Ex-Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay is starting on another tour of Eastern Oregon in his determined and well financed effort to get Ore gon's senior Senator out and occupy the seat himself. Judging by the advance notices Mr. McKay's trump-card will be quoting some stray remarks made by Senator Morse during the past three years which were not complimentary, as far as President Eisenhower-is concerned. It is believed apparently in McKay "GHQ," that in view of the President's great personal popularity which has not been lessened by his two recent ill nesses that these quotations in themselves will be enough to retire Wayne Morse to private life and give our f ormer Governor a cozy, cushy 6-year term in the Upper House. This technique is commonly known as riding into office on the presidential coat tails. e e e WELL we really can't blame "dear Doug." We doubt if even his best friends would deny that but for those potent coat-tails he would return no nearer to Washington, D.C., than Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, no matter how extensive his financial backing. But we are not so sure, that quoting Oregon's sen ior Senator out of context and thus demonstrating Wayne Morse was not afraid to criticize the leader of the opposition party when he believed him wrong, is going to be as magical in its political results as the GOP general staff assumes. After all, since when has the freedom to criticize the leader of one party by a prominent member of the opposing party been rated as a capital offense, or in ITSELF sufficient to justify retirement of a member of the U.S. Senate with as long and distinguished a record as that of Wayne L. Morse? e e "THERE will be many voters no doubt, Democratic and Republican, who will not agree with Ore gon's senior Senator's opinions of President Eisen hower, in the two cases cited, but few indeed who will deny he had a perfect Nor is Senator Morse the ate who has refused to regard the present, occupant of the White House as sacrosanct, so far above the average run of presidents that to suggest he is human and makes mistakes like the rest of us, calls for court- martial if not a sunrise meeting with the Chief High Executioner. Those who doubt this are advised to look over a file of the 1956 Congressional Record. THIS sort of "King can iiYiflAnVkf AIItT rriolfD Q UX1UUUJJ Lt.U.ljr lliftiav c Guard," and it promises to dear Doug with tremelo drum obligate But as before stated in this depart ment, that worshipful and adoring minority however vocal is not going to decide this particular contest. Whether Senator Morse retains his seat, or is to be expelled and his place taken by our former and un lamented Secretary of the Interior will be decided, NOT by the extreme partisans on either side, but by the independent voters who are going to carefully examine the records of both men, before they make up their minds, and their final decision will be based,' we feel sure, not upon what either one may have or have not said, but what they have DONE, and if elected, what they can be expected to do, for the best interests of their state in the next six years. . There will be such important issues as public pow er development vs. private power extension ; irrigation extension vs. curtailment; conservation of natural re sources vs. private exploitation ; recreational areas increased or further limited, and many other issues particularly vital to this state and the entire west, at this time. This free minority, which will hold the balance of power, will not regard this senatorial race as a per sonal popularity contest, or as a referendum on "We like Ike" but as a contest between two men, with sharply contrasting personalities, political records and with even more sharply contrasting views of what should be done and what should not be done, for the best interests of this state and the country during the next few years. If the above analysis is correct, it does not take a "seventh son of a seventh son" to predict which man will win. R.W.R. Toll Roads Re-Considered Three-months' experimental reductions in truck rates went into effect on the Ohio Turnpike June 26. The cuts are from 25 to 30 per cent for most tracks, plus an additional 10 per cent for payers of over $2,000 a month in tolls. The reductions, it is hoped, will lure enough new traffic to produce a net revenue gain. The hard fact is that collections on the Ohio Turnpike have fallen far below the estimates. Trucks have been staying away in droves, and on toll roads they are expected to provide the bulk of the revenue. " The old rates were said to be too high to divert any great multitude of trucks away from the free high ways. True, the turnpike would have saved them time, in addition to tire wear and gasoline. However, most truck drivers are paid by the trip, not by time or mileage, and in many cases the saving on fuel and tires simply didn't add up to the toll costs. E.R.R.

