San Francisco, April 5 Our last word from here was to the general effect that the storm had apparently passed, the skies were clear, and we were going for a walk. Having been deceived several times before, we added that if we had an umbrella we would take it. Well we had none so we didn't take it. Wish we had. If and when we come to "Sunny California" again we will in clude an umbreally British style and make it our constant peripatetic companion. We left in brilliant sunshine about 3:30 p.m.; at exactly 5 p.m. we were caught in a cloudburst at the corner of Geary and Stockton which started as a hailstorm and ended as a deluge. But for sanctuary in the Pan American airways office we would have been drowned. Speaking of airways offices. If it were not for a few department stores and airplane offices the landlords here would be bankrupt. Even the Denver Rio Grande has left Union Square, the Union Pacific is still at the corner of Powell and Geary but in spite of an Easter Crucifixion pano rama in the window looks deserted. The United Air lines at Post and Powell is as busy as a beehive. So are most of the other airplane offices except Western Airlines which has a large notice in the window that it has had to shut down be cause of a strike. It is nice to be in a town running. There were plenty Tucson streets, half buried in The new street-cars on Market ington, D.C., quiet, comfortable bearings but are not certain. street cable cars are still clanging up hill and down dale in the general direction of Fisherman's Wharf. (May they NEVER be abandoned!) In our dash for sanctuary thunder if anyone is interested we found ourselves in the St. Francis entrance with a slick looking Jap at our side. His hair was black as ink and slick he could not talk much English. He peered at the skies, shud dered at the torrential rain and repeated over and over again, " Tomic, 'tomic, 'tomic." One needed no interpreter precedented weather was for at Hiroshima, Nagasaki and elsewhere. And he may be right for all we know, but our GUESS is he isn't. However this is for sure the Japanese people, whether we like it or not, will never forget those first atomic bombs. And the people here in San Francisco had they suffered a similar catastrophe would not, either. Thanks to our excellent clipping service we have enjoyed the past few days, reading the editorial comments of Ore gon's Republican press regarding the alleged feud between Democratic senators Morse and Neuberger. All of them have taken particular exception to the remarks of C. Girard David son, national Democratic committeeman from Oregon, charg ing the "One Party Press" of the state with a persistent effort to exaggerate these personal differences between our two senators in an effort to disrupt and weaken the party in the state. . In choral unison they all proclaim Mr. Davidson is en tirely out of line, that the Republican papers had nothing to do with this schism, they did not create it, Messrs. Morse and Neuberger did. They are merely commenting on the facts not in any sense responsible for them. That is true of course. No one denies Senators Morse and Neuberger have had differences, one bing a confirmed "perfectionist" and the other a congenital "idealist"; such differences were inevit able. But that doesn't refute the charge that the "One Party" press HAS blown up this conflict far beyond its actual im portance, and has done and is still doing everything it can to fan the flames of discord, and do as much harm to the relationship between the two senators, and to their effective ness in Washington as possible. Such making political hay while the sun shines or in this case doesn't should be ex pected. We are not complaining about what the Republican papers in the state are doing, our only complaint is they DENY doing it. As evidence also as a result of our clipping service and some private letters from upstate if the differences between Messrs. Morse and Neuberger are of such supreme impor tance, why should the differences between the three Repub lican candidates for Governor be of no importance whatever? We read nothing about what Secretary Hatfield thinks of Treasurer Unander (off the record of course) or what Sena tor Gill thinks of them both. Yet wherever these candidates have visited, their serious differences are known to the newspapers, and would seem to be of SOME news impor tance. There is complete silence, however, regarding this intra-party split. In unison they deplore the fact that on all issues, two men as different temperamentally as Senator Morse and Neuberger, should fail to see eye-to-eye on every issue that comes up. Nothing in this wicked or scandalous of course. It merely adds up to the fact there are only two or three daily papers in the state that are not 100 per cent for the Grand Old Party. In other words it is 100 per cent partisanship en masse. Nothing wrong about that. Our only complaint, as noted, is WHY deny it? We are pleasd to note from the SEPost that Barney Baruch agrees with the Mail Tribune. (Two great minds of course!) Only we fear Barney said it first. The great finan cial wizard also believes the idea of slashing federal