May Be
The Eusrene Rerister-Guard
Republican but not rabidly
gon GOP not to be so sure that because 'Hell s Lan
yon" was defeated, Wayne Morse will be defeated.
The "Guard-' even goes so far as to warn the members
of its party in Oregon that to persist m such a delusion
might be to "court disaster."'
The point is well taken.
But we would go even farther and venture the
sucr,Lrestion that the defeat of Hell's Canyon MAY
help Oregon's senior Senator politically.
It all depends upon how important a federal proj
ect on the Snake river for maximum power and water
storage is to the voters of Oregon, and particularly
to the voters of Eastern Oregon.
i The defeat of Senator Cordon in that section of
the state two years ago indicated the power issue was
the deciding factor. Unless there has been a reversal
of sentiment, the people over there will blame the
present Republican administration, not Wayne Morse,
for the dashing of their hopes and their defeat at the
hands of the fclaho Power company.
And they would, of course, be entirely correct.
In fact there have been few victories of late as clear
cut on party lints, as this triumph of the anti-public
power forces in the Upper House last week.
ALB Republicans but two (Langer of North Da
kota and Wiley of Wisconsin) voted AGAINST the
Hells Canyon development, while only eight Demo
crots (seven of them from the South) followed suit.
All the other Democrats voted for Hells Canyon, all
the Republicans against it.
We don't deny this was a defeat for Senator
Mor-f for he sponsored the bill, and led the fight for
it. It was also a blow to his senatorial prestige. But
the lesson to be learned is an obvious one for those
who want a federal project on the Snake and DON'T
want the huh power and water storage potentials
handed over to the Idaho Power company already
noted for its excessive power and water rates, namely:
Vote against the party responsible for the defeat,
vote for the party that came within 10 votes of victory.
That would mean, of course, vote to keep Wayne
Morse in the Senate and vote to keep ex-Secretary
IcKav OUt of it.

"don t give a hoot about Hells Canyon one way or the

That mav be true in Lane County. It may be
equally true' in Central and western Oregon. The
voters except in Eastern Oregon may be neutral on
the subject. But if that is true then the vote against
Hells Canyon will not intluence their vote in the sen
ate race one way or the other, and on the other hand
if the people of eastern Oregon are not neutral on
this issue and still want federal instead of private
power development at Hells Canyon, then this defeat
I of their desires MIGHT turn the tide against "Dear
Done" and in favor of Wavne Morse.
at stake is not a big issue : It the people ot Oregon
and the Northwest don't give a hoot about it, why
should so much time and money be spent to defeat it?
Why should so many influential papers in Oregon
hail the defeat as such a stunning blow to the Demo-
crats and such a triumph for the Republicans or as
the Salem Capital Journal expressed it, a clear cut
, .W.i'ciVa vitnrv of "nrivatp pnt.PrnrifiP OVPr social

Certainly socialism is an issue at least it was two
and four years ago when Congressman Ellsworth
jumped on" the band wagon at the head of the pachy
derm parade, and scored his opposition for favoring
socialism which he maintained was a synonym for
communism.
Perhaps the Eugene Guard really means the voters
of the Upper Willamette at the moment don't give a
hoot about Hells Canyon, or any other political issue
that is. it is not so much indifference to this particu
lar issue, as a strong prevailing public apathy con
cerning all of them.
If that is true, then the Mail Tribune would be
inclined to agree.
It may merely be the heat. But if there is any keen
interest in the approaching campaign outside of the
political "pros" on both sides and the politically
minded newspapers on the other, we have been unable
to detect it in the lower Rogue River Valley, at least.

Nasser Suffers Severest Setback
WhenOffersfor Dam Are Rejected
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
President Gamal Abdel Nas
ser of Egvpt has suffered his
severest setback since he over-
threw King
Farouk four
years ago.
When he
went to Yugo
slavia last
week to con
fer with Presi

