The Silly Season
The silly season is upon us.
The election campaign in Oregon, which has
been pretty quiet up to now, is beginning to warm
up. And part of the warming-up process, inevit-
aoiy, is the Hinging of charges and counter
charges by opposing candidates.
This effect has been most noticeable in the
race for governor, and for congress in the first
and fourth districts. It hasn t yet penetrated -to
the more localized races, at least insofar as we've
been able to discern.
TMOST of these charges are pure political fluff.
A few of them may be of substance.
Mark Hatfield and Bob Holmes, the Repub
lican and Democratic candidates for governor,
have been tossing brick
more than a week now,
sounds remarkably like two small boys, squared
off in the comer of the school-yard, yelling
"You're a such-and-such!!" and "You're anoth
er!" at each other.
The fact is that neither of the candidates have
as yet developed any real issue. Both are basical
ly decent, friendly men ; both are intelligent;
both are of a liberal cast of mind. It's too bad they
can't find something more worthwhile to argue
about than campaign tactics.
It s a disappointing
COME small amount of political noise has been
issuing from the first district, where Con
gressman Walter Norblad,. the veteran Republi
can incumbent, is in a race with Democratic At
torney General Robert Y. Thornton for the con
gressional seat.
The loudest blast heard so far has been
Thornton accusing Norblad of violating security
when he told a women's group about the X-15,
the proposed new American man-carrying space
rocket. This was promptly refuted by Norblad,
with a strong assist from some supporting news
papers, by pointing out that what he had said had
all been widely publicized throughout the coun
try for the past many months.
Maybe some other issues have come to light
in the first district, but if so, we've not been
made aware of them. .
IN THE fourth district, Congressman Charlie
Porter has been making the rounds of open
houses, coffee hours, mills, and pounding the
streets, telling his constituents that he wants to
be reelected on the basis of his record. .
His opponent, Paul Geddes, has been mak
ing the same rounds telling the voters he wants
to be elected, and bases his case largely on Por
ter's record.
But they can't be talking about the same rec
ord. Porter is talking about what he believes in
and what he has done,
ing aboutwhat he seems
and has done.
Somebody's wrong.
DORTER happens to believe that Red China
should be recognized as an existing, operat
ing government (which it is) by this country. He
extends no hand of friendship, but he believes
that we are being blind by trying.to pretend that
if we don't recognize that nation, maybe it. will
go away.
Geddes has twisted
fectly logical and supportable, whether or not
one'agrees with it; to make it sound as though
-r-v n , ,1 -il y-1 J.
f orter is mendiy to the Chinese ommumsi re
gime something which "just ain't so."
Porter has called for an end to testing H
bombs a position supported by many scientists
and other thoughtful men
sia agrees to do the same. Geddes has charged
he (Porter) has advocated ending them with no
assurance that Russia would do likewise an
assertion which is, at best, based on misinforma
tion.
Porter voted against the so-called "omnibus
farm bill" on the floor of congress, but voted for
a "rule" to permit the bill to be brought to the
floor, on the grounds that the house as a whole
should have the chance to debate it and vote on
it. Geddes has charged him, incorrectly, with
voting for the bill which speaks-poorly of his
understanding of congressional procedures.
"THESE are samples of what's going on in the
. fourth district congressional race. There are
others.
Up to this point, we think Porter has all the
best of it. He .has signed the non-partisan fair
campaign practices code, and called upon Ged
des to do likewise. And he has pointed out nine
instances, some of them mentioned above, where
he believes Geddes has already violated the ban
on using misrepresentation, distortion or other
falsification.
Geddes' strongest point, so far,- is his claim
that he would devote his time to representing the
fourth district, and, in effect, would let others
worry about the questions of war and peace, of
diplomacy and our relationships to the other na
tions of the world.
9
IF HE means what he says, he is promising to
neglect one of the most important duties of
a congressman. For what issues are of more im
portance in these troubled times?
And his allegation that Porter has neglected
the district won't hold water, either. Porter's ac
complishments, his interest in all phases of the
economy of the district, his aggressive and effec
tive work on its behalf, all can be documented
and proven.
