"At You Like It." 10. Th Mm. i Porter vs. Durno It so happens that we (the "editorial" variety) are personally acquainted with both Charles 0. Porter and Edwin Durno, M.D., the opposing candidates for Congress from this district. We have a liking for both, personally. Each is a "nice guy," affable, intelligent, con scientious, hard-working, dedicated to his own concept of the public good. But each represents a very di'fferent philoso phy of government, a different concept of the role or government in human 'atiairs, ana a vastly ditierent approach to solving public problems, AND the time is fast vntoi' miifif malfa u For one who holds both ficult personal decision. But, aside from the personal aspect, the choice on the basis ot which would make the best con gressman is less difficult at least for us. Dr. Durno is an innate conservative. The sta tus quo, with minor modifications, suits him fine. He recognizes some problems which must be dealt with, but believes is, almost invariably, the Congressman Sorter, not afraid of change, out new solutions. He is far more willing than his opponent to accept new ideas and new approaches. rR. DURNO has implied that, if elected, he will leave all foreign policy decisions to the "executive" that is the administration in power from which one infers foreign policy line of the G.O.P., without inde pendent thought on investigation. Porter, on the other hand, when first seeking election, pledged himself time to the vital problems ot peace and loreign affairs a pledge he has kept. This has infuriated charge him with being a ment," a gad-fly, and an to the far corners of the "VET many of Porter's first-hand observation, solid, responsible men lves to study of international aliairs. How else is he to make up his mind? And, while the Senate has the major role in foreign affairs as far as Congress is concerned, the House, too, votes on military and foreign aid funds. Porter can make the claim that he makes up his own mind, and doesn't follow, without ques tion, the recommendations of the state depart ment or a Congressional committee. I")R. Durno flatly opposes the creation of an Oregon Dunes Seashore, on the ground that it would be a needless that much of the area tected for recreational purpose, and that the rest of it should not be closed off from industrial or other development. Porter supports the Seashore proposal (and in this, incidentally, agrees with the Eisenhower administration where Dr. Durno disagrees), and has worked actively to bill which would set aside this magnificent area for the benefit of Oregonians and their visitors. Dr. Dumo opposes national medical aid for retired people, proposing instead a mish-mash compromise of state - federal - local assistance, coupled with private medical insurance programs. Porter supports medical aid for retired peo ple, and favors tying it in with social security, an organization ready to put it into effect. I"R. DURNO makes much of the "neglect" Which the fourth district has suffered at the hands of Congressman Porter, and declares that, if elected, he will work for additional port, har bor, dam and reclamation projects. (How he justifies this with his "economy in government" view is not made clear.) Porter, however, can point to progress on the Rogue Basin development project, which to all practical purposes was dead until he revived it, new roads, appropriations for port and jetty work along the coast, and additional federal de velopments throughout the district. And, despite some wildly inaccurate allega tions that he never visits the district except when seeking reelection, (see communication elsewhere on this page), he is probably more familiar with the district as a whole, and with its problems, than any other single individual in tor out of) the state. CONGRESSMAN Porter has a quick and in cisive mind. He is sometimes "erratic," as his opponents content. And we have, on occasion, disagreed strongly with him. But he is one of the few public officials we know who will, when shown he is wrong, admit it, and then, undaunted, seek new solutions. Dr. Durno, who gained a reputation in the state senate as a quiet, steady, hard-working man, is far less volatile and, we suspect, much more inclined to "let things ride" without attacking problems head-on. The difference is "positive" vs. "negative." Both men are, we emphasize, personable, able, patriotic gentlemen. But it is our considered belief that Porter would be, by far. the better Congressman, par ticularly in a world which is crying for courage, brains, and the ability to seek new solutions, new answers, new approaches. Porter tends to urge the Congress ahead ; Dr. Durno, we believe, would be far too content to let things drag along as they are. E.A. approaching when each phnino ripfwpon trip t.wn in esteem, it is a dif that a go-slow approach best way to go about it, on the other hand, is of experiment, of trying that he will follow the to devote a third of his some Republicans, who one-man state depart irresponsible junketer earth. opinions, formed from coincide with those of who have devoted their waste of federal money, is now sufficiently pro obtain a workable, tan- DtMinis the Menace xf TTTvn fe Hill '(b)U nut 4fn 'There's only one root eee, Jbev.

