Klamath Indian reservation
has passed both houses of con
gress. The house version of it
differs from the senate ver
sion. The senate bill provides
that sustained yield manage
ment must be observed by
any purchaser of reservation
timber lands for 100 years.
The language of the house
bill stipulates that the pur
chaser must "agree to manage
the forest lands as far as prac
ticable so as to furnish a con
tinqus supply of timber."
The two bills must now go
to a joint conference commit
tee composed of members of
both houses of the congress.
The job of ?;his committee is
to reconcile the differences
between the two bills. If and
when this is accomplished, the
compromise bill must then go
back to both house and sen
ate. It must be accepted by
both houses and signed by
the President before it be
comes law.
It can be assumed that if
the conferees reach an agree
ment the bill will receive ap
proval in both house and sen
ate. It is a reasonable assump
tion that it will then be signed
by the President.
THE important point is that
the bill didn't get caught
in the adjournment jam that
so often develops in the final
days of a session of the con
gress. In that event, it would have
died, and the reservation tim
ber would have had to be dis
posed of under the provisins

unfavorable market condi
tions, could have resulted in

was unreasoningly inflated in
the Middle East crisis of 1956
There are beginning to be
ominous parallels witn tne
last two years of the Truman
administration, i Then, unre-
troops who had been sent to
Beirut, the capital, in re
sponse to Chamoun's plea that
the rebels were receiving aid
from President Gamal Nas
ser's United Arab Republic
The collapse of the rebel
lion removed all sense of
urgency from the negotiations
for a "summit" conference on
the Middle East.
Soviet Premier Nikita S
Khrushchev had demanded
the conference on the ground
the landing of American
troops in Lebanon, and of
British troops in neighboring
Jordan, threatened to explode
into World War III.
The summit negotiations
continued in a tedious succes
sion of exchanges between the
United States, Great Britain
and France on one hand and
Russia on the other.
The negotiations were
marked by bickering which
seemed an unhappy augury
for any coi'.ravance.
Conference Probable
But it appeared likely that
a conference would be held
on the Middle Eastern situa
tion as a whole.
The American- and British
troops were sent to Lebanon
and Jordan when a savage,
lightning-swift rebellion over
threw King Faisal of Iraq.
Chamoun, Faisal and King
Hussein of Jordan were three
outstanding friends of the
West. They had won the bit
ter hatred of Nasser because
they were obstacles to his aim
of making himself master of
the Arab world."
It was feared that, with
Faisal murdered both Leban
on and Jordan might, like
Iraq, fall into Nasser's sphere
of dominance.
The immediate Allied prob
lem was to get Chehab into
the Lebanese presidential
chair in place of Chamoun
as soon as possible, and to try
to strengthen both Lebanon
and Jordan against subversion
by pro-Nasser elements.
Hope For Best
As for Iraq, all that could
be done was to hope that its
new leaders would preserve
their country's independence
and would not join Nasser's
United Arab Republic.
Western governments start

gime.
The Iraqi revolt threatened
to wreck the Middle Eastern

strained attacks upon the
White House all but destroy
ed Presidential power to
move rationally in the Korean
conflict.
Now, similar attacks upon
President Eisenhower are
limiting his ability to act,
with any sure confidence, for
American interests in the
Middle East. The really vital
question now is not whether
the President is going to move
wisely; it is whether he is go
ing to be able to move at all.
A LL this is the judgment not
simply of one Washington
columnist but also of the sen
lor and most responsible
members of the President's
responsible opposition,- the
Democratic party.
These Democrats are far
from enchanted with the Pres
ident. They have every deter
mination to wrest the White
House from the Republicans
They prefer, however, to run
the campaign of 1960 in 1960
and not now, in 1958 and in
the middle of a world crisis.
Privately they make no se
cret of their fear that the
country itself is being endan
gered by something approach
ing a hysterical repudiation of
the proper powers of 'the
Presidential office.
They would say precisely
the same thing in public
even in Macy's window, as
the saying goes but for their
awareness that this would on
ly' heighten the destructive
clamor they are hoping some
how to quiet.
They are the first to point
out that the administration
has, indeed, made many grave
blunders.' They are the first
to say that the public disillu-'
sionment now beating about
the President is the inevitable
reaction from the extreme
public adulation of the- past
so carefully fostered by his
backers. For the man who is
given credit for the sunshine
will later be blamed for the
rain.
TUT, having said all these
things, these Democrats
have other things to say. And
some of them are:
That many critics of the
President's intervention in
the Middle East properly
stress its awkwardness and
danger but forget that but for
this intervention an admitted
ly bad situation would be far
worse. For one thing, Leba
non and Jordan . would be
gone, too, and with them the
last hope of keeping Turkey's
20-odd divisions effectively in
the Western alliance.
That in times of national
peril there are two kinds of
criticism one being con
structive and needed and the
other merely panicky and
harmful and, though entirely
constitutional, entirely' un
wise for persons holding high
responsibilities.
That in foreign affairs
there can be only one Presi-:
dent of the United States at
a time good, bad, or indif
ferent and one voice for this
country abroad.
That the present President
of the United States is still
going to be President of the
United States until January,
1961.
THAT since this is incontest
ably so, no matterhow in
ept his notes to the Kremlin
may sound to some, it will
surely do little good toNhack
him down in the eyes of the
outer world by presenting the
spectacle of the most articu
late part of a whole country
up in arms against him.
This is why the 85th Con
gress, which is in control of
the opposition party, is draw
ing so quietly, almost sedate
ly, toward its close. Wisely or
not, its leaders are not now
interested in fighting the
President on his own properj
constitutional terrain.
At this point they are re
solved to create no human
break with the President
whatever his mistakes or his
weaknesses so wide and so
bitter as was created by the
Republicans in Congress when
President Truman (and the
United States of America)
was desperately engaged in
Korea.

