MAIL TRIBUNE The Ellsvoorth Survey Congressman Ellsworth recently made a survey of his district to determine the views of his constituents regarding his policies and those , of the Republican party the two terms are synonymous, of course. (If Mr. Ellsworth has ever voted against his party on an important issue we have no record of same.) The results we are informed are highly significant and satisfactory. According to the Roseb'urg News Review (the Congressman's spokesman in his home town) the "referendum showed these gratifying results' to wit: 1. The voters of the Fourth district are over whelmingly conservative and Republican, joining the rest of the country in fact the world accqrding to the News Review against socialism. 2. They .are overwhelmingly for higher postal rates over 3 to one in fact. 3. They are against more federal -housing at the same emphatic ratio, 4. They are against any "pay-as-you-go" road program and in favor of the administration's bonding proposal nearly 8 to 1 in short, practically unanimous. 5. Less competition by the government with pri vate business was favored by 77, and the balancing of the budget before tax reductions by 80. Increasing Government aid for school and educa tion, received more support but the Ellsworth ele ment won on this issue also 53 to 40 ; increased social security payments just squeaked by 48 to 44 ; federal health assistance was disapproved 54 to 33, and Sec retary Benson's flexible price supports were favored over any. program of fixed price supports 39 to 6. Farmers in . general throughout the district voted against any subsidies to farmers from the government in favor of permitting farm prices in the open market to seek their own level. As to Hells Canyon and gov ernment development of water resources and power, the people of this district according to this poll, only could muster 17 in favor, while the Ellsworth pro gram of a partnership deal got approximately 60. ... TO an impartial observer the only fly in the amber from an administration standpoint would seem to be the small number of answers from his constituents received by Congressman Ellsworth. Out of 12,000 voters queried only 1200 sent in answers which repre sents only 10) of the poll per cent of. the number of But the Roseburg Review has an answer to this which it appears to regard In fact it claims this 10 indeed half as much would al," and the result as a whole can be interpreted, the Review concludes as showing an unusual interest in government activities. Even more UNUSUAL cally every issue favored representative in the Lower thusiastically endorsed. . A batting average ot bUU could be considered exceptionally good but here is . a batting average of approximately 999 for our dis tinguished congressman. I JNDER the .circumstances why should Mr. Ells- worth spend the time an d, money to conduct a campaign m 195b : His election assuming his figures and conclu sions are. correct must be in the bag -without it. - . . R.W.R. All Is Not We suggest that Congressman Ellsworth who is a gifted performer on the typewriter, take a few days off and compose a skit entitled "The Sarena Case or Within the Law." It might prove useful in next year's campaign. Every week or so this department receives a re port from' Mr. Ellsworth's office, or from one of his Oregon aides, that there was nothing illegal about the Al Sarena case, there was nothing improper, that the facts have been distorted and blown up for politi cal purposes only, thus doing a great injustice to the mine owners, who made their money not by mining but by cutting timber on their mining claim, the profit placed anywhere between $100,000 and $500,000 de pending upon which party in the controversy made the appraisal. W1 'E HAVE read a good case, have listened don't know precisely what it all adds 5 up to as yet. We do take exception, however, to the pious claim there was nothing IMPROPER about the deal. For if everything was on the up-and-up as far as the mine owners operating as timber producers and salesmen were concerned, WHY did Congressman Ellsworth hasten to rush a bill through the congress, which according to his own statement makes what the aforesaid mine-owners did hereafter illegal? That hardly adds up to a clean bill-of -health mor ally if it does from a purely legal standpoint. If there was nothing improper in the transaction in the past then why go to the trouble of legislating against it for the future? MANY years ago a play was a considerable success on Broadway entitled "Within the Law." It dealt with the type of highly respectable criminal who "get, away with murder" thanks to an expert legal staff who directed the operations which came close to breaking the law,, but technically never quite did so. Before he writes his Al Sarena skit if he does Mr. Ellsworth might with considerable interest and profit, read the play and note its moral, R.W.R.

