Was It "Rigged"?
By the time this appeal's in print, the Demo
cratic nominee for President of the United States
will barring something completely unforeseen
be known.
But the proceedings of the first two days of
the convention indicate that Harry Truman's al
legation that it is "rigged" is nothing more than
an allegation, and an iffy one, at that.
It depends on what you mean by "rigged."
Kennedy worked as hard as any man ever
did for the nomination, entering and winning
primaries, stumping m every corner of the coun
try, and movinir coldly and, when necessary.
ruthlessly, toward his goal.
DUT yesterday's apparent waning of his total
delegate strength, the stirring demonstration
when Adlai Stevenson entered the convention
hall, the rather obvious disaffection and resent
ment of many delegates toward Kennedy these
testify both to Kennedy's hard work, and to the
fact that the convention could blow wide apart.
The answer will (probably) be known when
this is read. But as of this writing the issue is still
in doubt, and the supporters of Lyndon Johnson,
Stuart Symington and, of course. Adlai Steven
son, are still holding their breath and hoping
against hope. E.A.

Oregonians have been killed on the state's
highways at a rate slightly higher than one each
day so far in 1960.
Most of the deaths were unnecessaiy.
A writer in the current Harper's magazine
has a plan which, he thinks, could cut the nation's
traffic deaths by one-third, or maybe more.
The plan is predicated on the fact that only
4 per cent of all drivers are responsible for 36
per cent of all traffic deaths.
Another 15 per cent are responsible for the
other 64 per cent.
And the remaining 81 per cent of the drivers
cause no traffic fatalities. They just drive along,
taking every precaution for their own and others'
safety, and dodging the maneuvers of the 4 and
15 per cent who are killers.
PARENTHETICALLY, it's amazing how often
It's about that number of young people who
get tagged as "juvenile delinquents." That num
ber of drivers who cause a disproportionate share
of accidents. And so on.
And we'd be prepared to make a small wager
that there is a whole lot of overlapping between
the membership in these small-percentage groups.

was Adlai Ste

Johnson, for all his shrewd
ness and skill as a legislative
manager, is not a genuine al
ternative to Kennedy. For
Johnson knows little of the
outer world.
When Stevenson refused to
become an active candidate
and to participate in a combi
nation to stop Kennedy, the
opposition had no genuine
candidate.
The only way that Kennedy
can now be stopped would be