Thus is our thesis for the day substantiated:
The silly season is upon us. E.A.
- bats at each other for
and from this distance it
show, so far.
and Geddes keeps talk
to think Porter believes
this stand, which is per

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
MR. NIXON'S SHOCK '
On Saturday, Mr. Nixon is
sued a statement saying that
he had been shocked when he
read the morning papers.
There had
been a news
story carry
ing the infor
mation that
out of about
5,000 letters
r e c e ived at
the State De
partment, 80
per cent were
Walter
Lippmann
critical of the
Administration's policy at
Quemoy and Matsu. Mr. Nix
on was shocked because there
was so much opposition and
he was even more shocked
that the bad news had been
published.
In fact, he was so shocked
at the publication of the news
that he promptly accused the
subordinate official who gave
it to a reporter of a "patent
and deliberate effort . . . to
sabotage" the policy of the
Secretary of State.
TVHIS is a very serious
charge, and it is one which
cannot be passed over light
ly. For here we . have the
Vice President denouncing as
sabotage what was in fact a
truthful answer to a legiti
mate question asked by a re
sponsible reporter in the
course of quite normal and
standard newspaper practice.
On questions of wide public
interest it is a very common
practice of the American
press to ask the White House,
the Departments, and the
members of Congress what
their mail shows about pub
lic opinion. Yet suddenly Mr.
Nixon professes to be so
shocked at such a news story
that he can think of no ex
planation except to accuse a
helpless official of what,
were there any truth in the
accusation, would be a high
crime against his country.
So we must ask whether
Mr. Nixon presumes to say
that the reporter had no right
to ask the question about the
State Department's mail. He
will not presume to say that.
Then what does he think was
the duty of the State Depart
ment official? Should the of
ficial have refused to answer
the reporter's question? Or
should he have lied to him?
Mr. Nixon must not make
such reckless and unfounded
accusations against innocent
men. They are a reminder
that there is still with us the
old Nixon, whom the new
Nixon is supposed to have
outgrown. For it was the
practice of the old Nixon to
imply that those with whom
he did not agree were on the
verge of treason.
AN THE substance, it is, of
" course, true that foreign
policy cannot and should not
be conducted by counting the
letters which reach the gov
ernment. It is true that the
right policy is often unpopu
lar and that governments
which let themselves be gov
erned by opinion polls are
weak and are very often
wrong. But it may also be
true that the policy of the
aovernment is wrong and
that those who criticize and
oppose it had better be lis
tened to respectfully and
carefully. That happens to be
trr this case. For no one
ca. etend that the Admin
istration has so clear a policy
on the offshore islands that
the policy is not open to genu
ine debate.
The policy is, in fact, not
yet determined and in the
country, especially among
the informed and experienced
in foreign affairs, the debate
is proceeding. All the signs
point to a mounting convic
tion that the Administration
has blundered into trouble,
and that it needs help to ex
tricate itself. Mr. Nixon says
that "what is at stake ... is
the whole free world posi
tion in the Far East." That
may be true. But if the whole
free world position in the
Far East has come to be at
stake in Quemoy, then they
have much to answer for to
the American people and at
the bar of history who al
lowed the whole free world
position to be staked on so
absurd a thing as the offshore
islands.
TF WE look beyond the an-
A gry words which are being
exchanged, the actual situa
tion has for the moment at
least been stabilized. There
is no evidence that the Com
munists mean to invade Que
moy. There is good evidence
that we do not mean to allow
Chiang to draw us into an
attack upon the mainland
Our immediate policy is to
help Chiang run the block
ade.' which probably means
that there will be no decision
at Quemoy for some time to
come. Thus there is going to
be time for mediation to
work.
If so, there is also going to
be time for a debate in this
country on whether and how
our China policy should be
revised. The debate will turn
first of all on how to disen
gage Chiang's army and our
selves fronv the oiisnore is
lands, and then on what is to
be the future of Formosa,
once our military and politi
cal commitments have been
reduced to Formosa itself and
the Pescadores.
