MAIL TRIBUNE Roosevelt We are indebted to diplomat and a member of the vigorous New York convincing appraisal of the otassen-Nixon struggle, As Mr. Roosevelt points out Stassen is not the issue before the people nor Governor Herter, but Nixon and what kind of he were to occupy the White House. The New York Republican (now living near Car mel, California) thinks he would be a very poor one, Here are some of his reasons printed in the Monterey Herald oi August 6, quote : May an old newspaperman and lifelong progressive Republican point out that, contrary to the impression con veyed in your reprint of Thomas O'Neill's article in the Baltimore Sun, the issue before the American people is not Stassen or Herter, but Nixon? To speculate about Stassen's motives or Herter's fitness is to confuse your readers. Long before Stassen spoke the problem existed. Stassen has merely brought it into clear focus. He has in no way altered it, nor has he solved it, because it is not in his power to do so. Only the leaders of the Republican Party can do any thing about it and the evidence is mounting that they are approaching the coming convention in San Francisco with an even greater cynicism than they approached the Re publican convention in 1920. In that year, with three ca pable national figures running as candidates for the presi dency Sen. Johnson of California, Gov. Lowden of Illinois, and Gen. Leonard Wood the party leaders maneuvered the convention in such a way as to defeat all three and then "put across Sen. Warren Gamaliel Harding of Ohio. They did not even pretend that he was fitted for the presidency. 'They chose him because he was "one of the boys." When I say that in 1956 the Republican leaders are showing even greater cynicism I mean that, as indications have increased that President Eisenhower's likelihood of finishing out a second term (if elected) is not too good, the old guard has become even more determined to have Nixon as his running mate. Their' reasoning seems to be , clear: Mr. Eisenhower's popularity is, if possible, even greater now than in 1952; in fact, it is so great that he can win even if saddled with a running mate who a large pro portion of his fellow-Republicans and most independents view wiih distaste, if not with dislike and even distrust; if Nixon succeeds to the presidency, the powers and pre requisits of that office will again be in the hands of "one of the boys,"' just as it was in the happy but inglorious days of Harding. In other words, the old guard leaders are for Nixon because he is their "man." Mr. Nixon doubtless has his admirers and supporters. But I have yet to hear anything to show that he is other than a typical politician's politician shrewd, glad-handed, glib, but lacking administrative experience or outstanding qualities of intellect or character. About the best that can be said of his qualifications for the presidency and I use the term advisedly is that he is not as unfitted for that high office as is California's Sen. Knowland which is about like saying that Sen. Bricker of Ohio would be less objectionable as a candidate than Sen. McCarthy of Wis consin. . The problem answers itself wjhen a simple question is put: Can anyone deny that most Americans would look ahead with more confidence if they knew that, in the event of Mr. Eisenhower's death in office, a man of the caliber of Dewey or Warren, rather than Nixon, would become President? NICHOLAS ROOSEVELT Big. Sur. R.W.R, Another "Ify" Question The pro-McKay press in the fact that Senator Morse can party can t be depended upon to stick with the Democratic party. Observes the pontifical Oregonian, quote: "Our unsolicited advice to Democrats is take with the proverbial grain of salt the statement by Senator Wayne Morse in California he will support any candidate the Democratic party nominated for the presidency." TO SUSTAIN such a Morse would swallow the nomination of a reac tionary southern Democrat for vice president?" "Now come, come, what has the VICE presidency got to do with it? People don't vote for vice presidents, they vote for parties and their leaders not their subordinates. The only reason Nixon the campaign is the health MEEDLESS to say we can't speak for Senator Morse, but there is no question in our mind that Oregon's senior Senator will do exactly as stated regardless of who the candidate for vice president may be, and vote for Adlai Stevenson, Governor Harriman, Sena tor Symington or whoever maybe. On the other hand, there is also no question- again in our mind that when Senator Morse said at the start of his career that he intended to put principle above party, remain a free man to follow the dictates of his reason and his conscience, rather than the dic tates of any party boss, he SAID. - ' And it is fair, we believe, time the Democratic party should fail as completely to represent what he believed best for his state and his nation, he would no more give his support to it than he would to the GOP or any other political or ganization. That spirit of moral rectitude, complete independ ence and courage, instead of being a reason for kick ing Wayne Morse out of the senate, is as we view it one of the biggest and best reasons for keeping him right there. R.W.R. . Bolivia Governed By President Again La Pat, Bolivia (UlR) Bolivia is being governed by a Presi dent, Hernan Siles, today for the second time in 30 years.