THE DEMOCRATIC CASE
By SEN. MIKE MANSFIELD
Written for United Press
If we need a specific example
of what is wrong with this ad
ministration's foreign polciy it is
provided by the question of hy
drogen bumb tests.
Some weeks ago. the Demo
cratic candidate for president
made a proposal designed to ex
plore the possibilities of stop
ping these tests, not only by
this country but by Russia as
well. It was - a serious proposal
advanced to meet a very serious
problem.
If the United States. Russia
and. as will be the case sooner
or later, other countries go on
testing these bombs, every man,
woman and child in the United
States perhaps the world may
be subject to danger of radio
active poisonjns. That is scien
tific opinion. If the President
and Admiral Strauss (Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss) of the Atomic
Energy Commission don't know
it, then it is about time that
someone informed them. Mr.
Stevenson reminded the Presi
dent of this problem and sug
gested a possible answer to it.
Horror and Indignation
How was his proposal greeted
by the administration. Loud cries
of horror and indignation came
from first lieutenant Nixon and
other members of the high com
mand of the republican party.
Then, apparently when the so
called specialists in the White
House discovered that the Amer
ican people do not regard hydro
gen bombs as "a matter to be dis
missed lightly, the President
himself took to the field. He
promptly distorted Mr. Steven
son's proposal and in effect ad
vised the Democratic party and
the American people that they
had no business to bo discussing
hydrogen bombs.
The attitude of the adminis
tration in this instance is not
much different from its behavior
in other critical foreign policy
questions. It is a compound of
pompousness and piety in words
and stalling and stumbling in
action.
The Eisenhower administra
tion came into power with bold
promises of leading the way to
disarmament and even put the
forgotten man, Harold Stassen.
in charge of this project. It was
liberal with talk on the libera
tion of Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary.
It promised to seize the initiative
in the struggle with Communism
and to give the American people
"bold, new, positive foreign
policy." The unity of the West
ern nations was going to be re
inforced by a soldier in the
White House who understood
these matters and the old Demo
cratic policy of "containment"
was to be done away with.
Europeapi Will Remember
What has it delivered? It has
delivered a measure of disarma
ment by cutting our own armed
forces without any asreement
with the Russians to cut theirs.
The people of Eastern Europe
will long remember the Republi
can campaign promises of 1952
j to "liberate'' them, but they will
, remember them with bitterness
; If these countries eventually re
;gain their national freedom, and
, I firmly believe that they will, it
I will be in spite of. not because
of the promise of this adminis
i tration.
j The administration has not
f only failed to seize the initiative
! against Communism, it has al
lowed the Communists to leap
: the wall of containment and to
make end-runs around it. Com
j munist economic and political
; penetration was never more in
I tense in Asia, the Middle East
. and Africa. Even Latin America
has begun to feel the impact of
the Soviet drive.
Western unity has not been
j reinforced by this administra
i tion despite the fact that the
i President knows as well as any
J one how vital that unity is to
the security of the United States.
I On the contrary, it has been
' permitted to disintegrate to the
! point where a failure in the
I Suez Crisis could well mark-trie
end of the NATO and other ma
chinery of cooperation in the
common defense of freedom
machinery which cost billions of
dollars to create.
Foreign policy under this ad
ministration has been neither
bold nor new as promised. Yet
I tiie time is rapidly approaching
when we shall need both bold
and new policies to safeguard
the vital interests of the United
States. We shall not get them
from this tired administration
which uses words where deeds
are needed.
This administration has not
developed one new idea or one
new policy in the field of for
eign affairs. It has been getting
by on the old Democratic policy
which many Democrats have felt
has, in many respects, outlived
its usefulness
Coon Protests
ian Hearing
Klamath Falls ,'U.R) Rep.
Sam Coon (R-Ore.) today pro
tested the proposed hearing
here Thursday by a Senate in
terior and insular affairs sub
committee on the Klamath In
dian reservation termination
act. and accused Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) of playing
politics.
"I don't doubt the necessity
of a liquidation program," Coon
said. "In fact, I have promised
to introduce a delaying amend
ment in the next session, to
hold up termination proceed
ings until the matter has been
studied more thoroughly."
