc
tors have advised him that his
arthritis is not progressive: that
his condition is actually improv
ing somewhat; and that it con
stitutes no bar to any political
effort he may wish to make.
TJIS BIRTH in Paris would ap---pear
to pose a more serious
problem. In fact, however, both
Herter's parents were American
citizens and he was registered at
the U.S. consulate immediately
after birth. Thus the lawyers
have no doubt at aU that Herter
is one of the "natural born" Am
ericans who are. alone eligible,
according td the Constitution, to
enter the White House. The prob
lem, really, is not whether Her
ter is eligible, but how to' re
move the slight cloud of doubt
by having his eligibility legally
declared.
Various ways of getting the
necessary legal judgment have
already been explored in the
Herter camp. One of them is to
have the Governor enter the
New Hampshire primary next
March; and then to have the
Secretary of State of New Hamp
shire question his eligibility, so
that the matter can be referred
to the Federal District Court.
Other devices are also being dis
cussed, by all of them and here
is the significant point revolve
around a test of the Governor's
right to run in the Presidential
primary in New. Hampshire. .
Right here, of course, is where
the professional polls see the
Herter candidacy assuming great
national meaning. The New
Hampshire primary is the first
and therefore the most closely
watched of the whole long series
of Presidential primaries.
In the present instance, New
Hampshire has particular inter
est for Republicans, in view of
the. state's close White House
connection with former Gov
ernor Sherman Adams. If Pres
ident Eisenhower means to indi
cate his preferred successor, but
wishes to avoid any formal, pub
lic statement, Governor Adams
can do the job for him in New
Hampshire.
As has been stated, Governor
Herter's candidacy will not ma
terialize if the President chooses
to run again or wishes to desig
nate the . Republican nominee,
direcUy or indirectly. Herter
was one of the original Eisen
hower Republicans, and he is an
Eisenhower man through and
through. But if the race is open,
Herter will enter the New Hamp
shire primary. A New Hamp
shire . race between Governor
Herter and Vice-President Nixon
will then be a strong possibility.
. . ...
IN -SUCH a test, Nixon would
presumably be supported by
the New Hampshire faction of
Senator Styles Bridges. Herter
would have two assets his own
great and deserved popularity in
New England, and the backing of
the anti-Bridges faction. In sim
ilar tests in the past, the Bridges
faction in New Hampshire has
been repeatedly trounced. In
short, if the test occurs, a Her
ter victory is by no means impos
sible. This single possibility is of
course enough to arouse the in
terest of the political profes
sionals in the Herter candidacy.
With Massachusetts, New Hamp
shire and a considerable num
ber of delegates from the other
New England states, . Herter 1
would be an extremely import
ant regional candidate. Although
still regional, his candidacy
would automatically and im
portantly affect the standings of
all of the other candidates.
The real question for Herter
himself, meanwhile is whether
he can raise himsalf from the
regional into the national class.
As an excellent governor of a
big state who is also a 100 per
cent Eisenhower man, he meets
two thirds of the Republican
specifications. But whether he
can put himself over nationally
remains to be seen. x

