Big Oil Wins
Whether we like it or don't Big Business is in the
saddle in Washington, D.C. and sitting pretty.
- Were this not true the Natural Gas bill would
never have passed the Senate so smoothly as it did.
Even the always conservative "Uregonian" agrees
that the pressure to pass this measure particularly
from the big oil lobby, was the strongest in modern
lobby history. If further evidence of this truth were
needed, the fact that Senator Lvndon Johnson of
Texas, the Democratic leader couldn't resist it, would
be sufficient proof of its potency. Being from the Big
Oil State of Texas he could hardly hold his jod ana
do otherwise. . -
DECAUSE OF this defection, the Oregonian main-
XJ tains this action will not be called a "give-awajr
in the coming campaign by Democratic orators. Per
haps not. But it is a "give away" nevertheless, not to
Big Oil this time, as in the Tidelands Oil, but to "Big
lias," ana much to me aengnt 01 tne Dig narara
gas producers, natural gas stocks jumped up on Wal
Street as soon as the passage of the bill was flashed.
RUT WHO CARES?
JJ Some Democratic senators did including the
two senators from Oregon, but not only General Mo
tors and General Gas did not, but General Inertia was
on their side also.
The plain truth is at least as we see it the peo
pie of the country aren't greatly concerned about such
matters today. They were not concerned over similar
happenings in the former Republican regime, with
Messrs. Harding, Coolidge and Hoover m the White
House. "
Political tides like tides of the ocean, ebb and
flow, and while the man in the row-boat or on the
beach may not like it, there isn t much he can do
about it, until the tide turns.
THERE ARE SOME observers who are convinced

so.
But we wouldn't advise them to mortgage the
"old homestead" and put their bank accounts and
their freshly laundered shirt on' it, as a sure-fire
gamble. Political tides unlike ocean ones have a way
of sticking around. K.W.K. .
Something New
There is something new. under the sun in Wash
ington, D.C assuming there is any sun there, which
is highly doubtful.
Instead of investigating undue influence charges,
before an important measure is passed they do it
after, and .instead of having one investigation they
put on two somewhat like pleading guilty twice to
the same indictment.
B
UT THAT isn't all that is new.
Senator Case of South Dakota and a Mr. Neff
of Nebraska supply a novelty act that, we believe is
unprecedented in American politics.
Mr. Case declared that because Mr. JNeii con
tributed $2500 to his (Case's) campaign fund he
changed his vote from "yes" to "no" on the Gas bill
and directed the money be returned.
"j Mr. Neff admitted the donation and also that he
is an oil-lobbyist, but stoutly denied there was any
thing improper in such action, that the $2500 in cash
was delivered ok but there were no strings attach
ed" none whatever.
No strings attached ! not even a strip of Scotch
tape;
An amazing statement but. even more amazing
was the fact that Lobbyist Neff gave every indication
that not only does he believe the Big Boys m Wash
ington, but the District Attorney (as far as any crim
inal action is concerned) will believe it (and as this
is written there is no indication they won t) .
EQUALLY strange is the attitude of Mr. Case, Re-
publican of South Dakota. He claims he favored
the oil measure before he got the money but opposed
it after, apparently "entirely oblivious of the dangerous
implication of establishing such a precedent.
For if his example is to be followed hereafter all
a well-heeled lobbyist has to do will be to send a dona
tion without strings" to a senator s campaign fund
who opposed his pet measure, have the donation re
turned, and the negative vote changed to an affirma-

Thornton Lashes al
'Creeping Socialism'
Roseburg (U.R) Former Colo
rado Governor Dan Thornton,
speaking at the annual Douglas
county Republican Lincoln day
dinner here last night, lashed
out at what he called, "creep
ing socialism in the United
States." , .
Thornton, formerly an admin
istrative assistant to President
Eisenhower, said that he is a
firm believer in state's rights,
and added that he favored bring
ing the national government in
only as a last resort in problems
that states could not handle.
Thornton commented that he
had met Oregon's new governor,
Elmo Smith, in Medford earlier
and said : that, although Smith
was new in office, he is no
stranger to governors of the
United States. "He has been im
pressive In highway and state
finance legislation," Thornton
said.
