MAIL TRIBUNE
Tough Question
We were asked a tough question last week. We
could use some help in answering it. It was this:
"What are the most important issues of U.S. for
eign policy on which you think public opinion is like
ly to have great influence during the calendar year
1957?"
The question arose out of the success of the
"Great Decisions" program conducted in Medford,
and a number of other places, last winter. We were
asked because of the role of the Mail Tribune played
in bringing the Great Decisions program to the people
of southern Oregon.
a e e
A ND how do we know the program was a success?
There's no way of measuring it, of course, but
there was an active and vocal interest in it, and it is
fair to assume hat there was also considerable,
though unvocal, participation or quiet study.
And a representative of the co-sponsoring For
eign Policy association, reporting on an evaluation
meeting held in May, said those attending were im
pressed with the record in southern Oregon.
"What with the school involvement, the news
paper and broadcasting jobs that were done, and
even the few discussion groups, it adds up in our eyes
to a very impressive total," he said. He added :
I told the Rroup of my experience of several years ago
touring around the Oregon cities, and finding that the idea
of world affairs education had never occurred to much of
anybody that it was a completely foreign idea that no
body could really accept emotionally as important, in spite
of an awareness that the U.S. had some really pressing for
eign policy problems.
Don (Don Hansen, chairman of the Medford program)
made the comment that he had been noticing that everyone
he meets in ihe valley, wherever they live, seems to be
aware of the Decisions program and what it's about and
what it means. From our point of view, thinking a little bit
like an advertiser with a new product, we think this general
awareness of a new area of civic concern is a highly im
portant thing in itself . . .
SO MUCH for this year's program, and its success.
Vntir ti-Vl-jt oVmilt 1Q?;7? I
The question is qualified as to which subjects are
likely to be influenced by public opinion because one
of the aims of Great Decisions is to focus public op
inion and to bring it to bear on government officials
where it can have some effect.
The recent project dealt with Russia's new "sweet
ness and light" challenge, with Germany's role in
Europe, U. S. policy in North Africa, Middle Eastern
peace, Red China, Vietnam, and the implications of
nuclear weapons.
What are your ideas in response to the query?
Suggestions would be welcome. E.A.
New Highway
After more than a year's delay, the national high
way construction measure finally appears certain of
passage.
Let no motorist kid himself it's going to cost
him some money. But in the long run, it will save him
money. It is a case of spend a bit more now to save
more later. It makes sense.
fREGON'S benefits from the measure are huge.
Highway 99 will be four lanes from California
to Washington, with no stbp lights, no grade cross
ings, no crossroads and it is to be hoped, with a
minimum of billboards.
The trip to Portland from here will.be cut prob
ably by several hours, as will gas consumption and
automobile wear and tear.
We can hardly wait.
TT WAS with interest that we read the statements of
- Oregon's assistant highway engineer, W. C. Wil
liams, in describing the route. He is quoted as saying,
"It (the highway) will go around the cities and
towns."
Please note: He said "AROUND," not
'THROUGH."
One hopes Medford will not be made an excep
tion. E.A. . '
Pleasant Evening
Some mysterious electronic malady developed in
the mysterious- electronic innards of the family TV
set the other day.
The cure, we were informed, required a trip to
the TV-set clinic. "The monster," as it is referred to
at our house, was gone for about 24 hours.
X7ELL, sir, we spent about the pleasantest evening
we have for a year or so. The kids complained a
bit about missing one special program, and then for
got about it. We read. We played cards. We played
the piano. We sort of all got acquainted again.
. And when bedtime came, the youngsters went
along without griping and asking to see "just one
more program."
THERE'S probably no particular moral to be drawn
from this event unless

