Opposition Is Explained "Even right here in Southern Oregon, there is no incen tive for electors to support and help finance a Federal Hell's Canyon dam which, would benefit, primarily, the Co lumbia area valley area." Grants Pass Courier. Ever since the hey-day of Senator Joe McCarthy and "McCarthyism" the editorial policy of our es teemed neighbor to the north has been somewhat puzzling. But perhaps in the above there is a partial expla nation. The Courier doesn't deny that a Federal proj ect at Hells Canyon would benefit the Columbia Eiver valley and its people. But that,, it thinks, is no reason why the voters of Josephine County should a e THIS pronouncement of Unless there is some tangible and direct benefit to Grants Pass and its environs, then there is no in centive to support ANY suggested public work or im provement Carrying this reasoning to its logical conclusion would mean the Grants Pass paper should oppose the Talent irrigation project, for it, too, is a federal and therefore socialistic development, which will benefit "primarily" Jackson County, and would offer there fore no reason for the Grants Pass "electors" to sup port it. a a . a . IT IS hard to believe the Grants Pass paper is serious in this contention which we supposed had gone out with the covered wagon, but we have often sus pected a satirical touch and then discovered later that none existed it was all in deadly earnest. Our neighboring contemporary has perhaps re nounced, among other of its pet aversions, the Cham ber of Commerce axiom that what benefits one sec tion of a state benefits all, just as what benefits one section of the county or country benefits all. If this is correct that would explain a number of things. K.W.R. How About a We are surprised to see swallowing the private power propaganda regarding newspapers. We don't mean there should, as we see it, The line taken is a familiar one namely: If it is desirable to have power plants owned and oper ated by the government then why not have government owned and operated newspapers? At this suggestion the editors are supposed, pre sumably, to scream with their arms, and faint. But as far as we have And for this refusal to be intimidated by such a horrorif erous suggestion, there are, we believe, a num ber of reasons. MO. 1 IS there is no popular demand for such action, ' and in the foreseeable future will be none. The American people want a FREE PRESS, not a govern ment owned press, whether one major party is m control at Washington or the other. Where the people don't want a thing, the possibility of having it forced on them is, in the U.S.A., thank the Lord to say the least, remote. On the other hand there IS a popular demand for public power, or the TVA's, Bonnevilles and Grand Coulees would never have been built. They were bunt Not to drive out private and as far as we know, power now controls SO per cent of the nation s eleo trie production, is exceedingly prosperous and stead' ily growing. Federal power projects are favored only to serve as a check and balance, prevent excessive rates, and threat of a monopoly, and where multiple projects are indicated, supply collateral public bene fits which the private companies will not, or can not, provide. AS SENATOR Morse pointed out when in Oregon last week, he has no quarrel with private power projects, where multiple power projects are not in dicated, only where they are, and. as on the Snake river where private power companies insist upon do ing what the government could do better, from the standpoint of promoting the public welfare. . When one realizes what a limited area there is in this county where multiple projects ARE feasible, the cry of "save my child" proceeding from the private power interests, really sounds rather silly. B UT the "line" continues : 'This Is communism, or socialism, the terms are synony mous. It is an alien philosophy, it means the death of pri vate enterprise and the American way of life. Now is the time for everyone to come to the aid of the party, etc. etc." Interesting if true. But it just doesn't happen to be true. . Russia has communism which is the dictatorship of one man or a few, with the people having no more to say about how they should be governed or by whom than the unfortunates in the Soviet slave labor camps. England is partially socialistic. The principle of public ownership and operation has been consider ably extended over there, but the people have ulti mate control and they can reduce this socialization or get rid of it entirely whenever they or a majority of them so desire. THE latter is, of course, even more true in this country. The people have it in their power through the ballot box, to determine at any general election how they should be governed and by whom and in a few months that will be determined for at least another four years. Such a situation no more resem bles socialism, communism, or any other "ism" than it resembles paganism. . How silly can we get? R.W.R. Bandar, June 24. 19S6 support it. policy seems plain enough.

