MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Moitdiy, May 19, 1958 Nixon Controversial Figure With Many Politicians Br LYLE C. "WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) None can say precisely when the name Richard M. Nixon be came fighting words. Smile, stranger, when you call me that. But fighting words they did become among Democrats generally and especially among the left wing of American politics. This mild-mannered young Quaker with a quick smile which sometimes is shy be came in the span 'of a few years the most controversial figure in American politics. It will be 12 years next No vember since Nixon first was elected to the House of Rep resentatives, eight years in November since he was elec ted to the Senate. Two years ago, come No vember, Nixon was reelected vice president and two years from next November, who knows, he may be elected President? Nixon has been called a young man in a hurry and less flattering things, too. You might say Nixon put to se vere test the statement of an earlier vice president, That was Indiana's Tom Marshall, 1913-21. "No one," said Marshall, "ever would take the. trouble to shoot a vice president." Gets Jted-Faced don't shoot people, however strong the urge. Speaker Sam Rayburn gets red-faced at the mention of Nixon's name and sometimes is unable to find handy words adequate for his feelings. Former President Harry S. Truman will not knowingly enter a room in which Nixon is present. Mr. T. doesn't want to co-star any where with President Eisen hower, either. It is for Nixon, however, that the political opposition and notably the left wing all the way to and including the Communists reserve their best anger. There's some anti-Nixon sentiment in the Republi can party, too, but not much. Not one vote was cast in the 1956 Republican National Convention against Nixon's renomination. Nixon stands to make his enemies like him less this year than last. What burns them is his campaign speech es and, of course, their in ability, so far, to lick him. In that first campaign for the House 1946 Nixon made a solid bid for the left wing blacklist. He beat Jer ry Voorhis, an able veteran who also was a notable New Dealer. Four years later 1950 Nixon compounded the of fense by defeating another sweetheart of the well-to-left- Tkt enemies Nixon makes of-center element. She was and abroad. Helen Gahagan Douglas, the prettiest member of Congress ever who was serving in the House with Nixon when both decided to run for the Sen ate. It was in August, 1948, that Nixon got his pick into a gold mine. The occasion was the appearance of Alger Hiss be fore the House Committee on Un-American activities. Nix on was among the few in that ; big room who believed Hiss was lying. That belief made Nixon a national figure. To say that to doubt Hiss was unpopular puts it too mildly. Doubting Hiss just then offended good manners, like dirty finger nails. The nation's eggheads and others leaped as though bee-stung to Hiss' defense. So Nixon went into the 1952 national campign with a background which included the political demise of Voor his and Mrs. Douglas, the jail ing of Hiss, service on the. House Committee on Un-American activities. He chose the soft-on-Communism issue as a major 1952 campaign theme. Opposition Hate has eased a bit and there is even talk of a new Nixon. How ever that may be, the young man in a hurry still- moves fast, secure in the affection of many persons for some of the enemies he has made at home Morse Fed Up On Canadians (Hitting Wheat Program r A. ROBERT SMITH Wail Tribune Correspondent Washington Sen. Wayne Mors (D-Ore.) and a good many of his colleagues on the foreign relations committee gre more than slightly fed up with Canadian criticism of U.S. policy regarding wheat mrfceting abroad. To stiffen the back of the American ambassador, Liv ingston T. Merchant, who must regresent the American point t$ view in Ottawa, the com irfittee called him to Washing ton last Friday for a lengthy o-round on some points of irritation. While the points rangefl from St. Lawrence Seaway tolls to the price of bi?tr iu Canada, what was plainly of utmost concern was whtat. Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D Minn.) opened the issue by iying he was tired of carping fpom the Canadians over America's policy of selling het to many foreign coun tries under Public Law 480. American wheat sales have climbed under this program because the purchase can be made in foreign currency, rather than dollars, with the government giving the wheat seller dollars for the foreign currency. "Canada has a political problem with wheat," observ ed Humphrey, "and there is no neater way of handling it than to blame the United States. We do the same thing, blaming Japan or some other country when we run into trouble." Humphrey and Sen. Burke Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) point ed out to the ambassador that American farmers are restrict ed in the acres of wheat they can grow to be sold under gov ernment price supports, whereas Canada imposes no acreage control on its farmers and yet blames its wheat sur pluses on American "dump ing" of wheat , on the world market. Merchant said he had point ed out to Canadians how we had cut production, and that this was not as much an irri tant as before. "This propaganda about wheat dumping," said Sen. Morse, "is against the long time self-interest of the Ca nadians, for shipment after shipment of America wheat has gone to countries that Ca nada never sold to before." Morse, recalling his visit to India and Asia last Decem ber, said he saw "what an imaginative job U.S. attaches are doing in changing the diet from rice to wheat.

The most important con sideration, went on Morse, is that America and Canada are both in a long-term economic contest with Soviet Russia. "We are not appreciative of getting kicked in the teeth by our Canadian neighbors," Morse declared. "In sending out our wheat we are really making a strike against the R u s s i a ns. The Canadians ought to be passing resolutions of commendation." Morse said the same funda mental applies to the dispute over use of the Columbia river. Russia, he observed, is building gigantic hydroelec tric projects which will dwarf our largest dams. "When Gen. McNaughton talks of diversion (of the Co- Canada and the United States on the power front," said Morse. He said reports of a possible diversion, to the detriment of the Pacific Northwest create the impression on this side of the border that Canada is go ing "to make us pay through the nose" for any power agree ment. "We have a common prob lem with Russia," he added, "and when one weakens the other, we are both weakened. Food and power are the two areas in which the economic struggle with Russia will be fought. We and Canada must stick together." Sen. Mike. Mansfield (D Mont.) asked about progress on getting agreement to build Libby dam. Merchant said he had delivered a note to the Canadian government three weeks ago asking for ne gotiations but had not yet re- lumbia) it will weaken both ceived an answer.