Bifgett Marketplace Lobbying, Education Difference Delicate Question for Probers Washington (CQ) Senate in vestigators, spurred by evidence of hitherto secret, tax -deductible, multi-miUion dollar propa ganda programs, are pressing for an answer to the question: When is a lobbyist not a lobbyist? The answer, backed by a Su preme Court decision, seems to be: When he spends the money to "educate" the public to his point of view. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) and his colleagues on the Special Senate Lobby Investi gating committee have unearthed no bribes and no scandals in their study of pressures for and against the natural gas bill, veto ed by President Eisenhower last February. But they have learned almost $2 million was spent to stir pub lic opinion on the controversial measure, and most of the activity was not covered by the existing In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, auto work ers in Birmingham, England, are threatenting to strike in an at tempt to force the British gov ernment to PEP UP BUSINESS. Union leaders claim the Eden government's curb on install ment buying and its restrictions on foreign trade are responsible for the slump in English auto sales which have led to the lay off of 6,000 workers. Factory shop stewards have adopted a resolution favoring a work stoppage to compel the government to RELAX its anti inflation program. HAT'S it all about? s quite a story. , rpHE ROOT of it lies in the fact that that Great Britain is physically a small country, its area is 88,745 square miles, which is considerably less than the area of the state of Oregon. Its population is in the neighbor hood of 48 millions. In order to support a popula tion of that size in an area of that small extent, Britain must manufacture and export on a big scale. Britain isn't self-sufficient. She doesn't produce enough food for her people. She doesn't produce within her borders the raw materials need- ea ior ner manufacturing es tablishments. She doesn't manu facture all the articles her people want and need. If she is to live She has to IMPORT. If she is to get the foreign money with which to pay for imports, she must export. She must' export more than she im ports. If she isto export (that is, sell goods abroad) she must sell the . British goods that foreigners want. British-made automobiles are among the goods that foreigners want and are willing to pay for. THAT brings up something else. . v . Britain is prospering again. As the British people become more prosperous, they want the good things of life. Among other thL-gs, they want automobiles. And, like Americans, they want to buy them on the installment plan. The upshot of the situation is that the British people have been buying so many automo biles "that there haven't been enough left to SELL ABROAD in order to get the money that Britain needs to pay for the things (including food and raw materials) that she has to im port. So In an effort to check British purchases of British-made auto mobiles, the British government is clamping down on installment purchases of cars. THE CREDIT restriction working. It is working well that for the present least there is a SURPLUS British cars. It is expected, course, that foreign sales is so at of of of cars can be stepped up enough to take care of this surplus, but that will take some time. Meanwhile. ' British automo bile factories are laying off men. Nobody likes to be laid off. So the union in Birmingham (one of Britain's big manufacturing centers) is contending, quite understandably, that the restric tions on installment buying should be taken off so that Britons can buy more cars and thus keep the factories operatmg at capacity. DUT, IF the British people go on another car-buying binge, thev will buy so many British made cars that they won't be enough left to sell abroad to get the money with which to pay for the imports that Britain UAS TO HAVE if she is to keep going. That's where the rub comes. ITS A complicated situation. But it illustrates rather in terestingly, I think, what hap pens when people all over the world come to rely on govern ment to FIX EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS FIXING. - - Lobby Regulation Act, McClellan has asked publicly if something should be done to bring such spending under fed eral supervision. What Disturbs Him Here's what disturbs McClel lan: The General Gas committee, which favored the bill, spent $119,988 in "developing the facts and carrying these facts to the people ..." The Natural Gas and Oil Re sources committee, also in favor of the bill, spent $1,753,513 on a "continuing long-range program of education and information." The United Automobile Work er (AFL-CIO), opposed to the bill, spent $38,762 for newspaper and radio advertfsements. Only one of the three groups, the General Gas committee, is registered as a lobby. Current law would not require the others to disclose their spending on the gas- bill. Another group opposed to the bill, the Council of Local Gas Companies, is a registered lobby. The $27,699 it spent included expenses for buttonholing . Con gressmen and a publicity cam paign against the biU. When Congress in 1946 first brought lobby activity under reg ulation, it drafted, a set of rules broad enough, apparently, to cover both direct and indirect lobbying. It required registra tion and regular financial reports from any person who "for pay or any consideration" attempts to influence Congress either "di rectly or indirectly." The Lobby Regulation Act was so broad that a federal court decided, in the case of U. S. vs. Harris, it violated Constitution al guarantees of free speech and the right to petition the govern ment "for a redress of griev ances." The case came to the Supreme Court in 1954 and Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for a five- man majority, upheld the con stitutionality of the lobby act. However, he limited its coverage to persons in "direct communi cation with Members of Congress on pending or proposed federal legislation." Indirect lobbying was freed from controls "to avoid constitu tional doubts." Warren said Con gress "would have intended the Act to operate on this narrower basis, even if a broader applica- tion to organizations seeking to propagandize the general public were not permissible. Three- dissenting judges said the Chief Justice had rewrit ten the law" to save it from be ing ruled unconstitutional. Crux of Problem This Supreme Court decision and the issues of civil liberties it raises are the crux of the problem with which McClellan and his colleagues are wrestling The Senator says he agrees with the late Justice Robert H. Jacksons observation: "To reach the real evils of lobbying with out cutting into the constitution al right of petition is a difficult and delicate task But McClellan says he wants his committee to consider at least two questions once "the whole pattern of lobby activities" has been explored. Should tax laws continue at swaying public opinion on na- tional issues? Should the . law be changed to require lobbyists to identify themselves as such in their appeals to the public and Congress? To Arise Again The indirect lobbying issue will arise again when the House Appropriations committee holds its planned investigation of a newspaper advertisement spon sored by "Americas independent electric light and power com panies." The Appropriations com mittee wants to-know if the ad, asserting Americas . superiority in peacetime atomic power de velopment, was designed to in fluence an Appropriations sub committee decision on Atomic Energy Commission funds. As long ago as 1950, another Congressional lobby investigat ing committee decided the long- run objective of every significant pressure group in the country is and must inevitably be the crea tion and control of public opin ion; for, without the support of an articulate public, the most carefuUy planned direct lobby ing is likely to be ineffective, That same committee gave this as the lobbyists' motto: "Millions for 'education' or 'public enlight enment' but not one cent for lobbying."

