From the Legislature
The wire services, within their limitations of
time and manpower, do a fairly good job of cov
ering the state legislature for the papers they
serve.
The legislature poses a difficult challenge to
newspaper reporters, for there are so many things
eroiner on, in so many places, and often at the same
time, that it is a physical
and write all the news which is there.
But the significant things are picked up, soon'
er or later, for each measure goes through a num
ber of processes before it is finally enacted, and
somewhere along the way it is reported in more
or less detail.
'TEE PAPERS which can do the best job, of
course, are those large enough (like the Ore
gonian and Journal) to be able to afford to have
their own staff men at the scene, or close enough
(like the Salem Statesman and Capital-Journal)
to have beat men at the Capitol regularly.
At this distance, we do not pick up all the
details about the legislature which we would like,
despite the best efforts of the United Press Inter
national men at the scene to provide it.
. It is for this reason we read the Portland and
Salem papers with extra care during a legislative
session, on the chance that they may have some
material of particular interest to Jackson county
people, which the UPI missed. -
ONE SUCH item was in the Capital-Journal
the other day, written by Douglas Seymour,
the political editor, in which he commented on
the effectiveness of the legislature, the impression
he has received of its "hard-working, cooperative
and economy-minded" attitude, despite party dif
ferences, and the firm hand which the two pre
siding officers are using in speeding business of
their houses.
Seymour had this to say about Robert Dun
can, Medford Democrat who is speaker of the
house: -
"Duncan, the crew-cut second term House member
who is also growing a Centennial beard, is setting a
tone of seriousness and getting down to work in the
House,. -
"A person could : set his watch by the sharp
thump of the gavel with which he brings the House to
. order each day at 10 ajn.
. "Duncan has also eliminated the previously much
abused practice of members using the personal priv
ilege rule for speechmaking.
"He has ruled that the call for personal privilege
"can only be used under conditions laid down under
Roberts Rules of Order.
"Oddly enough, his first enforcement of the ruling
this week was made against his Democratic ally, Rep.
Clarence Barton (Coquille), chairman of the powerful
taxation committee, who attempted to answer an edi
torial critical to him which had appeared in a Port
land newspaper.
"Duncan ruled him out of order and gaveled him
down."
TTHIS TYPE of reporting does nothing to give
one the story of the big problems of the legis
lature, but it does certainly add color to reports
of the session, and in the case of representatives
from this area, it gives a much better idea of what
sort of representation w are gettixfc.
In Duncan's case, reports have far been all
good. Reports from Democratic sources have been
enthusiastic; those from Republican sources may
be grudging, but nonetheless they acknowledge
that the young speaker is decisive, firm, fair and
energetic. E.A.

"William Bybee of Jacksonville was in town
Wednesday on return from his annual hog drive
to Happy Camp, Cal. The swine are assembled
at his Bybee Bridge ranch on Rogue River, and
are driven 110 miles, the last 30 miles from
Waldo being over a mountain trail. The trip oc
cupies about two weeks, and six men are needed
to keep the procession moving. The drive this
year consisted of 156 head, averaging 200
pounds, and was accomplished with the loss of
but one hog. The price at Happy Camp was $7.40
on foot, or $9 dressed, netting Mr. Bybee a hand
some margin. Mr. Bybee has been in this business
for 41 years, and the miners at Happy Camp
count on his supply for winter meat."

Editorial Comment
MORSE CAN
SMILE AT THIS
Sen. Wayne Morse must
have been proud, justifiably,
when nine United States sena
tors held a luncheon honoring
him Tuesday and presented
him with gifts and testimoni
als. The occasion was the nine
senators' mode of saying
"thank you" to Morse for his
speech assistance of their can
didacies last fall. Morse spoke
in all nine of the states, back
ing these winners, as well as
in his own state of Oregon.