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Business News note:
In the January to September
period of this year, General Mo
tors had an average of 622,000
employees. Its payrolls in that
period came to a total of two
and one-third billion dollars.
These figures were made pub
lic today in Detroit in a state
ment preceding the corporation's
third quarter report to its stock
holders. VI'HEN you think of General
" Motors, I suppose you think
of its owners as a small group
of portly gentlemen, very well
dressed, each driving a Cadillac
(with perhaps two or three more
in the garage at home) and each
owning a private yacht.
If so, you're wrong.
According to the latest fig
ures available at the moment
(which are several months old)
General Motors has a. total of
459,099 stockholders. That is to
say: For every three General
Motors employees, there are two
General Motors stockholders.'
Putting it another way, the
Owners of G.M. are almost as
numerous as the WORKERS for
G.M.
WHAT the demagogs want us
1 ' to believe is that America's
great corporations are owned by
a few fat and happy individuals
who have the world by the tail
with a downhill pull.
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. Our great business
corporations are owned by HUN
DREDS OF THOUSANDS of
people who are investing their
money in these large enterprises.
American Telephone and Tele
graph has 1,300,000 stockhold
ers. Standard Oil of New Jersey
has 297,000. General Electric has
295,060. United States Steel
(known as Big Steel) has 225,-
000.
And so on
TN HIS annual message, Presi-
A dent Petrus Peterson . tells
delegates to the 1955 session of
the National Reclamation assoc
iation, which is meeting this
week at Lincoln, Neb., that de
spite present agricultural 'sur
pluses reclamation development
is essential to help meet the na
tion's food and. fiber demands
of .the future. '
He pointed out that industries
are laying plans now - to meet
the demands of a population
growth of 45,000,000 persons in
the next 20 years, but critics of
reclamation say the reclamation
program should be STOPPED.
He added: '
"Our critics seem to assume
that a project planned, in 1955
wiU add to the food surplus in
1956. They seem oblivious to the
FACT that urban development,
industrial plants, airports, high
ways and other-enterprises are
annually TAKING OUT MORE
ACRES OF GOOD AGRICUL
TURAL LANDS THAN WE
CAN HOPE TO OFFSET BY
RECLAMATION."
WHAT the president of the
National "Ronlamatinn an.
ciation' is telling us is that the
bulk of the GOOD land in the
United States has already been
developed. About all that re
mains open for development is
the arid and semi-arid land of
the West
Good land is being covered
up faster by industrial and hous
ing developments, highways, air
ports, etc., than the remaining
good land can be brought into
production by reclamation.
At the same time, our nation
is facing a population increase
of 45,000,000 persons in the next
20 years. Which is to say that
all the remaining irrigable land
in the West will be NEEDED by
the time it can be brought into
production.
DON'T KILL. OFF IRRIGA
TION.
. If that is done, our nation will
regret it. .
11HAT be is telling us is pecul-
iarly true of southern Ore
gon. California is the nation's
most rapidly growing state. It is
already and will continue to be
the West's dominant market.
Southern Oregon lies close to
this dominant California mark
et.; California is covering : up
good land faster than any other
state. . ".
So -' " - V
There ' will be a market in
California for every additional
acre of good land that can be
brought under irrigation in
Southern Oregon. Let's keep that
fact clearly in mind in our plans
German Reunification
May Be Hindered by
Referendum in Saar
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent r
The Allied bid for the reunifi
cation .of Germany is not likely
to be helped by the result of the

dum. Ger m any's
future 'is the
key issue to be

There is no

to keep Germany divided.
Aside from that, France may
be somewhat lukewarm in its
support of the United States

if it thinks it detects, in the
Saar vote and related develop
ments. a "sort of "Here we go

