Editorial Comment
UNREASONABLE
OFF-LIMITS
Salem is not off limits to
Russians after all and Igor
Besrodni," concert violinist,
will be permitted to play at
Willamette University next
March 11. Original announce
ment that " Russians were
barred from Salem was a
mistake.
On top of this word from
the State Department this
week comes a New York dis
patch saying that Soviet pian
ist Vladimir Ashkenazy will
not be allowed to give a re
cital in Brooklyn, but will ap
pear twice in Manhattan this
month and next. He will not
play at Newark, N. J., either,
but he did play with the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra
in Washington, D.C., last
Tuesday and is scheduled to
perform in 17 U. S. cities in
all.
These bits of news demon
strate how utterly silly is the
State Department's declara
tion of Jan. 3, 1955, placing
certain areas of the United
States off limits to Russians.
The declaration lacks all
basis in reason, as is shown
by the fact that the State De
partment did "not know
whether it was safe or unsafe
for a Russian to view the Pio
neer on top of Oregon's
capitol.
By no stretch of logic can
it be argued that a Soviet cit
izen may safely play the
piano in Manhattan but not
in the neighboring borough
of Brooklyn. If it is all right
for him to appear in the capi
tal city of the United States,
why is it dangerous to permit
him to do soin Newark?
The State Department does
not pretend, of course, that
the off-limits ban is based on
logic. It is simply retaliation
for similar barring of Ameri
cans from certain parts of
Russia. It's a town-for-a-town
proposition. Since we profess
to have discarded tooth-for-a-tooth
rstribution in other
fields, why not abandon
town-for-a-town retaliation in
the cold war? The-fact that
the Soviet Union is unreason
able does not require that we
be the same. -Portland Ore

Among previous chairmen
have been such big names
in higher education as Conant
of Harvard, Morrill of Minne
sota, Case of Colgate, Hancher
of Iowa and Heald of New
York. Election to this position
confirms Mr. Wilson's place
in the front rank of American
educators.
It is proper that this should
be. Mr. Wilson's long-range
program for improvement of
this university has, wisely,
been to attract distinguished
educators to the faculty. He
believes a good faculty at
tracts more good faculty, and
that a good faculty is the es
sential ingredient in a great
university. Professors at the
University of Oregon can
know that the boss is setting
the pace. Eugene Register-Guard.
THE PACE SETTER
- Not to be underestimated is
the honor accorded the Uni
versity of Oregon's President,
O. Meredith Wilson, and the
university he serves. Mr. Wil
son was elected chairman of
the American Council on Edu
cation, the principal associa
tion of college administrators
in America. The, roster of the
council is the roster of Ameri
can higher education.

In Ihe Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Senator Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota takes issue with
President Eisenhower's desire
to remove foreign policy dis
cussions from political cam
paigns. In a press conference
at Los Angeles, he says:
"It seems to me that if we
were to follow the advice of
the President all the way, it
would mean that all who ex
press a different point of
view on foreign policy would
be hushed up."
He adds:
"Our country nearly in
volved itself in a Chinese
civil war by its Formosa
strait action ... To stake the
prestige of the United States
on the- defense of the Chinese
offshore islands is incredible
folly. Militarily it is precari
ous and diplomatically it is
indefensible."
I ALWAYS find it difficult
to agree with Senator
Humphrey, but on this partic
ular occasion he has a point.
The Formosa situation be
came critical in the midst of
a bitterly fought political
campaign. It came to a head
after the congress had ad
journed. NOTHING comes closer to
the lives of all the people
than foreign policy. Foreign
policy can represented the
difference between peace and
war. Since a nation's foreign
policy can represent the dif
ference between peace and
war, it follows that there are
two essentials of a successful
foreign policy:
1. It must be UNDER
STOOD by the people.
2. It must be SUPPORTED
by the people.
If the foreign policy of
their nation is to be under
stood by the people, it must
be hammered out on the anvil
of PUBLIC debate: N
IT MUST be agreed, I think,
that the floor of congress
is the ideal place to debate a
foreign policy that may result
in war. In a former congres
sional debate both sides df
the issue can be intelligently
and thoughtfully presented.
The people can listen and
form their own conclusions.
But 1
In this case
The congress had ad
journed. 'A political cam
paign was already well under
way. Even if the congress
had been called back intd ses
s i o n, the ensuing debate
would have been highly polit
ical in all of its aspects.

