The Independent Vote
Just how commodious and invincible are Ike's
coat-tails? Judging by the comments heard from Re
publican enthusiasts if a yellow-dog happened to
jump on by mistake he would be elected to congress
for sure, and might even make the senate.
Mebbe so.
There is no doubt of the President's great per
sonal popularity, but we are not so sure about equal
popularity of the Republican party. Nor are we cer
tain that here in Oregon at least, all a candidate for
any national office needs is a smile and a nod from
the present occupant of the White House.
A FTER all Oregon's motto is "she flies with her
own wings." Few important elections in the past
have been decided by the rabid partisans on either
side, but by the rank and file, largely composed of
the independent voters who, like Andy Gump, "wears
no man's collar."
However the proof of the pudding is in the eating
and probably the exact potency of the White House
"coat tails" in this election will have to await the
verdict in November.
JVIEANWHILE we think the " Anything to beat
Morse" press might be wise to pay a little less
attention to calling Oregon's senior Senator names
and a little more to his record in the Upper House
covering close to a dozen years.
For that record is what is going to concern the in
dependent voter, the principles Senator Morse has
stood for, the principles he still stands for, and if re
elected he, can be depended upoir to stand and fight
for in the future.
Calling the f ormer dean of the Oregon Law school
a traitor, a. turn-coat, a renegade and an all-around
So-and-So, no doubt gives intense pleasure to the
100 per cent GOP partisans. But that sort of thing
makes no votes or at least thev have the votes of
that group anyway. What

Old Guard will get neither by lambasting Oregon's
highly capable senator hither and yon for deciding
his political beliefs were better represented by the
Democratic rather than the Republican party, and
acting accordingly.
There are many Democrats and thousands of In
dependents who not only
but who in the past have taken similar action for
much the same reasons, themselves.
TN THIS connection it is rather amusing to look
back over the records of some of the most rabid
journalistic critics of Senator Morse, here in Oregon.

mid-stream, come out in the open, display his true
colors, and join the Democratic party, where thev

according to the same newspapers, be put in irons
and shot at sunrise.
It is surely hard to please some people and some
newspapers! Jti.w.K.
Anything To Get Morse

of Mr. Woody Smith of Hood River to have the name
of Wayne Morse stricken from the Democratic pri

Lest there be some

primary.
Just what is a Democrat m good faith r Must
he be one from birth? Perhaps the Circuit Court at
Salem to which the aspiring Mr. Smith has appealed

""THE Corvallis Gazette Times, one of the most per
sistent critics of Oregon's senior Senator, hopes
so. With apparent seriousness it seconds the Hood
River candidate's motion, and seems to feel that Sen

bona fide Republican but merely an opportunist out

That is an old story and

The same personal sacrifice was involved in his op
position to the Southern Manifesto on the school
segregation issue.
But Senator Morse, as usual, fought for what he
believed to be right, even if he had to make the fight

In Ihe Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Government statisticians re
port that although food prices
went down last month the cost
of nearly everything else went
up.
The net result, the report adds,
is that the cost of living remain
ed the same in February as in
January.
ANYWAY, we're holding our
own.
But . '
What's going to happen SOME
DAY if food prices keep on going
down while prices of everything
else keep GOING UP?
"JTfORE economic stuff:
Last year set a new record
in big fires and big fire losses
in the United States and Canada.
The National Fire Protective
lists 316 fires in the BIG FIRES
category in 1955 224 in the
United States and 22 in Canada
with a total property damage
of 268 million dollars.
VlfE'LL all shrug our shoulders,
I suppose, and mutter that
"it was covered by insurance, so
why should anybody worry."
Wait a minute.
All insurance does is to
SPREAD THE LOSS. When
losses are abnormally heavy the
price of insurance has to go up.
So we all help pay the bill.
It works just like taxes. Taxes
are included in the cost of pro
duction, so that the higher taxes
are the higher prices must be.
It's the same way with insurance
costs.
SOMETHING for nothing stuff:
Two Canadian boys started
out yesterday to hitch-hike to
Florida, figuring it would be
a cheap vacation. To avoid bor
der complications, they started
across the Niagara river on the
ice. Cops picked them up and
sent them back home, advising
them to find a less dangerous
route to the sunny south.
"VTORE of the same:
A previously respected busi
ness man back in the state of
Delaware was caught last night
robbing the night deposit box of
a bank. He used a key issued
to him for depositing money
from his own business to open
the top of the box. He then em
ployed a fish hook and a line to
snag deposited money bags and
drag them out.
Cops nailed him in the act,
and when he was arrested he
asked if he could get a pack of
cigarettes from the glove box of
his car and they said he could.
Instead of a pack of cigarettes,
he took out a pistol and shot
himself dead.
TlfORAL:
1T1 The two Canadian kids
would have been better off to
have worked and saved up for
a regular vacation.
The guy who stole from the
bank's night deposit box would
be FAR better off if he . had
worked and EARNED his money
instead of thinking up an unusual
scheme to steal money from oth
er people.
p REACHING?
No, it's just the cold truth.
Honesty IS more profitable
than dishonesty. Working for
what you want IS more profit
able and more rewarding than
trying to get you what you want

