Demands
Every job has its compensations as well as its
drawbacks. Both are magnified by the importance
oi the job.
The position in this
has the most of both of
drawbacks is that oi .President oi the u.b.

decision-making, of simply , finding the time to
inform himsplf nn the manv. manv thinsrs on

which he must be prepared to make hard deci-
sions. Un him, more than any other single man m
the nation is the burden of carrying this country
forward, seeing to its defense, its economic sta
bility, its progress in material things.
THE rewards, too, are
tives whose annual salaries are far greater than
that of the President of
But there are compensations more important
than money. Such things
spect even adulation are heady pay for any
human being, and they go, in great measure, with
the job, even when unearned.
It is often difficult

those who respect and honor the man.
THE job of a member
There is the same need to be informed on a
thousand subj'ects, to find
the demands upon him for a thousand acts of as
sistance and courtesy,
make decisions, often upon admittedly inade
quate evidence, and often on issues which are far
from clear-cut.
One of the best descriptions of the j'obs of a
congressman particularly a "freshman" was
given by Charles 0. Porter, representative from
Oregon s fourth district,
floor of the house and reprinted in- the Congres
sional Record of April 10.
(Congressman Porter was alloted 30 minutes.
Presumably this was at the end of the day when
most business of the house was out of the way,
and also, presumably, it was done at least m part
to get it into the Record. Reprints of the Record
are available, and serve as a handy mail-out
ill I At 1 S 1
piece, to the beneiit oi
constituent.)
OIS talk, far too long for reproduction here,
mourned the lack of a book telling a freshman
congressman what he needs to know.
While there is no such book, Porter's talk is a
good start at one. It recounts the many demands
on a member's time, intelligence, integrity, humor
and stamina. It tells of the hazards of becoming
self-important, and forgetting that honors are
paid to the office, not to the man.
It tells of the need for competent staff, an
understanding and helpful wife, the necessity for
regular exercise.
DORTER tells of his growing respect for his
A colleagues, and for the professional people
who assist the congress and its members. He
speaks of the ways in which a member can keep
in touch with his district through press, radio
and TV reports, newsletters, by knowing the
newsmen who represent papers in his district, and
by personal visits.
He acknowledges the need for a record of
work for his district so
remembering that as a congressman he also has
a responsibility for national policies and welfare.
Through it all, one wonders how any man can
take such a beating, and come back for more. Yet
Porter gives the impression that he is doing exact
ly what he wants to do, and enjoying every minute
of it. E.A.
Legislative Pay
Very mixed feelings
passed by the legislature this wTeek to increase the
pay of members of the legislature from $600 an
nually to $175 per month.
We approve of the purpose of the bill, whole
heartedly, for the $600 we have long felt to be a
shoddy disgrace to the state. No member of the
legislature can afford to serve unless he or she
has some outside source of income which severe
ly limits who can serve.
But the people of the state, in 1950, voted.the
$600 figure, and last year turned down a pro
posal to increase that amount.
TT IS understood that a

But in view of the fact that the people voted
on the $600 figure as a flat amount in 1950, and
refused to increase it, we hardly see how the su
preme court could rule it was the voters' intent to
make it a minimum figure.

Matter of Fact
WHAT WILL
ROCKEFELLER DO?
New1 York Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller is seraphically
non - committal when he is
asked ques
tions about
his plans for
1960. He is
emphatic on
one point, that
he will not
leave New
York State for
any political
purpose until
Joseph Alsciu t " e e n u uj.
1959; but he will not look
further ahead, to the year
when many people expect him
to fight Vice President Nixon
for the Republican Presiden
tial nomination.
When a politician is giving
such a splendid imitation of
an amiable oyster, it is prob
ably unfair as well as im
prudent to try to read a
meaning into his taciturnity.
All the same, this reporter is
prepared to offer a tentative
forecast of the course Rocke
feller will follow.
Past performance helps the
political handicapper even
more than the fellows who
work for the race tracks; and
this forecast is based on
Rockefeller's past perform
ance. In the glamour of the
final Rockefeller victory over
Averell Harriman, too many
people have forgotten that the
New York Governorship race
looked neither easy nor tempt
ing when Rockefeller decided
to enter it. The way Rocke
feller made this hard deci
sion of the past indicates the
way he is likely to make the
hard decision that lies ahead.
IN BRIEF, Rockefeller went
into t h nnvprnrtr:lim
race like a bold gambler, but
like the kind of bold gambler
who is careful even in his
boldness. He decided in ad
vance that it was worth chal
lenging Harriman if the odds
were three to two against
him, but that he would not
issue a challenge if the odds
were more than three to two.
He then financed an extreme
ly comprehensive statewide
poll. The poll, taken early in
the summer of 1956, showed
that if a Harriman-Rockefeller
election could have been held
the next morning, Harriman
would have got 60 per cent of
the vote and Rockefeller
would have got 40 per cent.
Rockefeller remarked at
the time that a single percent
age point more for Harriman
would have dissuaded him
from making the race. The
poll's result, in fact, indi
cated -the heaviest adverse
odds that he was willing to
accept. On this basis, he took
the final decision to enter the
race, with results that made
political history.
IF YOU weigh the implica
tions of this remarkable
story, you will see why the
friends of the Vice President
are being much too optimistic
about Governor Rockefeller's

