Foolish Partisanship
Some of the Republican papers in Oregon who
"like Ike" find it hard to DlSlike Adlai.
.The Salem Capital Journal is one of them. Why
try?
In a recent editorial in fact this staunchly conserv
ative Republican paper started out with what sound
ed like genuine praise for the leading Democratic
candidate.
We quote:
"We've found ourselves thinking better of Adlai
Stevenson of late. Why? Well the comparison was with
opponents like Averell Harriman, Estes Kefauver and
Harry Truman."
IN OTHER WORDS, of the three leading Democra-
tic aspirants, the Journal preferred Mr. Stevenson,
declared him to be an "intelligent man," which in the
Union League and Arlington clubs would add up to
something akin to political treason.
DUT THE SPIRIT of the compassionate conf ession-
al did not last long.
The editor, perhaps shocked as he read over this
example of GOP deviation proceeded to blame it on
the fact that "distance lends enchantment" and that
a resurvey of the former Illinois Governor as he ad
dressed the Democrats in Portland at closer range led
to disenchantment and the following indictment,
comprising the rest of the editorial.
No. 1: Mr. Stevenson in this Portland speech had
the temerity to support Senator Morse for re-election.
What did the Salem paper expect? Did it expect
the leading candidate of the -Democratic party to
mark his entry into the home state of one of the lead
ing senatorial candidates of his party, by opposing: his
reelection? Even "Ike" didn't oppose the reelection
of Jenner in Indiana or McCarthy in Wisconsin when
he was running for office. Why should Adlai pick
on Morse?
MO. 2: The Democratic candidate came out for
' ' 90 per cent parity farm prices. Well, so did Presi
dent Eisenhower not so very long ago. But unlike a
certain group of Republican farm-belt senators Adlai
denied this would be a "cure-all" for the farmer's ills.
He merely said he thought it would help. Isn't he en
titled to his opinion? it is shared by many voters in
both parties.
MO. 3: in this citation of Stevenson delinquencies is
the Al Sareria case, which Mr. Stevenson deplor
ed as a policy which, if carried to its logical con
clusion, would impair, if not ruin the long established
policy of national forest control and: conservation.
Did the Journal expect Adlai's support for those who
favor the giving-away of government timber for free,
to anyone who can get a patent to mineral land for a
song? There is nothing in the Stevenson record to
indicate his advocacy of such a procedure.
THEN COMES Hells Canyon.- '
It seems Adlai along with thousands of other
citizens favors federal to private power development
on the Snake river and. in the Columbia -basm in
other words he favors more and cheaper power to less
and more expensive power. What is so wicked about
that? The private power interests oppose it of course,
but even before the Tennessee Valley Administration
development, many perfectly respectable members of
both major parties, favored public power in multiple
river projects, and still do.
Many oppose this view, but it is no crime to hold it.
Even the Republicans now favor public power in
Egypt at United States' expense. -
..-
"THE FINAL "count" concerns mob violence in Ala
bama. It is admitted Mr. Stevenson was and is
against it.- But it is also claimed he didn't WANT to
be. Why then did he? Left wing Democrats, particu
larly the negro groups "have been needling him," so
the Journal concludes he succumbed to this pressure.
Had he resisted, would he haVe favored mob vio
lence? OO W SILLY can we get?
If the "Salem Capital Journal found itself liking
Mr. Stevenson when he was in Los Angeles there was
no reason for DISliking him in Portland. The implica
tion that in traveling a thousand miles nearer Salem
Adlai had changed either his views of his" character
is the most childish nonsense. . ; .
In fact, this sort of blind partisanship is also non
sense. The plain truth is the leaders of the two major
parties are botrugood men, and likeable ones. If they
were not in active politics and happened to go on a
duck hunting expedition together they, would prob
ably agree on practically all political issues concern
ing this country and the world, if and when such is
sues were discussed. There would be only one excep
tion they would NOT agree on the part Big Business
should play in a democracy, and its relation to the
public welfare in general but that topic might never
come up! R.W R.

Khrushchev Different Type of
Man Than Stalin, Writer Says
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Nikita S. Khrushchev seems
to be going out of his way to dis
courage talk that he wants to be
a new Josef
Stalin. .
He put great
emphasis, in
his speech to
the Commu
nist Party Con
gress in Mos
cow Tuesday,
on the official
line that So-
Charles McCann Viet KUSSia IS
now under collective leadership.
Some .experts have become
convinced that Khrushchev has
dictatorial ambitions, and that
he is not far from his goal.
Others insists that leadership
really is collective, and lies in

