Pure Speculation
The untimely death of Gov! Paul Patterson last
week has made the 1956 election race in Oregon the
most "wide open" on in the memory of most political
observers.
Not only has it revised all estimates of the sen
atorial election, but it has created the necessity for
another major contest, that for governor.
HTWO men who have already announced their can
didacy for lesser offices were known to have been
eyeing the senate race against Sen. Wayne Morse
until it became obvious" Governor Patterson would
decide to run. . - .
. These are ' State Sen. John Merrifield, Portland
insurance man who said recently he would seek re
election, and State Sen. Mark Hatfield, personable
young college professor, an announced candidate for
secretary of state. It is entirely possible either or both
could withdraw from these races and go after the
"big one." State Rep. Elmer Deetz, Canby dairyman,
is already in. the contest, although few take his can
didacy seriously.
.
OTHER than these logical possibilities, there are
Congressman Walter Norblad, of the First Con
gressional district, who long has thought it would be
nice to be a senator; Dorothy McCullough Lee, for
mer Portland mayor now a member of the federal
prison board; former State Sen. William Walsh, Coos
Bay; Eugene Marsh,. McMinnville attorney who has
served in both the state house and senate as speaker
and president, and others.
Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay has
stated repeatedly he will not again run for public of
fice, and plans to retire to his home in Salem at the
end of this year., But because of his stature, he will
undoubtedly be under heavy pressure- to run against
Morse, for whom he has a cordial dislike. Some GOP
politicos believe he is the only Oregonian who would
have a chance against Morse.
Senator Morse, of course, is virtually conceded the
Democratic nomination. '
AS FOR the governorship, a race no one had antici
noforl (lrT TTlmn Smith nvnViJlVilv rifles fl.n aHvan-

tage if he wishes to run for election to succeed him
self. Earl Newbry, secretary of state, cannot constitu
tionally succeed himself in that office, and may
again try for governor. He was defeated by. Patter
son in. the primary election two. years ago. One. or
more of the Republican potential aspirants for the
senate could decide to be a candidate for the GOP
nomination for governor. Tom Lawson McCall, Port
land radio man and defeated congressional candi
date, is another possibility. ,
The Democratic side of the picture is less clear,
since the senate race is . a
. it
trie vacancy m tne governorship was not expecteu.
Some possibilities include Monroe Sweetland, state
senator, national committeeman, and announced can
didate for secretary of state; Howard Morgan, former
representative and now state party chairman; Robert
Holmes, state senator ana Astoria raaioman; josepn
Carson, who was defeated in 1951 by Patterson, , and
possibly Lew Wallace, perennial office-seeker and
former legislator, who has indicated he plans to run
for some office but has not yet announced what one.
THERE are a few other possibilities, including for
mer State Sen. Phil Hitchcock, who once toyed
with the idea of running for the U.S. senate; William
Healy, announced candidate for secretary of state,
who is thought to be ultimately ambitious for even
higher office; former State Treasurer Walter Pear
son, and Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton, who,
although an announced candidate to succeed himself,
may now decide to run for a higher post. The first
two are Republicans; the latter two, Democrats.
There is one other strong "dark horse'-7 possibility
in the Democratic party Terry Sphrunk, now sheriff
of Multnomah county. Personable and well thought
of, he was at first believed to be planning to run for
secretary of state until Sweetland announced for the
office. Since, he has been discussed as a possible can
didate for mayor of Portland. But he, too, could now
easily decide to seek statewide office. - ' . - ;

"THE LINES will be drawn by the filing deadline
March 9, but in the meantime, there will be much
talk and jockeying for position m both parties.
Combine all this with the races for attorney gen
eral, state treasurer and four congressional seats, as
well as the unpredictable Presidential election, and
we can foresee a full and interesting -campaign year
in Oregon. E.A. ,
Police
Should police cars be readily identifiable? Or
should they be plain and unrecognizable as such?
According to the Oregon State Motor Association,
about 90.5 per cent of Oregon drivers think they
should be clearly marked.
The OSMA said the most frequent remark from
those queried. was: "If I am being stopped, I am en
titled to know that it is by authority of the law."
-
"11713 ARE inclined to . agree with this majority
" with reservations. .
There are occasions in police work, particularly
in criminal investigations, where the use of a marked
car could easily make a successful job impossible.
(; Those opposing marking police cars said drivers
are more likely to obey traffic laws if they don't know
wjiether the next' car might contain an officer.
In actual practice, most police departments these
days use both kinds of cars, the marked ones for traf
fic enforcement and routine patrol work, unmarked
cars for detective investigation. It seems to work out

