What lies ahead for Charles O. Porter? Our "lame duck" congressman is an able, aggressive and intelligent man, with a yen for public service. - And though a slight majority of voters in Oregon's fourth district decided he should no longer represent them, a large minority felt he should. His talents should not be lost to the ser vice of his country. , ( tie has announced law office in Eugene. secret of the fact that he would look favorably on an appointment under the new administra tion, preferably in foreign affaire, specifically Latin America, which were among his major in terests during his four years in Congress. CVEN the Albany Democrat-Herald, which op-- posed him as strongly as any newsoaneran the district, wishes him well in such an eventuality, acknowledging that, while it disagreed with him in many specifics, it still person. And Drew Fearson "plug" in a recent column, pickiner uu the sug gestion that he would make an exceilent U. S. ambassador to Venezuela. We re not entirely would be the best niche jgUT Pearson's speculations are interesting. "It may be that the rootin'-tootin' smear campaign waged by an Oregon doctor against Congressman Charlie Porter, No. 1 Congressional enemy of dicta tors, will turn out for the good of the nation. "Dr. Edwin Durno spent some $40,000 trylna to make Porter the blood brother of Khrushchev, Mao Tse-tung and Fidel Castro, and succeeded in defeating him by a narrow margin. "However, the defeated Oregon Democrat is an idol in Latin America where he was among the first to stand up against Dictator Trujillo of the Domini can Republic when other congressmen were getting tree noes to that country at Trujillo s expense or rc- " ceivlng medals from him. They defended him on the House floor against Porter attacks. "As a result, when Porter visited Venezuela shortly after Vice President Nixon was nearly killed by a mob .there, Porter was given a tumultuous welcome. "As of today, what the United States needs most is an alert American ambassador to Venezuela, a country next on the list to follow Fidel Castro toward -communism. In Caracas, capital of Venezuela, Com munist strength Is 8 to 1. . As of now, Venezuelan Communists are not tied up with Moscow, but could be very quickly. The move to nationalize the great American oil companies of Venezuela Is already under sub rosa discussion, and if it ever starts, technicians ' from Russia and Rumania would move in immedi ately to operate the American oil properties. "Castroism is slowly spreading through Latin ' America. But in Venezuela it is spreading at a gallop. The Kennedy Administration will have to move quickly to stop It. And the appointment as our am bassador there of the man who battled against the dictators; Charlie Porter,' would be one step toward It." . a . a ' WTE presume that Pearson's piece is pure spec TT ulation,' with' perhaps a hope that it might serve as a suggestion to oenan or me man rreauently praised by rearson. But we question whether Porter will get such " . 1 a a post, masmucn as ne was not a Kennedy sup porter in the primary election period, and sun ported him at the Los Angeles convention only because obligated to do so, as an elected dele gate. His first choices were Humphrey and Ste venson, a lact that rresident-elect Kennedy may weu rememDer. Porter has never been a "retrular." From high school on, he was a champion of causes, many of them unpopular. And he had the cour age of his convictions, even when wrong, which resulted in a lot of ammunition readily available for his enemies' use. This also accounts, in large part, for the less-than-enthusiastic support he received from many in his own uarcy mis year. THERE are some of Charlie's friends (and we class ourself as one of these) . who, while sorry he lost the election particularly one in which unsavory tactics were decisive believe that it may be a maturing experience for him If he had been just a J J 1 . 1 'Ail .... - ana just, a nine more 01 naa not laid himselt mute and misleading criticism; if he had not been quite so publicity-conscious in his foreign affaire activities, ne wouia nave oeen reiected.

