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.

That his services would be

Great Britain and France hardly
can be doubted.
Meantime, it is quite likely
that Nehru may urge Nasser pri

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

Egypt's economy also dropped

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.

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.

Discusses Pensions
To the Editor: All Veterans of
All Wars. 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

Any man with a half teaspoon-
ful of horse sense will tell you
that you, nor any other man or

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.
Vote for Wayne Morse for the
Senate. He is your friend. McKay
is not.

COUNTRY, uncomplicated b t
what will be good for the mem
bers themselves.
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.