First Step Taken Toward New

United Press Correspondent ..
The 15 members of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
have taken the first step to-

revision
of their grand
alliance.
The revision

Charles McCano resulted irom
the death of Josef Stalin and
the new, and dangerous, "sweet
ness and light" policy of Soviet
Russia.
When "NATO" was organiz
ed in 1949 the danger of a war
of aggression by Russia was
great.
Now the threat is that Russia
may succeed in forwarding its
policy of world domination
through economic and political
penetration.
Foreign ministers of the
NATO countries, meeting in
Paris in May named a commit
tee of three to study means of
broadening their treaty to in
clude political and economic as
well as military cooperation.
Three Wis Men
The committeemen are Les
ter B. Pearson, Canadian sec
retary of state for external af
fairs and Foreign Ministers Gae
tano Martino of Italy and Hal
vard Lange of Norway.
The "three wise men," as
they have been called, have just
ended their first meeting in
Paris.
They drafted a questionnaire
including nearly 40 headings on
possible cooperation in politi
cal, economic, social and cult
ural affairs,
It is expected that NATO
members will send in their re
plies to the questionnaire . be

The three committeemen will
then meet again in September to
coordinate the replies and draft
a report which will be consider
ed by the foreign ministers of
all 15 members in December.
Thus there will be nearly six
months in which member coun
tries can consider the extent to
which they want to broaden
NATO.
It is certain that there will
be arguments over the treaty
revision plan.

REPORT TO A PARTNER
This is a personal report
from Stewart Alsop to his
brother Joseph Alsop, who
has returned from abroad.
Washington
Dear Joe:
You will find that the Presi
dent's second serious illness in
nine months completely over
shadows the political scene here
at home. Indeed, you will feel
I think, as though you were
hearing a cracked record play
ing over and over the same
refrain that became so familiar
last fall and winter: "Will he
run? Will he run? Will he run?"
But there a difference this
time. You remember how, in
the first weeks after the heart
attack, it was universally as
sumed that the President would
withdraw. This time, you will
find, almost everybody assumes
that the President will stay in
the race.
You remember also how, as
the ' weeks and months' passed
after the heart attack, it seem
ed more and more likely that
the President would run, 1 until
his announcement in February
came as no surprise at all. I
wonder if the same thing might
happen again in reverse?
AS I wrote a few days ago.
the Republican high com
mand expresses absolute confi
dence, not only that the Presi
dent will run, but that he will
so announce, very shortly. It is
of course vitally important to
the Republican leadership that
the President end the current
speculation by making his "pos
itive" announcement as soon
as possible. But Jim Hagerty
swears that the President has
given no hint of his intentions.
So there may well be more
than a pinch of wishful thinking
in the confidence I reported.
Meanwhile, the President him
self, as he lies stricken for the
second time in nine months,
must be thinking long and hard
whether he can carry on for
four more years. As you know,
we newspapermen have all be
come amateur physicians since
the President's heart attack and
operation. But it is not necessary
to go to a medical school to
understand a few harsh facts.
Coronary thrombosis is a ser
ious disease. So is ileitis, es
pecially within a few months
of a coronary. There is a risk
of recurrence in both diseases.
And, in the President's case the
risk is, obviously, compounded.
A FEW days ago, we got a
letter from an insurance
executive, from which I quote
excerpts:
"Mr. Eisenhower is not an
insurable risk on any basis be
cause of the coronary attack . . .
in the end, the treaty win De
revised as a matter of necessity.
As the danger of war of ag
gression by Russia has lessened
the whole moral structure of
NATO has weakened.
Defense against a Russian at
tack has strengthened steadily,
but member nations have be
come less defense - minded.
Cooperation Weakened
Also, the removal of the once
imminent threat of a third
world war has weakened the
diplomatic cooperation of the
Allies and there have been
many evidences of serious dis
unity. There seems good reason to
hope that the answers to the
questionnaire of the "wise men"
will provide the basis for a
Current Congress is
'Least Cooperative1
With Ike's Program
Washington (CQ) President
Eisenhower will have to score
the current session of .Congress
as the least cooperative of his
administration unless there is a
last-minute reversal of form.
The latest Congressional Quar
terly "boxscore" on the Presi
dent's legislative record shows
that, with Congress less than
four weeks from scheduled ad
journment, 34 of Mr. Eisenhow
er's 217 requests have been ap
proved, a score of only 16 per
cent.
The boxscore of the 217 Eis
enhower requests is a result of
a careful check of legislation
specifically sought by the Presi
dent. The breakdown as of
June 18:
Approved by Congress 34.
Rejected 6.
Passed by House andor Sen
ate 52.
Some progress in committee
-77.
Set back but still alive 11,
No action 37.
Lower Than 1955
The 16 per cent approval the
President's program has won so
far this year is 10 per cent low
er than the comparable 1955
figure. On June 29, 1955, Con
gress had passed 26 per cent of
his program. The final figure lor
Expectation of life according to
the standard mortality table

