How About "Give Aways?"
That was a wonderful line delivered by Adlai
Stevenson on his recent visit when he said Senator
Wayne Morse is one of Oregon's great natural assets.
"Don't let the GOP give HIM away," was his
warning.
As is often the case with the former Governor of
Illinois, that remark hit the bull's eye with a smack,
but also with a smile.
And that quality is rare in Big League politics at
the present time. So few have a sense of humor, so
many are full of pomposity and platitudes and take
themselves with so much more seriousness than any
one else does.
Adlai, in short, is win, lose or draw rare and
refreshing.
DUT HOW ABOUT Secretary of the Interior Mc
Kay and his "give away" policies? We believe
many voters would like to have the facts free from
double-talk or partisan prejudices on either side.
We would suggest such people read the leading
article in this month's "Harper's" by the veteran
Washington correspondent Warren Unna entitled
"Republican Give Aways, the Charges and the Facts."
Harper's certainly has no partisan axe to grind, is
one of America's leading monthly magazines and one
of the oldest with the highest reputation for integrity
and accuracy. Yet its indictment of the McKay admin
istration from the "give away" standpoint is, in our
judgment, overwhelming and unanswerable.
THAT former Secretary McKay might not deny this
is indicated by the fact when asked about his
"give aways" program the other day in Corvallis he
made no explicit answer, but flew into a rage, ac
cused the inquirer of being a "New Dealer," then de
nied give away charges in toto. They added up, he
said, to phoney political claptrap, conjured up by his
enemies with no regard for the record or the truth.
Harper's magazine and correspondent Warren
Unna don't seem to agree with him.
WE REGRET space doesn't permit reproducing the
article in full but here are some of the main
counts in condensed form quote :
"By March of this year in six major instances pieces of
Federal property or national rights have been passed, sold
or surrendered to private hands. Here they are:
(1) "The National Wildlife refuges heretofore sacrosanct
have been opened to the oil drilling rigs of the oil indus
try. In August 1953, not long after coming into office
Secretary McKay issued a stop-order on further leasing.
Then began some of the choicest bits of double-talk heard
in Washington for some time. Interior now concedes it grant
ed some 274 leases between the time the stop-order began
and last December 2nd when it was revoked!"
Nice work if the oil companies can get it, and
thanks to Secretary of the Interior McKay they got it.
No Give Away?
(2) "A sizeable parcel of National Forest timber in Ore
gon is now being cut over by a private company under the
legalistic guise of complying with the Federal mineral laws."
"Previous administrations, aware that high lumber pric
es induce 'timber mining,' kept a wary eye out for applica
tions on these forest lands ight of the (Al Sarena) claims
were granted. But 15 others, totalling 2QS acres were denied
after the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service
and several private assay firms had failed to find sufficient
evidence to justify putting the mine back in operation; also
failed to find sufficient evidence of gold or silver ore to just
ify either Al Sarena in the digging or ths government in ced
ing its land for the nominal price of $5 an acre."
IT HAD BEEN an established custom in the past,
to grant no such mining claims unless they were
authorized by either the Forest Service or the Bureau
of Land Management, or both, but in this case by go
ing to Mobile, Alabama for assays, and to the Bureau
of Mines for an OK, on mineral content, these two
agencies were successfully by-passed, and the private
firm got the timber at a profit of over $100,000.
Again, nice work if you can get it, and THEY
got it!
(3) "At least one parcel of the National Forest in Minne
sota has gone into private hands through a secret long-term
lease.
"International Nickel Company asked the Democratic
administration for a 99-year lease on 12,000 acres. It got no
where. Once the Republicans came in the company con
fronted the Forest Service with an Office of Defense Mobil
ization letter, declaring the national welfare would be en
dangered if -the (International Nickel company) request were
not granted. Interior's Assistant Undersecretary Lewis told
the company officials: 'If you gentlemen draft the kind of
lease you want we will be glad to look it over.' "
TOE "LOOKING OVER" process resulted in a 50-
year irrevocable lease on this acreage of national
forest land and when the details of this transaction
were requested the same was denied by an official of
the Interior Department, who declared the "memor
andum of conversations with Assistant Secretary
Lewis were in the secret files of Secretary McKay."
(4) "The Federal Power Act has been rewritten through
a sort of administrative fiat as the public-power advocates
call it."
This refers to Secretary McKay's withdrawal of
his predecessor's objections to private development of
the Hells Canyon project and his telling the Federal
Power Commission "it would be nice if the Idaho Pow
er company applications were approved."
(5) "The government's $35,000,000 synthetic fuel plant
has gone to the Hercules Powder Company for $5,000,000.
Here the so-called give away ratio is 14 cents to the dollar.
No give away?
(6) "The traditional "wheeling' regulation which requir
ed private power companies using federal power to transmit
gome of this power over their own lines to such preference
groups as cooperatives and public power companies has
been abrogated."
a
OERE IS, in our judgment, the most serious charge
in the Harper's indictment for the changes made
in the "code" were not dictated by the Interior De
partment but by the Pacific Gas and Electric Co.!

