Matter of Fact
THE MERELY SMOKING
VOLCANO
Washington-There is some
thing remarkably revealing in
the President's private reason
t o r delaying
the announce
ment of his
choice of for:
m e r Gov.
Christian
Herter as Sec-
retary of
State.
In brief, the
choice itself
-losopb Alsop
was made
long since, on the warm rec
ommendation of Secretary
Dulles. But "President Eisen
hower had the curious notion
that, at the moment of John
Foster Dulles's final resigna
tion, all attention ought to be
concentrated on the tragic
figure of the retiring Secre
tary. Eisenhower wanted
Dulles alone to hold the cen
ter of the , stage," instead, of
sharing it with his successor.
Hence the President made
Ms remarks about the other
men besides Herter whose
qualifications deserved to be
examined. The President's
sentiment about Dulles thus
led him to cast an inevitable
cloud of doubt on the degree
of confidence that would be
accorded to Dulles's successor.
Once again, in this strange
manner, the uniqueness of the
position that John Foster
Dulles enjoyed was sharply
underlined.
IN THE realm of foreign af
fairs, until his terrible ill
ness began, John Foster Dulles
was President of the United
States in fact though not in
name. In the most critical sit
uations his recommendations
were never questioned. Nor
were questions ever put to
him about any situation that
he did not bring to the Presi
dent's attention.
This ' last feature of the
Dulles regency produced some
pretty strange results, in view
of John Foster Dulles's highly
personal way of doing busi
ness.' Since no one but Dulles
himself had the authority to
deal with any major problem,
no problem was ever attended
to that Dulles had no time to
attend to. Despite his incred
ible 'industry and self -disci
pline, Dulles could not make
one day grow into two days;
and thus only the most urgent
problems were seriously
tackled. Volcanos in active
eruption absorbed all the Sec
retary's attention, so to say,
while volcanos that were
merely smoking angrily had
to be neglected.
rpHE results of this system
X. are most clearlv visible in
the strategically crucial Mid
dle East. In periods of acute
tension - during the first Jor
danian crisis, for example,
and during the Lebanese crisis
all Secretary Dulles's efforts
were focussed on the Middle
East. But American Middle
Eastern policy has been, with
rare exceptions, a crisis policy
rather than a continuing
policy. At present, it is fair to
say that the United States
has no Middle Eastern policy
at aU.
The clouds of smoke pour
ing out of several Middle East
ern volcanos meanwhile indi
cate that a policy is badly
needed. Above all, decisions
are demanded by the rapid in
crease of Communist power in
Iraq. This has produced the
increasingly bitter quarrel be
tween the Iraqi leader, Brig.
Abdel Karim Kassem, and
Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser,
who has begun denouncing
Communism as another form
of anti-Arab imperialism.
British Middle Eastern
policy is desperately concen
trated on protecting their oil
rich holdings in the Persian
Gulf. Hence the British were
at first delighted by the Nas-ser-Kassem
row. They thought
Kuwait and the other Gulf
Coast sheikhdoms would be
safe, as long as the leaders of
the two principal Arab states
were busy slanging one an
other. For a long while, there-.

count this as a BkTH ? '
Alsop
fore, the British Foreign Of
fice smiled on Kassem, and
refused to believe in his sur
render to the Communists.
-
IN RECENT weeks, however,
the evidence of total Com
munist domination in Iraq has
become too great to be ig
nored. The British Ambassa
dor in Baghdad, Sir Humphrey
Trevelyan, has been called
home "for consultation." Con
sultations are certainly in
order, for as s o o n as the
Communists are solidly estab
lished in Iraq, the Kremlin
and its local agents can be ex
pected to put the most severe
pressure on neighboring Iran,
The position in Iran is already
pretty shaky. A Communist
success in Iran, which seems
entirely possible within the
next 18 months, will in turn
have the most explosive ef
fect in the Persian Gulf, in
the Arabian peninsula, and
everywhere else in the Middle
East.
The very fact that Nasser
and Kassem are so violently
at odds meanwhile gives ; an
opening for a bold Middle
Eastern policy. But the British
are too weakly situated, and
too dependent on Middle East
ern oil. They dare not even
think about a bold Middle
Eastern policy without an
American lead. But Let her

tary Dulles did, if only be
cause he cannot hope for a
comparable grant of power
from the President. But per
haps he will do what Dulles
did not do - organize the State
Department to begin a new,
preventive approach to all
these potential or probable
trouble spots.