centage of drivers be con-ailed? What can be1 retain the control of the
done to curb their depredations on the highways;
Obviously, there are not enough police of
ficers in the land to patrol every highway and
street all the time.
So he suggests that a new type of official be
designated a Traffic Warden.
These officials would be reputable, compe
tent, reliable people, quite a number in each com
munity, serving without pay. Their duties would
be to observe and report, on forms provided, the
license numbers of traffic offenders.
They would make no arrests; pass no judg
ments; draw no morals; formally accuse no one.
DUT, if one license number began to draw a
substantial number of such reports, an officer
would be assigned to investigate. And if, then,
violations continued, the offender would be ar
rested and charged in the usual way.
Would such a plan be sneaky? Would the
wardens be "spies"?
That's a matter of interpretation, again. But
all police work involves a certain amount of ob
servation and deduction, and this would simply
be an extension of the informational activities
of the existing, duly-constituted police depart
ments. No one s rights would be jeopardized, in
asmuch as existing legal safeguards would still
be used.
'THE effect, the writer believes (and we're in-
clined to agree) would be salutary. ,
The sight of a police car always tends to slow
down speeding vehicles. And, when every car on
the highway is a potential adjunct of the police
authority, the jerks, squirrels and chickens who
now menace the inoffensive driver, might think
twice before taking some of their shocking
chances with their own and others' lives.
It would tend to speed up the present work
of the motor vehicles department's division of
drivers license review, which can remove a
driver's license for good and sufficient reason.
And, as the dangerous 4 per cent, and the
careless and unthinking 15 per cent, are slowed
down, or removed from the highway, traffic ac
cidents and deaths would decrease. i
"NE death per day in Oregon traffic is too
much.
One hundred per day in United States traffic
is too much.
Anything which comports with our ideas of
justice and responsible conduct, and which would
tend to reduce this fearful toll, is worth thinking
about.
It's worth trying.
If it doesn't work, it can be abandoned. If it
does, it will save many lives which otherwise will
be lost, as sure as traffic will continue to in
crease. E.A,
party in the hands of the Old
Guard, among them Mr. Tru
man. STEVENSON'S decision,
which cleared the way for
Kennedy, was determined by
his feelings and by his judg
ment. Stevenson is a great gentle
man for whom, having twice
been nominated, it would
have been unseemly to
scramble for a third nomina
tion. It was clear too that
while the professional politi
cians might have been com
pelled to accept him again,
they would have done so un
willingly and in a defeatest
spirit.
At the same time, there
was Kennedy with his youth,
his sharp and trained intelli
gence, and his undoubted
popular magnetism. As Ken
nedy has matured, he has out
grown many of the mistakes
and vacillations of his youth,
and today his position in do
mestic and foreign affairs is
substantially the same as Ste
venson's. As Kennedy has de
veloped his ideas In his cam
paigning he has proved him
self to be an unusually effec
tive organizer and a natural
leader of men. There is little
doubt today that more than
any other available candi
date, he can rally the large
diverse masses of the Demo
cratic party, and that if it
comes down to infighting,
Nixon will know he has been
in a fight.
-
T IS plain to all observers,
to Gallup and Lubbell and
others, that the deepest con
cern of the American people
is with foreign affairs. They
are looking for leadership
knowing, because they feel It
in their bones, that things .re
going very wrong, that Ameri
can influence is declining in
, Asia, in Africa, and in Latin
America while the Soviet in
fluence is rising.
The people could find that
leadership in the Republican
party if it' had the sense to
nominate Governor Rocke
feller. They can now find It in
the Democratic party under
Kennedy and the men, such
as Stevenson, Bowles, Hum
phrey, and Symington, who
will be near him,
THESE party loaders know
that in order to stand up
to Khrushchev a lot more Is
needed than to sass him back.
There must be power and In
fluence to stand up to Khru
shchev. The power cannot be gen
erated by running the econ
omy in low gear and pretend
ing to believe that the country
cannot afford to arm itself
fully or to educate its ch.II
dren properly or to satisfy its
public needs.
The influence cannot be
generated unless this country,
by the vigor and imagination
of its own development, be
comes again, as It was under
Wilson and Roosevelt and In
deed In the 19th century gen-
erally, a model of what dem
ocracy can do.
There are some among us
who seem to think that the
way to deal with Khrushchev
Is to be as rude as he is, and
to rattle the rocket as he does.
Any fool can be rude to Khru
shchev, and Washington is
full of ghost writers who can
write rude statements. But
we are not suffering from a
lack of rudeness in our pol
icy. What we are suffering
from is a failure to attract
enough friends among the
masses of the people of Asia
and Africa and of Latin
America.
fTHlS is only too evident in
the fracas with Castro. The
Kennedy Nomination Poses Big Question:
Can a Roman Catholic Win Presidency?
By LYLE C. WILSON
Sports Arena, Los Angeles
'I The Democratic Party
has put the big tough question
to the voters
of- this nation
iignin can a
Roman Catho
lic bo elected
president?
This ques
tion whs posed
last In 1!2
with the nomi
nation of Al
fred E. Smith,
New York Demucrnt, to op
pose Herbert Hoover, lowu-
born Republican. Smith whs
h Roman Catholic. Ho lost.
There were other Issues, but
ri
C IVIUtm
controlling fact Is that under
the treaty signed with our
Latin American neighbors,
signed at their insistence, we
have renounced altogether the
right to intervene In Cuba or
to take coercive measures. If
Castro Is u menace to the
peace of the hemisphere,
measures can be taken against
him only In collaboration
with the Organization of
American States.
But, apparently, there are
few Latin American states In
which the people are with us
and against Castro, and there
are few governments which
would not foar our return to
the policy of intervention
more than they fear the ti
rades and the intrigues of
Castro.
IT WAS not always like that.
It was not like that under
Roosevelt who, though he did
mighty little In n material
sense for Latin America, was
a popular idol. It would not,
I think, be like that If Steven
son were the Secretary of
State. For in Latin America,
as his recent tour demon
stated, his prestige with the
masses and with the govern
ing intellectuals is much great
er than that of any other
American.
The way for a country to
restore its Influence Is to in
crease its power and to en
large its sympathies so that
it is respected, so that it
understands and is under
stood.
Juding by one long talk I
have had with Kennedy, I
would say that he knows the
score.

presidential campaign re
mains to be seen. There Is no
doiihl, however, that Ken
nedy's religion was an Issue
In (his Democratic National
Convention, mostly sub-surface,
but It was here.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
raised It In her first anti-Kennedy
broadcast this week.
Mrs. Roosevelt sought the
nomination of Adlai E. Ste

project, she warned the dele
gates that Kennedy's religion
might cost htm votes.
Persistently reported from
Pennsylvania during (ho long
pro-convention shuffling was
this: that Gov. David L. Law
rence, a Catholic, believed his
own religion had hurt him
when he ran for governor nnd
that Kennedy might be equal
ly handicapped.