take the recent ileitis . . . here
expectations of the life is 3.54
years. What the life expectation
is in combination we don't
know. We all know that while
the mortality table is quite an
accurate guide there are people
who outlive it. Mr. Eisenhower
will get more than normal care
(But) if he is not an acceptable
risk for life insurance on not
one but two counts, is he an
acceptable candidate for the
Presidency?"
After the President's heart
attack, you remember, we dis
cussed at length the problem
of writing about . matters that
had both profound political im
plications and painful personal
implications. It is repugnant to
write in cold statistical terms
about the life expectancy of a
well-loved human being. But
.when the office of the Presi
dency is involved, we agreed,
the risk that its occupant may
die in office, or become in
capaciated, simply must be con
sidered. e e
TPHE RISK is always there, of
course, because we are all
mortal. But it is irresponsible
to pretend that the risk is not
especially great in the Presi
dent's case. Perhaps the risk
is worth taking.
You and I have been critical
of the Eisenhower administra
tion, particularly in the defense
field (and you should read the
testimony before the Symington
committee we owe an apology
to our readers for having, been
blithering optimists).
But it is true, as you wrote
at the time of the President's
heart attack, that "Dwight D.
Eisenhower's greatest s i n gl e
contribution has been bringing
us all back to a sense of true
American style."
IfERY great risks may be
worth taking, in order to
continue that contribution. A
candidate for the Presidency
need not necessarily be "an ac
ceptable risk for life insurance."
But I think you will be angered,
as I have been, by the attempt
to propagate the myth that the
President is already in fine
shape, that he has his hands
firmly on the reins of govern
ment, that the very serious op
eration he has undergone has
been good for him as a nice long
vacation, and so on.
Where so much is at stake,
the facts must be faced up to.
No doubt the President, as he
lies in his hospital bed, or sits
in his wheel chair, is facing
them squarely.