THE COMMUNITY
WISHES HIM THE BEST
Principal J. R. (Russ) Ache-
son of Bend's senior high
high school, who is leaving at
the end of the term to take
over work in Medford's grow
ing school system, has been
more than a teacher and prin
cipal in his dozen years here.
He found time to serve the
community in which he work
ed and lived.
Ruch Acheson's extra-curri-c
u 1 a r activities covered a
wide field.
In 1958 his civic work was
climaxed by his leadership of
the Pageantarians in present
ing the Mirror Pond Pageant.
He also served as a director
of the Bend Chamber of
Commerce, and found time to
work with the Lions in their
varied projects.
In his many years here,
Russ Acheson has always
been available for leadership
in connection with athletic
activities. Known to few is
the fact that in his college
days, Russ Acheson played
varsity football at Oregon
State college in a backfield
berth.
Despite his school and civic
activities, Russ Acheson found
time in his stay in Bend to
continue his education, and
in 1950 received his master's
degree from the University of
Oregon. This past year he was
named vice-president of the
Oregon Secondary School
Principals' association, and
will head the state group in
the coming year.
Russ Acheson will leave
Bend with the best wishes of
the entire community for full
success in the larger field into
which he is moving.
The bid to Medford comes
as a well-earned recognition
of the Bend principal's ability
as an executive, and his rec
ord as a man who served his
community well.

What are a few scrubbed

I figure things in the house
need to be well scrubbed at
least once a year and why not
wait to do it till after smudge
season? Who likes to go to
town and be covered with cin
ders and filth from the mills
in about a half-hour's time?

we figure it as a necessary

mills with smoke there would
be no jobs in the Rogue val

move then. So why not'mQve
now and quit complaining?
Move to California? -No, they
have smudge pots too, in spite
of word to the contrary.

If taxes were lowered to

R. R. Working Conditions
To the Editor: Railroad
workers in train and engine
service are still laboring un
der some conditions that are
unheard of in most other in
dustries today.
President W. P. Kennedy of
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen points that out in
calling attention to the fact
that these railroad employees
are not paid a differential for
night work, receive no pay
ments for away-from-home
terminal expenses, nor do
they get premium pay for
work performed on Saturdays
and Sundays.
"It is difficult to believe
that railroad workers, per
forming highly - important
service in one of the nation s
principal industries, are still
denied those modern-day con
ditions benefits which near
ly all other workers enjoy to
day." he said.
Representatives of railroad
management, who are busily
engaged nowadays conducting
vicious campaign to turn
public opinion against rail
employees by unfairly charg
ing them with "feather-bed
ding" on the job, never men
tion those outdated condi
tions under which "rails"
must toil.
"The railroads see fit now
to snipe at their faithful and
dutiful employees, and their
labor unions, on various work
ing conditions to which they
agreed in collective bargain
ing sessions over the years,"
Kennedy says.

Jobs Are Important
To the Editor: Now, ladies
of Melrose ave., let's not be
vindictive. Every man has to
earn a living to the best of
his ability, and they can't all
be good clean jobs. There can
not be fruit without heat of
some kind and I am sure if
you can just be patient a bit
longer all will be taken care
of by the mighty atom-one
way or another.
Right in the same paper
with your letter was an article
pertaining to working out a
solution. I am sure the orch
ard owner, and I know the
orchard laborer, is as anxious
as you to find a better meth
od. The only one who won't
be happy will be the . oil men,
but we can't keep everyone
happy all of the time-can we?
Think of it this way, ladies,
when you are scrubbing and
cleaning you don't have time
to talk about your neighbors
or get into any "idle hands"
mischief. I'll take a little dirt
in order to keep work for the
thousands of men, women and
children who make their liv
ing from our fruit harvests,
both directly and indirectly.

To the Editor: I wish to re

feel is of importance to the
veterans of this community, in
these times of job scarcity.

erans federal employment

have always been of benefit
to veterans familiarizing them
with opportunities in federal
employment as well as in pri
vate industry, with specific in
terest being applied to veter
ans' preference in employ
ment. .

