Bill White and the Oregonian
The Portland Oregonian reminds us at times of the
late William Allen White, editor of the Emporia
Gazette, one of the most famous small town dailies of
the Twentieth Century.
Once when "F.D.R." was campaigning in Kansas
(we believe for his third term) his train stopped at
Emporia, and "F.D.R." always quick to recognize
familiar faces, immediately spotted "Bill" White in
the crowd.
He gave him a smile and a wave of the hand, and
beckoned him forward. Editor White came up to the
observation platform and the two shook hands warm
ly, the President asking how he (the Kansas editor)
was feeling.
"Better than I deserve Mr. President," said Mr.
White, with one of his characteristic and disarming,
cherubic smiles.
The President smiled back, and then said with a
to53 of his head, half to "Bill" and half to the crowd:
"Perhaps you are right. Between campaigns Bill you are
always for me but when election day comes around, you go
all out for whoever is opposing me."
THAT was true.
The present writer happens to know that Editor
White had little use for President Harding as a can
didate or as an occupant of the White House and the
Emporia editor admitted that Governor Alf Landon
was not of presidential timber. But in both cases
when election day approached he was going all out
for them and urging their election over their Demo
cratic opponents.
TN THIS direction Will White was very much like
Senator Borah of Idaho, who between elections,
was one of the most severe critics of ultra conserva
tive GOP policies, but when election year came
; around, he stood up and was counted as an important
j member of the Grand Old Party's "V.I.P." supporters.
e
fJR- WHITE partially explained this stubborn re
fusal to place principle above party, when he
finally decided not to join
dramatic Bull Moose secession, when he wrote in
effect:
"It is just about as easy
leave his party, as it is for a
his."
fF COURSE times have
Apolitical climate ditto.
erners do not feel dishonored and disgraced if they
vote Republican, and the same goes for many north
ern Republicans, including black ones who suffer
from no tinges of conscience when they vote Demo
cratic.
DUT to return to the Oregonian.
- During the recent campaign one searched in
vain for any kind words in that paper for public power
as against private power. All-out support was given
Secretary of the Interior McKay and Congressman
Ellsworth whose records were 100 per cent against
what the latter accepted as "creeping socialism" and
the former wished to replace with the phoney "part
nership plan."
DUT what do we read today? Not once or twice but
many times.
The Oregonian recently
the federal power and navigation dam at The Dalles,
for example, with great
that while it will sacrifice
values in the forming of
Dalles, there will be ample compensation of "solid
values" such as 1,200,000 kilowatts of electric power,
and greatly increased navigation on the Columbia
from Astoria to Indian rapids. Moreover it believes
some day this too will disappear when another fed
eral project the Oregonian
will yield another 1,105,000 kilowatts of power, while
navieration for seagfoiner shins and bareres from the
Pacific ocean to Pasco, Wash., in the Inland Empire,
will be, for the first time
Finally the Oregonian
fort of the' Columbia Development Association in its
effort toward persuading the U.S. Congress to put up
the funds needed to get John Day project started,
and convince the members that the "top heavy" U.S.
budget can stand this strain concluding those with
"the real welfare of the Northwest at heart" will
wish them well.
" A MEN and Hallelujah!"
That has been the plea of the Mail Tribune for
many years. It is the old
tween those who have the
and the northwest at heart, and those who worship
the false gods of selfish, private monopoly and in
creased private profits.
fTOR good measure the Oregonian also approves
the "Green Peter" federal power project not as
recommended by former
a partnership, but as proposed by the highly regarded
Corps of U.S. Army Engineers a federal multiple
project.
Needless to say the Mail Tribune welcomes the
powerful and enterprising Oregonian into the ranks
of those few newspapers of the state who have re
fused to swallow the tempting bait of "partnership."1
OOWEVER we still have our fingers crossed as
far as the purely partisan angle of the situation
is concerned.
At least we will be greatly and pleasantly
surprised if. in the congressional race next year, our
"favorite MORNING paper" departs from its long
established line of conformity and supports those
candidates who have "fought and bled" for public
power and Oregon's betterment against those who
have NOT. R.WR.