intentions. As suggested in a
previous report, it is perfect
nonsense to say that Nelson
Rockefeller won't seek the
Republican nomin a t i o n in
1960, because he will want to
wait until 1964." On the con
trary, one can be reasonably
confident Gov. Rockefeller
will seek the 1960 nomination
with all the fervor and en
thusiasm of Wendell Willkie
in 1940 - but only if careful
tests suggest that he has a
reasonable chance to get the
nomination.
Everything will depend on
those advance tests, for Rocke
feller is no Stassen or Ke-
fauver, ready to begin run
ning for the Presidency when
ever a bell rings, like one of
Pavlov's dogs. But a fight for
delegates is very different
from an appeal to the New
York electorate. Hence Rocke
feller will probably be ready
to buck the odds even more
boldly in 1960 than in 1958
It is a fair guess that he will
attempt a Willkie-style can
didacy if he thinks he has one
chance in three of being nomi
nated. The question about Rocke
feller's future, in short, is
really a question about what
the Republican odds will be
in January and February of
1960. That question, in turn,
divides into at least four sub
questions, as follows:
"FIRST, will President Eis-
enhower be willing to use
all the resources of the White
House in support of Vice
President Nixon? The Vice
President has invited such
support by gagging down his
doubts about such major is
sues as the defense program.
Yet the answer is probably in
the negative.
Second, will the public
opinion polls have created the
impression that "Nixon is a
loser?" No one can say, but
this is what the Vice Presi
dent fears most.
Third, will Nixon already
have iron-clad commitments
for a majority of the potential
Republican delegates?? Again,
the answer is probably in the
negative, although Nixon is
working hard and skillfully
to this end.
Fourth, will Rockefeller's
performances in the New
York Governorship look im
pressive and attractive? One
can only say that Rockefeller
is laboring day and night to
turn in a good performance.
And as one reviews the four
questions, one must conclude
that Rockefeller's final de
cision is most likely to be de
termined by the answer to
question number two above,

Unemployment Problems
To the Editor: Unemploy
ment legislation recently pass
ed in Salem viciously discrim
inates against the low wage
earner and those who are un
able to find steady employ
ment. Most everyone desires
job security and a decent
wage.
The capitalist dictators
want several million unem
ployed to fill seasonal part
time jobs, such as packing
house, construction and for
estry. It would be impossible
for any such persons to re
ceive compensation under
present Oregon low. Oregon
state has never taken advan
tage of the federal extension,
as has California. Is there
not some way America's for
gotten millions can have a
little say in government? An
individual must make at least
$1,250 a year to qualify.
Many workers with job sen
iority do not go along with
the unemployment compensa
tion program. When I was
steadily employed I gladly
paid my share of the insur
ance when it was paid by
employees. Persons with a
steady job should have a kind
enough heart to help their
less fortunate brother.
The labor unions and capi
talists' had their lobbyists in
Salem;' as usual the capitalists
won out.
The term "jobless pay" al
ways used by the Republican
press is misleading. Could
they not say "unemployment
compensation?" School teach
ers receive pay for the three
vacation months and are al
lowed to work on other jobs.
Unemployed workers help
support the schools and pay
taxes. There is too much Job
hogging by persons with gov
ernment or .capitalist pull.
If the state of Oregon is to
grow and prosper it must
help the newcomers get a
start by more liberal works
programs and human unem
ployment compensation laws.
Even though I made $1136.70
in 1957 I could not qualify.
There are more workers than
jobs. Figures don't lie, some
are certain to be hogged out.
In closing I want to warn
the American people to be
ware of news bulletins origin
ating in Washington and
Salem by capitalist dictators,
purposely worded to confuse
and mislead.