Khowland is pleading with the President that he should decide whether to run again some time before Feb. 15. That is -the filing date for the Pres idential preference pri . maries in five states and in ,Alska. On its face, this looks sim ple enough. Walter Llppman Sen. Knowland can argue with much plausibility that by wait ing say three weeks longer the President's doctors wiU be only somewhat surer, not conclusive ly, of their prognosis. There is no scientific deadline at the end of February when the question of whether the President is able to run again can be answered definitively. VIHAT the President must ' ' sooner or later decide is much more complicated than whether to say yes or no. There are, it would seem, three not merely two choices. One. He can decide to run again. Two. He can refuse to run again and. abstain from choosing his suc cessor. Three. He can choose his successor. Now what Sen. Knowland is asking of the President is not merely that he should decide whether he himself will run; the Senator is asking the Presi dent, if he decides not to run again, to refrain from choosing his successor. Such a complete retirement of the President from the Presidential campaign would certainly be a great help to Sen. Knowland who is in fact leader and rallying point of the anti Eisenhower wing of the Repub lican party. But this is so obvious that at Gettysburg and in the White House the effect of Sen. Know land's plea can only be to make it evident that, if Eisenhower does not run himself, he must be sure to choose his successor. The one thing he will certainly decide not to do is to turn over the future to his own political opponents. . TTN AVOIDABLY, the decisions which the President will have to make are complicated and trying, and this in itself would be a good reason for post poning them, for not asking him to make them until he has re covered more of his strength. We know now from the doc tors themselves that they will not be able to decide for him whether he should run. They may be able to tell him that he' can run. But whether he should run will have to be his decision, and in reaching that decision conflicting pleas will press upon him from many sides. He will be' told that the fate of the world and the fate of his kind of Republicanism de pend on him alone, and that like a good soldier he should do his duty at the risk of his life. He will also be told that it is the duty of a commander to relieve officers who are not fully fit, and that he has no right to subject the country to the risk of his becoming incapacitated. He will be told that his party needs him desperately. And he will be told that it would not be fair for him to take the chance of elevating to the Presi dency a Vice-President who could not be elected to it. TF HE decides not to run again but to choose his successor, there is no self-evident choice. What he needs is someone who stands for what he stands ' for and has a good chance of being elected. The man who fills the bill perfectly is, of course, for mer Governor Warren, of Cali fornia. But he is now the Chief Justice of the United States and that, as he has said in absolute ly unequivocal language, is a conclusive reason why he must not be drawn into partisan poli tics. It may be said, too, that while this rule applies to any Chief Justice, it applies particu larly to the Chief Justice who presided over the momentous desegregation decision. For him to go into partisan politics would be a Constitutional catastrophe. There is no one else who fills the bill obviously and clearly. The question will be if the President decides not to run himself who can be built up so that he can fill the bill. In principle it comes down, so it seems to me, to this. Shall an authentic Eisenhower Republi can be chosen and then built up? Or shall some one who is already built up be made to look like an Eisenhower Re publican? i IS IT not better to choose a man who is already an authentic Eisenhower Republican? For it is easy enough for the President to make a less known man well known. But if the root of the matter is not in the man he chooses, if he is not an authentic repre sentative but is only an oppor Tomorrow Lippmann tunist, to choose him would be to risk not only the election itself but the control of the party and the future of Eisenhower's kind of Republicanism.