Crisis in French North
Declared Entering New
; By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
France's chronic crisis in
North Africa has entered a new
phase. Socialist Premier Guy
WWmn$?3 Mollet, con-
j3 firmed by the
n a t i onal As
sembly only
last. Wednes
day, is flying to
Algeria to look
at things there.
Habib Bour
guiba, nation
alist leader in
Charles McCamr . runisia, reacn
ed agreement in principle with
Mollet in Paris Friday on a pro
gram of home rule in that pro
tectorate. Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben
Youssef is going to Paris Feb.
14 to negotiate with Mollet on
Morocco.
Mollet and his coalition Cab
inet have given French North
Africa No. 1 priority on the long
list of their problems. Algeria
comes first in importance among
the three North African units.
It is evident that, in an at
tempt to keep North Africa from
going the way of Indochina, Mol
let is prepared to make big con
cessions to burning nationalist
spirit.
Desperate Situation
It is an almost desperate situ
ation. Unless France can .' hold
North Africa, its empire now
more politely called the French
Union will be virtually Wreck
ed. And France's status as a
great world power will be en
dangered. Whether Mollet and his shaky
government can retrieve he
situation nobody knows.
For one thing, the more con

About Mexico
. To the Editor: This is a letter
of comment ; concerning .-. an
article which appeared in the
Medford Mail Tribune, Sunday,
Jan. 29. The article dealt with
a recent motor tour of Mexico
made by Mr. and Mrs. R. W.
Gregg of Central Point, and pur
ported, I assume, to enlighten
your readers as to travel, liv
ing and general conditions to be
found south of the border. If
such an enlightenment was the
purpose, the article failed. As
a recent returnee from Mexico
myself I feel it my duty to cor
rect many of the misstatements
made.
Mr. Gregg leads off by stating
that the Mexican side of the
Nogales, Ariz., border fence is,
in effect, a "black hole of Cal
cutta." He says that a foul
stench permeates the area, filth
runs rampant in the gutters, nak
ed children parade the streets,
and further south in the coun
try, countless half-starved ani
mals roam the highways. This
is not merely an indictment of
this area alone but, after read
ing the article, one gets the im
pression that such conditions
must exist elsewhere through
out the entire country. They
do not exist in Sonora nor do
they exist elsewhere in Mexico'.
Referring to the western section
Of the country in particular, Mr.
Gregg, described pollution, but
it is, in fact, a series, of pictur
esque, peaceful villages, made
fragrant by a combination des
ert-sea breeze with a cool, clean
waft that one never forgets.
For -some 23 years I have been
an active participant in further
ing the welfare of all animals
Nowhere could one find a hap
pier group of beasts than those
living in Mexico. I state this
categorically, . without any res
ervation whatsoever, and I might
add, from personal experience
and inspection. They eat as well
as possible under, in some in
stances, adverse conditions, and
often the animals eat when the
peon-owner does not. .In thous
ands of cases, the peon is entire,
ly dependent on his animalf and
the treatment they . receive is
necessarily .. excellent. This, in
many instances, goes as far as
feeding and bedding the beast
in the house. I conclude this par
agraph not only by refuting the
half-starved, "beat-up," descrip
tion, but with a well deserved
pat on the back for the average
Mexicano in his treatment of an
imals. I might add that my ob
servations on this subject were
concluded after a much broad
er, longer and more extensive
view of Mexico and its condi
tions than that experienced by
Mr. and Mrs. Gregg. I do agree
on one point. It is always good
to get back to the best Republic
of them all and, in particular,
the beautiful Rogue River val
ley. I do not however have much
patience with those who are
prone to criticize - a country
which, unfortunately, is not as
fortunate as our own.

ir '
Algeria, Tunis and Morocco, the
more they are likely to want.
For another, the North Afri
can leaders, with whom Mollet
will do business are opposed
themselves by nationalist ex
tremists who are still waging a
war of violence.
There also is a third 'factor.
The French colonists in North
Africa are fiercely and some
times, violently opposed to any
real concessions to the nation
alists. These colonials have powr
erful support in the French
Parliament.