Mills Smoke, Too
To the Editor: After read
ing all the letters sent in to
you about the smudge smoke
I couldn't keep quite any
longer.
Why don't some of you men
who work in the orchard
write in your opinions, in
stead of the ones who don't
know very much about it?
They have been heating with
oil for years and this is the
first time anyone has been
talking so strongly about it,
They talk about the beau
tiful blossoms and pears
which the valley is so fam
ous for. How long would they
be able to say that if they
didn't smudge to keep them
from freezing? The growers
don't enjoy these nights of fir
ing. He has the continuous
worry of the temperature con
trol, not counting the money
it costs him for the oil and
the extra help he has to hire,
even though he doesn't have
to light up.
The pears don't grow on
trees overnight, it takes a
year's hard work, worry and
expense to have a decent
crop and one night's freeze
could destroy it all.
All you people in the valley
enjoy making the money dur
ing the harvest time. So why
yell about the growers when
they have to smudge to save
the crops? If it wasn't for the
fruit and the lumber industry
there wouldn't be very many
people who could afford to
live in the valley in the first
place.
So why not let the orchards
rest for a while and do some
writing in about the mills
around the valley? There is
smoke, noise and sparks that
are a danger that is year
around. '.

circumstances.
He is progressivelly draw
ing favorable attention by
persuasion and calm reason
ableness, where he used to de
mand it by loud threshing
about in the national scene.
He is a world away from the
Nixon who, only short months
ago, led a hotly partisan GOP
Congressional campaign be
cause this seemed the only
possible way to stir the Re
publican sluggards.
There will be here, how
ever, no nonsense about "new
Nixons" and "old Nixons." A
golfer is not a "new" golfer
if on the 14th hole the lie
of the land and of his ball
requires him to put the iron
back in his bag and begin a
series of spoon shots.
rpo watch Nixon these days
approve him or disapprove
him, is to watch a truly vir
tuoso political performance.
The fact that his antennae to
public moods and changing
public attitudes are extra-or-dinarily
sensitive . has, of
course, long been obvious.
What is now striking is the
way in which Nixon who
underneath is a curiously lone
ly and a one-man operator
is using those fabulous anten
nae to master his great prob
lem for 1960.
On all form, on such "gut"
facts as his present control
of much of the regular GOP
organization, he is the dis
tinct favorite for the 1960
Presidential nomination. No
one, however, is more acutely
aware than is Nixon that Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York already poses a real
threat and might offer a mas
sive threat before convention
time.
The Vice-President's vul
nerability lies in this: He
came up strictly via the route
of controversy, and the sound
est single objection to him is
the fear that he might be a
divisive force in the White
House. To be thought of at
that kind of symbol is, to some
degree, always harmful to a
Presidential contender. To be
seen in that light in 1960, in
a perilous world, probably
would be fatal to him.
THUS, given this as his basic
potential weakness, what
is he doing to strengthen his
position? He. i s presenting
himself as an ever-mellowing
public figure, and he is do
ing a good job of it. He is
staying out of the partisan
fighting that used to occupy
him almost endlessly. He is
equally staying out of such
infighting as there is among
the Republicans who, un
like the Democrats, never for
get that their true antagonists
are not each other but rather
the opposition party.
He is accepting only a very
few speaking engagements,

ings. He is speaking of big
matters like the World Court;
his tone is much the tone of
a man who is already Presi
dent and more interested in
a country than in a party. He
is saying generous things,
even about the Democrats.
These things are meant; for
Nixon whatever his faults,
has no phoniness in him. But
they are the kind of remarks
he never would have uttered
until Rockefeller began to
breathe genially down his
neck. For the Vice-President,
until lately, has been in the
rock-'em, sock-'em school of
politics. One of his old models
in the school was a man not
overfond of him, Harry S.
Truman.
TUT Nixon now follows the
basic techniques not of
Truman but of Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Roosevelt main
tained power largely by tying
himself close to great all-national
issues. This, and not
merely his famous personal
ity, enabled him to sustain a
quite illogical coalition be
tween conservative Southern
planters and Detroit auto
workers.
Nixon, in sum, is now be
coming what he always would
have preferred to be, an issue
politician a s distinguished
from a personality politician.
This probably explains h i s
improving place in the polls.
He has decided that the pub
lic is already a bit tired of
the "old faces" including
Nixon'-s. And he knows that
in any personality contest
with Nelson Rockefeller he
would be1 fighting in the
wrong field. He is, therefore,
moving to force Rockefeller
to engage him in quite anoth
er fie'd the field of largely
impersonal issues.
The odds are at least even
that before it is over Rocke
feller will find himself play
ing in Nixon's ballpark.