Included were eight Demo
cratic freshman senators: En
gle of California, Byrd and
Randolph of West Virginia,
Hart of Michigan, Hartke of
Indiana, McCarthy of Minne
sota, McGee of Wyoming and
Young of Ohio. The ninth man
was Prpxmire of Wisconsin,
who strictly speaking isn't a
freshman, having served a
short period before the elec
tion. Also honoring Morse on
the occasion was Sen. Lyndon
Johnson, the smooth Senate
impossibility to gather
Meat
majority leader, and National
Democratic Chairman Paul
Butler.
Morse must have felt partic
ularly fine about the whole
thing" because of the sharp
shooting against him in his
home constituency, where
some Democrats allege he isn't
much help to the Democratic
party. The nine junior Demo
crats in the U. S. Senate disa
gree and so do the party's
chairman and its number one
(at the moment) power: Sen
ator Johnson of Texas.
It would be a nice feeling
to have nine U. S. senators
feeling they owed a part of
their position to you, and who
looked up to you as an exam
ple of principled liberalism.
We tend to get provincial.
It's a tendency not restricted
to ourselves. In the case of
Morse, to whom the people of
Oregon are so close, it's easy
to overlook the tremendous
reputation the man has in ev
ery corner of the United
States. If the man has faults,
they are not recognized out-

l MmO PICTURE IN THIS
Matter of Fact
THE MAJOR'S FRIEND
Washington The day they
brought the major in, the for
ward airbase in East China
kkv-'"""WW staged a cele-
w "a
M bration. The
Japs had shot
Rex Barbour
down north
of the Yangt
ze River. He
had been too
badly injured
to walk. He
had been car-
josph Aisop r i e a several
hundred miles on the backs of
Chinese guerillas. He had had
several hairs-breadth escapes
from Jap patrols. Altogether,
a celebration was in order.
Later in the evening,, after
a good many.-"kan peis" of
the local white mule, some
one said, "Rex, tell us about
how you got the Japanese ad
miral." An odd look crossed
the major's handsome young
face. Perhaps he was tired of
describing the last seconds on
earth of Admiral Isoroku
Yamamoto, commander of all
the Japanese Emperor's ships
in the Pacific. Yet he told it
well, all the same.
(1NE all but saw the bril
liant interception the
two little American fighters
coming in on the flank of the
big Jap bombers and their six
escorting Zeroes, just at the
planned interception point
over a steamy, palm-fringed
South Pacific island. One all
but watched the grim fight
against, these fearful odds
the Americans' quick, deadly
first attack, the two bombers
flaming and falling, then
fighters diving and twisting
in the bright air, and the Ze
roes also bursting into quick,
hot flame, and the two
American planes turning for
home at last, their mission
miraculously accomplished.
One held one's breath, in
deed, until the major finish
ed: "But the man who got the
Admiral was Tom Lamphier.
I was his wing man. He led
the attack. We each got a
bomber, but he took the first
one, and the first one had
Yamamoto on board." There
is a current reason for dig
ging this snapshot of the for
gotten past out of memory's
album. This same Tom Lam
phier, whom the major talk
ed about for much of the rest
of that happy, long ago eve
ning, is again being talked
about here in Washington,
But this time Lamphier is be
ing discussed in very differ
ent language, by men on the
highest level of the American
Government.
. .
PRIMARILY, Lamphier is
r
being discussed because
he is a' very worried man,
and because he has attacked
the thing that worries him
with the same devil-may-care,
go-for-the-lead-bomber deter
mination that he showed
when Yamamoto met his end.
But the thing that worries
Lamphier happens to be the
Eisenhower Administration's
complacency about the mis
sile gap. So this new fight
against odds is unlikely to be
rewarded with the Navy
Cross, the Silver Star, and
the Distinguished Flying
Cross, as the last fight was.
' When Sen. Stuart Syming
ton was Secretary of the Air
Force, Tom Lamphier was his
Assistant Secretary. Lam
phier is still. Symington's
close friend; and in the last
months Symington and Lam
phier, with Lamphier fever
ishly spudding Symington on,
side of Oregon because his
great virtues outshine them.