In 1952 President Eisenhower swept the six New England states, plus New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Only West Vir ginia, of the 12 eastern states, went to Stevenson. At the same time. Republican representatives were elected in 80 of the East s 129 Congressional districts. But in 1953 the wind began to shift. Democrats proceeded to oust Republicans as gover nors first in New Jersey, then in 1954 in Maine, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. Also in 1954, Democrats captur ed nine more House seats, mak ing the current line up read: GOP 71; Democrats 58. Senate Seats Up This year, the parties will be fighting not only for the East's 153 electoral votes and 129 House seats. Six Senate seats are at stake, five held by Re publicans. The GOP is concentrating on ousting the lone eastern Dem ocrat whose term expires Sen. Herbert H. Lehman of New York. But Democrats are be lieved to have a better-than- average chance of knocking off Sens. John Marshall Butler (Md.) and James H. Duff (Pa.). Republicans are counting on President Eisenhower's wide popularity to bolster the party's position in the close Senate races, as well as in the con tests for 23 House seats GOP candidates won in 1954 by less than 55 per cent of the vote. By contrast, only a dozen of the Democratic-held districts in the East are similary classed as "marginal," and seven of these were won from Republicans in 1954. Some Strength Shown The extent of Democratic strength in the large cities of the East New York, Philadel Today and By Walter THE DOCTORS AND THE PRESIDENCY The President, it appears, is taking it as a matter of course that the country is expecting him to decide once more w h e t h er he will run again It may be useful to re in i n d our selves that the s i t u a tion in which he finds himself is pe ep alter Uppmann culiarly diffi cut for him, for the dactors who must advise him, and for the press which must keep the peo ple informed. The root of the difficulty is not so much medical as it is con stitutional. The President is the key fig ure in the American system; without his active guidance and control the system does not work. The President is elected for a fixed term of four years, and if he becomes in some meas ure incapacitated, there is no one to take his place. When, therefore, the President has had a serious illness, the crucial question is not his life expect any. If he dies, the system pro vides the Vice President take over. The crucial question is whether he can count on his en ergy and personal powers over a period of four" years. a pOR the system, as now estab lished, makes no provision for invalidism or for failing powers. This is what is in the back of people's minds when they listen to the medical opin ions of the doctors. They are waiting to be reassured about the President's health for the next four years. It is here that a misunder standing, such as it is, has arisen between the doctors and the public. The doctors have been talking about the President's re covery from his heart attack and from his operation. The politi cians, who are playing for very high stakes, have been treating what the doctors say as an ex pert verdict on the President s fitness to carry the burden of the Presidency for a second term. These are not one and the same. Owing to the fact that the President has a fixed term of office and that there is no one to substitute for him if he can not carry the burden, the doctors-are being pressed to make a prognosis which must in the nature of things be highly specu lative. They are expected to say not only whether he has recov ered from his heart attack and is recovering from the ileitis, but really whether he will be m full vigor during a second term. If this were a parliamentary gov ernment on the British model, this question would not atise. The head of the. government would not be committed to a phia, Boston, Baltimore, Pitts burg is underscored by Con gressional Quarterly's study oi the 129 eastern districts, part of CQ's continuing analysis bas ed on .the 1950 census. President Eisenhower got 55 per cent or more of the vote in 71 of these districts, while Dem ocrat Adlai E. Stevenson carried 29 districts by similar margins. The remaining 29 districts were carried by less than 55 per cent of the vote 21 by Eisenhower, eight by Stevenson. On the average, the 29 pro Stevenson districts gave Mr. Eisenhower only 36 per cent of the vote. AU but four of the 29 were in cities 14 in New York, four in Philadelphia, two each in Boston and Pittsburgh. Negroes averaged 13.4 per cent of the population of these 29 districts, while the foreign-born white population averaged 17.3 per cent. ' In Other Districts By contrast, the 71 pro-Eisenhower districts gave the GOP candidate 63 per cent of their vote. These districts averaged 61 per cent urban, which is close to the national average. Negroes averaged only 2.8 