Oregon
The end of the world's most famous trail is
Oregon, and argument might be assembled to
show that a region first glimpsed by a Portugese
sailor in 1542, pioneered more than two and a
half centuries later, granted statehood in 1859,
is if only through refreshing unpredictability at
the polls our best example of democracy at
work. In the Lone Fire Cemetery in Portland a
babel of markers in many languages is wan-ant
to such thought. In a land of contrasting climates,
soils, and crops, the people and opinions of people
will differ too. How tremendous "Where rolls
the Oregon !"
IN THE vast remains of a once vaster Oregon
Territory, two decisive mountain ranges and
a torrent of rivers determine the position of pawns
and castles on the chess board a sweet and sour
mixture of pay dirt, hard pan, agricultural and
grazing land, saw-timber, kinetic water, and
mineshaft.
Taken thus by squares, Oregon is lush and
alkali, magnificent and desolate, heart-wanning
and heart-breaking; the fisherman's paradise and
squatter's despair; one of the world's great orch
ards ; a game preserve, rain, forest, desert, placer
ruin, and manzanita thicket;' flyway for ducks
and geese.
The traveller remembers Mt. Hood, the Bon
neville Dam, roses and apple-blossoms, rhapsodic
Crater Lake, and the majestic sweep of the Co
lumbia River east and west at Crown Point high
above it. He also remembers that the people
everywhere are neighbors and friendly.
IT WOULD take a northwest Sibelius to sing
1 the symphony of Chinook from Table Rock
and ghost town to the John Day countiy or the
wheat-field geometry of Grand Ronde Valley;
from the sea-lion coast to the vertical Cascades ;
from the running of the salmon and steelhead to
the quicksilver life in shelving waters, or the
sound of blue grouse exploding in high timber.
New England set her stamp on Oregon's archi
tecure of the north, and journeyman carpenters
made the shanty-towns.
But the true poetry of Oregon red man and
white persists in the names of rivers, districts,
and places; Clackamas, Klamath, Willamette,
Umpqua, Yamhill, Tualatin, Deschutes, Rogue
River, Umatilla, Llao Rock, Wagontire, Siskiyou,
Multnomah, Tillamook, Scappoose, Owyhee, and
Necanicum.

year is reprinted from the Oregon Historical Quarter
ly, by permission. It was written by the distinguished

lived on a ranch in the Foots Creek area of Jackson
county.)
Consider
A policeman's life is
is also a vexing one if the policeman's name hap
pens to be Fod Maison and if his job is being sup
erintendent of state police. He has been subject
ed to badgering and abuse on two counts that
his boys m blue make too
their morale is bad because they make so many
arrests.
We don't know about their morale. But if it
is bad, we think it is bad because they know their
superintendent, and eventually the officers them
selves, are going to be attacked for doing a good
job.
t
XE DO know about the arrests. Far from m.ak-
ing too many, they probably make too few.
The relationship between traffic accident rates
and traffic arrest rates is a close one. The more
police crack down on speeders and reckless driv
ers, the fewer accidents there will be. The decis
ion to crack down and to issue citations instead
of warnings was not Mr. Maison's decision. That
came, quite properly, from Gov. Robert Holmes
who told the superintendent to carry it out.
It must be especially galling to have most of
the abuse coming from a person who is both a
state senator and a driver with a long history of
being on the unfortunate end of the police siren.
Presumably, the public is reading of Sen. Rich
ard Groener's endless tirade against the state po
lice and is taking it with an appropriate grain of
salt. Eugene Register Guard.
Ugh!
As we wavered this week between giving in
to the flu and going to bed or trying to remain
erect through it we got to thinking of a potion
that mother administered to her children through
the "months of colds." The stuff was called Sen
na tea. It was in those days we concluded that
anything that would benefit your health had. to
taste bad, had to be extremely unpleasant. Sat
urday night was Senna tea night. Little wonder
we had a particular dislike for Saturday nights
long after the medication was discontinued.
We can't recall the effect of Senna tea on
our health whether we were more immune
than other children to colds. But it had a long
range effect. Forever thereafter we've had to be
sicker than a dog before we'd go near a doctor.
We knew he'd prescribe medicine and we associ
ated medicine with Senna tea. Ilp-h! Prndlplnn