How Democrats See the Issues
Washington What do the
Democrats think are the major
issues which can be used effec
tively against the Eisenhower
administration and the Republi
can record in Congress?
The Democratic National Com
mittee has its own answers to
this question, but right now it is
in the process of taking a sur
vey of 5,000 party workers
across the country from Gover
nors and;National Committee
men to county and district' lead
ers to find out what they think
are the most exploitable polit
ical issues.
The purposes of the poll are
these:
, It is designed, as National
Chairman Paul M. Butler said
in his letter accompanying the
confidential questionnaires, . "to
play a vital role in shaping our
strategy in the months ahead."
It is designed to provide the
substance and the feeling of par
ticipation in policy-m a k i n g
throughout the party and to be
gin to limber up the machinery
for the Presidential campaign.
It is designed to be a guide
to the Democratic leadership in
the upcoming session of Con
gress and to provide useful mi
terial for all of the Democratic
Presidential aspirants.
w m .
rpHE survey was started before
Mr. Eisenhower was stricken,
but the officials of the Demo
cratic National Committee are
convinced that the results will
be even more valuable now that
it is probable that the President
will not run. .
Here are the twenty "leading
issues for 1956" for which the
Democratic National Committee
asked fellow Democrats to select
the ten "most significant" from
the standpoint of public opinion
in their community or to add
others if they wished:
1. Tax favoritism for rich.
2. Falling farm income.
3. Lack of. Presidential lead'
ership.
4. Small business failures.
5. r.O.P. anti-labor policy.
6. Hot-and-cold foreign policy.
7. Misconduct in government
(Talbot, Dixon-Yates, etc.)
8. Cutting armed forces.
9. School crisis.
10. Ike's failure to lead own
P&rty. .
11. Public power giveaways.
12. Growth of monopolies.
13. ' Favoritism for big business.
14. Phony government security
program.
15. Slowdown in air power.
16. Undermining civil service.
17. Ike's vacationing.
18. Human rights.
19. Bankers' highway program.
20. Rising cost of living.
Obviously the phrasing of
these issues is. weighted with
partisan words. The first 'ques
tion could have tieen objectively
asked: "Did the Administration's
tax' reductions benefit the rich
primarily or did they benefit the
whole economy?" Or," to take an
other example, ' it could have
been more fairjy worded to have
asked: "Has the Eisenhower ad
ministration strengthened or
weakened the Civil Service?"
But most politicians in both par
help Adolf Hitler gel into power.
There is also .the fact that
Sepp Dietrich. theformer com
mander of Hitler'sv elite body
guard . the Leibstandarte
Adolf Hitler" was released
from a United .States government-
orison last Saturday.
: Dietrich was one of Hitler's
pioneer strong armed men. He
was sentenced to life imprison
ment in 1946 for the: slaughter
of American prisoners in the
Battle of the Bulge; among other
crimes. s '. (
In France,, they are still sen
tencing German war criminals.
France endured occupation by
German Nationalists in World
War II. It can not be expected
to draw nice distinctions be
tween Nationalists and Nazis.
Adenauer's Health .
Finally, there is the fact that
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is
not making too good a recovery
from his recent attack of pneu
monia. He will be 80 years old
next January 5. ... '
With Germany' rearming.
France and the Western world
generally would have grave
reason to worry if . Adenauer
died or was incapacitated.
Papen's brief emergence from
obscurity was interesting. Hit
ler sent him. to the Saar in 1934
as a hatchet man, to help build
up the 1935 plebiscite vote
which resulted in the Saar's re
turn to Germany after it had
been under League of Nations
administration.
It could be that Papen would
like to get back into politics.
even though he is 77. He has
sounded off a couple of times
about his views. He would like
to see Germany a rearmed comv
try, "neutral" as between East
and West. If that happened, he
or men like him would be able
to betray either side.
By
Roseoe Drummond
ties are frightened by objec
tivity and as the campaign heats
up the voters wiU have to use
their own methods to screen
political claims.
.
A LL the replies to the question-
naire have not yet been com
piled but the consensus which
has thus far developed is that,
as the Democrats read public
opinion, the Republicans ' are
most vulnerable on these issues:
(1) declining farm prices; j(2)
public power plus the 'Dixon
Yates wrangle; (4) labor policy,
generally including - failure to
amend the Taft-Hartley Act. .
The way the Democrats rated
the questions suggests that neith
er the government's security pro-
gram nor civil rights will figure
very strongly in the campaign
and that there will be no major
controversy over any important
aspect of foreign policy.
....
One arrow in the : projected
Democratic strategy will now
probably not be aimed at all. If
Mr. Eisenhower were, to be the
Republican nominee, the Demo
crats felt they had to begin cen
tering their attack directly upon
the President in an effort to cut
down his " above-the-smoke-of-
partisan-battle prestige. ' , '
On the premise that he will
not seek a second term the Dem
ocratic leaders will do what they
feel will be more effective-
turn the attack almost exclu
sively on the Republican party,
leave the President untouched
for the most part, credit him
for the best deeds of the Admin-'
istration and blame everything
else on his subordinates and the
Republicans generally.
The Democratic object will be
to separate the President's pres
tige from the Republican party
and its success, will depend in
part on what the Republican
party does in the coming session
of Congress.

Giveaway Charges
'Pure Polities'
Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) In-.,
terior Secretary Douglas McKay
said today that Democratic
charges that the Eisenhower ad
ministration has been giving
away national resources are
'pure politics.
McKay made a detailed de
fense of the administration's con
servation policies in a speech
prepared for a Republican Club
lunch here.
"Perhaps you have heard the
claims by some people that our
conservation and parks programs
have been going to pieces, that
we ve been giving away things
with both hands," he said. "Such
charges are pure politics. There
is nothing to them."
Accused Giveaway King
The Democratic Digest, pub
lished by the Democratic Nation
al Committee, accused McKay in
this month s issue of being the
administration's "giveaway"
king.
McKay conceded that the In
terior Department "has disposed
ol, and not given away, seven
small wildlife refuges which to
taled 6226 acres." He said thT
refuges had declined so much
"we just could no longer justify
the cost of administration."
But he said the Migratory Bird
Commission, of which he is
chairman, has approved the pur
chase of 30,189 acres in wildlife
refuges at a cost of $645,000. He
said the administration has add
ed eight wildlife refuges and ac
