MAIL TRIBUNE
Is Nixon a
The Salem Capital Journal is already preparing
to celebrate the election of Vice President Nixon in
1960 as President of the United States.
In fact it looks apparently more or less like a vic
tory by acclamation, to our respected contemporary.
For according to the "Journal" even the Demo
crats, or "a large part of them," have changed their
tune regarding Nixon and now practically admit he
is so far out in front no one can catch him.
CENATOR John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, for
example, who came so close to getting the Demo
cratic nomination for Vice President is quoted as
follows:
"It will take more than abusive statements to beat Mr.
Nixon. Those he can read while riding in the 1961 in
augural parade."
And why not, asks the Capital Journal, when,
quote :
"No one could ever put the finger on any specific thing
that justified this (critical) attitude toward Richard Nixon
except that as a congressman he had irked the Democrats
in uncovering the treason of Alger Hiss."
MO? NOTHING "specific?"
11 Was not the acceptance of an $18,000 "gift"
from a group of California "Big Business" men
SPECIFIC?
Mr. Nixon never denied it.
In a special "TV" broadcast, arranged by the
same group of "businessmen," and carefully re
hearsed, he merely explained what a "Poor Richard"
he was, how hard it was to meet the installments on
his house, how devoted he was to his spaniel "Check
ers," and his family, and how the money received
had nothing to do with how he voted, but only how
much money HE could save the California taxpayers!
As one prominent California- executive expressed
it at the time, quote :
"Of course it was a phoney, but It worked, didn't it?"
It did work.
So did the charges made by subtle insinuation
and anonymous phone calls, against Congressman
Jerry Voorhies claiming Jeny was a communist, the
same smear technique adopted by Nixon when he
ran against Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas for the
U.S. Senate.
Another "phoney" but
It DID.
A ND when through the "Mystery Man," Henry (the
Dutchman) Gruenwald, Senator Brewster of
Maine gave Nixon a check for $5,000 which was duly
cashed, that "specific" incident resulted in the defeat
of Senator Brewster, but never touched the slick and
shrewd Senator from Calif omia.
For, as the senator explained, this was a perfectly
legitimate and proper campaign contribution. What
was wrong about that?
Nothing, probably, but
innocent, why was the notorious Gruenwald called
in as a go-between?
This is another fact that has never been explained.
But it, too, is a matter of record, and it also
worked."
a a a
WE DON'T mean to imply that "Poor Richard" is
he is too smart for that nor do we deny he is per
sonable, plausible and popular at least as far as the
upper echelons of the G.O.P. is concerned.
But we do mean that ever since he entered public
life until today, his record has not been one to in
spire confidence, respect or trust, and has been one
to utterly destroy the claim of his cronies that he is
a young man of demonstrated presidential STATURE.
He definitely is NOT.
We would not go so far as to call him a "white
collared McCarthy," but we would say he has the
same "killer instinct," the same fondness for the "Big
Lie" insinuation, and the same Houdini adroitness
in squirming out of a hot box when the facts have
caught up with him. This was so clearly demonstrated
when a smart newspaper reporter uncovered that
$18,000 subsidy from that California tycoon group
not for any campaign expenses but for personal and
senatorial "INCIDENTALS!"
It is hard to think of any other member of the
senate who could have so cleverly and completely
"gotten away with murder" without leaving a trace,
but it is a matter of TV histoiy now that "RICH Rich
ard" DID it.
(And if he had not won the election, we predict
he would have received an offer from Hollywood he
would have found it difficult to resist.)
DUT what gets this department down as far as the
Vice President is concerned is the perennial
"alibi" that anything said against him comes proper
ly under the heading of "ABUSE." It appears that
even as smart a young man as Senator Kennedy has
fallen for it
Come, come!
Citing the facts in a public official's record is not
ABUSE.
There is nothing new in the statements made
above, they have been reported before in this de
partment and in many other newspapers and maga
zines. Certainly if they were unfounded or untrue, de
nials would have poured in thick and fast, with per
haps a libel suit thrown in for seasoning. ;
But there has not been a word of denial, not a
syllable of refutation factually, nothing but that
"old line" trying to arouse support and sympathy for
the "V.P." by claiming, everything said against him
is abuse.
As a matter of fact the exact reverse is time.
Considering his record as a campaigner for public

