Santiam-pass reported one inch of new snow but pavement' is bare, the State O Highway Department said 'today. MAIL TRIBUNE A Great Anyone who has followed this department at all regularly some have throughout this now defunct campaign need hardly be tola tnat the victory ot Wayne Morse for his third 6-year term in the U.S. Senate compensates for disappointment in other po litical fields. We never thought that such a fabulously popular President as General Eisenhower could, even with the aid of Richard Nixon, be defeated for a second term. In the history of this country the number of Presidents denied a second term, except by the hand of death or refusal to run, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Ike would be the last for whom one would foresee an exception. (Nevertheless, for reasons often stated, we did what we could to make him one.) DUT as the record will show we concentrated on re turning Wayne Morse to the Upper House in Washington, and while as expected, he did not cany Jackson County the Republican majority was tre mendously reduced, and he carried the state by a ma jority far in excess of what practically all the experts predicted. . Considering the overwhelming opposition to him in practically a unanimous anti-Morse press, the huge sums spent on behalf of his opponent, in radio, news paper advertising and TV, as well as the greatly de sired and cherished blessing of both President Eisen hower and Vice President Nixon, the "pet hate" of the Grand Old Party, came through with colors flying, head unbowed, and a clear course before him to carry on for six more years as he has for the past 12, for what he BELIEVES to be right regardless of the party sanction. It was not only a great personal victory for 1 Wayne Morse but a great and much-needed victory I for courage, independence and principle above party i in the political field in America today. ! P. S. Later: it now appears Senator Morse even ; earned Republican Jackson county by a whisker. If ; official returns confirm this, the achievement of our senior Senator suggests the passed R.W.R. Outstanding in Defeat "It is easy enough to be happy When life goes by like a song, " But the man worth while. Is the Man who can smile When everything goes dead wrong." . Adlai Stevenson did not put on a grin exactly, but in his congratulatory talk to his victorious- opponent, after Democratic defeat became certain, he did, not only in what he said, but the way he said it, establish a new high for good sportsmanship, and sincere and selfless patriotism. ' He apparently took his text from Thomas Jef ferson, to-.wit: "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is free to combat it." I 'IKE the "Happy Warrior" he expressed no bitter ness and no regrets but took a pride in the fight that had been made, and expressed sincere and deep felt gratitude to those who so loyally fought with him. There was none of the ecstatic hand-pumping and back-slapping jamboree that greeted President Eisen hower in his presidential suite. No one in Chicago was chanting "We like Adlai" as they chanted "We like Ike" in Washington. But it was quite apparent over the Ty air waves, that the crowd assembled did like Adlai, they be lieved he had fought the good fight, and there was nothing phoney about their applause and cheers, nor their devotion thus expressed to the cause he repre sented. A GAIN following the lead of Thomas Jefferson when the country was faced with a similar crisis in foreign affaire, Governor Stevenson assured his successful opponent that at such a time "we are no longer Democrats and Republicans but we are ALL Americans." In that particular reference it was not only what he said but the way he said it. There was no tremolo stop pulled out in this por tion of his brief talk or any other, no solemnity in the group, no exaltation either; but just a calm and unruffled facing of the facts and genuine devotion a second major battle had been lost but not the war. A CCORDING to the professional politicians' code and former President Truman's as well this second crashing defeat will end Stevenson's active political career, in the presidential area at least, and probably , any other. Politically speaking, no one loves a loser, and par ticularly a second time loser. Well, mebbe so. But we will say this for Adlai he never more clearly revealed his true presidential stature or his keen perception of the real dangers confronting this nation, at home and abroad, than he did in the few words that he addressed to his followers, President Eisenhower, and the people of the country following his second crushing defeat as leader of the Demo cratic party. R.W.R. . British Casualties In Egypt Said Few London (U.R) Defense Min ister Antony Head said today that preliminary reports showed British casualties in Egypt "do not exceed 85. of whom not more than 20 were killed." Head told the House of Com mons that before the invasion of the Suez Canal Zone, photo graphic reconnaissance had shown the Egyptians had "dug in tanks and established strong, Thursday, November 8, 1S5S Victory age of miracles has NOT points along the front of Port Said facing the sea." "It was decided that 24 hours before the assault an air drop should take place with a view to clearing the strong point em placements," Head said. " It was carried out so effectively that there was no need for prelimin ary bombardment which would have caused destruction and casualties." Nixon, Kefauver, Seen Heirs to Political Leadership By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The elec tion made Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon and Sen. Estes Kefauver the most likely heirs in their respective par ties to the 1960 presid e n t i a 1 nomination. Angry stop Nixon and stop Kefauver cam paigns are just k. nusoo around the cor ner. They are loaded with polit ical trouble for both major par ties. Kefauver has been stopped before this. He came to the 1952 Democratic National Convention with solid