The freshmen senators'
luncheon for Wayne Morse is
an adequate answer to those
Democrats who doubt his val
ue to the party, and to those
Republicans who cherish the
thought that "That Man" is
headed downhill politically,
-f.wa. in the Coos Bay World.

HOUSE THAT COUL0UXXAV
By Joseph Alsop
have desperately pressed for
a cold, hard new look at the
changes in the military bal
ance between the United
States and the Soviet Union
This was a wholly private
effort. It was only the failure
of the private effort that
drove Symington to speak
out in public, with bitter elo
quence, in the Senate last
Friday. Twice before the pri
vate effort failed, Symington
saw President Eisenhower
himself, to beg for bold ac
tion to meet the challenge of
Soviet progress in ballistic
missiles.
npWICE Symington and Lam
phier also saw the direc
tor, of the Central Intelli
gence Agency, Allen W. Dul
les, whom the President told
off to soothe the anxious Sen
ator. On the second occasion,
which had been planned as a
fairly grandiose briefing,
Lamphier all but broke up
the party by declaring that
his own manufacturing expe
rience proved the dangerous
over-optimism of the official
estimates of Soviet missile
output.
Lamphier knows most of
the secret facts that are with
held from the American pub
lic, precisely because he is a
manufacturer of ballistic mis
siles. But as vice-president
of Convair, which makes the
Atlas Intercontinental Mis
sile, Lamphier has an obvious
interest in bigger Atlas ord
ers from the Air Force. Thus
a good many men on the high
er governmental level are
smugly saying that Tom Lam
phier has just been "selling a
bill of goods with his furious,
worried talk about the mis
sile gap.
. That is one way to look at
it. The other way to look at
it also involves a snapshot
from the forgotten past the
tragic . picture of Winston
Churchill and Sir Austen
Chamberlain going to plead
with Stanley Baldwin for
British rearmament to match
Hitler's rearmament, and get
ting a smug, dusty answer to
their anguished and far-sighted
pleas. The two ways of
looking at it are diametrical
ly opposed; and the choice
between them deserves fur
ther investigation.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
IMAGE-MAKING
Washington - The poor old
Republicans are having so
frightful a time in trying to
heighten their
public appeal
as to draw
nonpart i s a n
compas s i o n
from all but
the most
stony of heart.
Candor,
however, com
pels the pre
diction that
bad as times
are
now for the GOP
national committee they will
be much worse before they
get better.
Meade Alcorn, the Repub
lican national chairman, is
moving with commendable vi
gor and forthrightness in the
public inquests he is holding.
He is telling his fellow-Republicans
with rare honesty that
much is wrong with them and
their party. He is saying that
they have got to face their
own partisan sins of commis
sion before they can usefully
proclaim the storied trans
gressions of the dreadful
Democrats.
BUT while his policy is re
freshing there is little evi
dence that he is getting very
far. He is trying to remake
the face of the GOP; or its
"image," as the saying goes
and goes and goes, on and on
and on.
Few politicians can have
faced a harder task. In the
first place, the old-line Repub
licans are quite skeptical on
principle, as was so clearly
shown in the recent GOP
meeting in Des Moines, of all
this image business. The Old
Guardists have long since
learned to suspect that fellow
Republicans offering new
"images" are selling some
thing the Old Guard will not
like.
The Old Guard knows that
every new "image," whatever
its details, inevitably will be
a departure from, or an apol-
William S.
White
Mutual Distrust; Issues Listed
continued, uncontrolled tests.
Both sides profess to believe
in the need for agreement, if
only to halt one phase of the
worldwide armaments race.
What then prevents it? The
answer is, mutual distrust.
From the standpoint of the
West at least, bitter experi
ence has proved that any
agreement with the Commu
nists must be copper-riveted,
every last detail written out.
For example, it was Allied
failure to write into the four
power agreement for control
of Berlin a clause guarantee
ing Allied right of access
through Communist-controll
world with her brothers and
sisters.