Soviet society

sort of intense
interest that

Joseph Aisop ine secrecy
of Sparta was one part of this
fascination. Another part was
Sparta's stability. Another was
the long record of Sparta's mili

answer to those of his own city
who too much feared Laconian

rather simple reason. In brief,
had the very interest and novelty

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
If you want to keep the Mid
dle East situation clear in your
mind, you must remember this:
Israel's promise to the United
Nations general assembly on Fri
day that its troops will make a
prompt and full withdrawal
from both the Gaza Strip and
the Gulf of Aqaba area is just
one more step in the negotia
tions to bring about (if possible)
settlement under which the
Israelis and the Arabs can go on
living with each other in this
strategic and long-troubled area
of the world.
The promised Israeli with
drawal from these areas that
were occupied by its military
forces last fall isn't in itself a
settlement. What it amounts to
is a LONG step on the part of
Israel toward an agreement
under which everybody will
TRY to live together more or
less peacefully.
F YOU want to understand
the extent and the impor
tance of the step that Israel has
taken, you'd better get out your
map and give it some careful
study.
Start ' with the Gaza Strip,
which is a long, thin corridor of
Egyptian territory thrusting up
between Israel and the Mediter
ranean sea. What it amounts to
is a dagger pointed at Israel's
heart as you can see for your
self by studying the map. From
this corridor Egypt can launch
constant harassing bandit raids
into Israeli territory. Raids of
this sort have been one of the
chief sources of trouble in the
past.
TAKE a look next at the Gulf
of Aqaba, which leads up
from the Red sea to the southern
tip of Israel. The Gulf of Aqaba
by-passes the Suez canal and
gives water access to Israel, thus
enabling her to carry on com
merce with the Asiatic world
(including oil) in the event that
the Suez canal (which is ALL in
Egyptian territory) should be
closed to Israel.
In their brief shooting war
last fall, the Israelis occupied
strategic points along the Egyp
tian side of the Aqaba gulf. Oc
cupation of these points would
enable them to KEEP THIS
WATERWAY OPEN to their
commerce.
co
J You can see for yourself
They are GIVING UP A LOT
when they agree to get out of
these areas that are so impor
tant to their security and to the
future of their country. In effect.
they are throwing themselves
on the mercy of the United
States, which is seeking to ar
range a settlement of the Mid
dle Eastern problem which is
largely a problem of bringing
about a situation in which tne
Israelis and the Arabs can live
in some semblance of peace.
THIS is the Big Question:
Can such a situation
brought about?
be
WELL, it CAN be. But I think
" everyone will agree that if
it IS brought about there will
have to be a POLICEMAN,
rPHAT raises another question:
Who will be the policeman?
It can t be Russia, no one
trusts Russia. Russia would take
advantage of her job as police
man to GRAB THE MIDDLE
EAST.
We don't want the job.
rpHAT leaves United Nations as
-- the only acceptable candi
date. United Nations is WEAK
to the point of impotence. A po
liceman without power isn'
much good.
So
It seems probable that in the
end wc will supply the strength
to enable United Nations to car
ry out the policing job that has
to be done. That, of course, is a
guess, but it looks like as good
llil
a guess as any.
Joseph Alsop
mixed answer. As to the brute
power of Soviet society, no one
in his senses can feel any doubt
at all. The mere statistics of the
Soviet Union's huge military
forces and massive industrial
production do not tell the full
story either.
The real story is one of growth
and even of a kind of creative
ness. The Soviet leaders began
with a backward nation largely
populated by an illiterate peas
antry. In under 30 years tor tne
first five year plan only began
in 1928 they have created out
of almost nothing a strong, tech-
i c a 1 1 y progressive managerial
class. They have matched their
new managers with a second
new class of millions of skilled
workers. And they have con
tinuously multiplied their coun
try's national product.
Too many Westerners have
tended to forget the reality of
the achievement in their horror
at the method of the achieve
ment. The method has been to
force the people to make the
greatest imaginable sacrifices, in
order to secure the vast funds
needed for investment in mili
tary defense and capital im
provement. One can even argue
that the rate of growth of na
tional power that the Soviet
leaders insisted upon, could
never have been attained at the
outset without enforcing the sac
rifices of the people in the most
literal sense, by blood purge and
by terror.
TUT although the methods
should never be foreotten.
the Soviet achievement should
not be overlooked either. And in
the present phase, this Soviet
achievement is visibly produc
ing certain changes in Soviet
society.
Thus the police presist every
where, but the blood purges and
the terror belong to the past.
Thus the level of life is still
very low by our standards, but
it is also quite certainly and
rather conspicuously improving.
In a way, you can compare the
present state of the Soviet in
dustrial revolution to the second
stage of our Western industrial
revolution, when for example
the worst horrors of Britain's
'Black Country" began to be
mitigated, and the worker's
share in the total product began
to be somewhat increased.
But in another and a very im
portant vay, this comparison
does not hold good at all. Even
when the mills of the Black
Country were in their darkest
and most Satanic period, at least
the workers in the mills were
let alone when the long working
day was done.
BUT in the Soviet Union, they
are nnt lpt nlnnp flnvprnpss.
management, governess - munic
ipality and governess-state all
combine and contrive together to
limit the ordinary man's free
dom of choice. Above all they
try to insure that anyone who
wants a teaspoonful of pleasure,
recreation or relaxation must
also swallow two .teaspoonsful
of propaganda and Communist
uplift intended to promote the
Soviet brand of virtue and to
drive out dangerous thoughts.
This effort is all prevasive. Its
depressing effects can be seen
everywhere, in the arts and in
Soviet intellectual life even more
dramatically than in the ex
istence of the average man. And
in the current phase, it is pro
ducing two significant results.
On the one hand, things that
would seem boringly ordinary
in the West take on an ex
traordinarily dramatic and re
volutionary coloration in the
Soviet Union. When I was in
Moscow, subway rush crowds
were flocking to an impeccably
conservative picture exhibition,
simply because the young artist,
Illya Glazunov, had at least re
jected the more extreme, valley-
of-dead-bones variety of "Soci
alist realism."
.
T Y THE same token I can still
vividly remember going to the
ice cream parlor-beer hall which
is the favorite rendezvous of
Moscow's gilded youth. Every
one was perfectly well behaved.
No one was talking politics. But
at least these young people, with
their almost defiant gaiety, were
having a normal Western style
good time with no uplift inter
mixed. Against the Soviet back
ground, that seemed downright
shocking.
On the other hand, as these
two examples suggest, the stu
dents, the intellectuals and the
average people of the Soviet
Union are more and more visibly
bored by all the uplift and gov-
ernessing. And this extremely
simple fact in and of itself raises
most important questions about
the next stages of Soviet develop
ment, a

