MAIL TRIBUNE
But It Must Be Cheap
This issue, affecting the very heart of the region's eco
nomic progress, explains why The Journal supports any
reasonable project which will augment the power supply
federal, private company, municipal, PUD or any reason
able partnership combination of the four. What the region
must have is power, regardless of source. Oregon Journal
That is a very fair-rriineded attitude but there is
one little word left out. That word is CHEAxY
It is not power from any source or at any cost that
has built up this region of the northwest industrially
and should continue to do
It is the CHEAP power chiefly produced by such
federal projects of a multiple nature as Bonneville and
Grand Coulee and would be produced by a similar
project at Hells Canyon,
TJIGH-cost power will attract no new industries to
this state. If cost is to be disregarded there is no
I limit to the power that could be produced in a variety
of fields including steam and atomic. - .
But the great advantage of federal water power
is, it is cheap power. We
away. Every cent the government advances is repaid
from the sales of power. But it is cheaper than similar
power can be supplied elsewhere particularly m the
East and Middle West, via the non-federal route.
That is what has attracted new industries to Ore
gon and the northwest and what keeps the industries
we have here NOT any power at any cost, but power
at a LOW cost !
IF private power, municipal, P.U.D. or partnership
can produce not only power in the same, or similar
price range, but also produce the many collateral
benefits of public power in the direction of flood-control,
irrigation and recreation then by all means let's
have it.
We would gladly follow the Journal's liberal lead-
! ership and go all out for it
be called.
But we would like to have some evidence that it
could be done FIKST. R.W.R.
Who Is Calling Names?
Speaking of "cheap power" here is a very inter
esting and revealing extract from the Alsop Brothers
column printed in Wednesday's paper following an
interview with former Secretary of the Interior Mc
Kay in his motel in Salem, quote :
As McKay alternated his fragments of reminiscence and
his charges of leftist plots, one began to understand his pain
and bewilderment. After such a career, why should he now
be open to attack? And if such careers were open to any
poor young American with any grit and self-reliance, what
was all this leftist talk about welfare and federal responsi
bility? Why were not the old ways good enough, as they
had proved to be for Doug McKay? And was not anyone
who challenged the old ways inherently a dangerous and
sinister fellow?
The problem is, of course, whether the assumptions be
hind these questions still hold true in modern America, as
they held true when Doug McKay set out to make his way
in the world.
It is a particularly urgent problem here in the North
west, where a booming private enterprise economy has been
squarely built on cheap power financed by the U.S.
Treasury.
That is entirely correct And while the question is
not answered no doubt is left in the reader's mind that
in the opinion of Joseph Alsop the assumptions behind
Mr. McKay's "pain and bewilderment" are not cor
rect. . . .
THERE is no "plot" leftist or rightist or in between
against him, there is simply a strong and growing
sentiment among the rank and file of Oregon people
regardless of party, that a person of Secretary Mc
Kay's reactionary and antiquated views should not
represent this growing and progressive state in the
Senate for the next six years. They don't dislike him
but they do dislike his political philosophy.
No one can accuse the Alsops of any bias against
the Republican party or its
no doubt is left m the opinion of the reader that the
essential problem is NOT how to save Oregon from
the "leftists" but how to save Oregon from Secretary
McKav. or anyone else
power with such obsolete
diluvian political concepts.
Strangely enough Secretary McKay seems to sense
this.
At least he remarked to
"Why right now, I believe I'd get more votes in Texas
than in Oregon. Down in Texas, they like states rights. But
these people up here are still yaketty-yakking about the
so-called give away of the so-called tidelands. HeU, I was
for states rights before I ever went to Washington, and I'm
for them still. The leftists are out to destroy Doug McKay,
but I'll fight them and I'll beat them yet, even though it's
an uphill fight just now." '
And Columnist Alsop continues : .
Through aU his talk of the campaign, there ran the
same note. He had been "persecuted" by "wild-eyed Demo
crats" who had tried to pin the "giveaway label" on him.
Wayne Morse, that "leftist" and "carpet bagger," had made
all sorts of unsubstantial charges. And what was worse, a
good many people in McKay's beloved Oregon had listened
to Morse and the other "leftists," so it was not going to be '
easy to win although he thought he could do it.
Very touching but we wish our former Governor
would name some of the "wild-eyed Democrats" and
"Left Wingers" who are calling him names.
Who are they and what names are they calling?.'1
We have heard none.
The record of Secretary McKay, not the -man has
been the only issue we have heard discussed.
True the "give away" term has been used, but the
"give away" charge is warranted and before the cam
paign is over certainly ample evidence to sustain it
will be presented. R.W.R.