Medford Airport
Allotment Approved
Portland (U.R) The Civil
Aeronautics Administration has
allocated $1,000,000 of federal
aid funds to assist in construc
tion of a proposed new air ter
minal here.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth said the
allotment .had been approved.
Officials - said they expected
to receive . the allocation some
time in April and would with
hold calling for bids until that
time. ; :.. ;
The funds were made avail
able under the federal aid for
airports bill. The port also hopes
to obtain an additional $1,000,
000 allocation for the fiscal year
1956-57.
. Also included in the alloca

Today and Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann ...
THE WASHINGTON MEETING
Meetings at the summit, like
the one in Washington last week,
arouse expectations which it is
almost never
possible to
meet. For
while there
have been
many such
meetings since
the second
World War,
they are still
sufficiently un-
Walter Lippmann USUal, there is
stiU enough fanfare accompany
ing them, to make people sup
pose that great decisions are to
be taken. When no great decis-
ious are announced, the world is
left to speculate as to whether
decisions were taken about
which nothing is being said or
whether there have been dis
agreements about which nothing
is being said.
What actually happened, it
appears, is that the two partners
made some more progress on
some of their common problems
than they had made through
normal diplomatic channels.
But it is a fair question wheth
er meetings at the summit would
not better be limited to the sign'
ing, sealing, and publicizing of
decisions and agreements which
have already been reached by de
tailed and specific negotiations.
Is it really good practice to ne
gotiate confidentially in a pool
of bright publicity, like two men
standing in the ring at Madison
Square Garden whispering in
each other's ears about the fete
of mankind? In going publicly
to the summit when policies are
still in the stage of exploration
and discussion, the heads of gov
ernments expose themselves to
a sense of anti-climax. And then
in the effort to make much of
the little that they can disclose,
they fall back on resounding,
but very tired, generalities.
rPHE theme of the Washington
- meeting was the need, which
is imperative, for common pol
icies in the Far East and in the
Middle East.
There is not much reason to
think that the disagreements in
the Far East have been nar
rowed, much less resolved. Not
only is there no common Anglo-
American policy -about, the off
shore islands, there is also no
known and declared American
policy about the off-shore
islands. ' The Red Chinese and
ourselves are somewhere near a
brink neither of us being quite
clear where the brink is that we
may be on the verge of.
There is more reason to thmk
that some progress was made
towards protecting and stabiliz
ing the Israeli-Arab 'armistice.
If that can be done, if war is
ruled out, it should become pos
sible in the future to enter into
negotiations, give and take, for
a treaty of peace. The British
and the Americans have the
means to enforce peace in that
corner of the world since both
Israel and Egypt are extremely
sensitive to the exercise of the
kind of sea power which -al
ready exists in the Mediterran
ean. Thisi of course, assumes
that the protection of the arm
istice is not to be allowed to be
come subject to a Soviet veto
in the Security Council.
r
rpHE Eisenhower - Eden state
ment, the declaration of
Washington, and the two Bul
ganin letters are addressed to
the same audience. They are ad
dressed to; the peoples of
North Africa and South Asia
who have been, or are , still,
under the rule of the Western
powers. Since Geneva, the" win
ning of these peoples to the
Soviet side, their detachment
from alliances with the West,
has been the main objective of
Soviet foreign policy. The Bul
ganin letters, though they were
sent to President Eisenhower,
are directed wholly to the po
litical leaders and to the intel
lectuals of Asia and Africa. One
can without straining the truth
go further and say that the let
ters which were sent to the
President were meant to be read
primarily by Prime Minister
Nehru. The phraseology of the
letters is that of the Soviet line
in Asia, and every sentence in
the letters is designed not to per
suade the United States, but to
persuade the uncommitted coun
tries of Asia and Africa.
The ' letters are written for
men who are already persuaded
that this country may somehow
blunder over, or let itself be
pushed over, the brink. If Bul
ganin can put on a show in
which the United States "spurns"
or "scoffs at" a treaty of friend
ship, peace and non-aggression,
he will have done quite a day's
work for the Soviet cause. There
is much at stake, and Governor
Stevenson was, it seems to me,
very right indeed on Saturday
when he warned the President
to take great care about how he
replied to Bulganin. For the Bul
ganin letter, though it will per
suade few in this country, is ex
tremely efficient propaganda in
Asia.
