C, that President Eisenhower did not accept Secretary of the Interior McKay's resignation with such alacrity solely because he believed he was so "sure-fire" to defeat Wayne Morse. The President also opposed retaining him in the administration, for he believed him and his "Give-Away" record to be a definite political liability. In other words while the President and his advisers did believe Secretary McKay to be the logical oppon ent for Morse, they would not have exerted so much pressure and so suddenly, had they not believed also the sooner they got rid of McKay as a member of the administration, the better for their 1956 campaign. 'IXT'E HAVE been given no absolute proof this is cor rect. But from the first we suspected it. And we fiimly believe that if the administration had really wanted Mr. McKay and his "give-away" doctrine retained, "Dear Doug" would still be having his pic ture taken with that most august body, the cabinet. e a COMPARING the records of Secretary McKay and that of his successor, strengthens this assump tion. For if the President had searched his party for an anti-McKay type, he could scarcely have been more successful than his choice of ex-Senator Seaton of Nebraska. Here we have the GOP antipodes politically speaking McKay the Ultra Conservative, Seaton the Genuine Liberal ; McKay the Big Business worshipper who believes and we think sincerely that what is best for General Motors IS best for the country; and the "Gentleman from Nebraska" a public power state, who believes that what is best for the country should come first. IT WAS rather pathetic in fact when the Seaton ap- pointment was announced to hear that still small voice from Salem claim that the appointment was a confirmation of Secretary McKay's views and record. The only evidence presented was the Seaton en dorsement of the power - partnership plan. But former Senator Seaton did not endorse it as a ruse to block public power development for he believes in public power, he only gave his ok when public power was im possible or impractical either for financial or engin eering reasons. Quite a difference! e e e A FEW of the important issues involved in the ad- ministration of the Interior Department show a similar fundamental difference. Tidelands oil for example. This notorious "give away" of billions to 3 or 4 states and passed on (by lease) to half a dozen of the largest oil operators, when it should have gone to the people of the country as a whole. Secretary McKay was for this deal 100, while Senator Seaton spoke and voted against it. Mr. Seaton also was for Alaska statehood, which Secretary of the Interior refused to favor. He likewise was in favor of Niagara Falls power development by the state of New York, McKay, of course, wasn't. TN SHORT the administration of the Interior De- partment under Secretary Seaton regarding oil and timber conservation, public vs. private power, wild life development, Indian lands administration, etc., etc., practically everything of importance but the single item of partnership-power, promises to be as different from that of former Secretary McKay as black is from white. ' Whether it is literally true or not, that one of the main reasons for selecting Secretary McKay to take on Senator Morse in the Fall, was to get rid of a definite political liability we don't know, but there can be no denial that the selection of the former Senator from Nebraska was and is a complete repudiation of the basic political philosophy of his predecessor. Finally lend an ear to this, quote: "The Republican party must be a positive party . . . We Republicans will find success in the solid middle ground be tween a spendthrift left and reactionary right ... It does us no good whatever at the polls to cry 'socialism' every time a measure is offered to combat or correct an evil . . . Cer tainly it is not socialism to abolish the sweatshop, to regulate hours and put a floor under wages. Neither is it socialism to regulate the stock exchange or the dealings in agricul tural commodities, to assure the farmer of parity between the prices of what he sells and the prices of what he must buy. Nor is it socialism to conserve our natural resources, to build dams for flood control, for irrigation, and for elec tric power, or to bring electricity to the farmers . . ." Shut your eyes and try to imagine that being part of a speech ever delivered by former Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay. Hard to do? Exactly. But it is an extract from a speech delivered by his successor in Topeka, Kansas when he was a member of the U.S. Senate ! R.W.R. Labor Heads Gather To Washington (U.R) Tha AFL-CIO top command gathered today for possibly week long talks on a series of thorny prob lems including whether to en dorse a presidential candidate. The 29-member AFL-CIO Ex ecutive Council scheduled the first of the top level talks as the AFL and CIO completed their first six months as a merged union. Both national labor organiza tions endorsed Democratic pres idential nominee Adlai E. Stev enson in 1952. But both AFL CIO President George Meany and AFL-CIO Vice - President Walter Reuther, former CIO president, have criticized both the Republicans and Democrats this year. The Executive Council will Tuesday. June S, 195B Discuss Problems consider the possibility of call ing a special convention of dele gates for the purpose of endors ing a presidential candidate this year. The delegates would rep resent the AFL-CIO's 16 million members. 'Work Do Called For Antioeh Cemetery Mrs. Belle Loftin was elected to the board of directors of the Antioeh cemetery association at a recent meeting. J. W. Bigham was reelected chairman of the board.

