SII MAIL TRIBUNE Yanted, A Few The country doesn't need a five-cent cigar nearly a.- much a? it need? a good honest-to-goodness corae dian. We have in mind particularly, good political com mentators, v. ho .-av things with a smile and a rapier thru -t. Not a self-conscious smile, above all not any TRYING t' We funny, but being funny because that ; is the- way they were constructed, and they can't be otherwise. We have in mind particularly, natural, spontane ous humorists like "Mr. Dooley" and "Will Rogers." They made more votes by kidding the two political parties and refusing to take them, or their candidates seriously, than all the snappy slogans, hoopla rallies and house-to-house canvassing, that the political "pros" ever conceived. And in this atmophere of humor both of them , talked good down-to-the-ground horse sense, about men, issues, taxes and what have you. iV'J HERE are the Dooleys odav? Thev are, as the by their absence. We have a number of commentators who are funnv, but unconsciously so. and their humor in creases in direct proportion to their lack of it, We could name some but will spare their feelings. Also : there are some who try to say things with a light touch, but who try so hard to get a laugh that the net result is to be depressing ; name a lev. of these most time, but as most or them happen to be Keputmcans, we might be accused of partisanship. OT onlv are good comedians entirely absent from the t lolitic-al scene but them on the contemporary stage, radio or TV. We don't deny we are prejudiced in this field somewhat, but since Fred Allen departed, and before him W'. C. Fields, real funny men in this area, are harder for us to find than the proverbial needle in a hay stack. W'e don't deny there are many who are popular and with the aid of their staffs of gag writers, get many laughs, but -Old Man River" doesn't laugh as he did when Mark Twain was pilot of that Mississippi "Show Boat'' and thereafter. PERHAPS before the present "free-for-all'' is over another Will Rogers or Mr. Dooley will appear but we doubt it. Our idea is they smashed the niould which produced these two masters of the brief but shattering political punch-line, also the sound Yankee philosophy that was so seldom absent. While their efforts were deliberately satirical and barbed with a penetrating wit, they were never partisan in the sense they took sides, were unkind or failed to get a laugh 'from the victim as well as the beneficiary of their offerings. Our attention has been called to Mr. Dooley of Chicago, who was as much a power in the field of American manners, humor and politics half a century ago as Will Rogers was two or three decades later, by an article in this week's "Nation" by Professor Barnet Baskerville of the University of Oregon and conclude today's contribution with the following extracts from same, quote : Q. Mr. Dooley. you have had an opportunity to observe the evolution of parly principles over a period of many years. I wonder, sir, if on the basis of this experience you would care to comment on present parly alignments as you see them. A. Years aso, manny years aso. they was a race be tween th' dimmycrats an' th' raypublicans f'r to see which shod have a choice iv principles. Th' dimmycrats lost . . . Th' raypublicans come up an" they choose th' "we commind" principles, an' they was nawthin' left f'r th' dimmycrats but th' "we denounce an' deplores." Q. Could you be a little more specific? For example, could you predict what the party platforms will be like? A. Th' dimmycrat platform this year will be wan smtmce: "We pint with pride to th' rottenness iv th' ray publicans." O. Certainly you don't give the Democrats much of a chance to win with a platform like that? A. The Democratic Party is niver so good as whin 'tis broke, whin rayspictable people speak iv it in whispers, an' whin it has no leaders an' on'y wan principle, to go in an' take it away fr'm th' other fellows. Something will turn up. ye bet . . An annyhow they'se always wan ray iv light ahead. We're sure to have hard times. An' whin th' la-ads that ar-re baskin in th' sunshine iv prosperity . . . finds that th' sunshine lias been turned off an' their fellow baskeis has relieved thim iv what they had in th" dark, we'll take thim boys by th' hand an' say: "Come over with ye'er own kind. Th' raypublican party broke ye, but now that ye'er down we'll not turn a cold shoulder to ye. Come in an' we'll keep ye broke." Q. You will remember the Republicans' promise Jo wipe out graft and corruption and