The 51 41 votp by '.vhi'h the f.nate riefrn'fd the bill brought one of thp hM r:i.-'ip!inrd party line vots in this whole 85th Conzrpss the Democratic leadership was cracking the whip for the bill, whil? the GOP ad ministration was whipping Re publicans into line against it. Join Ranks But the fact that ei-jht Demo crats defected to the Republican ranks and two Republicans join ed hands with the Democrats shows that even und'-r the .strict est circumstances, there really is no party discipline in Congress f t the sort that is common in Kuropean legislatures, such as the British parliament. In the closing days before the vote, officials of the White House and the Interior Department put on their final drive to keep the Senate's 47 Republicans in hne and to try to pick up some con servative Democrats They fig ured they would lose only Sen. William Langer. the maverick from North Dakota, who co-sponsored the bill. They thought they had won back Sen. Milton Youne. Langer's colleague who also is a co-sponsor. The story is worth telling. Young, who usually votes for public power, is angrv at the ion is in favor of HHIs Canyon, VoLir.g was ready to bolt his sponsorship of the bill and op pose it. Compromising Stand In the end he took a compro mising stand halfway between both camps, lie was paired wi'h j an absent senator, Spessard Hoi-j land (D-Fla.), who opposed the j bill. This meant, he simply was j ar r:oi;n' -g as favoring the bill j b'.i' he couldn't cast a vote. ; The o'her Republican riefec-1 he had committed himself to op pose Hells Canyon several years ago when his main mission in Congress was to gain approval of the tidelands oil bill. Long swapped a commitment on Hells Canyon in return for Northwest Republican support for his tide lands legislation. Cracks Whip Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.) the Democratic leader of the Senae, cracked the whip over his boys but couldn't bring his ;:on wa at : er to something of a surprise : Texas colleague. Sen. Price Dan iel, into line. Best he could do was arrange with Daniel to be absent and thereby not cast an opposition vote. In the end. probably the de cisive factor in the political tug-o-war was that the White House was under Republican control and could throw its full influ ence into the fight. Had the ad ministration been under a Dem ocratic president, it is generally thought more Democrats would have fallen into line for the bill in the same way that Repub licans were lined up almost solidly against it. In short, this was one politi cal issue that was decided by the IS52 election when the peo ple chose Eisenhower over Ad lai Stevenson. t glance, for Sen. Alexand- j ':;. iR-Ws i. was figured .te with me GOP.

Glenn Davis, is a foe of federal dams, having tried several times to kill off the Ice Harbor dam project on the lower Snake River in Washing ton state. Hut there was another factor Wiley is mad at the Eisenhow er administration for the presi dent's failure to lend him any personal support in his primary campaign against Davis. In the hours before the Hells Canyon vote. Interior officials desper ately tried to get Wiley by phone to solicit his vote, but the sen a'or wouldn't even talk with them. Less Successful Democratic leaders were less successful in keeping their party members in line for a variety of reasons, one of which is gener ally thought to be the fact that Morse's popularity wouldn't win any contests among some south ern Democrats. Specifically there is Sen. James Eastland (D-Miss.) whom Morse opposed as chair man of the Judiciary committee. Sen. Richard B. Russell fD-Ga.) reportedly sent word that he i w ould vote for Hells Canyon i only if some sponsors of the bill j from the north agreed to take j the heat off of southerners in pressing for civil rights legisla tion. When Morse and Sen. Richard L. N'euberger (D-Ore.). Investigation Into Ship Crash Starts Seattle (U.RI Two Military Sea Transportation Service ships collided in a dense Puget Sound fog yesterday morning with con siderable damage to both ships but no injuries to ship personnel, the Navy reported. Capt. N. E. Smith, chief staff officer for the MSTS North Paci fic Sub Area, said the USNS Gen. H. B. Freeman, a transport with about 600 Army men aboard, and the USNS Mission San Louis Obispo, collided about one and one-half miles southeast of Mor rowstone Point light. The point of collision was off Whidby Island in Puget Sound. The Freeman was inbound from Alaska where the ship had taken on Army passengers from Operation Gyroscope. With a gash in her side, the Freeman's destination was changed from Tacoma to the Seattle Port of Embarkation. The San Louis Obispo was outbound from Puget Sound for Bahrein in the Per sian Gulf, but was forced to re turn to Seattle shipyards for bow repair. Capt. Smith said the collision will be investigated. Sunday, July 22, 1868 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE The mouth of the sea dragon is so small that it cannot harm other fish or even defend itself from enemies. Its sole protection lies in its astonishing shape and appendages. Use Tribune Want Ads In The Day's News Fran Foreign aid note: Sen. Bill Knowland of Cali fornia (who is also Republican leader in the U. S. senate) has of fered an amendment to the for eign aid bill that would cut off ALL military aid to communist Yugoslavia. Two other Republi cans. Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, joined him in sponsoring the bill. The Republican administration (meaning the Eisenhower admin istration) has warned that cut ting off aid to Yugoslavia might drive Tito into tighter bonds with Russia.

(Happy) Chand ler of Kentucky told his hearers the American people ought to let President Eisenhower go back to his farm and rest, instead of re electing him. He added: "If the President heads the Republican ticket again and his health is not too good, you may be voting for Richard Nixon for President." I7ELL. what's wrong with that? " This is a young man's world, and Richard Nixon is one ; of America's ablest young men. Among other things, it is worth : remembering that back in the days when Alger Hiss had the world by the tail it was Richard , Nixon (then a senator) who re j fused to give up and kept on dig ; ging until he brought out the ! facts that sent Hiss to jail as a ! perjurer. i In the difficult situation in I which he has been placed as a i result of President Eisenhower's ; illnesses, he has handled himself . with admirable discretion. The general verdict of the write-in ; primaries has been that the vot ! ers LIKE HIM. GETTING back to Governor Chandler, he has thrown his hat in the ring as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. After his Huntington speech, he told the reporters: "I am entitled to major con sideration as a contender for the Democratic Presidential nomina tion .... "I have a pretty good know ledge of how the Presidency ought to be operated .... "I don't believe anyone in the country knows more people than I do ... . "No one in the country is known by more people than I am." THAT IS remindful of the story of the colored boy who at tended his first political rally. The speaker was a candidate for sheriff. Like Governor Chand ler, he laid it on pretty thick. After the speech, a neighbor said: "How yo'all like Sam's or atin'?" The colored boy scratched his head, squinted his eyes contem platively and replied: "Well, he sho' do recommend hisse'f, don't he?"