per cent, and the foreign-born 10.3 per cent, of the population in these dis tricts. Averages for the it marginal districts fell between these two groups. The contrast in the proportion of foreign-born is even more marked in a breakdown of New York State's 43 districts. Presid ent Eisnerhower carried eight of the 22 New York City dis tricts and all 21 upstate districts, but averaged only 33 per cent of the vote in the 14 city dis tricts carried by Stevenson. In the latter group of districts, the foreign-born averaged 24 per cent of the population, com pared with 10 per cent in the 21 upstate districts. But in the eight city districts also carried Eisenhower, the foreign-born averaged only 2 per cent,-' Long Way to Go Republicans are making strong Tomorrow Lippmann fixed term, and therefore it would not be necessary to do any medical guessing about what wiU happen in the future over a period of years. a a rPHE question does arise here, -- and in the case of President Eisenhower, given his age and his medical history, it is a mo mentous question. The Ameri can system, as it works now in practice,! cannot do wrth a sick or a failing President. 1 - It can be said that the system is more defective than it needs to be, and that some of the worst features of it as they were ex hibited when Garfield and Wil son were disabled could be remedied. It should become the established practice that when the President is ill, the Vice President takes over until the President recovers. There is lit tle doubt that this is what the authors of the Constitution in tended. Any sick President it might have been Eisenhower himselfcan put this constitu tional arrangement into effect. He can invite the Vice Presi dent to sign official documents. let the action be challenged in the courts, and have its validity tested promptly in the Supreme Court. The Vice President would not, of course, be sworn in as President. He would remain the Vice President, temporarily dis charging the powers and duties of the President. a a e rPHE alternative is the device of regency, as operated by Mr. Sherman Adams during the two illnesses of President Eisenhow er. This device has worked well enough because the President has not been badly incapacitated for a long time. The device would not work at all well in case of prolonged disability, such as invalidism or the failing powers of age. For the country would not long like the office of President administered by men who have not been elected to any office. But when all has been said and done about remedying the gross defects of the system, it will stUl be true that there is no substitute in a Presidential sys tem of government for a strong President in full possession of his powers. This truth is the point of reference for the de cision that must be made by the President, and, if he decides to run, then later on by the coun try. From what the President said when he was making his first decision we know that after the doctors have said all that they are able to say, he has no choice but to reach his conclusions by applying his conscience to his common sense, informed by. his experience of the office of Pres ident. .

In 1954 GOP Congressional candidates aver aged only 27 per cent of the vote in New York City's 14 strongly Democratic districts. In the six city districts which elect ed Republicans to the House, five of the winners got less than 52 per cent of the vote. Democrats are hopeful of further gains in the East this year, especially in certain New England and Pennsylvania dis tricts suffering from chronic un employment. However, this ex pectation may boomerang if the Democratic-controlled 84th Con gress adjourns before acting on President Eisenhower's request for $50 mUlion for giving a hand to the so-called "depressed are. (Copyright 1956, Congressional Quarterly) In the Day's News Yugoslav President Tito sign ed agreements in Moscow pledg ing cooperation with the Soviet Union in party and government I affairs "on a basis of equality. Following the signing, Tito pin ned on Soviet Defense Minister Zhukov's bosom Yugoslavia's highest decoration. It was quite love feast. Zhukov struck an attitude and said Yugoslavia will fight shoulder to shoulder with Rus sia in any future war and Tito was quoted as predicting that his country will march arm in arm with Soviet Russia from now on. Tito evedently thought that one over and counted up on his fingers the amount pf money the United States has shelled out to him during the years when he was making faces and thumbing his nose at Moscow. At any rate, he later denied the "arm in arm with Russia" crack. He said the reporters had mis quoted him. W1" T of Tito? Personally, I wouldn't trust him any farther than I can throw a Hereford bull by the tail. He's communist and the communists STICK TOGETHER. rpHAT brings up the case of a former Hungarian ranch owner who is now living in the United