IT'S "ONE WORLD"
En route with Kennedy
The great "sleeper" of the
presidential campaign has
turned up
over the little
islands of
Quemoy and
Matsu off Free
China
stronghold of
Formosa.
The G.O.P.
p r e s idential

whit. Rich ard M
Nixon, and his principal ad'
visers have reached a basic
decision - and a fateful one
to press the swelling issue to
me end. .
Mr. Nixon has left an im
pression that if he should be
come president he would fight
to defend those offshore
islands from any Red Chinese
conquest - not concede "an
inch of free territory" any'
where, as he puts it, to the
Communists.
Sen. John F. Kennedy has
refused to accept in advance
any such policy of implied
com mitment of American
forces. So Nixon now accuses
Kennedy of a "woolly think
ing" attitude just short of ap
peasement. Kennedy now ac-
cuses Nixon of a "trigger-
happy" attitude which might
put this country into nuclear
world war over two dots of
land and 'rocks not in and of
themselves vital to the de
fense of Formosa. Formosa it
self, he too, would defend at
all cost. i i
NO GREATER political
gamble has ever been un
dertaken - by both sides -. in
any presidential campaign
over bits of ground so small
and so far away. Nixon's peo
' pie privately concede that
heretofore he possibly had
been running a bit behind
Kennedy. They see the new
Issue as a chance to recoup.
They sense an opportunity
here to take and to exploit a
"tough" line leading the pub
lic to conclude that the Re
publican ticket would best
maintain "peace through
strength."
But Kennedy's people, too,
see the thing as a great op
portunity; and they, too, will
not flinch from its dangers.
They have always been aware
that Nixon had a certain edge
in his claim of greater exper
ience in dealing with cold

war problems. But here, thev
think, Nixon has let his foot
sup in such a way as to open
himself to the belief that his
experience has led him into
recklessness.
"THUS somebody is surely
going to turn out to be
wrong, terribly, about it all
The only answer of any value
will be given by the voters on
election day. There is not yet
a cnemical trace of reliable,
dispassionate evidence as to
what a majority of those
voters think now or will think
In the polling booth.
Over simplifying - as, of
course, the Kennedy .- Nixon
argument itself is being over
simplified in the suddenly
rising partisan passions - it
comes to this: does the public
believe Nixon s position is al
together too "tough? Or
does it believe Kennedy's
position to be far from
tough enough?
And through all the vast
uncertainties lying here, one
ironical fact, at any rate,
gleams through as clearly as
the sunshine of this achingly
beautiful early fall: those who
said in August that there was
"really no difference" be
tween the candidates spoke a
bit too soon.
MOST of the things -which
most of us were talking
about only a week ago - farm
prices, civil rights and all that
are still being mentioned, of
course, in this campaign cara
van, and in Nixon's as well,
which this torresp o n d e n t
himself shortly will join.
But how much do these old
and homely things now really
weigh in the great balance
now so silently, almost secre
tively, being drawn up by the
American public? Have we
reached a point where a presi
dential election is really to be
settled, to a degree never be
fore known in history, not in
the East but the Far East, not
in the Middle West but in the
middle of a world struggle,
not in the vast stretches of
this continental land but on
rocky pinpoints across the
world whose very names are
still unspellable to millions
upon millions?
One world. Is it? It is,
indeed.