Matter of Fact
DARK BROWN HORSE
Washington - "We think
California has always thrown
in its hand too early, in past
national con
ventions."
The remark
has a sinister
ring for non
C a 1 i f o rnia
Democratic
candid ates
hoping for
C a 1 if d rnia
delegates. It
Jnnh AUnn was made by
one of the revivers of the
California Democracy, Roger
Kent, who is now Chairman
of the northern half of the
state organization. It an
nounces, in clear terms, what
may be called the serious dark
horse candidacy of California
Ciov. Pat Brown for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomina
tion. There is the widest differ
ence, of course, between an
ordinary dark horse and a
serious dark horse. Just about
every Senator and Governor
in both parties is an ordinary
dark horse, if he is not an
avowed candidate.
To be a serious dark horse,
however, you have to be
solemnly convinced that you
really can slip past the front
runners and win in the stretch.
You have to own some dele
gates who will assist you in
tljis delicate operation. And
you have to have a theory
about how you can use your
delegate strength in order to
achieve your grand objective.
If you pass these three tests,
you are a serious dark horse.
GOVERNOR BROWN, it is
clear, now passes all three
of these interesting tests. The
development began to be sus
pected when he came to Wash
ington to speak at the Grid
iron dinner, and stayed on to
make the formal rounds of the
other Democratic candidates
who now form such a rank
local growth. The reality of
the development has since
been confirmed by visiting
Brown henchmen, among
whom Roger Kent was the
most significant.
The Brown theory is sim
ple. California's political im
portance has grown greatly
since the days when the Re
publicans foolishly underrat
ed the vote-getting possibil
ities of Earl Warren. Even in
those days Warren might have
had a better chance to be
nominated if he had been
more insistent about his candi
dacy, which was also a dark
horse candidacy. Brown is
ready to be insistent. Cali
fornia law requires California
convention delegates to stay
with the man they are pledged
to until he releases them. A
favorite son delegation
pledged to Brown is being pre
pared. Hence the Governor
will also have the means to
be insistent. Brown is further
reported to believe that neith

candidates, Senators Kennedy

If Kennedy and Humphrey
fail, the Brown argument is
said to run, the convention
will then look at the inactive'

Symington of Missouri, and
the inactive but available can

Tt.'xas. But neither Symington
nor Johnson can hope to carry
California, according to
Brown. So why not Brown as
the next choice?

ner above-indicated, it will
matter a great deal to the
other candidates, even if the
Brown theory utterly fails to

California to put them over
By the same token, the other
inactive but available candi
date, Adlai Stevenson, is just
as likely as Brown indeed
a good deal more likely as of
now - to benefit from a suc
cessfully executed stop-every-body-else
plan. That fact cer
tainly cannot be absent from
the minds of the rather numer
ous California Democrats who
are Brown supporters, but
Stevenson enthusiasts too.
Still speaking as of now,
almost no one in the United
States but Brown and a tiny
number of men in the" Cali
fornia party organization take
the Brown dark horse candi
dacy at all seriously. Even the
people of his own state, who
gave Brown such a huge ma
jority for the Governorship,
apparently do not think of him
as a President as yet. In a
March Presidential test made
by the usually reliable Cali
fornia poll, for instance, Sen
ator Kennedy downright
trounced Vice President Nixon
and Governor Rockefeller of
New York. Adlai Stevenson
beat Nixon but was beaten
by Rockefeller. And both
Rockefeller and Nixon beat
Brown. All that can be chang
ed by Brown's performance in
the Governorship, which has
been much more solid and im
pressive so far than most ob
servers predicted. A major
Brown success in the Cali
fornia State House could even
cause his candidacy to' be
taken very seriously right
across the country. But even
if Brown alone is serious about
it when the day comes, it will
still be important if he thinks
he can get the big prize and
hangs on to his delegates for
that purpose.

