Having been the founder of one PTA organ

THE CONTEST FOR KEEPS
Washington - If we take it,
as nearly everyone seems to
agree, that. Mr. Khrushchev
does not want war and does
not intend to give up his goal
of a Communist - dominated
world, what does he want and
how does he propose to get it?
These are two of the ques
tions we will need to answer
if we are going to enter vig
orously, not concede by de
fault, the kind of contest-for-
keeps for which Mr. K.i with
rambunctious confidence, has
land down the challenge. ,
Mr. Khrushchev says he
wants two things: (a) ."peace
ful co-existence and (b) non
interference in the internal
affairs of other nations."
We can begin by under-
standing that he doesn't want
the second of these two things
- except for us. He doesn't
believe in Cc-nununist non-interference
in the internal , af
fairs of other nations. He
showed what he meant by
"non-intereference" in Hun
gary three years ago and re
cently he showed that he ex
pects other Communist coun
tries to interfere in internal
affairs when Moscow opposed
the United Nations' indulging
even in a mild debate on Red
China's little . interference in
Tibet. -
Adlai Stevenson and Wal
ter Lippmann, who have tried
to pin down Mr. Khrushchev
on this point, found that with
the Kremlin, "non-interference"
is a one-way commit
ment. They found that in real
ity what he wants is for us
to let the Soviets alone to run
the Communist world and for
us- not to interfere with the
Communists when they stir
things up in the non-Commu
nist world.
So it is wise to assume that
Soviet talk about non-interf er-
ence is eye-wash. -
AS TO THE other objective,
Mr. Khrushchev undoubt
edly wants to avoid war. On
this point he is revising the
'immutable laws" of the sci
ence" of Marxism-a revision
ist, no less. He is saying that,
contrary to Lenin, a war be
tween the "democratic capi
talist" states and Communist
Russia is no longer "inevita
ble." As Prof. Louis J. Halle
has pointed out, if such a war
is no ' longer inevitable; it
never was "inevitable." So the
inevitability of war" is one
of the Marxist-Leninist, falla
cies.
If Mr. K. finds Lenin wrong
on this proposition, he may,
in due course, find him wrong
on others.
There is every reason why

traveling abroad. Roscoe Drumond
we should take up Mr. Khru
shchev on the substance of
what he is proposing as long
as we are not misled by term
inology. "Peaceful co - exis
tence" isn't going to be en
tirely peaceful; that is, it isn't
going to be comfortable or co
operative or painless. And it
isn't aimed, as we would see
it, at "co-existence." A more
accurate phrase of what Mr.
Khrushchev is talking about
is " victory for Communism
without war."
That is a sane contest-for-keeps
if the Soviets are will
ing to conduct it on some
agreed ground rules without
the pervasive peril of war. It
could cut back the arms race
to the advantage of both sides,
if the Soviets want it enough
to accept meaningful inspec
tion.
THE contest-for-keeps with
Communism will be eco
nomic and political. It is use
ful, therefore, to have the
stark warnings from the re
ports of the Committee for
Economic Development and
from the testimony of AUen
Dulles of the Central Intelli
gence Agency that it is entire
ly possible for the Soviet Un
ion to catch up with the U. S
in industrial capacity in the
next ten years.
But it is important that we
do not fix our minds on the
wrong end of the problem
The danger is not primarily
what the Soviets can do. It is
wha we could fail to do. The
danger is not primarily the
size of the Soviet economy, or
its growth rate. We wiU not
lose by what they do but only
by what we could fail to do,
What will count is how we
manage ana direct our re
sources to meet the challenge
We can welcome the prospect
of a better life for the Russian
people.
This is why Secretary Her
ter is saying that "we must
realize that the fateful com
petition with Communism has
placed a first claim on the
energy and interests of all of
us."
And we ourselves and oth
ers will need to realize that
this is not primarily a contest
between the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers and the
planners in the Kremlin but
between Thomas Jefferson
and Karl Marx-between free
dom and abundance on one
side and regimentation and
abundance on the other.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
DELICATE CAMPAIGN
New York Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller is running an aU-or-nothing
political campaign
of an exceed
ingly strange
kind. The
thing is as
delicate as
reaching for a
moonbeam in
a darkened
room.
Of course,
Roc kefeller
"whit"8" wants very
much to be the 1960 Republic
an Presidential nominee. And,
of course, he knows there is
only one way to seize this
prize tp wrest it away from
Vice-President Richard Nix
on. - ,,.,.... .
But through the nature of
the problem can be so simply
stated, the approach to the
problem is one of profound
complications. Nixon is, after
all, a big part of a Republic
an administration which
Rockefeller himself once serv
ed. Nixon is top associate to
a President, Mr. Eisenhower,
whom Rockefeller respects,
both for his office and as
head of the Republican party.
AND , Rockefeller himself,
make no mistake about it,
is an authentic Republican. He
is no Old Guardist, true. But
he is also not one of those
hyphenated Republicans who
are really only concealed
Democrats.
There is a fairly "liberal"
glint in Rockefeller's eye, yes.
But he is not nearly so "lib
eral" as to be prepared to
assist the Democrats by rend:
ing the GOP in an election
year with ill-timed attacks on
Nixon.
This is one of the reasons
the Governor has decided
that he personally, at any
rate, will not participate in
the chant, "Nixon can't win."
It is also one of the reasons
Rockefeller is not already try
ing to force absolutely lear
cut divisions on issues with
Nixon. He doesn't want to
make issues simply for the
sake of talking. Nor can he
actually afford to make them
if he must make them at the
expense of flatly denouncing
the Eisenhower Administra
tion itself of which Nixon
is, as yet at least, an insepar
able part.
ALL the same, Rockefeller's
support of the Administra
tion is pot, and in conviction
cannot be, total and uncritical,
lake the present supreme
question of cold war policy,
Rockefeller is not in favor of
"inflexibility." Nor is he op
posed to all efforts to nego
tiate with the Russians. But,
in this correspondent's firm
impression, the Governor is as
close to some of the views of
former President Truman and
former , Secretary of State
Dean Acheson as to those of
Mr. Eisenhower.
That is, Rockefeller is
afraid of negotiations unless
they are based on a rising
rather than a falling Amer
ican power in this world. And
it is obvious he feels. Amer
ican leadership today is not
a very challenging one
specifically that it is not of
fering too much of freshness
and vigor either in world or
domestic policy. :
Rockefeller certainly would
like- and in due time prob
ably wiU try to provoke a
high debate with Nixon over
cold war policy. He is, how
ever, a man with a marked
sense of responsibility under
lying that famous grlrt the
detached observer concedes
him this. He has no wish to
shoot from the hip in such
an area.
AND Rockefeller's people
feel, with some justifica
tion, that Nixon has thus far
not offered much opportunity
for a stand-up-and-be-counted