broadened NATO treaty. And
that the Western Allies will
meet the new Russian threat
as they did the previous one.
It is interesting that Can
ada's Lester Pearson is one of
the "wise men." For he is cred
ited with being the real father
of NATO. On April 29, 1948,
Pearson suggested a "security
league" of free nations. His
suggestions was accepted.
As the result the foreign min
isters of the United States, Can
ada, Great Britain, France, It
aly, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Luxembourg, Denmark, Nor
way, Iceland and Portugal sign
ed the NATO treaty in Wash
ington on April 4, 1949. Greece,
Turkey and West Germany have
since joined it.
1955 was 46 per cent.
About 25 more of the Presi
dent's requests are certain of
passage this session. That would
raise his final won-loss record
to at least .270.
Another 16 items are likely
to go through. Approval of these
could bring his session-end per
centage to at least .350. It could
go higher if Congress speeds up
action on some non-controver
sial items it has ignored so far.
But odds'are the 1956 session
will continue the past three
years' trend of diminishing suc
cess for the President's program.
His score dropped from .727 in
1953 to .647 in 1954 and .463
in 1955.
The 1956 Congress may, rate
even lower on Mr. Eisenhower's
own score card. Only two of the
29 bUls listed by the White
House Mdy 24 as legislative
"highlights" have been approv
ed. These are the farm bill and
the measure for improved med
ical j:are for military depend
ents. Others Credited
Congressioal Quarterly's box-
score counts these two and also
gives the President credit for
such other major legislative
items as the Upper Colorado de
velopment plan and the exten
sion of excise and corporate tax
rates.
Among his 34 victories were
such comparatively minor items
as an increase in the federal
payment to the District of Co
lumbia and. passage of a treaty
on the importation of commer
cial samples.
The six requests flatly reject
ed by Congress, were all part of
Mr. Eisenhower s farm program,
including the soil bank prepay
ment provision and a limit on
the amount of price support
money one farmer can receive
Almost- certain of passage be
fore the session ends are high
way and housing programs and
the foreign aid bill requested by
the President. But there is no
guarantee their final form will
be entirely acceptable to him.
The ouUook also is good for two
farm credit bills and three
health measures on the . Presi
dent's list.
In the doubtful - to - uncertain
category are school aid, civil
rights, federal pay raise and cus
tom's simplification bills. Seem
ingly dead are measures for Ha
waiian statehood, immigration
and refugee law revision, postal
rate increases and Taft-Hartley
act changes.
'Do Nothing' Charge
The slowdown of the Presi
dent's program appears certain
to revive last spring's Republi
can charges of a "do-nothing"
Congress. The claim that Demo
crats blocked substantial num
bers of Mr. Eisenhower's re
quests will be used as an argu
ment for electing a Republican
Congress in November.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) has
counseled both parties to exer
cise patience and avoid partisan
ship while Congress is in session.
Johnson May 24 predicted that
when Congress adjourns, it "will
have enacted a program design
ed to meet the needs of the
American people."
An unofficial Democratic
"must list" includes social secu
rity expansion, more public
housing, high farm price sup
ports, highway construction, aid
to schools, a minimum wage
hike and public power projects.
Privately, some Democrats
are preparing a stronger defense !
against the "do-nothing" charge.
They say that any failure of the
President's program should be
blamed on a lack of effective
leadership from the White
House and Congressional Re
publicans. 1

MacArthur and Ike
To the Editor: You will re
collect some few years ago we
had a rather tough war going
on to our west and to our east.
On the east Eisenhower in com
mand of the allied forces, in the
west Gen. Douglas MacArthur
was the Big Dog.
In the East the battle was well
joined. The battlefields were
fairly stable, not too much man
euvering. The commander was
fully informed as to the where
abouts of the enemy, and he
could lay his field plans ac
cordingly. His force of men,
transportation, supplies, and
just about anything he would
need at any time was unlimited.
He never had to wait long for
anything. Ask and receive was
the policy.
It was different in the west.
MacArthur was ordered to Aus
tralia when the Jap army at
tacked Manila. As a good sol
dier should, he obeyed orders.
Upon arriving there he assumed
-command. What did he find to
use in a war? Almost nothing.
The little man in Washington
thought solely about the Euro
pean front. To him it was not
possible to think that the East
ern area could be of any spec
ial importance. As a result, the
European front had to be won
first. Never mind the western
battles. Anytime would do for
that part of the world.
In the meantime the Japs had
overrun the Pacific islands and
did a bang up job of fortifica
tions on the island chains lead
ing back to Japan, final objec
tive of our forces.
MacArthur engaged the en
emy wherever he could find it
with what he had and what
he could wrangle from the little
man aforesaid. Facing superior
forces and, in many cases, far
superior numbers of planes, he
forged ahead. No man can haz
ard a good guess the obstacles
he overcame to win. Yet win he
did, and for that the nation can
be truly thankful.
Then came Korea. MacArth
ur was winning that, too.
The littlest man in all history
slapped him down, slapped
down the General of the Army.
One who dared to tell him, the
little man, where he was wrong.
That same little man relieved
him of his command and put a
fifth grade general in command,
one he could, and probably did,
dominate. Thus, we lost the Kor
ean fracas.
Then came Ike. Ike was not
general of the army, sowas low
er in rank than MacArthur. He
did not reverse the stand of the
little man. thus showing to all
the world he was the Big dog
and meant to stay so. Do you
approve of such conduct? I do
not. I believe in giving honor
to whom honor is due.
And MacArthur certainly de
serves honor from America if
any one does.

of whishing on through on their
way to California or Washing
ton or British Columbia or
somewhere else beyond the blue
