Clumsy Summit Politics
President Eisenhower used a heavy hand
when he announced that Vice President Nixon
might become his stand-in at the summit confer
ence if it goes on too long. Almost anybody could
see partisan politics sticking out of this gesture at
500 paces. The President will be wise if he quietly
shelves the idea.
Ostensibly the announcement was a veiled
warning to Premier Khrushchev to be ready for
business the first week of the talks, scheduled to
open May 16. The President has agreed to visit
Portugal May 23 and 24. If the summit talks are
still going on then, he said, he would either return
to Paris or, if "domestic requirements" necessi
tate a return to Washington, will send Mr. Nixon
in his place.
AS 55 Democratic Congressmen almost in
"stantly made clear with a loud cry of pain, this
did not fool anybody. If the President was warn
ing Khrushchev, he was clearly also revealing an
intention to help Mr. Nixon's buildup as his suc
cessor by identifying him with the summit nego
tiations. From a political standpoint such tactics are
to be expected, and the Democrats might as well
get accustomed to them. Every sitting President
naturally makes use of the advantages of his
position in behalf of himself, or his party in the
election. But wise Presidents recognize a limit,
and Mr. Eisenhower should know that the limit
lies somewhere this side of the summit confer
ence. For the national welfare, these talks should
be kept well clear of partisan politics.
THE Vice President has no constitutional func-
tion whatever to perform at a summit confer
ence. He has no authority and no responsibility
that would make him anything more than an
errand boy. The Secretary of State, as foreign
policy adviser to the President, does have consti
tutional authority. If any stand-in were needed,
Secretary Herter, who is intimately familiar with
the negotiations, ought to fill the role.
But why a stand-in at
are important enough to warrant Mr. Eisenhow
er's sustained attention. They are important
enough not to be hobbled with arbitrary closing
dates. They are even important enough to justify
the President in postponing a purely ceremonial
Portugal visit if need be. bhould the talks be mak
ing important progress at the end of a week, the
President would be betraying his highest respon
sibilities if he allowed anything whatever to in-
teriere with continuing
Dispatch.
Stronger Words Needed
The 1959 Legislature
provides for the replacement of county coroners
with medical investigators under the state Board
of Health. But the Legislature did not provide
the Board of Health with necessary funds to im
plement the program.
Becuse ot this, the
Richard Wilcox (formerly of Pendleton), ap
peared recently before the ' state Emergency
Board to ask for $42,000 to put the program into
operation. After first flatly refusing to give any
funds, the Emergency Board finally appropriated
$10,000 and told Dr. Wilcox to find Jhe addition
al $32,000 within his budget.
WHEN this was under discussion at the Emer
rwinev Rnotvl vnpet.ino trip statp rlil'pot.nv of
finance, Freeman Holmer, charged the board
with "legislative irresponsibility." Later Gov.
Hattield said he supported Mr. rtoimer. s opinion.
So do we. It is irresponsibility that goes much
deeper than refusal by members of the Legisla
ture to appropriate funds for a program which
the Legislature created.
there's more to it than
Wilcox that he should find $32,000 from the
funds given his department for its entire program
the legislators were showing gross ignorance oi
the department's budget, a budget which the
Ways and Means Committee of the Legislature
thoroughly examined before it was approved by
the Legislature.
AT THE time the budget for the state Depart
Vnent of Health was approved by the Legis
lature, Dr. Harold Erickson, predecessor to Dr.
Wilcox, complained, and with good reason, that
it was inadequate. Now, members of the Legisla
ture who sit on the Emergency Board are saying
that the budget has so much fat in it that $32,000
can be found without crippling any services.
If this is so the Legislature did a very poor
job when it prepared the budget for the Depart
ment of Health. And so did the Legislators who
arpproved it.
Legislative irresponsibility is strong criticism.
But not strong enough. This performance, from
beginning to end, deserves much harsher criti
cism. Pendleton East-Oregonian.