delegate backing won in a spectacular blitz of import ant presidential primaries. Kefauver led the field on the first two 1952 nominating bal lots. He was stopped, finally, by a combination of big city Demo cratic machines, organized labor, conservative Southerners. The successful effort to cut Kefauver down to size was sparked by Today and By Walter HUNGARY AND THE MIDDLE EAST The drama in Hungary is tragic not only in the sense that it is a bitter sorrow to see so brave a people crushed; it is tragic also in the sense that the outcome has been fa tally ordain ed since the Nagy govern ment lost con trol of the re bellion. Uallcr I ninmann There are, we have every re.v son to believe, two stages in the liberation of a satellite- The first stage in Titoism or national liberty, which is not anti-Communist and which remains with in the Soviet sphere of military and political .influence. The second stage is complete liberty at home and abroad. No country which has once been within the Soviet orbit not even Yugosla via has ever reached the sec ond stage. The Hungarian- tragedy is that the rebellion tried to by pass the first stage, Titoism, and in doing that, it challenged the whole Russian position in East ern Europe. In the past ten days it has been ail too evident that if the Hungarian rebellion could not be stabilized about where Gomulka has stabilized the Pol ish rebellion, it was running into terrible danger. SHORTLY before the Red army struck, on Tuesday, Oct. 30, the Soviet government made the statement which so impressed President E i s e n hower. It outlined a new con ception of Eastern Europe that of a "commonwealth of socialist states." It was in es sence a declaration that the So viet Union would settle for Tito ism. By Sunday, Nov. 4, the Red army had crushed the Hun garian rebellion. The question is whether or not the Russian action on Sun day cancelled the Tuesday dec laration of Soviet policy. On the answer to that question may depend the fate of Poland, end the prospect elsewhere in the Soviet orbit. Teh answer will show whether within the So viet government there has now A Glance Newberg (U.R) Newberg voters decided Tuesday to keep their city "dry" by continuing the ban on sale of alcoholic liquors. Portland (U.R) Oregon cities down Several proposals to add fluoride to their water supplies. Coos Bay voters, however, passed a fluoridation proposal. Voters in Astoria, Gearhart and Warrenton decided to retain it. But Portland, Medford, Red mond, McMinnville, Eugene, La Grande and Klamath Falls voters rejected it. Roseburg (U.R) Circuit Judge Charles S. Woodrich won reelection Tuesday over Warren A. Woodruff, Roseburg district judge, for the district compris ing Coos, Curry, Douglas and Lane counties. Vale (U.R) Circuit Judge M. A. Biggs of Vale won reelec tion Tuesday over Charles W. Swan, also Vale, former Malheur county district attorney. Portland (U.R) Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dobson defeat ed Thomas P. Mahoney of Port land to retain his position. Springfield !U.R) Mayor Edward Harms won reelection Tuesday. St. Helens (U.R) S. S. (Heine) Heamann was elected mayor here Tuesday over incum bent Irvin R. Rau. Harry S. Truman, then president of the United States. Mr. Tru man was out front again this year in preventing Kefauver's nomination for president, an office for which Mr. Truman says the senator is unfit. Stop Nixon Bid Folds Nixon survived a 1956 "stop" campaign which had the Repub lican, Party spinning off its axis before it folded under pressure of grass roots Republican lead ers who not only like Ike but like Nixon, too. That campaign was to prevent Nixon's renomi nation for vice president. The 1960 play will be for big ger stakes and, correspondingly, it is likely to be noisier, angrier and more newsworthy than was the effort to keep Nixon off the ticket this year. Both the senator and the vice president are fa vored by new political circum stances. President Eisenhower is barred by constitutional amendment from seeking or serving a third term. Adlai E. Stevenson, who headed the Democratic ticket this year, has lost two successive presidential contests and is not Tomorrow Lippmann been a return to Stalinism, or whether Titoism, but not more than Titoism, is the Soviet policy. WHEN we turn to the Middle East, we find ourselves in the preliminary and exporatory phases of a new policy. We have not prevented the British, French and Israeli intervention, nor have we been able to stop it, and we have not, as our ac tion in the United Nations im plied that we would, been able to restore the status quo ante. A new policy cannot now be adopted until the Anglo-French military operation is concluded and its results known and appraised. In our planning at this mo ment we have to assume that the British and French will reach their military objectives and that organized Egyptian re sistance will have ceased. It is at this point, but only at this point when there is in fact a cse fire, that a United Nations police force could take over. The United Nations force could not intervene in the battle which is now being fought, and there is no reason to think that Britain and France will break off the battle in the middle. It is of vital importance to the world that Britain and France should not involve themselves in an indefinite oc cupation of the canal- It is in avoiding such an occupation that a U.N. force to police the armistice may prove to be very useful. IT IS difficult to see into the future as long as the out come of the military operations is not known. But it would ap pear that if the operations suc ceed, the grand strategical re sult will be to contain Egyptian military power west of the canal, and thus to cut off the Egyptian thrust for the domina tion of the Arab states of the Middle East. If that is to happen, it will take not only good manage ment but good luck. But if it were to happen, there would for the first time be the prospect of a negotiated peace in the Middle East.

