TIE WERE fortunate enough to hear Senator Bar-
T ley's "swan song" at the 1952 Democratic con
vention in Chicago when organized labor turned him
down as a presidential candidate because of age; and
we also heard him over the air only a few nights ago
when he delivered the oration marking the anniver
sary of former .President
The style of delivery was the same but in the latter
effort the old fire was gone, and toward the end the
speaker's usual fluency and wit failed a number of
times; the right word would not come,. and. one m
stinctively drew a sigh of relief when the oration was

doubtedly she realized the fading of his old-time pow

highly declamatory and "back-woodsy" anecdotal

himself, it will be surprise No. 1. If he should select
anyone really qualified to take the "Veep's" place
or sit in "the greatest deliberative body in the world"
at all, it will be surprise No. 2.
The good citizens of Kentucky must be shivering
in their boots as their governor deliberates with his

A dlai Stevenson
Adlai Stevenson will never win a beauty contest.
Nor has he much of a chance in a Popularity contest.
In fact, if the American people insist upon having a
"Glamour Boy" type in the White House, he will prob
ably never be President.
DUT IF THE present national mood should change
and of course eventually it will and a strong
demand for intelligent leadership, competence and
national accomplishment in a quiet but effective' way,
should be aroused as far. as the office of chief execu
tive in this country is concerned, then not only would
the former governor of Illinois have a good chance,
but if elected would, in the judgment of this depart
ment, make one of the best presidents the country has
ever had. .
That was our opinion four years ago ; it is our
opinion today.
DUT AS WE view the mood of the American people
as of now the prospects are not bright.
As far as politics and public affairs, domestic and
foreign, in general are concerned, there appears to be
a widespread indifference and apathy. There is no
spirit of sharp inquiry or realistic appraisal or if
there is, the skipper of this department has been un
able to detect it.
There seems to be a general atmosphere of self
satisfaction even complacency not" only in this
neck of the woods but throughout the land. There are"
exceptions of course, but in general the rank and file
from one coast to the other, seem not only, strongly
adverse to rocking the boat, but quite indifferent to
the exact course the boat is taking. They don't even
want to dance, but prefer to relax in the nearest deck
chair and be lulled to sleep by the soothing strains of
the GOP theme song entitled: "Peace, prosperity and
Platitudes."
We may be wrong. (We have been once or twice !)
We hope we are this time. The primary on May 18 will
give some indication, the election in November will
give more. R.W. R.