Matter of Fact by job and stew.. aiSoP THE HAT TRICK Washington The real story of next year's budget is very different indeed from the story suggested by the recent barrage of headlines about defense increases, for eign aid in creases and like. . It is first of all the story of a hat trick that did not quite work. The authors of the hat trick were Secretary Stewart Alop of the Treasury George M. Hum phrey and Budget Director Row land Hughes. Both Hughes and Humphrey are long-headed men. With some help from the Con gressional economizers, they pre pared their crop no less than 12 months ago. The preparations were simple indeed. Extensive one-shot econ omies were made in the last de fense budget, and these "sav ings" kept the defense spend ing level down to $34,500, 000,000. In the same fashion, both the mili tary and econ-, omic aid pro grams were largely financ ed by running Joseph Also down unexpended balances, and these "savings" kept last year's foreign aid appropriations down to $2,700,000,000. Thus the hat trick was nrepared. The trick consisted of a simple policy di rective to hold the defense and foreign aid items in this year's budget down to the level of last year's appropriations. LAST year's "savings" could not be repeated. Hence last year's appropriations level could not be attained without making "savings" somewhere else. Thus the real effect of the Humphrey- Hughes directive was to require a sharp permanent cut in Ameri can fighting' power and an even more drastic permanent reduc tion in foreign aid. Moreover -and here was the real beauty of it this weaken ing of our defenses and slacken ing of our cold war effort would hardly be noticeable. The Con gress would be asked to vote the same sums as were voted last year. The country could there fore be told that we were car rying on as before. There is every reason to be lieve that the Humphrey-Hughes hat trick would have worked to perfection, if the Kremlin had Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address ol the writer although under certain circum stances the use ot a pen name or initial for publication is permis lible.

I can be prepared in a couple of months or sooner and then can be relied on as a steady worker for a long time. I would appreciate hearing from business men or firms, firms. Mrs. Edna McCaU Thanks for Aid To the Editor: Steelhead Post No. 6881, Veterans of Foreign Wars, thanks the many people of the area for their assistance in time, labor and money during the -flood7 disaster in the Shady Cove-Trail area. We, together with other organ izations, are proud of the role we were able to assume in the protection and safeguarding of lives and property.

But the Soviet intrusion into the Middle East spread the deepest alarm through all the staff levels of the Administration. And it also mobilized the group of higher policy-makers led by Vice President Nixon and Nelson A. Rockefeller, who came to be called "the young Turks." WHILE Messrs. Humphrey and Hughes were indirectly de manding the weakening of our defenses and the slackening of our cold war effort, Nixon and Rockefeller passionately advo cated exactly the opposite policy. They warned that the whole world balance of power was rapidly tilting in favor of the Soviets. They asked, with natural anxiety, how any American administration could permit this to happen. They urged a "bold new program" to reverse the trend. In the ensuing struggle, a great deal more bad feeling was generated than has yet been ad mitted in public. The intra-Ad- ministration struggle reached its climax in the all-day meeting of the National Security Coun cil at Camp David. The out come, as so often in this Admin istration, was a compromise be tween the two conflicting view points. Our defenses were not to be weakened. Thus the requested defense appropriation had to be raised to $35,500,000. The cold war effort was not to be slack ened either. Thus large sums had to be asked to build up the de pleted foreign aid balances, so that spending could continue at the old rate. In short, the real meaning of all the recent com motion about increases in these budget items is simply that we really are carrying on as before, instead of just pre tending to. BUT there is another meaning too, in this decision taken at the Camp David N.S.C. meeting which was the real cause of the President's temporary fatigue. The recent extension and in tensification of the Kremlin's cold war .offensive constitute one great challenge. The massive recent progress of the Kremlin's armament programs constitutes another great challenge. These challenges almost certainly mean that the world power bal ance is now moving in the So viet's favor, just as Messrs. Nix on and Rockefeller maintained. Yet the decision at Camp David was to ignore these challenges, and to let the world power bal ance tilt against us. 1 This is a national choice of the most far-reaching importance. It has been carefully shrouded, as the custom now is, from the vul gar gaze of the American pub lic. Yet events will tear aside the veil sooner or later, when the Joint Chiefs of Staff have to tell the Congress the seal state of our defenses, or when some development abroad causes more searching inquiries than are now being made.