As Formosa is invulnerable
to military conquest by the
Red Chinese, as it can be
taken only by a coup from
within, the problem of For
mosa unlike the problem of
Quemoy is a political prob
lem. It is a problem not for
the United States alone but
for the whole international
community.

Editorial Comment
LEGAL KILLING COSTLY
Most callous and one of the
most questionable arguments
advanced by supporters of
capital punishment is that it
is cheap: A convict can be
dispatched neatly for a few
dollars cost t o the s,t a t e
whereas his board and room
in prison costs taxpayers more
than $1,000 a year.
A logical extension of this
argument is, of course, that
penal costs would be even
cheaper if more crimes were
covered by the death penalty
But no responsible body of
citizens is seriously advocat
ing such an economy meas
ure.
Actually, there is irrefut
able evidence that application
of the death penalty is an ex
pensive business. A death
sentence invariably results in
a series of appeals, for which
the state must pay its share.
It has already cost the State
of California several hundred
thousands of dollars in a vain
attempt to bring Caryl Chess
man to execution. A cell block
full of prisoners could be
maintained for. years on a
comparable amount.
The cost of administering
death penalty also appeals to
the accused, who must finance
appeals. Thus, the rich or tal
ented, like Chessman, are fav
ored. This is one reason why
famed criminologist who is
well known in Portland, has
written: "Until capital pun
ishment is abolished, there is
little hope of even-handed
justice in murder trials."

Little Difficulty Foreseen
In U.S.-Japan Treaty Talks
By EARNEST
HOBERECHT
UPI Correspondent
Tokyo -(DPD- The United
States anticipates no really
great difficulty in negotia
ting a new mutual defense
treaty . with Japan and the
first formal exploratory talks
will begin here within a few
days, authoritative sources
told United Press Internation
al today.
It is expected the old se
curity treaty signed Sept. 8,
1951, will be replaced by a
completely new document.
Matter of Fact by
QUEMOY REALITIES
.Taipei, Formosa - It is en
couraging to see Quemoy for
yourself, as this reporter has
just done,
simply be
cause the re
ality looks
better than
the statistics.
There is
nothing wrong
with the sta
t i s t i c s. The
Chinese Com
munists have
more than a
lostph Alsop
indeed fired
third of a million shells into
Quemoy and its dependent
smaller islands. A largely
effective artillery blockade of
Quemoy has indeed been es
tablished by heavy bar
rages on the landing beaches.
The Quemoy garrison and
population are indeed being
supplied by mere limited
blockade running; and the
Quemoy position cannot be
indefinitely defended in this
manner. ,
But when you actually see
Quemoy and its defenders,
you learn two additional facts
of cardinal importance. In
the first place, in startling
contrast to their performance
in Korea, the Chinese Commu
nists have thus far done a
pretty miserable job with the
military means at their dis
posal. And for just this rea
son, in the second place, the
problem of Quemoy is not
quite so urgent as one might
suppose.
THE poorness of the Com
m u n i s t performance in
this fighting has been both
startling and mystifying. The
most dramatically bad show
ing has of course been in the
air. The Communist air force
outnumbers the Nationalist
air force by very nearly five
to one. The MIG-17s that the
Communists chiefly rely on
are also at least marginally
better aircraft than the F-86s
which the Nationalists have
sent up against them. By any
reasonable standard, the
Communists ought to have
been able to count on smash
ing victories in the air.
Instead, the crack National
ist pilots have inflicted a
series of really dramatically
humiliating defeats on the
Communists. There have been
three major and several minor
air battles thus far. In all, the
Communists have lost 25 air
craft certainly and seven or
eight more probably, as prov
en by American study of the
gun cameras' photographs.
The Nationalists have mean
while lost two aircraft in
combat. In other words, the
confirmed loss ratio has been
close to 15 to 1.
WHERE has been nothing ac-
cidental about this really
staggering loss ratio, either.
It has been consistently main
tained. While this reporter
was still on Quemoy, the Com
munist air commander made
a desperate effort to retrieve
himself, sending up 100 MIG-
17s against only 36 Nationalist
F-86s. The result ' was the
biggest Communist air defeat
to date.
