NATIONAL
Sweetland Merits Election
. .,A week, ago, State Sen. Monroe Sweetland
spoke to a student assembly at Linfield College.
He did so, as part of his campaign for secretary
of state. : i
. . He. issued a press release covering the theme
of his talk ("When we do right at home, we add
to Americas luster abroad. When we fail to
correct bad conditions in our states and locali
ties, we tarnish our national reputation and jeop
ardize our international relations ) which was
mailed out to newspapers, standard practice for
most office-seekers.
A PORTION of that press release we quote
" verbatim, as follows:
." '.These remaining blemishes on the American
scene give aid and comfort to our enemies,' Sweet
land said. 'The question is asked: "Why, if Ameri
cans believe all men are created equal, are Negroes
and other minorities denied equal opportunities? Why,
if America is the richest nation in the world, are its
schools overcrowded and its teachers underpaid?
Why, if free enterprise is the best economic system,
do we have depressed areas of chronic unemploy
ment? Why, if we profess concern for future gener
ations, do we allow our streams to become polluted
and our fish and wildlife jeopardized?"
'Until we attend to our unfinished business, these
questions will be asked and America's leadership of
the free world made difficult,' Sweetland asserted."
THESE questions ARE
V 11 Ifllt IV Ul lUl
And it's up to the
vide some answers.
They are not only
debate in an election;
if America is to retain
its position of prestige and leadership through
out the non-communist world.
So what happens?
So Peter Gunnar, state Republican chairman
and hatchet man for the
of the Grand Old Party,
so badly out of context
nizable, and alleges that Sweetland is attacking
the "great American free enterprise system."
CWEETLAND yelled "foul." And we don't
blame him. It was a foul, low blow. It's dirty
politics, '. - , . ,
And Howell Appline
didate for secretary of state, on whose behalf
Gunnar pulled this sneak attack, not only failed
to repudiate it, but added insult to injury when,
in Roseburg Tuesday night, alleges that Sweet
land is attempting "to cover up a brazen attack
upon the free enterprise system."
s Later, in Medford, he blandly ignored the
first vicious charge (after it had been shown
what Sweetland's press release REALLY said),
and switched to an unconvincing allegation that
Sweetland had attempted to lie out of it during
a public appearance in Portland.
In our view, he has thus disqualified himself
from any consideration of support for the office
which he seeks. -
X7E decided some weeks ago that we would
" support Sweetland for secretary of state,
and this incident merely confirms and streng
thens that decision.
A little story out of Salem last month, which
reported that David O'Hara would support
Sweetland against Appling, is one example of
the reasons why we support Sweetland.
O'Hara, a rock-ribbed Republican who pre
sided over the elections department (part of the
secretary of state's office) -with skill, integrity
and authority for 43 years, also served many
years as a conservative Salem alderman.
, He was Ex-Gov. Bob Holmes' appointee as
secretary of state, when Hatfield's was Appling.
The court decided the legal conflict in favor of
Hatfield.
"VHARA'S failure to support Appling in this
election was the most damning thing we
could think of, for O'Hara knows the office like
the back of his hand, and if in his mind Appling
has made mistakes and blamed them on others
(as has been alleged), that settled the matter
for us.
More, O'Hara gave positive support to Sweet
land. He said:
- "I have known Senator Sweetland for many
years and regard him as a dedicated and re
sponsible public official. He has won the respect
of members of both political parties. He is fair
and impartial. I am convinced that Senator
Sweetland will make an admirable secretary of
state."
DY temperament, disposition, ability, experi
u ence, and by the respect he has earned over
many years as a legislator, candidate, newspaper
editor and publisner, businessman . and fair
minded politician, Sweetland is fitted to the of
fice. He would be a liberating influence on the
board of control, now dominated by Gov. Mark
Hatfield and his two appointees, Appling and
State Treasurer Howard Belton.
He is a fine citizen, deserving respect and
support. o
Appling, through his pettiness in political ex
changes, the mistakes he has made and attempted
to palm off on others, and, finally, his partici
pation in low-blow politics, has forfeited the re
spect he once could claim. E. A.