(Continued from Page 1)
I believe in orderly proces
ses of government. I shall
hold fast to my own convic
tions and fight for them, but
if I am overruled by my as
sociates, I shall use only my
ability to win friends and al
lies by persuasian. If my ideas
are not always accepted, I
shall not proclaim that "ev
erybody is ' out of -step ex
cept Eddie and "take my Dat
and go home."
I do not believe that mav
ericks in the United States
government accomplish much
for the people they repre
sent nor for this Nation. .
While I am a Republican,
I believe that the most impor
tant issues facing all of us
today are non-partisan and
should be treated as such.
Kept Out of War .
This Republican admini
stration, with the help of
many sound members of the
opposition party, extracted us
from the tragic Korea conflict
and has' kept us out of war
in the most perilous time in
our history Our foreign pol
icy must remain positive and
unshakeable, our. defenses
strong, and our people unit
ed against a common enemy.
He wno attempts to divide the
American people for person
al and partisan political gain
is criminal in fact, if not in
intent. i.
Our population is constant
ly growing older and the
problems of our senior citi
zens more acute. As a physi
cian, I have been in an ex
cellent position to see their
needs. This problem is one
to be solved on the local
level wherever possible, with
federal assistance when the
proper local action is not
possible.' Washington, D.C., is
terribly far away from a se
nior citizen in the Fourth
Congressional District' of Or
egon. Our 1 senior citizens
should not become statistics
in a federal bureau.
Control when Necessary
I am for federal control of
programs to aid senior citi
zens,, when necessary; for in
stitutions of higher learning,
research, fellowshms and
grants; to support agriculture,
and to promote various -other
social and economic pro
grams only when. such, pro
grams are beyond the reach
of local government and lo
cal people. Because the fed
eral government owns so
much of our Oregon land
now, we regularly send more
money to the federal treas
ury than we can ever hope
to get back in services from
a government thousands of
miles away, controlled, so of
ten, by the large populations
of the East.
It is in the best self-inter
est of every, Oregonlan, and j
in the best interest of an eco-'i
nomically-stable America, to
work for the suppression of
the federal super-state, to in
tensify our struggle for local
control and the dignity and
freedom of the individual, to
fight for the integrity of the
family as the basic political
unit.
This is the philosophy on
which my actions in Wash
ington will be based.

Tshombe May Be
Brought Into
Congo Regime
Leopoldville, The Congo -
(UPU- Col. Joseph Mobutu s sur
prise trip to Katanga raised
speculation today that seces
sionist Provincial President
Moise Tshombe would be
brought into the central gov
ernment to keep the Congo
from splitting up.
Mobutu flew to Elizabeth-
ville Sunday to confer with
Tshombe, an arch-foe of de
posed leftist Premier Patrice
Lumumba. The army strong
man returned to Leopoldville
Sunday night.
Before boarding a jet for
the return portion of the
2,000-mile round trip, Mobutu
said, "I asked President
Tshombe to receive me for a
broad survey of Congolese
problems. The atmosphere of
our talks was very cordial."
Asks Support '
He gave no details but
promised to see newsmen to
day. Some Congo political
sources believed he made the
visit to ask support from the
eight deputies of Tshombe's
Conakat party when he re
calls parliament, possibly
Tuesday or the day after.
Although Katanga has de
clared itself independent of
tne Congo, the Conakat depu
ties possibly could still lend
their weight to a majority in
parliament since their seces
sion has not yet been officially
recognized.

New York-OIPD-Two money
losing eastern railroads - the
Erie and the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western - formally
tied the corporate merger
knot today and immediately
set Out to demonstrate that
two can operate more cheaply
than one.
The board of directors of
the new Cleveland-based com
pany, known as the Erie-Lackawanna
Railroad Co., holds its
first meeting here to map
strategy to make good on the
boast that the merged car
rier will achieve annual pre
tax savings ot more than $13.5
million within five years.
The Interstate Commerce
Commission order approving
the merger became effective
Oct. 15.
The merged carrier, of
which Erie is the surviving
company, expects to get back
on the earnings track through
elimination of parallel freight
and passenger lines and other
duplicating facilities.
Many May Lose Jobs
One problem that still must
be resolved is the fate of some
2,000 employees whose jobs
were to have been abolished
under the merger plan. Last
week a federal judge In De
troit ruled the merger could
go through as scheduled, but
issued a temporary restrain
ing order -enjoining the rail
roads from laying oft or
transferring union workers.
A three-man federal court
in Detroit will rule on the
issue which grew out of a suit
brought by two rail unions
that seek a four - year Job
"freeze." The case will be
argued Nov. 15.
According to the timetable
of the new road, the llrst year
of joint operations will see
savings of more than $1 mil
lion and -more than $6 million
at the end of the second year.
