The Republicans are call ing up all the heaviest weap ons in their armory, including that of President Eisenhower. Since Labor Day they had practiced what in military terms, long familiar, to that President would be called a limited commitment of force, i' For : two months they had deliberately allowed the Ken-nedy-Johnson Democratic ticket to take, and on the whole to maintain, the aggres sive Initiative. By this means they sought to test the full shock' power of the Democratic- troops, .bending here and there before the assault but keeping always a second line force held strictly in re serve.

WHITE in the history of American political struggles. The Democratic commander-in-chief, Sen. John F.- Ken nedy, has his vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, on his right flank. He has former president Harry S. Truman in his main support at the center. On his left he has Adlai E. Steven son, former Gov. Averell Harriman of New York and a large secondary - supporting force of a dozen national politicians with national or more-or-less national follow ing. . THESE are 'variously, ad vanced liberals, old fash ioned liberals and moderate liberals, the latter of whom are essentially at home with Kennedy himself. Nixon for his part is seem ingly so much deferring, to others -t notably to his vice presidential running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge and to Mr. Eisenhower . - that at casual glance he might appear not to be quite the commander-in-chief at all. This, how ever, is precisely what he is. He gives the final G.O.P. or ders, as: surely as does Ken nedy on the Democratic side. It was Nixon alone, for ex ample, who made in the first place the great decision to wait until the last battles be fore committing the v whole Republican force. . : G.O.P. commander-in-chief Nixon now has this order of battle: ' on his . left flank, is Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York. At his center is President Eisenhower. On his near-right flank is Lodge On his far -right flank is Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. ....,.,.;.. THUS in both instances, and not by accident,"the center of the line is being backed up by the oldest and most prestige-laden marshal on each side - a former president for the Democrats, a man soon to be a former president for the Republicans.

This in essence is the con clusion of a report to the House-Senate atomic energy committee by Robert McKin ney, editor and publisher of the Santa Fe New Mexican. The Atoms-For-Peace pro gram was launched by Presi dent' Eisenhower in 1953. Its aim was to curb the warlike atom by promoting the peace ful atom and spreading its benefits among all peoples. But seven years later, Mc Kinney's report said, com mercial atomic power has not been achieved anywhere and is not in sight, atomic mater ials have not been diverted to any appreciable extent from weapons to peaceful uses, and International atomic controls have not been realized. Illusion Shattered And although American firms did sell a few atomic power plants abroad, "any il lusions of a major market for U.S. manufactured products were shattered ... at an early date," McKinney said. McKinney put the blame in part on what he considered faults in U.S. policy, on Soviet obstructionism, ..' and on the continued high cost of atomic power compared with power generated by coal,' oil, or, nat ural gas. , , . The report called . on the western nations to work to gether "at the frontiers of atomic science" to develop low-cost nuculear power as an energy, reserve for the future. It said international researcn should include work on "ad vanced concepts" such as di rect conversion of. atomic en ergy to electricity and con trolled H-bomb reactions for power. . - , - . . . r McKinney . and his, staff. spent a year compiling a Re view . of ..The International Atomic Policies and Programs of The United States" at the request of the Congressional committee? His report covers 96 pages. It is supported by 2.000 pages of documentary material in four background volumes. Not In Sighl ; " " He said, improved conven tional fuel sunDlies. notably in Western Europe, have put off the day wnen atomic pow er can compete with coal, oil, and gas. Low cost nuclear power is not in sight and, he indicated, is unlikely to be achieved before the 1970's at the earliest. . Rut hp said the Dotential blessings of the peaceful atom are as great as tney ever were. To realize them, he said, the nations of Western Europe and North America should "resurvey their posi tions and, if necessary, reset their courses." In the meantime, he said, the possibility of any impor tant early contribution of atomic power to arms limi tation "must be written off." Tn maklne the reDort pub lic, Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, (D-N.M.), cnairman oi me atomic committee, called the Atoms-For-Peace program a "failure to date." He said Mc Kinney's report may generate argument but that "its major findings of fact will stand." . . One of McKinney's recom mendations was that the next international atomic power nnfArAnp hp organized through the International Atomic Energy agency ua&aj and that it be held in 1962 in Bttsaia AnHprsnn said this proposal merits consideration. McKinney credited tne u.o. with taking the lead in pro mntincr nparpfiil atomic co operation among nations. It has entered Diiaierai uwnui groups. It brought the IAEA intn pvlstence desDite early Soviet obstruction. Money and Material It has contributed both money and atomic materials as well as information to these efforts toward peaceful cooperation among nations. But, McKinney said, though the U.S. "stimulated other na tions to become active in de veloping and applying atomic energy to peaceful ends," it did not "work out with them the mutually best course to follow." The result has been costly duplication indicating "a lack of overall perspective, an ab sence of collaboration, and a potential for Inefficiency in consistent with the Commu nist challenge." But with effective interna tf.mni pnr ri i n a 1 1 o n of re search projects, the report said, the great atomic labora tories of Western, Europe and North America "could repre sent the technological founda tion, for balance of indus- u In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS According to figures an nounced by the Travel Infor mation Division of the Oregon State Highway Department, 1,934,500 out-of-state cars visited Oregon during the 1960 tourist season. . The average out-of-state car carried 3.3 persons.

