MAIL TRIBUNE Mrs. Roosevelt's Secret For a week we have been trying to figure out the secret of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's amazing popularity, and have finally decided the answer is: there is no secret. It is all very simple and plain. Of course the wonderful health and vitality she was born with has helped, as has her prominence, as wife of the Governor of New York and the First Lady of the Land, for a record breaking length of time. But that might have happened to any number of women and yet we feel sure there would have not been the spontaneous and enthusiastic welcome to anyone else Mrs. Roosevelt received here a week ago, from all sides and from all sorts of people from the moment she ar rived until she departed. W HY? Well the reason we Roosevelt is a great democrat Don't be alarmed ! That is spelled with a small "d" or should be if the proof reader is onto his job. We don't mean she is an outstanding active and loyal member of the Democratic party although of course she is. We mean not only is she interested in people all sorts of people in all parts of the world but she likes them. That is the heart of democracy isn't it? TTHERE is no' outward manifestation of this as she meets people. There is no effort and we presume never has been to please or turn on the charm after the manner of some other prominent persons we might mention but won't. There is none of the ingratiating, hand-holding type of thing at all, rather the reverse in fact. But that important item of interest and liking is SOMEHOW transmitted in some subtle telepathic fa shion to all who meet her she likes people, not spec ial people but just PEOPLE in tht: mass, and as a na tural result people all people like her. e "VES we believe it is as simple as that. But saying it is simple does not mean it is com mon. In fact the quality as possessed by Mrs. Roose velt is extremely rare. The best term for what jure up, at the moment, is GENUINENESS. With that liking and interest in people, is a deep and abiding in tegrity of character, a complete absence of self con scious pretense and pride, all of which even more man one touch of nature makes the whole world kin. TRS. Roosevelt, in other words, has been all over the world, met and mingled with all sorts of peo ple high, low and in between, but whether in some drawing room in Mayfair, a state meeting abroad, or in some kitchen in Medford, Oregon, she has always been and will always be, her unassuming, forthright, interesting and interested IT SEEMED to this department that her remark m her local talk regarding her reaction to a tour of the disposessed miners in West "Virginia, shivering and half starving in their rain and wind battered tents, more than anything else struck the key note of Mrs. Roosevelt s character. ISeinff interested in people all sorts of the people she was interested in the outraged by the conditions under which they were living, and had her duties as a wife and mother not been so pressing at the time she would have returned there, she said, to lead a crusade against those respon sible for such "inhumanity to man." A relatively small incident but a significant and revealing one. . Had she not been a representative of the Roose velt House on the DISTAFF side one feels fairly cer tain that is just what she would have done. R.W.R. A Good Job For the first time we heard Senator Neuberger debate Sunday night. His opponent was Goldwater of Arizona another Freshman Senator and the sub ject was party politics of course. Needless to say the two contestants belonging to opposite parties did not agree. But we don't believe prejudice played any part in our judgement that Oregon's junior Senator got all the better of it. v In fact his ease, quickness, freedom from heat but convincing marshalling of facts, pleased, and in view of criticisms recently received, somewhat sur prised us. Yes Mr. Neuberger did an excellent, workman like job. And while he did not change his opponent's opinions or probably those of any 100 Republicans we believe no objective impartial listener would deny that he skillfully maneuvered his oponent into the extremely vulnerable and untenable position of maintaining federal aid to the needy is along with government aid to education, nothing but creeping socialism, the enemy of private initiative and the Am erican "way of life." Yet most of these principles of social reform and progress have been accepted and put into practice by his OWN party! WE DOUBT if partisan debates like this are of ' much value in a presidential campaign, as far as making votes is concerned. But they do contribute something to clearing the atmosphere and making it easier for those voters not blinded either way by par tisanship to obtain a clearer picture of just where the two major parties stand. If this contest over the air Sunday night was typi cal, we believe our junior Senator will be in consider able demand as a campaigner in the 1956 political fracas. R.W.R. " Tuesday, May