Problems of Children
To the Editor: The point
raised by Dr. Walter Alvarez
in his recent syndicated col
mn about women with worth
less husbands who can't get
help when they need it from
the professional "do-gooders"
who are too busy maintaining
their positions, and the recent
case of Mrs. Maxine Click
here, draw a striking parallel.
As you no doubt can guess,
there are many women in this
county, as well as all over the
United States, with similar
problems. It seems strange to
me that the welfare officials
and courts are so anxious to
just duck these cases when
they come up, instead of help
ing the children who are inno
cent victims and can do noth
ing about it. You know as
well as I do that these offi
cials can do what should be
done anytime they care to
stick their necks out a little
and assume some of the re
sponsibility which goes with
their office.
You may also know as well
as I do that they just want
"of ,the hook" as easily as
possible. From personal ex
perience I know this to be
true. I can prove it anytime.
It seems foolish to me to
use welfare money just to put
on a show and provide a dole
for some people who are noth
ing but deadbeats, while their
children actually are neglect
ed and harmed by having to
live with it. If society owes
children a chance,, it is right
to see that they get it. It is
possible to do it, but it isn't
easy. I guess that is why no
body does it.

The Gold Fever
To the Editor: Just 101
years ago, my father, Jack
Brandon, was employed by a
railroad company at Joliet,
111. He was satisfied with his
work but his mind was in
far distant California dig
ging gold. He was told there
was gold and plenty of it in
California. Both his wife and
he had caught the "Gold
Fever." They decided to cross
the plains in a covered wagon
and get to the beautiful cli
mate and state of California
and be happy. They made the
trip across the plains in 1858.
Gold was not too plentiful
and was hard to get, but they
dearly loved California. It
took over yar to break the
gold fever.
We wish the good and cour
ageous people in the seven
covered wagons who left In
dependence, Mo., April 19
success and a good time on
their trip to Oregon. They
are doing a lot to help out
the Centennial year. God
bless them.

Hair, Anyone?
To the Editor: Every time
I pick up a magazine it seems
someone else has a product
which is supposed to prevent
a receding hair line or ac
tually restore your lost hair
to some degree.
A lot of these advertisers
aren't as interested in pre
venting hair loss as they are
in obtaining your hard-earned
money.
Being that I myself fall
into the category of having
thinning hair and will grab
at anything at all that is of
fered to prevent it or even
restore some of it, has made
me quite susceptible to such
advertising.
I feel quite certain many,
many others of us fall into
this category. In an effort to
be of service to the American
people, by finding out actual
lv what can and what can
not be done, I plan to publish
a book on thinning hair and
baldness containing actual
facts, case histories, statistics
and ideas acquired from the
American public as well as
from doctors and other
sources.
You can also aid if you
yourself have triecf s o m e
thing for your hair which
proved to be successful, or
was unsuccessful", by writing
a brief summary of what you
did and the results you ob
tained plus any other ideas
you might have and sending
them to me. If your summary
is published you will receive
a free copy of the book when
it is published. If your sum
mary adds to the statistics of
the book, a summary of some
of the important facts reveal
ed about thinning hair and
baldness in the book will be
sent to you at no cost.
Let's hear from you!

A Suggestion
To the Editor: We are
among the many householders
complaining about the
smudge, but realize the ne
cessity for protecting the orch
ards and the inability of
some orchardists to invest in
smudgeless heating.
There is one suggestion for
eliminating the problem that
has not been mentioned. Why
can't each of us keep a com
plete and honest account of
all cleaning, painting, etc.
that we must do or have done
this spring because of the
smudging and contribute a
like amount to a fund to as
sist the orchardists in pur
chasing smokeless heaters be
fore next spring?
Our donations would be
amply returned in the years
to come by elimination of the
smudge and its accompanying
evils, including the annual
clean-up.