Senator Durno, is name-call ing instead of offering a con- structive program. Durno has offered a sound platform and this is a strange reaction from one who got into office with smears and vicious attacks -especially offering this criti cism of Dr. Durno, who is too much of a gentleman to bring up the complete sorry record of Congressman Porter. The state department had enough sense to see Castro for what he is and leave him and his revolution alone de spite Porter's embracing of Fidel and his attempts to get the U. S. to lend support to Castro. It takes colossal nerve for anyone to be as wrong as Porter was to still be trying to tell the state department how to run our foreign af fairs, From his seat on the post office committee he has tried to single-handedly direct American foreign relations with a view toward headlines rather than working for Ore gon. I hope the voters of the fourth district recognize what an embarrassing whooling crane" we have and see that he is retired this November. Russell Tripp 1160 North 25th st. Albany, Ore. Faithful Charli Porter To the Editor: I am con cerned about a recent letter of Robert R. Moors, M. D of Roseburg, in the M. T. Sept. 6. I am confident that most of the voters will approve the views of Congressman Porter. He does not claim to know it all, but he docs try to ascer tain the facts and not trust to bias and prejudice. He Is aware of the propaganda mill. He knows how the American people are deluded and brain washed. Doctor Moors treats the human body. Mr. Porter is a doctor" of law. Were I in need of body treatment, an M. D. would be In order, but in legal and political affairs man skilled In law or phil osophy would be a more like ly destination. An M. D. could hardly be expected to know all about national and foreign affairs and be a great success as a health doctor. Mr. Porter seeks health for the aged but he does not try to treat Uicm. He is quite wil ling for the doctors to do that, I think it is presump tions on the part of doctors to try to treat our political bodies. There is a different technique Involved, except that both occupations are sub ject to trial and error. Doctors can make mistakes as well as politicians, and pos sibly have as many to their credit. The lawmakers from Oregon are acclaimed with the best In the national capi tal. Most voters know why the doctors are opposed to Oregon's lawmakers. It is be cause our senators and con gressmen want a healthy na tion, while the doctors do not know what they want ex cept that they arc afraid of anything that they were not taught at medical college. No one questions the integ rity of Mr. Porter. He is a hard working servant, always available to the people of his home state, and if he finds time to work for the peace of the entire world that is so much better. Mr. Porter's record speaks tor itself and any amount of vllllficatlon and slander will not tarnish H. often th case. Day by day history is vin dicating the judgment of Con gressman Porter of Oregon He tried to straighten out af fairs in the Carribbean but get small support so the result was inevitable. Now accord ing to Reader's Digest, Com munism is a going concern in Cuba. Nature hates a vacuum. To clinch my argument in support of Mr. Porter I refer to an editorial in the Mail Tribune of Medford, Sept. 20. Title: "National Health Plan." The highlight is: NON MAG ISTER SED MINISTER, meaning, Be not master but servant of the people. That is faithful Charlie Porter. S. I, Dickey Route 1, Box 271 Rogue River, Ore. Porlar'i Efforts To the Editor: I would like to give the people of the fourth district some informa tion. - Many people over the na tion have asked who is help ing you In Congress to label shoes. Well, there is one man who has not only helped, but has put his heart in this bat tle, and that is Congressman Charles O. Porter. If you think it easy to in terest a Congressman or Sena tor in your problem, well you must have something to show that has merit, and need. Even then with all the things that come before an Congressman and a Senator, you have to have built national backing, as in the case of shoe labeling, before you can get any inter est shown. But in the case of Congress man Porter, he seems to grasp a problem, and feel the need, offers help, and then gives it. All Information that has de veloped in Washington has been sent to me, and many, many contacts that have brought pressure to get Bill H.R. 1320 before Committee hearings, Jias come from his office. He has never let down for one minute in the work at the Washington end. The questionnaire he sent into the fourth district, was answered by 18,509 consum ers: 16,476 said yes, 2,033 said no, on shoe labeling. I have worked with Con eressman Porter for over two years, and I can say that he has never let me down once, and has been one of the most kind and understanding men I have ever had the pleasure to work with.' So when the time comes to vote, please keep in mind that U you wish shoes to be labeled, then send Congressman Porter back to help me finish the job. 1 might add that many a letter from Congressman Por ter has come with a good old air mail stamp, so the infor mation could be sent to me faster. He did not use his free mailing rights. Congressman Porter has been promised full hearings In the new session of Congfess in January. I hope you will help me to see that we can finish this job together. As for all the other fine things he has done for the fourth district, please read his record of hard work. As for me I have asked much, and received it. Wilbur L. Gardner (The man with a SOLE) 612 East Main st, Medford.

They feel that so long as the vice-president can keep the country's interest centered almost whol ly upon the question of who could better conduct American-Soviet relations he will do well. (This correspondent's own belief, for what it may be worth, is that here they are probably right.) THERE is, however, a frank awareness among the G.O.P. professionals - though it is not shouted about the streets - that the issues of Benson, Castro and COPE are all potentially bad news. (And here, too, the G.O.P. estimate is very probably correct.) Accordingly, a good deal of earnest discussion is now go ing on as to how best deal with this unwelcome - and unconnected - trio. Benson, of course, is the Eisenhower administration's secretary of agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson. Castro, of course, is the bearded Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, who has set up a pro-Soviet bridgehead with in 100 miles of the Florida coast. COPE is the shorthand term for the political efforts all over the country of the Amer ican Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organiza tions. Literally, COPE means Committee on Political Educa tion. Benson's sternly-held farm policy of relative conserva tism is giving Nixon a bit of the shivers-all over the mid dle west. The secretary con tinues stoutly to refuse to con cede any ground to the de mand for higher government subsidies - and so continues to exasperate the Republican campaign people beyond measure. They admire his courage; but they deplore what they think is his lack of political savvy. THERE is an increasing no- A tion among them that per haps the only way to deal with "the Benson problem" is to persuade the secretary to take an official trip abroad between now and election day.