Communications
Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of
the writer, although under certain circumstances the use
of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The
Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a
view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted
for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letter
printed in this column do not necessarily represent the
views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case.
A WORD OF
EXPLANATION
Editor's note: The volume
of communications, or "let
ters io the editor," has boon
far above average in recent
weeks, as a glance at the
column will attest. Every
effort is made to print all
those letters which comply
with our simple require
ments, printed in the "box"
above. But letters which
are difficult to read must be
deciphered and typed be
fore they go to the printer,
and this sometimes results
in a delay of several days.
No unsigned letters will be
considered for publication.
Occasionally, one will be
printed without signature,
and Identification kept "on
file," but only when the edi
tor considers the reasons
the writer does not want to
be Identified to be suffi
cient. No letters will be
printed without names and
addresses which cast asper
sions on other individuals,
or, generally, on organisa
tions. Letters in excess of
the 400 word limit will eith
er be returned for conden
sation, or will be cut down
in length by the editorial
staff. No letter which, in
the opinion of the editor, is
vulgar, personally insult
ing, or In bad taste, will be
printed. With these criteria
understood, letters to the
editor on subjects of public
interest are more than wel
come. Stevenson and Morse
To the Editor: Political ex
perts recognize the import
ance of the presidential pri
mary election in the state of
Oregon.
This state can play a key
role in the Democratic conven
tion by sending deleffatrs

end result could be a ticket of
btevenson and Morse, one
hard to beat.

Tom Paine Cited
To the Editor: I wish to
thank you for my letter you
published a few days ago to
which Mr. Beverly made a re
ply. I will not reply to his
letter in detail as I consider
the Bible an unreliable source
of proof, and I will refer him
not exactly as an answer to
his article, but furnish him
with some enlightening facts
in regard to a man who was a
sort of an atheist, although
too, a Deist, but was a martyr
to all humanity. No man de
serves more credit for this
country becoming the United
States, and although ignored
by the clergy and our own
government, it was no other
man the right honorable
Thomas Paine, the atheist.
There are several books he
published, among them the
"Age of Roason" will give
you light on his works and
worth as a man, and religion,
loo, if one wants to look at it
from that standpoint.

Korean Orphans
To the Editor: As a resident
of Medford, where my wife
and children are living at 515
Dakota st. while I am over
seas, I am writing you in
liGpes you will print this so
that everyone that reads the
Mail Tribune may read what I
have to say.
Here in Korea are many or
phanages that take care of
many children that were or
phaned by the war. Also there
are many little ones orphaned
since the war. These orphan
ages are taken care of tjy the
various squadrons in Korea
by voluntary contributions of
the men on pay day.
But we can't give them
everything. We go out twice
a week and help them by fix
ing up their old buildings
and building new ones out of
salvaged material. But this
isn't enough.
What we need is clothing
and shoes from babies sizes up
to 16 year old sizes. It doesn't
have to be new, out should
be In good repair. I am sure
if you have children you
probably have a box of cloth
ing you aren't going to use.
If you haven't clothing a few
yards of cloth and a couple of
spools of thread can be made
into clothing by tnese people.
I m sure if you could make
a trip out to an orphanage
with us and see the smiles and
hear two little ones try to
sing "Jesus Loves Me" and
many other songs, your heart
would go out to them like
mine has.
Anyone that desires to con
tribute to this worthy cause
may send packages to me and
I will see that the clothing
gets to the orphanages. Also
I will try to write to anyone
that sends a package and
send a picture of the children
getting the clothing.

What's His Plan?
To the Editor: Upon listen
ing to the recent television
political speech by Leslie P.
Fleming, 1 was somewhat sur
prised and amazed to know
that there was an active poli
tician still among us, running
on such an ancient and obso
lete platform. Or should I say
"lack of platform?"
I noted from the speech
that he referred to the Vete
rans' Administration as being
"a public charity." However,
nowhere in the speech did he
offer an alternative, a reform,
or ehakeup in the ranks, or
any plan of operation. From
this we can only conclude that
he would Just scrap the V.A.
He would sell those dlsnbled
TOterans to the wolves after
they had preserved democ
racy And made- condition
proermroiie for Mr.' Leslie P.
Fleming, and others.

