more think of saying "the public be damned" (out
loud, anyway) than he would think of cutting his
firm's public relations budget, or deliberately vi
olating the anti-trust laws.
The industrialist of today may not be chasten
ed. But he does know the danger of flaunting the
public, and the public's opinion, for too long
and too flagrantly.
JIMMY-Hof fa should read his history.
For today the philosophy of the "public be
damned" is headquartered, less in the "malefac
tors of great wealth," than in the "malefactors of
great power."
Hoffa and his ilk, if they persist, will bring
upon the labor movement publicly-supported
laws so strong and so restrictive that they will
end forever labor's power to threaten the entire
economy, and, perhaps, labor's present great
power in the political arena.
Some thoughtful labor leaders, and many
thoughtful "rank and filers" of the labor move
ment, know this. But, up to now, they have been
powerless to do anything about it.
CO HOFFA, and his racketeers, goons and bully
boys, constitute the greatest danger to organ
Led labor in many years. .
And his threat of a nationwide general strike
(later unconvincingly disclaimed) is. a threat
against the welfare and
the United States.
The traditional tolerance of the American
people can be pushed only so far, and the public
damned only so long. And in this, we honestly
believe we also speak
decent, union memoers, wno nave more to lose
than most of us in the strongarm tactics of Hoffa
and other malefactors of great power. E.A.
Ridiculous Ruling
Say you own a radio or television station.
Say a politician buys a quarter-hour in which
to air his views while seeking reelecton. And say
another poltician comes along and insists on his
right to buy an equal amount of time.
OK" Ok. V
Say during a political
announcers interviews Politician A, for free, and
Politican B claims he should have equal free time
to air HIS views.
OK? Still ok. 9
DUT SAY that, in the course of your broadcast
ing, you put on a news program which reports
on the newsworthy doings of the governor, or
the mayor, or a senator who happens also to be
seeking reelection.
And say that his opponent, who has done
nothing newsworthy, demands equal time.
OK? No sir.
That is carrying the "equal time" ruling to an
imbecilic and absurd extreme.
A ND YET, by a decision interpreting the "equal
time" provision of the Federal Communica
tions Act, that is what the Federal Communica
tions Commission has ruled.
It arose out of a television news broadcast
which showed the mayor of Chicago, in the course
of his mayoral duties, welcoming the president
of Argentina.
One Lar Daly, who over the years has been a
candidate for about every office in sight (includ
ing the presidency), this year was a candidate
for mayor of Chicago. He saw the news broad
cast, and immediately demanded "equal time,"
on tiie basis of the federal law.
The FCC, by a 4 to 3 decision, said he was
entitled to it.
(Parenthetically, it could be noted that the
FCC once held, in a decision later overturned by
a court, that a station could not censor a political
speech it was broadcasting, but could be held
liable if it contained any defamatory material.)
If the equal time decision stands, it will make
a shambles of news broadcastng, and may, in
deed, serve as a real detriment to the people's
right to know what's going on during a political
campaign. 1
JN SOME jurisdictions it is not unusual to have
a half-dozen or more candidates for the same
office. If, each time one of them is mentioned on
anews broadcast, all the others come around
claiming equal time, news broadcasting is going
to turn into a travesty.
The easiest solution for the station, in such a
case, is to watch its news broadcasts pretty
closely, and perhaps even "censor" them to avoid
such a scramble for free time.
In such an event, the station and the public
it serves will be the loser.
President Eisenhower called the FCC decision
"ridiculous." He was never moreright. E.A.