The Fakir's Trick
To the Editor: How many old
timers recollect the strange dark
fakir who pretended ' to be an
"Indian herb medicine ? man,"
dressed in fringed buckskin coat
and pants? He usually had an
accomplice driving two broncs
to a spring wagon or buckboard.
He began his spiel on a promi
nent street corner by demon
strating his stock in trade, that
would heal anyone from cradle
to grave.
Then he'd start asking - for
someone to give him a dollar
to see what he did with it. After
praising the first patron's gener
osity who was 'curious to take
a chance and plunk down a
buck in a hat, the fakir dug
down and gave another - dollar
making two in return, afterward
asking for more dollars. The
crowd shelled out. Around 21
silver doUars was the limit. Get
ting restless, the "medicine man"
asked the public if they gave
him the cash with a free -wUl
offering to see what he would
do with it, no one dissented, so
the long haired fakir spoke up
and said he would put the cash
down the pockets of his leather
britches, thanked the crowd for
their generosity, ordered " his
hostler to hook up the loose
traces, and away he sped, wav
ing a salute to a disillusioned
crowd of spectators.,

weeks after the Communist seiz

Dr. Heidrich "was quite aston
ishingly frank, warning the re
porter that the Soviet appetite
would by no means be 'satis
fied with Czechoslovakia. Then,
towards the end, he turned the
interview around. Would there
soon be war between the Soviet
Union and the United States?
The" reporter replied that he
thought not a long period of
armed tension seemed more
likely. -
-..
"rriHEN,"' said Dr. Heidrich,
"there is nothing left. I
must escape." . . .
Escape he did. He now lives.
with his wife (who escaped also)
m a small house in the Washing
ton suburbs, where he leads the
strange dusty life of a political
refugee. Perhaps- once or twice
a year, Dr. Heidrich and. the re
porter who interviewed him in
the Czernin Palace meet again,
to chat about the world. It is
always a rewarding experience.
since Dr. Heidrich has a remark
able insight into the world situa
tion. But it is also, somehow,
ratner sad. -
Dr. Heidrich, a chunky, stout
man witu an odd resemblance
to the late W. C. Fields, tends
to judge the present by the past,
lie otten reverts to the time
when he went to Moscow with
the Czech delegation which was
brusquely warned by . Stalin
against joining the MarshaU
Plan. As secretary of the dele
gation, Dr. Heidrich took notes
of the conversation in the Krem
lin. He recalls how, in a mo
ment of expansiveness. after de
livering his ultimatum, Stalin
told the cowed Czechs a good
deal about his plans -for the
world. .
"AUR first task," Stalin said
to the Czechs, "is to tear
down the power positions of the
United States both in Europe
ana Asia. Once this is done, Eng
land and France will be . too
weak to resist the pressure."
Dr. Heidrich is convinced that
the Spyiets have never wavered
an inch from their purpose of
dominating all Europe and! Asia,
however much their methods
may have changed. He sees last
summer's summit conference at
Geneva as just another means
to the same end.
"Geneva a catastrophe, a
disaster," he says, with a sharp,
chopping gesture of both arms.
"Every year they gain some
thing, but now is much worse.
Before you had something.
They feared your bombs. But
now nothing. They know
since Geneva you will not use
your bombs. They have nothing
to fear." ;
He pauses a moment, placing
his fingers together in a judicial
gesture.

HOW about the - "liberation" .
policy, for winning the cold
war, about which so much was
heard in 1952? Dr. Heidrich
smiles thinly, and picks his
words carefully. "Mr. Dulles

advantageous. I am very pessi

quickly, the President's Christ-,

the beginning of an unofficial
court policy supporting intensi
fied police efforts to cut traffic
accidents by prompt and effec
tive enforcement. -
The drive to rid the streets of
potential killers got under way
without fanfare. It had been the
general policy to impose a mod
est fine and issue a warning to
first, offenders, after conviction
for drunken driving. But court
and police officers determined
that fines and warnings were
not producing results. Jail terms,
first only of a few days, are ex
pected to cut down drunken driT
ing. If not, then heavier terms
are in store for the offenders.
The experiment will be watched
closely, by police and , courts
charged with cutting traffic fa
talities everywhere. Corvallis

Comet Due In. 1980
GEO. N. TAYLOR '
Haley's Comet swept thru the
sky in 1910 and is next due in
1980. It returns every 70 years.
Comets and all , !
things were
made by Christ.
See the Bible at
John 1:3. Laying
aside His Glory,
' "Hi-
Christ came
down from
heaven to dweU ,
with us as the
Carpenter of
Nazareth. On a
day they bring
Him an ox with
a sore shoulder. He made a new
yoke that let the ox pun. Later
He told the throng "My yoke
is easy my burden is light." Is
worry your burden? Turn it
over to Christ. When you took
Him as your Lord and Savoiur,
God gave you eternal life. But
you "are yet a babe in Christ.
You yet carry into the new life
its cares, worry, profanity, hate,
lies, jealousy or sins unspeak
able. Now cast your sinful ways
on Christ and grow up.