I, 1958 have decided is this Mrs. makes it rare we can con simple SELF. miners dismayed and Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. Negative Salesmanship To the Editor: One of the most negative types' of salesmanship is the smear. If a product is in ferior, simply ridicule or slan der the competitor's brand. Per haps then the dingy smoke that results will hide any inferiority. I think that is the reasoning of our late Secretary of the In terior, Douglas McKay. I will agree with anyone that during a political campaign there is usu ally a lot of criticism from both parties. However, if fault is found or there are quite natural disagreements ' on issues, there should be given, conversely, con structive suggestions for remedy. To personally dislike another is hardly constructive. It may be a human weakness but certainly not a Christian characteristic as exemplified by the Golden Rule. It is common knowledge that McKay holds no affection for Sen. Wayne Morse. As a result he is letting his emotions Tather than his mind govern his cam paign. That is why this contest will certainly not convey to the vot ers the two entirely different types of political philosophies of these men. Senator Morse is an independent thinker; McKay is ultra conservative. Surely if Doug McKay is run ning for the office of U.S. Sen ator on his previous record he should dispense with his "Fab ian" tactics as shown to date and inform the voters of Oregon ex actly what his record has been especially in his capacity as Sec retary of the Interior. Or per haps he considers negative sales manship the stronger of the two choices. . Ken Corliss, 1564 Myers lane, Medford, Ore. Cause of Delinquency? To the Editor: In these so changing times, it is precarious, sometimes presumptuous, to say what is wrong or right, , even though guided to a degree by some 5,000 years of written his tory. But when there are changes in ways of life that bring tragic results, we can ask what of the cost? Like the movie killing of Congressional Committees Hold Fewer Closed Meetings Washington (CQ) Congres sional committees barred the public and press t-om 31.9 per cent of their meetings this year. But an improvement of 3.9 per cent in the number of open hear ings, over a comparable 1955 period, indicates Congress is heeding public criticism of com mittee secrecy. Congress ional Quarterly's study of closed and open com mittee hearings discloses that 411 of the 1,289 committee ses sions held between Jan. 3 and April 15, 1956, were in execu tive (closed) session. House More Open House committees generally had a more open policy than either Senate or Joint commit tees. As of April 15. House com mittees held 28.6 per cent of the time, 36 out of 59. No major committee-1-those meeting 10 or more times held all meetings before the public. Ten committees met at least half the time behind closed doors. The 10, and their percentage of closed meetings: House Administration, 90.9 per cent; House Public Works, Joint Atomic Energy, . 75 per cent; Senate Agriculture . and Forestry,, 69.6 per cent; Senate Foreign Relations, 62.5 per cent; Senate Post Office and Civil Service, 55.6 per cent; Senate District of Columbia, 52 per cent; Senate Armed Services, House District of Columbia, House Foreign Affairs, 50 per cent. Pope Urges Fight To Bring Peace Vatican City U.R) Pope Pius XII, warning against the "deceit ful mirages1' of Communism, urged Christian workers today to join a battle to bring peace and order to terrified mankind. The 80-year-old pontiff ad dressed the workers of the world in a May Day speech from St Peter's Basilica marking the first celebration of the Roman Catho lic feast day of St. Joseph the workman. His words were spoken direct ly to tens of thousands of work ers in St. Peter's square and by radio to an international meet ing of workers in Milan in a move timed with Communist delebrations of May Day. "Go, then, with a clear cons cience towards the lofty goals which are set before you," the Pope said. "Go with particular urgency .to your brothers, vic tims of error and of deceitful mirages . . . "None of you, dear sons, can doubt that benefits, re ligious, moral and material, which her (the Church's) solici tous and unwearied action is destined to achieve along the paths of order and peace" he said. a kindly white whiskered old river-boat captain who was left there forgotten like an unwanted dog. It was at a drive-in theater showing some Kentuckian and son on their way to Texas in early days. Such "bang bang" stuff is not for me, but sight of the old stern-wheeler that was part of my work once, was a welcome sight. And the histor ical pageantry was good save for a sour part where the boy was pictured wearing a "girl's night dress" as they were known to us in such times. We boys, shirt tailed to bed. Some elderly men when asked .grinningly admitted the custom. Some city boys did wear a "girl's night-dress" but what a ribbing they got when going