Neuberger Defends
Position From Blast
By Senator Morse
(Editor's note: The follow
ing letter from Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger is tone of a num
ber sent to editors throughout
the state. In it he defends sev
eral of his positions from ear
lier attacks made by his col
league, Sen. Wayne L. Morse.
His letter has been described
in news stories,N but the fuU
text, although dated May 13,
was unavailable here until
now.)
To the Editor: There has
been some discussion in Ore
gon as to who is causing dis
ruption among Democrats in
Oregon's Congressional dele
gation. I want to call to your
attention a lengthy report
from the Oregon Farmer
Union paper for April, 1959,
describing , a critical attack
made upon me by Sen. Wayne
Morse at a Farmers Union
meeting in the town of Mar
ion on April 11th.
You will note that Senator
Morse has assailed my posi
tion on the following .issues:
1. Bi-partisan foreign policy
generally.
2. Our foreign-aid program.
3. Reciprocal-trade policies.
4. A balanced budget.
- 5. Determination of postage
rates. .
6. Financing of the Inter-
state Highway System.
7. Federal farm price sup
ports.
Perhaps a few of Senator
Morse's charges should be
made to conform to facts. For
example, he is quoted as say
ing that I was the only Sena
tor to oppose his cherry-growers'
amendment which would
have weakened the reciprocal-trade
program, whereas he
knows full welT that his
amendment never became
law.
" Senator Morse has attacked
me on the general question of
foreign aid. He has called me
a "rubber stamp" for the ad
ministration. I realize these
programs are not popular
with certain isolationist
groups. They are easily sus
ceptible to demagoguery.
Despite Senator Morse's
sweeping attack against my
attitude on foreign aid, I find
that I have voted with Sen.
Hubert Humphrey on 53 out
of 57 foreign-aid roU calls
since I became a member of
the Senate and with Sen. Jack
Kennedy on 48 out of 56 foreign-aid
roll calls. Would he
include both these leading
Democratic possibilities for
the Presidency in the vigorous
indictment he has voiced of
my foreign-aid stand?
I think it is pertinent to
note that our foreign aid pro
gram was initiated by two
great Democrats President

George Marshall. Reciprocal

some of the most infuriating traffic snarls on the face of the

their chosen trade, but there
are ways of putting these
mavericks speedily in their

trade was originated by Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Secretary, of State Cor
dell Hull. I do not think it
reasonable or right to turn
against these policies because
a Republican President has
had the wisdom, at least in
these instances, to continue
them.
I likewise regret Senator
Morse's attack on my position
regarding Federal highway
fuel taxes and postal rates.
The Interstate Highway Sys
tem, which includes U.S. 99
and U.S. 30 in Oregon, will
cost $37.5 billion. I think it is
better to pay for these roads
as we go, rather than heaping
deficits on the shoulders of
future . generations and risk
ing further inflation for our
selves. As for postal rates, my ex
perience last year in the bitter
political battle over rate
schedules convinced me that
this issue-should not be deter
mined by political log-rolling.
Therefore I have proposed
that the Post Office depart
ment be ernpowered-subject
to Congressional yeto-to de
termine a fair domestic rate
structure based on sound cost
accounting. The Post Office
department still incurs a defi
cit of about. $522 million a
year. Higher rates are dis
tasteful to me as well as oth
ers. But it is foolish to con
tend that revenue must re
main fixed without taking
into account both general and
specific benefits accruing
from use of the mails. As long
this deficit operation exists,
everybody's withholding and
income taxes are being tapped
for a share of the cost.
Finally, I think my loyalty
to the Democratic party is not
contestable. I have been a
Democrat since I became 21
and registered to vote at the
Lane county courthouse when
I was a student at the Uni
versity of Oregon. My wife
Maurine is likewise a lifelong
Democrat. I can remember
when we were among the
handful of .about a dozen
Democrats in the whole Ore
gon State Legislature and
Senator Morse was stumping
the state against Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman.
But, essentially, I have sent
you this letter and press clip
ping to demonstrate just who
might be causing the dissen
sion in the Democratic party
and in Oregon politics. Sena
tor Morse's attack upon me
took place on April 11. 1 have
not commented upon it until
this time, but I believe you
and your friends are entitled
to know the facts.

