Morbid
A thoughtful editorial
ister-Guard has a lot of questions about why people
are attracted to tragedy and disaster.
His questions were motivated by the fact that
some 4,000 citizens of Lane county crowded around,
getting in the way of workers, when attempts were
being made to raise a car which had gone into the
McKenzie river. He asked:
"When the car was brought to the surface, why did they
rush forward to see what was inside? What pleasure did
they hope to get from seeing that a woman, dead, was inside
the automobile? Did the sfght give them the 'kicks' they had
come to get? . . . Why did they ignore the pleas of author
ities who asked them not to get in the way? As they look
back on the events of the week end, what satisfaction do
they get?"
TTHIS is a series of questions which has bothered
us, too, from time to time.
We have concluded that two aspects of human
nature provide the answers, namely, curiosity and
a natural reaction to excitement.
One may deplore the morbid aspects of these
tendencies as much as he wants. But curiosity is the
same factor that causes man to probe into the un
known; to keep asking the basic questions which,
ultimately, lead to progress; it is the thing which
causes editorial writers to ask questions, and news
paper readers to read newspaper accounts, including
pictures, of cars going into rivers.
Curiosity is universal. And it is still curiosity, no
matter what its direction.
AS FOR a craving for excitement, that too is uni
versal. It is what sells murder mysteries, and
adventure movies, and TV detective shows. There
is excitment in all human drama, whether it is up
lifting or tragic.
Men are both curious and excited about human
drama death, adventure and all the other fixes
we humans get involved in.
This is not to say that it isn't depressing to see
crowds flocking around fires and accidents to the
extent that the work of policemen and firemen is
hindered. It is even dangerous and damaging, some
times. But it is to say that it is both normal and natural.
For perennial curiosity and sympathetic excite
ment are two things which set men apart from beasts.
And although sometimes the results are morbid and
distasteful, at other times they can be equally up
lifting. E.A.
Birthday Party?
How should Oregon go about celebrating her
100th birthday?
On St. Valentine's day in 1959 less than two
years from now the state will be a century old. In
the past year or so considerable study has been given
to what sort of event should be held to mark the
anniversary.
Should there be a world's fair? Or a regional
exposition, similar to the Lewis and Clark commem
oration in 1905? Or should the birthday be allowed
to pass with dignified inattention?
The Oregon Centennial Commission recommends
the second of these.
IN A RECENT report, the commission envisioned an
"exposition and international trade fair," to start
in June and run into the fall. It would be located in
Portland, where more visitors can be accommodated
than elsewhere and where travel routes converge.
A world's fair was rejected as being too big a
project to complete in the time available. But it was
felt that the industry of the Pacific basin, the agri
culture, forest products, and the governmental agen
cies could provide exhibits which would attract
hundreds of thousands of people, if coupled with
sufficient hoopla, carnival atmosphere and stage and
water shows.
THE commission believes that for an investment
of about $2,350,000, income totaling at least
$5,400,000 could be earned on the exposition itself,
to say nothing of the international publicity, oppor
tunity for regional and