income by an income tax cut is utter folly, and that before the re cession can decline price levels must. We find our Jap friend under the St. Francis canopy who thinks this cock-eyed weather is the result of " 'Tomic" dis turbances is not alone. One of the older girls at breakfast this morning informed her attentive mate that there is no doubt about it whatever Sunny California including Los Angeles has been completely ruined by the Russian "sput niks." (Of course the Eisenhower "sputniks" could have nothing to do with it!) Returning to our excellent "clipping service," we are getting extremely tired of hearing the old familiar wheeze repeated over and over again, that the only thing that pre vented FDR's New Deal recovery program from ruining the country was that Madman Hitler, with an assist from Tokyo in short this country's entrance into World War No. II. Up to that time the Hoover depression got steadily worse instead of better and statistics, particularly unemployment records, are quoted to prove it. Interesting if true but it is 100 per cent false. How do these "experts" including the "Oregon Voter" of course, KNOW what would have happened from 1933 to 1942, if Franklin Roosevelt had done nothing but take Her bert Hoover's place in the White House and declared "a-gain and a-gain, and a-gain" "Prosperity is just around the cor ner"? The answer is they don't. No one does. It is all a guess, made up 80 per cent of hatred, bitterness and stupid parti sanship. Moreover what do the official statistics for 1933 show according to Edward A. Rumely, trustee of the Committee for Constitutional Government, Inc.? Quote: "In four months after April 1933 when the Frank lin Roosevelt administration allowed the dollar price of gold in world markets to increase from $20.67 to $35 there was an immediate upsurge in the prices of farm products, metals, oil and other basic commodities. Farm prices advanced 50 per cent and farmers with out price supports began to buy in large volume. Busi ness immediately increased. Four million men went to work in three months. There was such an upturn as this nation had never before experienced." And that took place nearly , where the street-cars are still of street-car KAlL.b on tne the asphalt, but no street-cars. street are like those in Wash and smooth we suspect ball And of course the famed Powell from the rain and hail also as grease could make it, but to get his meaning. This un him due to the atomic bombs a. decade before the U.S.A. Dennis the Menace ; ; : Tl Ml II II 1 1 M l 'lueOiGHSi se aw if-tub Congress For More On Water Washington CQ) Con gress is pressing for an ancient dream of mankind a cheap and reliable way to convert salt water into fresh water. In 15 years, say Congress men from water-short areas, there will be an acute short age. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.), says "there is a feel ing that not a cussed thing'1 has been done in the past three years on a research pro gram begun six years ago by the Department of Interior. Anderson has . introduced a resolution to . authorize Inter ior to construct a full-scale, $10 million demonstration plant to convert saline water Sen. Francis Case (R-S.D.), would provide the same amount to build two pilot plants one to convert sea water to fresh water and an other on the northern Great Plains to treat brackish water Plant Planned The Interior Department March 28 announced that the U.S. will build its largest water conversion plant yet in the Virgin Islands. It will turn more than 200,000 gallons of sea water into fresh water per day. Behind renewed Congres sional activity on water con version is the fear of a serious water crisis. Agriculture and industry have consumed ever increasing quantities of water and in some areas there never was a great supply. For cen turies man has looked to the oceans which, if de-salted, would provide a limitless supply of fresh water. Inland, mines and low areas filled with brackish water are po tential sources of fresh water. The problem is to find a rea sonably cheap conversion process. Hearings in Congress The Senate Interior and In sular Affairs, Irrigation and Reclamation Subco mmittee heard testimony March 20 and 21 on the Anderson and Case bills. Interior Department witnesses were criticized by Anderson for not "taking a few gambles."

Asked if he would sell the picture rights to the studio he once ruled, Schary chuckled, "I refer you to a remark of the great Samuel Johnson: 'No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.'" An associate added, "You may call this the open Dore policy." Incidentally, the movie mag nate who first summoned Dore Schary to California thought he was hiring a girl, and was mighty surprised when a 6 foot he-man answered the call.

But throughout that period, business conditions were so improved Over what they had been under a Republican administration that there was simp ly no comparison. And yet this antedeluvian "political ex pert" on "The Oregon Voter" has the supreme crust to main tain that all that saved the country from ruin because of the "New Deal" was the order of the Fascist maniac in Berlin to march on Poland!

