Smith Longs for Recorder as
Porter, Dominican Envoy Meet
L in 1 J
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Before the New
Year even dawns, I'm ready with
firm resolution to wear one
of those vest
pocket - type
wire recorders
at all cocktail
parties attend
ed by politic
i a n s, foreign
and domestic.
The other
night I was
caught short
a. Robt smiui wnen i neeaea
one most to record for future
listening pleasure a verbal spar
ring match between the ambas
sador from the Dominican Re
public and Rep. Charles O. Por
ter, who bumped into one an
other for the first time after long
months of name calling brought
on by the case of Gerry Murphy,
missing Eugene flier.
Ambassador de Moya started it
in San Francisco last spring in a
speech charging that critics of
his dictator-run government were
only dupes of the Communists,
O'ince Generalissimo Trujillo is
so staunchly anti-communist that
his criticjf) must, ipso facto, be
Redsi
This charge blanketed in Con
pressman Porter, who started the
furore against Trujillo after
Murphy disappeared in the Do
minican Republic ayear ago; the
State Department, which by then
had rejected Trujillo's phoney
explanation of how Murphy was
killed in a fight with a fellow
pilot; and Life magazine, which
reported that Murphy flew the
missing professor. Dr. Jesus de
Galindez, to the Dominican Re
public, where both disappeared.
Ingratiating Cabellero
De Moya is a tall, dark, dap
per, fluent, ingratiating cabellero
with an aggressive brand of dip
limatic gladhandedness.
"Why don't you come to the
Dominican Republic and see for
yourself that we are not what
yourihink? he would say to
Charlie Porter.
"Why have the Washington
police advised me to carry a
gun?" Porter barked back at the
diplomat. w
"Oh, Mr. Porter," replied de
Moya. And here words purpose
ly failed him, giving way to a
series of Latin expressions with
face, shoulders, arms and body
which coQ vyed a hurt deep
down inside at such a terrible
thought.
"Why, Mr. Porter, when I read
about that in the newspapers I
said, "My God, nothing must hap
pen to him now." There followed
more contortions which seemed
to mean. "If something did hap
pen to Porter everyone would
point the finger at little inno
cent us."
"Why did you duck out on
Meet the Press when they wanted
to question you about the Mur
phy case?" demanded Porter,
who was on that TV program
hiaiself.
But Mr. Porter, how could I,
just a poor farmer, be a match
for such a brilliant lawyer as
yourself, a Harvard man, well,
J mean . . . (more contortions
f helplessness)."
When I asked de Moya how
(Vng since he followed a plow,
he hid his neatly manicured
hands and made haste to explain
he, if you please, was speaking
in tdrms of running g hacienda,
not plowing with the peasants,
"tjphy did you make that
charge about Communism,"
asked Porter.
Have To Strike Back
"Well, Mr. Porter, you had
all the propaganda in this coun
try lined up against us the
press was against us. When you
find yourself in such a position,
you have to strike back some
how in self-defense," de Moya
said candidly.
This and much more preoccu
pied a small group in the corner
of the room unknown to most
everyone at the party put on by
the Oregon Centennial Commis
sion for diplomats, most of whom
came and talked trade with the
U.S.
Ambassador de Moya talked
most about- the desirability of
Porter going to Trujilloland
where he assured him the con
gressman would "have a wonder
ful time, see our country and our
beautiful women."
Many a congressman and sen
ator has been taken on this wine
and dine tour to that Caribbean
kingdom, and returned home to
say what a good buy is Trujillo,
especially when Porter has criti
cized the dictator and his hench
men.
It seemed clear that the am
bassador was suggesting the kind
of trade Trujillo is most anxious
'Father' of Coulee
Dam Taken by Death
Whittier, Calif. HP) Funeral
services were held Sunday for
Frank Banks, 74, the "father of
Grand Coulee dam" and leader
in river development, who died
in California last week of a
stroke.
Banks was attending a meet
ing of the Klamath River Com
pact commission when he was
stricken.