As a practical matter, these
Nationalist air victories do
not directly encourage Que
moy's defenders we on Que
moy had no idea that a wild
air fight was going on several
miles above our heads. But
they have to be thought about
in connection with a related
factor in the situation. Despite
the immense weight of metal
thrown, the Communist artil
lery- has also been pretty
wretched until now.
You might suppose that
very small islands which have
received something like 100,-
000 tons of shells in about a
month's time would show the
effects rather gravely. More
than half of the enemy fire
has fallen on Little Quemoy
and the two really tiny is
lands, Ta Tan and Erh Tan.
Allowance has to be made
for the much heavier damage
suffered by these positions
which no reporter has yet
been able to see at first hand.
But even after making this
needful allowance, no visitor
to Big Quemoy can feel very
much respect for the Commu
nist gunners.
TVHE physical damage they
J- have done is negligible,
mainly because they have
been using airburst and super.-quick-fused
shells. The casu-
This is the Japanese desire,
and it was understood the Am
ericans wiU approach the
problem from that angle.-
U. S. Ambassador to Japan
Douglas MacArthur II will
head the American negotia
ting team in the talks with
Japanese Prime Minister No
busuke Kishi and Japanese
Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fu
jiyama. Has Special Problems
UPI was told the United
States will seek to work out
a new treaty instrument be
tween Japan and the United
Joseph Alsop
alties are very small in com
parison to the enormous num
bers of anti - personnel shells
fired. The one solid accom
plishment has been the ar
tillery blockade of the beach
es. And although this artillery
blockade has become the key
feature of the whole problem,
it is still not tight enough so
that the blockade cannot be
run by the resolute National
ist Marines in their small am
phibious landing craft.
The reasons for the aston
ishing decline in the Commu
nist military performance
since Korea are really any
one's guess. This reporter
Tvould guess that this remark
able phenomenon has two
causes. First, there are many
reasons, convincing to anyone
not absolutely stultified by
the odd mystique of Chinese
Communism, for suspecting
the existence of a moral-political
crisis inside China. This
would be automatically re
flected in the armed forces.
There are signs that confirm
this suspicion, too. Quite pos
sibly, for instance, the Com
munist pilots are ill-trained
because they are not trusted
with enough fuel for long
flights.
Second, the Peiping leaders
evidently went into the Que
moy fighting as Stalin went
into Finland, with delusions
of invincibility. The pattern
of the fighting suggests that
they even hoped Quemoy
would go down like the walls
of Jericho, at the sound of
the first great artillery bar
rage.
NONE of these encouraging

ment that the Quemoy prob
lem is not desperately dan
gerous. The distribution of
Communist artillery fire olain-
ly suggests a possible landing
attempt, either on Little Que
moy or the Tan islands. Even
if the American policy mak
ers hesitate, such an attempt

widened war; for the Nation-
alists will then send all their
air power against the main
land targets which they have
not hit as yet.
urthermore, t the Commu
nist artillery blockade is
bound to produce the desired
result in the end, all by itself,
and even if blockade - run
ning is much improved, a
blockaded position under fire
cannot be held forever bv
men who have no means to
fight back. But the fact that
the Communists have done a
poor job, so far, at least
means that the garrison can
be relied on to hold Quemoy
much longer than the statis
tics suggest. -
The leaders of Chiang Kai-
shek's government have been
talking of using their air pow
er to the utmost within no
more than a fortnight. But a
full month can probably be
allowed, with reasonable pru
dence, for diplomacy and ex
perience to convince the Pei
ping government of the un
wisdom of persisting in its
Quemoy venture.

with its other allies. But at
the same time, the Americans
will take into' consideration
Japan's special ' problems,
such as her post-war consti
tution which is interpreted as
prohibiting the stationing of
Japanese troops abroad.
The Americans were said
to feel it will take some time
to reach agreement on all de
tails of the ' new treaty but
were described as approach
ing the . talks .with an open
mind and a desire to achieve
results which recognize the
equality and partnership of
the two countries.