Matter of
FEELING THE
PEOPLE'S PULSE
Gary, Ind Just how do the
public opinion polls work, how
reliable are they and what do
they really
mean?
The question
is worth ask
i n g, because
the polls have
become a ma
jor influence
in Ameri can
politics. The
polls induced
Stewart Aisop a fatal com
placency in the Dewey camp in
1948, for example. They almost
certainly denied to Robert A.
Taft the nomination he sought
so long and so arduously. More
recently, they were principally
responsible for. the abortive
"Dump Nixon" movement.
For such reasons, this reporter
ha just spent two long days
here in the industrial town of
Gary, and in the slums and sub
urbs of Chicago, ringing door
bells and buttonholing potential
voters. l,ouis xiarris, partner in
the respected Elmo Roper polling
organization, and a brilliant po
litical analyst in his own right,
nas acted as guide' and mentor
of this pulse-feeling operation.
TN ALL, we have talked to
some 75 people, housewives,
Negroes, steelworkers, middle
class businessmen, and rjlain
Americans. From the point of
view of the political reporter, it
nas teen a fascinating experi
ence, which has led to certain
very strong impressions. But
first it is worth describing what
it is like being a pollster, and
how the pulse-feeling operation
works.
The first thing you do, if you
are as careful and diligent a
pulse-feeler as Louis Harris, is
to make a very careful analysis
of a given area its racial com
position, its income level, its past
voting record. Then you prepare
a detailed political questionnaire.
And then you go out and ring
doorbells.
Suppose you are feeling the
public pulse in a workingman's
section of Gary. There Is a street
of new, small houses what
used to be called bungalows
some of them beginning to show
the signs of wear. You knock,
and a door is opened a third of
the way, suspiciously. Harris,
with a professionalism born of
long experience, begins to talk
easily and quietly: "We have
been doing a survey here in
Gary, and a lot of other places,
and I'd like to ask you, if you
don't mind, how you voted in the
1852 election."
ONCE in a while the door is
slammed, but usually, once
the first question is answered,
the rest is easy. Often, the chilly
pollsters are asked to step inside,
and when they thankfully do so,
they see almost exactly the same
thing, except in the slums and
the richer suburbs. The front
door gives directly on a small
but cozy room, with framed re
productions on the walls, ivy
growing from a wall bracket, the
furniture covered with a trans
parent plastic material, and
children clustered in single-
minded silence before the new
hearth of the American home,
the -television set.
Then the questioning begins,
and it soon becomes apparent
that poll-taking is not a science
but an art a useful and mean
ingful art, when practiced by
such an expert as Harris, but an
art all the same.
A couple of days of poll-taking
serve as a reminder that Ameri
cans are nice and friendly peo
ple, who talk freely. But the ex
perience also serves as a re
minder that political matters are
far from removed from the daily
life and daily interests of most
Americans.
ALMOST everybody, we dis
covered, knew-, something
about President Eisenhower and
something less about Adlai
Stevenson (although one lady re
marked that it was too bad
"That poor Stevens had that
heart attack.") About two out of
three had some notions about
Est'es' "Kefauver. But a good
many could not identify the Vice
President, and only a handful
had formed an opinion of such
esoteric political figures as Av
erell Harriman and Stuart Sym
ington. .
In such" circumstances it
would have been wholly futile
merely to ask a series of me
chanical questions, and to note
the answer.-. Poll-taking, more
even than most political report
ing, is an attempt to peer into
the recesses of the human mind.
IfTHEN the young steel worker
' ' sa vs hp exriects to vote for
Stevenson, will he really go to
the polls? When the tattered old
Negro on the back stoop of a
slum house says he will vote for
Eisenhower, is he merely trying
to . please the poll-takers? How
do you score the lady who says
she always votes Democratic,
but that she just loves the Presi
dent on TV? And how is the
elderly feUow who allows that
he ."kinda likes that Cowfever"
really going to. vote, if at all?
Because American voters are
human beings, and human beings
are unpredictable, it is simply
hot possible to express the poli
tical sentiments of the Ameri
can people neatly, down to the
last decimal point.
But the kind of careful, dili
gent pulse-feeling such experts

Nunley Praised
To the Editor: I was most
pleased to learn that Mr. Wal
ter Nunley is running for re
election as District Attorney of
your county, and hope you will
find a little space for a few com
ments about him.
Your city is recognized as hav
ing an unusual number of good
citizens, who are wining to give
generously of their time and
money for the benefit of their
community. Your county offic
ials seem to have been as a rule
men imbued with this same
idealism.
I have had greater opportu
nity than most citizens to be
come acquainted with District
Attorneys in Oregon. On the
whole we are most fortunate in
finding men of ability and char
acter to hold those positions, for
there is usually limited financial
remuneration. I consider Mr.
Nunley to be one of the best. He
is aggressive in protecting the
community's safety and welfare,
yet considerate of the individ
ual. I have found him to be hon
est and fair, even in a hard
fought court battle. His personal
and family life are beyond
criticism.
I think Jackson county is for
tunate that men of Nunley's
character and ability will accept
the onerous responsibilities of
public office.

