Mazama lost its top slightly more than 6,000 years ago, following an earth-shaking explosion, the extru sion of pumice and lava measured in cubic miles and the collapse ot its cone. The eruption left a huge volcanic bowl. Volcanic activity did not end with the moun tain-shattering blast. There was still life in the old stump of the mountain.' New volcanic action pushed Wizard Island out of the depth. This same action created the submerged cone just found through sonic probing. Lava flows on the caldera floor were other results unrest. COME geologists surmise that the giant bowl of Crater Lake could have been filled with cones and lava, not water.' In the Deschutes country Mazama had a sister volcano. It was Mt. Newberry'. It also lost its top. Then came later volcanic action that divided the caldera into two parts, with a line of cinder cones. Newberry, following the collapse of its top, was a potential second Crater Lake. But the com paratively recent volcanism ruined the huge, an cestral crater. Now Twin lakes, East caldera. Bend Bulletin. Reaffirmation "Freedom and civil incompatible with security, are vital to our na tional strength," says the newly adopted Demo cratic Party platform. Here is a truism which was forgotten by many in the panic of McCarty ism. It was thought that somehow protection of the Nation called for an of the protections of within the concept of due process of law. Thirteen years ago in a Democratic Admin istration, it should be noted the Federal Gov ernment undertook to judge, and to condemn, its employees on the basis of unidentified informers. in the name of national security, new in the face of all that free men have learned about the indis pensability of confrontation and cross-examina tion m the administration of justice. Yet this procedure remains in force today under a Republican Administration and threat ens to become institutionalized as a permanent feature of American life. TTHE Democratic Party platform, to its immense credit, promises, however, that "we shall pro vide a full and fair hearing, including confronta tion of the accuser, to any person whose public or private employment or reputation is jeopar dized by a loyalty or security proceeding." The promise ought to be made by the Republican Party as well. It amounts to no more than a reaf firmation of ancient American values. The security of the Nation will not be im periled by fairness in dealing vith its citizens. The screening out of untrustworthy employees can be accomplished effectively by methods con sistent with due process and consideration of in dividual rights. Only such methods should be nur- sued by the Government A return to them will the Nation's security.

Washington Report By WILLIAM PICKING THE U P En Route to Chicago Richard M. Nixon heads for Chicago to accept the Repub lican Presidential nomination iuii ox pror 1 e m i as to whom to tap to be his can- diate for the vice presiden cy he himself has held for eight years. White embirr ass- ment of riches In available men for this second spot There is a special awarness in Nixon, of all people, of the qualities most needed for the post and most useful political ly. (After all, he has had some personal experience in the matter). And, finally, the Democrats have complicated Nixon's life by choosing Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas as their vice presidential candidate on the ticket headed by Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. VTIXON actually had long feared Johnson at either end of the Democratic ticket. But, like nearly everyone else, the vice-president had assum ed Johnson would take the No. 1 place or no place at all. The Texan's decision to accept No. 2 will give to the Democratic slate some degree of appeal to the conservatives maybe some of them even Republican conservatives which would not otherwise have been the case. More over, it weakens Nixon's own previous hopes of doing un usually well in the south. So, assuming that Gov. Nel son Rockefeller of New York will neither take nor really be offered the G.O.P. vice presidential designation, the position stands about like this: Nixon, in choosing his run ning mate, can go to the bord er states and select Sen. Thruston Morton of Ken tucky. He can go to the east and pick Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, our ambas sador to the United Nations. He can go into Texas and also Connecticut and settle on Robert B. Anderson, Presi dent Eisenhower's . secretary of the treasury or, he can go into the midwest and choose Fred Seaton of Ne braska, the Eisenhower sec retary of the interior. MORTON would almost certainly be the popular choice among the Republican pros and the rank and file of convention delegates. He is well-liked. He has done a fine job as chairman of the G.O.P. National committee. He is a moderately liberal Republican pretty much of Nixon s own school. And he has been a faithful Nixon man . ail the way, never turning his ear to the anti-Nixons song sung by the Rockefeller people. Lodge's greatest claim Is that as chief United Slates spokesman at the U.N., where he has over and over "stood up" to the Russians. He has, however, one handicap. The old Taft wing of the G.O.P. has always disliked him, and that wing has long memories. Anderson would be signific ant in two ways, As a native Texan now legally a resident of Greenwich, Conn., he might be depended upon to help Nixon in Texas and possibly to some extent in the south generally. And as chief fiscal officer of the Eisenhower ad ministration its strong, stern voice for the balanced budget he would literally embody the coming Republican effort lo cry "spenders" at the Dem ocrats. TJERE again, however, the -a--thing cuts both wava, For to choosa Anderson, NJxon Menace feAH. BUT WILL S. WHITE would have lo tie himself rather irrevocably and total ly to the Eisenhower fiscal policies. In Anderson he would also be picking an ex Democrat. Seaton would be important both In the iarm belt and in the far west which, with its national parks ana water and power problems, always tends to look more to the secretary of the interior than to any other cabinet officer. If this correspondent had to be pinned down at this mo ment, he would timidly guess that in the end it will lie between Lodge and Anderson, with Anderson having the slightest of edges.