Reuther Wins Another Round
Great Game of Labor Politics
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The Auto
Worker's Walter P. Reuther has
just won another round in the
great game of
labor politics.
If you were to
pick today the
' leader of or
ganized labor
. to whom Adlai
I E. Stevenson
owes t h
largest debt of
g r a titude, it
i,yie c wiisoo would have to
be this same Reuther.
Sen. Estes Kefauver is indebt
ed to Reuther, too, but not so
much. The immediate story prob
ably begins back there in June
when Reuther held a press con
ference here. For those who are
not yet wholly aware of Reu
ther, he is head man of the
United Auto Workers and No.
man in the combined AFL-CIO
of which George Meany is presi
dent.
Reuther told the newsmen last
June that he supported Steven
son for the Democratic . presi
dential nomination. He didn't
say it very loud or the reporters
didn't hear him too distinctly,
because the word failed to get
around as it should.
Announces For Stevenson
Next development was when
Democrats assembled in Chicago
for their nominating convention.
Reuther announced again for
Stevenson and rang all bells
The bells rang because Reuther
was bucking his governor by
then. Gov. G. Mennen Soapy
Williams was counted among
the stop-Stevenson group and
had arranged to have the Michi
gan delegation pledged to him
self as a favorite son.
Four times elected governor
of Michigan, Williams could and
probably did aspire to one place
or another on the national ticket
He opposed Stevenson on charges
that he was too moderate in his
approach to public issues. When
Reuther announced for Steven
son, the governor said, in eliect,
that he and the state's delegation
were unimpressed.
Midway in the convention.
however, the Michigan delega
tion met in emergency caucus
and under Reuther's pressure
dumped Williams as a favorite
son. Big Michigan threw its
votes to Stevenson and at that
point the candidacy of Gov.
Averell Harriman for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination
began to brake toward a sud
den stop.
Reuther More Powerful
From the outside looking in,
Reuther would appear to be a
better, smarter, more aggressive
politician than four times Gov-
Editorial Comment
DEMOCRAT(IC) PARTY
We're not sure who invented
it, but it was either Joe Mc
Carthy or one of his henchmen
who believes in fighting political
battles with a rock in his fist.
Anyhow, we thought the device
had been forgotten until, during
the Republican convention, we
heard orators speak of the Demo
cratic party as the "Democrat
party."
The idea behind this bold new
political weapon is that "Demo
crat party" doesn't sound so
genteel as "Democratic party."
It sounds, the theory is, some
how disreputable, and if orators
keep calling it the "Democrat
party," then the voters will turn
against an organization with so
ugly a name.
Maybe the system would
work, but we doubt it. And we
question that a Republican vic
tory, earned by such an approach
would be worth much. We think
the Democrats can and should be
beaten by a calm and rational
examination of the issues and
the candidates in cases where
Republican issues and candidates
are superior.
A corruption of the name of
the party that was Jefferson's is
childish as well as being dirty
pool. Eugene Register-Guard.
ROGUE CONTROL AGAIN -
The disastrous floods in the
Rogue River valley last Decem
ber stirred local people into a
desire for action, producing even
some sign of accord between fish
groups and irrigation - power
flood control groups whose pre
vious antagonisms had forced
postponement of any decision on
a river control program. Now the
corps of engineers has funds to
complete a flood control survey
which, in view of the previous
studies of the reclamation bureau
on the Rogue arid its tributaries,
ought not to be very long or ex
pensive.' Col. Jackson Graham
of the Portland office of the
corps, told a Grants Pass audi
ence the- various studies would
be coordinated, but did not say
how long it would be before his
report is ready. The Rogue basin
is one which calls for considera
tion 6f a variety of problems and
of uses. It ought to be possible
to strike a reasonable balance
among rival interests, preserv
ing fishing and recreation and at
the same time conserving flood
waters for use for power genera
tion and for supplementary irri
gation. That would offer the best
chance for payout on a compre'
hensive project. Salem (Ore.)
Statesman I
ernor Williams. And he would
seem to be more powerful than
the governor in the councils of
the Democratic Party in the
state of Michigan.
Stevenson owes Reuther quite
a hunk of thanks for the action
of the Michigan caucus. He is
further indebted to Reuther for
the action of the AFL-CIO Ex
ecutive Council in voting to en
dorse the Stevenson-Kefauver
presidential ticket. The coun
Ike's Health, Deeds,
Farm Problem Voted
Top National Issues
Washington (CQ) Presi
dent Eisenhower's health, his per
formance in office and the prob
lems of the American farmer are
the leading political issues in
the country today.
So say 380 members of Con
gress and top editors repre
senting both political parties and
all sections of the country in
a Congressional Quarterly poll.
The 187 editors put the Presi
dent's health and age at the top
of their list of issues. Senators
and Representatives 97 of
whom answered the poll give
top billing to the farm problem.
The 86 Republican Congress
men responding rate Mr. Eisen
hower's performance as Presi
dent the leading topic.
Peace, prosperity, segrega
tion-integration, foreign aid, tax
es and Vice President Richard
M. Nixon also are judged fore
most in the voters' minds.
Others Rate Low
On the other hand, some top
ics Congress nas debated at
length federal aid to schools,
veterans benefits, the loyalty-security
program and the "massive
retaliation" policy, for intance
rate low on the list of cam
paign issues,
Each editor and legislator poll
ed was given a list of 55 topics
of national concern to select and
rate from 5 to 10 as the "issues
likely to arouse the greatest vot
er interest in your district or
state."
They also were asked to rate
the degree of voter apathy or
interest in the coming cam
paign. Western editors and mem
bers of Congress said interest
is higher than usual; interest is
reported lower than usual else
where in the country.
One North Dakota editor com
mented, "The question of the
President's health has evoked
unusual interest and large dis
cussion. Otherwise, there would
be less than normal interest."
Ike's Views Dominant
In one way or another, opin
ions on Mr. Eisenhower seem
likely to dominate the 1956 el
ection. Editors and legislators
expect the November returns to
reflect a judgment on his record
office and his capacity to
serve another term.

