MAIL TRIBUNE Alsop Pessimism We frequently hear complaints that the Alsop Brothers are incureable pessimists and should lighten up their column with a little sunshine now and then, or quit. We grant the Alsop Brothers are inclined to take a rather dim view of the future as far as the demo cratic world is concerned. But if we had to choose between undue pessimism and undue optimism at this time we would prefer the former. ITOR WE believe the danger of complacency as a result of apathy and a refusal to face facts realis tically, is far greater than any harm that could come from being a bit of a bear on Uncle Sam's present pros pects particularly in the cold war with Russia. Moreover if anyone wishes to do some extensive research and check the Alsop Brothers predictions with later developments, we believe they will find their batting: average considerably over the 300 mark. Joseph Alsop after his and western Europe sees a hard row ahead tor jnaiu with France practically out of it, and Britain seriously concerned about the financial strain of remaining in it ITTHOUT these two countries Uncle Sam would be holding the sack and in all likelihood NATO would soon go "where the keeps. Something may come aster. But we regard it as credit for the Alsops to recognize the seriousness 01 the situation, and come out to solve the problem by ignoring it. R.W.R. "Coat Tails'' NOT the Issue In my opinion, there is no more liberal-minded Member of this body today than Wayne Morse. There is no greater student of constitutional law. No man has concerned himself , more fully, or with greater effectiveness, with legislative procedures and legislative traditions, than has Wayne Morse. No man has fought harder or more continuously and constructively for human liberty, for equality and justice for all men and women, regardless of race, color, or creed, and for the dignity of the individal, than has Wayne Morse. I am very glad indeed that Wayne Morse will be here for the next 6 years, as I have no doubt of his reelection to the United States Senate. He will continue to serve his State and the Nation with great devotion, and with unusual effectiveness, as he has served for the past many years in the United States Senate. " That is an extract from a tribute to Oregon's senior Senator by his friend and colleague Senator Lehman of New York. The occasion was the news of Senator Morse's vic tory in the recent primary. Similar tributes extolling more specifically Sena tor Morse's outstanding legal ability, tireless energy and devotion to basic democratic principles were giv en by Senators Douglas of Illinois, Anderson of New Mexico, and Humphrey of Minnesota. One might add the tributes were well deserved. IN FACT we think it would be a pious idea if Douglas McKay instead of trying so desperately to ride into the Senate on the President's coat-tails would devote some of his time to the record of the man he hopes to replace. That in the past has been the usual procedure. That record is plain. that benator Morse changed his party label or dared to criticize his former leader when he believed him wrong but what principles and policies he supported during his 2 terms, so the voters of the state, regard less of partisanship, may decide whether they wish such a record sustained or repudiated. The more they know about the Morse principles and policies, the more carefully they analyze them, this department is certain the more determined they will be to oppose their abandonment R.W.R. No "Give Away?" The Bend Bulletin can see nothing to criticize in the Tidelands Oil bill. In fact instead of it being a "give away" it was a most proftitable investment for the United States, the government having received $200,000,000 in royalties in 3 years or slightly less than $70,000,000 per year. Before the Bulletin celebrates the demise of the "give away" charge and the liquidation of the na tional debt via oil royalties it might be wise to figure out how many millions the four states of California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida received through the passage of this measure which nullified the decision of the Supreme Court that the government had a para mount interest in the tidelands oil. e e e e 1MOREOVER as far as the political angle is con cerned it should be noted that but for an amend ment to the bill brought forward and passed by the Democrats even these royalties from oil found beyond the 3 mile limit would have been denied the govern ment. The point in this particular controversy is not what, the government now gets thanks to the last minute amendment of the tidelands oil bill but what the American people including the people of Ore gon would have received had the Supreme Court been upheld and the "give-away" measure had never been passed.