States. During World War II in the general ruckus down in the neighborhood of Hungary the U.S. army seized 22 of his horses and eventually shipped them to the United States, where they were sold He claims now that the United States owes him $180,000 for the horses. His claim came up yesterday before the house of representa tives, which referred it to the state department and the army for advice. Both the department of state and the Pentagon ad vised the house judiciary com mittee that the horses are legi timate war booty and that vot ing compensation for them would open - up a FLOOD of similar claims all over the world. WHY bring that up here? Well, It's what we newspaper people call a man-bites-dog story. That is to say, it's, un usual. It's unusual enough when one gaverument department in these days issues an opinion based on common everyday sense. When TWO departments join in such an opinion, it's EXTRA ORDINARY. , THAT cynical crack is prompt ed by a Washington dispatch that followed the story about Tito and Zhukov and the love feast in Moscow. The dispatch reads: "In Washington, state depart ment officials said there are in dications that the Russians in such things as the Zhukov remark had tried to embarrass Tito in his relations with the West. "These officials said the Unit ed States plans to continue eco nomic aid and some military assistance to Yugoslavia." T RECKON that's enough cyn- x - icism for one day. Selah. COMMUNIST REWARDS Washington A 1954 defector from Russia told the State Department how the USSR maintains "high standards of jus tice." An old Communist spent 12 years in prison, the defector said, and on being released "was paid the 'entire salary he would have earned . . . and given a complete sej. of false teeth to replace those knocked out by the secret police. ARGENTINE PAYMENT PLAN Buenos Aires U.R) Finance Minister Eugenio' Blanco an nounced Friday night that the cabinet has ratified the multi lateral Commerce and Payments Accord with 10 European coun tries.

POTLUCtC (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Clipping Department from the Eugene Register-Guard: "RAISED EYEBROW "Summer students at the University of Oregon may take an English course described as follows: "Studies in Romance; hours to be arranged; Friendly HaU." see Last week a feminine reader telephoned the Mail Tribune news room (as many people do when they want information) to inquire whether or not the style of dinner invitation she planned to use was correct according to Emily Post. The office expert on such mat ters the society editor was busy on another telephone, so our friend discussed the matter with a male staff member. He as sured her that, in this easy-going day and age, circumstances de termine whether or not a dinner invitation is correct. He also as sured her the type she had in mind was, in his opinion, the best under the circumstances. This apparently comforted her. for.her final remark was, "Well, if they say anything, 1 can say 'The man said so'." a a a Looking over at the lumber company that lives kitty-corner acioss the street from the news room, we are struck with one of the more useless differ ences between a business firm and a woman: A woman would never have a sign saying "Es tablished 1908." a a a More Clipping Department, this time from the Pendleton East Oregonian: A frend said to us the other day, "My you must welcome the summer letdown in news." We asked, "what letdown?" and she explained, "oh, things just seem a lot slower in the summer. People make the news, and they make it without regard for time. The newspapers report it and, much as they'd like to, they can't regulate the flow of it. This summer people will con tinue to get married, have ba bies, kill and maim themselves in auto accidents, steal, commit suicide and murder, play games. Matter of WHAT WILL TWINING SEE? Washington In defense and intelligence circles, the most hot ly debated question currently is this: Will the Soviets show off their inter mediate range ballistic mis-, s i 1 e to Gen. Nathan Twin ing and the other Western Air Chiefs now gathering in Moscow for Stewart Alsop the Soviet air show? The Ques tion is a meaningful one. As first reported in this space, the Unit ed States has "hard" intelligence that the Soviets have been regu larly testing supersonic ballistic missiles in ranges weU over a thousand miles. These ranges are four or five times those yet achieved here for comparable missiles. What is not surely known is whether the Soviet missiles are operating weapons, equipped with hydrogen warheads, and ca pable of being guided accurately to target, or mere experimental prototypes. Moreover, there is a vast difference between intelli gence reports, however "hard," and the actual display of such new weapons. a a a FTHE Soviets choose to show off thplr miccilo Ihav win An so as much for the benefit of British Secretary for Air Nigel Birch, French