It easy before this, is now
throwing the last ounce of

power into the struggle.
The Republicans are call
ing up all the heaviest weap

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

brought into the forward
line. The President is at its
apex-with all the Republican
cabinet members and state
and local party officeholders
forming the base of the counter-offensive.

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. ' ; . ' ' ;
For in this camDalen. as
usually in military actions

Power Said Not
Being Achieved
Washington -(UPD- Congress
has been told that the high
hopes stirred by the U.S.
Atoms-For-Peace program are
still far from fulfilment.
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

McKinney noted that the

Non-Political Atmosphere l
In urging that the Western
nations work together for de
velopment of both power and
non-power uses of the atom,
McKinney said such scientific
and technical undertakings
should be carried . out in a
non-political atmosphere "free
of excessive buffeting at dip
lomatic and administrative
levels." !
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

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.