to the country to earn a few dollars at haying-time? But even though the fighting and killing in those days by grown-ups was all too common, the featuring of it in movies and TV, the screaming and moaning of it over the radio, looks to me like the cost of juvenile murders today, which will not be re counted here. It is bad enough to read of them in news releases in such tragic regularity, not mentioning young girls involved in them. The general run of peo ple when questioned about it, pass it by with, "No different now than it was. Just more peo ple and quicker ways of making such things known." Are they right or wrong? My memory is good and goes far back in the years, but can bring up nothing comparative. A side-light was given by a widowed mother who told how one of her boys refused to go along with his brothers in camp ing and such like, but insisted on running with a gang whose nightly activities was a growing concern to the police depart ment. He was too big for her to whip and the look on his face when other means were em ployed frightened her so she kept her bedroom door locked at night. When closely observed, the boy s talk and action re flected the radio, TV and movie. F. J. Clifford, 1211 West Main st., -Medford, Ore. Improvement Noted Although three-tenths of the committee meetings so far in 1956 have been closed, this is an improvement over comparable periods in 1955 and 1954 and may be indicative of a trend to wards less executive meetings The estimate of the number of closed hearings for 1956 as weU as previous years is con servative. CQ's tabulations do not include hearings of the House Appropriations Commit tee, since traditionally no offi cial record of these is kept. The number of executive hear ings may stem from a lack of sentitivity on the part of some committees to the desires of the press and public for more infor mation. For instance, Omar Burleson (D.-Texas), whose House Admin istration Committee held 90.9 per cent of its 11 meetings in executive session the highest percentage of closed hearings recorded told CQ there was "no particular occasion for any public hearing." Burleson said much of the work of his Com mittee is routine, added there is "little work of any public interest." Not all Congressmen place a premium on secrecy. Chairman Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) of the Senate Interstate and For eign Commerce Committee says he finds "the best understanding of pending legislation comes when there is free access" to committee meetings. Lawmakers Disturbed The amount of business con ducted behind barred doors has disturbed lawmakers. Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) in August of 1955 said he would press for a Senate investigation of what he termed an "excessive number" of executive sessions. Last Feb. 23, Humphrey, com menting on a pending Foreign Relations Committee meeting, said: "It is my hope that it will be a public hearing . . . The busi ness of the government should be public." Four days later Hum phrey told a convention: "There are far too many executive ses sions in this city . . . There needs to be more open discussion." Chairman John E. Moss (D Calif.) of a House Government Operations Subcommittee study ing the flow of information from executive agencies of the gov ernment said he hoped the work of his Committee had a "moral effect" on Congressional infor mation policy. Committees have the power to decide whether their meetings will be closed or open. The ap parent decline in the ratio of dosedf sessions may have been influenced by such factors as continued newspaper criticism of secrecy in government and the changing nature of legislation considered by committees. Copyright 1956. Congressional Quarterly) Four 'One-Man Rulers Facing Challenges in Own Countries Br CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent "One man rule" in under at tack in four countries in widely separated arts of the world. The leaders concerned are Chancellor Ad enauer, West Germany, Gen. Francisco Franco, Spain, President Ful gencio Batista of Cuba and President Syngman Rhee Charles aiccann of South Ko rea. Adenauer and Rhee became their -countries' leaders in the course of normal political elec tions. Franco attained power as the result of the Spanish Civil war. Batista got back into the presidency by a coup. Each is the outstandingly dom inant figure in the country con cerned. Now the 80-year-old Aden auer's one man rule is being challenged'not only by members of opposition political parties but by the rank and file of his own Christian Democrats. Adenauer is chairman of the party. There have been two dep uty chairmen. Four Deputies Named Over Adenauer's protest, the party at a conference in Stutt gart Saturday decides to name four deputies. One of them is Karl Arnold, former premier of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a lead er of the Christian Democratic left wing. The rank and file elected Arnold a deputy to put him in