The Porter-Durno paigns of two and four years ago were charac terized by tactics which could be called "ques tionable" or "smear." This year, Carl Fisher, the Eugene Republi can, and Bob Duncan, the Medford Democrat, have conducted notably high - level, honest, straight-shooting campaigns. We respect them. "THIS does not alter the fact that a choice must be made between these two fine young men. For our money, Duncan should be the winner. Fisher's experience has been limited to radio broadcasting and to service in the legislature. He talks the F.epublican party line, and, while he talks it sincerely and effectively, it leaves some thing to be desired as far as originality in think ing, boldness in action, and concern for human values are concerned. Duncan, on the other hand, has mined gold in Alaska, sailed before the mast in the Merchant Marine, worked in the fields, served as an insur ance adjuster, practiced law with notable suc cess, and served three outstanding terms in the legislature where his colleagues twice acknowl edged his outstanding ability by electing him speaker of the house. JUNCAN knows the our whole society small businessman, farmer, orchardist, profes sional man everyone. He has proven his ability, time and time again, to the toughest possibly jury, that of his legislative colleagues. Those who fear he might be a "big spender" just don't know Scotsman Duncan. And, while he is a real Democrat, he is not slavishly par tisan. He makes up his own mind. We wholeheartedly urge a vote for Bob Dun can for congress. E. A. 1 Clear and Present Danger ' NBC's magnificent documentary p r o g r a m Wednesday night, entitled "Clear and Present Danger," proved what we have always (reluctant ly) admitted, to wit, that the visual broadcast me dium can, in some ways, outdo fast-produced daily newspapers in depth-probing and putting into context complex situations. This one dealt with Cuba. There was very little in the program that was really new. But, given a full hour and a half, and the talents of some dozen top-flight correspondents and commentators, NBC put together a clear and penetrating analysis and review of the crisis. THE principal difficulty with the TV presenta tion (aside from the persistent, frequent and adolescent commercials thrust at one willy-nilly), is the fact that, unlike a newspaper or magazine, it cannot be picked up and gone over again at leisure, cannot be restudied in whole or in part at any time, nor filed away for future reference. Within its limitations, did a superb job. Anyone who missed it, missed one of the best ventures into broadcast journal ism in many a long month. One ot the best parts that the missile bases in in a tearing hurry, thus Kennedy's sudden about-face on the urgent nec essity for action, as contrasted to his earlier in sistence that Cuba posed no real threat to the security of the Western Hemisphere. OERE is how things went, according to United Press International in a story carried the same day as the TV documentary: "The first photographic evidence nf Soviet offen sive missiles in Cuba was obtained Sunday, Oct. 14, when a lone U.S. reconnaissance plane flew over t he island. Processing of the film took until noon Monday, (let. la. Then piioto interpreters went to work on tlie film. "It was late Monday uicht uhen an analyst, work ing over the masses of tint with magnifying equip ment, first spotled what appeared to be a medium range inissie base. "The White House and Pentagon were immediately notified about 10 pin. Monday, and analysis of the film continued into the night. It was Tuesday morn ing before tlie evaluation report could be laid be fore President Kennedy. "Though actual construction was still in nn early stage, it is now apparent that by that time the log istics of the offensive missile build-up had been pro ceeding for some weeks and had gathered great mo mentum. "Cuban exile channels had for some time spoken of medium-range missiles, but professional intelli gence .sources had found only short range antiaircraft and anlishipping missiles as the basis for these re ports. In a few days after tlie fust photographic ovi denee, it was clear the missile build-up was going extremely last. "A picture of one site showed no missiles, a few tents and 4a to 5(1 vehicles. Twenty four hours later, a picture of the same site showed seven mis-silos. four erectors. 27 tculs capable of housing 500 men, and 100 vehicles. "Hy Oct. 1M. two days after Kennedy announced he would blockade Cuba, the pentagon listed '8 to 111' medium range bases, each with about four launchers.'' ")XCE again, this points up the weakness of the argument of those who would have had the United Statts intervene in Cuba before the situ ation there constituted a "clear ami present dan ger" to the U.S. ami its Latin American allies. Had this happened it would have been dis astrous for (ur liner-hemispheric relationships, our NATO relationships, and our posture in the United Nations. "Yankee imperialists" would have been the kindest thing said about us. As it is now, however, the Organization of American States, the NATO alliance, and the free world jjeneraliv are more united than at anv time since World Wjlr II.