In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Th department of agricul ture announces that in their referendum, tha nation's wheat farmers voted over whelmingly to grow their 1961 crop under rigid govern ment marketing quotas. Com plete ra turns from all 30 wheat states show that 87.3 per cent of them approved the controls. Approval means that all wheat growers who comply with their acreage allotments (the controls operate on the basis of acres instead of bush els) will be eligible for price supports at 75 per cent of parity, or not less than $1.78 per bushel. S THAT wicked? Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Given a choice between a guaranteed price that is prof itable and taking a chance on the supply and demand price obtainable in a glutted mar ket, most of us would probab ly do as tha wheat farmers have done. IHAT IS to say: The trouble wilh a Buar- anteed wheat price that is profitable to the grower is that it tends t6 build up a vast surplus that must hang over the markets of the future like a dark thundercloud. In such a case, the wheat farmers are inclined to go along with this advice given some nine hundred years ago by old Omar the Tent Maker. 'Ah, take the Cash and let the Credit go, 'Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum." FROM Washington: A 22-billion-dollar pro gram for construction of dams during the next 40 years has just been proposed to satisfy the nation's increasing de mand for food and electricity. The Reclamation Bureau has proposed such a program. It would mean more than dou ble the rate at which dams have been built in the pact decade. HMMMMMMMMMM. Maybe they're thinking of using the stored-up surplus es of wheat and other subsidy supported crops to build the dams with. .That would be one way of coping with the surplus prob lem.

The realists l the Repul) licun convention have not been able to gel over, or around, or under, or awny from this interpretation ot the remarkable agreement reached by Richard M. Nixon and Nelson A. Rockefeller on Sat urday morning. It Is known that thoy did not clear their agreed statements with the President. They hardly could have, at 3:30 a.m.; but even at a more normal hour, they hardly would have. They hardly would have cleared this document with Eisenhower, because the an swer, surely, could only have been a red-fneed "No!" - for the statement flatly rejects the Elsenhower approach of the last seven years, which subordinated all other prob lems, including the national safety, to the problem of the budget. It acknowledges the justice of Governor Rockefel ler's defense critiques, which have so angered the Prcsl- nt. It calls for greater na tional strength In every area. financed by greater national growth. OF GOVERNOR Rockefel ler's role in this astonish ing result, one can only say that he has levered his party Into the 1960's by main force. All the venomous criticisms of Rockefeller by the Repub lican hacks have now been dramatically answered. In stead of being flighty, ambi tious, disruptive, and self serving, Rockefeller has only been guilty of Insisting on the Importance of enormously big ideas and principles which his rival, the Vice President, has now made his own too. Ideas are abhorrent to the dimmer, fatter, more com fortable sort of Republicans. Thia triumph of Rockefeller's ideas is doubly abhorrent to them. A good many of them arc running round in circles, barking like the dog that the Russian scientist, Pavlov, brought to the point of canine nervous breakdown. They hardly know whether to be more angry with Rockefeller or Nixon. But the other main point of this episode lies in tha fact that Richard M. Nixon has not capitulated, In any real sense of the word. He h a s not bought Ideas which were not his own. He has not ac cepted principles In which he does not believe. On the con trary, he has merely torn off the facial shrubbery that all the Administration's "team players" have been required to wear. He has shown his real mind at last. FOR very obvious political reasons, the Vice President would certainly have prefer red to remove the crepe hair at his leisure, and in his own way. But events and Rocke feller conspired together to force his hand. Nixon knew, of course, that Secretary of State Christian A. llerter went to Newport last Tuesday, to give the Presi dent something unpleasantly close to a war-warning. He knew, of course, about the rising sentiment among the Administration policy makers on a working level, in favor of an immediate, massive In crease in defense appropria tions to show Nikita S. Khrushchev that this country still means what it says. In other circumstances. Nixon might have defied Rockefeller and fought for a meaningless unci bland plat form, inoffensive to the Presi dent. Being a highly prac tical politician, he would also have fought the campaign it self on the peace and pros perity themes, if events had permitted. But wilh ' every world horizon darkening so ominously, the more drastic course of cutting the cord that naturally binds the Vice Presi dent to the President was the only sensible course. H i norsonal loyalty to tne President, his real affection for Eisenhower, must have made this drastic course emo tionally painful to Nixon. But it was certainly not Intellec tually painful, Anyone who has cioBeiy studied Nixon's attempt to keep up the old appearances, In his speech on "growthman ship," for example, can see something like this: 'When It's hot, we want, It cold. 'When it's cold, we want it hot - "Always wanllng.whal we've not." HUMAN beings are funny -and, apparently, they al ways have been that way. ( mft close Foreign Notebook: U.N.

By the same token, anyone who known tha Vice President at all well is aware that ha linn Inner hnon deeply troubled about tha national defense posture. AS THE crepe hair has now been removed mn nhnintlv many will charge Nixon with past hypocrisy of expediency. But it has always been his concept that the Vice Presi dent has a positive, constitu tional duty to accept the President's Judgment as long as he is acting in his Vice Presidential capacity. He has no other choice, indeed, so long as he does not refuse to sit on the National Security Council. This was why Nixon insisted for so long that he could only develop his own views after being nominated, when he was acting in an in dependent capacity as his parly's Presidential candidate. A bland, meaningless plat- ford would have afforded a plcasantcr, more presentable transition for Nixon. But when Rockefeller slaked out his Issues, and declared that he would fight against a bland n d meaningless platform, Nixon could not fight back. He would have been fighting ideas that are largely his own. He would have been fighting facta which he knows too well. He would have been flghllng the whole situation symbolized by Hortor's New port Journey. If he had chosen to fight, Nixon could have run over Rockefeller like a tank. But no man can fight himself; and that Is what Nixon would have had to do if he had clung to the Elsenhower - Pangloss position. - (c) 1980 New York Herald Tribune Inc.