This is a good place in which to spend a few days In the incomparable hospitality of the Mexicans, whose per sistent kindness is the last vestige of the Mexico one re members from, say, 10 years ago. Industrialization has ar rived here, and with it many of the heavy tilings and gad gets which at home.are so use ful to us materially but which so weigh down our will to take it easy sometimes and to rest in the shade of the trees. There is in Mexico no more manana, no more of the old wonderful casualness which would put off to the day after tomorrow what really should have been done yesterday at the latest. , a BUT It is a good place to stay a while, not only because kindness still lives here if manana docs not. This is a striking vantage point from which to view in rather re mote perspective the urgen. cies we have been having at home in the presidential cam paign and now in the hiatus between the Eisenhower ad ministration and the new Ken nedy administration. We face a time of ever growing preoccupation with foreign affairs, including Latin-American affairs, with Castro Cuba in mind. They face here what Presldente Adolfo Lopez Mateos calls the year of the homeland - the year of the country. In a word, the Mexicans arc look ing inward at their expanding economy and their wide and perhaps slightly extreme wel fare program. We are looking outward in anxiety at a great world where menace seems to lie In ambush in every con tinent and on every sea. casual tripper, such as this correspondent, should say he was sure on the point, on a mere few days' observa tion. But this casual tripper Wklta Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF : A COMEDIAN wangled a fortnight booking at a second rale night- club, then besecched an agent, discarded when the comic was in the chips, to "catch" his new act. There weren't fifty pa trons in the club the night the agent showed up, and they didn't laugh once. "This was an off night," alibied the comic In his dressing room. "Msn, you should have seen me LAST night." The agent answered grimly, "I DID!" 0 0 Bill Kennedy watched a doting mother dispatch her 10-year-old son aboard a DC-S bound for the Coast. "Now hang your coat up neatly when you got aboard," she advised, "don't go running tip and down the alale, take a nap, and eat a light Hindi. And ona mor thing: fly carefully." e Bill Warden tells about a harassed husband who assured his wife, "If vt keep on aaving twenty more years at our present rate, when I retire we'll owe two million dollars." 51960. tav tunnait cri ni.n ihui.d hv Klnn realurea Syndicate ONCE! S. WHITE would make a small bet that the Mexicans officially and unofficially are not really des perately concerned about Cas tro's Cuba or the United States either, i There is sympathy here with our attitude toward the smallest Latin dictator, Cas tro, ever to raise so large concern in Washington. For Mexico, though commonly described as a left-wing coun try, has actually an increas ing, rather than a decreasing, respect for capitalism. The po litical slogans sound pretty pinkish, but the chamber of commerce is an infinitely big ger thing than all Marxian theory. The Mexicans, save for a tiny and narrow minority, do not speak even faintly in the accents of the Kremlin. This is so because Mexico is having what we had after the Civil War a century ago, an enor mous rise in the propertied middle class. a THE old Mexican grandees are dying out and so are the frightfully huddled mass es. The new dominant class is not high and not low but rather middling. These fel lows, who have so recently come to a vastly better life materially, want no part of Castro. But they also are not exactly anxious to take any hand in any all out United States effort to halt that singularly unpleasant lackey of imperialist communism. They want to be left alone and perhaps we ought to understand, if not condone. There was a very long time when in the face of rampant totalitarianism we, too, only wanted to'be left alone.

Kossoris, Western Regional director of the U.S. Labor De partment's bureau of Labor Statistics, reports a drop of 0.2 per cent in Portland con sumer prices between July and October. Kossoris said a gasoline price war and lower food prices were mainly respon sible for the drop. The July-October drop put Portland 0.2 per cent below the all time high shown in April and July and on a par with the level reported for January. Average consumer prices in October, however. were 0.7 per cent above the level for a year ago. Timothy Tugbutton American By LYLE C. WILSON Washington -WFD- The Hon. Timothy Tugbutton stormed through the office today, kick ing copy boys and stomping the office cat. The old gen 1 1 e m a n was angry, al most mad. "Here it is," he said, "near the last week of November, Thanks giving tla c Wilson is over. Christmas shopping has begun. We're eating cold turkey at our house and the presidential election was way back there on Nov. 8 "So what?" snapped the office beauty, a Miss Ohliger, "So what!" shouted the old senator. (Tugbutton served a term. 1901-3, in the Kansas legislature.) "I'll tell you what. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves, that s what. "Here it Is almost three weeks after the election and we don't know yet for sure who is going to be president of the United States "Not only that," the Hon. Tugbutton continued. He Whacked the news desk with his cane, upset one paste pot and broxe another. "Not only that," tlfe old man shouted again. "The Con stitution says we won't know for sure who is president until Jan. 8 when the Congress meets in joint session and counts the electoral vote. "Why, the great United States has the 'creakiest elec tion machinery in the whole world! "Take the national conven Hons!