other local events m the

than $212 million profit would revert to the state
treasury.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In this space today, I'd like to
introduce you to an engaging
young 4-H clubber from the state
of Washington. His name is Ron
Davis, and he's a Washington
farm boy. He is presently visit
ing farm families in Panama as
a part of the international farm
youth exchange program spon
sored in this country by the na
tional 4-H Club foundation.
Ron is interested in every
thing he sees, and has been writ
ing his observations back to the
extension service of Washington
State college at Pullman, which
has. been publishing them in
Washington newspapers.
T SEEMS that even down in
Panama they have their farm
problems.
One of their problems is the
climate. Down that way, they
have two seasons the wet sea
son and the dry season. The
problems arise out of the fact
that the wet season is too wet
and the dry season is too dry.
In the wet season, Ron says,
it rains every afternoon, begin
ning about 3 o'clock and lasting
until about 8. During these
hours, from two to four inches
of rain falls. During the dry sea
son, there is no rain at all.
TUT, he goes on, the Panama-
nians shrug their shoulders
and adapt themselves to condi
tions. In the wet season, they
grow corn and beans and rice,
which can take the moisture. In
the dry season, they grow pota
toes. The point he makes is that
they are HAPPY. In the corn
and bean season, they eat corn
ana Deans, in me potato season,
they eat potatoes. Nobody kicks.
Nobody hollers to the govern
ment to provide corn and beans
in the potato season or potatoes
in the corn and bean season.
They just live life as it comes.
fPHESE Panamanians are pret-
-- ty much on the backward
side, Ron says.
When they go out to milk the
cows, for example, they set the
bucket on the ground and kneel
down in front of it and milk
away. That bothered Ron. It
seemed to him it would be much
better for everybody concerned
if they would use milk stools, as
we do up in this progressive and
forward-looking nation. So he
turned in and built them ome
milk stools which, as every
red-blooded American who ever
grew up on a farm B.MJV1. (be
fore milking machines) are use
ful institutions.
Not only does a milk stool en
able one to 'hold the bucket be
tween his knees, where the cow
can't step into it so easily, but it
is a useful weapon with which
to wham the old hellion when
she dips her tail in the milk
bucket and slaps you with the
wet end of it.
1IERE the Panamanians grate-
" ful?
They SAID so volubly and
courteously, in their gentle and
kindly Panamanian manner.
But
When Ron went out to take a
peek the next morning he found
them ALL DOWN ON THEIR
KNEES AGAIN, milking the
cows in the manner to which
they were accustomed.
T THIS point, Ron displayed
statesmanlike characteristics.
Instead of sailing in and up
braiding the Panamanians for
their hopeless backwardness, he
just grinned and let it go at that.
If we're going to run the
world, I think maybe we'd bet
ter get Ron appointed secretary
of state when he grows up. In
stead of making over all the for
eign countries into Little Ameri
cas, he'd just grin.
In that way, he'd make bil
lions of friends for us all over
the world and everybody would
soon be FOR America instead of
AGAINST America.

The Eisenhower - Macmillan
talks resulted in two important
agreements. The United States is
willing to join the military com
mittee of the Baghdad Pact
against Soviet Russian agression
in the Middle East. The United
States will make available to
Britain "certain guided missiles"
in the interest of "mutual de
fense and mutual economy."
The chief purpose of the con
ference, however, was to restore
close British-American coopera
tion in foreign affairs after the
strain on relations caused by the
British and French invasion of
Egypt.
Macmillan, arriving home said
the conference "more than met
all that we expected of it."

Stock Market Profits
By ROGER W. BABSON

themselves.
The selfish, shortsighted per
son seldom makes much money
in the stock market, and keeps
it only by sheer 'luck. Most of
the' real fortunes of today came
from the fundamental desire to
render service and give "for
value received" help to: (1) A
panicky market or (2) a new and
useful industry. The first can be
accomplished by anyone with pa
tience and hope; the second
sometimes fails because of poor
judgment or because one is too
early or too late.
Both of the above two meth
ods of making money require
courage, hope, and patience. It
takes courage to sell stocks and
store up" cash during a bull
market when most people are
very optimistic; and it takes
courage to buy stocks again, one
or two years later, when most
people are bearish. Further
more, the waiting period be
tween these right times to sell
and buy requires patience and
hope. However, the person who
follows either of the above
methods renders an important
service; namely, his selling helps
make the boom, less dangerous,
and his buying helps check the
panic. For this service an in
vestor always receives a hand
some reward.
Selling High, Buying Low
It is important that an invest
or decide in advance which of
the above methods he is to fol
low. It is difficult to mix the
two methods. If you are to fol
low the first, of "selling high
and buying low," it is usually
best to confine your holdings to
the active popular stocks, per
haps those known as the "blue
chips"; while the second method
often requires buying stocks of
new and smaller companies with
inactive markets. All purchases
should be confined to listed
stocks. In either case, never buy
on margin or borrowed money.
For results with this first meth
od, under the very best condi
tions which no one could ex?
pect to duplicate $100 could
increase to $90,000 in 40 years,
not considering either taxes or
dividends. To show the great
spread in price of some of the
best single stocks, the following
figures are most interesting:

East. As a mat

But the very fact that the Presi
dent and the Prime Minister
chose to meet at all in such a
conspicuous way was bound to
cause speculation, and in Egypt
at least to arouse the suspicion
that the two great powers, sepa
rated since last November, were
now going to act together.
If, as we know irom Mr.
Dulles, there were no firm agree
ments, were there real disagree
ments? There were not, so it
would seem, though there are
undoubtedly wide differences of
opinion as to what Nasser in
tends to do and how he should
be dealt with. Almost certainly
what happened in Bermuda was
that the British accepted Ameri
can leadership in the making
and in the conduct of - policy in
the Middle East. There was no
agreement as to what the policy
would be, though no doubt vari
ous possibilities must have been
canvassed. But there was an
assent by the British, never
formalized in any agreement,
that the President, and more
specifically that Mr. Dulles,
should manage the Middle East
ern business. It was in that role
that Mr. Dulles spoke with such
personal authority at his press
conference on Tuesday. q
AS THE President and Mr
Dulles appeared to see it.

'Fantastic1 Political
Contest Scheduled
In Texas on Tuesday
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Texas,
which is supposed to do every
thing in a big way, is staging a
fantastic political contest next
Tuesday. From a field of 22 can
didates, the votes of a few hun
dred thousand people will elect
one who will determine which
party controls the United States
Senate. .
At a special election, a senator
will be chosen to serve until
after the 1958 congressional
elections.
There were no party primaries
or conventions to nominate can
didates'. There will be no runoff
in case' the front-runner fails to
poll a majority of the vote.
The word here Is that a light
vote is expected and that the
winner is not expected to poll a
majority.
GOP In Underdog Role
The Republicans have cast
themselves in the role of under
dog in normally Democratic
Texas. But because of the na
ture of the race they figure their
organization - backed candidate,
Thad Hutcheson of Houston, has
a chance to win. There is only
one other GOP candidate and
he has no organization support.
The remaining 20 names on
the ballots are Democratic candi
dates including "liberal," "con
servative" and pro-Eisenhower
varieties. Texas Democrats in
Washington have consistently
maintained a show of confidence
the winner will be a Democrat.
But there is much uncertainty
about the outcome and much
speculation about how the votes
of the also-rans will subtract
from the votes of the leaders.
Only a few of the Democratic
contenders are expected to poll
a significant vote. The contest is
viewed chiefly as a three-way
race between Hutcheson and two

real policy in the Middle East
is to speak boldly and loudly
about what is unlikely to hap
pen namely an overt Soviet
military aggression and on the
real issues to zig and to zag, and
somehow to muddle through
without any more shooting.
When Mr. Dulles spoke of
feeling a "cautious optimism,"
he means presumably that there
is a fair chance that for a while
at least there will be tacit ar
rangements to keep the hot is
sues below the boiling point.
We might guess that Nasser will
have his way about the canal
but that, except as to Israel, he
will not actually molest or dis
criminate against other ships.
We might guess that he will not
build up serious military forces
in the inai Peninsula which
could threaten Israel, and that
the raiding from the Gaza Strip
will not be organized on a big
scale. And there would seem to
be a fair chance that neither
Nasser nor King Saud will in
fact interfere with the passage
through the Uulf of Aqaba.
This is, conceivably, how a
new crisis may be stalled off
by saving Nasser's face and by
adding to his prestige without
provoking Israel enough for her
to use force.
T CAN be argued that this is
the best that can be made of
a bad job. It can be said that the
revolutionary movement among
the Afro-Asian people which
Nasser leads cannot be stopped
by force or bought. off by eco
nomic concessions; it can be said
that the local conflict in Pales
tine is insoluble in this genera
tion. But it can be argued also that
the best way to deal with the
situation is not to muddle
through, not to carry water on
both shoulders, not to finagle
and to finesse, with the object
of provoking no one and of
placating everyone, For if, as
is now contemplated, we in fact
appease Nasser both on the canal
and on his claim to belligerent
right against Israel, we shall find
ourselves much weaker when
we come to the next phase of
Nasser's revolution against the
Western world.