make it a little difficult on
an opponent to find and fix

Nixon cannot fairly be call

needs a campaign of very

does not come up to such a

this far it is not easy to force

O.K.-"he who laughs last

Most of us know that pen
icillin is derived from molds.
Probably some of us remem
ber that great grandmas used
to save scraps of bread in a
stone jar and let them mold
to use for poultices for
wounds, boils, etc. I wonder
how they knew. I have had
plenty of acquaintances with
bread and milk, poultices in
the past.
But nowdays we must run
to the doctor with every min
or ailment to be treated in
the modern way; just as the
foods must have the modern
treatment, even though it is
sometimes fatal.
Perhaps most of you re
member when a few years
ago here, some little boys
were playing with some
spray cans. One little fellow
spilled the parathion on, his
overalls. And he was dead
before sundown.
And people in every state
that use it are still dying
from it alone, not to mention
deaths from many other
sprays that kill animal and
bird life as well as people.
A person could not be
harmed for life just by eat
ing a certain thing . a few
meals of each year.
There aren't many of our
foods that we eat these days
but what are an accumulative
poison, slow but sure.
Wheat is stored for years
before it is milled. And it has
to be treated to keep it from
spoiling. '
Poultry and stock are
treated with drugs now to
hasten them to market. And
these drugs are poison to
people. Packaged foods have
been treated to keep them un
til sold.
AU of these things could
very well cause cancer and
many other ailments that
there is no known cure for.
Why do- we have . to use
deadly sprays on a little tiny
weeny bug, strong enough to
kill people?
I have poured coal-oil on a

Only Illusion '
To the Editor:' I liked the
skeptical tone of your editor
ial comment (Nov. 16) on the
book "Stranger Than. Sci
ence." If an uncritical enthus
iasm over something like our
Oregon Vortex is a fair sample
of the treatment of all his
subjects, then the truly mar
velous thing about this au
thor's effort is his credulity.
This seems to be as good
an opportunity as I'll ever
have to say something I've al
ways wanted to about the Ore
gon Vortex.
To begin with it is not a
fake, but, the explanation of
fered by the proprietors for
what can be observed there
are nonsense. There are no su
per-normal physical condi
tions (gravitational, magnetic
or whatever) involved. What
is involved is the distortion of
perspective caused by the
skewed-around semi-collapsed
state of the building and some
adroit suggestion on the part
of the guides.
wnen we are in . or near
such a building (especially if
accompanied by someone teU
ing us what we will see) our
habits of seeing, ingrained as
they are by a lifetime spent in
buildings where floors and
ceilings are level and walls
and corners are upright, play
us false. We subconsciously
continue to assume that these
floors are level, that these
walls are uprght and therefore
our conscious interpretation of
what we see becomes erron
eous. A tall man seems short,
a tossed ping pong ball seems
to fall the wrong way. Photo
graphs of these' events don't
prove a thing either, because
we still have to interpret the
contents of the photograph:
Really there is nothing that
can be observed at the Vortex
that has not or cannot be re
produced and photographed in
any well equipped psychologi
cal laboratory devoted to the
study of perception.
In fact the whole repertoire
of the Vortex, plus many well
staged extra attractions, could
be set up for exhibition to
tourists at any location.

TfROM Salem: ,
Half the cars to be pur
chased by the State of Oregon
next month (for the use of
traveling state employees)
will be in the compact sizes.
Of the 80 cars to be bid on in
December, 41 will be with
106-inch wheelbase.
Thought for Mr. T. Payer:
The midget cars will cost
less to begin with. They will
use less gasoline. Their insur
ance cost will be lower. And
so on. -
D'ya reckon the state's car
maintenance costs may be
lowered thus saving Mr. T.
Payer a penny or so?
Maybe so. While there's life,
there's hope.
