Robert Smith Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington If the next two years of the forthcoming 86th Congress become a battle between the E i s enhower a d m i nistra tion and what the president callst he "spenders" of the D e m o- cratic party, then w e stern 1 a w m akers 0obt. smitfe seem do una vo be in the thick of the fight. With the largest bloc of western Democrats scheduled to come to Washington this winter since New Deal days, the voice they customarily raise in behalf of federally- financed public works pro jects dams, irrigation works, harbor improvements, forest access roads, highways, etc. will be all the stronger be cause of their substantially in creased number. What is more, the sharp split along party lines within the western bloc of senators during the past five years may be all but gone during the 86th Congress. That is, western Republicans who fol- liowed the GOP admmistra tion's lead in favoring a re duced government role in western development will now be in a small minority, less capable of contesting the plans and programs of the Democrats for more and big ger federal projects. Heavy Extension What happened in the west ern states congressional races last Tuesday was no sudden swing toward the Democrats, but rather a heavy extension of a trend which had been developing away from the Republicans since the 19 5 4 elections. This trend began after the record of the 83rd Congress went on the line. This was the Congress which came in with the Eisenhower landslide of 1952. It gave Republicans con trol of 12 of the 22 western Senate seats and an even big ger margin of control of west ern House seats. It was in this 83rd Congress that western Republicans split away from western Democrats in support ing federal dams, giving sup port to the administration s new 'p a r t n e rship" power policy which .favored local utility development of dam sites. 1954 Elections Then in the 1954 elections, one of the chief advocates of this antifederal power policy, Sen Guy Cordon (R-Ore.), was defeated by Richard L. Neu berger, a Democrat who hit hard at what he termed "give aways" of resources. In the 1956 elections, Oregon voted to keep Sen. Wayne Morse, now a Democrat, over Doug las McKay, who symbolized more than anyone else the administration's controversial resource policies because he had served as Eisenhower's Secretary of the Interior. And in Idaho, another critic of this policy, Frank Church, was elected over incumbent Re publican Sen. Herman Welk er. With Democrats moving, in to these Oregon and Idaho Senate seats, the administra tion came to rely heavily upon Utah's white - haired Sen. Arthur V. Watkins, especial ly in the Republican effort to defeat the high Hells Canyon dam bill: Now, with the 1958 election returns in, Watkins is out. Lone GOP Senator So are Sens. George (Molly) Malone (R-Nev.), easily the most ancientminded of the western, bloc, and Frank Bar rett (R-Wyo.), another con servative. And the seat held by conservative Sen. William Knowland (R-Calif.) has gone to the Democrats. Sen Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) was the lone GOP senator to survive this year's elections in the West. Goldwater is perhaps the most likely prospect for as suming the role of administra tion spokesman in opposition to western Democrats for more proiects requiring fed eral financing. But his is like ly to be a lonely voice of op position on many occasions, for even some of those west ern Republicans who remain are not apt to buck the tide of opinion that appears to be running in the West. Four Colleagues Goldwater will have only four Republican colleagues from the West, not counting the possibility that Alaska 'may elect a Republican when it votes Nov. 25. Sen Thomas Kuchel (R-Calif.) is the most liberal of the lot. He strongly opposed an a d m i n i stration plan for "partnership" con struction of the Trinity River project in northern California, supporting the uemocraxic proposal for federal construc tion championed by Calif ornia's new Democratic sen ator, Clair Engle. The other three GOP sen ators are more conservative, but not as much as Goldwater, with the possible exception of Sen. Wallace Bennett (R- Utah), former head of the Na tional Association of Manu facturers who confines him self chiefly to fiscal affairs and has played only a minor role in resources affairs. Col orado's Sen Gordon Allott is moderately conservative. And Idaho's Sen. Henry Dworshak, while thoroughly conservative is a vetern politician who is given to straddling the fence, holding one finger aloft and keeping an ear to the ground, all simultaneously, to the wonder of ' amateurs in the trade. Favor Government , Western Democrats in the Senate will all appear to have been cut from the same cloth when it comes to resource development. They favor the federal government doing the job in the main. Their dif ferences are apt to be more on national issues, with Engle more conservative than Morse, for example, on labor legisla tion; with Neuberger more insistent than Magnuson or Morse that the government must increase its revenues if it is to step up spending. But it would be a mistake to assume in advance that this strong bloc of western Demo crats will be able to bring in a new federal dam building era such as was started during the New Deal, when Bonne ville, Grand Coulee 'and Hoover dams were built. Power of Veto If . President E i s e n hower makes a fight of it. as he in dicated at last Wednesday's news conference that he would, than he will still have the power of the veto to em ploy against new spending proposals. He vetoed one ap propriation bill this last ses sion, forcing the Democrats in Congress to trim its amount. Whether the Demo crats will have enough strength to override vetoes with consistency remains to be seen. In the House of Representa- tives, conservative western Republicans have lost ground since they reached their peak of strength with Eisenhower's 1952 win, but not as much ground as in the Senate. The defeats of Reps. Harris El lsworth and Sam Coon in Ore gon in 1956 illustrate the GOP setbacks. Both were advoc ates of the GOP power policy, who lost to federal power men, Reps. Charles Porter and Al Ullman.

Some of these GOP congressmen, notably Reps. Russell V. Mack, Thor Tollefson and Walt Horan, have leaned more toward public power than private power. And Rep. Thomas Pelly in Seattle has even had labor support in his campaigns all of which indicates that Washington state's successful Republicans have been less conservative by far than the average GOP lawmaker. ' The largest bloc of western conservative congressmen re mains in California. A ma jority of its 30 seats have been held by Republicans in recent years, but this election shifted the control slightly to the, Democrats. Nevertheless, there are more Republican congressmen from California than from all the other west ern states combined. This will probably be true until and un less the Democrats get a chance to redistrict the state after the 1960 census. Many present districts have been carved out in old-fashioned gerrymander style to favor the Republicans. Other Factors Several other factors will strongly influence the issue of how much and how far the question of federal develop ment will go. Within the Democratic ranks, the liberals will now have a much strong er position. Their big gains in the North and West in both Houses will give liberals much more voting strength than southern conservatives. This, observers feel, will com pel the Democratic leaders from Texas, Sen. Lyndon Johnson and Speaker Sam Rayburn, to move more to ward the position of the li berals and away from the stance of moderation they have maintained in recent years when their margin of control of Congress was razor thin. Liberals may insist, for ex ample, on passage of the fed eral aid for school construc tion bill, which Johnson and Rayburn in the past have not included in their legislative program. ' On the other hand, the Democrats as a party may be restrained from going "too far" in the next two years out of fear of causing a deep pub lic reaction against them in 1960 when the presidency will be at stake. If Eisenhow er and the Republicans who remain in 'Congress can cre ate the image, of "fiscal irre sponsibility" and attach it to 8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, November 9. 1738 the Democrats, caution mayver for the bigger political set in as both parties maneu- stakes of 1960.