Usual Hue and Cry Against
Speculators Again in Evidence
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York-IPD-The usual
hue and cry against specula
tors that appear each time
there is a
m a r g i n in
crease is in
the air again.
One can
speculate i n
real estate, in
soybeans, in
'J diamonds, ; or
in paper cups
no one
Elmer Water says anything
about it. But when one spec-
ulates in stocks or bonds, the
politicians and other observ
ers make it sound like some
thing illegal or just plain
bad. -
All sorts of things are being
said about the people who re
cently speculated in govern
ment bonds and got their fin
gers burned.
. Now that margins have
been boosted to 90 per cent
by the Federal Reserve Board
there is talk that speculators
have been sending - stock
prices soaring to the detri
ment of the economy.
Wall Street points out that
Paul Butler I nvites
Anti-Civil Rights
Democrats To Quit
Washington-IUPD-The Demo
crats' smoldering civil rights
fight broke into the open to
day with a blunt invitation by
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler to anti
civil rights Democrats to quit
the party.
Butler said the racial issue
requires "moral leadership"
and predicted there will be
"no compromise" on a strong
civil rights stand in the Demo
crat platform in 1960.
"Those in the South who
are not - deeply dedicated to
the philosophies of the Demo
cratic Party will have to go
thefr own way," he declared.
. . . "If they don't want to go
along on the racial problem
and the whole area of human
rights, then I think they are
going to have to take political
asylum wherever they can
find it, either in the Republi
can Party or a third party. . .
Smaihers Raps Butler
"I would say anyone who is
unwilling to accept the plat
form of the Democratic Party
in 1960, and anyone who is
going to stand up in America
today and say we are going to
resist the decisions of the Su
preme Court, and we shall not
recognize the principles of
law and ' order upon which
this nation exists, then I cer
tainly would hope they would
take leave of the Democratic
Party. . ."
Sen. George A. Smathers
(D-Fla.), in charge of the cam
paign to elect Democratic sen-
About all that could be
done was to carry the debate
into the political hustings.
ator Nov. 4, promptly accused
Butler of dividing the Demo
cratic Party at a time when
its primary need is unity.
"I think the time has come
when the , chairman of the
Democratic National Commit
tee should start spending his
time pointing up the unity of
the Democratic Party rather
than its division," Smathers
told United Press Internation
al in an interview.
"A leader is supposed to
gather his forces, not divide
them. 'I think his (Butler's)
time would be better spent as
sisting our candidates to get
elected , than this continued
pontificating about what's go
ing to happen in 1960.
"What we need is unity, not
dividers. What we need are
peacemakers,, not agitators."
From other highly - placed
Democratic sources came the
suggestion that the time is
near at hand when Butler
snould be replaced by a na
tional chairman capable of
healing the Democrats' civil
rights split rather than in
flaming it. Some influential
Democratic quarters, notably
the party's congressional lead
ership, have made no secret
of the fact that they hold But
ler in something considerably
less than high esteem,
However, Butler's strong
civil rights stand will find
supporters also within the
Democratic Party. Some pow
erful Northern Democrats feel
their party must take an un
equivocal pro -civil,, rights
stand if it is to prevent further
loss of Negro votes - and cap
ture the presidency in 1960. '
little speculation can be done
with margins at 70 per cent
and practically none with
them at 90 per cent. The cur
rent market practically is on
a cash basis, these experts
assert.
Speculation Necessary ,
There still is speculation in
the market definition of the
word. Suppose someone buys
a non-dividend payer in the
hope the price will appreciate
and he can make a profit.
That's one form of specula
tion as opposed to investment
where one buys a stock for
income. Short selling also is
classed as speculation.
' i Both these types of specu
lation are considered highly
necessary for a liquid market.
The investor can find buyers
for a stock he wants to sell.
The speculator helps produce
activity . and' keep the market
in a narrow area.; Without
speculation, there might wefl
be very wide changes in price
between sales, it is pointed
out.
And those government
bond speculators did a big
service for the Treasury too,
according to Aubrey G. Lans
ton, dealer in governments
and head of the firm that
bears his name.
Helped Treasury Sales
Speaking , of Treasury fi
nancing over the past 15
months, he says:
"The Treasury invited the
speculators to underwrite its
offering of securities with a
term past one year and with
out a good dose of speculation
the Treasury would not have
been able to sell- the $26,
500,000,000 of such securities
that it sold during the 11
months ending last June."
He cites several other gov-
American Fliers
On Rait Sought
Agana, Guam - (UPD -Planes
and ships scoured the Pacific
155 miles west of Guam today
in search of three American
fliers on a life raft.
They were thought to be
crew members of a U.S." Navy
KJ2P plane downed with
what was believed to be a
crew of four.
A military rescue plane
sighted the life , raft Sunday
afternoon, but scanners only
had two or three seconds to
glimpse the raft. Earlier, a
commercial plane had spot
ted two flares in the area.
Navy officials were con
vinced that the men are still
afloat. They launched the big
gest around the clock search
of recent years in the area.
During the night planes
and ships watched for flares
and helicopters hovered with
powerful searchlights. How
ever,, the hunt was hampered
by rain and choppy seas and
more rain and wind was ex
pected. The Navy said the plane
was 'based on Guam, but did
not release the names of crew
members.