Remarkable Abilities To the Editor: At no time in our history has it been more imperative that we elect to public office those candi dates who possess the qualifi cations requisite for the office they are seeking. For this reason, it behooves all voters to give thoughtful consideration to the merits of Robert B. Duncan, Demo cratic candidate for represen tative from the Fourth Con gressional District. Public office is sought by Bob Duncan, not as a means for personal gain or glory, but because it affords him an op portunity to labor for the bet terment of his constituents. Bob Duncan views govern ment as it was conceived by the founders of our nation, as an instrument to serve the needs of the people. Ever aware of this role of govern ment, he carefully evaluates each issue in terms of its ef fect upon the populace. Once his decision has been reached, he adheres to a plan of action designed to attain the desired objectives. Unlike many politicians, Bob Duncan never resorts to subterfuge or ambiguity to escape censure. In a frank, straightforward manner he willingly explains his position en any issue with which he may be confronted. Colleagues of Bob Duncan early recognized his remark able capabilities and dedica tion to fulfilling the respon sibilities of public office. This recognition of his ability was manifested by according him the unprecedented honor of being selected for two consec utive terms as Speaker of the Oregon House. Are the voters of the Fourth District as cognizant of this man's abilities as are his fellow workers? P.. Davis R.F.D. 1 Talent, Ore. Duncan "Unqualified" To the Editor: 1 regret that I must write that Mr. Robert Duncan is unfit for the office he seeks. Certainly 1 have no desire to further the can didacy of Mr. Fisher. Wednesday at the Univer sity of Oregon I put these questions to Mr. Duncan: "Do you support Senator Morse's bills with respect to the de portation of Mackie and Mac Kay'.'." He said he'd have to inform himself on that one; he could only give me an answer on instinct. "How do you stand on the Smith Act and the MeCarran Act'.'" He didn't rightly know for sure just which acts those were. He'd guess he'd have to study up on them. All of a sudden now every body expected him to be an expert on these national sorts of things. Thus I discovered that this man is utterly unprepared and unqualified to represent this district in Congress. It is I think largely through the irresponsibility nf the editor ship of the Register-Guard that Mr. Duncan is the Demo cratic candidate and not a brilliant and courageous man ! of proven ability.

For "De" Leigh To the Kditor: Just to set the record straight, and so that no half truths and un truths will remain in the minds (if the public. I wish to point out that I have known "De" Leigh since 19.18. and he is one of the most honest, sin- j cere and dedicated people I have ever known.

Clear" wa hhui necessarily represent the views of the paper; in tact the sheriff's office as a deputy sheriff. "De" Leigh came to work in the sheriff's office in the early part of 1946 after he re turned from service. "De" Leigh worked under Sheriff Gault as his right-hand man and became his chief criminal deputy, next in emmand to Sheriff Gault himself. I worked under and with "De" Leigh until 1 resigned in 1948. Because of his out standing qualifications, his honesty and his dedication to serving the people of Jackson county, I urge Democrats and Republicans alike to east their vote for "De" Leigh for sheriff, who, if elected, will in my judgment make one of the finest servants of the people of Jackson county.

Porter's Recommendations To the Editor: Seekers for public office would be delight ed if the undecided fair-minded voters would identify them selves in some way, say, by wearing red roses. These par ticular voters, known as "swing voters," may well de cide several important races next week. Perhaps these untethered, unpredictable ladies and gen tlemen would consider a few admittedly partisan opinions of mine, based as they are on ten years of Oregon political experience in and out of pub lic office: Wayne Morse, whatever his faults, still has more devoted competence than any 90 of his colleagues. As for Sig Un ander, his lushly financed call for "action" finds no basis of any achievement of his in public or private life. Bob Thornton, capable, modest and good-humored, is using hard facts to show up the fakery in Mark Hatfield's trumpeted slogan "Progress and Payrolls." The fact is that Oregon has not kept up with national employment growth during Hatfield's absentee reign in Salem. Bankruptcies ate at an all time high. Bob Duncan, as I have rea son to know, is a formidable campaigner with a record of effective leadership in Salem. Carl Fisher's record in Salem is negative and without dis tinction. Duncan had to fight tor tlie Democratic nomina tion. Fisher got the Republi can nomination because no body else would take it.