Polish Leader Appears
Deep in Trouble From
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Polish Communist leader
Wladyslaw Gomulka appears to
be in serious trouble.
His independent Communist
regime is under attack by Polish
Reds who op
pose his break
away from So
v i e t Russian
domination, by
Polish non
Communists and by Moscow
propaganda or
gans. At the same
rhxries Mccano time, xne nego
tiations in Washington for eco
nomic and financial aid which
would strengthen him in his
fight for national independence
are bogging down.
It is too early to say that Go
mulka's control of the Polish
Communist party and govern
ment is in actual danger. But it
could be before long if the pres
ent situation continues. .
Matter of Fact
THE RACER
Paris The final impression
left by a long sojourn in the
great struggle that divides the
world are now
e n g a ged in a
peculiar sort
of race. It is a
life and death
race but nei
ther side fully
understands its
nature.
T o describe
it bluntly and
Joseph Aisop and even brut
ally, this is a race between the
weakness of the West on the one
hand and the evolution of Sov
iet society on the other hand. The
creatures in the race are con
siderably more oddly assorted
than the hare and the tortoise.
And just to make this race even
stranger still, each' side is back
ing the other's animal to win.
While I was in the Soviet
Union, I often felt grave doubts
about the wisdom of the West
ern hopes that Soviet society will
somehow and sometime change
in a way that will make the divi
sion of the world more bearable
and less dangerous. Indeed, I
feel doubts about Western hopes
now, when I see a presumably
respectable American professor
and alleged Russian expert pro
claiming the weakness of the
Soviet Union's massive industry
because of short visits to two
characteristically antiquated tex
tile factories. (Of course it is
heavy industry that has grown
so massively in the Soviet Union,
not consumer industry.)
a
TN TRUTH it is positively
frightening to hear from
Washington that the professor's
claptrap has been taken serious
ly and is regarded as a great
cause for optimism in the Pres
ident's own circle. Nothing on
earth could be more dangerous
for the West than to under
estimate Soviet military might
and industrial strength. Every
thing I saw convinced me that
Soviet military-industrial power
is still growing and will con
tinue to grow, although perhaps
at a reduced rate.
All the same it is also true
that the evolution of Soviet soc
iety offers the West quite gen
uine grounds for Ion g-range
hope. This is because of the cur
ious interaction of the major
Soviet success and a serious Sov
iet failure.
The Soviet failure, which has
only been really proven in the
last year, is the failure to pro
duce the famous "new Soviet
man" so long envisaged by the
Kremlin's masters. The moral
laws have not been repealed in
the Soviet Union, even although
they were temporarily suspend
ed by sheer terror. Men and wo
men have not lost their desire to
be free, their wish to live their
own lives or their hankering to
exercise their own individual
judgements. People still want to
be people, instead of a higher
form of ant.
m m m
AS FOR the Soviet sucess, it
is the final attainment of
the goal set long ago the crea
tion of a high industrial society,
office and an incumbent, he has made a sensational
success, met with little criticism and opposition, been
for several years now the "White Haired Boy" of the
Eisenhower administration, and what slings and ar
rows have been fired in his direction he has eluded
with uncanny skill and aplomb.
FINALLY as for opposition to him as President be-
ing based upon his anti-Hiss record, that is simply
nonsense.
This paper praised him for his refusal to believe
in Hiss' innocence when so many of his fellow con
gressmen did, and the press in general regardless
of partisanship, as far as our observation goes, did
the same.
But this is not, and never has been, a question
of communism or anti-communism but a question of
character, a question of whether or not, the people
of the country want Richard Nixon or a person of
his type and with his record to succeed a President
of General Eisenhower's earnest, sincere type in the
White House.
We don't believe they do, or when the question
comes to a head, if it does, they WILL. R.W.R.
It is increasingly evident that
Gomulka is having difficulty in
both maintaining his present in
dependence and in avoiding an
open break with the Russians.
One big reason is that Soviet
leaders are fully aware now of
the danger that any move toward
independent Communism pre
sents to their domination of
Eastern Europe.
Another reason is that strong
elements in Poland, both Com
munist and non - Communist,
want Gomulka to take an even
more independent attitude.
One result of the situation is
that Gomulka and Premier Jozef
Cyrankiewicz have been com
pelled to restore to government
jobs most of the Stalinist leaders
who fought Gomulka's return to
power last October during the
surge of revolt in satellite coun
tries. But Gomulka and Cyrankie
wicz are being attacked also by
those Poles who want him to go
farther toward independence.
Premier Denounced

