Cenkffniai of Great Debates
Th historic? Lincoln-Douglas debates opened
in Chicago 100 years ago on July 9, 1858.
"I skill have my hands full," said Stephen
A. Douglas, Senator from Illinois, when informed
100 years ago of the nomination of Abraham
Lincoln to oppose his reelection. "He is the strong
man of his party full of wit, facts, dates and
tha best stumD sDeaker. with his droll ways and
tis dry jokes, in the West."
Nevertheless, . Douglas accepted " Lincoln's
challenge to joint debate, following a custom
of the times, and there ensued the fact-to-face
forensids that "set the prairies ablaze." There
wese to be seven meetings. Cannily, Douglas in
accepting stated that he would make the first
speech, seizing the opportunity to open and close
four out of the seven debates.
For all bis respect for Lincoln, Douglas prob
ably could not have known the debates would
destroy any chances he might have had to become
President. Douglas, probably the outstanding
Democrat in Congress, was an accomplished intel
lectual demagogue. William Starr Myers charac
terizes the "Little Giant" as "one of the shrewd
est, ablest, and most popular men of his time."
Lincoln, on the other hand, had been in politi
cal semiretirement for almost 10 years, emerging
to accept the Republican nomination for Senator
from Illinois with his famous "house divided"
address. For all his sincerity, he was awkward,
gawky, and slow of speech, with a high-pitched
voice that was not always pleasant.
'THE great debates began in Chicago on July 9,
1858; the seven encounters were held over a
55-day period into October. Both Douglas 'and
Linaoln despaired of the sectionalism that threat
ened to divide the Union. Douglas, who had been
mentioned for the Republicans well as the
Democratic nomination, declared that he intend
ed to remain a Democrat and wanted no "Black
Republican" support.
The discussions were all conducted on a high
and serious plane. Douglas stood on the Dred
Scott decision, which held unconstitutional the
Free Soil principle of no further extension of
slavery in the territories. But Douglas also was
the strongest exponent of "squatter": or terri
torial sovereignty. Lincoln directly challenged
him to reconcile these views. .
Douglas replied at Freeport in what was to
become known as the "Freeport Doctrine" that
Dred Scott stood, and that neither Congress nor
a territory could prohibit slavery expressly in a
territory. But "practically" slavery.could not exist
except by the support of local-police regulations.
Thus a territory might ban slavery as a practical
matter. . ' ,
THE doctrine was popular. Moreover, the dis-
sented in the legislature. Thus that body elected
Douglas Senator, 54 to 46, although the Lincoln
candidates actually had received a 4,000 plurality
in the popular vote.
But Lincoln, if he had lost the debate, was to
win the issue. Douglas' admission that the Dred
Scott decision could be contravened "practically"
antagonized his supporters in the South, while
his support of the decision riled Northern anti
slavery Democrats. The split was made formal
in the Democratic convention of 1860 when the
Southern delegates walked out. So Lincoln, run
ning as a Republican, easily defeated Democrat
Douglas and two others in 1860, though with
only a minority of the total popular vote. E.R.R.
Neighbor to the North
When President Eisenhower and Secretary
of State Dulles enter Canada Tuesday, July 8,
for a three-day visit, they will be in a land that
has recently undergone much the same economic
experience as its southern neighbor. That was
only to be expected in view of ther close economic
ties "between the two.
However, in Canada the recession started
several months earlier than in the United States
and also touched bottom several months earlier
(assuming the bottom here was reached in April).
Ia'fact, the Canadian economy seems already to
have set off on the upturn generally believed to
be just around the corner here.
JN CANADA also the government stimulated
ntw housing construction to support a lagging
tconomy. In Canada also higher social security
payments were relied on (in this country by mak
ing unemployment compensation available for a
longer period). In Canada also farm price sup
ports helped to bolster farmers' incomes and the
depression has put the government deep into
th red. '
Of course there are differences. One way
is -which the Canadian economy snapped out of
it wai'by increasing exports, including uranium
to the United States. There was more govern
ment pump-priming there than -here. And the
Canadian income tax rates were reduced.