introduce sound business' methods into the operation of the government. Do you think they have kept that pledge? A. Ivry year. whir, th' public conscience is arounsed as it niver was hefure. me frinds on th' palajeems iv our liberties an' records iv our crimes calls f'r business men to swab out our government with business methods. We turn it over to pathrites who have made their pile in mercantile pursools iv money wheriver they cud find it. We must injuce th' rc-tive. conscientious young usurers fr'm Wall Sthreet to take an inthrest in public affairs. Q. This is 195B, Mr. Dooley; limes have changed since the days of the "beef lrust," as you call it. Today's busi ness A. It seems to me that th' on'y thing to do is to keep poilyticians an' business men apart. They seem to have a bad infloonce on each other. Whiniver I see an aldherman an' a banker walkin' down th' sthreet together I know th' Reeordin' Angel will have to orriher another bottle iv ink. Q. Suppose we move on to what many observers feel will be Ihe burning issue of the campaign, the predicament of the farmer. A. D'ye know. I'd like to tie a farmer. Q. Oh? Is that so? That's a strange statement, coming from a lifetime cily-dweller. Do you feel a need to get closer to nature? A. No sir. th' raison I want to be a farmer is because I need sympathy an' pity an' I get none iv ayether. Ivry four years th' weary agriculturist is almost smothered be unthrained nurses. No wan iver sympathizes with me or pities me. No wan iver notices me politically. Ye don't see anny league formed f'r th' protection iv th' down-trodden Dooley. Ye don t find anny candydate advocatin" that th' govermint buy me surpluses in tin cint seegars f'r fifteen cints a piece . . . An' that's what happens to th' farmer between ilictions. Nobody bothers much about him . . . Whin there ain't enough food to 0 rund he's well off: whin there's too much he's broke. R.W.R. Tuesday. July 31. 195S Old Time Wits and the Will Rogers of saying goes, conspicuous and pathetic. H e could noticeable at the present there are precious few of India's Nehru May Play As Moderator in Canal By CHARLES McCANN United Press Correspondent Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India may play a big part in the Suez Canal dispute. Nehru is in a hetter posi tion than any! " L1 v 1 Charles McCann : Nasser of Egypt. other states man of world rank to make himself a mod erating influ ence. He is a friend of P r e s ident Gamal Abdel and his country is a member of the British Com monwealth of Nations, is being kept closely advised of all Suez developments by his am ! Nasser will listen to anything j that Nehru may say. And it is a safe bet that Nehru will sav nothing to aggravate the situa ! tion. Dispatches from New Delhi. India's capital, say that Nehru bassadors in Washington, Lon don and Paris. It would not be surprising if. when the moment came, Nehru decided to step into the situation in the role of mediator. Services Are Welcomed That his services would be welcomed by the United States. Great Britain and France hardly can be doubted. Meantime, it is quite likely that Nehru may urge Nasser pri vately not to mortgage Egypt's future by continuing his present I course. j Nasser is talking big. As dic ; tator of a backward. Dovertv- stricken country of 20 million people he is challenging the big three Western Allies to a fight to the finish. He also is antagonizing other countries all over the world, from Canada to Australia, to which an open Suez Canal is of great importance. Premier Mohammed Mossa degh of Iran tried the course which Nasser is taking now. He plunged his country into bank ruptcy and landed up in prison, charged with treason. Nasser Loses Head It seems that Nasser has lost his head, acting not on logic but in the heat of blind rage. He can cause a lot of trouble. But he can not get away with it. Nasser must have noted that Egyptian industrial shares slumped alarmingly on the Cairo stock exchange Monday. Losses ranged up to 15 per cent. The GOP Views Chance Of Getting Control Of Senate This Year Washington (CQJ Republi cans have about a 50-50 chance to recapture Senate control in the November election when there will be 35 Senate contests in 34 states. Congressional Quartely sur veyed the 18 Democratic and 17 GOP s ;ats, found that: Democratic seats are in danger in Oregon. Washington. New York. Nevada and one in Ken tucky .where there are two Senate races. Republican seats are in danger in Ohio. Colorado, Marylanad and Pennsylvania. Republican Edge Republicans have the edge in California. Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa North Da kota, Wisconsin and Utah. Democrats have the edge in Arizona, one Kentucky seat, Missouri, West Virginia and Ohio. Ohio quite likely will flip over into the Democratic column this year, even though it has a Republican incumbent. Democrats are sure winners in Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Caro lina, Oklahoma and South Caro lina, where there are two races. Kansas, New Hampshire, South Dakota and Vermont are safely Republican. A rundown on the top contest ed races: Oregon The GOP high com mand prevailed on Douglas Mc Kay to resign as Secretary of In terior to take on Sen. Wayne Morse, a Democrat twice pre viously elected as a Republican. Morse is the Republicans' "num ber one" target because, by switching parties, he gave con trol of the Senate to the Demo crats during the 84th Congress. Washington Race Washington Sen. Warren G. Macnuson (D) has strong com petition from Gov. Arthur B. Lanlie (R!. who also received a White House request to enter the race. Each man is a top vote getter in his party. Republicans sought to give Langlie a mighty boost by naming him keynoter at the Republican National Conven tion. New York Sen. Herbert H. i Lehman (D at 78 is undecided ' about running for reelection: Re i publicans have several strong I possible candidates. Neveda If 45-year-old Sen. Alan Bible (D) survives primary opposition he will have stiff com petition from Rep. Clinton Young i'Ri. 33 and a strong cam paigner. Kentucky The President price of cotton the backbone of Egypt's economy also dropped sharply. Nasser can not be expected to retreat right now. But it may not be long before he realizes that he is taking on more than he can handle. When that time comes. Nasser is likely to look to Nehru for some help in getting himself out of trouble. A Moderating Force Nehru increasingly regards himself with some justification as a moderating force in world Matter of Fact By TO WAFFLE OR NOT TO WAFFLE Egvptian President Gamal Adbel Nasser's seizure of the ! Suez Canal company is being compared in knowledgeable circles here to the aggression in Korea in 1950. and even to the assassi nation at Sara jevo in 1914 which sparked the first world war. Nassers action may not be 1 j that serious. But it is serious ! enough, as British Prime Min-! I ister Sir Anthony Eden's urgent j invitation to Secretary of State : .Tohn Foster Dulles suggests. At i any rate, it is worth understand-! ! ing just what is at stake. ' ! The bulk of the oil which j keeps the industry of Britain and Western Europe turning over passes through the Suez Ca nal. So does Europe's trade with Asia. The speech by Nas ner in which he announced the canal sei zure was ex t r a ordinarily bitter and irra- Stewart Alsop tional, filled with an infatuated sense of personal power. It reads in many ways like a speech by Adolf Hitler, with strong pro-Communist overtones. It is such a man, then who will have a grip on the economic jugular vein of Britain and Europe, if Nasser is allowed to get away with his unilateral action. It is no wonder that some of the British are talking very tough talking, indeed, in terms which recall the bad old prevailed on former Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R), the state's strongest GOP vote-getter, to give up his post as U. S. Am bassador to India to run against Gov. Lawrence W. Wetherby (D) to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen. Alben W. Barkley (D). Ohio Gov. Frank J. Lausche (D, the state's only five - term governor and Ohio's "favorite son'' to the Democratic National Convention, is out to take away the seat of Sen. George H. Bend er (R). This is the only Senate race in which the challenger has a definite edge over the incum bent. Colorado Candidates Colorado Ailing Sen. Eu gene D. Millikin (R) is not seek ing reelection. Colorado Repub licans must build up a candidate fast to oppose either former Sec retary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan or former Rep. John A. Carroll (D), vying for the Demo cratic nomination. Maryland Sen. John Mar shall Butler (R) is challenged by ailing former Sen. Millard E. Tydings (D). out to avenge his 1950 defeat by Butler. Pennsylvania Sen. James H. Duff R), an early Eisenhower supporter, has formidable oppo sition from Joseph S. Clark Jr., (D), former mayor of Philadel phia. Other interesting Senate races are shaping up in Illinois, where scandals in the state Republican administration