BLM Timber Sales Bring $279,548 Salem (U.R) Some 11,775.000 board feet of timber on four tracts sold for $279,548 Tuesday, according to Otto C. F. Krueger, district forester for the Bureau of Land Management. Highest bid for douglas fir was S39.25 per 1000 board feet, made by George W. Gilmore of Molal la. Lowest bid was $26.50 per 1000 for 2,482,000 board feet in Columbia county. A bid of S32.95 per 1000 was made by Willamette Valley Lumber Co. for some Linn county timber. The Query Logging Co., Salem, bid $20.75 per 1,000 for noble fir in Clackamas county. Likely likely to be chosen to lead a third. Prior to the anti-third term amendment, a member of a pres idential administration was for bidden by the rules of polite poli tics to go out after the top place on his party's ticket until given the nod by his chief. His friends were equally handicapped. No Challenge To Ike It will be no challenge to Mr. Eisenhower's political future, however, for any member of his administration to reach now for the 1960 presidential nomina tion. It is beyond Mr. Eisen hower's grasp in any event. Pres idents do, however, frequently prefer to choose their successors. They like to handpick men to complete the program which no president ever is able to com plete, however many White House terms he may serve. The stop-Nixon campaign will be a double barrelled affair, di rected both at persuading Mr. Eisenhower publicly to endorse some other man for the 1960 presidential nomination and at persuading the American people that Nixon in unfit to be presi dent. The vice president's fitness for higher office was a major Democratic campaign theme this year. It seemed not to set the prairies afire. There were Republicans, too, who warned that Nixon's re-nomination would jeopardize Mr. Eisenhower's re-election. Harold E. Stassen took leave as White House disarmament aid to ex pound that view in a pre-con-vention stop-Nixon campaign. He ended by seconding Nixon's nomination before the Republi can National convention. In The Day's This is written on election day of the year 1956. If you have followed the radio bulletins dis criminatingly, I think you will agree there has probably not been another election day so grave and serious since the fate ful one of 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was chosen President. T ET'S go over briefly the events of this morning. The early bulletins indicated the British and the French were doing well in their lone wolf campaign to seize the Suez canal and humiliate and discredit Nasser. Then Egypt appealed to the world to help drive out the invaders.. The Moscow radio broadcast the appeal. At the. same time, Mos cow warned France and Britain to LEAVE Egypt. An . authoritative source in London announced immediately that Russia's notes to British Premier Eden and French Pre mier Mollet were beipg taken seriously and were not regarded as a propaganda stunt. ABOUT an hour later, in a d ra m a t i c announcement, Britain informed United Nations in New York that Anglo-French troops will end hostilities in the Middle East. Why did they stop when all seemed going well with their military enterprise? There can be only one answer. The grim developments of the morning must have convinced them that the evil genie they had released from the bottle when they attacked Egypt was too menacing to be .faced. ' MEANWHILE The United States served notice it will OPPOSE any Rus sian military intervention in the Middle East. A White House statement cautioned Russia against force and said it would in Oregon Oregon City (U.R) Demo crat Joe Shobe was elected sher iff of Clackamas county yester day over Republican candidate Ben Schuld.

McCANtf United Press Correspondent Poland appears at the mo mentment to be the big winner in the East European revulsion against Soviet Russiar nation. . The Soviet govern ment has become so. alarmed' over the open rebel lion in Hun gary -that it may yet mov Chirl Mct ann Its nuge army against the Poles. But as of now, Poland has established a -Tito-ist government and is proceed ing with a combination of cau tion and boldness to get rid of its Russian "advisers." - If the Poles do get away with it, the credit must .go to Polish Communist leader Wladislaw Gomulka. Gomulka has tried energetic ally to keep the Polish revolt strictly on the 'Titoist level. " Strives for Independence That is, he has tried to keep the Polish movement a political one, to make Poland an inde pendent Communist state with emphasis on the Communist la bel, and to give the Russians no excuse to intervene. They used to call Gomulka Po land's Little Stalin. He is a hard bitten, hard-core Communist, stocky, close-mouthed and tough He is very lucky to be alive. He was- sent- to prison as a "at versionist" when President Tito News f rank .Jenkins be the duty of ALL United Na tions members. INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES, TO OP POSE any such effort- ' TPHE big question: - Will Russia Visk war now? SPHERE are reasons to believe sne mignt tear to oo so. Her Eastern - Europe satellites are aflame with hatred of brutal Russian communism. The flames of this hatred are fanned to white heat by reports of what is happening in Hungary where Soviet troops are said to be hanging and shooting Hun garian rebels on sight includ' ing women and children. In the Hungarian revolution, the Russians faced two' choice conciliation or. brute : force They chose brute force. It is seldom wise for a despot to go to. war when he, fears he may not be able ' to trust the people at home and there are reports that Russians .ere fed up with communism. BUT Histnrv' tells. u Dlsinlv that when despots fear their own ; people they sometimes, start fox-. eign wars as a desperate ex pedient to 4ake the minds . of the people off their grievances with the despots. That might be the case now. t We'll have to wait and see. j Intercontinental Missile Said Near i Washington' (U.R) Builders ! of the Air Force's first intercom , tinental .ballistic; missiles ftint ! today the time is nearing when the ocean-spannixig niissile wilf be fired on its first test run.