In Cuba any criticism of Castro is considered counter revolutionary and for him who commits such a crime the results can be disastrous. Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop KHRUSHCHEV'S WASHPOT New York - When Nikita S. Khrushchev stomped to the rostrum of the United Nations with arrogant self-confidence, he ought to hotr hnrrnw- I K J ed the lang uage of the 3 old psalmist's chant of vic- i t o r v. He should have intoned: "The U. N. is my wash-not- over Afri ca will I cast out my shoe; Latin America, be thou giaa of me!" That gives the best idea of Khrushchev's tone before the United Nations, at any rate. And the tone Khrushchev took, on this important occas ion, was more truly signifi cant than the substance of what he had to say. In the ludicrously unreal atmosphere of the modern parliament of man, the sub stance of Khrushchev's out raeeous U. N. speech is of course getting a lot of atten tion. The U. N. delegates of tho "unenmmitted nations1 ni-A ciinnnepH tn have been gratifyingly impressed by the contrast between Khrush chev's violence and President Eisenhower's moderation. Only conversation about th weather could b less mean ingful. IT IS perfectly natural for people to think that the President is a very nice man, and that Khrushchev is not a very nice man; but, alas, it is also perfectly meaningless if they do so. What has mean ing, in this harsh world, is the success or failure of the nice man or the evil man, And Khrushchev's arrogance resulted, quite obviously, from expectation of success, just as his violence reflected his fury over a partial set back in the Congo. The drama in the Congo was the direct cause of Khrushchev's shocking attack on U. N. Secretary General Hammerskjold, Yet the Con go story also indicates why Khrushchev expects success in his world plan. In the Congo, it must be understood, the Soviet design to establish a Communist base in the rich heart of Africa has had the active support, from the very outset, of the two most significant independ ent powers of the African continent, Egypt and Ghana. And this Soviet design has also had the useful aid of another African nation, Gui nea, which has contributed tion, buf to do so as inoffen sively as possible, "The COPE problem" Is per haps the worst of all, from Nixon's standpoint. Big labor has opened an all-out drive to register voters for November, There is an undoubtedly at tainable goal of several mil lions of new registrants - and nobody supposed that COPE will go out of its way to reg ister vast numbers of Repub licans. In New York state alone, for example, COPE is putting 10,000 registration orkers into the field, t 1IOW TO meet this one has 1 the Republicans sadly scratching their heads. Their own traditional allies, the business and professional men, have neither the organi zation nor the zealous parti sanship to match COPE. Here, therefore, the only real Nixon solution Is to stir up as much registration help as may be- and then simply to hope for the best. It is difficult for him to discern any large silver lin ing here-and the more so be cause a recent galluo Doll says that the new young vot ers, in tne zi to 2 age brack et, seem to favor Kennedy over Nixon by about t to 4.

N. in th THE extent of this support for the Soviet design has been revealed by documents captured after Colonel Mobu tu's military coup d'etat had temporarily broken the pow. er of the Soviet front man in the Congo, Patrice Lumumba. These documents, thus far unpublished, have been for warded to the U. N. by th Congo government, with the request, thus far totally ig. nored, for the removal of tha Guinea and Ghana contingents in the U. N. force in th Congo. The light thrown on th role of the Ghana leader, Kwame Nkrumah, is especial, ly interesting. The documents show the organization, with Ghana's aid, of an immense influx into the Congo of es pecially trained Russian mili. tary officers and other tech nical personnel. No less than 500 visas were issued to sucn Soviet agents in a single week by the Ghana Ambassador in Moscow. The transit of these people to the Congo was also assisted by Ghana. In this manner, quite large ly by the agency of on ol the countries supposedly act ing for the U. N. In the Con go, a horde of 2,000 Soviet and Czech personnel had moved into the Congo. They were well on the way to tak ing over all key postiions there, when Colnnpl iMnii,,-,, staged his military coup d'etat. inereatter, as the captured documents also show, the Ghana government actually ordered its forces in the Con go to defy United Nations orders, if this was necessary to protect Soviet front man Lumumba from arrest. As these words are written, Lumumba is still being duly protected. At the same time, the Representatives of Tu nisia and Morocco have also combined with the Egyptians, the Ghanaians, and the Guin eans, in order to put heavy, joint pressure on Congolese President Joseph Kasavubu to give his unhappy country back to Patrice Lumumba. The outcome is uncertain. But it is clearly better to judge the opinions of "uncommit ted nations" by their actions in this critical situation in the Congo, than by any vaporings nere in tne united Nations. THE ugly question remains, Whv thpcA ft.rp urtuarn. ments, none of them Commu nist, should annarentlv wish to Install a Communist con trolled ffovernment In tha very heart of the African con tinent? In each case, there are spe cial reasons.