Camouflage
To the Editor: Winter's open
ing recalls one in Manchuria.
Writer then was exploring near
the Siberian border. He was sur
prised at the southbound tiger
pelts trade. His experience with
these magnificent cats, while
alive, had been in the torrid
Java, also Hindustan- jungles.
These great striped beasts, how
ever, are equally at home in Si
berian shows. .""
The striping of their pelts fas
cinates a student of camouflage.
It parallels that .of- the zebra.
Biologists continually marvel at
ever-new ; discoveries of Mother
Nature's devices for SURVIVAL.
One is above camouflage. One
American nature-student, pas
sionately idealistic, felt the urge
to use Nature-lore to save sol
diers'' lives. Based on the mathe
matics of concealing coloration,
he invented - Uniforms' camou
flage ... Into, its very, name is
crystallized the tragedy of his
months of disappointment. He
tried to interest U.S.A., then
Britain. Both unfavorable deci
sions were made by BIOLOGIC
ALLY ILLITERATE high offic
ials. Thoroughly disheartened,
he took his data to France. The
quick Gallic imagination saw
that it was worth whole divisions
to their decimated army. THAT
IS WHY OUR WORD IS
FRENCH, NOT ENGLISH. It is
ah example of the cost of BIO
LOGICAL ILLITERACY. ' re
public opinion is a force, even
in South Java sultanates. Hence,
to impress his illiterate subjects
with his power, a Sultan would
have a corps of tiger trappers.
Once, when writer was at . the
court of one such Sultan, he saw
a caged tiger caught only three
hours before. It was an impres
sive example of feline strength.

Sees Injustice ' . ;
To the Editor: We would like
to ask . the Saturday-evening
radio ' wisdom dispenser if he
knows the meaning of "All men
are created equal with God given
inalienable rights"? The very
foundation of our constitution.
Does he consider Sir Robin Hood
a robber, or merely a New Dealer
trying to discourage Big Busi
ness, and help out the little fel
low? If the recipients voted for
it would that make it legal? .
If my income is three times
yours, and I pay three times as
much taxes, is that not full jus
tice? If more is taken, whether
by gun or unjust tax, are they
equal, robbery? In case of war,
and justice is blind of course,
then you should pay according
to what you have to, defend. Has
the government any right to
take my money and give it to
another, or use my tax money
to build up unfair competition to
my business with a cheaper
power rate, because of not pay
ing taxes? Or use tax money
from one state to build up a
cheaper power fate in another
state that robs them of industry
and population, as TVA did .to
some eastern states? Is not fair
competition our safeguard for
monopoly, and equal opportun
ity the foundation of justice? '
Now read over the new deal
tax rates, and class legislation
laws. To be just there should be
only one tax rate and no special
privilege laws. Why should join
ing a labor union exempt one
from the criminal laws which ap
ply to the rest of us, any more
than joining a church? Conspir
acy, coercion and monopoly
when uniform justice leaves a
government, - it is doomed. Un
controlled power is the greatest
danger on earth. That applies to
our greatest blessings, fire and
water, also to labor unions. Their
consolidated power means no
good.
No business man, editor or pol
itician would dare say this. I can
because I have, nothing to lose.
Life would be no loss. All sub
versives are now voting one
ticket, to destroy our greatest
hope, the President. It is their
first plan.

Has Great Power
Certainly Khrushchev Is in a
position of great power. He is the
First Secretary of the Communist-Party.
In that capacity he
controls the party machinery. It
was as Secretary General of the
party the same thing that
Stalin made himself supreme.
But there is a lot of difference
between the atmosphere in Mos
cow now and that which existed
for so many years when Stalin
ruled. -'."" ' '
Stalin was a man of unbridled
ambition. He trampled his way
to the front over the bodies of
men who had been his friends
and colleagues. He trusted no
body. Bitterly vindictive, he
never forgave a real or a fancied
wrong. No Russian leader, how
ever loyal, could feel safe as long
as Stalin was the one-man Rus
sian authority.