Sales Tactics
To the Editor: We live on a
little dirt road away from the
beaten track where there is sum
mer shade, a waterfall, peace
and quiei and few agents.
But what few there are have
resorted to underhanded, con
temptible approaches until it
seems they would undermine
public confidence in the substan
tial efforts of straightforward
salesmen seeking to serve rural
areas. We don't mind sharing
our time and courtesy with an
upright salesman (we have done
a little selling ourselves); but a
few have attempted annually to
wrap us around their finger and
anchor us there in' a hypnotic
state before making their basic
business known. So now we have
a sign at the gate: "No agents
nor Jilac perfume!"
A particular line of magazine
salesmen flaunt a bag of cam
ouflaged tricks, first giving us
the impression we should know
them, thus gearing our concen
tration powers so we cannot say
"No" later on. Next they make
mention of two or three of our
neighbors, to embroil us in a
genuinely friendly atmosphere
which we cannot back out of.
Next they "throw us" by ex
cessive comment on the dog or
cat and making comparative re
marks about the neighbor's cat,
so we believe they must already
live ii the neighborhood and we
must be "nuts" if we don't rec
ognize them. Then they produce
their card of credentials,, and it
is only if we are wise from pre
vious years that we are able to
detect that they are simply sell
ing magazine subscriptions for
"points" toward some personal
goal.
Next we ask where they are
from, thinking maybe we ought
to help out, and they name a
local town with the trite com
ment, "You don't hold that
against us, do you?" One of our
farmer neighbors, when the
agent insisted he must make
some points, inquired if he
ever thought of going to work.
Another salesman with a re
liable company tripped up to
the door with the airiness of a
windy April day and had us
squirted with lilac perfume and
cold cream before we could
catch our breath, and danced
away again, informing us he
would be back tomorrow with
his housecleaning equipment.
For him there was ho tomorrow
at our house. (We learned from
our neighbors that he was quite
perturbed as to our state of men
tal health).
Another trick we have been
submitted to is the polite and
suave telephone call preceding
the salesman's visit. It is only
by past experience on that one,
too, that we can -detect it is a
trick to get the proverbial foot
it the door.
At the present time we are
calmly resting behind the bul
wark of the crayoned message
at the front gate, waiting to see
if their brazen attacks will pene
trate that! .

THE JOINT STATEMENT
The joint statement given out
after the London talks contains
no surprises, pleasant or unpleas-
a n t, and no
news of what,
if any thing,
the British and
the Russians
learned that
they had not
known before.
The statement
does, however,
a p p e a r to
Walter Uppmam show that
there is now considerable sup
port in Moscow for the American
view that the U. N. is the proper
instrument for dealing with the
Middle East. The Soviet Union
had already indicated this just
before Bulganin and Khrushchev
went to London.
The joint statement now con
firms it in rather clear and 'ex
plicit words. It also turns what
was only a unilateral declaration
into an international commit
ment. On the record this is a decided
step forward. For the question
of war or peace in the Middle
East is fundamentally a ques
tion of whether the Soviet Union
wants or does not. want CoL Nas
ser to embark on military ad
ventures against Israel and
against Britain. Because of pres
sures from within Egypt, if for
no other reason, Col. Nasser is
almost certain to attempt ad
ventures sooner or later if, on
the one hand, the Soviet Union
keeps sending him arms, and if.
primarily to the wonderful re
sponse that we had from radio,
television and newspapers. It
really was terrific.
I am very happy to say that
this is one of the best years that
we have ever had with our
Kapers. At present, we do not
have the final audit of our
books, but it looks as though
we are going to be; able to take
care of many, many more under
privileged children this coming

To the Editor: Scientists place
the age of our earth at some
where between two and three
billion years. Our sun was set
in its ways even before this. On
any given day of any given year,
either 1956 A.D., or 1956 B.C.,
the sun will rise and set at a
specific time. Actually it is the
revolving of our earth around
the sun that gives us the im
pression of the sun rising and
setting. At the present time
there is no way that human be
ings can change this ritual.
It has been brought to my at
tention during the past few days,
that certain states and localities
have entered a so-called period
of "Daylight Saving Time."
Webster defines saving as,
something kept from being ex
pended or lost." Are the other
localities so much more advanc
ed than we are? Do they have a
secret of bottling up or storing
the summer daylight for reuse
in the winter? If they have such
a secret, it's a shame they don't
let the whole world know about
it. If however they attempt to
save daylight by merely turning
the hands on the clock, then we
should have a feeling of pity
for them. There is just so many
daylight hours in any one day,
regardless of the hour on the
clock that- the sun rises or sets.
In closing, I would like to
add, the people of this great
state of Oregon should be com
mended that they are alert and
intelligent enough to know there
is still no known means for man
to save daylight.