Stop Me "Dots Schaxy iet Bomb Test Suspension Propaganda Fails To By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Soviet Russia's suspension of nuclear weapons tests has failed to cause the world sensation for which the Kremlin obvi ously hoped. In fact, the biggest impact seems to have been register ed in the Unit ed States, where it was called a great Soviet propaganda victory in the cold war. In other countries, even the "neutralist" ones like India, the announcement caused much less excitement than Washington had feared. A survey of reports which have reached the United States from foreign capitals indicates that there were sev eral reasons why the big prop aganda bomb proved to be more or less a "dud." Reported in Advance The Kremlin "telegraphed its punch." It was reported long in advance of Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromy ko's announcement to the So viet Parliament that Russia intended to suspend tests. The announcement was made immediately after Rus sia had completed a long, im portant series of tests itself, including at least three in the million-ton H-bomb range. It will take a long time for Russian nuclear scientists to assess the results of these tests, and hence a long time before new ones would be planned. . The announcement was made with the knowledge that the United States was just about to start a series of long scheduled tests in the Pacific, McCibb Matter of Fact ey HOUND DOG Washington "GAM-77" has now become Hound Dog. It is a symptom of our times that the foregoing ca b a 1 istic for mula has gen- u i n e future importance to the people of this country ana tne world. It means that josepb Alsop one oi tne ait Force's ground-to-air missile projects, with the catalogue number 77, has shown such promise that a prototype is being built. As the custom is, the weapon has therefore ex changed its number for a name, being officially christ ened Hound Dog. This" information is import ant, in turn, because Hound Dog will provide a badly needed and really significant reinforcement of the declining nuclear striking power of the United States. Hound Dog will somewhat resemble an air-borne version of the Navy's famous and promising Polaris. The Air Force has such confidence in its new missile's performance that an intention to "order quite a lot of them" has al ready been announced to the primary contractor, the North American Aviation Co. Even tually, the combination of the long-range B-52 jet bomber and theh Hound Dog missile with H-bomb warhead is ex pected to provide the big punch of the Strategic Air Command. AS Air-to - ground missiles go, this one will be big. One Hound Dog will be the usual load for a B-52, and two will be a maximum load. It is not decided yet whether to attempt an adaptation to be carried by the B-47, which is another indication of the mis sle's size. Hound Dog's big ness will be worth the load imposed on the delivering air plane, however. One of the most promising ways to increase the invuln erability of the manned bomb er, and to give it something of the character of a missile, has always been to put on board a missile which the bomber can throw at a target from a distance. Hound Dog, being a rocket, will be as difficult -to inter cept as a ballistic missile. Its type of guidance has not been revealed, but the system is said to be virtually immune to the usual electronic tech niques for "fooling" guidance systems. And precisely be cause Hound Dog is big, it can be launched from its carrying bomber at distances up to 400 miles from its tar get. This long range is the missile's truly remarkable characteristic, which will give the Soviet Air Defense plan ners something to worry about. THE truth is that the rapid and massive improve ment of Soviet Air Defense has been causing much con cern to our own air staff, de spite the pooh-poohing of the and was plainly intended to rouse international resent ment against the United States. The announcement was so hedged about with qualifica tions as to be almost mean ingless. Gromyko said that Russia reserved the right to resume tests nless other countries followed its exam ple. This means that if the United States carries out its tests, Russia can say that it must mak more tests in its own defense. One thing that seems to have figured in the reaction to the Gromyko announce ment is that Russia's recent tests were exceedingly "dirty" that is, that they caused a large amount of radioactive fallout. Democratic Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota as serted that the United States had permitted Russia to "get away with political murder" in its suspension propaganda by keeping silent on the fall out. High Fallout Rate Humphrey said: "Informed scientists believe the Soviet explosions spewed into the atmosphere at least twice or possibly three times more ra dioactive material than ever before." "N Scientists of the Atomic Energy Commission did not agree with this. But certain ly the tests were very "dirty." Even in Japan, the Soviet announcement caused little excitement. Japan, which has experienced nuclear bombing, is more sensitive than any other country to the fallout menace. United Press advices from Tokyo say that while the Japanese welcomed the So viet announcement, they in clined to doubt Russia's good faith. Alsop big bomber extremists who always pretend to scorn air defense in any form. Unlike the United States, the Soviet Union since the war has consistently spent a very high proportion 6f its entire defense investment on the air defense of its own ter ritory. Many authorities' put the proportion well above a quarter of the whole vast Sov iet annual outlay for arms. The result today is a com prehensive warning net with far better radars than those in our DEW line; a huge arm ada of first class high speed fighters; and a formidable and growing point defense system using anti - aircraft rockets with nuclear war heads. The nuclear rockets that protect Moscow are al ready in position. The Lening rad ring is going in. Eventual ly all major Soviet