Since Soviet mis siles still are in Cuba and the agreement to remove them still could come New.om unglued, any attempt to look on the bright side now must remain in the category of wishful thinking. But here are some possibili ties already being discussed: The display of United States determination reduced the possibility of war by mis calculation and could result in a more conciliatory Soviet w r The endorsements were ad dressed to: "Officers and members of the Standard Rail road Labor Organizations af filiated with this League in Oregon." No implication was made that this was all rail road labor. Mr. Collom stated "very few railroad unions are mem bers of this almost defunct legislative league." This is not true. The league, according to the records in my posses sion, includes the duiy elected state legislative officers of the following organizations: The Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Em ployees, Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen and Engine men, Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Sta tion Employees. Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen of America, Sheet Metal Work ers, International Association, International Association of Machinists, Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America, and Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers. According to a count of membership of the above or ganizations, which was pre sented at the meeting Sept. 8, 1962 in Portland, this was over 10,000 dues-paying mem bers living in Oregon. The League is larger than it was a year ago. The endorsement of any one candidate does not signify en dorsement of all members of the above organizations but the consensus of opinion of their duly elected legislative representatives after investi gation of the records of each candidate and consultation with each other.

On the 65-mile strips, most cats were traveling from 65 to 80; the "maximum" had be come a "minimum." In the SO-mile tones, nearly all the cars were doing 60. In the 40-mile tones, 50 was the customary speed. And so on down the 'ine. Rigidly adhering to the limits everywhere, I was just about the slowest car on the road. Autos honked their horns and tore around me as if I were jogging on a mule - even when I was doing 63 in a 65 mile tone. I passed only two vehicles on that whole 100 mile stretch, and one of thtm was a combine just barely crawl ing along the shoulder. j approach to world problems. Khrushchev s pro p o s a 1 that United Nations inspection teams might witness the re moval of Soviet missiles in Cuba could lead to agreement on similar inspection of sus pected nuclear test sites and therefore to agreement on a nuclear test ban. The narrowly averted head-on collision between the two nuclear giants clearly il lustrated to other nations, in cluding Great Britain, that they could expect to be in formed but not consulted in any conflict of national inter ests between the two biggest powers. It therefore presented strong evidence for the prac tical importance of early Brit ish entry into the European economic community and for development of a strongly united Europe able to speak with a voice of its own. While the United States action appeared to bypass the United Nations, both the United States and the Soviet Union willingly accepted U.N. services, thus giving rise to the possibility the U.N. might be able to function as an Washington Report By William (ci United Feature Syndicate TWO BETTER THAN ONE Washington The fact that two political parties are far better than one has never been tyw ""more pro- r I foundly prov ed than now. 5 while the na- nun muvca uc- .m yond a honed- '"tp for solution of the immediate crisis in Cuba toward a world wide white snow aown with international commu nism. President Kennedy's bril liant and courageous handling thus far of Act I, the Cuban infection spot, is decently ac claimed rather than meanly denied by the Republicans. He has given the country strong leadership. And no tably through their two ex presidents, Mr. Hoover and General Eisenhower, and their present titular leader, Rich ard Nixon, the Republicans have given him strong sup port. Both sides, too, have gone about as far as human beings with human weaknesses could go in shunting aside what are, after all, the still-human dis tractions of an important do mestic political campaign. WHAT has gone forward to date, in short, is an ex hibition to the world of the power of a two-party political system with a built-in right of dissent to speak in the end far more surely with one voice than the hulking one party monolith of the Soviet Union has been able to speak. The point should not be over looked that all such evidences of indecision as were seen in last week end's breathless ex changes of messages between Washington and the Kremlin occurred strictly on the Krem lin's side of the water. J. Harris Obviously, something is very wrong here. Either lhe posted limits are unrealistic, or the motorists