The Church Defended
To the Editor: Attacks
against the Catholic church
are not new. The most recent
attack, that of Mr. Roy L.
Laurin speaking on "Religion
and the Presidency" in the
Medford High School audi
torium, cannot be ignored.
Mr. Laurin is a Baptist min
ister, representing the p.nti
Catholic. organization official
ly known as "Protestants and
Other Americans United for
the Separation of Church and
State".
Laurin in his public speech
questioned the patriotism of
Catholics. Stripped of verbi
age, the Laurin statements be
come plainly ridiculous. His
main argument ran something
like this: Senator Kennedy is
a Catholic. A Catholic's first
allegiance is to a foreign pow
er, the Pope of Rome. There
fore, Sentor Kennedy's first
allegiance is to a foreign pow
er, the Pope of Rome. And a
person whose first allegiance
is to a foreign power is unfit
for a public office.
. His argument is logical aft
er accepting the principle
that a Catholic's frst allegi
ance is to a foreign power.
There are two perfect socie
ties, the Church and the State.
Each is supreme and inde
pendent in its own sphere.
The Catholic church has been
created by God for the spirit
ual welfare of all men, especi
ally its members; and the
State is placed over temporal
matters that concern the
common welfare of its citi
zens. When there is a direct
conflict between God's laws
and that of a government,
e.g. Communism, which de
nies the basic God given rights
of man, Catholics obey the su
preme law of God as set forth
in the Bible and Tradition.
Laurin is an advocate of
the separation of Church and
State but he, a Baptist minis
ter, used a public school build
ing to deliver his attack
against the Catholic church.
He also proclaimed freedom
of speech. He did not ask or
give the audience an opportu
nity to ask questions from the
floor either during his talk or
following it. He is opposed to
unethical means of solicitation
of funds. For speaking briefly
he demanded from each lis
tener the sum of $5 to $1,000

to sea, guarding what up to
then had been regarded as the
only feasible invasion route.
But the Japanese hacked then
way through the Malayan jun
gles and attacked from the
rear.
The profound changes in
Asia since the Japanese defeat
in 1945 also have had their
effect on Singapore.
On Aug.. 31, 1957, the Fed
eration of Malaya came into
being as an independent state
inside the British Common
wealth of nations. - ,
Singapore became a Crown
Colony, split off from the Ma
layan states with which it for
merly had been linked in the
straits settlements.
Economically, the Malayan
states and Singapore were
practically an indivisible
whole. But the Malayan fed
eration rejected Singapore out
of fear of its overwhelming
majority of Chinese residents.
Of Singapore's population of
about 1,500,000 nearly 80 per
cent are Chinese.
UPI Man Killed
, But desire for independence
also had been mounting in
Singapore, accompanied by
mounting influence of the Chi
nese Communists.
In 1955, noted Chinese au
thor and scholar Lin Yutang
resigned as chancellor of
Singapore's Chinese Nanyang
University, declaring that Chi
nese schools in Singapore op-
the Catholic church. Mr. Lau
rin's actions betray his words.
The Catholic church does
not seek the union of Church
and State. Here is a statement
of the Most Rev.' John T. Mc
Nicholas, Archbishop of Cin
cinnati on the subject of
Church and State separation:
"No group in America is seek
ing union of Church and
State, and least of all are
Catholics."

To the Editor: Thank , you
for your editorial in regard
to our public school music.
It was only the other day
that I had occasion to write
to a former co-editor of the
American Music Teacher pub
lication in regard to the prog
ress in the music of our pub
lic school system. Had you
been present at the program
of Elementary Voices, Band
and Orchestra given two
weeks ago at Hedrick Junior
High school, you would have
heard "The Oregon Trail" and
other tunes, in celebration of
the Centennial, so well direct
ed that you would have un
doubtedly felt inspired to the
editorial level.
Music in the public school
system had a hard row (pro
nounced two ways) over a
long period of years being
ever-lastingly at the bottom
(or sub-level) of the budget.
More editorials along this
line of thought would cerr
tainly encourage tua teachers
who have slowly but surely
made cultural progress with
but little recognition.