line to succeed Adenauer as chancellor when "the time comes. Adenauer's plea that Ar nold's election would undermine his authority went unheeded." One reason, undoubtedly, is that. Adenauer has refused per sistently to name his own polit ical heir. He had come pretty near to promising that he would designate an heir at the confer ence. Instead he made it plain that he means to stay in office indefinitely. In Spain, Franco is under at tack by intellectuals and work ers. There were serious riots in February in Madrid between un iversity students and members of Franco's Falange party. Now there has been an outbreak of strikes, involving scores of thou sands of workers, in industrial Northern Spain. White House Gets Irrigation Bill Washington-CU.PJ A bill de signed to meet president objec tions to a law allowing interest free loans for construction of ir rigation distribution systems has been passed by the Senate ana sent to the White House. -When President Eisenhower signed the 6riginal bill last year, he asked for the present amend ment, which provides that the Interior department will take ownership of the systems until the loans are repaid. The Senate Interior commit tee recommended the amend ment, but said in a report it be lieved the security for loans could be obtained, administra tively by the secretary of in terior. Loans could be obtained only for systems connected with au thorized reclamation projects. Backing for the bill came chief ly from irrigation districts in the San Joaquin valley and oth er sections of California. The Interior department has held up granting-of any loans in the program pending passage of the amending legislation. Civilian Rewarded For Korea Fighting Washington U.R) The Sen ate yesterday voted $1,182 for former Marine Cpl. Joseph H. Washburn, who went through some of the bitterest battles of the Korean war while a civilian. Washburn, a World War n veteran of Long Beach, Calif., joined the Marine Reserve Sept. 1, 1949. He asked for a discharge and received it July 6, 1950. But on July 26, 20 days later, he got orders to report with his unit for Korean war service. Washburn protested. But by Aug, 18 he was ,on his way to Korea. He took part in the In chon landing, the capture of Seoul and the desperate fighting when the Marines, m subzero weather, battled their way to the coast from the Communist trap at the Chosen reservoir. It was after that, while Wash burn wag in a rest camp, that the Marines said the military equivalent of "oops!" and sent him home. SWEET GAS Nunica, Mich. (U.R) Four motorists and a school bus driv er who couldn't get their vehi cles started discovered someone had "sweetened" their gasoline by pouring sugar into the tanks. The students, supported by in tellectual elements, complain against the domination of the Falange. The workers struck in protest against economic condi tions. Rebels Attack Post Opposition to Batista broke out in Matanzas province in Cuba Sunday. A band of rebels, apparently supporters of former President Carlos Prio Socarras, attacked an army post. Fifteen rebels were killed. Five univer sity students had been killed earlier last week in attacks on police patrols. Batista blamed Prio Socarras for the outbreaks and had him taken into custody briefly. Ba tista had ousted him from- the presidency in a coup in 1952. Prio Socarras went into exile in Matter of Fact by ARABIAN FERMENT Dhahran, Saudi Arabia This is the land of incredible jux tapositions. Walk a mile from where these words are written, past the low, spidery struc tures of pipes that here abouts signify producing oil wells, and you find the kind Joseph Aisop or empty aes- ert that Doughty and T. E. Law rence described. But here in the "senior staff camp" (which means the camp of skill and privilege) of the Arabian American Oil Com pany, you are in a brisk little suburb of Los Angeles which has been transported, as though by magic carpet, into the midst of the wilderness. Or in Jeddah, if you are about betimes, you can occasionally see a crowd of Negro women squatting at the entrance of the dress shop that has been opened by the enterprising wives of two of the Saudi Airlines American pilots. These women are harem servants who have got the word that the shop has a new consign ment of the best clothes New York can produce. They will take home whole armfulls to their ladies. But for their jewels and their really good dresses, the women shut away in the harems look to still more costly Paris. fR HERE in Dhahran, in Ar " amco's vast refinery, you can see Saudi Arabian workmen performing the most complex technical tasks, and getting equal pay with foreign contract labor too. But in this country, you can still buy slaves. The price is rumored to be about $150 for an able bodied man, $300 for a boy and $600 for a girl; and a first class hunting falcon costs nearly as much as a male slave. These juxtapositions are im portant, because they - suggest the violence of the transition through