.
IS a very ingenious piece of
propaganda inthat the Soviet
governmet stands to gain if, by
any chance, we agree to such a
treaty and they stand to gain
if we reject it out of hand. If
we agree to the treaty, it would
be taken to mean all over the
world that we are entering into
a gigantic deal with Moscow to
divide the world. And if we re
ject it outright and sharply, it
will enhance greatly tne Deiiei,
already far advanced in Asia,
that it is we who are the oppon
ents of neace. ; :
This suggests that the way out
of the dilemma is not to agree
to the treaty and not to .reject
it out of hand but to draw the
Kremlin into a discussion as to
whv. srjecificaUy why, such a
treaty would make any real dif
ference about -. the problem of
normnn unification. ' of arma
ment, of the tension in the For
mosa Strait , and in the Jvuaaie
East. Such a discussion wouldbe
hard work, and frequently exas
perating. But. is it avoiaaoie.'
If Bulganin will not take no for
an answer, and it appears irom
his second letter that he ' will
not, can we afford to. let him

SEATO Maneuvers, Conference
Seen As Test for Organization
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization is about to. undergo
an important test.
The treaty, signed in Manila
Sept. 8, 1954,
allies the
United States
and seven
other coun
tries against
Communist ag
gression. Communist
China, against
whose expan-
Charles McCann Sionist policies
the treaty is aimed, called it a
paper tiger.
So far, unfortunately, it has
been. The United States, Great
Britain and France, the. prin
cipal signatories, have been busy
about issues in other parts of
the world.
But one week from today at
least three of the SEATO coun
tries, the United States, the
Philippines and Thailand, are to
start a combined three-day ex
ercise with land, sea and air
units.
Atomic Weapons
These maneuvers will be held
in the Gulf of Siam, on the coast
of Thailand.
The United States is sending
more than 7,000 men to take
part. The aircraft carrier Prince
ton, two destroyers, a battalion
of Marines, a field artillery bat
talion and a jet fighter bomber
group will be included. Included
also will be two of the Army's
giant Honest John rocket launch
ers. Thesek capable of carrying
atomic warheads, wiU be flown
from Japan.
Then, on Mar. 5, delegates of
the eight SEATO countries will
hold a major conference In Kara
chi, Pakistan. Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles will repre
sent the United States.
Whether any real measures
will be taken to put some teeth
in the SEATO paper-tiger re
mains to be seen.
The ' Philippines, closest ally
of the United States in South
east Asia, has long urged that
SEATO be strengthened by a
joint defense force. It would be
modelled on the North Atlantic
Treaty organization forces in
Europe.
The argument is that even a
small standing defense ' force
would be an important symbol
of Allied determination to re
sist aggression. It is also argued
that such a force would slow up
the trend toward "neutralism"
by some Southeast Arian na
tions. Advance speculation is that
the formation of a SEATO de-"
fense force is a matter for the
indefinite future.
But at least, in the maneuvers
and in the Karachi conference,
some progress may be made to
ward strengthening what is ob
viously a potentiaUy important
treaty.
U.S. Mercy Convoy Struggles To
Victims of Italian Winter
Bahamas Proving Ground
Extension Sought by US
Londan U.R) Minister of
State Anthony Nutting told the
House of Commons that the
United States is negotiating with
Britain for extension of the Ba
hamas long range proving ground
for guided misiles to St. .Lucia
in the Windward Islands and to
Ascension Island in the South
Atlantic. "
Nutting said that "while the
United States is at liberty - to
reactivate any of the British
bases in this area . . . leased to
them in 1941, separate agree
ments are required before long-
range guided missile stations may
be established on any oi tne
islands.
Rome -4U.R A U.S. mercy
convoy of 25 trucks struggled
southward today through raging
snowstorms that heaped new
misery on thousands of Italians
reported in danger of starvation.
The icy blasts of the cold wave
born on the steppes of Siberia
reached across the Mediterra
nean and struck Egypt. Dropping
temperatures and snowstorms
were reported again in Western
Europe. London had a heavy fall.
The Europe-wide death tou in
the worst cold wave "of the cen
tury reached 230. Normally
warm Italy was hard-hit. At least
62 persons were known dead.