"HE COULD STEP IN"
Washington If President
Eisenhower withdraws, Gover
nor Christian A.' Herter of Mass
achusetts, will
become a most
serious candi
date for the
nomina
tion. ' ,
. Herter will
have profes
sional organi-
stewart Aisop zauon ana im
portant political and financial
backing. And most of the Re
publican' professionals believe
that, he will have at the least
a sporting chance of winning
the nomination from such oth
er more obvious candidates as
Vice-President Richard Nixon
and Senator William Knowland.
Indeed, the Herter talk among
Republicans is beginning to be
a meaningful political phenom
enon, rather
like the talk
about Adlai E.
Stevenson
among Demo
crats .in the
very early
days when
Stevenson was
also ' little
known nation
ally.:: Joseph Alsop
There are
several T . reasons
why Herter is being taken more
and more seriously as a possible
substitute candidate. He has
important qualifications, having
served ably in both the domestic
and foreign policy fields. He is
a proven vote-getter. He has, as
on admirer put it, "a sort of
presidential smell.' '
TJE HAS also been an all-out
Eisenhower man from' : the
very first, and finally,, he is the
only presently visible alterna
tive candidate on whom the am
orphous but powerful group of
men who were largely .respon
sible for President Eisenhower's
nomination could agree. (
Vice-President Nixon is not
such a man. If President Eisen
hower withdraws and firmly en
dorses Nixon as his successor
there will be, of course, no real
ly serious opposition to Nixon
from the Eisenhower men. Oth
erwise, there certainly will be. v.
Indeed there is. already con
siderable underground opposi
tion to Nixon for the second
place. This opposition is partly
on personal grounds. It also de
rives partly from the conviction
that Nixon, who has acted as a
sort of political lightning rod
for the Administration, would
be a drag on the ticket.
ALREADY President Eisen
hower has beerl strongly
urged to drop Nixon and replace
him with Herter if the President
runs again. One urger was Cliff
Roberts, banker and golf-playing
friend of - the President's.
Roberts is (or was until a very
recent mild heart attack) a part
time member of the so-called
"Commodore Regency" of Eisen
hower political strategists.
Roberts had a lengthy report
on Herter 's qualifications pre
pared, undoubtedly with the
knowledge of other members of
the regency. On the basis of this
report Roberts tried to persuade
the President that Herter was
better qualified for second place
than Nixon. The President was
non-committal. But fof about a
week, according to those who
should know, he thought about
the matter seriously.
'-" Again according to those who
should know, the idea of replac
ing" Nixon with Herter has been
rather-firmly dismissed although
of course,, it might be revived
again: if the President decides
to run. The idea was dismissed
partly because the President
genuinely admires the Vice-Pres-identj
and partly because, of the
damaging political implications.
But a major argument was also
used effectively by " Nixon's
friends against Herter that fact
that Herter was born in Paris.
-
TTERTER'S Paris birth is, in-
-"-deed, the greatest single ob
stacle to a Herter candidacy.
Since he was registered at the
are wrong, Khrushchev is a
man of another stamp. He seems
to want to be liked. Where Stalin
was secretive, Khrushchev is a
mixer. He seems to enjoy him
self thoroughly in public His
sociability seems to have helped
him a lot on his way up. .
Khrushchev seemed to be
speaking of Stalin when he said
Tuesday:
"The Central Committee of
the Communist Party decisively
opposes the spirit of the person
ality cult, which is alien to Marx
ism and Leninism, which turns
this or that leader into a heroic
miracle performer . i . neither
God nor Czar nor Caesar wiU de
liver us. We will achieve free
dom by our own hands."
But whether Khrushchev is or
is not the dictator type, whether
or not he aspires to sole leader
ship, whether or not he is per
sonally likeable, does not alter
one most important fact. He is
a Communist and hates every
thing the free world stands for.
Stewart Alsop
American consulate, most law
yers agree that Herter is "natur
al born" as the Constitution re
quires. But as long as the mat
ter remains unsettled, a cloud
of doubt will hang over the
Herter candidacy. The doubt
can only be finally dissipated
by the Supreme Court.
fAll sorts of ways of getting
the Supreme Court to make a
ruling well before the Republi
can convention have been con
sidered. The most hopeful prec
edent cited is, oddly enough,
that of the Progressive Party,
which got a Supreme Court rul
ing in. 1948 on Hemy Wallace's
eligibility to go on the Illinois
ballot within three weeks of re
questing the decision.
The fact that the Paris birth
problem is already being consid
ered so carefully, suggests how
serious the Herter candidacy is
or how serious it could be
come, if the President . with
draws. His supporters have been
promised powerful financial and
organizational backing in New
York, Massachusetts, and else
where. Herter has announced
that he will hot run again for
Governor, which removes one
complication. And he has a sig
nificantly full speaking sched
ule the invitation to his forth
coming speech at Washington's
National Press Club bore the
interesting heading"If Ike Steps
Out, He Could Step In."
Even "If Ike steps out," Her
ter has, of course, a long - way
to go. He is little known na
tionally, and Massachusetts is no
longer the convenient jumping
off place for the Presidency 'it
once was. Yet, conditional arid
hedged about with obstacles as
it is, the Herter candidacy is
interesting, just because it is so
hard to think of anyone else on
whom the Eisenhower forces
could agree. .