his health first, his performance
third in importance. Democrats

Democrats, also rating health

Who 'Would Succeed?
To the Editor: Many of us in
this area believe President Eis
enhower will be forced by Re
publican overlords to undertake
grueling whistle-stop cam
paign.
From what we already know
about his physical condition and
from recent photographs of him
in the newspapers, some I have
talked to doubt very much if the
president is able to conduct such
a campaign. .
In event of his death prior to
election day, of course, Mr. Nix
on would then become presi
dent, but who would then be
come the Republican candidate?
Suppose the president should
die a day or so before election
day, would someone be appoint
ed by the Republican party or
would another convention be
held?
Would the national election be
postponed?

Democrats rank the farm prob

Prosperity No. 2
Editors and Republicans also
agree that prosperity is the num
ber two political topic in. the
country. Democrats, looking for
chinks in the armor, list the state
of small business as a national
issue. In the East and Midwest
they add unemployment to their
roster of important topics

Problems of segregation and
integration dominate the list of
issues in the South. They rate,
fifth and sixth, nationally, with
editors and Democrats.
These two groups also regard
Vice President Nixon as an im
portant issue. He is third on the
Democratic list and seventh on
the editors'. Interest in the Nix
on issue is greatest in the West
and the East, but Republicans
in no section of the country list
him among the top 10 topics of
public concern. (The poll was
completed before Harold E. Stas-
sen began his campaign to deny
Nixon the Vice Presidential nom
ination).
Foreign Policy Low
Generally speaking, foreign
policy and defense issues rate
low in the poll. Republican
members of Congress put peace
third on their list of campaign
topics, foreign aid fifth, military
preparedness seventh and the
Korean armistice ninth.
Democrats put the emphasis
on the United States' current
world position sixth on their
list and also list foreign aid
among the top 10. Editors rate
peace fifth, foreign aid eighth,
military preparedness ninth.
They do not list Korea or cur
rent U.S. world position among
the top 10.

Lippmann
point Mr. Shepilov as well as Mr.
Krishna Menon made it quite
plain that they as users of the
canal believe they have an in
dubitable right to free and equal
navigation at reasonable rates
under efficient operating condi
tions and that these rights
should be guaranteed by moder
nizing the conventions of 1888.
Mr. Dulles has been making
a good case. But he might have
strengthened it had he dwelt
more emphatically on the unani
mity of the powers on this fun
damental question of principle.
rpHE ISSUE between the 18
nations who approve the
Dulles proposals and the four
nations, if we may count in the
Soviet Union, who approve the
Krishna Menon proposals, is
this: Shall the canal be operated
by the Egyptians, with an inter
national advisory board to watch
them, subject to rules laid down
in an international treaty? Or,
shall the canal be run by an in
ternational operating board un
der the rules laid down in the
treaty?
The Indian argument is that
Col. Nasser, because of Arab
feeling, must be allowed to be
the official operator, though he
may be hedged in by a new
treaty and watched over by an
international advisory board.
The Western argument is that
Col. Nasser cannot be trusted to
operate the canal efficiently and
fairly, and that the key neces
sity is international operation.
The Western argument may
very well be right But it has a
fatal weakness; It is a proposal
to act on suspicion before Col.
Nasser has violated the rights of
the users. He has not in fact
done that except in the case of
Israeli ships. But this case is an
awkward one for Great Britain
and France inasmuch as the Is
raeli ships were stopped while
the old Suez Company was op
erating the caanl.
The - Israeli ships apart, and
they are apart by the tacit con
sent of the Western govern
ments, Col. Nasser is merely un
der suspicion and has not been
convicted. It would follow, it
seems to me, that there are in
this affair two bridges to cross,
and the second one cannot be
crossed until after the first
rpHE FIRST bridge is to obtain
-1- worldwide agreement on an
international treaty which sets
down clearly the rights' of the
users, and this is of critical
importance sets up or recog
nizes an efficient tribunal to
which complaints can be carried.
The second bridge is the ac
tion to be taken if Col. Nasser
begins to do what the West be
lieves he will do to misman
age the canal, to exploit it to
profiteer, and to use it for po
litical blackmail.
If the two bridges are to be
crossed in the same negotiations,
it will have to be, it would ap
pear, by developing a compro
mise between, the Indian pro
posal for an advisory board and
the 18 nation proposal for an
operating board. That should not
be beyond the wit of men. For
the line between advising and
operating is not sharp and ab
solute. In any event, the problem of
Col. Nasser and of the Pan-Arab
movement will remain regard
less of the technical devices
which have to do with the opera
tion of the canal.