Important Developments Seen Forthcoming in Cyprus Dispute By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent There may be some important developments soon in the Cy prus situation. Great Britain is now review s'! ine its policy on the Mediter ranean island, which it has made its prin cipal military base in the Middle East. It seems to be 1 n c r e asingly likely that out Charles Metana review will come new proposals for ne gotiations on the future of Cy prus. These negotiations, it is indi cated, would involve Britain, Greece, Turkey and the Greek Cypriot islanders who demand that Britain hand over Cyprus to Greece. It is indicated also that the United States be invited to play a part as a friendly observer. Negotiations on Cyprus have been suspended since early in March, when talks between Britain and Greek Orthodox Catholic Archbishop Makarios, the Cypriot Nationalist leader, broke down. Force With Force Since then Britain has em barked on a policy of meeting force with force. Archbishop Makarios has been deported to the Seychelles islands in the Indian ocean, ac cused of direct complicity in Greek Cypriot violence. Two rebels have been hanged. But violence has continued. Greece is bitterly angry over California Primary Today Seen As End For Adlai or Estes Washington, D.C. Now comes the Big One. Preferential primary elections to date have clearly identified the two men now leading for the Democratic presidential nomination. Today's primary in California is expect ed to put one or the other of them out of the race. There is no guarantee, however, that the winner In California wiU finally be named as the party's standard bearer. s The close division of the popu lar vote in Florida last Tuesday 51 per cent for Stevenson, 49 per cent for Kefauvcr left the race still wide open. An Associated Press summary after the Florida primary showed that Stevenson had 174 pledged and committed conven tion votes to 133 for Kefauver. But there will be 1,372 votes in the Chicago convention and 686 'i are needed for nomina tion. 68 Convention Votes At stake in California are 68 votes in the Democratic conven tion. The primary there is the last of five in which Stevenson and Kefauver have met head on, with both names on the ballot. Each aspirant has campaigned long and vigorously in the Gold en State. Perhaps the trickiest element in trying to guess 'the California result is the relative appeal of Stevenson and Kefauver to the state's senior citizens. The Ten nessee Senator has the backing of the California Institute of So cial Welfare, generally consid ered the most powerful old age pension organization in the state. But for what it's worth as an omen, Stevenson ran surprising ly well in the Gulf Coast areas of Florida where many oldsters have gone to retire. Civil Rights Issue Civil rights early became an issue in California. Kefauver in Fresno on Feb. 4 departed from a prepared text to declare him self against racial bias and for a federal law against "mob ac tion." As for the Supreme Court ruling on schools, it was "the duty of public officials and the President to uphold . . . and de fend the Constitution. Several Negro leaders swung over to Kefauver after a secret meeting in Fresno. He conspicuously spurned the anti-integration "manifesto" issued by Southern members of Congress in March. Stevenson may have been hurt by his advocacy of gradual ism in school desegregation. But his backers in California have been pointing out that in 1940 Kefauver voted against an anti lynching biU; in 1949 for a re vision of the Senate cloture rule which was supported by South ern Democrats. They have been telling the voters that in 1950 Kefauver had opposed the Tru man administration program on integration in the armed forces; in 1948 he had opposed a com pulsory Fair Employment Prac tice Act. Stevenson has most of the pro's among California Demo crats on his side. But the state wide Democratic organization can hardly be called highly ef fective. Despite a heavy pull in voters registrations about 3 to 2 at present the Democrats hold neither of the state's two seats in the Senate, only 11 of the 30 California seats in the House. Editorial Research Reports. -v4 ft the deportation of Makarios and the execution of the rebels. Greek Foreign Minister Spy ros Theotokis has been forced to resign because of accusations that he took a lukewarm attitude toward the demand that Britain give -up Cyprus. There have been serious riots between Greek Cypriots, who make up 80 per cent of the island's 500,000 population, and Turkish Cypriots who make up the other 20 per cent. Turkey is showing increasing interest in the situation. It says that the rights of the Turkish minority must be fully safe guarded in any settlement. It Matter of Fact sy stewan ai$oP MR. SHEPILOV Washington Now that V.M. Molotov's head has been offered to Marshall Tito on a platter. the name of Dmitri Shepi