technically complex and ad
vanced, with a gross product sec
ond only to that of the United
States. The Spviet rulers them
selves have now discovered that
running such a society and in
suring its continued development
and progress are quite different
things from constructing such
a society by exhortation and by
force.
As has been previously sug
gested in this space, successfully
developing this kind of society
demands a greater measure of
freedom than the people of the
Soviet Union have enjoyed for
a very long time. But as soon
as a little more freedom is grant
ed, as it has now been granted,
then the failure to produce the
"new Soviet m a n" begins to
make all sorts of trouble. People
say things, people even do things
that are not at all approved.
So there follows the kind, of
puUback toward unfreedom that
is now taking place in Soviet
Union to understand Plato s view
that all poets are sinister sub
versives. In fact in the kind of
society that Plato was writing
about, and ten times more in
Soviet society, free poets are
highly subversive. That explains
the current Soviet pullback.
m
YET'the pullback cannot go too
far. It cannot in particular
safely go as far as Stalinism
Thus the process of evolution of
Soviet society will eventually
begin again. Of course Soviet
society will hardly evolve to
ward anything recognizable as
democracy, but it should at least
evolve toward a kind of modified
communism in which there wiU
be air enough for men to breathe-
That kind of aerated Com
munist society and the Western
democratic societies might well
jog along together in a reasonab
ly comfortable way, especially if
Soviet national income continues
upwards. But the hitch lies in the
time factor. At best it will take
a very long time for the evolu
tion of Soviet society on which
the West has placed its hopeful
bets.
But what about the time factor
of those Western weaknesses on
which the Soviet leaders are
betting so confidently? Is there
any way to prevent the Western
partners on this side of the At
lantic from being mortally dam
aged by their dependence on the
troubled ex-coloniel regions, of
the Middle and Far East? If
there is no way to cure this mor
tal weakness, how long will it
take before the weakness takes
effect?
.see
AND again, what about the
deep fissure that already
exists in the Western alliance it
self? Can it be bridged? And if
lot, how long before it con
tributes to the final upset of the
world power balance?
By this upset rather than by
war the Soviets expect to win the
race. Thus the answers to the
above questions will decide the
outcome. And only bold, realist
ic and imaginative Western lead
ership will find satisfactory an-

