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.

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.
Why expect inlereference
from Mars beings?

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.