lov, Molotov's sue cessor as Soviet Foreign Minis ter, is certain to be come sadly f a m i 1 iar to news paper Stewart aisod may inus oe worth recalling an interview this reporter had with Shepilov in Moscow last summer. The interview took place in a big room in the plant of "Pravda" the Communist party newspaper, of which Shepilov was editor until last week. This reporter and William Worthy of the "Baltimore Afro-American" were ushered into a long, brown ish, dark room, fustily dreary in the indescribable Soviet manner, decorated with the inevitable huge, heroic pictures of Lenin and Stalin (one wonders if Sta lin's picture is still on the waU). AT ONE end of a long table sat Shepilov. He is a very big man about six foot three with a tired, handsome, strong face, tousled greying hair, and huge, hamlike hands. He was flanked by two younger men, one of them an English - speaking "Pravda" reporter. Their man ner towards him was all obse quiousness. They laughed when he laughed, a little louder, and when a tactlessly inconvenient question was asked, the English- speaking Teporter would inter pret it to Shepilov with a de precatory, half - embarrassed grimace, as though to remind the boss that the question was none of his making. That was the first impression of Shepilov that he is a born boss, a hard-driving, ruthless, fiercely ambitious, highly intel ligent, immensely able man. The interview started with the ob vious (fuestion was it true that Shepilov was slated to replace Molotov as Foreign Minister. . THE question was interpreted with a special, smirking ob sequiousness, and it obviously angered Shepilov such delicate matters are not publicly dis cussed in the Soviet Union. The talk about his becoming Foreign Minister was "nonsense," he said, "the usual irresponsible speculation in the foreign press." On this frosty note the inter view began. It lasted for two hours, perhaps three. It quickly became apparent that , no real news would result Shepilov brushed off aU questions about the forthcoming Geneva confer ence and other matters of cur rent interest. So this reporter tried, instead, to sense the an swer to a single question. Did this coming man, representing the new, upsurging generation which had never known any thing but Soviet life, really be lieve the rigid doctrines of the regime he served? The long interview was a curi ously baffling experience. Some times in the Soviet Union, in a chance encounter at a restau rant or while traveling, it is pos sible to make contact with a hu man being, and to sense, even across the language barrier, a personal and individual re sponse. But aside from that just buU flash of anger, talking to Shepilov as to any high Soviet official, was a wholly automatic experience. mm YOU ask your question and back comes the answer, as predictable and impersonal as though you had dialed for the time or the weather on the tele phone. Did Mr. Shepilov agree with Lenin that a "series of fearful clashes" must occur between the Capitalist and Communist worlds? "It is inevitable as night follows day that the Capitalist system wiU be replaced by the Socialist system." Did Mr. Shepilov agree with Mr. Malenkov that nuclear war might destroy civilization. "Civ ilization will not die. Instead, the more bases the Americans establish, the more quickly will capitalism die, because the peo ple will rise against American inperialism." And so on. In one way, the In terview was a futile experience, since it would have been simpler to get the current party line from the pages of "Pravda." But it was useful in another way. For, as the automatic, predi- gested responses followed each H "t " ' says also that if Britain gives up Cyprus, Turkey must have it. It seems prepared to back up its position with force if necessary. It looks, on the surface, as if there is an almost hopeless stalemate. Demands Policy Review But for some weeks now, there have been growing de mands in Britain, in which some of Prime Minister Anthony Eden's conservatives join, for a review of Cyprus policy. v The review seems to be what might be called a positive one. That is, that Eden intends to find a new approach to the whole situation. . other, over vodka and wine and' delicious fruit, this reporter be came more and more certain that Shepilov really and deeply be lieved what he was saying. HE REALLY and deeply be lieves that the Soviet system and the American system are in herently and totaUy hostile, and that the only possible outcome must be and will be the utter de struction of the American sys tem. He will take this convic tion, which he shares with all the Soviet leaders, into his new role as Foreign Minister, and it will be the base line from which he operates. In this era of the Soviet smile, when hopeful voices are being raised that a true peace settle ment may be reached with the new Soviet regime, it is worth while occasionaUy reminding oneself of that fact.