To Be
All Sides
Cyrankiewicz was openly de
nounced in the Polish Parliament
on Feb. 27 by Antoni Wojtysiak,
a non-Communist who is also di
rector of the agricultural college
at Breslau-or Wroclaw, as the
Poles call it in Polish-occupied
Eastern Germany.
Wojtysiak said that Cyrankie
wicz was responsible for all the
abuse of power by the Commu
nists during Josef Stalin's dicta
torship. Somes members angrily tried
to'shout Wojtysiak down. Others
applauded him. It was necessary
to suspend the session for 10
minutes.
On March 1, eight leading edi
tors and writers of Trybunu
Ludu, the newspaper organ of
the Polish Communist Party, re
signed in protest against the pol
icy of the ruling Politburo. These
eight men resented what they re
garded as a trend toward a new
Stalinist policy.
U. S. Invited Talks
The Washington negotiations
were initiated by the United
State which thought it wise to
strengthen Gomulka by reliev
ing Poland's economic difficul
ties. But the negotiations have run
into a snag. For one thine, the
so-called Battle Act passed by
Congress rigidly restricts the
giving of aid to Communist coun
tries. To get around this. Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles has
ruled that Poland is not under
Russian domination. That ruling
permits some aid. But it also has
been found that the government
has disposed of most of the farm
surpluses which were available
to foreign countries.
Gomulka almost certainly will
get some help from the United
States. It will be nowhere near
the S300 million he seeks in eco
nomic and financial aid, how
ever.
In the Day's News
By FRANK
A little later than usual Sat
urday morning, President Eisen
hower left his private . living
quarters in the White House and
headed for his pleasant oval of
five in the executive mansion.
He was a trifle late to work for
a reason that is quite common at
this time of the year in our coun
try. He is suffering from the
after effects of a cold.
Arriving at his office, he sat
down at his desk and cleared off
the top. An aide put a document
in front of him. Ike knew all
about the document, but as all
of us do in similar circumstances
he glanced " through it to make
sure that all was in order. Then
he turned to his news secretary,
James Hagerty, and asked (as all
of us are apt to do) "This is the
ninth, isn't it?" Hagerty con
firmed the date.
Whereupon Mr. Eisenhower
reached for. his pen and on the
line reserved for his signature
he wrote: "Approved,' Dwight D.
Eisenhower. March 9, 1957,
Washington, D. C."
THUS he became the third
American President to have a
,doctrine named after him. The
other members of this distin
guished company are President
James Monroe and .President
Harry E. Truman.
LET'S look first at the Monroe
Doctrine.
It was set forth by President
Monroe in a message to the con
gress on Dec. 2, 1823. It guar
anteed all the independent na
tions of the Western Hemisphere
against European interference
"for the purpose of oppressing
them, or controlling in any man
ner their destiny."
It added that the American
continents "are henceforth not
to be considered as subjects for
future colonization by European
powers." This meant that the
United States would not allow
colonies to be created anywhere
in the Americas nor would it
permit existing colonies to ex
tend their boundaries.
YlHAT
was the occasion for
" th
this bold announcement?
Well, the three leading abso
lute monarchies of Europe Rus
sia, Austria and Prussia had
pledged themselves to "PUT AN
END TO THE SYSTEM OF
REPRESENTATIVE GOVERN
MENT, in whatever country it
may exist in Europe.
The United States feared that
these three powers (calling them
selves the "Holy Alliance")
might also try to suppress repre
sentative government in the
New World.

We took the step.
rriHE idea was first proposed by
the British. George Canning,
British foreign minister, suggest
ed to the American minister in
London that Britain and the
United States issue a JOINT

inclined to accept the British

From Washington
By Roscoe Drummond
THE ROLE OF LYNDON
JOHNSON
Washington In the wake of
the Administration's bumpy and
often acrimonious 58-day strug
gle to get the Middle East resolu
tion through Congress, several
consequences .are emerging.
There is, first of all, an in
creased appreciation in the
White House for the effective
ness and intellectual competence
of Senate Democratic leader
Lyndon Johnson.
The fact is that Senator John
son demonstrated a responsive
ness and an independence which
can create a new relationship be
tween Congress and the Presi
dent in foreign policy.
This new relationship has two
aspects. One of them is personal.
There is now a far higher degree
of mutual respect and a better
mood of cooperation between
Mr. Eisenhower and Mr. John
son than has prevailed up to
this time. This comes from the
able job the Texas' Senator did
in re-casting, in a way which
pleased Congress, and in shep
herding, in a way which pleased
the President, the "Eisenhower
Doctrine" through the shoals of
a touchy Senate.
TJUT the role which Senator
MJ Johnson played which was
infinitely helpful to the Presi
dent, was played primarily in
behalf of Congress so that in the
end the Senate was in part the
architect of the Middle East
resolution, not merely its rubber
stamp. Thus what began as
State Department leak emerged
resnaped and improved, as a
Presidential - Congressional reso
lution in which Congress was a
creative participant.
This makes for a healthier re
lationship between the Presi
dent and Congress. If it con
tinues, it will be a boon to both

