14 A MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1969 Sen. Morse Not To Criticize Party Candidates in Fall CM By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Pendleton - (Special) - Sen. Wayne Morse has promised Oregon Democratic leaders at the local level that he will not kick over the traces this fall and com plicate efforts by criticizing any candi dates on t h e party ticket, either nation- a. Rout, smitb any or in Ore gon. - The senator has let it be known, however, that he is not enthusiastic about some Democratic candidates who are running this year, from the Kennedy-Johnson ticket on down. Morse spent last week trav eling around Oregon quietly mending political fences in stead of making his customary quota of firey speeches. It was his first state tour since last May when he went down to his most serious political defeat in 16 years of politics when Sen. John F. Kennedy defeated him in the presi dential primary. Morse's fence mending was chiefly with rank and file Democrats, workers in the vineyard at the county and state level whose support he will need in his 1962 cam paign for re-election. No Overtures Made .' Reportedly he has made no overtures of reconciliation to Reps. Edith Green, Charles O. Porter, Al Ullman, or to Mrs. M a u r i n e Neuberger, widow of his late senatorial colleague who is now running for the Senate in her own right. Morse is thought to feel that he does not need these other Oregon Democrats necessarily to shore up his own political position. Indeed, it is more likely that he feels that his congressional col leagues will need his support more than he will need theirs in the 1962 election. In any event, Morse has pledged not to do anything to hurt the party ticket this year. But he has reportedly made it clear that he is mak ing no commitments about what he will do respecting other Oregon congressional candidates in the 1962 elec tion. Morse is particularly rankled with Congressman Porter, the congressman from his home town, Eugene, who he complained earlier this year was "stabbing him in the back." The failure of any of his congressional colleagues to support his presidential bid in the Oregon primary is a source of Morse's ill feeling toward them. As for the current presi dential race, Morse has al ready issued a public state, ment of support for the Kennedy-Johnson ticket. Private ly, however, he has reported ly told Oregon Democrats in his visits around the state that he regards the Demo cratic ticket as the result of power politics. Morse favored Adlai Stevenson for a third presidential try. Thinks Less of Nixon Nevertheless, Morse thinks considerably less of Vice President Nixon, for whom he feels deep distrust. Curi ously, Morse probably has greater respect and admira tion for Nixon's running male, Henry Cabot Lodge, than for any of the other three men running for the two highest offices in the land. He con siders Lodge a man of great ability. Had Lodge not been chosen as the Republican vice presi dential candidate, he would have been working with Morse at the United Nations this fall when the Oregon senator fills his appointed as signment as a member of the U. S. delegation to the Gen eral Assembly. Shortly after Morse was nominated for that post by the White House earlier this summer. Lodge came down from New York to discuss the work that lay ahead in the coming session. Morse told him he intended to make the UN assignment his No. 1 duly, foregoing national political campaigning. Lodge promised him excellent work and com mittee assignments.

(UPI Telephoto) Beings on Mars Might Destroy Probe Sent Near Their Planet Seattle, Wash. - (Science Service) - The first rocket probe to Mars should contain equipment capable of detect ing Interference by intelligent Mars beings according to two California scientists. The probe should also carry instruments to transmit back to earth information on the nature of the Martian canals and on Phobos and Dicmos, the two Martian moons, Wells A. Webb, a research chemist for Hexcel Products Inc. at Berkeley, and Dr. James A. Harder, assistant professor of civil engineering at the Uni versity of California, Berke ley, told the third annual West Coast meeting of the American Astronautical Soci ety here. The two researchers said there is enough evidence in dicating the possibility of past or present intelligent life on Mars to make it worthwhile to instrument the first Mars probe to detect manifestations of such intelligence. The scienlists indicated that the best way to make allow ances for the interception or destruction of a Mars probe would be to install a proxim ity detector in the probe. This would preferably be one which detects the velocity of approach of nearby objects by means of a shift in the ire quency of a signal given off by the probe.