It is possible that the White
Sulphur Springs conference may
bring the relations of the United
States, Canada and Mexico into
somewhat closer coordination.
Canada is playing an increas
ingly important part in world af
fairs, especially in the United
Nations. This is due largely to
Lester B. Pearson, secretary of
state for external affairs, who is
at the White Sulphur Springs
conference.
Now approaching his 59th
year, "Mike" Pearson is one of
the most popular foreign minis
ters. He is recognized as a bril
liant diplomat. He has made Can

Presidential Possible
After Minnesota Vote
Washington (CQ) The Min
nesota presidential primary cat
apulted Sen. Stuart Symington
(D.-Mo.) into the Democratic
presidential "possibility" pic
ture, even though Symington
had no direct connection with
the campaigning or balloting
there.
Sen. Estes Kefauver's sound
whipping of Adlai E. Stevenson
in the Minnesota race produced
the boost for the 54 -year -old
Symington.
Tall, handsome, graying Stu
Symington is recognized as an
accomplished administrator. His
political pulling power is open
to discussion. Nevertheless, he
has been thrust, against his will,
he claims, into the picture by
political leaders and friends in
Missouri. The party organiza
tion there, with the notable ex
ception of former President
Harry S. Truman, has laid the
groundwork for presenting Sy
mington to the Democratic Na
tional convention as a "favorite
son" candidate.
Compromise Possible "
With the serious impairment
of Stevenson's chances, talk
among organization leaders has
turned to starting a drive to get
Symington the nomination as a
"compromise" candidate. Kefau
ver still is opposed by the bulk
of the organization. Stevenson's
bandwagon has slowed to a
walk. Gov. Averell Harriman is
drawing the open opposition of
southern Democrats. Thus, the
reasoning goes, that Symington
might find support from all fac
tions needed to get the nomina
tion in 1956.
Symington was a business
executive who entered govern
ment in 1954, charged with dis
posing of surplus war materials.

Don't They Care?
To the Editor: Can it be that
one of every three eligible vot
ters in Jackson county care so
little about government that
they don't even vote? That's the
record thus far, with nearly 13,
000 persons as yet not regis
tered. Surprisingly, some of these
people are simply uninformed,
and thus repetition of pertinent
registration facts bear repeat
ing through press, radio and TV.
One would assume that busi
ness and professional men would
be well aware of qualifications
for voters, yet this incident oc
curred at a recent men's service
club meeting:
A presidential petition was
circulated and many members
affixed their signatures. How
ever, later checking proved
many of these signatures inval
id, as they were not those of reg
istered voters. Further check
showed that among the ones not
registered, some were not
aware that re-registration is nec
essary when one has changed
address, or that one must re-register
if he has not voted in the
past two years. Then there are
others who have moved to Ore
gon from out of state and are
not familiar with our pre-reg-istration
procedure.
So for the uninformed, let us
repeat again, the deadline for
registering to vote in the May
primaries is April ,17th. This
may be done at the courthouse
or with any one of the 37 reg
istrars throughout the county.
And for the procrastinators,
wouldn't it be helpful to print
a daily reminder in the news
paper? How is this: "Only 19
days left to register." (And
so there are, as of March 27).