It is equipped with sensitive and powerful TV cameras, and its job is to send back in stantaneously pictures of what it sees as it whizzes around the earth. It's already sending back pictures. HAT docs Tiros II sec? "It I sees cloud cover around the world. It is this cloud cover that indicates what the weather is going to be, here and elsewhere around the earth. By sending these pic tures back INSTANTLY, it makes possible more accurate weather predictions than we have ever had before. These pictures can show the de velopment of big storms all over the world, and how these storms are moving. Thus tomorrow's weather can be charted. NOT only can Tiros II see. It can FEEL It carries sensitive instru ments to record the tempera tures of the earth below, in cluding clouds and oceans, and to measure the heat bal ance between the earth and the sun. This information is vital to weather reporting be cause heat from the sun is the prime force that makes the at mosphere circulate, thus causing our weather. TIROS II's machinery Is fan- x tastlcally compllcated.'For example: When tossed into space, it was SPINNING. If the spin had continued, its pictures would have been BLURRED just as yours would be If you tried to take a picture with your hand camera while spinning around like a top, But it carried DE-SPIN NING equipment. This equip ment, answering a signal from the earth, STOPPED the spin! SO MUCH for weather pre Hirtlnff. Let's go on from there: Consider this: ' IF TIROS II CAN TAKE PICTURES OF CLOUD FOR MATIONS, IT CAN TAKE PICTURES OF ENEMY I INSTALLATIONS. If it can sense and trans mit the temperatures of the earth below it, including clouds and oceans, and meas ure the heat balance between the earth and the sun, It can measure and report the heat of NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS Thus effective DISARMA MENT CONTROLS might be made possible! lyHE element of surprise in a- warfare is all-Important. If you can hit your enemy when he isn't looking with a weapon he didn't know you had, you have a good chance to knock him out. But If you know everything your enemy is doing, he won't be able to surprise you, If he knows everything you are doing, you won't be able to surprise him. So If the time should come when everybody knows what everybody else is doing, the time might come when war would be profitless! U'' at Election, write political platforms, and they re phony, too. "They nominate presiden tial candidates to run on those platforms. Run on 'em! Those platforms are so slippery with slick promises the candidates can't even stand on 'em. "Then, what do the candi dates do?" the Hon. Tugbut ton demanded. "What do they do? Why they go out cam paigning, that's what they do. Kasavubu Wins U.N.

Stranded Duck Hunters Rescued Eugene - (UPD - Two duck hunters stranded on a small island in the Willamette river between Harrisburg and Junc tion City were rescued Thurs day night. James C Murnhv. K0 and RupeA Park, 38, Junction City, had taken their boat up stream early Thanksgiving morning to hunt ducks and had expected to return about 1:30 p.m. Their boat was seen float ing in the river at mid-after noon and a search located them on the island.