NOT DESIGNED

The Central Oregoniaris who
are proud of their big, new; shiny
Viber Eight (or some other 1956
model American car) may smile
as they see the little bug-like
foreign cars on the road.
That big eight will go around
some of the foreign cars on a
hill. It will beat them away from
a stop light.
But when the big car owner
counts up the money he has
spent for gasoline at the end of
the month, his smile may dis
appear. For the sad truth is that Amer
ican cars are not designed for

oil company says that the "aver

This company (Mobilgas) spon

year, in which expert drivers
pilot American cars over a rug

21.5 miles per gallon". The win

mileage figure of 27.44.
(Note that this is neariy dou
ble the figure for the average
American automobile. The dif

INTEGRATION IN POLITICS
There is mounting evidence of
grave trouble ahead over inte
gration in the public schools of
the Southern
states. For in
recent weeks
we have come
nearer to the
question which
can divide the
country dan
gerously. Is the
decision of the
Supreme Court
Walter Lippmann to be put into
effect gradually and with the
eventual consent of the leaders
of Southern opinion, or is the
Federal government to be called
upon to enforce integration
against the resistance . of the
South? ' '
This question poses as fateful
a dilemma as any internal Amer
ican question that has arisen for
several generations. It arouses
great human passions which
cannot be reconciled, which carl
only be assuaged and accomo
dated in this generation! They
are passions which boil up
quickly into violence, and they
can be. kept within bounds only
when and only while there is
great wisdom and resolution in
the leaders of the country.
The temptation to play poli
tics with these passions is al
most overpowering. And it is the
approach of . the national eleo
tion, the struggle between the
two parties and also the struggle
within the parties, particularly
within the Democratic party,
which have brought the dilemma
to the surface.
IT IS significant that the closer
a public man is to the presi
dency, the more will he shrink
from the idea of Federal enforce
ment, as distinguished from per
suasion and accomodation. Gov
ernor Stevenson has been nota
bly firm and decisive and the
President, though his words
were a bit cloudy, is certainly
not considering intervention by
the Federal executive power. It
is the politicians, the men who
have little Or , ho prospect of
themselves being in the White
House and bearing the Presi
dent's responsibility, who are
heating up the issue.
There is no likelihood that the
Republicans in Congress will
agree to take the issue out of
politics. For it is a most damag
ing issue to raise among the
Democrats. Nor is there much
likelihood that Governor Steven
son's rivals for the nomination
will forbear to raise it. It is such
an easy way to make things dif
ficult for him.
The issue will have to be de
bated in the open. The funda
mental question to be debated
is' whether integration is to be
promoted by persuasion or by
Federal enforcement. These are
two different roads, and no one
should think he can go down
both of them at once.
CONSIDER, for example, the
Powell Amendment which
Imperial gallon, which contains
five quarts. Comparisons are
made on the basis of a four
quart, or American gallon.)
In the South African test the
winner was an Austin A-30. The
mileage was 41.44.
In England a Triumph TR-2
won the trophy with an average
of 56.8 miles per gallon. -
The Australian test was won
by a Goliath. Average mileage
was 42.7.
A test was run in France, too.
There a Citroen won with a fan
tastic 84.9 miles per gallon.
So, when you count out the
dollars to pay your gasoline bill
at the end of the month, don't
laugh too hard at the pictures
you see of the little foreign cars.
Most likely their owners are
counting out a few pennies in
stead of the dollars you're try?
ing to dig up. Bend (Ore.) Bull

Tomorrow
Lippmann
would withhold Federal aid from
states or school districts that do
not integrate their schools. Let
no one suppose that the Southern
states will give in and accept in
tegrated, schools because some
Federal money is withheld from
them.. To suppose that they will
give in is to mistake the temper
of the South, particularly the .
temper of the Deep South.
What, tnen, are Rep. Joseph
L. Martin and Governor Harri
man going to propose next, once
they find that withholding money .
does not induce the Southern
states to yield? If they start on
the path of coercion, the author
ity of the executive power will
be engaged and new measures
of coercion will be demanded to
uphold that authority. For un
less the Federal government li
going to confess that it is beaten,
it must, keeping the path of Fed
eral enforcement become more
and more coercive.
No one should doubt that the
attempt at Federal enforcement
will intensify and harden the
resistance of the South. Those
who are disposed to try to work
out integration gradually will
resent the Federal government's
efforts to coerce them; The prob
lem of integration will become
progressively more insoluble in
the South, the racial passions
will become increasingly sharp,
the sectional feeling increasingly
disruptive.
Let us stop and think before
we let irresponsible politicians
push us into the whirlpooL
THE way things are developing
is a "reason for asking our
selves whether the decision of
the Supreme Court does not need
to be supplemented. As it stands
now, the question of what consti
tutes a "prompt and reasonable
start towards full compliance" is
left to the judgment of the Fed
eral courts. Now what would be
a prompt and reasonable start,
say, in the District of Columbia
might well be impossibly hasty
in Mississippi. Success in putting
into effect the principle of the
decision requires a program
which must vary with local con
ditions. It is, for example, an
enormous step forward when
universities in the South admit
Negro students. And it would be
the part of wisdom in a state like
Alabama to regard admission to
the university as being for pres
ent purposes "a prompt and rea
sonable start.'',-.. ?,
"' The : question is whether
through some sort of council of
eminent citizens, guiding prin
ciples might be agreed upon
which would give to American
opinion a standard around which