Two U.S. airmen were among
the victims. They died in their
sleep from the fumes of a gas
stove left on to heat their rented
room at Aviano near .the U.S.
Air Force radar warning base
at Udine Close to the Yugoslav
frontier. Air Force authorities
withheld identification pending
notification of the next of kin.
Storms also were taking their
toU at sea. Eighty fishermen
were missing and feared lost off
the coast of the mid-Atlantic
Portuguese island of Madeira.
Luce Orders Aid
U.S. Ambassador Clare Boothe
Luce ordered emergency move
ment of food and clothing after
conferring by cable with the
State and Defense Departments
in Washington.
A 25-truck mercy convoy,
carrying Army overcoats and
sweaters and food packages left
the U.S. Army Supply Base at
Leghorn for Rome but was
slowed to a crawl by snow on
the 150-mile run down the Ital
ian coastline."
The situation was reported
desperate in hundreds of moun
tain hamlets isolated since Feb.
1 by the worst snowstorms in
living memory.
Transportation was chaotic.
Roads were blocked and trains,
were delayed. Air. traffic was
I halted on Sicily. i
Goyernment To Guarantee Corn
Farmers $1.40 a Bushel in 1956
Washington flj.R) The
government will guarantee com
mercial corn farmers $1.40 "a
bushel 81 per cent Of parity
for their 1956 crop.
This compares with $1.58 or
87 per cent of parity, for the
1956 crop.
The Secretary of 'Agriculture
Ezra T. Benson announced the
1956 minimum support rates for
porn, small grains,;,and oilseeds
yesterday.
He raised the national aver
age support price and the parity
rate for soybeans, flaxseed, and
cottonseed. He retained the 1955
parity rates for oats, barley, rye
and grain sorghums but lower
ed the dollars and cents support
rates for these grains. -
Support rates for all commod
ities were based n their Jan.
15 parity price.- The minimum
support levels wUl not be reduc
ed. However, they may be in-
increased if a combination of the
parity price and supply relation
ships on Oct. 1. indicate a higher
support price. ' ;
Price supports for 1956-crop
oilseeds: '
Soybeans $2.15 a bushel, or
75 per cent of parity. This com
pares with $2.04 a bushel, or 70
per. cent of parity, f 0.1955 jj
Flaxseed $3-09 a bushel, .or
70 per cent of parity. Last year
it was $2.91 a bushel, or 65 per
cent of parity. , . . . -
Cottonseed $48 per ton or
70 per cent of parity, compared
with 146 per ton; or 65 per cent
of parity last year.
Demand Improved
. Benson, said the increased
rates for oilseeds represented
improved supply and demand
conditions.
The parity rate of 70 per cent
for small grains was carried
over from 1955: This rate, based
on the Jan. 15 parity price, re
flects these support rates: Oats
39" cents , a ' bushel, compared
with 61 cents in 1955; barley
93 cents a bushel, compared 'with .
94 cents in 1955; ; rye $1.1& a
bushel, compared with $1.18 in
1955; grain sorghums $1.80 a
hundredweight, compared with
$1.78 in 1955. j?
The 81 per. cent parity rate
for corn was based on the Jan.
15 parity price of $1.73 per bush
el. In turn, this price reflects
the transition to modernized par
ity which is limited by. law to.
not more than a five per. cent
downward adjustment in any
one year. The old parity price.
last year wag $1.82 a bushel.

Editorial Comment
OS WEST'S FORESIGHT
A move is on foot to honor
Oswald West, one-time governor
of Oregon by naming a state
park for him. West was one of
the first Oregonians to build a
summer home at Cannon Beach
and it is in that sector that it is
suggested his name be given to a
park.
The former governor is now
in his 80s, and proponents of the
idea point out that a tribute of
the kind suggested should be
paid while yet he is living. In
such thinking we concur.
West had the foresight, a half
century ago, to propose that Ore
gon keep its ocean beach front
for the public's use and enjoy
ment for all time. Unlike many
less foresighted states, Oregon
retains title to its ocean front by
virtue of its being a public bighr
way. No private title can be
taken in beaches along its -400-mile
exposure to the tides of the
Pacific. What that has meant to
Oregon can scarcely be ap
praised, but the author of the
idea deserves now to know that
his wisdom is appreciated.