and Indian
Prime Minis
ter Jawaharlal
Charles Met ann
Nehru. Nasser was riding high.
He was building himself up as
leader of the Arab nations. He
was playing the West against
the East in his diplomacy with
apparent success. He was being
headlined as one of the world's
three leading "neutralists."
Then things began to happen.
The United States announced
the cancellation of its offer to
help finance Egypt's great As
wan high dam Nasser's dream
of putting his country on the
path to greatness.
Britain followed suit next day
by cancelling its own offer of
aid in financing the dam.
Bank Loan Withdrawn
The cancellation of the Unit
ed Slates and British offers
meant the automatic withdrawal
of the offer of a S200. 000. (lull
nam loan by tne International
Bank for reconstruction and de
velopment, j
Then Soviet Foreign Minister
Dmitri T. Shepiiov announced
that Ilussia was not considering
an ofter of aid in building the ;
dam. It had been reported that
Russia was. willing to finance
the entire project. ;
To make things worse, Nasser i
failed in his attempt in the I
Yugoslavia conference to get
Tito and Nehru to promise him
full support in his campaign
against France in North Africa.
It looks very much, at the
moment, as if Nasser had out
smarted himself.
Prestige Is Threatened
His prestige with Egypt's fel
low Arab countries is threat

position will be weakened un

Odds Long That Adlai
Will Be Renominated
Within Three Ballots
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The odds
are long now that Adlai E. Ste
venson will be renominated for
president with
in three bal
lots by next
month's Demo
cratic national
convention.
For what
may be the
handwriting on
the wall, com
pare the stand
ing of the can
didates as it is estimated today
with the actual first ballot in
Chicago four years ago.
Three of the men who were
prime contestants in 1952 are
bucking heads again Steven
son. Gov. Averell Harriman of
New York and Sen. Estes Ke
fauver of Tennessee. A United
Press tabulation shows Steven
son this year to be far ahead of
his first-ballot position in 1952.
The UP credited Stevenson now
with 4 1 1 1 2 known first ballot
votes; Kefauver. 146; Harriman
145.
Nominating Minimum Higher
The first ballot of the 1952
Democratic national convention
took place four years ago
Wednesday. Kefauver led with
340 votes; Stevenson was second
with 273; Sen. Richard B. Rus

diplomatic pit which he dug for
himself.
Nasser's dream of a greater
Egypt is based on the construc
tion of the SI. 3 billion dam. Its
waters are planned to increase
Egypt's agricultural output by
at least 33 per cent, and its elec
tric power production by 800
per cent.
Nasser had taken an increas
ingly anti-Western attitude ever
since he got into power.
Last fall Nasser entered an
agreement with Russia under
which Communist Czechoslo
vakia started sending arms to
Egypt. It was believed that the
amount involved was about
S100.000.000. It now appears
that S250.000.000 is a more like
ly figure.

Long Sessions Signal
Last Lap of
Washington, (CQ) Twelve-
hour daily sessions and passage
of nearly a bill a minute dur
ing one recent two-hour period
signaled the start of the last
lap of the 84th Congress.
July 31 was set by the Legisla
tive Reorganization Act of 1946
as the final day for each Con
gressional session, barring a na
tional emergency . Although the
emergency declared Dec. 19,
1D50, during the Korean war
never has been rescinded. Con
gress is hopeful of leaving Wash
ington by that date.
Aiding the House and Senate
in meeting their deadlines is
the start of the national political
conventions Aug. 13.
Consent of Other
The Constitution says neither
chamber may adjourn for more
than three days at a time with
out the consent of the other. So,
as Senate and House leaders see
a definite date in sight for ad
journment, the chambers agree
to a resolution setting the day
adjournment will be effective.
Either chamber then may stay in
session until midnight of that
day.
Congress can adjourn either
"sine die," finally and tyithout
naming a date for reassembling
that year, or until "a day cer
tered. Necessary to nominate in
1952 was a minimum of 616
votes. This year the nominating
minimum will be 686' 2.
Harriman began to fold on the
second 1952 ballot. Kefauver
and Russell gained, but not
enough. Stevenson went to
324 '.2 and won the nomination
on ballot No. 3. Of the left wing
ers who sought to stop Steven
son four years ago, some are
dead or otherwise out of poli
tics. Others have deserted Har
riman or Kefauver for Steven
son. Of the notable stop-Stevenson
musketeers only Gov. G.
Mennen Williams of Michigan
and his political associate, la
bor's Walter Reuther, remain at
the breastworks where they were
so badly licked four years ago.
Sen. Blair Moody of Michigan
was floor manager of the forces
of the left. He is dead. Franklin
D. Roosevelt Jr. is in political
eclipse which promises to be per
manent. His brother, James, a
Kefauver man in 1952, is whoop
ing it up for Stevenson as a mem
ber of California's delegation.
Learned Hard Way
Generally young and well left-of-center
politicians got their
lesson the hard way four years
ago this week when they tried
to toss the Virginia, South Caro
lina and Louisiana delegations
right out of the convention.
Those delegations had refused
to sign a pledge to support the
party nominee.
Mere boys, by comparison,
most of them, they would have
booted out such men as Byrd
and Battle of Virginia, Byrnes
of South Carolina and the like.
The South, the so-called mod
erates and the party's old pros
would not have it nor would
they have Harriman or Kefau
ver either.
It looks like pretty much the
same set up for the next con
vention, except that former
President Truman appears this
time to be against Stevenson and
for Harriman while many a 1952
Kefauver-Harriman rooter is a
Stevenson man today.