Gen. Paul BaiUy, and the other NATO airmen as for General Twining. For the display of an operational Soviet intermediate ballistic missile will have a simple meaning for the European air chiefs. It wiU mean that their air defense is or soon will be. totally obsolete, and that their entire land area will thus soon be subject to an oblit erating attack - against which they have no defense. For General Twining, it will mean that the American strate gic air bases in Europe and else where will be similarly indefen sible. It has been officially esti mated that writing off the for ward air bases would mean los ing between half and two-thirds the retaliatory striking power of Gen. Curtis LeMay's Strategic Air Force. . In the circumstances, it is easy to understand why the show at the Tushing air field just outside Moscow, which is scheduled for Sunday, is being awaited with rather breathless interest. It is also easy to understand whv Gen. Twining has chosen to ac company him such experts on the new weapons as Lt. Gen. Donald Putt, Deputy Chief of Staff for Development, and Lt. Gen. Thomas Power, Chief of the Air Research and Develop ment command. a a PARTICULARLY among the - civilian political a n a 1 y sts, there is a minority view that the Soviets will carefully refrain showing the intermediate missile become ill, have political argu ments and attend meetings and conventions. There never has been any evidence around a newspaper office that they do those things with any less deter mination in summer than in win ter. a a a A golfing friend of ours claims that the only place a golfer will always keep his head down at the proper lime is on the 19th hole. a a a One of our favorite subscrib ers dropped us a line the other day in a mild sort of protest to something our syndicated col umnist, E. V. Durling, had writ ten. Oh, well," she said, "Ex nihil " nihilo fit (or is it Ex nihilo nihil fit?)" Not being blessed with a prop er classical education, we were at a loss until Webster came to our assistance. We can now as sure her that her mJid thought is correct as to the Latin, and that her message (Translation for others without classical edu cation: "From nothing, nothing comes") applies to more than casual columnists. a a a What, we wonder, did the man have in mind who wrote the sign we noticed for the first time when walking down an alley after work and looked up to about the 18-foot level on the brick wall at the back of a tavern, and read: "No trespassing on This Roof "? as Possibly significant sociolog ical note: One popular make of automo biles last year sold more light blue cars than any other single color.

The civil ians argue that it is Soviet pol icy for the present to avoid any appearance of hydrogen bomb rattling. - - " Therefore, according to this theory, the Soviets wiU content themselves with showing off their jet transport plane with a seating capacity of 170 persons. Tupolov, the brillian Soviet air engineer, boasted about this plane when he accompanied Khrishchev and Bulganin to London, and if his boasts were accurate it is certainly a re markable achievement, which Western plane designers have failed to match. But most of the Air Force specialists doubt that the Soviets wiU confine themselves to dis playing a civilian plane. "They didn't invite Nate Twining over there to play parcheesi," one expert remarked. a a a rHAS even been suggested that tho Snvipta mlffhr inwta. Twining and other Western air chiefs to either their Arctic or Ukrainian missile range, to let them track the flight of a 1,500 mile ballistic missile. The pur pose would be, of course, to con vince the Westerners that the missile was the real thing, and not a fake or prototype. It would certainly be surpris ing if the Soviets gave the West erners a first hand look at their secret missile installations. But since the Kremlin recenUy per mitted a group of Americans to inspect in detail the great new nuclear research center at Bol shoya Volga, such surprises are not to be ruled out. ... x THE Soviets may, of course, have other tricks up their sleeve. They might display a supersonic bomber, to which they have given the highest pri ority. (The comparable Ameri can bomber, the B-58. is still on the drawing boards.) They might demonstrate their long-range turbojet plane, the, Bear, air- refuelling the heavy jet bomber. the Bison, thus dispelling the hopeful notion that they have not mastered air refuelling tech niques. Or they might display one of their new ground-to-air missiles, said to make the much advertised Nike look like a child's toy. In any event, Sunday's show at Tushing should serve to re mind the West of a simple, un doubted fact. While smiling broadly and preaching peaceful co-existence, the Soviets have been training every nerve to achieve the means to threaten the existence of the West, whether or not they choose to put those means on public dis play.