The Japanese have not yet
given the Americans any de
tails of what they want in
the new treaty, the sources
told United Press Internation
al. Grounds Recognized
They stressed there was no
connection between these
treaty talks and the current
Formosan crisis.
Neither, they said, is the
remission of the treaty con
nected with the Japanese re
armament problem.
The United States has not
attached any conditions
such as speedier development
of the Japanese defense forc
es as a basis for consider
ing the new treaty, United
Press International was told.
The Americans recognize
Japan has grounds for want
ing to revise or replace the
old treaty, the sources said.
They pointed out, for one
thing, the . present treaty ac
tually does not obligate the
United States to defend Ja
pan. Of course, they said, the
United States had troops
here and would have defend
ed Japan if Japan were at
tacked. -

Gold "Nuggets' ?
To the Editor: Here are
"nuggets" for the scrap book
collector.
Gold is one of the first pre
cious metals mentioned in the
Bible. The ' records indicate
that gold has been known to
mankind since before 9,000
B.C.
There is not a month of the
year that someone throughout
the wide world is not search
ing somewhere for the stuff.
Nearly all nations in the
world have produced some
gold, or trace of gold, at least.
Alluvial gold has been found
in ancient glaciers. While all
races have recognized the in
trinsic value since' time im
memorial; the priests of Tibet
and Nepal used the precious
metal for roofs on their mon
asteries.
It has been said that gold is
one of the most elusive me
tals. A native of Arabia who
once owned a beautiful horse,
'tis said, refused to sell, his
horse after being offered its
weight in gold, for he rea
soned he could not carry the
burden away in the desert,
without his horse again.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Far East stuff:
Secretary Dulles tells the
reporters at a news confer
ence he would be willing to
meet with Red Chinese Pre
mier Chou En-Lai if there
were reason to believe some
thing could be achieved to
ward solving the Formosa
crisis. But, he said, he doubts
the wisdom of such a move
now.
Then
He added
. He sees IMPROVEMENT in
the crisis over the past two
weeks, and believes the like
lihood of open warfare has
diminished.
AS TO Dulles, ,.he is either
"stubborn or he is confident.
Let's give him the benefit
of the doubt. I think the na
tion's postmen, who are sup
posed to have a lot of ex
perience with canines, will
agree that the only way to
handle a menacing dog is to
betray no signs of fear.
We must at least remember
that the President of the Unit
ed States and his secretary
of state have available intel
ligence reports that the rest
of us do not have. Decisions,
if they are to be right, must
be based on accurate informa
tion. It must be presumed that
the information upon which
the responsible officers of our
government are acting is such
as to justify the course they
are following.
BUT this, I think, should be
added:
There have been intima
tions from Washington that of
ficials of our government feel
that the American people are
not backing the administra
tion as strongly as they should
in this Formosa straits busi
ness. We DON'T want to weaken
the hands of our government.
But
We know how we feel. We
know we don't want to go to '
war over a couple of little
islands that are within gun
shot of the Chinese mainland
and therefore, by long inter
national custom, may be re
garded as a part of a main
land China. Nor do we want
to go to war to back a chim
erical drive by the Chinese
Nationalists to reconquer the
mainland.
' I have a rather strong feel
irtg that under such circum
stances the American peop"?
should let their feeling be
known.
THERE is another interesting
tale in the news.
It seems that the Chinese
Nationalist fighter pilots have
been using American Side
winder air-to-air missiles ' in
their aerial dogfights with the
Red Chinese pilots. Russia
comes through today with an
excited protest that if that
goes on the devil can be to
pay. The inference is that our
Sidewinders are pretty hot
stuff.
Hmmmmm.

Mayport, Fla. -UPD- The
aircraft carrier Saratoga ar
rived back at its home base
here Wednesday after an
eight-month tour of the Med
iterranean. county roads in the cab of my
truck. I consider it a duty of
yours to do something about
roads such as these. A little
pressure from your paper, in
the right places would work
wonders.
After the shakeup you'd get
on the aforesaid ride I'm sure
you'd agree with me.
