Teen Age
We don't know what started it, but a recent
trend throughout the nation is for the drawing
up of "Codes of Conduct" for teen agers.
This is all to the good.
For it tends to focus attention on the problems
which our young people run into in the difficult
process of growing up, and provide a basis for
thinking about them rationally.
NCE upon a time, when the phrase "teen ager"
was still unknown, the thought of a "code of
conduct" for young people would have appeared
slightly silly. Those were the days when parents
and teachers laid down the rules, and woe unto
the youngster who didn't follow them. He got
clobbered.
But today's society is a far, far different thing
than it was in the days when parents' authoritari
an discipline was unquestioned. Young people
have more freedom today; they have (or have
the use of) automobiles; they have a wide variety
of organized extra curricular activities, both in
and away from school.
And often perhaps too often parents
have only a hazy idea of where their children are,
or what they are doing.
THUS the old relationships have changed, to
the considerable discomfort, in many cases,
of both the child and the parent. And in too many
cases there has been a vacuum in the place of
what once was a fully-understood, if not always
easy, relationship.
It seems to us that it is this vacuum which the
codes of conduct are designed to fill.
It is in the nature of adolescents to press for
every avantage in the way of bedtime, car and
telephone privileges, dating,, and in other phases
of their conduct.
And in case after case, the parents, distant as
they are from their youngster's activities, have
not known exactly what is reasonable and prop
er. "All the other kids are doing it" can be a diffi
cult argument to answer sometimes. One does not,
after all, want to be thought an old fuddy-duddy
by one's offspring.
CO A code of conduct, mutually discussed and
understood by both parents and their chil
dren, serves as a point where both generations
can find a standard.
The "code" will not serve as an iron-clad list
of rules and regulations, even if it is formally
"adopted" by any group of parents and young
people. But it is a tool whereby parents can gain
an understanding of some of the things which
have troubled youngsters in recent years, and
whereby young people can, perhaps, begin to get
a glimmering of the problems which their parents
face in trying to provide them with a good and
wholesome start in life.
If such a code will do
as a minimum, it will be serving a useful purpose.
'
THE codes we have seen (and they have been
Pacific coast and elsewhere) talk about such
things as parties, telephone use, dating, family
chores and responsibilities, bedtime for differ
ent age groups, use of the family car, going steady
and its implications, allowances and how earned,
and so on.
These are problems which crop up in every
home where there is a teen ager. In some homes
the problems amount to nothing at all ; in others
they can be a severe stumbling block to family
unity, understanding and happiness.
If such codes of conduct can offer a basis for
mutual understanding of mutual problems, they
will be worth a great deal.
THEY will not serve this purpose, however, un
L less they are discussed and understood and
within certain limits agreed upon by both
parents and youngsters.
It is for this reason that we are glad to note
that the McLaughlin Junior High school Parent
Teacher association the other day took up the
study of a proposed code in some detail, with
thoughts offered by both students, parents and the
faculty. A similar proposed code has been sub
mitted to the high school here for study. It was
adopted at a "youth conference" sponsored by
the governor last November.
Perhaps it would be too much to expect for it
to be adopted and followed by parents and their
children universally. As one Salem student said
about it, "The kids to whom the code most applies
will pay the least attention to it."
But another student said what is probably
just as important: "Its value is that it tells par
ents that all teen agers aren't juvenile delin
quents, and that they are concerned with proper
behavior and the problems of society." E.A.
New Word for "Accident"?
The traffic safety division of the state depart
ment of motor vehicles wants a new name for
what has been called a "traffic accident."
"The word 'accident' provides a neat escape
hatch for drivers and pedestrians already eager
to shift the blame for their traffic misdeeds to
someone or something else," the department says,
adding, "Anyone care to offer a new word that
really describes what happens when a driver fails
to live up to the responsibility driving gives him?"
Suggestions will be f orwarded to the division.

By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) The Re
publican high command has
been informed that the Citi
zens- f or-Eisen-hower
(CFE)
Drganiz a t i o n
will have a
new chairman
for the 1958
con gressional
campaign
and, maybe,
a some what
more realistic
Lyie c. Wilson role in nation
al politics.
The new chairman will be
Lloyd MacMahon, a 45-year-old
New York lawyer and for
mer assistant U.S. attorney.
He was CFE chairman in
New York state for the 1956
presidential campaign
MacMahon will succeed
John Reed Kilpatrick who
also is chairman of the board
of Madison Square Garden in
New York City. Gen. Lucius
D. Clay has been and prob
ably will continue to be a big
wheel in CFE and Thomas E.
Stephens, an unofficial but in
fluential White House consult
ant, is expected to continue to
help shape the organization's
policies.
Has Raised Money
CFE has had a spotty rec
ord. It has done a profession
ally successful job of money
raising $5,000,000 in the last
three campaigns despite an
amateurish approach to poli
tics which was the despair of
realistic Republican politicos.
The CFE set-up was ideal for
obtaining funds from individ
uals who for one reason or
another preferred not to con
tribute directly to Republican
Party campaign organizations.
The political pros were sad
dened by the use to which
CFE put its campaign funds,
comparatively little of which
went to candidates in the
form in which it w a s most
welcome and. needed. That
form," of course, would be in
cash or by check of substan
tial proportions. CFE appar
ently did not realize the haz
ards of thumbing into Repub
lican primaries.
The maneuver, however,
which most offended many
Republican organiza tion
workers, right down to the
grass roots, was the 1956 ef
fort to prevent the renomina
tion of Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon. General Clay
generally was accounted the
head man in that operation,
his stop-Nixon enthusiasm
evidently having been fired
by a poll which mistakenly
came up with the opinion that
Nixon would be a liability to
President Eisenhower in the
1956 campaign. This same
poll produced the names of