Has Complaint
To the Editor: The students
of Gold Hill school have a
complaint and would appre
ciate it if someone would
realize it.
We like Hanby Elementary
but this year it has been very
boring for the upper grades.
We have "monkey bars" but
girls cannot play on them be
cause we have to wear skirts.
At noon we have nothing to
do. We are not allowed in the
gymnasium and all we can
do is sit in the room, play
tether ball, four square, or
hop scotch. We certainly miss
being able to have the gym
and play records and dance,
which we were allowed to do
last year.
What we would enjoy is
having swings on our play
ground. Our principal says
that they are too dangerous.
The. first, second and third
grades (which are in a separ
ate school) have swings. I am
sure that most of the older
children learned to swing be
fore the first grade. It is lots
of fun to sit and talk at noon
or recess. The only place we
have to do that now is in the
room, the front steps or the
railing in front of the school.
The school I went to be
fore had swings, which were
not considered dangerous. We
also had the same principal.
He didn't say anything about
it then.

Gold Is Where You Find It
To the Editor: It all hap
pened here is southern Ore
gon. Around the turn of the
century the hand of fate play
ed a role in the destiny of a
number of quartz gold pocket
hunters. The first sequence,
a couple of prospectors about
two miles west of Gold Hill,
Ore., missed their deposit
with a drift by only two inch
es. Seeking the advice of a
Woodville miner, he pointed
to the exact spot that turned
failure into fortune. Around
1916 a Grants Pass miner and
"pocket" hunter dreamed of
finding a good gold quartz
lead, he afterwards found
named the "Golden Wedge of
Ophir." In the year of 1921
an old prospector and an el
derly retired railroad engin
eer ask a rancher near Rogue
River a likely place to find
gold. After meditating a mo
ment the rancher pointed to
a small ridge directly east,
across the river. Within a few
days the two old "fortune
hunters" were "sitting pret
ty" by uncovering a lost trace
to a handsome "pocket" that
had been missed years before.

Possible Next Target of Red
Middle East Battle Not Over
in light of the growing enmity
betwen President Gamal Ab
del Nasser's UAR and the
Soviet Union.
For with Syria firmly in
Nasser's grasp, Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev loses
his chance for a Mediterran
ean port. Therefore, he might
decide it is time for a flank
ing action, driving toward the
Persian Gulf. .
Such an idea would not be
new to the Russians.
In 1940, during the brief
period of friendship between
Russia and Hitler's Germany,
the Russians candidly de
scribed the "area south of
Batum and Baku in the gen
eral direction of the Persian
Gulf" as the center of Soviet
aspirations.
: If Communism takes over
Iraq', then Iran is the only
bar to fulfillment of that
dream.

with the historic reality of
Soviet aspirations..
Passes Split Mountains
It would not be hard to
convince many here the Sov
iet Mideastern threat -is a
greater one than the Soviet
threat to West Berlin.
.Three passes split the moun
tains dividing Iraq and Iran
and provide the only feasible
land routes between them.

division is spread out across
pense of fencing their yards
to confine their own pets, have
all the horrors of neighbor's
dogs putreying children's play
yards, digging among flower
beds, leaving behind bacteria
and fungi.
The solution is not going to
all the expense of a dog pick
up, spayed or . put to death
dogs, because of some one's
lack of appreciation of a pet
or towards their fellow man,
but the simple solution is a
leash law and its penalties if
not obeyed.
The leash law would pre
vent promiscuous breeding
which is causing an over
abundance of dogs, which in
turn requires the gas cham
ber. Start at the source. It's as
simple as that!
Or can it be that the poli
ticians are afraid of the short
sighted electors who call them
selves "dog lovers," but who
are wiring to let their pets
roam the streets and take a
chance in getting killed or
crippled, eat refuse and run
the disk of disease and who
are indifferent to the feelings
of those people who like clean
lawns where their children
may play and friends visit
without stepping in the mess
of some "dog lovers" pet.
Our pet stays in her own
yard. Yes, we too, are dog
lovers, and we love her
enough to keep her where
she will stay alive, eat health
ful foods and not annoy the
neighbors.