Khrushchev's Revival
Questions;
By PHIL MEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
Soviet Premier Niltita Khru
shchev has revived the cold
war almost on the eve of the
summit cod
f erfirs r.ee
which was
suppo s e d to
pave the way
to world
peace.
It is logical
to ask why.
O s t ensible
mar, .. - ioj
reason was his
charge before
Phil NeMsnm
the Supreme
Soviet (parlia-
ment) that the United States
had sent a reconnaissance
plane over Russia on a spy
mission. He said a Russian
ground-to-air rocket brought
the plane down and that the
pilot, who lived, now may be
brought to trial.
Presumably it would be a
show trial.
Khrushchev quickly linked
the incident of the unarmed
plane to a theoretical case in
which a plane might carry a
hydrogen bomb. The United
states, he said, might logically
expect one in return.
Recalls Stalin's Day
This is talk as tough as
any of the old cold war days
of the late Soviet Premier
Josef Stalin.
While the State Department
said there was no Washington
authorization for such flights,
it did admit the plane was on
what would happen if the
farm soil bank and other sup
ports were lifted?
And how would he solve
the Bering Sea fishing prob
lem? Would he allow the large
fleets from foreign countries
to freeze out, one by one, the
American free enterprise fish
ermen? Would he practically
give away the fishing industry
to foreign countries because
he's opposed to a federal plan
of action?
It is inconceivable that a
man who is opposed to so
many humanitarian and pro
gressive reforms (good or im
perfect), could ever be elected
to a public office. However,
the apparent code and belief
of this man does constitute a
policy. It's a policy that is so
old it might be classified as
radically new to the younger
voters, and one that could
take root and spread among
certain groups, who vote be
fore they think.
Would appreciate further
clarification of Mr. Fleming's
speech; and if he can answer
any of the questions I have
asked here or can offer any
alternatives for his various
oppositions; am quite sure
that a very large number of
voters would like to hear of it.

High Power Bills
To the Editor: We nave been
in the city of Medford for 10
months. Since then I have re
ceived the highest power bills
of anywhere we have lived
in the state of Oregon. Not
only are the rates higher, but
our K.W.H. are several hun
dred more than we have ever
used before, and elsewhere
we have had water pumps and
more appliances.
I have gone to the com
pany and they have tried to
prove that we are using all
this power.' However my ap
pliance repair service and
companies that sell my makes
of appliances say that they
can't use as much K.W.H. as
the power company meters
say they do.
My bills are $27 a month
and no heat of any kind is
used. It's awfully hard to pay
such high power bills, and
now I see where the company
wants to raise their rates even
higher.
Are we the people just go
ing to sit still and pay our
high bills, or are we going to
do something about it?
I myself haven't found one
person in their office who will
listen to reason and try to be
cooperative. They just say
that I am a bother and cost the
company a lot of unnecessary
expense. They know that we
have to buy their power when
we already have electrical
appliances, so they know that
we will keep on paying what
ever they wish to charge us.
If we don't pay they turn off
the power.
I know that there are plen
ty of other people who feel the
way I do. I hope that they
will feel free to write the
editor too.

THE CASE OF
HUBERT HUMPHREY
Charleston, W. Va.-The
mystery of this West Virginia
primary is the role of Sen.
Hubert H.
.1 M i n n e s ota.
' TToro Is a hnt
crucial Demo-
U cratic contest,
,) -3li in which na-
prejudice i s
the demon
strated source
ToSeeu' aLs op of at least half
the voter support for Senator
Humphrey, the liberal enemy
of prejudice in all forms.
Sen. Humphrey has not
made the smallest appeal to
prejudice. Yet he has waged
a fairly unpleasant campaign,
rich with admittedly unsub
stantiated hints of misdeeds
by Sen. John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts (which the Ken
nedy campaigner, Franklin
D. Roosevelt Jr., has now bal
anced with an unauthorized
reference to the Humphrey
war record). And Humphrey
has also accepted the backing
of such fairly unpleasant
types as Jimmy Hoffa's local
Teamsters and the ex-Ku
Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert
C. Byrd.
In these circumstances, if
Kennedy's opponent were Sen-
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas,
the acknowledged voices of
American liberalism would be
making the national welkin
ring with their roars of in
dignation. Actually the liber
als have held off, because
Sen. Humphrey is one of their
own. Instead, Sen. Humphrey
himself has been roaring with
indignation, precisely because
the nature of his most im
portant voter support has
been factually reported.
THE named target for these
roars has been this report
er, who was the first to put
the facts in the record. But
this reporter's computation,
that Sen. Humphrey owed a
"majority" of his West Vir
ginia support to religious
prejudice, was mild indeed
compared to what came later.
In an intensive state-wide sur
vey, the exceptionally care
ful Alan L. Otten of the "Wall
Street Journal" found that at
least "seven out of ten" pros
pective Humphrey voters
were animated by prejudice.
The able William H. Law
rence of the "New York
Times" also wrote:
"There are few voters In
tending to vote for him who
identify themselves as 'for'
Humphrey. Most simply say
they are 'anti-Kennedy', pri
marily on religious grounds."
With cautious understatement,
Lawrence further notes that
Humphrey was unlikely to be
"helped much toward the
(Democratic) nomination" by
winning in West Virginia, if
indeed he does win. He may
very easily win, and perhaps
by a great margin. But
reality because of the kind of
majority support Humphrey
Is getting there, the victory
itself will actually decrease
whatever chance he previous
ly had of a place on the Demo
cratic ticket.
THE victory will not be de
natured, so to say, because
Sen. Humphrey has repeat
edly deplored religious preju
dice, and with undoubted sin
cerity. As the beneficiary of
prejudice-even as an unwill
ing beneficiary-he will be
come less acceptable than be
fore to the Democratic lead
ers of the big key states. The
big-state leaders never liked
him much anyway, and they
have large Catholic votes to
worry about. He may even
suffer in his own Minnesota,
where Catholics constitute at
least half of the normal Demo
cratic vote. Logically, this is
unfair. But politics is a trade
in which the hard realities are
often unfair.
The Humphrey mystery
may therefore be summed up
In the question: "Why on
earth is Humphrey doing this
act here, with almost no hope
of gain and considerable risk
of loss?'' The mystery Is all
the greater, because what
Humphrey has done in West
Virginia represents a sharp
change of his original, more
soberly made plans.

