No one knows what tomorrow's world will
bring. But some of the better-informed guesses
have considerable fascination. -
. For instance, W. M. Kiplinger, the editor of
the well-known Washington "letter" and other
publications, recently had his staff do a job of re
search in many different fields among experts, to
construct some sort of picture of the future.
As a result, he told recent graduates of Ohio
State University that:
. There will be no world war; there will be limi
tation of armaments; there will be a continued
cold war on the economic front; there will be a
good long boom, with minor recessions; that
there will be new products, new methods, such as
never seen before, and that there will be gradual
ly rising prices. These, he said, will be the pattern
within the next 25 years.

Washington Report
By William S. White
THE SHAKEN G.O.P.
Washington The Republi-
can party is : reeling as it has
not done since the Democratic
1 peak . under
jFran klin D.
Roosevelt.
Fear and
defeatism, as
privately ex-
fi pressed in Re-
v1 publican Con
gressional and
other quarters
here, is thick.
wiuam s. white It is so extra
ordinary as to seem to a de
tached observer tp be almost
absurdly extreme.
The Republicans see for
themselves a future far gloom
ier than the most partisan
Democrat dares assume. More
over, no , impartial analysis
makes it look quite so . bad
for the Republicans as they
insist it is assuming . that
they are able soon to pull up
their socks. ...
The GOP is not simply put
ting a finger to the panic
button; it is leaning on that
button,- arm, shoulder and
torso.
The Republicans are now
even discussing whether to
prepare a solemn catalogue
of alleged Democratic influ
ence peddling going back two
decades to the Roosevelt Ad
ministration. That this sort of
answer" to the Sherman
Adams affairs should even be
thought of is the best illustra
tion of the Republican state
of mind.
QBVIOUSLY,- such a pro-
cedure would be the same
as a plea of guilty "Any
how, you're another; and you
were one first."
Senior Republicans are
speaking, not simply of? a
heavy defeat in the Congres
sional elections this fall; they
are muttering of '"distaster."
The reason is .not solely the
Adams case, though it has, in
deed, hit the Republicans like
a paralytic stroke. Public re
action is only their obvious
worry. Equally important is
worry for the effect within
the GOP organization itself.
For, overly-dramatic though
it sounds, the Republican
party seems to be coming
apart at the seams. The mam
reasons are two:
1. Adams' acceptance of fa
vors from his rich business
man friend has dangerously
and overnight reduced the
power of the whole Eisenhow
er wing -of the -party. It has
thus set off party in-fighting.
THE orthodox Republicans
have worked in outward
harmony with the Eisenhower
Republicans only because of
the immense public appeal of
the President. Now, with the

AN ARMY DRAFTEE was observed by his lieutenant me
thodically depositing dimes in a PX soft drink machine. As
each bottle was delivered,, the recruit carefully lined it up on
the table and put in another
dime. When the lineup had
reached a total of 14 bottles,
the' lieutenant figured the
time had come to interfere.
"Don't you think that will
hold you for the time be
ing?" he inquired.
"What?" protested the
draftee. "You want I should
quit right in the middle of
a winning streak?"
All day long Mr. Shaugnessy
sat fishing from the end of
the recreation pier, and all day
long a stranger sat behind
him, watching intently. Finally Mr. Shaugnessy turned and asked
with sarcastic politeness, "Did it ever occur to. you to do some fish,
ing of your own?" -
"Never," admitted the kibitzer cheerfully. "I haven't the patience

fall of Adams and he .has,
in fact, fallen, no matter how
much longer he may stay in
office the orthodox no
longer pretend any fondness
for anybody in the White
House.
And the decline of Sher
man Adams is in a real but
lesser way the decline of Gen
eral Eisenhower ' the de
cline, that is, of his practical
influence within his party.
2. The Adams affair has had
a cumulative shock effect
upon the Republicans gen
erally. Their story already
had been like the perils of
Pauline. As the middle-aged
will remember, that unfortun
ate girl seemed to spend her
life tied to one railroad track
or another while the locomo
tive whistled in the distance,
In January the Republicans
were fearful of the political
effect of the Soviet sputniks.
After a while they largely
worked out . of this danger,
but the memory shook them
Next, , it began to appear
that massive farm resentment
was building up. This men
ace, too, then seemed to pass
with the rise of agricultural
income.
A ND then came Bernard
Goldfine's great generosity
to Sherman Adams.
This episode could . .have
been far better handled by
the party as a whole had
there been a party of the
whole. But there never was
such a party.
Adams never held any pow
er based upon general party
consent or acceptability. He
held only a second-hand pow-
er of discipline from the
President. He was only the
mouthpiece of the "modern"
Republicans; he had no weight
in his own right. ,
From the day Adams went
in he has been resented by
the "regular" Republicans
He has given them little job
patronage, little time and
less courtesy. They are repay
ing him now, and the more
so because they think that for
this .campaign year the Re
publican ship is sinking any
how.
But it is not only Sherman
Adams who is shaken. The
whole "modern" Republican
apparatus has been shaken
with him.