Pearson is regarded as the likely
political heir to his chief, 74-year-old
Prime Minister St. Lau
rent. St. Laurent did not enter poli
tics until he was 60. He was for

1947, he was made prime minis
ter. Ruiz Cortines became presi
dent of Mexico in 1952. He has
kept his country closely allied
with the democracies. His for
eign minister, Luis Padilla
Nervo, is likewise at White Sul
phur Springs. Padilla Nervo, like
Pearson, has made a name in the
U.N. He is one of the most influ
ential Latin American diplo
mats. Pearson and Padilla Nervo are
holding separate talks at White

John Foster Dulles, discussing
matters of mutual interest. There
is nothing, however, for them
to argue about.
tary of War for Air, moved to
the secretary's office in the inte
grated Defense department and
then took over two trouble
shooting jobs for the Truman
administration: head of the Na
tional Security Resources board
and head of the Reconstruction
Finance corporation.
Back Into Politics
In 1952, he resigned, returned
to Missouri and announced re
tirement from public life. Three
months later he was in the race
for the Democratic senatorial
nomination, opposing Truman
backed J. E. (Buck) Taylor. He
won the primary and general
election, then announced he was
not a candidate for anything
else, preferring to serve out his
six-year term in the Senate."
In the Senate, he voted with
his party 91 per cent of the time
in the 83rd Congress and 88 per
cent during the first session of
the 84th Congress. He was "on
the record" 93 per cent in the
83rd, 98 per cent in the first half
of the 84th. In the 83rd, he sup
ported President Eisenhower on
40 per cent of the roll calls, op
posed him on 45 per cent. In the
first half of the 89th, his support-opposition
was 71-27.
His most vigorous opposition
to the President has come in the
field of defense policy and
spending. He has consistently
contended the administration
was accomplishing economies at
the expense of the defense pro
gram. Symington's position on other
issues are less well-known. On
civil rights and segregation,
Symington's stand is summed up
in the statement that the "Su
preme court has declared the
principle of law." He advocates
gradualism in the "very difficult
problem of adjustment.
Other Votes
In the recent Senate action on
the omnibus farm bill, Syming
ton voted against the flexible
price supports advocated by the
Eisenhower-Benson forces, the
same stand he took in 1954. He
has voted for the Upper Colo
rado river storage project, St.
Lawrence Seaway, and said
"Hells Canyon site should be de
veloped as promptly as possible
for all people."
On the matter of tax cuts,
Symington has taken the posi
tion that "until we have ade
quate defense and improved
government efficiency, I do not
favor any substantial tax reduc
tions." The government efficien
cy he speaks of is characterized
by his contention that a true in
tegration program in the De
fense department could save the
taxpayers $5,000,000,000 "with
out reducing our military
strength. And that would guar
antee balancing the national
budget."