larly new. Spy charges, one
against the other, are not new
either.
Bat of this case, Khru
shchev made a particular issue
phrey himself told this re
porter, arid a good many other
reporters too, that the Wiscon
sin primary was going to be
his supreme test. If his vote
in Wisconsin was not greater
than Kennedy's, or at least
equal to Kennedy's, so he
said, he would withdraw from
the pre-Convention contest
there and then. In January,
he went even further in a
long talk with the British La
bor Party leader, Hugh Gait
skell. Even if he won in Wis
consin, he told Gaitskell, he
did not hope for more than
a couple of hundred delegates.
His real aim, he explained,
was to be a "factor" at the
Democratic Convention; he
added that he thought that
his delegates would "prob
ably" go to Sen. Kennedy in
the end.
a
AFTER Humphrey lost In
Wisconsin by a heavy ma
jority, warm friends and sup
porters of his, among them
Walter Reuther, sent him
messages urging him to stick
to his original plan: They also
warned him that West Vir
ginia would prove to be a
hornet's nest. Yet he plunged
onward. Why did he do so?
If he had won in Wisconsin,
however narrowly, he would
certainly have been justified
in thinking of himself as a
serious candidate, still very
much in the ring. But after
losing in his backyard, why
go on without useful pur
pose? The answer must be a spe
cial bacterium in the soil of
Wisconsin. In every way one
can think of, Humphrey Is
a better man -than Minne
sota's other recent presiden
tial aspirant, Harold Stassen.
Yet presidential campaigning
has affected the warm-hearted
Humphrey almost as it af
fected the cold-hearted Stas
sen. The main symptom has
been a marked loss of touch
with practical reality,

advance of the summit has
been getting tougher daily.
He began with a renewed
warning that., unless tiie West,
ern Allies agreed to hii own
plans both for disarmament
and an overall peace treaty
for Germany, he would make
his own separate peace with
Communist East Germany.
This, he said, automatically
would cut off Western access
to free West Berlin.
Satellite Loaders Meet
As Khrushchev renewed his
hard line, other events also
were taking place. As the sum
mit drew nearer, Red China
stepped up its own propa
ganda attacks against the
United States.
Simultaneously, a summit
meeting of Soviet satellite
states was occurring in Mos
cow. Either because of Red
China or as result of develop
ments in the satellites, some
thing may have occurred to
chill Khrushchev's own en
thusiasm toward the summit.
In the works at the same
time was a far-reaching shape
up inside the Soviet Union's
own governing machinery. It
is not unusual for Kremlin
leaders to step up their at
tacks against the West at a
time of far-reaching develop
ments within the Soviet
Union. It diverts the people's
attention.
Russia has not been alone
in taking an increasingly hard .
line toward the summit.
Undersecretary of State
Douglas Dillon recently warn
ed: "Despite constant talk of
'peaceful coexistence,' there is
no evidence whatsoever that
Communist expansionist am
bitions have alerted in the
slightest." ...