Nehru, Nasser, Tito Schedule Important Diplomatic Meeting By CHARLES M. McCANN United 'Press Correspondent Three oddly-assorted states men will hold one of this sum mer's most important diplomatic I jfvS- 1 confer ences next week. They are President Tito of Yugoslavia, President Ga mal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Ne- Ctasrles McCann flTU OI India. They are to meet for two days, probably July 18 and 19, on Great Brioni Island, Tito s fa vorite resort on the Adriatic Sea coast. Their talks wiU be pointed to ward organizing the new "third force" which seems destined to play an increasingly big part in world affairs. Form Neutralist Bloc The third force is to consist of the growing bloc of so-called neutralist countries which seek to keep themselves aloof from the West-East alignment led re spectively by the United States and Russia. Tito, Nasser and Nehru have in common the fact that they are the world's leading neutralists. They favor a policy of friend ly co-operation "active co-exist ence" with Russia and Commu nist China. They oppose "colo nialism. Nehru and Nasser, especially, oppose the Western system of defense alliances though Nasser is building up his own Arab alliance against Israel. Tito, Nasser and Nehru also are alike in that they exert in fluence far outside of their own countries. Tito is quite likely to become the leader of a Balkan bloc of Communist countries. Nasser has made himself the leader of the Arab countries. Nehru is the leading statesman of Southeastern Asia. All Are Revolulionsist The three men share also the fact that all are revolutionists.

The Porky War To the Editor: Recent stories and a brief but pungent porky editorial revived by-gone mem ories of some long-gone porcu pines. One is of a young eastern Oregon forest ranger astride a horse, three packhorses trailing. Seeing "a fierce looking animal" lumbering toward him in the trail, and being of venturesome nature, he decided to mow a swath through the middle of those "bristles." He pulled his 6-shooter trigger; his horse near ly unloaded the rider. The three horses raced back the trail and into the woods. Two hours of pre cious time was lost catching the strays. Twas nearly dark and camp not pitched. One porky. While the CCC camp was at Lake O' Woods in 1933, almost nightly porky came, gnawing on boxes, boards, etc., prevent ing peaceful slumber. Armed with flashlight, a club or shovel, we chased porkies up trees, un der woodpiles or out of sight, if not killed. Yes, porky was eaten. Rather oily, sweetish meat, as badger or woodchuck. But',why this no-quarter drive on porcupines, and waste all but the snoot for a dollar? Why destroy all of one or more nat ural resources while, exploiting another? That's been white man's undoing. He's changed millions of trees (some of porky's food) into dollars, and millions of acres into waste : treeless badlands, unfit for man or porky. Recall those vast areas of waving, green virgin forests and prairie grass lands, verdant hills and valleys; clear fishing streams, before man's destruc tion? Not porky's! Of course you do! But porky must go as American Indians from their bits of reservations; Arabs from Jerusalem. Modern science, discoveries, in ventions might bend porky quill barbs as clinchers; quills into rich fabrics of wondrous texture and transcendent beauty for car seat covers, table-cloths; fat into high grade gun oil; claws into back scratchers; flesh smoked or dried and sold in competition with codfish, smelt or other smelly fish; scent into perfu mery; balance into expensive fertilizer. Thus, lowly porky dollars kept rolling in. Finally, and no foolin', twelve thousand smelly, prickly porky carcasses in 1955 would be nil compared with the scores of thousands this and next year to pollute the pure mountain air and water, endanger man and beast walking through the for est or along trails and roads; at tract flies and other disease carrying insects. Might a sick ness epidemic or plague be started from such pollution? John Gribble 139 Kenwood Ave. Medford, Oregon munist was for years a profes sional revolutionary. Nehru, aft er the death of Mahandas K. Gandhi, led India's fight against British rule. Nasser engineered the revolt which dethroned King Farouk. Their backgrounds, however, differ widely. Tito, of peasant stock, was a locksmith and a la bor union leader in his youth. Nehru, a patrician, was educated at England.'s Harrow and Cam bridge. Nasser is a politically minded professional soldier. Tito, as a Communist, pre sumably is an atheist. Nehru is a Hindu, Nasser a Moslem. Undoubtedly, in their talks, Tito, Nasser and Nehru will seek means of bringing closer to gether the growing number of countries which have adopted MQt tOt Of FCfCf DISARMAMENT: ONE LAST TRY? Washington When President Eisenhower returns to the Wh'tp Hon" in a week or so. he will find his desk load ed high with