Coralee was one of the
sweetest, most loving and
eager-to-please children I have
known. Never did anyone de
serve less to have her head
brutally bashed in, but that is
exactly what happened to her.
And so Coralee is no longer
in my arms but her dear little
body lies rotting in a ceme-
tery-the result of a traffic
"accident."
Every one of you who reads
this will probably . within
hours step into a car to go
someplace. With all the inno
cence of unscarred childhood
you will blithely assume that
accidents happen only to
strangers and that you will of
course arrive at your destina
tion, and not in the next
world.
Oh happy innocence-how I
envy you! Can you imagine
what it is like to step into a
car and relive, every moment
S. WHITE
ogy for, Old Guardism. And
the Old Guard-and here its
attitude is engaging to all who
flinch from sloganeering-has
the outmoded habit of de
manding to know what large
and generalized terms really
mean.
What, exactly, does Mr. Al
corn mean in calling for "a
militant, enlightened Repub
licanism?" First thing you
know you will wind up with
a lot of Democratic nonsense
in your policy, as the Old
Guard sees it, when you begin
to talk like that.
A GAIN, what, exactly, does
r- Mr. Alcorn mean when he
calls for the destruction of
"the false frnage of the Re
ublican party as the party of
big business?" The Old Guard
knows perfectly well that the
GOP nearly always has been
close to big business-and lit
tle and middling business,
too-and sees no special rea
son to change. The Old Guard
reckons that labor is not go
ing to be excessively friendly
to the GOP-under whatever
"image."
And the Old Guard (along
with many non-Old Guard but
simply middle-ground "regu
lar" Republicans) has a sound
traditional skepticism of the
power, or right, of any party
committee to make party pol
icy. These Republicans are
aware that policy made by, or
even through, a national com
mittee is not really policy at
all. Policy is really made by
a strong and determined par
ty President or, alternatively,
by a strong and determined
party Congressional leader
ship. .
fPHIS is why such powerful
Republicans as Rep. Rich
ard M. Simpson of Pennsyl
vania are now becoming pub
licly impatient with spirited
White House messages in
which President Eisenhower
urges other Republicans to get
in there and fight. They want
the President himself to get
in there and fight; to lead the
party and not merely to ad
monish it. They realize that a
hundred national committees
cannot put any true face on
any party; the people never
elected any national commit
tee. Indeed, Mr. Alcorn's genu
inely brave effort is not likely
to proceed much farther than
have the many eager efforts
of the Democratic Advisory
Committee to change the
Democratic party's "image."
This sub-group of .the Demo
cratic national committee has
been happy upon many occa
sions to give very strong ad
vice to the Democratic Con
gressional leaders. -
But these leaders have been
less than deeply moved. And
these leaders, and not the
Democratic Advisory Commit
tee, are still in charge of the
image - building department.
And the GOP Congressional
leaders at length will be still
in charge of the image-building
department in that party
as well.

galistic excuse for trying to

Reds Want Unanimity
The issues which face to
day's negotiators and which
threaten to delay agreement
for months, if not forever, are
these:
The right of veto.
How long to continue a
test ban.
The amount of control
and the number and nature
of the personnel needed to
police it.
On issue No. 1, the Rus
sians demand that all deci-
I am in it, the agony of body
Coralee endured and the ago
ny of spirit I must learn to
live with for the rest of my
life? It amazes me to see peo
ple driving around relaxed
and happy and so completely
unconscious of the fact that
every moment they are in a
car they are only seconds
from the possibility of a vio
lent and horrible death. I
would feel as safe walking in
front of the target of a shoot
ing gallery as I do out on the
highway now.