They re G0'ne It men were advanced only 20 years beyond our present capabilities, the scientists said, no artificial probe approach ing the earth would escape de tection, destruction or, possi bly, capture. Intelligent be ings on Mars might already have this capability. Importance Stressed The two researchersjslressed the importance of discover ing whether the canals and satellites of Mars are artificial and the need to get telescopes above the earth's atmosphere to do this. The question of the canals, they stated, could be resolved with a stabilized earth satellite carrying a pow erful telescope and a delicate aligning system along with a relatively simple radio trans mission system. But the problem of the Mar tian moons can be resolved only with a Mars probe con taining a small telescope viewing camera and a com plex television transmitter. Transmission of television pic tures from the area of Mars, about 50 million miles away, is no simple task. Assuming the use of the 200-meter parabolic antenna now under construction at the National Radio Astronomy Laboratory in West Virginia, and assuming that solar cells can provide enough power to operate a transmitter contin uously at five watts, scientists on earth should be able to re trieve up to 50 bits of infor mation per second. At this rate it would take several hours to -retrieve one tele vision picture. To counteract this problem, the two researchers suggested that some type of transmitting parabola be carried by the Mars probe one that could be directed continuously to ward the earth. Accurate Paraboloid They said they think an an tenna of compact, lightweight honeycomb material can be developed which will unfurl in space to produce an accur ate paraboloid about 30 feet in diameter. With sucn an an tenna, the time required to transmit a television picture from Mars to earth would be reduced to about one minute. The Installation of such equipment in the Mars probe would make it possmie 10 oo lain pictures of Phobos and Diemos that would permit the calculation of the diameters of the two satellites. In addi tion, the system would be ca pable of providing line aeiuno of the Martian canal network. Identification and location of any major sources of heat or radioactivity on the surface of the planet should also be possible. Mexican President's Remark Starts Wave of International Overtones By T. M. FAGRELL Mexico City-flJPD-The ques tion of how far left is left, politically speaking, has touched off a storm of con troversy with international overtones throughout Mexico, It all started when Presi dent Adolfo Lopez Mateos during a recent tour of the interior described his admin istration as "extreme left, within the constitution. ' The unusual phrase raised the question where the defi nition placed Mexico with re lation to Moscow? It generated a rash of con flicting statements, most of them from the president's subordinates, and had the im mediate effect of bringing of ficial opinion on the Cuban revolution to a boiling head, The furor started with an almost unnoticed rural chat by socialist-minded ex-Presi dent Lazaro Cardenas 1934-40, the man who expropriated U.S. and British oil holdings in Mexico in 1938 and who put teeth into agrarian re forms to break up huge es tates latifundos and give peas ants the farm lands. During a schoolhouse meet ing in Michoacan state, Car denas advised a group of some 100 farmers not to sell their land to foreigners for more "latifundos" as many in the region had done to wealthy North American William Jen kins, legendary Mexico resi dent since 1910 revolutionary days. Cardenas warned of "social unrest." The phrase got around and started backstage political whispering. A few days later politicos held a dinner in honor of Al fonso Corona del Rosal, head of the ruling "Party of Rev olutionary Institutions," and Manuel Moreno Sanchez, head of the Senate, and leader of a five-member congressional team which had ust returned from visits behind the Iron Curtain. Both men said in speeches the present adminis tration is "correctly leftist," which, they explained, did not mean Communist, but simply that it gave attention to the needs of the poor, the op pressed, and the exploited. Administration officials up and down the line took ad vantage of the opportunity to eet into print with explan atory statements that "this is not Communism, but attention to the general welfare." At the close of a 20-minute speech in Congress explain ing all this, Emilio Sanchez Piedras, President of an in terim committee which sits between regular sessions of Congress, expanded the "ex treme left remarks to the realm of foreign policy, and affirmed Mexico's "solidarity" with Cuba. The next day Washington asked for an "explanation," obviously wanted assurances the statement by Sanchez Pieras was not official policy. Belting Odds Favor Nixon in Election Las Vegas - IUPD - Betting odds on Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon being elected president have moved up a point to 13-10, oddsmakers at this betting capital reported Thursday. At the time of the Republi can national convention, gambler-hotel owner Wilbur Clark reported Nixon's odds at 6-5. The operator of the Desert Inn said so far there has been relatively little heavy betting on the outcome of the Novem ber elections. Foreign Minister Manuel Tel lo gave the assurances, point ing out that the president, not congress, determines Mexico's foreign policy. He also point ed out that newspaper edi torials and "other signs" re flected much popular support of the Cuban revolution. The oral fireworks went into full bloom. Charge Intervention Labor organizations and college students labelled the Washington "explanation" re quest an "intervention" in Mexico's internal affairs. Students demonstrated twice in a week, marching past the modern U.S. Embassy building on fashionable Re forma Avenue an hour after offices closed to jeer and chant "Cuba yes, Yankees no." During the demonstration in the starkly bare "Zocalo" Square facing the national palace built in Spanish coloni al days, they cheered speakers who decried "Yankee im perialism" in Latin America and burned a paper American flag. A secret service agent saved a cloth flag from burning, and police broke up the meeting. A principal reason behind the government desire to keep things on an even keel is the remarkable stability of the economy and the youthful energy of industry in a coun try which is now in a phase of production growth much like that of the United States following the Civil War; Cornerstone of the economy is the now unquestioned sta bility of the Mexican peso (12.50 to the dollar) as re flected by recent confidence of numerous foreign private financing firms as well as gov ernment banks. Retire Foreign Debt The latest move to consili date the tremendous gains of the present administration which began in late 1958 was the government's decision to retire the foreign debt several years early. The debt amounts to some 450 million pesos (36 million dollars), not a small sum for a country the size of Mexico. It includes parchment bonds dating as far back as the war of independence from Spain (1810-1820). The advance amortization began July 1, scheduled to be completed within 45 days. A number of smaller loans have been obtained since. But the most impressive this year, in fact, in recent years, was a 100-million dollar loan from the Prudential Life Insurance Co. Prudential turned tha money over to the govern ment financing agency, "Fi nanciera Nacional," for use at the agency's discretion. It re portedly was prudential's first such operation outside tha United States or Canada.