' . , : The missing , adventurers were Charles Aylen, 36; Don ald Trawitzki, 35, and Jerry Ball, , 26, all of . Puyallup, Wash. They began their voy age at Neah Bay, Wash., and planned to sail to Australia via Santa Cruz, Mexico. . ' The Coast Guard said a re port that the raft was sighted off the Northern California Coast Wednesday was errone ous. : : : "She's not overdue, but we are concerned about her," the spokesman ' said. "She's not the world's most seaworthy vessel and there were winds of 25 to 35 knots off the coast last week end.". ' The Leaky Tiki consisted of two 24-foot pontoons decked over and carrying a cabin. It also carried a radio transmit ter, a mast and sail, plus an outboard motor. A Coast Guard plane and the cutter ' Ewing was dis patched Thursday . to . search for the raft.' y ' SPEAKER i ; Evangelist H.

He recommended that- the Congressional committee con sider legislation to provide long-term authorization and financial support for peaceful atomic research projects un dertaken Jointly with other Western nations. Chairman Anderson said McKinney's report will "be given thorough consideration in the next session of Congress. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING Bl& l0ok at Jeel biggest Samond JEWEL i0k: y carat g 14950 k . Convenient Terms x m ij; quickly arranged I mm Across From Penneys at 103 N. Central Oregon was 3.85 days. The average expenditure per day per car was $20.60. The aver age expenditure per stay (3.85 days) per car was $79.31. That totals up to the. not inconsiderable sum of $153.4 million spent by automobile tourists in Oregon during the 1960 tourist season. In addi tion, tourist visitors traveling by rail, bus and air to Oregon during the tourist season spent about $17 million, bringing Oregon's income from total tourist travel in 1960 to $170 million dollars. ' rpHAT is pretty good. 1 But it could have been better,' ;; .--n.. ,,., . For example: THE average length of stay per tourist car in Oregon this year was only 3.85 days. The average number of miles driven in Oregon per tourist car was only 460. Oregon is roughly 300 miles across, from north to. south or from east to west. That means that at least a day must have been spent by' each car just getting across the state, traveling at fairly high speed. That leaves only a little bet ter than a day and a half for sight-seeing. That is far too lit tle time to spend in sight seeing in a state as attractive as Oregoni - . 1 ' ' This is the point: , If we could have Induced each tourist car to spend only ONE DAY MORE IN ORE GON, it would have meant an additional tourist income this year of nearly $40. MIL LION. That would have brought Oregon's total income in 1960 up to more than $200 MILLION. ' i LET'S put it this way. -We have in Oregon a State Industrial Development commission, It works hard to bring to Oregon new indus trial enterprises to add to our payroll income. ' In nearly every town and city we have a chamber of commerce that is working vigorously to bring to Its com munity new Industrial enter prises to bring new payroll income. If, in any one year, our State Industrial Develop ment commission and our local chambers of commerce could bring in $40 million in new industrial payroll, they would feel that they had done a splendid job. ' ' Yet here is $40 million In added tourist : income , to be had by inducing each tourist automobile to spend ONLY ONE DAY MORE IN our State. HOW could it be done? It would be compara tively easy. If every city and town in Oregon could organize its peo ple who come in constant con tact with tourists-hotels, mo tels, gasoline stations, garages, restaurants, etc.-so that the story of its resorts, its scenic wonders, its historic places, Its beauty spots could be told alluringly to the tourists who pass through Oregon .' . . too often at high speed in order to get to SOME OTHER STATE in order to see ITS resorts, its scenic wonders, its historic places and its beauty spots ... it could be done. - It's just that simple.