are making their own rules. I happen to believe that 65 miles an hour is fast enough for any car to travel-but the "auto intoxication" of driving at high speeds constantly soon makes us lose all sense of proportion. For instance, if you are driving at 70 and have to slow down to 50, it feels as if you arc in first gear. All speed is relative, of course, and if we pushed our cars to 90. then "slowing down" to 70 would seem intolerably irksome. And what happens on the highway is that our cars arc re.Uly out of our control for long stretches, but we aren't aware of it. Stirling Moss and other top racing drivers have said again and again that they would rather go ISO miles an hour on the track than drive SO miles an hour on the public highway - for the safety fac tor on the track, even at dou ble the speed, is incomparably greater. "In racing." Moss has said, "you know what the oth er driver is going to do: on the highway, you have no idea, and neither docs he." We desperately need uni - form speed laws, unvarying irom state to state and town i to tow n, to condition motor-1 ists to an acceptance of limits, j We automatically stop at a i red light, as an instinctive re- j flex action: only when we ob- i serve limits with the same; spontaneous reaction will vve cut our shocking rate of fa-! talities on the highway. i But They're Possible intermediary in big conflicts as well as little ones. Tne end result could be an important increase in U.N. prestige. While, as remarked earlier, these must remain in the realm of wishful thinking for the moment, the possibility received some i m p e t u s through agreement between President Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev that they have important matters to discuss. British Prime Minister Mac millan said it well in the House of Commons on Tues day. Calling for restoration of cc lfidcnce in a divided world, he said: "We must not be cynical, you cannot live in a World which has nothing but suspi cion, as it becomes almost intolerable." In this connection, it must be noted that Macmillan al ways has been more determin edly optimistic over eventual agreement with the Soviets than other Western leaders. As a matter of world co operation, it has been sug gested that a good start would be to find a way to a peace ful settlement of the current S. White And what also has been mem orably shown is the ability of our system to bring abso lute unity when the fateful national decision is at last made as it was to retreat no more in Cuba without sacri ficing something the monoli thic system can never have. This is the capacity to help a national leader not merely by rightly submitting to his decis ions in the end but by offer ing constructive criticisms all along the way to those decis ions. The Republicans made just such contributions along the way, before closing up with the President at the end. Nix on, for one illustration, did it by suggesting as early as Sept. 18 that while Mr. Kennedy had the final word, it seemed clear that "the flow of arms into Cuba must be stopped by whatever means are neces sary." He then first publicly used the term "quarantine." SENATOR Kenneth Keating of New York, for another illustration, did it by insisting that offensive and not merely defensive missiles were being installed. in Cuba. President Kennedy for his part has taken 'an important step implicitly recognizing the creative if sometimes annoy ing role and value of the minority party in times of crisis. This is his appointment of John McCloy, an authen tic Republican and a veteran hard-liner in dealing with in ternational Communism, to head the working committee to negotiate the Cuban settle ment. McCloy and his associates will not supplant United Na tions Ambassador Adlai Stev-enson-but they are to report directly to the President. WE " m ARE, however, by no means out of the dark forest. In the future, as in the immediate past, the President will need critical-minded sup port as well as uncritical sup port. Especially he may need it to keep down for good those latent suggestions that we should trade our military posi tion in so staunch an ally as Turkey for a de-infestation of Cuba. Nixon, for one, is al ready speaking, in moderate but warning tones, against any such superficial "solu tion." For this would amount to accepting the monstrous prop osition that an open and hon est Western alliance of self defense against a predatory power already stained with a dozen undeniable aggressions was really no different from a blackmail base raised up in Cuba by that hitherto convict ed predatory force in the stealth of the night. !

Western opinion might take the position that Nehru now is getting about what he de served, although that opinion might become less harsh now that Nehru has fired Krishna Menon from his Defense Min ister's post.

It has forced Nehru closer to the West but it also seems likely to force the Soviet Un ion back into alignment with Red China despite their ideol ogical quarrel.