The wrecking of fine old homes whose workmanship is not and likely cannot be duplicated by today s builders, is grievous in deed. But such costs and penal ties, hard to bear as they be, are actually secondary ones. The main concern, which has come to my attention but once in the M-T, is that of our health. The lethal gases, including deadly monoxides, from the exhausts of car and truck, is heavier than air. Seeking the lowest levels it is blamed by tests now being conducted for the rising inci dence of respiratory ailments and lung-cancer. Drastic laws are being studied to keep auto motive equipment off the city center streets of our larger cit ies, especially during the many windless days of late summer and fall when smog becomes a real issue. Neither our local planning commission nor state highway officials seem to have given any comment to this part ot the prob lem, which would rule out both the Genessee and Bear Creek routes. Surely, the health of peo ple is not going to be measured against the price of pears or any other commodity? There , were hopes that the trackless trolley would solve the growmg vehicle exhaust gas problem. But they seem to have as hard a time of survival as other means of mass-transporta tion. So, a letter was mailed to the Ford Motor Co. at Dearborn, Mich., suggesting the manufac turing revival of the battery- driven town car, a three-wheeled vehicle carrying two passengers and power applied to the steer ing front wheel, which would be able to park two where one gas burner parks now. A coin-ln-the-meter plug-in would allow the batteries to be recharged. The low speed of these small vehicles would eliminate much of the city traffic accidents, and all of the gas menace in proportion to their numbers. Fords answer was about the same as the two word turndown of the west-side freeway suggestion by the state highway commission. But it is my prediction that the battery- driven town car will soon be a reality, a most necessary one. F. J. Clifford 1211 West Main St. Medford, Ore.

At the same time, federal grants paid o individuals over the last three years only added up to one-third as much as was paid out during the four Truman years. These and other facts concern ing grants-in-aid were revealed in. Congressional Quarterly's an nual survey of federal grants and their distribution among the states. The survey showed that total grants, which averaged $5,000, 000,000 a year during the 1949- 52 period, dropped to $4,100,- 000,000 in fiscal 1953, then climbed to $4,300,000,000 in 1954 and $4,600,000,000 in 1955. Budget estimates indicate grants will total more than $5,000,000,- 000 for 1956 by the end of the fiscal year June 30. Crants to state and local gov ernments, which totaled more than $8,700,000,000 in the Tru- jnan administration's 1949-52 pe riod, amounted to slightly less than $9,000,000,000 m the fiscal 1953-55 period of the Eisenhow er administration. Grants to in dividuals dropped from an $11, 400,000,000 total in the 1949-52 period to $3,900,000,000 in 1953-55. All signs point to further in creases in the years ahead. Pas sage of pending federal high way and school construction legislation would add several hundred million dollars a year to the sums turned back to the states in the form of grants. In the 1949-52 period, grants averaged 10 per cent of all fed eral tax collections. This ratio fell to 6 per cent in 1953 and 1954, then rose to 7 per cent in 1955 when tax cuts lowered to tal collections. In all probability the ratio will remain at 7 per cent in 1956, since tax collec tions as well as grants are ris ing. Treasury figures for fiscal 1955, just released, show that the Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare alone dis tributed nearly $1,900,000,000 in grants, or 40 per cent of the $4,600,000,000 total. Largest of HEW's grant programs was old age assistance, which amounted to $920,000,000. Another $388, 000,000 went to the states as aid to dependent children. VA Payments Big Second largest federal grants-in-aid program was the Veter ans' administration's readjust- m e n t benefits $680,000,000. That sum topped the $670,000, 000 distributed by the Depart ment of Agriculture under a doz en programs. Grants of $595,- 000,000 for highway construe tion, administered by the