FEELING THE
PEOPLE'S PULSE II
Chicago, HI. The rather ex
hausting experience of inter
viewing at some length 75 Amer
ican voters of all shapes, sizes
and shades of
political opin
ion leaves you
with a curious
jumble of rec
ollections. You remem
ber how nice
and friendly
people are,
even when
Stewart Aisop ineir privacy is
invaded by total strangers. You
remember how uninformed many
are ("Harriman? Well, I can't
rightly say who that is") and
how inarticulate ("Why do I
like Ike? Well, he just seems
like an awful nice sort of per
son"). You remember the shame
ful squalor of the Negro slums
here in Chicago (worse than any
thing in Moscow), and the sense
of modest prosperity elsewhere,
with an underlayer of nervous
ness about the future ("Why,
there isn't a house or a car on
this street that's paid for").
YOU remember also certain to
tally unscientific, purely per
sonal, but nevertheless very viv
id political impressions. This re
porter has brought away with
him two such impressions.
One is that President Eisen
hower is stronger with the vot
ers at least outside the farm
areas than in 1952. The other
is that something sad and mys
terious has happened to tarnish
the public image of Adlai E.
Stevenson.
This reporter embarked on the
pulse-feeling expedition suspect
ing that President Eisenhower's

NATO
The spring meeting in Paris of
the NATO powers has been pre
ceded by considerable headshak-
mg about the
p r o s p ects of
alliance.
The Iceland
p a r 1 i a ment
would like the
troP to go
home. The
French have
moved large
Walter Lippmann parts of their
army from the central front in
Germany to North Africa. The
Germans are putting off a con
scription law because' military
service is unpopular and because
business is booming. Just below
the official surface in Germany
there is a strong disposition to
treat the German membership
in NATO, not as vital to German
securty but, as a bargaining
point in dealing with the Soviets
about reunification.
As Germany and France are
the two big countries most vul
nerable to the Red army, the
way they are behaving has
made many, ask themselves
whether NATO is disintegrating.
I should like to argue that what
is disintegrating is not the foun
dation of NATO but a super
structure that is obsolescent.
HfHAT are the foundations of
" NATO? They consist, to
speak plainly, of a North Amer
ican guarantee to go to war if
there is a Soviet military aggres
sion across the frontiers of the
members of the NATO alliance.
The fundamental idea is that if
the United States, assisted by its
NATO allies, has adequate mili
tary forces in being, the commit
ment to act at once will deter
aggression.
This was the original concep
tion of the North Atlantic alli
ance, and there is not the slight
est reason for thinking that this
fundamental guarantee is any
less firm today than it ever was
before. There is no doubt at all
that the United States would go
immediately to war if an aggres
sive attack against the NATO
territory were launched.
-
TTPON this fundamental guar
antee there has been erected
a superstructure not originally
contemplated when the alliance
was formed, consisting of an in
ternational army. The super
structure was added on the as
sumption that if the Soviet un
ion decided for a war of aggres
sion, it would use the Red army
to invade and conquer Western
tary of the Interior Davis and, according to author
Unna, were "promptly promulgated."
In other words here we have the private power
companies telling the government what to do and
what not to do regarding their OWN regulation, in
stead of the government laying down the law to the
private power companies. That surpasses a "give
away," it is abject surrender, reminiscent of the days
of Samuel Insull!
e e e -
rTHERE IS MUCH more to the article, but the above
is all that time and space allow for the present
there will be more later.
We hope all interested in the "give away" issue
and the candidacy of former governor McKay for a
seat in the Senate will read it. R . W. R.
popularity might be thin and
brittle, an artificial product of
political propaganda. The sus
picion was totaUy unfounded.
The President's popularity is
genuine and deep-rooted, and it
will be extraordinarily difficult
for the Democrats to counteract
it
Of the 75 people this reporter
and the expert professional poU
ster, Louis Harris, have inter
viewed in this area, only one
previous Eisenhower voter
showed any signs of defecting.
Eight previous Stevenson voters
had gone over to Eisenhower, or
moved into the "don't know"
category. But these meager sta
tistics are unimpressive. What
was impressive was the way peo
ple talked.
e e
"PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
is a man of peace." We
heard that phrase, or something
like it, again and again. More
over, distasteful as it is for this
reporter to admit, there was vir
tually no feeling that the Eisen
hower peace was insecurely de
fended. One big, jovial woman
on a middle class street said she
had her doubts about the Admin
istration's defense policies, as a
result of listening to Arthur God
frey. But that was all. "Why,
that's the first thing Ike would
think of," another lady said, and
she spoke for the vast majority.
Prosperity, unlike peace, is a
negative Eisenhower asset. Not
many people feel better off than
they did in 1952. But they do
not feel worse off, and it is clear
when you talk to them that many
expected to, under a Republi
can administration.
rpHE President has a third, and
- rather astonishing, political
asset his heart attack. A good