may affect the re election chances of Sen. Everett hi. Dirksen (R: in Idaho where Glen Taylor (D), cowboy singer, ex-Senator and 1943 candidate for Vice President on the Pro gressive ticket is trying for a comeback: and in North Dakota where there has been a re-alignment of the parties. Beating the Bushes With President Eisenhower seeking re-election, Republican leaders have sought to capitalize on his popularity by beating the bushes for first-rate Senate can didates in races w:here there is a good chance to win: Democrats have put up a num ber of Senate candidates with impressive farm backgrounds in farm-conscious states, such as Brannan in Colorado, former Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard in Indiana and R. M. (Spike) Evans, former Agricul tural Adjustment administrator, in Iowa. (Copyright 1356, Congressional Quarterly) ''A j f 4 j r's Big Part Dispute affairs. Though many people have questioned his policies, no body has cast doubt on his hon esty or on his abhorrence of such international disputes as that over the Suez Canal. He had a good deal to do, as a man of good will, in arrang ing details of the Korean armis tice and helping to carry it out. He has offered a compromise on the Algerian situation which is being considered. If he can offer something to ease the canal dispute, he will be a very popular man. Joa and Stewart Aisop i imperialist days of Disraeli and ' Paimerston, when the canal was born. But it is also well to under stand the American stake in the matter. AMERICAN Middle Eastern oil also moves through the canal, and will henceforth do so, if Nasser has his way, only by courtesy of the Egyptian strong man. But that is only a small part of the American stake. The biggest part is the British alli ance. British prestige, influence and power have been shrinking steadily. If Egypt successfully defies Great Britain on a matter absolutely vital to British terests. then it is no exaggera tion to say that Britain is through, once and for all, as a great power. The value of the Anglo-American alliance, which remains the heart and soul of Western strength, will then be sharply and disastrously down - graded. What i mnrA Mh:,t has now happened is a very direct result of American, not British, policy. It is no secret that Jefferson Caffery, former American Am bassador in Cairo, had a lot to do with installing the Nasser re gime. Through Caffery, more over, very heavy pressure was brought to bear on the British to evacuate the Canal Zone. And it was Secretary of State Dulles who took the lead in the Anglo American decision to withdraw the offer to help finance the Aswan Dam a decision which led directly to Nasser's act of de fiance. It has been said that Dulles' decision was a triumphant gamble, because Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov subse quently remarked that the So viet Union was "not considering" helping to build the dam. The triumph may well be premature. After all, if two people are in terested in a piece of property, and one withdraws, the other is very apt to assume an air of indifference. The Soviet objec tive has clearly been to make certain that Nasser, when he goes to Moscow next month, will arrive hat in hand and without real bargaining power. THE objective has been achieved, and the danger of a Soviet-Egyptian deal which will make the Soviet Union the master of the Middle East must be added to the dangers inher ent in Nasser's seizure of the canal. There are other dangers. The Israeli, for example, count Nas ser their most formidable enemy. If Nasser now trium phantly defies the power of Bri tain and America, they will con clude that Israel is next on his list. The Israeli may then take "preventive action," or could spark a Middle Eastern or even a general war. In this situation there are three alternative courses of ac tion, all hideously unattractive. One is to waffle to protest, to denounce, but to do nothing. ANOTHER is to bring maxi mum economic and political pressure on Nasser. Egypt's sterl ing accounts have already been frozen, and other punitive meas ures can also be taken, like undercutting Egypt in the world cotton market. But this kind of economic arm-twisting has an unpleasant smell to the world, and it would leave Nasser no where to turn but to Moscow, which is precisely what Moscow wants. A third alternative is to send the British Parachute and Royal Marine detachments on Cyprus to the Canal Zone, and back them up ith the American Sixth Fleet. But the Egyptian army, such as it is, would almos't surely resist and war would result. Much of the world would regard the Western powers as the real aggressors. And a small war with Egypt might lead on to ultimate horrors. The British probably will not use force without American backing. This is an election year. Thus the betting is about ten to one on a policy of waffling, and the grumbling acceptance of anoti.'