and addle
pates. But af
ter this Dem
ocratic ton-
vention, the
old Bible
story may
joskpii alsop wcu De r e
placed by the story of the
wise and foolish politicians.
Pennsylvania's owlish Gov.
David Lawrence and the pow
erful Mayor Richard Daley of
Chicago have turned In per
formances that deserve a per
manent place in a "how to"
book for budding politicos.
Gov. "Pat" Brown of Cali
fornia and Gov. Robert Mey
ner of New Jersey have met
all the requirements of these
manuals' "how not to" de
partments, with truly glorious
maladroitness.
Meanwhile, the organiza
tion of Sen. John F. Kennedy
of Massachusetts has also
dealt with these four mag
nates in a way that deserves
a separate chapter, perhaps
best entitled, "How to Get
Your Way With Politicians,
Both Bone - headed and
Smart."
GOVERNOR Brown, to be
nin was mnmenlnrllv In
all the headlines because he
at last let the shoe drop. He
has said he is for Kennedy.
But he has done this fn a way
that has reduced his credit
and Injured his prestige to
the utmost limit.
Long ago, when there was
a question of Kennedy's enter
ing the California primary,
Governor Brown made a hard
and fast commitment to join
the Kennedy camp If tho
Massachusetts Senator just
left California alone and won
all the other primaries. Since
the Kennedy victory In Ore
gon, the hard, bleak fact of
this commitment has con
tinuously stared poor Brown
In the face. His response has
resembled the behavior of
Chuchundra, the timid mus
krat In Kipling's "Rlkkl Tlkkl
Tavl," who never dared ven
ture Into tho middle of a
room, and always scuttled
round and round the walls,
walling the while,
In other words, the unhap
py Brown came within an ace
of keeping his promise to
Kennedy at least a dozen
times, and then backed away
at the last instant because he
A DEAR, good man, but just
a mite Indecisive, Is now
the political community's ver
dict of Brown. But contrast
the political community's ver
dict on Gov. David Lawrence
of Pennsylvania, who would
dearly like to 'have stopped
Kennedy but found that this
operation was impractical.
In effect, Governor Law
rence explored all the alter
natives to Kennedy with
methodical care, over a period
of many months. But he kept
his own council, and he re
tained his freedom of man
euver. He was not flurried,
even when Kennedy began to
make important gains, un
authorized by Lawrence, In
the Pennsylvania delegation
Itself. He still had a lot to
offer when he majestically
descended from his plane In
Los Angeles, with Kennedy
emissaries and representatives
of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas frisking around the
ramp like eager spaniels.
The Lawrence choice was
intimated there and then,
when he chose the chief old
pro of the Kennedy camp,
the astute John Bailey of Con
necticut, as his companion
for the long drive into town,
In a business-like way, but
still without making any firm
commitment, Lawrence there
upon went to work on the con
vention situation with the
other pro - Kennedy profes
sionals, Mayor Richard Daley
of Chicago, David T, Wllcntz
of New Jersey, and Carmine
DiSapio and Michael Prender
gast of New York.
There was great joy In the
Kennedy camp when tho word
went round that "Dave Law
rence Ib going to be all right."
Even so, It was not until Sat
urday evening that Lawrence
told Senator Kennedy In plain
terms, that he really won go
ing to bo all right. Great re
lief, considerable gratitude,
and genuine respect for tho
tough old realist of Harris
burg, wero the reactions to
this major event.

Destiny
To the Editor: At the turn
of the Twentieth Century our
grade teacher admonished us
students to "never look back
wards," but forever to face
the future Intricacies of life.
Which brings to memory the
promises men live by, all
through one's varied lifetime
of experience and learning.
There were two landowners
living side by side In the long
forgotten years, so the story
goes, that made a promise
that as long as they lived
apart and any of their stock
or fowl trespassed on the
others domain, the same
would be shot and thrown
over the owner's fence. After
a long and quiet lapse of time
without much excitement, one
of the free-holders became
rather uneasy about the other
side of the fence. Upon taking
aging his affairs In an exactly
contrary manner. Many
months ago, Kennedy made
enormous inroads In the New
Jersey delegation, which was
officially pledged to Meyner
as a favorite son. Meyner had
the option of running to the
head of the procession, and
thereby making a very com
fortable best of a business he
did not much like.
But instead of imitating tho
Pennsylvania Governor's ex
ample, the New Jersey Gover
nor almost hysterically clung
to the "privilege of having hla
name presented to the con
vention" - as though an em
pty nominating speech and a
phony, feeble demonstration
on tho convention floor were
worth what Meyner will un
doubtedly pay for them.
As for Mayor Daley 'of Chi
cago, he always wanted lo be
for Kennedy, but he also
wanted to be shown that Ken
nedy was as good as he sus
pected. "The atmosphere Is
very good," was the Kennedy
camp's only report from Chi
cago, for months after anxious
months.', Then, Just a few
weeks before the convention
itself, Daley decided he had
been shown enough, and he
made his commitment, But
he told no one but Kennedy,
because he wanted time for
the musslve, rock solid line
up of his delegation which he
finally achieved.
Thus one can predict with
great assurance that in a Ken
nedy White House, the red
carpet will always be out for
Daley nnd Lawrence, whilo
Brown and Meyner may per
haps be uslted to a tourist
lea. Such are the practical
rewards of political wisdom
and political folly.