Tomorrow
Lippmann
Germany, the Low Countries,
Scandinavia and France. This
assumption was adopted before
the Soviet Union had developed
serious nuclear power of its
own. It was adopted in the days
when the main military instru
ment of the Soviet Union was its
infantry.
On this assumption, 'which
was most strongly held in the
bad days of the Korean war, the
NATO powers decided to build
up a large European army which
was to include strong West Ger
man forces. The troubles of
NATO have been almost whol
ly concerned with this army su
perstructure. Insofar as there are signs of
disintegration in NATO, it is a
disintegration of the plans for
this superstructure. Neither the
French nor the Germans, the na
tions presumably most interest
ed in the NATO army, seem to
be taking it very seriously,
e
TT IS often said that their lack
of interest is due to the wiles
and guiles of the new softer So
viet tactics. This is, I think, a
superficial explanation. The real
explanation is that there are
few people left in France and in
West Germany, or indeed any
where, who think that World
War III could take the form of
an attempt to invade Western
Europe. It is not that the West
ern nations have been lulled into
thinking that there is no danger
of war. They are very much
afraid of war. But they are
afraid of a different kind of
war. They do not think that the
war they are afraid of will be
begun or will be decided on the
ground in the middle of Europe.
This view is not confined to
the masses of the people, who, it
is often supposed, are beguiled
by the new Soviet propaganda.
The view is general, though not
universal, that invasion by the
Red army is not the real mili
tary problem given the abund
ance of nuclear weapons on both
sides and the nuclear stalemate.
Insofar as there is a lack of in
terest in NATO, it comes from
the top down and derives from
the feeling that the strategical
planning in respect to the
ground forces may be out of
date.
If this is correct, then what
NATO needs first of all is a re
appraisal of its strategical con
cepts. Such a reappraisal will
not impair, indeed it would re
inforce, the fundamental guar
antee which is the heart of the
matter.

A big new Air Force-Navy
base will be built near Wood

Salem, not far away, records the

Young wife and mother: "I un
derstand the planes make a lot
of noise."
Unmarried young woman: "I
hear there will be 1,500 airmen

Frank Carter, chief of police
at Jacksonville, last week was
observed chasing an outsider
down the streets of Jackson
ville, amid the barking of dogs,
the jeering of youngsters, and
the snickers of adult bystand
ers. The chief never did catch
up with his prey a whit
mule which disappeared some
where in the vicinity of
"Mom's Hide-Away."
Long words department: We
always thought that antidisesta
blishmentarianism was the lone-
est word in the English language
until last year, when a discern
ing staff member (no longer in
to vote for the President rather
as one might send flowers to a
sick friend, to cheer him up. We
were unable to find a single per
son who had 'decided to vote
against the President because of
his health. And the heart attack
has clearly made a real human
being of the President, in a way
that no other political personal
ity is real and human.
That is what the Stevenson
candidacy seems to lack a sense
of the reality and human-ness of
the man. Stevenson was- quite
right when he complained, after
the Minnesota primaries, of a
"failure to communicate." As one
Democrat put it, "Stevenson just
doesn't stand for anything any
more. He talks with that big
vocabulary but it doesn't make
any sense any more:"
OF COURSE there are plenty
of Stevenson supporters and
even enthusiasts particularly
among the Negro voters, among
whom Stevenson is miles out in
front of both President Eisen
hower and Senator Estes Ke
fauver. ("Are you against Ke-
fauver because he's a southern
er?" we asked one big, genial
Negro lady. "Amen," she re
plied fervently).
But outside the Negro areas,
even in the heavily Democratic
precincts, we repeatedly ran
across a curious and inexplicable
hostility towards Stevenson. "I
just don't go for that Adlai,
people would say.
There was some spotty enthus
iasm for Kefauver ("He's the
only honest one, aU the rest are
crooks"). But it seemed clear
that no Democratic candidate
had even begun to light a fire in
the land. .
If one may be permitted to
draw a large conclusion from a
tiny sampling of the way the
voters talk, it is this: Something
big and important and dramatic,
either here or abroad, is going
to have to happen to change the
situation, if the Democrats are
to have a ghost of a chance of
recapturing the White House In
November.

