Washington Report
By William S. White
lip
RISKS SUBSTANCE
Washington President Ei
senhower is risking the sub
stance of his critical last two
years l n t h e
White House
in trying to
become a
"give 'em
hell" politi
cian in the
campaign.
More over,
he is the
wrong man in
Williams White uiewiuuBwoi
at the wrong time and in the
wrong places. This is not real
ly his fight. First, it is not a
truly national election, but
only a series of highly mixed
local and regional contests on
issues more parochial than na
tional. Second, he owes noth
ing to the very GOP wing 'for
which he is turning himself
inside out in the evening of
his public career.
And even if it were his
fight, his tactics are not the
tactics that have won for him
the far greater fights he has
won in the past. Twice he
beat the Democrats by being
exactly what he is not being
now himself. He is not a
genuine partisan, and never
was. He is not a "regular"
Republican, and never was. He
is not even a politician as
he himself has often said
and never was.
It is not possible to say that
he is doing the Congressional
Republicans no good any
where. It may even be that
he has arrested here and there
what had seemed a pell-mell
rush to the Democrats.
IT IS NOT entirely clear,
however, that in highly
critical races he is doing Re
publican nominees more harm
than good in obediently but
not convincingly presenting
himself as a "tough" Repub
lican partisan flinging epithets
like "radical" at the Demo
crats. He is also gravely injuring
his own wing of his party
the "modern" or liberal Re
publicans.

PUnUCKER MUSIC HOUSE
111 North Central, Medford Phone SP 2-5702
All this is made perfectly
plain, for one illustration, in
New York. There, Nelson A.
Rockefeller, the modern Re
publican candidate for gover
nor, has publicly if politely
disavowed the President's at
tacks on Democratic "radi
cals." Mr. Rockefeller says
frankly that he wants to woo
rather than to drive away all
the Democrats he can which
is precisely what Mr. Eisen
hower dJd in twice rolling up
vast Presidential majorities.
The "new", Eisenhower is
bad news to the moderns, who
can live at all only with some
Democratic support and who
can have no national spokes
man of any real power after
the Eisenhower retirement in
1960 unless Mr. Rockefeller
wins now in New York.
AND THE ''new" Eisenhow
er is also bad news to the
I President himself in two ways:
It is creating unnecessary ani
mosities among the Congres
sional Democrats, who on the
voting record have often been
more useful to the President
than the Republicans. And
it is setting up a condition
in which the regulars will
control almost everything in
sight within the GOP once the
November spasm is passed.
Except for such possible is
lands as might be established
by la Rockefeller victory in
New York, the regulars will
have liquidated whatever is
left of the Eisenhower wing
before the new Congress is
two months old. They will
have done this regardless of
which party is then in control
there.
For the President, by heed
ing the regulars and staking
his prestige in a non-Presidential
campaign, has deeply
compromised the powerful in
dependent position he has
held so long in the GOP. He
is now only tryjng to do what
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon is doing and he is not
doing it nearly as well.
,
HE IS doing it badly for two
reasons: His heart is not
in it; and he is no Nixon on
the stump, just as he is no
Harry S. Truman. Nixon and
Truman can dish it out and
can take it. The President
canot do either very easily.
The image now being offered
of a "fighting" Eisenhower
simply won't go down. The
hard words are too often ac
companied by apologetic
smiles.
All the same, President Ei
senhower has adopted the line
of his junior, Nixon. Thus the
whole Republican national
leadership has been turned
over to the faction made up of
the orthodox Republicans, like
the vice president, and of the
out-and-out Old Guard, like
Senator Andrew F. Schoeppel
of Kansas, the Senatorial cam
paign head:
This faction has courage,
and, for the most part, candor.
It is, however, the faction that
lost five successive Presiden
tial elections for the Republi
cans beginning in 1932. And
it is the faction that tried to
reject General Eisenhower
himself at the 1952 conven
tion. And, for a final irony, the
President is now going all-out
to assist this faction to return
the Republican party to the
public image it had before he
came along to change it.