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Democratic Convention Head quarters, Chicago (U.PJ The difference between the Demo cratic party ' s 1952 civil rights platform and what this year's version surely will be is simply this: The 1952 plank accepted the theory of separate, but Lyi c uiuon equal, treat ment of the races. The 1956 plank will plunk for integration no more separate treatment, equal or not. The language of the 1956 plank may be a bit involved. The Supreme Court and the decision on inte gration in the schools probably will not be mentioned by name. But the efect will be the same. The court's decision scrapped She separate but equal theory which the 1952 platform accept ed. Powerful forces in this con vention are determined that the Democratic party shall ack nowledge that major shift in the balance of the whole race re lations controversy. Humphrey Raised Issue To understand what is hap pening here it is necessary to go back to the 1948 Democratic Na tional Convention. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota brought the race relations con troversy to the convention floor that year. His plank was adopted over the angry protest of South ern Democrats. Out of that de veloped the so-called Dixiecrat bolt which broke the solid South away from a Democratic presi dential nominee as it never had been broken before. Humphrey's plank was regard ed as wild-eyed radicalism by Southerners and some others. It sought federal legislation to se cure to everyone: 1. Right of equal opportunity for employment a fair employ ment practices act. 2. Right to security of person. 3. Right of full and equal po litical participation. 4. Right of equal treatment in the service and defense of the United States. 1948 Plank Goe Further Four Southern states withheld their full electoral votes from President Truman in protest against those proposals. Four years later, in 1952, Southern spokesmen on the resolutions committee proposed to re-adopt that 1948 plank as a defense against a broader proposition which they saw coming and feared. That maneuver failed, and the 1952 Democratic plank Editorial Comment LONG FIGHT WON The final obstacle has been cleared toward removing a 39- year-old fish killer in Rogue river. Some conversationists are so optimistic as to say screen ing the pump and turbine in takes at Savage Rapids dam, which have been killing finger- lings by the million since 1917, may do as much, in proportion, for the Rogue river as the Hells Ga( ladders did for the Eraser river in restoring a sockeye run which had dwindled to the van ishing point. While there are many other factors harmful to fish migra tions and reproduction in the Rogue river system, Savage Rapids dam s unscreened tur bines often have been blamed for the major loss in steelhead and salmon. The dam was built in 1917 before federal and state laws required screening and besides, at that time, effective screening methods were un known. It was not until this ses sion of Congress that a bill by Representative Harris Ells worth, Republican, 4th district, was adopted and signed by the president, allocating $208,000 in non-reimbursable federal funds to the screening project. And it was not until July 17 that the final hurdle was clear ed. This was in the nature of an agreement negotiated by Arthur Higgs, assistant attorney general assigned to the Oregon Game commission, with the Grants Pass Irrigation district. It pro vides for permanent operation and maintenance of the screens by the district, with technical advice and assistance from the game commission. The screens covering the turbine intakes will be in place befoTe the 1958 irri gation season. Thus, the pros pects are brighter for restora tion of the Rogue sports fishery that Zane Grey knew and publi cized in the early part of the century. Portland Oregonian Sen, Morse To Open Campaign at Eugene Eugene U.PJ Wayne Morse, seeking reelection as a Democrat in the U. S. Senate, was scheduled to kick off his campaign in his home town of ugene today. Morse had nine appearances billed for today in the Eugene area with major speeches sched uled at the Willamette valley central labor council meeting and an evening rally in a city park.. . ..- . went considerably further. It called for legislation to perfect existing civil rights statutes and for vigorous federal action on behalf of civil rights. The 1952 platform also urged a change in the Senate rules to prevent fili busters against civil rights bills. The South didn't like the 1952 Democratic plank, and the Eisenhower-Nixon Republican presi dential ticket broke the solid Southern front. History Repeating Itself History is repeating itself here this week. Former Gov. John S. Battle of Virginia is suggesting that the party this year re-adopt the civil rights plank of 1952. Battle is a member of the reso lutions committee. Insofar as lie speaks for the South, the South erners again are proposing to go 'Scoop7 Jackson Seen Demo V-P On Geogra (This is the third in a series of CQ articles describing pos sible Democratic vice presi dential nominees. Previous stories have dealt with Sen. Albert Gore of Tennessee and Sen. John Kennedy of Massa chusetts.) Washington (CQ) Wash ington's Sen. Henry M. (Scoop) Jackson is the man Democrats are most likely to choose for a Vice Presidential candidate if they take the classic advice to Go West." Jackson, a 44-year-old bache lor with a nickname that has stayed with him since his days as a newspaper carrier boy, is