it was told to

me by Nikita
Khrushchev's
local partner, the present lead

Janos Kadar. In his joke to
Kadar, moreover, Khrushchev
went straight to the heart of
the matter with his usual
earthy shrewdness.
To be sure, he did not ad
mit (perhaps because he dared
not admit) that the dilemma
was inescaDable. But of course
the mere absence of Russian
advisors in the ordinary min
istries of the Hungarian gov
ernment is relatively mean
ingless. It does not alter the
harsh fact that the Hungarian
situation is a' colonial situa
tion. In any colonial situation,
the subiect neonle automati

A garian situation is colonial
is plain for all to see. The
sixty or seventy thousand so
viet troops that garrison the
country are rather ruthlessly
confined to their barracks and
training areas. Yet the uni
versal awareness of their half
hidden presence is the one
of the two main props of the
governments authority.
No effort is made to hide
the omnipresent security po
lice, the grim A.VJJ. as every
one still calls them. Their vast
Interior Ministry is the most
conspicuous new building on
the Danube waterfront, and
in that building, there is.no
lack of Russians. Russian of
ficers seconded from the
M.V.D. actually hold top com
mand positions in the A.V.O.
Well-justified fear of the se
cret police, much deeper in
Hungary today than in the
Soviet Union itself, is the
other main prop of the gov
ernment's authority.
In H u ti e a r v. in short.
Khrushchev and Kadar are
now relying on the same in
struments of power that Stalin
and Rakosi relied on. But
Khrushchev and Kadar differ
from Stalin and Rakosi, be
cause they dislike relying -on
these instruments. They want
to make the Communist gov

In the new self-governing

anticipation of a leftist victory
at the polls, both business
establishments and capital are
fleeing the once great fortress.
many Western colonial admin
istrators, with such invariable
failure. They have set out to
improve conditions in Hun
gary. "The first rule of all our'
planning," Kadar told me em
phatically during our long
talk, "is that the standard
of life in this country must
be raised each year." The oth
er point he emphasized most
strongly was the new "real
ism" of Hungarian Commu
nists. "The mistakes of the
past," he repeated again and
again, "were committed be
cause we Communists did not
ct on the facts as they were,
but on the facts as we wanted
them to be."
As one illustration, he cited
the suspension of the cam
paign to collective Hungarian
agriculture. In December, he
said, he had urged the need
to make a new start in agri
culture, because of the un
doubted economic inefficiency
of small plot peasant farm
ing. But in March, he had
taken the lead in calling for
a halt to "consolidate, because
if we had gone further, there
might have been a temporary
drop in farm output."
In other words, conditions
are not merely to be improved
in Hungary. Under Kadar, the
improvements are to be made
in a practical un-doctrinaire
way that will cause the mini
mum of dislocation. After
hearing the boss of Hungary
describe the heavy state in
vestments that are planned for
the new agriculture collec
tives, this reporter is quite
prepared to believe that the
scheme may work. If so, Hun
gary is due for a gradual but
great increase in agricultural
productivity.
a
BY THE same token, it is
entirely believable that the
whole Hungarian Communist
program of improvement and
advance will work in the end.
This is a potentially rich little
country. It is not afflicted
with Poland's fearful popula
tion problem. Since then the
heavy handicaps of the Stalin
Rakosi years have now been
cast off. In short, the rulers
of Hungary will be quite
astonishingly memcienr, u
their program fails.
For all these reasons, the
soft spoken, pleasant manner
ed Kadar is entirely convinc-
ine when he insists, as he
did to me, that he is "going
to make things better in Hun
gary." But his further claim,
that "the political problem in
Hungary will then be solved"
is entirely unconvincing. Ka
dar, unfortunately, is too ob
viouslv the facade and the
A.V.O. are too obviously the
reality.
Unless the whole body of
colonial history is utterly mis
leading, "just making things
better" in order to win a sub
iect DeoDle's , support for a
colonial regime is the political
equivalent of trying to square

JUST IN
CASE!
You'll likely never riava a fire,
But just in case you do.
We'll Guarantee,
You'll never be.
Both broke and homeless too.