In India, up border, Prime Minister Jawa- harlal Nehru's army is fight ing the primi tive Naga hill Charles McCann irirjesmen wno demand an independent state. More than 200 persons have been killed in recent months in demonstrations in big Indian cities against Nehru's plan to reorganize the country's system of states. In Partial Control In Indonesia, rebels control parts of Java, the main island; Sumatra, and the Molucca and Celebes island groups. In Burma, the government has been trying unsuccessfully for eight years to suppress organ ized rebels who are operating within a few miles of Rangoon, the capital. In Ceylon, 12 persons were reported killed last week in riots called to protest Premier Solomon Bandarnaike's plan to make Sinhalese the country's sole official language. The disturbances all stem from World War II and the Editorial Comment A PLEA FOR LIFE JACKETS This is the beginning of the dangerous season of the year when people fish more, swim, boat, water ski, and limber up unused muscles. The result is that some drown and some get battered up. Linn county has been lucky so far. There have been no rec reational deaths. But areas just to the north and south have had drownings already this season Two men drowned last week in the lake above Lookout Point dam. Their boat overturn ed while fishing. They weren't wearmg life jackets. It's a rare person who can stay afloat while clothed, es pecially in cold water. Some people consider life jackets cricket only for women and kids. But jackets are re quired by law in motor boats and they're just plain common sense. Coast Guardsmen always wear them when in small boats, they are accomplished swim mers and boatmen. Jackets are cheap and they no longer are bulky. Besides, they keep you warm. Albany Democrat-Herald. A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW AND THEN Commenting on the election the Oregon Voter takes a sly dig at Charles A. Sprague. em inent editor of The Statesman, Salem, who was first in the state to espouse the cause of Phil Hitchcock in the race for the GOP nomination as " the man to beat Morse." The Voter says: "No doubt some of the editor ial drift away from McKay was due to ... the Statesman which may have influenced those ed itors who followed ex-Governor Charles A. Sprague. Some of those editors must feel 'let down' by the Salem editor and doubtful of his understanding of the rank and file party philos ophy. For several years it has appeared the ex - governor, through the Statesman, has spo ken somewhat like an oracle from Republicanism . . . The ex governor was not the oracle in this instance even for the voters of his own county ..." We recommend the Voter for this year's blue ribbon for driv el. The Courier cannot speak for any other editors. We can say truthfully that we have never tried to guess what the voters might do as the guide for an editorial opinion or recom mendation. We don't give a tinker's damn whether we are on the winning or losing side. Ex-Eugene Paper Publisher Passes Eugene (U.PJ Joseph H. Koke, a former newspaper pub lisher here and a partner in the Koke-Chapman Printing comp any, died yesterday at the age of 7S. Koke was a co-owner of the old Eugene Morning News dur ing the 1930s and was long ac tive in community and commer cial affairs. He was a past president of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, the Lane County Credit assoc iation and the Security Savings and Loan Association. SCREEN ATTRACTION Indianapolis (U.R) Week end patrons at a drive-in movie heard some sounds not on the sound track when fire engines rolled up to put out a blaze in the screen. The flames were ex tinguished and the show, "Day of Fury," went on. Marks Southeast surge of nationalism which brought independence to the four countries concerned.. Soma Represent Resentment Ironically, some of them at least represent resentment by large sections of the people against "colonialism" by the same neutralist leaders who de nounce colonialism by the West ern powers. Nehru's Naga hillmen, for in stance, want a state of their own. The hillmen are a back ward people, and proud of it. They like to fight, usually with bow and arrow. They go out on head - hunting expeditions and spend their leisure time drink ing. Nehru put the hillmen under the Assam state government, which tried to ban head-hunting and drinking. A rebellion resulted. Nehru sent the Indian army against the tribesmen in mid-April after Assam state forces failed to sup press them. Raiding Persists The army seems to have had little success. More than 100 tribesmen have been killed. But they still sweep down on vil lages and ambush military col umns. They are now armed with automatic weapons, which they found in depots abandoned by British forces at the end of the war. Occasional reports come from Indonesia of the various rebel movements there. These move ments are all aimed against the We prefer to think that most of the brethren are equally indif ferent to "what others think" in their recommendations. And Brother, you can put it deep down in your pipe that we are not a bit impressed with the type of so-called leadership that manipulated McKay's last min- ute entry after McKay himself had given Hitchcock to under stand he didn't want to run. The Voter betrays a lament able ignorance of political par ties in general and of the Re publican party in particular, if it assumes that all who come under its banners accept one creed or any single interpreta tion of "the gospels." And the Voter is NOT rendering McKay any help when it sneers at Sprague who lifted the Re publican party in Oregon out of the ditch into which Joe Dunne et als drove it in 1934. If we were at all interested in "an oracle," we would certainly prefer Charlie Sprague to many we can think of. Port Umpqua Courier, Reedsporz.

