Low Water
The Grants Pass Courier and the Coos Bay
limes editorialize the same day on the low stage
of the flow of water in Rogue river. The Courier
brands it a serious situation, and regards it as a
threat to fish life and a menace to the supply of
irrigation water. The Times notes that low water
on the lower Rogue hampered the boat racet
Agness, and complains
perature is slowly rising. It attributes the trouble
to increasing use of irrigation water upstream and
foresees more diversion
The Grants Pass Courier cites the situation
as proof of the need for dams and spillways.
' .
THERE is no presently practical way of in-
creasing the rainfall and thus providing more
runoff; but the people of the Rogue River basin
have been offered programs for dams to hold
back flood water for later release, plans prepared
both by the Reclamation Bureau and the Corps
of Engineers. So long as they and outside par
tisans keep scrapping nothing will be done and
the Rogue may continue
for multiple use.
Obviously the thing to do is to go ahead with
upstream storage dams. If they don't those pre
cious fish in the Rogue may die of thirst. Salem

Two Millions for Nothing
The damage claim of the Dixon-Yates syndi
cate against the United States Government which
the United States Court of Claims has just upheld
leaves the Eisenhower Administration in a thor
oughly ironical position.
Here is an economy-preaching Administra
tion, which has scrimped on resource develop
ment, public education, national defense and
many other items, called on to pay out $1,867,545
for absolutely nothing in return a complete
waste of money. Here is an Administration which
promised to bring business methods to Govern
ment penalized to the tune of nearly two mil
lions by its own bungling. -.
POR the Dixon-Yates case has been a bungle
from beginning to end. President Eisenhower
ordered the contract in 1954 to produce private
power to replace power the Tennessee Valley
Authority was supplying to the United States
Energy Commission and President Eisenhower
canceled the contract in 1955 when it became too
hot to handle.
The Administration through its Department
of Justice then attacked, as against the public
interest, the contract it had commanded the TVA
and the AEC to sign as being in the public inter
est. The legal attack was based on the contention
that Wall Street Banker Adolphe Wenzell was
guilty of conflict of interest for serving the Gov
ernment and his firm at the same time. If there
was any conflict, it had been carefully arranged
within the Administration itself.
AT THE same time as his Attorney General was
attacking the canceled contract in court,
President Eisenhower continued to defend it at
press conferences, aided by his then chairman
of the ' EC, Lewis L. Strauss.

Jnsph Alsop uon.
One little climatic sign, for
instance, is the derisive bitter
ness that has been provoked
by the special assignment fdr
t ? Republican convention
that has been given to the
New York State Chairman L.
Judson Morhouse. A couple
of weeks ago, Morhouse got
the word from he Republican
National committee, which is
completely controlled by sup
port -rs of Vice President
P'chard M. Nixon.
The word came, out of the
blue as it were, in a letter
from the Nw Jersey Nation
al Committeewoman, Mrs.
Web ter Todd. Mrs. Todd
wrote Jhat she was so glad
Morhouse was going to serve
with her . the committee oh
Program and Music.
'IDES choosing the en
tertainers and the musical
selections to while -iway the
delegates' empty hours, this
committee has some say about
more important matters, such
as -the choice of keynote
speaker. Nonethless, the as
signment did not seem quite
in keeping with Morhouse's
standing as party chairman
in N"w York stte. And it
did not fit 'n very weU, eith
er, with Morhouse's hopes
to drive a Rockefeller steam
roller into the convention
hall.
Another, much more major
sign is the vivid interest one
encounters her abouts in the
great topic of political pri
maries. Interest in primaries
is a common symr torn in can
didates who 'iope to win nom
inations because they are the
people's rather than the poli
ticians' choice. Vice President
Nixon is quite obviously the
politicians' choice. Hence
Governor Rockefeller will
have to be nominated as the
choice of the people, if he is
to be nominated at all.
The argument about pri
maries between the governor
and his entourage is rather
closely linked 'o the other ar
gument, already reported in
this space, about the desir
ability of the governor going
out and beginning to work
actively for the nomination in
the months that lie just ahead.