Editorial
Comment
THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR
EVERYBODY
It has become apparent in the
opening days of the Senate in
vestigation of racketeering with
in organized labor that the rank
and file members of organized
labor are going to suffer greatly
for the misdeeds of some of their
leaders. All the sordid stuff that
is coming out in the senate com
mittee hearings will be grist for
the mills of the labor haters.
They will not differentiate be
tween the good and the bad
unions and union leaders. The
misdeeds of a few will be trans
lated to a blanket condemnation
of all organized labor. Will the
public return a blanket indict
ment? We hope not.
Certainly the most significant
member of a union whose lead
ers are guilty of racketeering
and worse cannnot escape some
responsibility for the existance
of those leaders. He has only one
vote, but he has a vote.
Beyond that point we must
move slowly and carefully. We
must recognize that some un
scrupulous labor leaders have be
come so powerful that they
would not hesitate to blot out a
member who threatened to ex
pose their wrongdoings. Know
ing that he would lose his job
and possibly invite violence upon
himself and his family, a union
member could not be expected to
stand up alone and demand an
accounting. It is easy for some
labor haters to say that they, in
the same situation, would fight
the battle alone. Deep in their
hearts, they know that they
would not.
What a committee of the Unit
ed States Senate is going to do
the members of organized labor
could not do. Nor could the hon
est, responsible leaders of organ
ized labor do it. Such men as
George Meany, head of the AFL-
CIO, have taken tough meas
ures against unclean union lead
ership and have threatened
unions with expulsion if they
don t clean their houses. But Mr
Meany recognizes that such ac
tion will not remove from power
the powerful racketeers that call
the shots for some unions.
We are convinced that this
Senate investigation will do,
what the honest men in labor
could not. The members of the
Senate committee have no fear
of recrimination and when they
have hung all the dirty linen on
the line for everybody to see the
racketeers will be as unaccept
able as lepers at the bargaining
tables.
This was a long time coming,
It was inevitable that it would
come. Organized labor has so
gained in stature that many of
its unions are demanding an
equal voice with owners in the
management of business and in
dustry. Unions have not earned
the right to that responsibility,
This Senate investigation is go
ing to' prove that. It will be an
ordeal for many honest men in
organized labor. But in the end
it will, we are convinced, prove
to be the best thing that could
have happened. It will force or
ganized labor to be responsible
through honest, fair and respon
sible leadership. That will be
good for labor, for industry and
business and for everybody else,