He completed a 44-year career
with the Bureau of Reclamation
in 1950. and since- then had
served in an advisory capacity
to the bureau and as advisor to
the Indian government during
construction of the Bhakra dam.
Banks' greatest triumph came
in 1942 with completion of
Grand Coulee dam on the Co
lumbia. It is the greatest con
crete structure in the world.
During his career, he also was
a leader in the construction of
Jackson lake dam, American
Falls dam, Arrowrock dam,
Owyhee dam and the Thief Val
ley dam.
Vision Said Bad .
For Many Children
Portland IIP) Dr. Myron
Scholer, president of the Vision
Conservation Institute of the
Northwest, told delegates at the
opening session of the 30th an
nual Northwest Congress of Op
tometry Sunday that there are
many school children who can
pass a standard 20-20 eye test,
but still have defective vision.
Dr. Scholef, of Idaho Falls,
Ida., said that of children tested
in several Northwest cities 20
per cent were able to pass a
vision test from a chart on a
wall at a distance of 20 feet, but
failed when tested at reading
distance and in eye coordina
tion. More than 400 optometrists
are attending the meetings,
which run through Tuesday.

Oirlt Not For Sail
Geo. N. Taylor
Theee African girls do not work in the
fields as laborers, as is the custom there
(fbouts. Nor are they now as the slave girls
who bear babes that are to sold to make
their masters wealthy. Brute men own these
girl-mothers and by them they raise babes
that are to be sold as they sell a cow. In
stead of that life, these Christian girls are
in training to become graduates nurses.
Tbjery had a vital part in winning the seventy converts who
turned to the Lord in a recent year. And you? Accept Christ
as your Lord and Saviour and He will give you new days.

to make a happy, happy vaca
tion for Porter in the Caribbean
in exchange for a nice, long
period of silence about such un
mentionables as young Murphy
and Dr. Galindez.
United States Warns
On Harming Patriots
United Nations, N. Y. (IP)
The United Nations General As
sembly's 12th annual session
ended Saturday night with a
warning from the United States
that it will demand a special
sitting on Hungary if Russia
and its puppet regime persist in
persecuting patriots of the 1956
revolt.
Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge brought up in the clos
ing hour of the session breaks
that Gen. Pal Maleter, popular
hero of the Hungarian revolt,
and two other Freedom Fight
ers "have now been brought to
trial by the Soviet puppet re
gime in Budapest."
He referred to persecution of
Hungarian patriot intellectuals,
writers, civil and military lead
ers and suppression of workers'
rights in the country.
Uruguay and Netherlands
supported the United States ac
tion. Hungarian delegate Endre
Sik and Czechoslovakia's Jo
sep Ullrich backed the Soviet
opposition.
After six sessions almost
around the clock since Thurs
day night on the perennial "So
viet items on co-existence, the
assembly's last vote was a 77-0
ballot, with Nationalist China
abstaining, on a resolution in
which Yugoslavia called for
"peaceful and neighborly rela
tions among states irrespective
of their divergencies or the rela
tive stages and nature of their
political, economic or social de
velopment." The assembly's - political com
mittee approved the measure at
4:18 p.m. after hearing 45 speak
ers in 17 hours and 26 minutes
of debate.-Three hours later, the
assembly gave it its final ap
proval without debate.
The United States considered
the action a victory because it
prevented Russia from gaining
approval of its propagandistic
"peaceful co-existence" language.
Space Agency Plan
Set Before Solons
Washington OP) Dr. Wern
her Von Braun, the Army's German-born
rocket expert, propos
ed Saturday that the United
States set up a "national space"
agency with a budget of about
$1,500,000,000 a year to seek
dominance in outer space.
He told a Senate investigating
subcommittee that he is convinc
ed the United States has the sci
entific talent already available
"to get a space program going."
He also is convinced, he said,
that this country would be in
"mortal danger" if Russia first
won control of space.
Von Braun appeared before
the senate preparedness subcom
mittee investigating U.S. missile
and satellite programs.