Fight Goes On
To the Editor: An effort

to win on the Senate floor an

cruelties to animals in many
packing plants. The Humane
Society of the United States
is opposing a "study" bill the
Senate Agriculture commit
tee recently reported out.
Throughout the three year
Congressional campaign for
humane slaughter legislation,
humanitarians have opposed
"study" legislation on the
grounds that it would actual
ly delay the use of humane
slaughtering methods. The hu
mane organizations insist that
the painless killing - methods
have been sufficiently stud
ied. The few packers using
humane methods find them
economical and efficient.
The American Meat Insti
tute and -the Department of
Agriculture joined forces in
urging Congress to enact a
study measure. The bill writ
ten and reported by the Sen
ate Agriculture committee is
considered by the HSUS a
device to defeat effective leg
islation. It would direct the
Secretary of Agriculture to
study slaughtering methods
for two years.
The biU is expected to reach
the Senate floor in July.
Amendment on the floor, to
return the bill to the language
of Congressman Poage's ef
fective bill, which the House
passed in February, would
mark the beginning of the5
end of slaughterhouse cruel
ties to animals in our country.
Humane minded people can

Senate by writing or wiring

amendment and a roll call

WHITE HORSE
TRAILER PARK
Congratulations definit e I y
are in order for members of
the Josephine County Park
Commission the County Court,
and all others who partici
pated in establishment of
White Horse Trailer Park.
They have provided this area
with the first publicly-owned
camping facilities adequate in
nature for the accommodation
of tourists who may want to
stay several days or even sev
eral weeks in scenic Southern
Oregon. .
Th"e new trailer park re
portedly is only the second
publicly - owned development
of its kind between Shasta
Dam, in Northern California,
and the state of Washington
It will serve a growing need
as thousands of additional
trailer tourists take to the
road each year.
In many other parts of Ore
gon the state highway com
mission has developed state
parks for over-night camping.
The portion of Josephine
county around Grants Pass,
however, has not been includ
ed in these developments.
Hence the necessity for local
action,' if this community is
to offer something for trailer
tourists who may want to stay
over a few days.
White Horse Trailer Park
is located between Lower
River Road and the Rogue
river, about seven miles west
of Grants Pass. It is a beau
tiful shaded area of big oaks,
pme, fir and. madrone trees.
It affords cool, comfortable
camping spots for persons
who wish to park their trail
ers on the Rogue, or establish
headquarters for side trips to
other points of interest in
Southern Oregon. We predict
that many campers who plan
to spend only a day or two
in this park will end up by
remaining for a week or
longer.
That's exactly what this
community needs; something
to cause the tourists to stay
here longer. Otherwise they
pay for a night's lodging, buy
a meal and possibly a tank of
gasoline, and are on their
way. Grants Pass Courier.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
At a news conference in
New York the other day Al
bert Cole, U.S. housing admin
istrator, told the reporters
there is highly encouraging
evidence that a MAJOR up
turn in home building is un
der way.
He said the home building
figures for May are a new all
time high for applications and
he reaffirmed his belief that
there will be close to 1,100,000
new housing starts this year.
rpHAT'S for the country as a
whole. .
According to the statistical
department of Equitable Sav
ing and Loan Association, the
Pacific Northwest is doing all
right in the . way of home
building. The report says that
in May the dollar, value of
all dwelling permits issued by
the area's 64 largest cities was
up 17 per cent from the total
for May of last year. ,'
It adds that May was the
fifth consecutive month dur
ing which the dwelling per
mit total climbed above the
1957 levels. In comparison
with last year, the residential
dollar volume was up 11 per
cent in January, 21 per cent
in February, 14 per cent in
March and 14 per cent in
April.
rpHAT brings up an interest-
The Pacific Northwest,
whose chief industry is the
manufacture of building mate
rials, HAS CONFIDENCE IN
THE FUTURE OF ITS OWN
LEADING INDUSTRY and is
investing heavily in new
homes.
THAT is to say:
teresting point.
Home building was one of
the first industries to begin
to slack off. As a result, the
Pacific Northwest (along with
Far Northern California) was
about - the first area in the
nation to feel the beginning of
the recession.
The present upswing in
home building gives us good
reason to believe that this
area, which because of shrink
ing markets for building ma
terials particularly the ma
terials, entering into home
building led the nation into
the recession, will lead the
nation OUT of the recession.
THAT brings up a rather in
int siihipr-t.
The belief is rather gen
eral that lumber (along with
all building materials made
from trees) rose more star
tlingly in price than other
materials entering into con
struction. According to the
National, Lumber. Manufac
turers Association, that isn't
true. -
During the last decade, a
report recently issued by the
lumber association says, steel
on the wholesale level jump
ed 5 Vi times as much as lum
ber, clay products nearly 3
times as much and cement
2Vfc times as much.- -V '
In the decade ending with
1957, wholesale lumber cost
increase was Z6.Z per cent.
For structural steel, it was
127.8 per cent. '

The grain growers who sell

favors the secretary." v ,
Benson touched the same
theme in an interview with

Assistant Agriculture . Sec
retary Marvin L. McClain
told senators three weeks ago
that agriculture, long the
weakest spot in the U.S. econ
omy, "has been a source of
strength in the current reces
sion." Somewhat earlier, the
department predicted a hike
in egg prices at the farm dur
ing the next few months..
That is big political news
of itself because egg money
usually is a reward of tha
farm wife. When prices are
right she is likely to be hap
py, perhaps happy enough to
vote Republican.
Dairy farmers do not have
it as good as the corn-hog,

there are other, soft spots. It
all adds up, however, to some
good news for the Republi