Com merce department, took third place. Thus, grants for old age. dependent children, veterans and highways added up to about $2,600,000,000 or 56 per cent of the $4,600,000,000 distributed under 92 different programs. California led all states in the allocation of grants, with a total of $396,000,000. Five programs accounted for 70 per cent of that total: old age assistance, $113,- 000,000; veterans' benefits, $58, 000,000; aid to dependent chil dren, $43,000,000; highways, $39,000,000, and emergency school construction, $25,000,000. These sums placed California first among the states in grants for old ags, veterans and schools and second (after New York) in grants for dependent children and highways. Next in order of total grants were New York, $316,000,000: Texas, $273,000,000; Pennsylva nia, $212,000,000 and niinois. $173,000,000. With 30 per cent of the nation's estimated 1955 population, the five leading states got 30 per cent of all the grants-in-aid. While federal grants often are distributed to states on a match ing basis, to meet jointly the costs of what are considered es sential programs, allocations vary widely in terms of the re sources and needs of individual states. Thus, while the grants amounted to' only 7 per cent of federal tax collections national ly, in Mississippi where taxes came to $139,000,000, total grants of $86,000,000 amounted to 62 per cent of collections. Only IS of the 48 states paid proportionately more in taxes than they received in the form of federal grants-in-aid. Lead ing taxpayer was New York, which contributed $12,700,000,- 000 or 19 per cent of total fed eral tax collections of $66,800, 000,000 in fiscal 1955. Grants of $316,000,000 to New York amounted to only 7 per cent of all federal grants. By contrast, the 13 southern states, with 27 per cent of the nation's population, together collected $1,500,000,000 in grants or 33 per cent of the to tal, while paying in $10,100,000, 000 in federal taxes or 15 per cent of the total. $28 Per Person On a per capita basis, grants averaged $28 per person nation w i d e. Wyoming's allocation however, amounted to $88 per capita, highest in the nation. Reason for this was that Wyo ming received $8,000,000 of the $22,000,000 distributed as shar ed revenues under the Mineral Leasing act. This was almost one-third of Wyoming's total al location of $27,000,000 in grants. Six other states received grants which amounted to $50 or more per capita. They were Nevada, $60; New Mexico, 58; Idaho, $56; Oklahoma, $56; Mon tana, $52; and Colorado, $50. Although sparsely settled, the western states nevertheless re ceived proportionately large highway construction grants. Lowest per capita allocation was New Jersey's $14. Other states with less than $20: Indi ana and Connecticut, $17; Illi nois, Maryland and Ohio, $18; Michigan and Pennsylvania, $19. (Copyright, 15. Congressional Quarterly) Oregon's Payments Of Federal brants Above U.S. Average Washington (CQ) Feder al grants-in-aid to state and local governments and to in dividuals in Oregon added up to $64,977,000 in fiscal 1955. With en estimated stale popu latlon of 1.689.000, this amounted to $39 per capita, in contrast with a national per capita of $28. In the preceding year, fiscal 1954, federal grants to this state totaled $59,424,000; in fiscal 1953. $56,185,000. and in the four-year 1949-52 pe riod an average oi $58,310,000. Federal tax collections in Oregon in fiscal 1955 totaled $429,231,000. This amounted to .6 per cent of total federal tax collections of $66,300,000, 000. By contrast, the state's share of total grants of $4, 600,000,000 was 1.4 per cent. Only 13 of the 48 states paid a larger share of federal taxes than they received of federal grants. Grants distributed in Ore gon under Department of Ag riculture programs totaled $10,709,000. Of this sum $lv 511,000 was for conservation. Health. Education and Wel fare programs contributed a total of $15,452,000. Of this total, old age . assistance ac counted for $7,825,000. aid to dependent children another $3,072,000. Other major grant allot ments to Oregon included $9. 024,000 for highway construc tion; $2,254,000 and $1,155. 000 for regular and veterans unemployment compensation programs and $5,720,000 for veterans' readjustment bene fits.