Against DST
To the Editor: Why are the
state political troublemakers
trying to shove daylight sav
ings off on us taxpayers again?
This daylight savings mess has
been brought up to the voters
several times and each time
it was defeated at the polls,
so this must show what the
people want. I'm getting sick
and tired of reading about
politicians, with nothing bet
ter to do, trying to get us to
change our clocks. I raise pigs
on my ranch and do you know
that they can't tell time?
Neither can the chickens or
the livestock. That's a fact and
if daylight savings time goes
in, they won't grow a bit
faster.
Daylight savings time won't
make the sun come up any
faster and set any later, but
of course if Salem could pass
a law about that they would.
Now if the sun and. my chick
ens and pigs don't pay any at
tention to daylight savings, I
know that none of my neigh
bors or anybody else will.
I think that it is time to
get rid of some of our dead
wood politicians up north who
can't tend to business and
leave my clocks alone.

THE MOCK HEARINGS
ON LEWIS STRAUSS
Washington-The petty per
formance which the Senate
Commerce committee is put
ting on in connection with its
mock hearings on confirma
tion of Lewis L. Strauss as
Secretary of Commerce is, it
seems to me, a discredit to the
Senate and a disservice to de
cent government any way
you look at it.
What is happening is that
by every devious a d dilatory
device some Democratic mem
bers of the committee are
seeking to stall the hearings
so interminably that some
body, somehow, will be able
to turn up something discred
itable to Admiral Strauss-or
that he will be induced to re
sign in frustration. He won't.
Of course the somebody
who is most intensely eager
to turn up any tidbit which
could be used against the sec
retary 'designate and who is
busily working at it is one
who has made an anti-Strauss
crusade a personal preoccupa-
tion-you guessd it-Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D.-Tenn.).
Mr. Kefauver is not a mem
ber of the Senate Commerce
committee. Its chairman, Sen
Warren G. Magnuson (D.
Wash.), by nature a man of
goodwill and fairness, for
some reason seems willing to
play Senator Kefauver's little
private game of "let's-get-
Lewis Strauss."
T AM NOT arguing that Ad-
x miral Strauss will be the
greatest Secretary of Com
merce since Harry Hopkins
and Henry Wallace, appointed
by President Roosevelt, or
Averell Harriman, appointed
by President Truman. I am
not suggesting that every pol
icy and every action which
Admiral Strauss has initiated
in a decade and a half of pub
lic service has been without
error of judgment. I'd almost
say he ought to be rejected if
such a claim were true. But
the facts which are pertinent
are these:
Lewis Strauss has served
three presidents with equal
loyalty and skill in posts of
large responsibility.
When he was special assist
ant to Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal, he did such a good
job that he was decorated by
both the Army and the Navy.
When he was a member of
the Atomic Energy commis
sion in the Truman adminis
tration, he found himself the
lone supporter of the H-bomb
and when he won the backing
of Mr. Truman, they together
overcame the massive resist
ance to it.
When President Eisenhow
er in 1953 was looking for a
way to demonstrate America's
deep interest in furthering
peace-not just talking about
it-it was Admiral Strauss who
helped devise and strongly

The weapon used could be

figure. Any public official
worth his salt will be.
Senator Kefauver, who
seems to be biding his time to
put in an appearance before
the Commerce committee's
hearings - which are being
postponed for his convenience
-is aiming to find some way
to show that Admiral Strauss
had an unethical part in the
short-lived Dixon-Yates con
tract by which a private com
pany, instead of TVA, would
provide some power for the
Memphis area.
I suspect that Admiral
Strauss wishes the Dixon
Yates contract, later can
celled, had never been born.
But the Department of Jus-tice-whom
you might consid
er prejudiced-and the Com
mission for the U.S. Court of
Claims-who is certainly not
partisan and who examined
the Dixon-Yates matter inside
and out -found no evidence
adverse to Admiral Strauss.
And the Commerce commit
tee's hearings on Secretary
Strauss drag on. He wai