No Wiichhuniing
To the Editor: We were glad
to see your editorial of Oct.
14 on the case of Dr. Linus
Pauling, and wholeheartedly
agree with your viewpoint.
In answer to Mr. Robert
Howard's letter, on the same
subject I should like to make
a few remarks.
We have read the statement
by Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, is
sued on Sept. 30, s 1960. No
doubt this is the statement to
which Mr. Howard has refer
ence. We have also read the
complete bulletin printed by
the U. S. Government Print
ing office of the Testimony of
Dr. Linus Pauling at the June
21, I960 hearing before the
Senate Subcommittee on In
ternal Security headed by
Senator Dodd. After a quick
reading, Senator Dodd s state
ment appears to be quite log
ical, and the Senate Subcom
mittee's request something to
which any reasonable person
might agree.
But a second thought brings
to mind a different picture
What would they need to do
in order to determine if the
Communist party participated
in organizing Dr. Pauling's
petition?
Dr. Pauling gives as part of
his reason for refusing to fur
nish a list of helpers names
that he wishes to avoid for
them harassment by the com
mittee, or possible loss of jobs
In order to find any possible
Communists among the names,
the entire list would need to
be subjected to investigation,
either by the committee itself
or by the F.B.I. This would
mean the questioning of their
neighbors, employers, and fel
low workers; the scrutiny of
their mall to see who writes
to them and what periodicals
they receive, etc., etc. (This
does not imply that , mail is
opened.)
During the heyday of Mc-
Carthyism all these things
were common. At that time,
being investigated was con
sidered by many as equivalent
to guilt, and today it is still
that in the minds of some
people.
Dr. Pauling is well justi
fied in his fear!
It seems to me that such in
vestigation could prove far
more valuable to the Commu
nists as propaganda material
than the original petition to
the United States ever was. I,
for one, do not wish to return
to the hysteria and witch
hunting of the McCarthy era,

Sickening Articles
To the Editor: Enclosed
please find a cutting from the
Orcgonian which might ex
plain in part some of the
thinking of the U.S. Senate
Subcommittee on Internal Se
curity. It is written by the
man who . you charge with
poor judgment. I cringe every
time you write your sob ar
ticles on such people as Paul
ing and others. In' the past
some of your articles have
been SICKENING to say the
least.
Some time ago your editor
ial on peace through interna
tional law was also demoral
izing. You speak of American
sovereignty as something that
came CHEAP, for your Infor
mation it did NOT come
cheap.
According to you and oth
ers (even the Oregonian, a so
called Republican paper, had
a disgusting article some time
ago on the World Court) we
should turn over our sover
eignty to a group of foreign
Judges, many of whom would
have Communist backgrounds
to let this group decide what
Is or what is not domestic af
fairs. I think that this as a far
cry from what our forefathers
would expect from their pos
terity.
Your opinion on admission
to the UN and recognition of
Red China is in the same vein
of thinking. Should we listen
to men like Porter and Morse
(a couple of over-educated
dreamers, intellectuals if you
please) or certain Evangelic
als like Walter Judd, Dick
Hillis, Bob Pierce and others
who have actually been in
China and worked in this
field. From my postion
choose to believe these men
rather than some of the
fuzzy-thinking infidels. I serv
ed in the Armed Forces for
22 years and know some of
these things by direct contact,
Frankly, I am not interest
ed in politicians, politics or
personalities, but more espe
cially in principles. Expedi
ency in the long run does
not pay off. The U.S. has been
Euilty of this in many in
stances in the past and now
we are reaping the whirlwind
Principles are hard to come by
these days as the American
people have grown soft In
every way, morally, spiritual
ly and physically. And until
we the American people in a
majority return to where we
should be in all our relation-
shins. God will use Russia
and any other nation to drive
us in that direction.

Issues of Merit
To the Editor: As election
day gets closer I sincerely
hope that the two candidates
for the Presidency abandon
trifles and get down to issues
of some merit. I also appeal
to the voters to do the same,
By trifles I refer first to
discussion of Matsu ana yue
moy islands. Whoever is elect
ed as President is bound by
oath to respect these commit
ments or negotiate new ones,
this must be done only with
consent of two-thirds of the
members of the Senate, as
with all treaties and commit
ments with other nations.
Secondly, I refer to t h e
question of religion in t h I s
campaign. To question one's
religion is illegal, inconse
quental and wholly unAmer
ican. One of the cornerstones
of Americanism is the right
to worship God according to
the dictates of our own con
science. To curtail or restrict
one church or person is to
endanger all by removing this
conception from our code of
freedoms.
As to religion having any
bearing upon the performance
of duties by the President, it
is prejudiced opinion, spon
sored by bigotry, intolerance
and ignorance.
Our foreign relations? We
must have reached a new low
in prestige when our Vice
President was so scornfully
treated in South America.
The cold war has left us
with such frazzled nerves that
every time Khrushchev turns
his head we go into a new fit
of jitters, which has grown
steadily worse during tnis
present administration, in
which Mr. Nixon has gained
his much touted experience.
I don't like it.
Here is America, the stock
market jumpy, mostly down,
steel and auto industries oper
ating at little over half ca
pacity, building slowed down
to a crawl, lumber mantel
so poor many mills are closed
down right here in the north
west, and railroads laying off
thousands of men.
The Farm program? Its in
such a tangle that even the
administrate do not under
stand it. O
This 10 otprestige, this
case of national jitters, this
contusion and frustration, is
all uncalled for. These things
are man made, manipulated,