likely he made in the various
state prim-ries. His name has
been entered in New Hamp
shire, but he has not with
drawn it. Maybe he will do so
in the end, but it must be said
that the governor visibly de
lights i i th mere idea of pri
mary campaigning, with "U
its exciting rough and tumble
and rich, unending contacts
with the voting masses.
The story does not end,
either, with tPi obvious rel
ish for a form of activity that
fills Vice President Nixon
with pale distate, In the
Rockefeller ento'iraf e r w
adays, those terrible words,
"the California primary," are
to be heard with surprising
frequency.
The point is that the vice
President's own state holds
the last and most open of all
the state primaries. If Cover
nor Rockefeller challenges
him in California itself, the
Vice Pr sident can hardly
dodge the challenge. If Gov
ernor RockefeUer were then
to win the primary, the effect
on the Nixon fortunes would
be downright catastrophic.
These are in fact the reasons
why the Vice President has
given much time in recent
months to strengthening his
California fences.
NONETHELESS, the idea of
entering the California
primary is at least being
played with, if not yet serious
ly considered, by the Gover
nor and his adv'sers. There
could be no clearer. proof of
the important change that has
taken place here. The change
is in the nature of the argu
ment in the Rockefeller camp.
It is no longer about whether
to make a bid for the nomina
tion, but insead concerns
how best to make the strong
est bid.
In these circumstances, one
would normally make a flat
prediction of an eventual
active and avowed Rockefel
ler candidacy. The prediction
must be conditional, however,
because the Governor, who is
a realist, has squarely faced
the central -fact ;n his own
situation. TL's is the fact that
he can only be nominated if
he looks much more like a
winner than the Vice Presi
dent. So far the public opinion
polls have not made Rockefel
ler look more like a winner.
If he cannot change this situ
ation, "".ockefeller knows he
has no chance. But if he can
change it-and he is clearly
going to try-an epic Nixon-
Rockefeller battle for the
nomination will surely be in
cluded in next year's list of
excitements.

the White House Cabinet over
Vio ciyp shane and tone of
next year's Federal budget.
Already, the highest figures
within the Eisenhower Ad

wearily to discuss this hardy
nprpnnial.
In Russia, the Vice Presi
dent served as middleman be
tween President Eisenhower
an Nikita Khrushchev. In
Washington, now his task is
thisr to find and maintain a
politically strong position
ahmit midway' between
"spenders" like Arthur Flem
the Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, and
"savers" like Secretary of the
Treasury Robert Anderson.
THE whole of the Cabinet,
according to what some of
its members have just toia
this correspondent, is either
frankly pro-Nixon for 1960 or,
at worst, certainly friendly
toward his nomination for the
Presidency. The Vice Presi
dent, nevertheless, is in a pe
culiarly delicate situation on
the last budget to be prepared
by the Eisenhower Adminis
tration. No matter what sort
of budget it turns out to be,
Eisenhower has nothing to
gain or to lose. For he is bow
ing out of public life.
But Nixon has everything
to gain or to lose, as the man
who frankly presents himself
as the President's inevitable
heir apparent.
Army, Marines to
Get New Missile
Washintgon-OJPD-The Army
and Marines are , going to
equip infantrymen with a new
guided missile designed ' to
knock down low-flying com
bat planes.
Sketchy details of the new
weapon, called "the Redeye"
were disclosed and test models
were shown as part of the
annual three-day meeting here
of the Association of the U. S.
Army.
The Redeye looks like a
World War II anti-tank ba
zooka. The weapon, fired from
the shoulder, has an infra-red
"heat seeker" in its nose
which will carry it to a straf
ing or bombing airplane that
gets within range.
The Redeye and its launch
er weigh 20 pounds. The
weapon is four feet long.
The Army has awarded a
six-million-dollar contract to
develop the weapon to Con

plant.

S. WHITE
The Vice President cannot,

associate himself in any im
portant way from the "hold-
the line" spending policy to
which Eisenhower 15 determ
ined to cling through the
twilight of his tenure. Nixon
months ago . took a decision
that he would sustain this
stand.
ALL the same, the Vice
President has every inten
tion to avoid being identified
with fiscal policies having
any strongly Old Guard Re
publican flavor. What the gov
ernment does and does not
do in various Welfare ' fields
between now and the 1960
election will be actually more
his concern than that of any
body else. For it will hurt or
help him more than anybody
6ls6.
Whatever the final 1961
budget, he will be stuck with
it, as a part of the regime
that will have made it. Thus
his basic necessity is to con
trol the shaping of that budget.
And within this central
strategy his operations will
be complicated. He must not
seem to propose any flat re
pudiation of Eisenhower's
passionate devotion to budget
balancing. He must not, on
the other hand, allow the new
budget, if he can help it, to
indicate that its sole reason
for being is to save money,
come what may.
For Nixon's prospective
rival for the 1960 Presidential
nomination, Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York, is
not committed to any Federal
budget, either the present one
or the coming one. Rockefel
ler will be free to go entirely
his own way on all budget
questions - and free to nail
Nixon on any shortcoming in
the new budget.

aware of this than is the
Vice President.
Thus, it may be predicted
with full confidence, he will
now set about a very delicate
approach to mix Flemming
attitudes with Anderson at
titudes and so to fix upon a
budget that will not be too
bie but will not pinch too
much in the wrong places.
The substance of the prob
lem is to keep a reasonaDie
ceiling on the total budget,
but, working wittun tnose
limits, to accentuate spend
ing in some welfare categories
and to cut it down in less
sensitive areas.
One of Nixon's most power
ful friends suggests that this
is not so impossibly difficult
as it might look. At any rate,
it will surely not be easy; and
it is what the Vice President
must now accomplish.

two reasons: It would aid the