JEven more striking are the differences be
tween the two countries politically. Mr. Eisen-
Aowtr'i Republican administration has admitted-

Matter of Fact r ms.,
BEHIND GOLDFINE: ROBBj
Washington The famous
Bernard Goldfine, the friend
of all the world, turned out
to look like a
Jewish version
of Mr. Pick
wick. That is
the role, more
over, which
Goldfine has
chosenfor
himself, or his
bat talions of
lawyers and
public rela
Joi-pb Alsop
tions men have chosen for
him. The type-casting is ad
mirable, for the Goldfine eyes
beam benevolence on all the
world; and when he is not
being benevolent he is be
ing innocently bewildered or
righteously outraged by the
sad cynicism of a wicked
world. -
At the outset then the plan
was to present Bernard Gold
fine as none other than good
Mr. Pickwick, at that awful
moment in his career when
the widow Bardell mistook
his genial warmth of nature
for something far more seri
ous. The hearings were in
tended to be a mere repeat
of the greatest breach of
promise suit in history, Bar
tell versus Pickwick. And the
same happy end was hoped
for the final proof to all
the world that Goldfine, like
Pickwick, was guilty of noth
ing but genial, natural
warmth.
FURTHERMORE, there real
ly is something warm and
human and likeable about
this energetic and resourceful
man, who began life in Amer
ica as a poor Russian immi
grant boy, made a large for
tune in a difficult industry,
and incidentally saved a few
New England towns from eco
nomic decay. You can see why
Sherman Adams and so many
others surrendered to Gold
fine. You have to pinch your
self, or you positively begin
to believe the Pickwick im
personation. But of course you do not
believe it. You cannot believe
it, because Mr. Pickwick
would not have collected use
ful politicians on both sides
of the party fence with Gold
fine's extreme industry and
astuteness. After all, Mr.
Pickwick's solitary involve
ment in politics in that ter
rible Eatanswill election,
showed none of the Goldfine
finesse.
Above all, Mr. Pickwick
might have paid Gov. Adams'
hotel bills. He might have
wrapped Adams in vicuna, he
might have provided Persia's
finest for the Adams' feet to
tread upon. But Mr. Pickwick
would not then have turned
around, and written down
these generosities as business
expenses for income tax pur
poses. rr IS easy enough to see how
the Goldfine charm and cal
culations almost chemically
combine with the New Eng
land parsimony of an Adams,
to produce the known results.
But if you want the explana
tion of the sharp national re
action to the Goldfine-Adams
story, you must look beyond
Goldfine-Pickwick on the wit
ness stand. You must look
to Roger. Robb, the lawyer
whom the White House com
manded Goldfine to hire.
Outwardly, Robb is a not
unimpressive fellow, with his
face in the clean-cut style
that is only beginning to be
self-revealing, as faces have
a sad way of doing. But Robb,
remember, was also the man
Adm. Louis Strauss hired to
prosecute Robert Oppenheim
er. Robb was the man who
skillfully' tidied out of sight
the ugly central fact of the
whole Oppenheimer case
the fact that Adm. Strauss
himself had seen every sig
nificant item of evidence
against Oppenheimer back in
1948, and had thereafter ap
proved Oppenheimer's securi
'
ty clearance with apparent
confidence.
ROBB is a good symbol, in
short, of the ugly ex
tremes of the past. Those ex
tremes were partisan in pur
pose, and those have today
returned to haunt the Repub
lican party, which so largely
benefited by them. Harry
Vaughan, for instance, was
hardly more than President
Truman's doorkeeper. And if
so much was made of Harry
Vaughan's loose-lipped, easy
going imprudences, then how
is nothing to be made of Sher
man Adams' thin-lipped, money-saving
imprudences?
There, of course, is the first
reason why this sorry busi
ness has been blown up to
such strange dimensions. But
there is a second reason too.
At the Goldfine hearings, one
almost has the feeling of par
ticipating in a Presidential
election, which is being set
tled by some such unfamiliar
method as trial by water,
k For Sherman Adams almost
is the President of the United
States,' where huge areas of
the government are concern
ed. And if the Goldfine hear
ings end badly for Sherman
Adams, then, no doubt, all
those areas of government
pass through much the same
experience as a . real, change
of president.

Washington Report
By William
Washington All the extra
ordinary and icy skill of Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
as the master
politician of
the Republi
can party is
being engag
ed by the
Sherman Ad
ams affair.
Few men
have less Tea
son to feel un-
wiuam s. wsite nappy at Ad
ams's troubles. It was Sher
man Adams, as assistant - to
the President, who shoulder
ed Nixon out of the way to
become for a time the acting
President when Eisenhower
had his heart attack.
