Washington Rep. Charles
O. Porter (D-Ore.) flew back
to Washington from the Paci-
week
con-

rjt went to the
I T V atomic test
grounds that
the United
I States should
j d i s c o n tinue
'setting off.
nuclear test blasts.
uring a visit to the test
grofts, where he conferred
wih the military officials in
chfrfi of the current Hard
dart series of nuclear tests,
Congressman Porter obtained
f rk information which modi
fiatt some of his previous
(j-?'S. But he returned with
lasic convictions:
. . . that we stop the tests
fe, tear off most of the
9$ey about atomic develop
Jhints, nd face up to the fact
thff stumbling into war is far
morf likely than is deliberate
engagement by any nation's
cStoice. An armaments race, a
tight security program, and a
persistence in denying human
fallibility will, together or
separately,' tend to create the
conditions conducive to the
all-gut thermonuclear war."
Porter sees a stop in tests
as "only a first step toward
effective disarmament and
real peace." By "effective dis
armament," he means arms
control. He believes that since
evasion of disarmament agree
ments would be hard to de
tect, "we must for a long, long
time maintain our capabilities
for all-out and limited nuclear
war. This capability by itself
will not cause war. The lack
of it probably would."
Can Afford to Quit
Since the U.S. already has
a sufficient stockpile of all
out nuclear weapons, Porter
says we can afford to discon
tinue the tests. The current
tests, he reported, are not of
the all-out variety of nuclear
devices. They are of smaller
weapons.
Going to Eniwetok made
Porter recognize the utility
of smaller weapons for use
in limited wars "brushfire
wars" of the type which
would not clearly warrant use
of the most powerful H-bomb.
During the long plane ride
to the Pacific, Porter had
time to read Choice for Sur
vival by Louis Halle, who
points out that the difference
in destructiveness between
previous weapons and the H
bomb is really one of kind
rather than degree.
Series of Aggressions
"For the first time there
is a weapon which, if used,
makes reasonable limitation
impossible," says Halle. He
goes on to point out that the
Russians might commit a
"series of successive aggres
sions, each of which is, in it
self, so limited or ambiguous
that we do not feel ourselves
justified in retaliating with
the nuclear holocaust in
which all would be con
sumed." Military officials claim we
need to develop and test smal
ler and cleaner nuclear weap
ons for use in such engage
ments. This , has not been
spelled out very clearly.
Right after Porter returned
from his trip, he took the
House floor to express his
views and to announce, with
Atomic Energy Commission
sanction, that the tests had
begun. What perplexes Por
ter and newspapermen here is
that he, rather than reporters
who could be on the scene at
Eniwetok, told what is going
on.
At a National Press club
luncheon the next day at
which AEC Chairman Lewis
Strauss was guest speaker,
he was asked whether he
didn't think that if reporters
were allowed to cover the
current tests they could give
an explanation of the tests
which would result in' the
world having a more sympa
thetic view of our continuing
the tests in the face of Russia's
challenge to us to stop them
Two Guest Houses
Strauss' first reaction was
to say that Russia didn't allow
the press to cover its tests.
Then he said they didn't have
facilities for the press. Porter
said they have two guest
houses which could accom
modate at least 30 reporters.
Then Strauss said the press
might bare our secrets to the
Soviets. Yet the press . had
been allowed to cover the
tests in Nevada. -
Porter noted what might
be another reason for barring
the press. He said of the 30
tests, not more than half were
expected to be announced be
cause, according . to Time
magazine, the AEC wanted
to avoid "too much saber
rattling."
"The top scientists at Eni
wetok," said' Porter, "told me
they could see no reason why
the purposes and results of
each test as far as they were
known could not be made
public after each blast."

Gill Provides Most
Of Sparks in Bid '
For Governor's Job
Editor's note: This is another in
a series of profiles on the candi
dates for governor in the May pri
mary. Today: Warren Gill.
Portland U Warren Gill,
45-year-old state senator from
Lebanon, has provided most
of the sparks in the campaign
for the Republican nomination
for governor.
Gill has spoken out blunt
ly against his two principal
opponents, State Treasurer
Sig Unander and Secretary of
State Mark Hatfield. He has
advocated a sales tax to re
duce property taxes and bene
fit education. He says he has
campaigned without the finan
cial backing given Unander
and Hatfield and shortly after
his announcement for the post,
said:
"For too long the clique of
money bags in Portland has
been calling the tune in Ore
gon, and it's going to stop."

campaign, Gill retorted;
"Those two cats have been
sitting on the fence purring at
each other and now they are
squawling." 4
Gill has been in the state
Legislature for 10 years. He
and Democrat Walter Pearson
were the chief rivals for presi
dent of the Senate at the start
of the 1957 Legislature. The

He worked in a service station

afire."

Mediterranean, is 10 miles
longer, but I don't see how
anyone could say there are
better tasting trout anywhere
than those of the Tegus. We
had some today and they're
as delicious as any I've had
in the states.
The country over which we
flew looks much like that in
our West. The Tragus cuts
through rugged canyons, and
the brown rolling hills and
jagged mountains we saw re
minded us of both California
and Montana.
An even stronger reminder
came today during a drive we
took into the Madrid country
side. . ' -
We stopped at a wild spot
to admire the view. As I look
ed off over a little valley, I
saw a grouse break cover and
wing its way above the tops
of poplars lining a stream.
Something impelled me to
look up. There was a hawk
there, gliding in a circle.
He too, spotted the grouse
and dove on it, as silent as a
bullet and as deadly. He hit
the grouse at the back of the
neck, and the two fell slowly
into a grassy space.
"He's trussing him, our
driver exclaimed. "It's a fal
con." Stuffed Grouse In Coat
As I recalled "trussing" is
what a falcon does when it
brings its prey to earth in its
talons, a man stepped out of
a clump of trees. There was
a heavy leather glove on his
left hand. He picked up his
falcon a peregrine tied
him to his wrist and hooded
him, then stuffed the grouse
in his hunting coat.
We talked to the falconer
it's quite a sport in Spain
and he told us he had had
his hawk for nine years and
expected to hunt with her for
for that many more. The best
falcons are females. They are
larger and more powerful
than the males.
When we said good-bye to
the falconer and got back into
the car, the land and the birds
still reminded me of home.
The difference lay in the way
the Spaniards use their
hawks..