The sugges tion sounds fantastic, but so did the idea of an Atlantic cable, when it was first proposed. Someway, Somehow, Californi ans are still scheming to get Ore gon's good water supply. Don't think people take these sugges tions lightly. Is Oregon going to lock the barn door after the horse is gone? I'm living in California for the time being, but I'm still an Ore gonian at heart. I would hate to see the time when water-hungry California taps Oregon streams, depriving Oregon of it's most valuable heritage. Carma McCarty, 690 Lincoln St., El Cajon, Calif. Editor's note: Excerpts from the letter mentioned above fol low: Editor: I see by the papers that, if we wait 20 years and spend $1,500100,000 we will be eligible for some Feather River water. Somehow I don't have much stomach for this plan. Being, a part-time inventor, I should like to present what pos sibly is a new water plan. My plan would lean heavily on the word surplus. To carry it out, we'd need two average surplus aircraft carriers, one surplus government syn thetic rubber plant and thou sands of bales of surplus cotton. The aircraft carriers would be converted into factories to manu facture, say, a three-foot-diameter hose. " The carriers would fabricate, vulcanize and lay this hose on the ocean floor, much like a cable-laying ship. If each carrier would vulcan ize and lay from one to two miles of tubing per day, in a relative ly short time they could be at the Oregon border, where we could easily get water. There would be no right of way to buy, rock mountains to bore, mountain ranges over which to pump the water, and ditches to dig, line, fence and bridge. Yours, for a good drink of wa ter in our lifetime. central government by groups which want independent states. In the Moluccas, the rebels long ago set up their own republic. They maintain a headquarters in New York, seeking United Nations support. In both Indonesia and Burma, there are strong Communist par ties. Communists dominate the Indonesia labor unions. In Bur ma, the Communists tripled their representation in "parlia ment in the recent elections. They won 42 seats out of 250 in the April 27 election. All the rebel movements, and the riots, may be attributed to growing pains incident to inde pendence. But it looks as if the pains will persist for a long time. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS If enough signatures are ob tained on initiative petitions that are now in circulation the people of Oregon will vote this fall on a proposal to reapportion the Oregon legislature oh what is known as the federal plan. Under this plan, each county would have one senator. Mem bership in the house of repre sentatives would be apportioned according to population. That follows the pattern of the U.S. congress in which each state has two senators and as many mem bers of the house of represents tives as its population entitles it to under the formula established in the constitution. As of now, membership in both houses of the Oregon legis lature is apportioned according to population. VITHY change the present sys- " tem? " That question was answered in 1789, when the constitutional convention assembled in Phila delphia to write our national constitution. Virginia had plan under which members of both the houses of congress would have been elected on population basis. The smaller colonies objected. They said that would give the larger colonies complete control of the congress. The debate went on for weeks until Benjamin Franklin eventually produced the compromise that resulted in the present system of equal rep resentation in the senate and representation according to pop ulation in the house. "OREGON'S present system " could result in exactly the situation that was feared by the smaller colonies. That is to say, its legislature could be dominat ed by a small number of the larger counties of the state. The purpose of the proposed "federal system" measure is to prevent such a situation from arising. T ET"S take a look at the West. Li In general, it has been the U.S. senate that has brought to the West the development it has enjoyed. If the congress of the United States had been appor tioned among the states accord ing to its population, it is prob able that the West would still be a sagebrush area populated chiefly by jackrabbits. Irriga tion and reclamation in the West were at first opposed in the pop ulous Eastern states. It was in the SENATE that they made headway. Under the federal plan, every state has equal representation in the senate. In every battle for Western development, thin-lv-setUed Nevada's voice in the senate is equal to huge New rones voice. That fact had helped im mensely in brineinff develon- ment to the West. T ETS take a close look at the state of Oregon. The situa tion that exists here is not dis similar to that which existed in the United States as a whole a couple of generations ago. Oregon's population is concen trated largely in the Willamette valley. Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon are as yet rela tively thinly populated. In an Oregon legislature whose repre sentation was apportioned in both houses by population only, the Willamette valley could dominate the entire state. That is what was feared by the smaller colonies when the constitutional convention assem bled back in 1789. IDONT want ot intimate that the Willamette valley would be unfair to the rest of Oregon in a legislature so composed. Willamette -valley people have been fair and reasonable. I think they will continue to be fair and reasonable. But in Oregon a legislature controlled in both houses on a population basis is a lopsided af fair. It is to cure this lopsided ness that the' so-called federal plan is being proposed. I hope the petitions, which are being sponsored by the Farm Bureau Federation, get signa tures enough. to get the meas ure on the baUot at the general election in November. Matter of Fact sy iPh ELI'S PLACE El Auja, Palestine At Eli's place, the landscape is positively Uttered with the withered stumps of time. And no wonder, for Eli's place has been a strate gic key point since history began, be cause the two roads out of Egypt join useun Aisop here with the southern road into Israel and because here, incomparably pre cious in this grim, arid Negev Desert, there is a good well. At the moment, U.N. observ ers (for here we are in the theo retically demilitarized zone be tween Israel and Egypt) are housed in the headquarters built for Turkish generals during Je mal Pasha's ill-fated drive on Suez in the 1914 war. But the Turks were a mere episode: Sa- ladin and the Marmelukes, the Romans and Byzantines and Rameses the Great himself have all held and fortified the place. But despite all the ghosts of the past and the U.N. observers of the present, this is still Eli's place and by right of conquest, too. Some time ago, the Egyp tians were the first to send troops into the demilitarized zone. In a brilliant action, the Israelis drove them out. And again because of the crossroads and the weU, and despite heavy U.N. pressure that was recently renewed, the Israelis have stay ed on at El Auja. 17LI, or Eliahu if you give him his full name, is the hand some, wiry 28-year-old Israeli colonel who is in command at El Auja. He looks a pattern sol dier. But talk a while with Eli, Be careful to make allowance for the curiously poetic effects produced by his literal transla tions from his native Hebrew into English. You still find that Eli is a soldier of a rather novel breed. Concerning being Jewish, he says simply, "I once asked my father why he left comfort for hardship when he came to Israel from Germany more than 30 years ago. He told me that he came for reasons that I could never understand as a Jew born in Israel, and that it was for this he came on my behalf. But now I think I do understand, and am grateful. Or concerning the Israeli re sistance movement, which he joined when he was 18, Eli asks amiably, "You have never fought in any underground, have you? Too bad for you, I say. From such experiences, you may learn much of men and war." e e QR CONCERNING the fantas " tically difficult agriculture which the Israelis are attempt ing here in the Negev, he de clares defiantly, "Here there is land. Here men have farmed the land before our time. AU that is needed is water, for where there is water there is life. Remember, in our Israel, the forecasts of the cautious have always been wrong and the hopes of the youth have always been right. So speaks Eli, who has known much hardship and danger. As Congressional Quiz (Copyright, I95S Congressional Quarterly) Q Appropriations bills orig inate in the House of Represen tatives because (a) the Constitu tions says they must: (b) it's been a custom since 1813; (c) President Eisenhower, in, an executive order, said they should? A Ca). Article I. Section 7 of the Constitution says. "All bills for raising revenues shall originate in the House of Rep resentatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills." Q What is a discharge peti tion? A A discharge petition