all sorts of grave and pressing deci sions. Among them will be this question: Is it worth making one last try to ne gotiate seriously on disarmam ent with the Soviet? Since Andrei Gromyko's froz en-faced performance at the United Nations on July third in which he seemed to slam the door on any agree ment which the western powers could c o n c e ivably accept, the log ical answer might seem to be "no" but Stewart Alsop the President is an optimist by nature, and control of the new weapons is probably closer to his heart than any other objec tive. Before his recent illness, more over, the President ordered searching, root-and-branch re view of American diarmament policy." The review has been conducted by a high level com mittee, headed by special Presi dential Assistant Harold Stas- sen and including representa tives from the State and De fense Department and the Cen tral Intelligence Agency, The work of the committee, which will report its findings to the President soon after his return, is still unfinished. But already a basic approach has been agreed upon. It is agreed that it is too early to despair, and. that some real advance may still be made, provided only the hard, demonstrable self-interest of both sides is considered, and all attempt to achieve ideal so lutions is abandoned. e TN THIS newtapproach to dis armament, two basic assump tions have been ir.ade. First, it is tacitly recognized that the world has already passed the point of no return, so far as total control of the new weapons is concerned. A hydrogen bomb, after all, can be hidden in a hay barn, and there is absolutely no way of detecting it, short of search ing through the hay. Both this country and the Soviet Union have already produced great numbers of nuclear weapons, and there are plenty of hay barns and other hiding places in both countries. So it is futile to try to negotiate the kind of control of the new weapons en visaged in the old Baruch Acheson plan. The second assumption is that there are, nevertheless, at least two areas where the hard self interest of the United States and the Soviet Union coincides, and where practical measures can be taken to serve those interests. The first area . con cerns the "fourth country prob lem," a phrase coined by the British. Now In Full Swing! LEON'S AND LEON'S TOTS-TO-TEEHS FOR SIHMME Buy 2 Pairs Exactly the the neutralist line. ,It is quite likely that they will try to organize the neutralists into a bloc which will act to gether, especially in the United Nations. Their influence already is great That influence was strengthened by the recent con flicting statements of President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles on the merits and demerits of neutralist policy. Nasser is to arrive in Yugo slavia Thursday for an eight-day visit to Tito. Nehru will join them on Brioni Island for the last two days. They are certain to issue a communique at the end of their talks. Anything they may say is pretty certain to be important. By Joa and Stewart Alsop It is by no means fanciful to envisage a future in which a tinpot dictator could threaten both East and West. For there are no longer any real atomic secrets, and it is fatally easy to turn out nuclear weapons. once the necessary installation are built. Surely, it is argued. it is as much to the interest of the Soviet Union as of the United States or Britain that no future Mussolini or Peron should achieve the means to threaten the great powers with total ruin. PREVENTING the emergence of a "fourth country" is obviously politically difficult, since it involves national sov- , ereignties. But it is at least technically feasible. Even a very limited global inspection system would detect the building of new nuclear installations. Some sort of freeze on nuclear pro duction, at a given cut-off date. with inspection under United Nations auspices, is one ap proach being considered. Another area of mutual inter est is some form of mutual in surance against surprise attack In this area, the Soviets have already shown some willingness to negotiate seriously their pro posal for limited ground inspec tion is considered more than a propaganda gesture. And des- -pite Gromyko, the Stassen group believes that hope for progress on this front should not be abandoned. Various ways of making "one last try" on disarmament have been discussed by the Stassen group a secret approach through regular diplomatic chan nels, the despatch of a special Presidential ' emissary to Mos cow, or a major new initiative by the President himself, like his "atoms for peace". proposaL In view of Gromyko's speech, and Nikita Krushchev.' scorn ful remarks about Western dis armament plans; the last try seems very likely to come to nothing. But the President, be ing the kind of man he is, will probably decide to make it all the same. And in view of the bleak alternatives, no doubt it is worth making.