It also mark ed a victory for the United States. For weeks, two separate dele gations, each claiming to 1 represent phii newsom Congo Remib- lic, had cooled their heels in New York hotels. The delegation appointed by the leftist-leaning Lumum ba had the warm support of Russia, and a better than fair sprinkling of neutrals and other African nations. The United States, other Western powers,. and most of the nations in the French Af rican community favored the delegation named by Kasa vubu. This week, the United Na tions, by a vote of 53 to 24 with . 19 absentions, voted to seat the Kasavubu delegation. m West Reports On Unusual Denizens Of Ocean Waters By DICK WEST Washington - (UPD - If some one told you he caught an in visible fish,:, you normally would assume that he needed to have- h i s eyes or his head examin ed. Or both. But when that someone is Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, the Smith son i a n Institu- Dick wan tion s curator of fishes, you can't assume what you normally would as 'sume. Fish - wise, Schultz knows whereof he speaks. He tells about the Invisible fish in a report recently pub- nsned by the Smithsonian on marine life around the Mar shall and Marianas Islands. I was going to say that he "de scribes the fish, but I guess anything invisible is inde scribable as well. These fish, known as "sand divers," spend their lives in the loose sand at the sea bot tom. They reputedly can swim through the sand as easily as other fish can through wa ter. Only See Eyei It is hard to tell what they do exactly because only their eyes can readily be seen. Their bodies, Schultz says, are as transparent as glass. Another curious specimen Schultz ran across is the dam selfish, which dwells In the coral reef among small sea animals which have poison ous tenacles. Other fish would be killed by the poison, but not the damselfish. It appar ently secretes a substance which serves as a anti-toxin. Then it eats the victims of the poison. Do you find this amazing? Very well, let us move on to the pearlflsh. There is a cer tain type of pearlflsh which spends Its entire life in the belly of a certain type of starfish. The pearlflsh live on the food ingested by the star fish. Like the "sand divers," the pearlfish are translucent. I don't know how Schultz could tell them apart. Lamp-Mouthed Fish While I'm telling fish sto ries, I might also mention a specimen called "galathea thauma axeli" which was dis covered by a Danish ocean ographic ship. It has a lamp Inside its mouth. This creature, a member of the anglerfish family. Is jet black and makes Its home far below the surface where the light does not penetrate. When it opens its mouth, a lu minous organism of some sort shines through the darknes. Othed fish swim over to nee what Is going on and are nver heard from again. This brings us to the sal About "It's a hoax on the custom ers, that s what It Is. And when nearly 70 million Amer icans take the trouble to vote on election day and the votes are counted, what have you got? A president-elect? "No such thing. You've got some electors from each stats and nobody knows who they are. They can vote as they please on Dec. 19. Serve the country right If they did, too.' But, while the U.N. deci sion went far toward recog nizing Kasavubu's right to act as spokesman for the Congo, it left the question of peaca in the Congo as far away from settlement as ever. Less than 24 hours before the U.N. vote, Congolese troops and Tunisian soldiers under the U.N. command fought a pitched battle at the embassy of Ghana where Ghanian special envoy Na thaniel Welbeck was resisting Congolese demands for his ouster. , In the end, Welbeck left. But angry Congolese turned on U.N. officials and em ployees, roughing them up and arresting several. At home, Kasavubu Is lead er of the Congo's Abako party and at 43 is one of the older Congolese leaders. He supports the principla of non-violence in the manner of the late Mohandas Gandhi, but also has been accused ot being an extremist and an agi tator. Among his people he is extremely popular but unfor tunately that popularity is confined mostly to Leopold ville. He has shown little ability to control tribal warfare) which must be listed among the Congo's greatest problems. mon, which Is familiar to ev eryone and particularly to Dr. Arthur D. Hasler, a Univer sity of Wisconsin zoology pro fessor. Hasler has been study ing the "homing" instinct of the salmon. In a report distributed by the Agriculture Department, he told of experiments to de termine how salmon find their way back to their native streams at spawning time. Tho experiments lead him to be lieve that salmon may be able to remember the smeil of their home streams. This may be true but it leaves another question unan swered. If salmon are so smart, why do so many wind up in cans? Rift Between Red China, Russia Seen Underlined Moscow -(UPD- Liu Shao-chi, Communist China's president and a leading theoretician, took four and a half hours to present Peiping's point of view at the Red summit con ference here, a reliable source said Thursday. There was no hint of what Liu said but diplomatic ob servers believed the length of It alone underlined the mag nitude of the ideological' rift between Russian and Commu nist China. Nothing Mad Public The source said the text of the Liu speech- was 120 pages long. Not a word of it was made public. In fact, Soviet newspapers have not printed anything about the conference! and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has refused to acknowledge it is going on. However, another Commu nist source said the meeting, now entering its third week, probably would continue two more days. Biggest 'Leak' The disclosure of Liu's speech was considered the big gest "leak" of the conference so far and thus indicative f the secrecy surrounding nie meeting and the state of af fairs between Moscow and Pelplng. The battle between the two Communist giants over how to deal with the West erupted In opposing editorials this week in Moscow's Pravda and Peiping's People's Daily. Peipine insists on empha sizing traditional, revolution ary methods of spreading com munism. Moscow says the Communist world Is now strong enough to spread com munism peacefully.