offered last December to make
Nasser a S56,000,000 grant to
ward the dam costs. Britain of
fered S14.000.000. The United
States offered to consider pro
viding S130.000.000 more.
Nasser was flying back to
Cairo from Yugoslavia with
Nehru when the blow fell. The
United States said it was not
convinced that Egypt could do
its part in financing the dam,
for one thing. But there is no
doubt that the American and
British action was a political,
not an economic, background.
Nasser is to make a big speech
Thursday. It probably will be
better. A Cairo newspaper also
reports that he plans to visit
Moscow August 13.
Nasser may come up with
something to retrieve his loss. It
looks as if he better had.
Congress
tain, adjournment until a fixed
date.
Congress also may authorize
its leaders to call it back in ses
sion before the fixed date as the !
80th Congress did in 1947 and
1948. J
Should the chambers disagree j
over adjournment, the Constitu
tion authorizes the President !
to adjourn Congress "to such
time as he shall think proper." j
Xo President ever has had to do i
this. The President may recon
vene Congress for a special ses
sion to consider specific topics
after Congress has adjourned.
Committee Named
As the adjournment hour ap
proaches, a joint Senate-House
committee is named to appear
before the President, tell him of-
ficially that Congress is prepar
ing to close and ask him if he
has any messages for the legisla
tors. The president, well aware the
session virtually is over, normal
ly won't have any special mess
ages and the committee mem
bers will return to Capitol Hill
to so tell their respective cham
bers. To help speed the legislative
process, the House will stream
line its rules during the last six
days of the session. The Speaker
will entertain motions to suspend
the rules entirely, a procedure
that generally can be considered
only twice a month earlier in
the session. The House also may
consider compromise reports on
deadlocked legislation immedi
ately instead of waiting for the
reports to be reprinted and may
vote on other legislation as soon
as the Rules Committee sends it
to the floor.
Changes in Procedure
The Senate, needing fewer
legislative rules because it has
but 96 Members to the 435 Mem
bers in the House, needs no such
changes in procedure.
As part of their final action,
both chambers empower their
chairmen to sign legislation after
adjournment, thus making it of
ficial and ready for the Pres
ident's signature.
In both chambers, the final
minutes of the session are spent
in extolling the leadership and
officers, thanking them for the
fine job they have done.
Each party's leadership also
thanks the opposite party and its
leaders for their cooperation and
recaps the accomplishments of
its own party.
The more sedate Senate tends
to remain serious until the final
banging of the gavel, but in the
House the last minutes are spent
in almost a carnival atmosphere.
Band Music
Representatives have been
serenaded by band music; in
dividual Members break out
their harmonicas and talent,
sing and tell stories until the
clock on the gallery railing says
it's time to go home.
The President's duties with
regard to Congress do not end
until 10 days after he has
received all the approved legisla
tion. When the Members leave
the Capitol, they also leave the
President with about 500 bills
passed in the final days that he
must consider, then sign or veto.
Unless he signs the bills within
10 days after they reach his desk
the bills do not become law. This i
is called a "pocket veto."
In 1956, as in other years when
the second session ends, legisla
tion not sent the President dies
in Congress and must be rein
troduced during the next Con
gress the 85th that will con
vene in January, 1957.