THE GERMAN
AMBASSADOR
Last week the German Em
bassy in Washington publish
ed an address delivered by
the German
A m b a ssador
in which he
replied to a
series of ar
ticles which I
wrote recently
on the Two
Germanys and
Berlin. Dr.
Grewe argues
his case fairly
and in good temper. But the
sum and substance of his plea
is that all proposals for nego
tiations thus far are bad, and
that any change from the sta
tus quo would be a change
for the worse.
In my view it is a dismal
and defeatist attitude to in
sist that it is not possible to
improve, that it is possible
only to worsen, the present
situation. Moreover, even if
this were true, it is a counsel
of despair. For it is sheer
fantasy to suppose that the
present situation can be main
tained as it is for the indefin
ite future.
TV-' GREWE who, besides
" being Ambassador, is a
principal legal advisor to his
government, goes so far as to
declare that "every new
treaty arrangement on Berlin
can only worsen the situa
tion."
"Every" is a big word. Why
does he use it? Because, he
says, "if you negotiate a new
treaty basis with the Soviets
for Western presence in and
Western access to Berlin, you
concede, first of all, that it is
within the power of the Soviet
Union to grant such rights to
the West."
This is a strange argument.
Why does a new statute or
treaty about Berlin have to
make any such preposterous
concession to the Soviet Un
ion? Why cannot the new
statute or treaty recognize
and reaffirm the right of the
Western Allies to be present
in Berlin? To argue that
"every new treaty arrange
ment" can only surrender our
rights in Berlin, that no new
treaty arrangement can for
tify our rights, is not a legal
or political proposition. It is
a political neurosis engend
ered by profund self-distrust.
.
IT IS, moreover, a diplomatic
blunder. For it ignores the
fact of the great change in
the Soviet position between
November of last year and
March of this year. In the
Soviet note of Nov. 27, 1958,
the U. S. S . Reasserted that
the Four Power Occupation
Agreement of 1944 and 1945
had become "null and void."
On March 19, just a few
weeks back, Mr. Khrushchev
declared that the Western gov
ernments "have lawful rights
for the deployment of troops
as occupiers." Surely, it
would be a mistake not to
propose that this is put in
writing.
It would not do us anything
but good to have our lawful
rights clarified and reaffirm
ed. For there is considerable
confusion about them. The
State Department lawyers
have been talking about our
being in Berlin by "right of
conquest." But according to
Dr. Grewe himself the right
of conquest does not exist. It
"has been overruled by the
common declaration of the
victorious allies that they did
not intend the annexation of
''''ffilter

Aoon from th Courthouse
FRANK MORGAN . HAROtD SNODGRASS, FUNERAL DIRECTORS

Lippmann
Germany (declaration regard
ing the defeat of . Germanv.
June 5, 1945)." Considering all
this, there is good reason, it
seems to me. for taking ad
vantage of Air. Khrushchev's
admission to tidy up our legal
position.
TUT THAT Is by no means
the only or the most im
portant reason for negotiating
a new statute. A very sub
stantial reason is that it would
afford the chance to correct
our past mistakes, to make
precise the exceedingly loose
and vague documents under
which we, the allies, and also
the West German civilians
deal with West Berlin. In my
view, the Western powers will
be very unwise indeed if they
do not consolidate the legal
position in West Berlin be
fore the Soviet government
makes a peace treaty witk .
the East German state.
A clarification of the right
of access to West Berlin,
based on the recognition of
our lawful right to be in Ber
lin, would be an infringement
on, not a worsening of, the
status quo. What we must not
forget is that although the
nerves of the West Berliners
are good, they are not super-
humanly good, and they mus
not be counted upon for an in
definite future in which there
is no hope of getting out of
the strategic trap in which
they have to live, for a future
in which their daily life de
pends on imprecise and fra
gile agreements.
In my view, if the Western
nations mean to defend the
freedom of West Berlin, they
must obtain for West Berlin
a constitution which rests not
only on the military power of .
the West but also upon the as-,
sent and approval of the
whole society of nations.
IT IS for this reason that I
think we should take the
new statute of Berlin to the
General Assembly of the
United Nations. There are
many, I know, who do not
like the United Nations, and
believe that it has become an
institution which works
againt the Western countries
with overseas interests. But
there are, I believe, special
reasons for taking the Berlin
statute-after the four powers
have agreed on it-to the U.N.
One of the reasons is, of
course, to make the' enforce-
ment and observance of the
new statute more visible to
the world in general. ' The
strongest reason is that it pro
vides an opportuniy to rea
firm the idea that Germany
will be reunited with Berlin
as it capital.
Practically and morally,
such a reaffirmation is, I be
lieve, needed. The world in
general, and the Germans in
particular, will not put much
faith in any declaration about
German unity which is made
by the Allies alone. For it is
well known that the Western
allies have adjusted them
selves very comfortably to the'
partition of Germany, and
that their hearts are not in
the reunification,

Schumann heard on his
automobile radio that he had
won a prize in the weekly
national lottery. He became
so excited he skidded into a
tree. Schumann said the prize
money is exactly enough for
a new car.
