One might think this gov ernment had committed the most sordid crime of the cen tury. The truth, of course, is that a government responsible for tlie safety of its own people (and of millions of oth er peoples) has a plain duly to run reconnaissance over a vast, hulking and secret pow. er like the Soviet Union. AHE truth, of course, also is I that our first explanation for this particular plane was clumsy nonsense.

O u r j the avowal is not the spying position n o w as such but the claim that seems to be that because it is so difficult to collect informa- tion inside the Soviet Union it will henceforth be our AVOWED policy to fly over Soviet territory, using the ter ritory of our allies as bases. Although the intention here is to be candid and honest and also to make the best of a piece of very bad luck, the new policy-which seems to have been improvised be tween Saturday and Monday is quite unworkable. To AVOW that we intend j ternational law. Because spy to violate Soviet sovereignty I ing is illegal, Its methods are is to nut evervhodv on the I often immoral and criminal. spot It makes it impossible for I the Soviet government to play ! down this particular incident 1 because now it is challenged openly in the face of the whole j world. It is compelled to re i act because no nation can re- main passive when it is the avowed policy of another na I tion to intrude upon its ter ritory. The avowal of such a policy is an open invitation to I the Soviet government to take the case to the United Nations, ( where our best friends will be grievously embarrassed. I The avowal is also a challenge ! to the Soviet Union to put ; pressure on Pakistan, Tur key, Norway, Japan, and any other country which has us able bases. Our allies are put on the spot because they must Union, can put our small ef forts into such vast discredit? TRUE, one unarmed air- airspace without the person al command of the President of the United States. (The President did not personally pack the pilot's lunch kit, either). But does this really suggest that some reckless band of militarists has taken over the foreign policy of the United States? Is there any rational con tent whatever in the argu ment that because this could happen it follows that some intelligence agent or colonel could himself "set off a nu clear war?" Do the people who make such frantic sug gestions know anything of the immense precautions that would make any such thing literally and physically im possible? If a gun shop sells a .22 rifle without proper safeguards does this prove that anybody can walk in off the street and buy a loaded atomic cannon? VyHY don't we - and our " friends abroad - quit buy ing the melodramatic rubbish the Russians are putting out? Why don't we quit reacting in a u t omatic breast - beating? And if the United States government had not undertak en the intelligence activities it has' undertaken - and will go on undertaking - would we not be denouncing that same government for being asleep against the possibility of another Pearl Harbor? Significantly, the official question to the Eisenhower administration, the leaders of the Democratic party, are act ing responsibly and speaking softly. Those now raising the shrillest clamor about this dreadful, dreadful administra tion are those who only weeks ago were intoning hymns to t h e wonderful, wonderful cold war policy of that same administration. The responsible Allied statesmen have a plain duty and powerful men here who are their good friends are going privately to remind them of it. They ought to speak out for a nation which has, after all, poured out bil lions in their defense. An al liance has a leader who is supported when things are rough - or an alliance has no leader at all. (Copyright, 1960, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) VOTE FOR LOWELL E.

This is an amateur ish and naive view of the na ture of spying. Spying between nations is, of course, ihe universal prac tice. Everybody does it as best he can. But it Is illegal in all countries, and the spy if caught is subject to the severest punishment. When the spying involves intrusion across frontiers by military aircraft, it is also against in- Its methods include bribery, blackmail, perjury, forgery, murder, and suicide. The spy business cannot be conducted without illegal, im moral, and criminal activities. But all great powers are en gaged in the spy business, and as long as the world is as war like as it has been In all re corded history there is no way of doing without spying. All the powers know this and all have accepted the sit uation as one of the hard facts of life. Around this sit uation there has developed over many generations a code of behavior. The spying is never avowed and therefore the government never ac knowledges responsibility for its own clandestine activities If its agent is caught, the agent is expected to kill him self. In any event, he is aban doned to the mercies of the government that he has spied upon. The spying is never admit ted. If it can be covered suo cessfully by a lie, the lie is told. ALL this is not a pretty busi ness, and there is no way of prettifying it or transform ing it into something highly moral and wonderful. The cardinal rule, which makes spying tolerable in interna tional relations, is that it is never avowed. For that reason it is never defended, and therefore the aggrieved coun try makes only as much of a fuss about a particular inci dent as it can make or as it chooses to make. We .should have abided by the rule. When Mr. K. made his first announcement about the plane, no lies should have been told. The Administration should have said that, it was investigating the charge and would then take suitable ac tion. We should then have maintained a cool silence. This would have left us, of course, with the unpleasant fact that our spy plane had been caught. What really com pounded our trouble, and was such a humiliation to us, is that before we' knew how much Mr. K. knew we pub lished the official lie about its being a weather plane. Then finding ourselves trapped in this blatant and gratuitous lie, we have tried to extricate our selves by rushing into the declaration of a new and un precedented policy.

Elmo Smith said Thursday night that Republican achievement is responsible for Oregon rank ing third in the nation among the states in public education. Smith, a candidate for the United States Senate, told a Republican party rally that despite this achievement the Democrats have managed to gain an upper hand in the voter registration in the state. He said that the Republican candidates must go after the votes of the many indepen dents who are registered as Democrats. I Chiltagong in East Pakistan has 280,000 population.