ROAST
Knowland
Refuses to
For Campaign Trail
By LYLE C. WILSON
UPI Correspondent
Washington (UPD Sen
William F. Knowland is griev
ing some of his good friends
by standing
pat on his rep
utation of be
ing a man
who knows his
own mind and
who cannot be
swayed.
Th at is a
friendly way
of stating that
Lvle C. Wilson Olll Mowiana
is a stubborn man. He is being
stubborn right now in refus
ing to abandon his seat in the
U. S. Senate and his position
of Republican leader to under
take an all-out campaign for
Governor of California.
The word around Capitol
Hill and in the National Press
Cub, where recent visitors to
Caifornia sometimes get to
gether, is that the Republican
Party is headed for a classic
defeat in California next No
vember. Knowland, especially,
is noted by those who discuss
California polticis as the Re
publican candidate who is in
the most trouble and who
needs to go home and cam
paign hardest.
Knowland Stays On
To suggestions and pleas
that he leave Washington for
the California hustings, Know-
land replies with a smile or a
steely "No!" Congress will be
in session until mid-August or
later and Knowland evidently
intends to stick it out, regard-
ess.
Knowland is back home in
California this week end for
a state GOP convention Sat
urday and a state central com
mittee meeting Sunday. But,
in keeping with his stubborn
determination,' he , won't be
making any campaign talks.
This deeply troubles Repub
lican politicos. For example:
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, a -Calif ornian, aspires
to tne i960 Republican presi
dential nomination. To main
tain the desirable, tidy home
base from which to seek such
distinction, Nixon requires a
strong Republican Party in
his home state.
Instead of tidy, the Repub
lican Party in California after
this year's election is more
likely to look like it had been
chewed up by bears. Edmund
G. Pat Brown is the Demo
cratic candidate for governor.
He polled 2,181,000 votes in
the June primary to 1,575,000
for Knowland. They cross-
filed, as is the California cus
tom, so that it was possible to
vote for Knowland and Brown
in both the Republican and
Democratic primaries.
Significant Margin
This cross-filing -system
made the contest more like an
election than a primary. The
margin between the aggregate
of votes polled by each candi
date demonstrates that Brown
has a long lead which only
good breaks and a hard, effec
tive campaign by Knowland
could overcome.
Republicans are otherwise
dismayed by the prospect of
California voting a Democrat,
ic administration into state of
fice. The state is on a popula
tion binge. California is tied
for second now with Pennsyl
vania in the number of elec
toral votes to which it is en
titled 32 each. New York is
first with 45.
The census bureau estimat
ed this week that the 1960
census would give California
seven additional seats in the
U. S. House of representatives.
California's electoral votes
would increase by the same
number to 39. Increases in
House membership and in the
electoral college would not be
effective until the election of
1962. Consider the good Dem
ocratic prospects in this year's
election, however, in relation
to the prospective swelling of
California's political trend.
That trend is against the
needed to work intimately
and in mutual toleration with
the President before we have
crossed the long and shaky
bridge upon which we stand.

Wants "Whole Story"
To the Editor: I read with
interest your editorial on
postage increase in Monday's
paper. I have been tempted
to. write ever since all the hub-,
bub and hurrah over the most
recent raise. : '
I am not against the raise,
evidently our congress thinks
it is necessary. However I am
wondering why you and most
all other newspaper men fail
to follow through with your
talk of the increase. Why do
you not continue and tell
John Q. Public , how much
newspapers, magazines, peri
odicals and just plain junk
have been raised? Do it on a
percentage and time basis and
see how" little they pay in
comparison to first class maiL
Everyone knows and feels
the increase in first class and
parcel post rates, but I am
willing to venture that not 15
per cent of the general public
realizes how little postage is
paid on the other classes of
mail. And it receives practi
cally the same good service
that first class mail receives.
If Congress, government
agencies, second and third
class mail paid their .fair
share, the postoffice depart
ment would be much more
self sufficient. Why can't
we have the whole story? .