not campaigning for the Vice Presidential nomination. But he leaves his visitors with no doubts he would accept it if asked. His hopes rest on his record and the political geography of the 1956 campaign. Congres sional Quarterly's study of his 16-year Congressional career shows Jackson has been more regular" than the average Dem ocrat. He enjoys the confidence of the party's powerful legisla tive leaders. Record Listed He is a moderate oif the tick lish civil rights issue. His votes for 90 per cent farm price sup ports, for public power and reclamation, against the Taft- Hartley Act and against the Mc-Carran-Walter Immigration law put him on the "right" side with key voting blocs the Demo crats hope to win in 1956. Democrats never have nom inated a national candidate from the far side of the Rockies. But there are good reasons why they may do so this year. Most important of these is Vice President Richard M. Nix on, a native Califomian and a potent campaign force in the West Coast and Mountain re gions. Democrats could figure they need a man from Nixon s part of the country to cut him down to size. Moreover, a Westerner on the ticket would strengthen the Democratic candidates in the area's crucial Senate races contests that probably win de termine which party will con trol the Senate in the next two years. Western Races There are eight Senate races in the 11 western states. None is considered a cinch for either party. Democratic incumbents face strong battles in Nevada, Oregon and Jackson's own state of Washington. The Republicans will have to hustle to hold their seat in Colorado. The main criticism of Jackson as a nominee involves no public or political issue but his bachelorhood.-Politicians like to plug their man as an aU-out advocate of home and family. This criti cism would apply more strongly if the Presidential nominee is Adlai E. Stevenson, divorced in 1949. Even without such political advantages as a family may con fer, Jackson has had a success ful career. In 1938, three years out of the University of Wash ington law school, he became prosecuting attorney in his home town of Everett. Two years later he went t6 the House from Washington's Second District. The residents of this extreme northwest corner of the United States re-elected him five more times. Recalled to Congress Jackson enlisted in the Army at the start of World War II, but was recalled to Congress by Executive Order after com pleting hi basic training. He won his big political test in 1952 by defeating incumbent Sen. Harry P. Cain (R) by 135, 000 votes despite Mr. Eisenhow er's 107,000-vote victory in the state's Presidential balloting. Jackson has teamed with an other freshman Senator, Stuart Symington Of Missouri, to form ulate the Democratic case against the policies of Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson. They won their most notable Victory this year when the Sea- back four years to a distasteful plank In preference to taking what they fear will hit them in a new one. Battle would stUl like the 1952 plank toned down a bit. He would accept it as is, however, and so would the South as whole. The opposition would come from the North and East. But that apparently is not to be. Since the 1952 plank was hewn, the Supreme Court has knocked out the separate but equal theory of treatment of the races. The North and East want that action acknowledged. The South would be compara tively happy this year to go back to the hated planks of either 1948 or 1952 on civil rights. This convention is not likely to do that Possibility phical Basis ate added $800 million to the Air Force budget. Jackson's running battle with Wilson began in 1954. He ac cused the former General Mo tors president of favoring his old company with defense con tracts. Last June Jackson said Wil son had "not been candid with the American people about U.S. air strength" and urged him to resign. In turn, Wilson demand ed an apology from the Senator. In McCarthy Hassle Jackson's first dose of nation al publicity came in 1954 during the controversy between Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) and the Army. As one of the Democrats who had been on a protest boycott of the McCarthy Subcommittee, Jackson tangled repeatedly with McCarthy. After one particularly stormy session, McCarthy's aide, Roy M. Cohn, threatened to "get even" with Jackson by showing Jackson had "written something favorably inclined toward Com munists." The hearings ended without Cohn bringing in his evidence, In the maneuvers and counter-maneuvers that have marked the competition for the Demo cratic presidential nomination. Jackson has remained complete ly neutral. He is not a delegate to the Democratic convention, but he will be in Chicago just in case the Democrats decide they need him. (Copyright 1956.