But he criticized Neuberger,
a member of the Interior and
Insular Affairs Committee, for
"Hying to tackle this compli
cated problem In one day in the
middle of the election cam
paign." Coon said: "This obviously is
a purely political scheme de
signed to discredit candidates
for office." Although he men
tioned no names he indicated
the move was aimed particular
ly at Douglas McKay, former
interior 'secretary who is Repub
lican opponent to the election
of U.S. Sen.' Wayne Morse, Ore
gon Democrat.
THE REPUBLICAN CASE !
By SEN. ALEXANDER WILEY
Written for United Press
When President Eisenhower
came into office January, 1953,
he pledged his administration to
use "America's influence in
world affairs with such fortitude
and such foresight that it will
deter aggression and eventually
secure peace."
To fully comprehend how the
President has carried out his
promise, let's look back to the
world situation at the time he
w as inaugurated.
The United Stales was in
volved in a bitter stalemated
war in Korea that had already
cost us 127,500 casualties. The
search for a workable armistice
had gone on for a year and a
half with no results. There was
a good possibility the war might
explode into a general atomic
holocaust with Soviet Russia.
In Europe. Germany, unarmed
and uncommitted, teetered nerv
ously between East and West. '
Austria, promised her freedom 1
10 years earlier, was Russian
occupied with no prospects in
sight for the liberation she
craved.
Reds Making Inroads
Trieste was a trouble spot be
tween Italy and Yugoslavia, Iran
with its vast supply of oil. was
virtually under Communist con
trol, and the Reds were making
inroads into Southeast Asia.
In our own hemisphere, the
Communists were gaining an
economic foothold in several
countries and a political hold
over Guatemala.
Let's look now ot the world
situation as of October, 1956.
The Korean war was settled in
July, 1953. under the terms of
an armistice more favorable
than those sought by the former
administration. The President
also concluded a mutual security
treaty with the Republic of Ko
rea which served notice on the
Communists that any infringe
ment of the armistice would lead
to immediate United States re
taliation. In Europe. NATO has been
strengthened by the addition of
the federal republic of Germany.
Austria was freed in May, 1955.
by a treaty under which the Red
Army took its first step back
wards since World War II.
Agreement on Trieste
By patient negotiation, the
United States and Great Britain
assisted Italy and Yugoslavia in
arriving at a common agreement
over Trieste. In Iran, the pro
Communist government was
overthrown, and the United
States served in the role of
mediator between Iran and Bri
tain in settling the oil contro
versy. SEATO was created in
1954, to deter Communist ag
gression in Southeast Asia.
In Latin America, the Organ
ization of American States serv
ed notice that it would not tol
erate Communist subversion or
influence in this hemisphere.
Within months, the pro-Communist
Guatemalan government
was overthrown and replaced by
one friendly to the United States.
In addition, President Eisen
hower caught the imagination of
the world when he proposed be
fore the United Nations' General
Assembly in December, 1953,
the establishment of an inter
national atomic agency to pro
mote atomic energy throughout
the world for peaceful purposes.
Again, at the Geneva confer
ence last year, the President's
"open skies'' proposal to allow
reciprocal aerial inspection of
Russia and the United States
dramatically demonstrated the
desire of this country for peace.
Since he came into office,
President Eisenhower has been
resolute in his quest for peace.
His accomplishments to date
demonstrate the diligence of his
search. The Russins have drop
ped military aggression to com
pete against us in the field of
economics.
But, in a world in transition,
there are still many problems to
be solved. Under the President's
leadership, they can and will be i goal; An America, prosperous;
solved and we will continue to free and strong, In a world of
move forward toward one great I peace. ,

Thwart Bank Holdup
Portland iU.R; An employee
and a visitor were credited to
day with thwarting a holdup of
the Hollywood branch of the
Federal Savings & Loan Asso
ciation here.
Ken Lien, an appraiser, and
Kersey C. Eldridge, who was
visiting the office, grabbed the
would-be holdup suspect yester
day and threw him to the floor,
holding him until police arrived.
Employees told police the
man. wearing a sloppy hat and
mask and clad in worn dungar
ees, entered the office and an-
j nounced "this is a holdup." Po-
lice said he had a bolt in his
; pocket which he pretended was
a gun.
The suspect told police his
name was Frank Jones and that
he was 40 years old. He was
charged with entering the
branch office with intent to
commit robbery and bail was
set at S5000.
Police said the man denied
any intent to rob. He said he
entered "to make a loan."