Kremlin that would harden his
country's division.
This question of German uni
fication lies in the background
of every conference the Allies
hold with Russia or hold among"
themselves.
To Adenauer and his fellow
Germans, it is naturally the big
gest European question.
West German Foreign Minis
ter Heinrich Brentano an
nounced April 13 that Wilhelm
Haas, Adenauer's ambassador to
Russia, had been instructed to
take up the unification question
with the Kremlin.

on the other hand, it interposes
its own force against an Anglo
American intervention. As
against that, there is no serious
risk of Nasser's trying a miltiary
adventure if the Soviet Union
in the United Nations concurs
in forbidding adventures.
FFHE question, obviously, is
whether there has been a gen
uine shift in Soviet policy a
shift one might say, from un
limited support of a Moscow
Cairo axis to a U.N. policy of
restraint and conciliation. I do
not, of course,, know the answer
to this question. Bur I can im
agine strong reasons and the
kind that would impress Moscow
for thinking that there has
been a decision in Moscow to
halt the drift towards war.
There is always the general
argument that if a war in Pal
estine were allowed to start, no
body can foresee how far it
would spread and whom it would
involve. But even if such a war
were prevented from growing in
to a world war, there are compel
ling reasons why the Soviet
Union must wish to prevent it,
They must know in Moscow
that on a showdown Great Brit
ain and the United States would
intervene to prevent Col. Nas
ser from driving Israel into the
sea and Britain out of the Mid
dle East. They must know," too,
that Anglo-American sea and air
power can, if necessary, dom
inate the Eastern Mediterranean
and the Persian Gulf, and that
there is nothing short of war
that the Soviet Union could do
to prevent it. They must know,
too, in Moscow that .once, the
United States is forced to estab
lish a military beachhead in the
Middle East there would ' be
little prospect of a withdrawal.
The net result would be that
the Soviet Union, having frivol
ously let war break out, would
have brought the Americans
more deeply and more per
manently than ever before into
the Middle East.
.
rpHE Soviet rulers do not, I be-
lieve, like to fool themselves,
and for that reason we are en
titled to believe that they mean
it when they say that they will
work through the U.N. to pre
vent war and even to find a set
tlement. Not only does this avert
the danger of a great war but it
also averts the danger to them
of our intervention in a local
war.
That is not all. In the U.N.
policy they have won a recogni
tion by Britain and America
that the Soviet Union is a great
power in the Middle East, that
the Middle East is not a British
American sphere of influence
from which they are excluded.
The recognition in ' London
that Russia shares the responsi
bility for maintaining peace in
the Middle East is, in the per
spective of history, a big event.
We shall be living in its many
consequences from this time for
ward.

capitals. Anxiety arose at once
mat Adenauer misht make a
private deal which would weak
en West Germany's ties with its
fellow members of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization.
Adenauer has since made it
plain that he simply wants to
keep the unification Question
fully alive, and that he means to
keeD it alive in thi minds nf the
Big Three Western allies as well
as the Russians.
Adpnailpr cniri in a enojuh lacf
Thursday at a meeting of his
nrisuan Democratic party wai
he remains as always distrustful
of Russia.
The downgrading of Josef
Stalin, he said, does not mean a
change in the Communist goal
of world domination:
"We are faced, as before, with
a power bloc that seeks its own
goals, with a new and perhaps
more dangerous set of tactics,"
he said.
But he also showed his fear of
an Allied deal with the Kremlin
by sending Foreign Minister
Brentano to London this week.
Brentano went to discuss with
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
and Foreign Minister Selwyn
Lloyd the recent visit to Britain
of Soviet Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin and Communist party
chief Nikita S. Khrushchev.
Adenauer wanted to make
sure that Britain had not and
would not do anything at all to
prejudice eventual German uni
fication. To Meet Leaders
Brentano will be in Paris to
day to attend the meeting of
foreign ministers -of the North
Atlantic Alliance. He has ar
ranged meetings first with
French Premier Guy Mollet and
Foreign Minister Christian Pi
neau, then with Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles.
In both talks, Brentano's first
concern will be to emphasize the
paramount importance to West
Germany of the unification
issue.
All this is because Adenauer
and his government are always
afraid that the Western allies,
especially the United States as
the dominant one, will try to end
the cold war at Germany's ex
pense. Adenauer was afraid that the
unification question might play
a part in the current United Na
tions disarmament conference in
London. Before the meeting
started, he sent personal letters
to President Eisenhower, Eden
and Mollet warning them against
seeking any agreement with
Russia which did not contain a
Russian pledge of unification.
Thus, the situation remains
that while Adenauer says he will
not negotiate directly with Rus
sia, he remains afraid that the
Allies might. . .