some alternates, among them
Harold E. Stassen.
That may account for the
confidence with which Stas
sen in 1956 assumed public
leadership of the stop-Nixon
movement, a role he surren
dered at the 1956 San Fran
cisco convention just in time
to speak in favor of Nixon's
renomination.
Needs Funds
Many of the so-called prac
tical Republicans, the veteran
party men, acquired a dim
view of the Citizens-for-Eisen-
hower operation except for
its money-raising potential. It
probably is fair to say that
they merely tolerate CFE to
day and hope for the best. A
realistic view of the situation
is that the Republican pros
want and need only one thing
from CFE-campaign funds.
They are accustomed to
working with CFE personnel
Peter H. Clayton, a lawyer
and CFE veteran, gained the
confidence of the practical
politicians over the years.
That was peculiarly because
he in 1956 was the first and
for a long period the only
cuHi omcial to endorse Nix
on's renomination.

James T. Marr, president of

the federal government could
buy out Brownlee dam for
$76 million when it is com

Walter Lippmann cannot be
scored exact
ly, we know on no less an au
thority than Mr. Dulles him
self that at this stage in the
game the Russians are lead
ing. The best evidence of this
is that there is mounting popu
larity pressure in the Western
world in favor of accepting
their proposal to hold another
meeting at the summit.
The idea of a meeting at
the summit has become the
rallying point of the opposi
tion parties in Western Eu
rope, and there are important
signs that the idea is making
deep inroads among the
parties which support the gov
ernments. In Germany, the
furious success of Mr. Ken-
nan's lectures has been a clear
sign of the strength of the op
position to Dr. Adenauer's
government. On the question
of a parley at the summit, Mr.
Macmillan is on the political
defensive at home, and even
here the President and Mr
Dulles have felt that they
must in some measure bend
with the pressure.
V
YET there are the strongest
no good and mucn narm
would be done if under pres
ent conditions there were s
meeting at the summit. Mr.
Dulles has surely been right
in wishing to avoid such a
meeting and no one has argu
ed his case more cogently
than Mr. Kennan himself.
The question we must ask
ourselves is why this wrong-
headed idea is winning such
popular support in the West
ern world.
It has been said that the
democracies are easily de
luded, and will grasp at any
straw which seems to offer
relief from the threat of war
and the heavy burdens of the
race of armaments. That may
well be true. But it begs the
underlying question which is
why the democracies are
grasping at this straw.
The answer to that question
is, I believe, that the leaders
of the democracies are not
giving them anything else to
grasp. Mr. Dulles, Dr. Aden
auer, and Mr. Macmillan have
given the impression not only
that they do not want to nego
tiate at the summit but that
they do not want to negotiate
at all. They have created this
impression because on the
crucial issues of the cold war
in Germany, in the Middle
East and in Eastern Asia
they have been standing in
flexibly for terms which
they and all the world know
are not negotiable.
THE effective answer to the
Russian 4 proposal, which
is undoubtedly propagandist,
would be a concrete effort to
negotiate some specific issue
through normal diplomatic
channels. It might be the limi
tation of arms shipments to
the Middle East. It might be
the thinning out of the garri
sons in Central Europe. It
might be the Polish plan for
central zone without nu
clear weapons.
It must be something def
inite and substantial. As long

The United States, which
sponsored the alliance, never
has joined it. But it has joined
METO's economic, anti-subversion
and finally its mili
tary committee.
Thus the United States has
edged gradually toward full
membership. It has held off
taking the final step largely
because it does not want to
antagonize Egypt and Syria,
which bitterly oppose it.
First Dulles' Attendance
However, Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles will at
tend next week's meeting
the first he ever has attended.
say no to a parley at the sum
mit, say no to concrete and
limited proposals, they are
surrendering the diplomatic
and the propagandist initia
tive to the Soviet Union. And
they cannot hope to gain the
initiative by elaborate pro
posals about disarmament,
which nobody understands, or
by suggesting that in the vast
reaches of outer space we
might in the end do by a
metaphysical n e g o t i ations
what we cannot do by diplo
macy on earth.
T HAVE been talking about
the propaganda contest in
which we are engaged, and I
do not mean to suggest that
there is any near prospect that
the Russians will negotiate a
limited settlement. There is
on the contrary, good reason
to think that both sides prefer
the existing division of Ger
many and of Europe to any
settlement that has thus far
been proposed.
The Western governments
are afraid that a reunited Ger
many, with the British and
American and Russian troops
withdrawn, would hold the
balance of power and use it to
make Germany dominant in
Europe. The Soviet govern
ment is afraid that if ever it
withdrew from Eastern Ger
many, the whole satellite em
pire would blow up and be
replaced not by neutralist gov
ernments but by implacably
anti-Russian governments.
These reciprocal fears make
for the maintenance of the
status quo. They are the stand
ing obstacles to any general
settlement, be it at the sum
mit or through normal diplo
macy. ' .
THE chances are that this
deadlock will not be re
solved by the initiative of 'the
great powers, but rather oy
political developments in both
halves of Europe. In tne east
ern half there is always some
prospect of a revolt of the
Hungarian type. In the. West
ern half there is the likelihood
that within a few years, with
in the term of this Administra
tion, there will be new gov
ernments in Western Europe,
and that in these governments
the existing opposition parties
will play a leading part.
If and when that happens,
it will be very important that
we should not have alienated
them and thus find ourselves
on the outside looking in.