ian Land Fraud
Brings Penalties
Portland U.R) Triple dam
ages of $150,000 against three
Oregon men were assessed by
U.S. District Judge Gus J. Solo
mon here yesterday in an Indian
land fraud case.
The damages were awarded
against Frederic M. Marsh, Leb
anon; Clyde W. Flinn, The
Dalles, and John C. Blanford,
Ontario. The land involved was
a 160 acre parcel known as the
Maggie Summers allotment in
Curry county.
The trio was convicted of a
similar fraud in 1953 and all
served prison terms as a result
of that case.
Beneficiary to the money, if it
is collected, would be a North
Bend Indian woman, Lulu Nich
ols Gnadt Noel,
Judge Solomon set aside the
sale of the timber, valued at
$50,000 and purchased for $11,
000, on the grounds that it was
invalid because it was made be
fore a patent to the property had
been issued.
Matter of Fact Y
Democratic Disarray
Washington The Democratic
party these days is suffering
from more afflictions than Job.
The party is
bitterly divid
ed. Outside
the farm areas
it has failed
to develop
winning issues.
In Adlai Stev
enson it is in
a fair way to
losing the only
Stewart Alsop candidate on
whom the various factions can
agree. And, as if all this weren't
enough, the party is flat broke.
Not even the most sanguine
Democratic partisan on Capitol
Hill claims that this session of
Congress has been a political
success for the Democrats. Some
Republicans, indeed, have al
ready begun to borrow Harry
Truman's old slogan, and are
talking about "the good-for-nothing,
do-nothing Democratic
Congress."
The Congress has passed two
major bills. The first was the
gas bill which divided the
party, killed the "giveaway"
issue, and. gave the President
an opportunity to reap an im
portant gain with his veto. The
second was the farm bill, a
Christmas tree bill if ever there
was one. Especially if the Presi
dent vetoes it, the bill may help
the Democrats in November. But
it is not going to be easy to
point at it with pride, as a piece
of intelligent and responsible
legislation.
TT IS hard to see what else
the Democrats are going to
point with pride at, unless
shrewd majority leader Lyndon
Johnson pulls some unexpected
legislative rabbits out of his hat.
The President, in his cleverly
conceived legislative program,
aborted many issues on which
the Democrats had been count
ing confidently. On other issues,
the majority has been paralyzed
by its internal division.
The bitter North-South divi
sion has blocked any increase in
minimum wages, for example,
or any revision of the Taft-
Hartley Act, and it has probably
blocked any important revision
of the McCarran Act. There is
no central party issue on foreign
policy, party because the pres
tige of Senator Walter George
has acted as a shield for Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles. Similarly, defense is not
nearly the political issue it
might otherwise be, because of
the prestige of the President in
defense matters.
"DEFORE this session began, the
- Democratic leadership was
counting heavily on aid to ed
ucation as an issue for 1956. But
it now seems highly unlikely
that any school bill at all will
be passed, simply because the
school bill automatically in
volves the inflamed issue of
school desegregation.
The bitter feeling aroused by
the desegregation issue are, in
deed, at the heart of the Dem
ocrats' troubles. The issue was
dramatized by the "manifesto"
signed by 19 southern Senators
and 77 Representatives. It was
further dramatized by the ap
pointment of Senator James
Eastland, the leading segrega
tionist, as chairman of the pow
erful Judiciary Committee.
The Eastland . appointment
gives the Republicans a wide-
open opportunity to tell Negro
voters that "a vote for a Dem
ocrat is 'a vote for Eastland,
The Republicans are planning to
exploit the issue further by ask
ing for a committee with sub
poena powers to study civil
rights. And for the first time
there are real signs that many
Negroes, who is the past have
voted Democratic almost as a
solid bloc, are turning back to
the Republican party.
fFHE situation of the Democrats
-"- is further complicated by the
near-mortal wound suffered by
Adlai Stevenson in Minnesota,
Since 1952, there has never been
wild enthusiasm about Steven
son even among the Northern
Democratic leaders. But he was
at least acceptable to almost
everybody he was a bridge be
tween the factions, which was
his great strength. Now the

bridge has been badly weakened,
if not washed away entirely.
And there is really no other
visible Democratic candidate
who can act as a bridge.
Add that the Democrats have
just enough money to keep the
National Committee ticking
over, and the picture of Dem
ocratic disarray becomes com
plete. The coming campaign is
sure to be the most expensive
in history, and the Republicans,
thanks largely to the brilliant
management of Chairman Len
Hall, have more money than at
the very height of the lushly
financed 1952 campaign.
Add finally, of course, that
there are no signs that President
Eisenhower's remarkable person
al popularity is slipping. It might '
then seem about time to report
the approaching demise of the
Democratic party.
But two facts suggest that
such a report may be premature.
The first is that the Minnesota
primary is only the latest evid
ence that the anti-administration
farm revolt is perfectly real. The
second is that, ever since 1952,
the Democrats have been stub
bornly and illogically winning
elections.