Question for today:
What makes towns tick?
TN AN effort to answer that
4UCSUUU, JGbB ,bUh VTAbU
Washington, the nation's capital
and now one of its BIG cities. -
Politics makes Washington
tick. It hasn't much else. There
is no heavy industry and very
little industry of any kind. It is
one of the nation's Treat rail
road centers, but industry has
little, if anything, to do with
that. For strategic reasons it has
always been considered essential
to keep Washington in direct
rail connection with all the rest
of the country.
Much of this thinking, it
should be added, got its start in
the years immediately preceding
the Civil War. .
MOST great cities are accur
ately informed regarding
the industries that keep them go
ing. I'd like to go on record here
with a personal opinion to the
effect that Washington is an ex
ception to this rule.
Politics is Washington's life-
blood. But Washington, it seems
to me, is completely insulated
from the REAL political think
ing of our country. The poli
ticians who have their habitat
here are so immersed in the bus
iness of staying in power that
they give little thought to what
our midst, alas) came up with
floccinaucinih ilipilifica
tion, which is one letter longer.

It is their conviction that the

of them are sure that the way
to get the farm vote is to buy

tick?
YOU'LL be surprised at this
statement, - but it is sub

itself has little heavy industry.
That is concentrated In the big
industrial centers that surround
the city. The garment Industry
is New York's biggest and
there it really shines. But the
garment industry isn't a heavy
industry. It isn't carried on in
big factories.- It carries on for
the most part in lofts in the mid

But they are numerous.
Among other reasons, there

which is so jam-packed with peo

Deetz Band-Wagon
To the Editor: In these days
when we are letting the Reds
steadily win here and around th
world, it is time we put AMER
ICANS in power in Washington.
Such a man is Elmer Deetz, can
didate for the U. S. Senate.
As all Oregon knows, Mr.
Deetz is the man who smashed
the milk trust in Oregon and
lowered the price of milK in a
one-man fight that electrified the -nation.
There have been some polls
taken by party leaders which
show Mr. Deetz as the strongest
candidate.
It is time that the Party should
understand that Mr. Deetz is its
only sure vote-winner that be
is the only man whom most of
the voters trust.
Mr. Deetz may not talk like
a college professor, but he talks
a language all people understand
the language of action the
language of AMERICANISM.
He is not a politician bargain
ing his soul and his country
away to little selfish groups for
votes. He doesn't have to. He
knows the great patriotic ma
jority are for him because he
is for them with every ounce of
his being.
The masses of the people
swear by him, for Deetz is the
champion of the common man.
And the people know it. They
have had a taste of him and they
are going for him like a starving
man grabbing for a jug of milk.
Mr. Deetz favors acting on the
Hoover Commission report to cut
out the gigantic waste and inef
ficiency of the Federal Bureau

NEW YORK is a huge banking,
insurance and shipping cen
ter. It FINANCES Industry
throughout the East. It moves a
lot of industry's products onto
ships. Banking, insurance and
shipping employ a lot of people.
They're highly important.
II7HAT Tm really leading up to
" here is the seemingly silly
statement that the TOURIST in
dustry is probably New York's
most important resource.
Tourists come to New York
from all over America and from
all over the world. They come
with WADS of money. And they
SPEND it They spend it far
more freely than they spend it
at home.
That makes for VELOCITY of
money. The dollar that moves
fast does more work than the
dollar that stands still. Money
certainly MOVES in New York.
If you doubt that, take note of
the money in your pocket the
next time you come to the Big
Town. It will move out of your
pocket FAST.
ONE other thing about New
York. People here, as else
where, live by taking in each
other's washing. People here, as
elsewhere, DO BUSINESS WITH
EACH OTHER. There are mil
lions of them here, and that, in
itself, makes a lot of business.
That's one reason why our big
cities keep getting bigger. There
are so many people in them, to
do business with each other to
keep sending out their washing
for each other to do.
