climbfd on'o the Hriic t'an;.f-n
issue and d'i tf.' sr vw in
drop to put the bill to d'-a'h.
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. Public
power people had tried to win
him over for public power groups
are not without influence in his ,
home 'atp where Wiley faces
a to;;::h re-election campaign, j
His opponent, P,ep. 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.

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.
WHO KNOWS what is the right
' ' thing to do?
I'll confess I don't. I doubt if
! anv ordinarv average American
National Farmers I'nion because chief sponsors of Hells Canyon, j knows. I just know that the small
that group has come out in sup-, ?niri nothing doing. Russell vot-; 5rlare of any money to help Tito
port of his opponent in the up- j ct1 against the bill. j that come out of my pocket
coming North Dakota senate Sen. Russell R. Long (D-La ). will be let go of somewhat grudg
race. And since the Farmers L'n-' is a good friend of Morse, but ! ingly.
k Jenkins
Under all the KNOWN circum
stances, putting up American
dollars to help Tito become a
bigger frog in the communist
puddle doesn't seem to make
sense.
SPEAKING further of foreign
Leader Dizzy Gillespie
has sent President Eisenhower a
telegram protesting against cuts
in congressional appropriations
for the OVERSEAS MUSIC PRO
GRAM. Gillespie says the United
States will be playing into the
communists' hands if it stops
sending jazz bands overseas.

Tune In On "STUDIO ONE" KBES-TV Monday, 6 p.m.
ADDRESSING an audience in
Huntington, W. Va., last
night. Gov. A. B. (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?"