And when Nixon himself
was in difficulties in 1952
over contributions from rich
backers, he was left alone to
work out his own rescue. No
body connected with Adams
wept for Nixon then.
The Vice President today
could repay the score hand
somely. He could, finish off
Adams's public career with a
single public sentence. Even
though the President himself
is still standing with his "im
prudent" assistant, this ar
rangement could not possibly
survive any strong, intima
tion of disapproval by Nixon.
ILREADY.the bulk of GOP
leaders are in the ''Ad
ams must go" school. If Nixon
should join that school, Ad
ams would go, indeed. Even
if the President should "then
insist that he stay on, his po
sition would be so intolerable
that he would have to make
an excuse to depart. .
Nevertheless, Nixon has
not turned on Adams. His in
tuitive smell of political reali
ty is far more acute than that
of either Adams or Eisen
hower. And it is because of his
acute political awareness that
Nixon is proceeding so care
fully. In a word, somebody
must save the GOP, to the ex
tent it can be saved, and he
is elected for the job.
The Vice President accord
ingly is not limiting his free
dom of action. He is not par

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmenn
THE CAPTIVE AMERICANS
With some 60 Americans
being detained in four differ
ent countries, there is a rath
er sour note in
the celebra
tion of the
Fourth of July.
The captives
are a sharp
reminder that
American pow
er and prestige
41 are no longer
Walter Lippmann W hat they
were in the
days when, if Americans were
held prisoner in time of peace,
there would have been a
thundering demand for their
release. What we have at the
present time is a loud declara
tion that we will not pay
blackmail for them combined
with the silent admission that
we shall not force their re
lease. TN each case the Americans
are being held in order to
induce the United States to
make a political concession.
For the nine members of
the crew of the helicopter
which strayed into East Ger
many, the Soviet government
and the Pankow government
are asking us to label our ne
gotiators as diplomatic agents
of the United States govern
ment. Though this would be
the merest formality, carrying
with it no real diplomatic re
lationship, the form of the
credentials of our agents is
supposed to be very import
ant. The Communists put a
high value on the f omula and
we, or perhaps Dr. Adenauer,
also put a high value on the
formula. In the meantime the
Americans are detained while
four governments, at Moscow,
at Pankow, at Bonn and at
Washington, quarrel about
the metaphysical problem of
recognition. .
rpHE next group of captives
consists of nine members
of the Air Force who lost
their way in a cargo plane.
They are being held, it an-
pears, to demonstrate, con
ceivably to make the United
States government admit,
that American planes are in
the habit of intruding upon
the air space of the Soviet
Union. This admission win not
be made, and the men will be
held, presumably until the So
viet government Bets tired of
keeping them. .
Four Americans are cap
tives in Red China, and thev

fense councils within the ad
ministration. Neither is so
powerful a Nixon associate as
William P. Rogers, the attor
ney general.
IIOGERS privately has made
it clear that he is -standing
apart as, indeed, in pro
priety he must as the chief
legal officer of the United
States and the occupant of a
semi-judicial post.
Nixon is under no such re
straints. His position of aloof
ness and that is what it is
is dictated by his necessities
as the outstanding Republi
can "pro."
These pros and most of all
Nixon as their leader have
their work cut out for them.
On the one hand, they must
limit Adams's damage to the
party as best they may. On
the other hand, in attempting
to extricate the party, they
must strive, too, somehow to
extricate the President him
self from his almost unlimit
ed commitment to Adams so
unlimited as to be highly un
wise politically.
In their difficult task, about
the best hope the pros have is
from an unlikely source the
very House committee that is
investigating Adams's' rela
tions with Bernard Goldfine.
Only if that committee should
fall on its face in the most
spectacular way a way that
would . outrage the country
and turn public sympathy
around toward Adams could
the Presidential assistant's po
sition be made at all tenable.
-
rTHERE is, of course, little
-- possibility that the com
mittee will be so foolish. True,
it seemed to be headed in the
direction of self-destruction in
the leeway granted to the anti-Adams,
anti-Goldfine wit
ness, John Fox of Boston.
Fox's obvious animus, with
its overtones of a new kind of
McCarthyism; did the com
mittee no good.
But the committee knows
as much and will be on guard
not to err again.
Thus, in summary, what is
most likely to happen is this:
Adams undoubtedly will go
along in his job for a while,
maybe even as long as two
months, assuming that fur-
Of,
They are pawns in the nego
tiations which, ' until they
were suspended, were being
carried on in Geneva between
an American Ambassador and
a Red Chinese Ambassador.