Perhaps you are wondering
why I am annoying other peo
ple with the ravings of a
heartbroken mother. But I do
have a good reason. The rea
son is that I have other chil
dren, and I can't stop driving
if I am to take care of them
properly. As much as I hate it,
I am forced to drive in order
to get them to Sunday school,
the doctor, the dentist and the
multitude of other needs chil
dren have. I wasn't out on a
pleasure trip when Coralee
was killed." I was taking one
of my children to the doctor
because he had an earache.
Those are the kinds of trips
I am going to have to continue
to make for a good many
years. And I ; tremble with
fear" when I think of it.
I want to beg every one of
you who reads this-
Don't take another one of
my children out of my arms.
Don't take any other mother's
dear one and send him to join
Coralee in that little piece of
ground. Think about her
when you feel that urge to
speed, or to pass on a hill or
a curve or to go through a
stop sign. Think about what
it means to have to live the
rest of your life with the
knowledge you have taken an
irreplaceable human life. We
will have to be driving around
together in this valley for a
good many years. I beg of you
-I plead with you-from the
bottom of my heart, drive so
that I can take my children
out on the highway with the
hope of bringing them back
home again, alive and safe.
I have one suggestion to
make as a means of emphasiz
ing careful driving. During
the war everyone who had
lost a loved one put a gold
star in his window. Let the
secretary of state have de
signed and manufactured gold
stars which will attach to li
cense plates. Let him issue a
gold star to every one who
has lost a loved one in an auto
accident. Let us who qualify
for this sad category put these
stars on our automobiles as a
constant reminder to others
that they are engaged in a
grim matter of life and death
when they are driving a car.
Let us all hope that perhaps
some of these needless and
tragic deaths can be pre
vented. If even one life could be
saved would it not be worth
while?

sions be unanimous among
the three nations party to the
agreement. That means a
built-in veto-the same sort of
veto Russia has used nearly
100 times in the United Na
tions Security council to ham
string decisions there and the
same sort of veto that virtual
ly has wrecked the Korean
armistice.
In Korea, the Communists
agreed that neither side
should be allowed to increase
armaments beyond that exist
ing on the date of the armis
tice agreement. But the agree
ment was nullified by Com
munist refusal to permit Al
lied inspection teams into
North Korea.
Fear Spy Ring
The latter point overlaps
into the present nuclear-ban
deadlock at Geneva.
The West believes that nu
clear inspection teams should
be staffed by foreigners. It
believes that nationals of the
country concerned could not
provide adequate guarantees
that agreement was being ob
served. Russia has charged that to
permit foreign inspectors
would mean establishment of
a Western spy ring inside Rus
sia. Ironically, the Russians
make no note of the possibil
ity a Russian spy ring could
be set up the same way inside
the United States or Britain.
The Russians say inspection
teams should be called up and
sent out only when a suspi
cious phenomena is recorded.
Favors Mobile Teams
The West believes the in
spection teams should be
highly mobile and should be
on a standby basis.
The Russians also demand
that any nuclear test ban
should be permanent. The
West wants it on a year-to-year
basis and will agree to
any ban only after the mat
ter of controls has been set
tled. Each of these differences is
founded on mutual distrust.
Any agreement reached on
the basis of Russian demands
would be totally in Russia's
favor, leaving her free to do
as she wished while continu
ing a barrage of propaganda
charges against the West. The
West is determined not to re
peat the errors of .Yalta, Ber
lin or Korea.
Italian President

Rome -(DPD- President Gio
vanni Gronchi launched ef
forts to find a new govern
ment today, hoping to avert a
crisis which could plunge It
aly into chaos.
Gronchi called in Senate
President Cesare Merzagora
for the first of a series of
talks with prospective pre
miers that is expected to last
at least five days.
Political observers saw no
prospect of Gronchi's finding
a new premier until sometime
next week- They believe the
choice probably will fall on
ex-Premier Antonio Segni or
outgoing Interior Minister
Fernando Tambroni.
Former Premier Amintore
Fanfani, who had governed
for nearly seven months with
out ever having a sure major
ity in Parliament, gave in
Monday to a combination of
pressures from the left, the
center and the right.