is the method the House has em ployed since 1910 to with draw from a committee a pigeon-holed bill and permit the bill to be considered on the House floor. A discharge motion, or petition, requires 218 signatures before it can be brought up for consideration. , Of 788 discharge petitions filed, only 30 have received the required number of sig natures. Only one bill, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. has been approved via this route. Q Which would you guess recent Congresses have passed more of public laws (those af fecting the general public or a segment of it) or private laws (affecting individuals or corpora tions named in the law?) Private. The 83rd Con gress enacted 781 public laws. 1002 private laws. So far (as of June 5) the 841h Congress has enacted 546 public laws. 681 private laws. if J: he leads you on an inspection trip, you discover the Eli's place is a bit like Eli himself. Its cen ter is Kibbutz Kziot, a rectangle of wooden shacks on a small mound that is' entrenched and mined and guarded and dug about with traps for attackers. A stranger farm no man has ever seen, but this is none the less a new Kibbutz, another- of the remarkable Israeli collective farming communities. At pres ent, the farmers are also mem bers of the Israeli army. Their fields are only a few acres of struggling sorghum, alfalfa and potatoes, that make a tiny aston ishing -green patch in the land scape's uniform dusty brown. Life here will still be cruelly hard, even when the Negev pipe line brings more water for more fields. Yet the lean young men and- jolly, rather unfashionably plump young women of Kibbutz Kziot tell you In matter- of fact tones: Of course we will stay here after our army service. Why not? This is our Kibbutz." e e "IN THE scuffy, painfully irri- gated grass in the Kibbutz center, a mortar team of two boys and two girls is going through the team drill. "It is theirs, so they will fight well for it," says Eli. "But they will not fight alone." And this is quite certainly true, as you soon ief when Eli takes you on a tour of his positions. Nothing but the shooting is wanting to make this the front line of a hard-fought war. Eli's young, tough-looking troops may not have quite the smartness of good peacetime soldiers. But that is because they live as war time soldiers, always manning their trenches and observation posts, carrying out their stern training routine as though the enemy might be upon them at any moment, and snatching their permitted rest in their foxholes and dugouts. The training routine does not end, either, when the brassy sun sinks in a purple glory behind a chalk white, eroded hiU. In the dusk, Ezekiel's patrol assembles. There are nine of them Moroc cans and Yemenites, Kurdish Jews and Poles and native born Israelis, for "in the Omri that great warrior' in Israel, an Ehud, whose swift-drawn sword tickled the fat ribs of Eglon, King of Moab," and in truth they look almost worthy of their names. AS THE . dusk merges into night, Ezekiel organizes his diamond formation with the speedy-footed Maurice the Mo roccan and Nimni the native born Israeli at the point. He commands silence, gives the sig nal to march with a loud hiss, and the patrol is on its way along the Egyptian border. There is no light but the pale loom of the myriad stars. The route of the patrol lies over rocky hills, down through dry wadi beds and across broad san dy plains. It is not easy country this, even in daytime. But the patrol goes forward at a steady clip of rather mora than four miles an hour, none speaking, none pausing, none straying, as though the broad light of day illumined every step. Ezekiel ends the long hard march with a perfect mock am bush of an Israeli vehicle on a side road. As the unsuspecting truck rumbles away, Ezekiel rises from the very gutter, dusts himself off briskly, and remarks cheerfully: "Of course they might have shot us if they had seen us. But at night they never see, even when you are so close." e e THE scene of the ambush is also thi rfnrf7.vnne In a moment Eli drives up, and rather anx iously inspects a still somewhat breathless amateur patroller for signs of damage. 'Ah," he says, in tones suffi ciently surprised to be somewhat wounding, "I see you have come through all right. Well, I am glad now that you have seen tl night patrol. For in our army, we must always expect to fight against odds; and one way we change the odds is to make the night our friend." (Copyright 1956. New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) MR.