These negotiations may be re
sumed. But no one seems to
know what is the real price
for the release of the impris
oned Americans. The price is
probably high since the
Americans have been, so it is
said, convicted of crimes
under Chinese law.
And then, there are some
40 men, including three Cana
dians, who have been kid
naped in Eastern Cuba by
rebels under the command of
one of the Castro brothers.
Their ransom is the stoppage
of American military aid
which the rebels believe is
being given to the. Batista
government. The Cuban kid
napings are a guerrilla ver
sion of military reprisal, ana
logous in reverse to what hap
pened in former days, when
the gunboat of a great power
bombarded a town in a re
calcitrant small country.
THE Cuban affair is in
many ways the most sig
nificant because of the light
it throws upon the realities
and the limitations of military
power in this age. Here is a
small guerrilla army operat
ing in the mountains of East
ern Cuba. It has no common
frontier with a Communist
state. It is . part of an island
in waters under the absolute
naval control of the United
States. Moreover, the United
States has long had a mili
tary base right next to the
rebel territory. And yet the
rebels dare to kidnap over 40
North Americans, including
American soldiers, and to
hold them for ransom.
Yet hera w Sr with mir
nuclear weaDons. our Air
Force, our Navy and our
Army, somehow inhibited
from using, them even in
Cuba, even in the Inner re
gions of our sphere of-influ
ence. What does this mean? .It
means, -I venture to think,
that in our time there has
been not merely one revolu
tion in the nature-of warfare.
There have been two revolu
tions. The one, the obvious
revolution, is the tremendous
increase in the fire power of
the greatest - states. This is
what the Pentagon deals with
The other revolution is ' in
what might be called the poor
people's military technique.
It may be a passive resistance
as under Gandhi, or active
and violent, as in Algeria to
day or in Eastern Cuba.
HPHERE has been an immense
- amount of argument about
the big deterrents and the
conventional weapons, wea
pons which are not nuclear
but are designed for what
might be described as another
Korean war. But there is a
greater question than whether
in addition to the big deter
rents, there should also be
big "conventional" forces.
There is the question of how
to cope with guerrilla war.
For it is evident, I think,
that in the revolutionary con
dition of the modern world, in
all the softer spots of Asia,
Africa, and Latin America,
fighting is likely to take the
form not of overt war but of
the kind of smouldering war
which enables guerrilla lead
ers, like Castro or example, to
defy the might and majesty of
a great power like the U.S.A.

friends had to leave the table .
for a moment just as the time
came to" order dessert. She
told her mother, In no uncer
tain terms:
"I want a hot fudge sundae,
and if they don't have that, I
want a chocolate sundae, and
if they don't have that I want
chocolate ice cream, and if
they don't have that I want
vanilla ice cream, and if thev
don't have that I don't want
nothing!"
Small children have been,
and probably always will
be, inquisitive.
One rural resident, who
lives in a modern home, re
ports that she is always
rushing to her large picture
window when friends with .
children visit t h e m. It
seems the children, appar
ently not trusting modern
engineering, constant ly
want to test the strength
of the window by pounding
on it.
We saw something the other
day we have always wanted
to see. It concerned the post
office department, and a letter
postmarked in Grants Pass the
day before it was received in
Medford. Somewhere some
thing slipped up and the letter
was postmarked June 37,
1958. -
;: A staff member, not too
long ; ago, obtained a kit
ten, which has now grown
into a small cat. To protect
. it from traffic. ; neighbor
hood dogs, and ether dan
gers which might lake its
life, the woman of the fam
ily calls it home when it's
out in the evening.
Such occurred the other
evening, and in the back
ground she heard, in the
dear, still airt .
"There's that woman
calling her cat again." ; - 1
We know a party who re
cently had all his teeth out
and false ones installed imme
diately. Now this type of extraction
and installation can be un
comfortable, to say the least,
and for a hearty eater, a diet
of soups and mushy foods gets
old within a short time. So
it was with this party.
He was invited, and attend
ed, a dinner party in the val
ley last week, with his new
teeth, sore gums and a gen
erally uncomfortable mouth.
But he was determined to eat
some solid food, and djd eat
some. Prior to that, however,
in one of the preliminary
courses, he asked:
"Did you ever see a human
dynamo who can't bite a
cracker?" -