Jones Replies to Unger To the Editor: We can agree fully with Mr. Unger regarding Wayne Morse, if you want to get government tax money; as Mr. Unger suggests. Morse and his side-kick will give written guarantees that they both will favor your cause with all their influence providing Senior Sen ator is reelected with your help. They can refer to the billions of tax money at the disposal of Sen atorial votes, and pledge their entire power of influence in fa voring your, cause. The full value of the written promises of aid in your behalf can be found by en quiring at the city library for Senator Morse's record for 12 years and Neuberger's would be about the same for a shorter per iod. In that way you can see the value of your vote if Morse is reelected. Take Mr. Unger's advice, anyone having a vote to spare and wanting an open door advocate with access to the tax billions of our government as Wayne Morse, a college debate teacher and specialist with tax funds. Ira C. Jones, Stewart Ave. Medford, Ore. Matter of Fact i and stewo aip (Editor's Note: Joseph Alsop went to New York to cover A dial Steven ion's recent raid into Harriman territory. Meanwhile, Stewart Alsop was in Chicago talking convention strategy with the Stevenson high command. Here are their com bined reports.) New York Adlai E. Steven son has just bustled in and out of this city exuding confidence at every pore. He got $75,000 in contribu tions to his campaign fund at a small- pri vate dinner. He cocked a dig nified, reprov ing snoot at Gov. Averell Stewart Alsop Harriman.' He even consulted close friends about a speech he is already drafting the speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. The Democratic nomination is just about taken for granted, in fact, by Stevenson and his im mediate entourage. The with drawal of Sen. E s t e s Kef au ver and the de veloping swing to S t e venson in some of the important favorite-son del e g a t i ons arc thought, with good reason, to have left very little doubt about the outcome at Chicago. The problems of the ensuing campaign against Presi dent Eisenhower are now the dominant topic. It must be added that the Ste venson who is now arguing with his aides about the best way to handle the farm problem and civil rights issue, seems a very different man from the Steven son of last spring who treated primary fights as almost vulgar and still insisted that the nomi nation must seek him. He has not exactly acquired gusto for political rough and tumble. But the change is still marked. TT RATHER resembles the change in the kind of school boy who begins by disliking fights heartily; then learns that self-defense is an unfortunate necessity in this harsh world; and finally ends by becoming pretty good at it. In Stevenson's case this means, for instance, that ,he now tells you, almost with an air of discovery, that high level literary essays are not the most effective form of American political oratory. It means, too, that he is ready for a pork chops campaign, without undue emphasis on the rarefied issues of foreign policy and world problems. Above all, it means that Ste venson is ready (although per haps not eager) to wage a clas sical bush - whacking, whistle- stopping campaign, getting out on the vote-hunt almost the day the conventions end, and not abandoning the vote-hunt until voting time comes. The contrast with President Eisenhower, wag ing his campaign with six tele vision speeches, will be sharp indeed. And it is early days to say that a bush-whacking, whis tle-stopping Stevenson will not turn out to be a rather formid able campaigner. CHICAGO Since the with- drawal of Sen. Kefauver. Adlai Stevenson's convention strategists are no longer fearful of Averell Harriman's threat to split the convention on the civil rights issue with an assist from President Truman. They think they have the votes, both in the platform committee and on the convention floor, for a strong but not inflammatory civil rights plank. They think, too, that Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, Sen. Herbert Lehman and Sen. Hubert Humphrey, are civil rights allies fully worthy of Truman's steel. The Stevenson strategists are now talking, in fact, of a deci sive win on the first ballot; and they are going for it But the really big, though still tentative news of Stevenson's convention plans is a scheme to allow an Now ... I J THE OUAJCST SAFEWAY SALE EVER! B & M BROWN BREAD 24cl 19c Featured At open floor fight for the vice presidency after Stevenson haa been safely nominated. TF THE South were demanding a place on the ticket this year, a floor fight might be thought undesirable. But in fact the only serious contenders are Sen. Humphrey, Sen. Kefauver and Sen. John Kennedy of Mas sachusetts. Each has his impor tant advantages. Kefauver has his personal following and strong farm support Humphrey has strong farm support, too, and is ideally equipped to tan gle with Vice President Richard Nixon. And Kennedy is a high ly attractive figure who can be counted on to reverse the Re publican trend among the Catho lics. Partly, the Stevenson strate gists are inclined to permit an open free fight between these three candidates, for the very good reason that choosing be tween them is decidedly diffi cult. Partly, too, the idea of a free fight for the vice presi dent attracts the Stevenson strategists because it will give so much added interest and ex citement to the convention drama. But above all, it is held that this kind of open struggle for. the Democratic vice presi dential nomination will power fully emphasize the important but - difficult issue of "Ike's health and Dick Nixon." Altogether, the arguments for the scheme seem very strong. It will almost certainly be adopt ed if his advisors can only over come Adlai Stevenson's linger ing resistance to taking even a one-in-three chance of getting Estes Kefauver as his running mate. The scars left in the pri maries are healing, but they are healing slowly. - Copyright 1956. New York Herald Tribune Inc. Barnhart Low Bidder On School Work Klamath Falls H.