Pied Piper
To the Editor: Are we
possessed of a modern pied
piper? It looks that way, as
ordinarily intelligent people
go happily dancing after
youthful John Kennedy,
trustfully singing praises and
promises to his properly
blessed tuneful piping, fol
lowing him blindly to the
shimmering - surfaced sea
ahead. Doing this as weather
wise trained pilots like Nixon
and Lodge, Eisenhower and
others alike, look on with
amusement and worried won
derment, knowing full well
that the smiling but unpre
dictable waters can never be
trusted.
Mind you, if by rare chance
Kennedy and home-state dis
owned Johnson are elected,
then goodbye to all that Ei
senhower, Nixon, Lodge and
loyal helpers have fought for
in keeping strong the United
Nations, the Marshall plan
helping war-wracked nations'
recovery, fighting almost
alone for small nation survi
val and far too much we hold
dear In our homeland. For it
will give full leeway to Khru
shchev, henchmen Castro,
Mao and others, to howl to
the world how the American
people have repudiated all
the present administration
has struggled for.
This has long been in mind
but not fully clarified and
confirmed until reading the
U.S. News and World Report

Wanting to help with raising

Primarily my letter was
written hoping some qualified
person would take over the
idea and carry through.
First - "Self deprivation"
instead of "self indulgence,"
being well acquainted with
"deprivation" . because of an
invalid husband who has had
five visits to Sacred Heart,
all by ambulance, one trip for
myself for two weeks of oxy
gen, in three years.
Taxes alone average $10
per month on our home. Our
income is a railroad pension
and minimum Social Security.
We owe no one a penny.
Estimating county popula
tion at 50 thousand would
mean $5.75 per individual to
pay present indebtedness.
Prohibitive for a man with
family, many of whom are
out of work. Could he donate
a dollar? Surely there Is a
more m 6 n i e d family who
could donate much more to
make up the difference?
Ideas? Why not forget the
planned expensive holiday,
parties? Estimate the cost of
refreshments, gifts and send
amount to Sister Luke.
The elementary schools
have a "spending day" each
week. The principal of each
could collect the pennies for

he had been the U.S. delegate

But when Henry Cabot

Negro Vote Building
Power; Question Is Debated
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington -0JPII- From the
surprise issue of Matsu and
Quemoy, the presidential cam
paign detours
now to the
matter of
Negro in the
Cabinet.
Census fig-
ures, past and
present, sug
gest why the
question of a
Negro in the
lvi. c. wiitoo C a b i net has
heated up the campaign. It is
a hot question. The manner of
its discussion and answer by
the" presidential candidates
would persuade Negroes to
vote for or against one or the
other of those candidates.
The question of political re
wards for members of minor
ity groups is not new in U.S.
politics. It long has been the
practice in New York City,
for example, to balance the
major party tickets with rep
resentatives of minority
groups, notably Jews, Catho
lics, sometimes Negroes. The
balance also may be by- na
tionality rather than by race
or religion. The balance usu
ally is there, and quite deli
cate, too.
Republican vice presiden
tial nominee Henry Cabot
Lodge has made what sounds
like a solid commitment that
there would be a Negro in
a Richard M. Nixon Cabinet.
Nominee Nixon has not im
mediately confirmed that com
mitment. Democratic preside n t i a 1
nominee John F. Kennedy
condemned Lodge's commit
ment as an example of racism
in reverse. His running mate,
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, has
not taken much part in the
public discussion. Some Ne
gro leaders, such as Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell, (D
N.Y.), who supports the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket, have con
demned Lodge. Powell called
his proposal "dirty politics of
the lowest order."
It evidently is the position
of Kennedy, Powell and oth
ers that Lodge's talk is bait
to obtain Negro votes for the
Republican ticket. Lodge con
tends that he simply proposed
what he thought was right,
more especially because of the
effect a U.S. Negro cabinet
officer would have on Afri
cans in the United Nations.
Whatever the motives may
be, it can be considered that
any candidate who seriously
offends Negroes in the current
discussion is likely to be hurt
badly on election day. No can
didate outside a . Southern
constituency would dare of
fend Negroes, else the candi
date likely would become po-

Sacred Heart is solely for
the patients it serves and
would not the prestige of Med
ford be given a black eye
when information reached
outlying communities, that
after 50 years of "charity to
all" the sisters were forced
to leave town?
Who wants Sacred Heart
hospital without "The Sisters"

Prayers will help. However,
'tis the material most impor
tant now. Cash donations.

nicety.
Yet, Wadsworth's pleasant
exterior and huge frame - ha
stands six feet four and ad
mits to 240 pounds - keeps
the Russians bemused.
The late Andre Vishinsky
called him "Monsieur L'Ele
phant," and Khrushchev even
tried to give him a friendly
bear hug when he showed up
at a Soviet reception.
Wadsworth has been too big
for the Russians to handle,
and for most people most of
his life - although he's been
affable in the process. '
He is now 55 years old,
married and has one daughter
and four grandchildren;
He was a fine plunging back
for Yale. Later, he starred in
golf, semipro baseball, hockey
and tennis.
These days, he's starring

have more sympathy for what
the candidate does right than
to be critical of what, at a
safe distance, he does , that
seems to be wrong. And it is