said, because we might as well

xiis counsel prevailed, ana
that is the way it was done. The
British went along with us, and
with their fleet helped us to en
force the Monroe Doctrine in
the years when we were too
young and weak to enforce it all
by ourselves. . , ,
QO MUCH for the first member
of the "Doctrine" club. We
come now to. the second.
President Harry S. Truman
put the Truman Doctrine into
effect in 1948. The Truman Doc
trine promised U. S. aid to any
democratic nation whose gov
ernment was threatened by "out
side sources." Its purpose was to
keep Communist Russia out of
Greece and Turkey. It included
the implied threat of military
force along with economic aid
to our allies among the Western
nations. That part of it was
known as the Marshall Plan.
rpHE third member of the "Doc
trine club" is Dwight D. Ei
senhower, whose doctrine in
cludes the threat of U. S. mili
tary force to keep Russia out of
the Middle East, along with the
promise of economic aid to those
who HELP 'US keep Russian
communism out of the Middle
East.

STRUCTURE ON
ADVERTISING PROPOSED
Another bill has been intro
duced at Salem proposing to pro
hibit advertising. This one ap
plies only to chiropodists (foot
doctors). SB 309 would make it
unlawful for any licensed chi
ropodist to "advertise in news
papers, periodicals, or in bold
face type or in any printed mat
ter or by the use of any form of
display sign, et cetera, includ
ing movies, radio, television.
This kind of regulation has no
proper place in state law or in
any rules promulgated by a
state-created board. Apparently
it stems from a notion that ad
vertising is undignified. This is
arrant nonsense. Advertising can
be just as dignified or austere
Much of the credit for this
development obviously not
all goes to Senator Johnson.
My information is that President
Eisenhower personally tele
phoned, within a few minutes
after the Senate had voted for
the resolution 72 to 19, to ex
press his appreciation to Mr.
Johnsoi. for his decisive part in
the result as did Secretary
Dulles. .
a
A SECOND consequence of the
pvfnt: whirr! siirrnnnrfprl th
long hassle over the resolution
is the expansion of iha bound
aries of genuine consultation be
tween Mr. Eisenhower and Mr.
Dulles, on the one hand, and the
legislative leaders of both par
ties, on the other.
Those who are close to the
facts are convinced that the
President and Secretary Dulles
are putting behind them the
habit of windy "briefings of the
Congressional leaders and are
now persuaded that there can,
there should be complete give-
and-take if productive bi-parti-
sanship is to prevail.
Nothing could be more useful
because the alternative to bi
partisanship in foreign policy
matters where responsibility is
shared by both the President
and Congress is not partisanship.
The alternative is a dangerous
stalemate with such a narrowly
divided House and Senate. Neith
er side can afford to want stale
mate and the country least of
all.
a a
rpHERE is no doubt that the
-- first presentation of the Eis
enhower Doctrine of a military
snieid ana economic aid to the
Middle East nations against
Communist maneuvers got off
on the wrong foot because it
officially was leaked to the press
in advance of the already sum
moned meeting between the
White House and the legislative
leaders. They also felt that much
of Secretary Dulles' testimony
was unresponsive and given on
a take-it-or-leave-it basis which
annoyed many Republicans and
understandably infuriated the
Democrats.
Congress isn't going to be pa
tronized and shouldn't be.
And, now Senator Johnson
has shown that the leadership
will work responsibly with the
President when the White House
treats Congress as a full-bodied
participant in the creation of
those parts of foreign policy
which must be mutually arrived
at.
The premise of Senator John
son's attitude is a combination of
responsiveness and independ
ence. This is something solid-on
which the President can build
because I am convinced that Mr.
Johnson's responsiveness can be
faithfully counted upon.
This doesn't mean that the
President will not have his
troubles with Congress. It will
take all his skill and prestige to
get through his foreign aid pro
gram. There will be major Re
publican and Democratic defec
tions. But it does suggest that his
difficulties will be more man
ageable. Copyright New York

as the advertiser wants to make
it. By the same token it can be
raucous and in bad taste if the
newspaper or other medium will
accept it that way.
The state has no business regu
lating or dictating the advertis
ing of any citizens, whether or
not they are business or profes
sional people. If advertising is
untruthful or defamatory, exist
ing laws and codes of ethics are
sufficient to stop it short of first
base. If it is merely in bad taste,
customers (patients or clients)

Advertising is a public facility