Simple Life Due
On Satellite Trip
Washington (IP) The
United States will put a sim
ple form of life in one of its
baby moons to be launched
between now and March, it
was learned today.
Dr. Hiden T. Cox, executive
director of the American In
stitute of Biological Sciences,
told the United Press Navy
scientists are now altering
satellite designs to accommo
date a culture of yeast cells.
Cox, said this simple form
of life will yield "infinetely
more significant data than
putting a mammal, such as a
dog," in space at the present
time.
He conceded that Russia got
a lot of propaganda mileage
out of putting a dog in Sput
nik II. He said there are in
dications that Russia will put
simple life in future satellites.
The Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration says automatic
computer control of most air
plane flights is expected by

SMITH
at Genessee
This is sufficient indication
of the importance attached to
the meeting.
Among the items on the
program are means of com
bating Soviet Russia's in
creasing penetration in the
Arab countries and Commu
nist - inspired subversion in
Jordan and Iraq.
As part of this objective, it
is certain that the United
States wjll be asked to in
crease the amount of its eco
nomic aid to METO countries,
and especially to Turkey and
Iran.
Premier Adnan Menderes
of Turkey is expected also to
urge that METO be tied in
more closely with the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization,
whose aim is to combat Com
munist aggression in Europe.
Turkey and Britain are
both members of NATO as
well as METO.
Russia's successful penetra
tion of Egypt and Syria and
its attempt to penetrate other
Arab countries also will be
an important topic for discus
sion. Russian propaganda
throughout the Middle East is
both extensive and successful.
Dulles is to arrive in Iran
Friday on his way to the
METO meeting. He will con
fer all day Saturday with
Shah Mohammed Reza Pah
levi, Premier Mancuchehr
Eghbal and Foreign Minister
Ali Gholi Ardelan.
Iran To Appeal
Dispatches from Tehran say
that the Iranians will make
an urgent appeal to Dulles for
more economic and military
aid.
Turkey is certain to ask
for more aid too. Turks are
inclined to resent the United
States giving much more aid
to "neutralist" India, for in
stance, than it is to Turkey,
which is a defense bastion on
Russia's direct path to the
Arab countries.
The overalL objective of the
conference, however, will be
to strengthen the METO alli
ance. Important as it obvi
ously is, METO has proved to
be largely a paper pact. One
reason is that the United
States has not joined it. 'Tur
key is expected to urge that
the United States join now.
But Washington dispatches
say Dulles believes that the
time for that has not yet
come.
One thing seems pretty cer
tain. Either the METO alli
ance will be strengthened by
next week'gmeeting or it will
be weakened.

By FRANK JENKINS
In his annual report to the
congress on the state of the
nation's economy, President
Eisenhower paints a reason-'
ably hopeful picture of the
business future.
He says:
"As we look ahead in 1958,
there are grounds for expect
ing that the decline in busi
ness activity need not be pro
longed and that economic
growth can be resumed with
out extended interruption.
"There are good grounds
for confidence not only that
economic growth can be RE
SUMED WITHOUT A PRO
LONGED DELAY but also
that a vigorous EXPANSION
of our economy can be sus-:
tained OVER THE YEARS."
BUT ro
lie auus
STABLE PRICES ARE ES
SENTIAL TO A SOUND,:
PROSPEROUS, EXPANDING
ECONOMY.
If our economic future is
to be kept bright and hopeful,
two things must be done:
1. Business leaders must
hold price increases to
amounts warranted bv in
creased production costs.
2. Labor must limit its de
mands for higher wages to
gains in productivity per man
power. Otherwise, the wage-price
spiral will WRECK us.
WHY?
" Let's take a look at one
straw in the business winds
with which more or less
everyone is familiar the
fact that foreign-built cars are
not only outselling us in the
markets of the world but are
biting increasingly into the
DOMESTIC market for American-built
automobiles.
Foreigners the Germans,
the British, the French and
the Italians, notably have
learned how to make small
cars that people LIKE and

2. "Whatever our national

In all the doubt and un