Questions, Answers on Vets
Loans Measure Are Reviewed
Great Britain's exports of
passenger automobiles
reached a record of 426,000 in
1957, an increase of 90,000
over the previous year.
Salem H. C. (Hub) Saal
feld, director of the state de
partment of veterans affairs,
last week announced some
"facts and figures" on the vet
erans loans measure on the
Nov. 4 election ballot.
He said there has been con
siderable misunderstanding of
somp of the provisions of the
proposal, and he provided the
information to set the record
straight.
His information, in question
and answer form, follows:
No Tax Lvy
Q. is there a tax levy in
volved in Measure No. 22?
An. There is no tax levy
or appropriation from the
General Fund involved in
Measure No. 2. The Oregon
veterans farm and home loan
program is self-sustaining and
makes a profit. In fact, the
profit from ,the program also
pays the expenses of the De
partment's Service Division
program of assistance to wid
ows, "orphans, hospitalization,
and disability compensation
cases which would have to
come from tax funds if it
were not for the earnings
from the loan program.
Q. Does Measure No. 2 in
crease the net State debt?
A. Nc Measure No. 2 does
not increase the net State
debt.
A look at the financial
statement of the State of Ore
gon on Sept. 1, 1958, will
show the outstanding bond ob
ligation of the veterans' farm
and home loan program as
$85,000,000, but on the asset
side it shows $91,824,954.92
A net gain to the State of Ore
gon of $6,824,954.92! This net
eain is expected to increase
by approximately $1,000,000
per year based on the present
operation and economic con
dition. -Self-Supporting
O. Is the veterans loan
program self-supporting?
A. Yes, it is entirely self-
sunDortinff and requires no
tax levy or appropriation. The
program has made a net op
erating revenue of $5,135,581
as of June 30, 1958, after pay
ing all administration costs,
interest on the bonds, and ex
penses of the service Division
of the Department.
Q. Is there sufficient mort
gage, money available to meet
the needs of the growing
State of Oregon? ..,
A. Unfortunately, Oregon
does not have large financial
centers like eastern states.
While Oregon lenders have
done a tremendous job in the
past with short supply of
mortgage money with the
State they are constantly
striving to attract eastern cap
ital to help out the serious
mortgage money shortage in
Oregon.
Farm, Home Loan
The Oregon veterans' farm
and home-loan program has
brought into the Oregon mort
gage pool more than $88,000,
000 and with this has made
over $138,000,000 in loans in
all counties of Oregon. During
the tight money period in 1957
the veterans' program was
called upon to lend over $39,
000,000 to bolster a sagging
economy and assist not only
veterans, but the lumber in
dustry, labor, builders, con
tractors, lenders, and all al
lied trades, industries and
businesses. Last year veterans
paid more than $2,000,000 in
taxes to help the Oregon tax
payer. The demands on the Oregon
veterans' Home and Farm
Loan Program have been his
torically inversely proportion
al to the amount of mortgage
money available from private
sources-when money is tight
the demand on the program is
great, and when mortgage

money is available, demand
falls off.
There are a number of areas
in the State where there is
almost no mortgage money
available. -"
Sufficient Money
Q. IsnH there sufficient
mortgage money available un
der the Federal GI Program?
A. No, for the reasons ex
plained above. The Federal
Government does not loan
money direct, but ony guaran
tees a portion of the loan
made by a private lender.
Q. Could the Multnomah
county assessor lower your
bonding authority next year?
A. Yes. Although the recent
increase in assessed valuation
gave the program an addition
al 869,000,000 in bonding
authority, the demand is so
great that this will be used
up shortly after the end of
next year.
The Oregon Journal said on
October 7, 1958: ". . . the
windfall of 869,000,000 in
bonding authority realized
from the Wiley Smith stunt
may be taken away in whole
or in part by next fall, after
a new Multnomah county as
sessor is elected, or any time
thereafter an assessor decides
to reduce the ratio. One candi
date already is committed to
revert to the previous ratio
if he's elected."
If the above happens and
Measure No. 2 fails to pass,
it will be approxiamtely 1967
before the program could is
sue any more bonds to make
mortgage money available to
help the economy of the State
of Oregon.
New Cattle Group
May Be Proposed
Redmond -(UPD- Secretary
of the Oregon Cattlemen's as
sociation, Ed Coles, indicated
Friday that an Oregon Cattle
Feeders association may be
proposed at the OCA's fall
meeting Oct. 30 to Nov. 2.
He said there appears to be
a great deal of interest in
forming an organization that
would be an affiliation of the
OCA but remain a separate
group instead of a standing
committee. '
Edgar C. Reir, a Washing
ton state county extension
agent who helped . organize
the Washington Feeders as
sociation, will explain the
value of such a group at Fri
day's meeting at the Redmond
National guard armory here.