117 States Turn Back
Salk Vaccine Supply
As Demand
Washington ..UP.) The Pub
Health Service announced to
day that 17 states have turned
back nearly 2.500,000 Salk polio
shots because of lagging demand.
It was the biggest rejection of
vaccine allotments in tbe history
of the nationwide inoculation
program. It signaled a serious
slump in injections in a large
part of the country.
Officials said they are doing
everything they can to stimulate
greater use of the vaccine
where demand is lagging. They
consider this particularly import
ant with the nation heading to
ward the peak of the 1956 polio
season.
The Health Service is ship
ping the vaccine turned back by
the 17 states to other areas
where the life-saving shots are
in greater demand.
The states which turned back
the nearly 2,500.000 shots are:
Alabama, Arkansas. Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Indiana. Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada,
Ohio. South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, and West Virginia. They
can apply for the vaccine later
if thev need it.
In The Day's
Foreign affairs note this
time on the hopeful side: I
President Eisenhower has ar-
rived in Panama City for the j
long - scheduled conference of j
American heads of state. When j
he stepped off the Presidential i
plane after an overnight flight
from Washington he was greeted
U I (lILiIilcl icHiciu nimo
1 (pronounced Ah-REE-Ast and an
honor guard from the Panamani
an national guard.
There is no formal agenda for
the conference, but the President
is known to be planning chats
with each of his fellow chief ex
ecutives in an effort to get closer
to their individual problems.
T ET'S put it this way:
America is AMERICA. Its
problems are AMERICAN prob
lems, more or less uncompli
cated by the ancient hatreds and
the ancient injustices of the older
world. We are all neighbors in
the NEW world.
If the United States is to con
tinue to contribute financially to
the upbuilding of the economies
of other nations, it will be wise
if it makes its major contribu
tions to its neighbors of the New
World.
HERE'S a fresh new note- in
political thinking:
The Republican Associates of
Los Angeles county have adopted
what thev call a Statement of
Principles. The organization's
policy chairman says the state
ment is not a platform but states
PRINCIPLES upon which a plat
form might be built. The state
ment says there are three con
cepts which have been underly
ing features of our nation's de
velopment. They are:
1. Maintenance of constitu
tional government.
2. Freedom of economic oppor
tunity. 3. Redevelopment of LOCAL
self-government.
I'M INCLINED to think the na
tional GOP might do well to
adopt this statement of principles
in its entirety and let it go as .
the party platform.
The old sticky-flypaper-put-out-to-catch-votes
type of party ;
platform is pretty badly outworn. !
I doubt if may modern voters ;
are'impressed by such tripe. j
PURE POLITICS note using
the word "pure" in the sense
of "unadulterated":
Governor Averell Harriman of
New York, who is gunning for
the Democratic nomination for
President, says in a speech to the
Colorado state Democratic con
vention that President Eisenhow
er has set his sights too low in j
predicting the nation's economic i
growth in the next decade.
I NESBITT'S M-

' GR0CER iSL
Decreases
The Health Service announced
the release today of 3,137,922
more shots, mostly made by Eli
Lilly of Indianapolis. This boost
ed this year's output so far to
more than 52.000.000 shots far
more than the 30,000.000 re
leased in the whole of 1955.
With production booming, of
ficials conceded that demand is
spotty. In the New York, New
Jersey, and New England areas,
they said, it is far greater than
supply. In most other areas, it
is only slightly greater than
supply. And in at least 17 states
supplies are ahead of demand.
There are about 65.000,000
persons in the current priority
groups, pregnant women and
children up to 20 yean old.
There has been talk of opening
the priorities up to adults in
some areas. Oregon allows per
sons up to age 30 to receive the
vaccine.
But officials here said every
one in the priority group still
hasn't been taken care of (two
shots) so there is no immediate
move to ease the national pri
orities. These are only volun
tary, however, and states are
free to decide for themselves.

WEATHER note:
' A New Mexican county
commission has asked New Mexi
co's governor John F. Sims to
seek a court order halting cloud
seeding on the West Coast on the
ground that it is robbing the
clcuds of rain that might other
wise fall on New Mexico.
Another New Mexican, the
state engineer, doesn't think
much of the idea. He says most
weather scientists think there is
only a remote chance that cloud
seeding has any measurable
effect on New Mexico's rainfall.
A New Mexican rancher and
engineer, supporting the pro
posed ban on cloud seeding,
points to the alleged fact that
Oregon and Washington have
had from 18 to 21 inches more
rain than normal during the past
six years while New Mexico has
had 21 inches less than normal.

Fire insurance gets complicated
with "added extended coverage",
etc., which still leaves many losses
uncovered. Does your agency have
a new "all risk" fire insurance
which blankets virtually all physi
cal loss that can happen to a home
and landscaping?