which this country is now passing, from the imme morial past into the busy pres ent. And this violent transition is vitally significant because it is creating , a highly unstable situation, which is hardly masked any longer by the ap pearance of the absolute power or the Saudi dynasty. In brief, under the impact of the -sudden inflow of oil money, Arabia's old tribal system has all but broken down entirely. Within two de cades a nation that was three quarters nomadic has become three quarters settled, and most of the settlement has taken place in a few towns where the court and oil company spend their money. "PURTHERMORE, whole new social groups are now emerg ing and beginning to ask ques tions., There is a sort of new bourgeoisie, led by contractors for Aramco and the court, many of whom would like to see their country more rapidly modern ized. There is the new Saudi Arabia army, with its American and Egyptian instructors. Just under a year ago, a group of Saudi army officers tried a coup on the Egyptian pattern. They were de feated, and since then the King has kept his feudal tribal levies, the Mujahaddin, on a footing of almost full mobilization. But the army is still a force to be reckoned with. ' And finally, besides many other centers of change like the school with their Egyptian teachers, there are the tens of thousands of oil company work ers and ex-cil company workers who have learned new' ways. oepofrrco vfliynt Br THE tXV EARN FROM THE U I SAVINGS 10 AN ASSOCIATION SINCE 1909 EI fzi 75 7Z mam Miami, Fla., but returned six months ago. Batista accused him early last month of plotting a revolt. Finally, 81-year-old Syngman Rhee is being challenged by two opponents in the presiden tial election to be held May 15. They are campaigning largely against Rhee's firm one-man rule. It is pretty certain that Rhee will be elected. Nor- are the challenges to Adenauer, Franco and Batista likely to get any where soon. West Germans and Koreans seem to feel that Aden auer and Rhee are indispensable in the present world situation. Franco and Batista have the support of their armies, as well as political parties, against any serious revolt. Joseph Alsop One of the junior Americans who sees a lot of these men re vealingly remarked to me that the more skilled workers re sented their own government, because of the lack of social progress in their country, while the less skilled resented the oil company, because they wanted even higher wages. Despite the smiling surface, one can see problems ahead for Aramco. "DUT the man who has real problems is King Saud, the good man who inherited the rule of Arabia from his great father at the most critical moment. when the forces of change were suddenly gathering their full momentum. There is hardly any doubt that the drive to modern ize Arabia would be causing open trouble here today, if King Saud had followed a different foreign policy. The King's policy, for which he rather visibly lacks personal enthusiasm, is essentially based on his alliance with Egypt. His real role is to finance Egypt's anti-Western drive in the other Arab states and especially in Jordan and Iraq. Partly, this policy can be laid to the King's three refugee advisors, Yusuf Yassin, Jamal Bey Husseini and Khalid Abu Walid, all of whom are bitterly anti-Western for personal reasons. In part, too, this policy can be laid to native emotions. There is the old hatred of the Hashemite family that rules in Iraq and Jordan, the descend dants of the Prophet from whom the house of Saud wrested the holy places of Islam. ' There is above all the bitterness over the Israeli problem. Even the heir to the throne, Feisal Prince of the Hejaz, frankly told me he was pleased by the prospect of Soviet support against IsraeL ' TUT there is another cause for Saudi policy that goes deeper than any of these. At present, through his Egyptian alliance, King Saud is playing the role of an Arab nationalist leader. But if he broke with Egypt, the hose of propaganda and agitation . would be turned on him as it is now turned on Nuri Pasha in Iraq. He would be portrayed as an American puppet, the captive of his oil company, the feudalist who holds back Arabia from na tional progress. It would be unfair, but it would be effective in the present unstable situation in Arabia. These people do not like the Egyptians who are so rapidly creeping in among them, but they would listen to Cairo's voice of the Arabs if it began to shout aloud their own unspoken aspirations. Thus the ferment that is now beneath the surface would come' to an open rolling boil. After that, anything might happen. Because this prospect always hangs over the Saudi govern ment, Saudi Arabia must now be regarded as the captive, if you like, of the new Arab national ist movement that - presently centers in Cairo. In fact this Arab nationalist link has to be treated as stronger than the powerful Saudi links to the United States. ' (Copyright 1956, Ne wYork Herald Tribune Inc.) MR.
