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." .

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

afterward by the Uorvalhs uazette-Times.
Excerpts:
"We also extend (congratulations) to the committee

the worst we have ever seen . . . Cars which are

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.

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.