Money Spent in 1956
Than in Past 11 Years
By Congressional Quarterly
Washington (CQ) Lobbyists
reported spending less maney
in 1956 than at any time in the
past 11 years.
Congressional Quarterly s tab
ulation of official spending re-;
ports filed with Congress shows
that 263 groups reported ex
penditures of $3,787,734 to in
fluence legislation.
That was almost $500,000
less than the previous low of
S4.2 million, reported in 1954.
The highest total was reported
in 1950 about $10.3 million.
During 1956 a special Senate
committee had lobbying prac
tices under investigation, but
spokesmen for leading pressure
groups discount suggestions that
the probe reduced pressure ac
tivity. Committee Effect Seen
Chairman John L. McClellan
(D-Ark.) of the Lobby Investi
gating Committee saicrMts work
"may have had something to
do" with the decline in report
ed spending. McClellan said that
"lobbying in the ugly sense did
decline last year, but not lobby
ing in its proper, informational
sense."
The Committee is drafting
new legislation aimed at im
proving the checks on lobby
spending provided in the 1946
Federal Regulation of Lobbying
Act. Its report is due April
30.
The biggest spender in 1956
was the AFL-CIO, with $145,181.
The merged labor union was
followed by the Association of
American Railroads, which re
ported $124,585, and the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation,
which said it spent $115,507.

ISRAEL WITHDRAWS
WHAT NEXT?
Washington The withdrawal
of Israeli troops from the Egyp
tian shores of the Gulf of Aqaba
and the Gaza Strip does not wipe
the Middle East crisis from the
map.
It is an indispensable begin
ning, but it does not oi iiseii
guarantee Arab-Israeli peace; it
simply provides the opportunity
to build toward it.
Either Egypt must be ready to
match Israel's obedience to the
United Nations or the United
Nations must be ready to take
those steps to insure the peace
it has long timidly neglected.
The presence of Israeli forces
on Egyptian soil, however acute
the provocation, made it almost
impossible for the united Na
tions to act even - handediy.
There were just too many con
flicting pressures to permit it to
mediate between two wrongs,
with the Israeli invasion being
the most immediate and visible
wrong.
This is why the negotiations
had to be shifted from the Unit
ed Nations to Washington, and
it deserves to be put strongly
into the record that Secretary of
State -Dulles contributed the ere
ative proposal which persuaded
Prime Minister Ben-Gurion to
comply with the U.N. resolution
without advance U.N. guaran
ties.
T BECAME increasingly clear
during the last two weeks:
That the mechanism of the
United Nations was making no
headway toward breaking the
deadlock with Israel.
That the U.N. had gotten itself
into the position wherein all it
could talk about was sanctions,
while all Israel could see was
the defense of its rights by force,
That a fresh approach was ab
solutely necessary and ought to
be tried in an atmosphere which
recognized that all the wrong
was not on one side.
This was the point at which
Mr. Dulles took over direct ne
gotiations, mostly with Abba
Eban, the extremely able Israeli
ambassador to the United States
Mr. Dulles knew that he couldn'
offer any conclusive guarantee
that the United States would
convoy Israeli shipping through
the Gulf of Aqaba to the Israeli
port of Elath. But he did assure
Israel that the -United States
would put an American ship
through the Egyptian-bordered
international waters which he
believed would estblish the
right of free passage for all na
tions. This was imaginative diplo
macy. While President Eisen
hower gave unwavering support
to his Secretary of State, the
principal credit rightly belongs
to Mr. Dulles. The tendency of
the Israelis at first was to mini
mize the importance of the
Dulles assurance, to turn it
aside: But the more Ambassador
Eban saw its implications, the
better he liked it. He, more than
anyone else, persuaded Ben-Gurion
that Mr. Dulles was making
a solid, significant and far-reaching
offer. The implications were
these: '

Aqaba, Egypt could not prevent
Israeli shipping from doing the
same unless it resorted to new
belligerency.
If Mr. Dulles could say, as ho
did at a press conference, that
President Eisenhower would
have the right to use force to
defend an American ship using
these waters for innocent pas
sage, Prime Minister Ben-Gurion
would have the right to use
force to defend an Israeli ship
if there was renewed interfer
ence. e
THE significant fact is that Is
rael, by withdrawing its
troops in response to the U.N.,
is putting itself morally, politi
cally and internationally m the
right.
If there are new border raids
against Israel, if there is new
Egyptian interference with Is
raeli shipping, then Egypt will,
it seems to me, be putting itself
morally, politically and interna
tionally in the wrong.
The need is to look ahead, not
back. The Arab nations may
have come nearer to recognizing
that Israel is not going to be 1
pushed into the sea. The climate
at the U.N. is improved and
there seems a firm determina
tion to prevent any return to the
lacerating conditions which pre
ceded the invasion.
The Israeli agreement is not
going to usher in paradise in
this area of tense and bitter con
flicts. But it recaptures the initi
ative on the side of peace. It
begins a momentum which, if
pressed, can lead to further
gains. One immediate by-product
will likely be the easier and
quicker approval of the Eisen
hower Doctrine in the Senate
now that the irrelevant issue of
sanctions against Israel is re
moved. (Copyright 1957. New York