urban centers will be similarly pro tected. TTOWEVER, Hound Dog will let our B-52s strike at these nuclear rocket protect ed cities long before the B-52s enter the rocket zone. Indeed, in many cases, Hound Dog will permit B-52s to make their strike after a minimum penetration of the Soviet out er fighter screen. It will im portantly extend the B-52s' range as well, and thus it will add great tactical flexibility to SAC's operations. Alto gether, Hound Dog should be very useful indeed. But although one does not want to seem ungrateful for such a useful animal, there are two points to add to this Hound Dog story.There is obvious danger to democracy, which depends on people knwing where they stand, when such a sentence as the opening one in this report can imply a real change in the strategic standing of the United States. The danger is all the greater, furthermore, because one can be certain that Hound Dog will be given the big Hagerty-Madison Ave nue treatment, being repre sented as adding to the "American lead." In reality, Hound Dog only very partial ly remedies the. American lag. (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Impress In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Hmmmmm. What to talk about today, g The weather, I reckon. There doesn't seem to be much else in the news. T SUPPOSE you're familiar - with the crack to the effect that "everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it." I'm beginning to wonder. In these days, we blame the Russians for everything that's bad. Do you suppose these Russian scientists we're been hearing so much about have been TINKERING WITH THE CLIMATE? I wouldn't put it beyond them. The kind of weather we've had lately is just the about the kind of weather a bunch of communist scientists would mix up if by chance they stumbled onto the recipe. Maybe the Russians are DO ING something about it . FOR a long period of time, tVici "oTrorx'Tinflv tfillrc sM"nit V w . J wu,, .MA.LM MkVMV it but nobody does anything about it" wisecrack was ac credited to Mark Twain. Some years back the staff of the Chicago weather bureau took time off from predict ing and did a job of literary research. They came up with proof that it wasn't Mark Twain who said it. They gave the credit to Charles Dudley War ner, who at the time was edi tor of the Hartford Courant, one of America's oldest and most distinguished newspap ers. I'm willing to lay a small bet, that Mr. Warner coined the phrase on one of those days which come to all editorial writers when there wasn't anything else to talk about, so he fell back on tbe weather. TT ISN'T surprising that mix-up should have occur red as to the authorship of this famous remark. Warner and Mark Twain (whose real name was Samuel Clemens) were close friends. They col laborated in writing one of Twain's best books The Guild- ed Age. Charles Dudley Warner was one of America's disting uished essayists. His books of familiar essays include My Summer in a Garden, On Horseback and Fashions in Literature. His . "Being a Boy" is classic record of his New Eng land boyhood. MARK Twain did quite a lot of talking about the weather, so it is not surpris ing that the "nobody does anything about it" remark should have been credited to him. One of his more famous ones was his statement that he felt that "weather is a lit erary speciality and no un trained hand can turn out a good article on it." One of his more biting comments had to do with the New England climate in the spring. In a moment of bitter ness, he said: "In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours." I'd like to add that if he had been around these parts this morning he could have bettered his count. i : "Almanac Many foxes grow grey, but few grow good.

Chumming and Sportsmanship To the Editor: The recent tremendous incre&se of ang ling pressure, together with the change in fishing reasons affecting the Rogue River drainage, will put a severe strain on the fishing resources of our mountain lakes unless we can better the conserva tion and sporting practices of many anglers. One of the biggest prob lems to be faced is the one of chumming. Aside from its basic illegality, any defense of chumming as a sporting method of taking trout is no defense, but is rather the ra tionalizing of a moral weak ness. Angling for trout is a sport and a sport is measured by how the end is accomplished. It is easy to lose sight of the importance of the method used in trying to achieve an end, such as in catching fish. People must be helped to re alize the importance and this help goes beyond writing a law prohibiting chumming. Those businessmen who will sell feeder eggs to the pros pective chummer must be made to realize they are mor ally responsible in aiding and abetting an illegal act. This is harmful to the sport of fishing in that it destroys the idea of the sport; it is harm ful to the person too weak to withstand the temptation to chum for fish; it is harmful to the businessman who de pends on the sale of sporting goods for a living; and it is harmful to us. Those of us who desire to be sportsmen and are serious about improving the sport of fishing have a definite job to do in this problem. We must realize that an unsports manlike act hurts all of us if it harms the sport and we should make it our business to see that there is less of it. We should tell the poor sport we don't like his method, and if it is illegal and he per sists in his illegal act, we should see that the law is en forced by signing a complaint against him. Many people chum because they are ignor ant and because they think no one cares if they chum. They should be made to re alize we care about the sport and that we consider them thieves of a type. Business men who sell tackle used to perform unsportsmanlike or illegal acts should be told of our disapproval, and if they persist, be actively boycotted. If this sounds severe, re member that many people cannot Judge their actions good or bad without help from others. Let's give them that help. Hank DeVoss, Talent, Ore.
