existence in a cornfield in 1943.

lost its top slightly more than 6,000 years ago,
following an earth-shaking explosion, the extru

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

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

"Freedom and civil

was forgotten by many in the panic of McCarty

unidentified informers.

of all that free men have learned about the indis

Yet this procedure remains in force today
under a Republican Administration and threat

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

The security of the Nation will not be im

lican Presidential nomination

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,

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. HOT WEATHER note:
In Miami yesterday, two
men swapped Jobs for a short
time . . . and it meant a dif
ference of 115 degrees for
them.
Albert Gray estimated it
was US degrees at the top of
a building where he was
working as a roofer. Frank
Chack worked insida, in a
frozen foods room, where the
temperature was zero.

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."

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

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

If he had chosen to fight,
Nixon could have run over

no man can fight himself;
and that Is what Nixon would
have had to do if he had clung
to the Elsenhower - Pangloss

Medical Aid
To the Editor: Rnlh nnlltl.
cut parties are backing gov
eminent medical ulrf i h,.
old people. One bill that ii
up oeiore congress was to
comuel tha aeed tn inL n,
government Insurance. Thli
would cost us moro than any
insurance caiiinnnv u, n .. i
charge. This government med
ical aid would take about a
fourth of what one nn Kl..l
Security is getting, where on
only gets $87 per month, so
what would we have left to
live on?
If the government wuni i
help the aged, alve all Sinn

Deuer insurance and cheaper
from Insurance companies.
Where Congress is raising ev

From League
To tho Editor: The Lcouii.
of Women Voters is warmly'
appreciative of the editorial
In Thursday's Mull Tribune
sliaring the interest of th
League In helping all citizens
make wise decisions on th.
Nov. 8 ballot by becoming
better acquainted with all th.
candidates for office, local,
state, and national, at th.
Candidates' Fair, Oct. 20.
We did wish to emphasize.
however, that the subject on
which Dr. Durno and Con
gressman Porter have agreed
to debate will be "tho rol.
of the congressman in for
eign affairs," rather than
whether or not he "should
lukc an active interest."
As you may know, th.
League often serves as liai
son bclwccn the candidates of
both parties and the public,
but presents their point ot
view with strict impartiality
and nonpartisanshlp.