-r major setback for the weakening West. Copyright 195S, New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Attention Have you noticed that there is a very strong clique in Washing ton who are moving Heaven and earth to-jerk all pensions and Veterans benefits away from all Veterans of all wars? If not, you had better sit up and take notice now before it is too late. Hoover, the discredited ex president, and Gen. Bradley, the third rate general, have turned in a report to the President, and he to the Congress that is the most vicious and contemptible, as well as the most contemptuous that ever was seen in Washington. Every word of it was aimed at the veteran. The excuse: Econ omy. If true Economy is to be desired, why in blazes do not the powers that be quit sending OUR TAX MONEY across the seas to ! a people who despise us and will I stick a knife in our backs as did I v, 4;,.. Ti,, ur nr ! ll'u'1 uumiB ..... II? France got it that time as did we along with France. Any man with a half teaspoon- ful of horse sense will tell you that you, nor any other man or men, can buy friendship. It is just not done. Help a man a few times with no return and you will find he looks at you with contempt as an easy mark. It never fails. It is one of t ;e human quirks in all men. It is the same with nations. Uncle Sam is known all over Europe as Santa Claus or Uncle Shylock and you can take your choice, remembering that is used in sarcasm, not as a compliment. If you are dead set to vote against your own interests go ahead and vote Republican. But, remember this, also, we have now two Senators from Oregon who are for the Veter ans: Wayne Morse and Richard Neuberger. Believe me, I KNOW. I have their written statements to that effect. A vote for McKay is a vote to cut the Veterans throats and do not forget it. For it is true as the fact that the sun shines. You younger veterans will be old some day and, in the mean time, you may not have such luck as you may wish in gather ing in your first million. It could be you will wish for the privilege of drawing a pension or of going to a Veterans Hospital for some thing for which you cannot pay. So. if you vote for a Party who will take away pensions and benefits from all Vets, you may blame yourself. You are warned. Be wise, and vote in your own interests.

That raises a question: If the 84th congress wasn't as it might have been, why wasn't it? Another question: What can we 1o to make suc ceeding congresses better? ONE answer, I think, will take care of both questions. The wav to get better congresses is to get BETTER MEN into the congress. Let's put it this way: When you hire a man to mow your lawn, what you want is a good job at a price you can afford. If you get a good man, you'll be apt to get a satisfactory job. If you get a poor man, you'll be pretty sure to get a poor job of lawn mowing. The same rule holds for mem- tiers ot congress who are EMPLOYEES of the people, out of whose pockets their wages come. npHERE is this difference: -- The man who mows your lawn just mows your lawn and collects his wages, and that's that. The members of congress SPEND YOUR MONEY FOR YOU. When you hire a man to spend your money, you'd better be pretty sure you're getting a GOOD MAN not just a good talker. TACK to the Suez canal sit: a tion which is important to all of us because if it isn't hand led wisely by our legislators and our statesmen it can get us into war. Egypt's Man on Horseback Nasser returns to Cairo from Alexandria, where he proclaimed the seizure of the Suez. To ex cited crowds in Cairo he shouted defiance at British and French protests against his Suez grab. As Cairo throngs screamed "Down with Britain and France." "Down with America" and "LONG LIVE RUSS.IA," Nasser said: "I strongly warn the imperialist countries that their interference will cause obstruction of navigation in the canal." What he means by his last crack is that if Britain and France and the United States don't keep still and take it ly ing down he'll close Suez to the tankers bringing British and American oil from the Middle East fields and compel the to go around the far southern tip of Africa.
