NOVEMBER 11. 1962 Steinbeck's Prize The recent award of the Nobel Prize for lit erature to John Steinbeck is, apparently, not be ing well received by the critics. Oddly, the ones who are complaining the loudest over Steinbeck's selection are his fellow countrymen, the Americans. Prize winners have been panned or attacked before. Some of the critics have tastes so refined that no choice could ever please them. In the case of Boris Pasternak, the Russians were unhappy about his selection because his writings didn t square with the party line. But with Steinbeck, the critics are derogating the choice because they feel he didn't merit it, because his work is not of sufficent quality to receive that highest of all literary honors. FOLLOWING the death of William Faulkner some months ago, we attempted an evalua tion of the current American literary scene. We found it bleak, and suggested that unless the Nobel Prize committee should see fit to honor aging Poet Robert Frost, it might be a decade or more before an American would again be named. In the same appraisal, we remarked that Steinbeck's pen "still somehow, the prospect seemed too remote and considered. We've been wrong happy about it. TXITH all due deference to those immensely larger talents who have pooh-poohed Stein beck's selection, and wagged a for-shame finger at the committee for its less than elevated taste, we must say we think it an apt and deserved nom ination. We can't agree with the committee which found Steinbeck's work to be of equal rank with his contemporaries, Hemingway and Faulkner, but at the same time his rather considerable con tribution to literature should not be minimized or cavalierly dismissed as inferior. Both from the standpoint of quality and quan tity, Steinbeck is a major writer. His mind has been fertile, his themes varied, and his output consistent, readable, interesting and at times provocative. His characterizations are vivid and memor able, and his sense of human relationships, while perhaps too often larger or less than life, is accurate and sure. THE bases of the attacks against Steinbeck have, to be sure, some He has been too often preoccupied with pat ently socio-economic themes. His life philosophy is rawer more snallow than profound. His handling of sentiment true human emo tion lapses an uncomfortable number of times into a mawkish, maudlin And when he cets a ing for him in his novels, more often than not, he rides it and rides it long past the point where a more talented writer mounts. In "East of Eden," "timshel" seemingly occurs (it really doesn't) on every other page, l ie even His ability to develop of Our Discontent," is mediocre at best when compared with the real masters of that most dif ficult of all literary devices. DUT if success and reader popularity have any lJ meaning at all (we're vulnerable here, we know), then Steinbeck did himself an injustice when, upon being told he had won the prize, he stiid he didn't deserve it. His "Grapes of Wrath" is clearly one of the major works to come out of the great depression pernio, its accuracy and validity have never been successfully questioned, and it has been fre quently said to have been instrumental in caus ing legislation to be enacted which better pro tected the migrant worker from exploitation. It has been translated into several languages, and is standard required reading in most Ameri can literature courses on campuses throughout the country. It will be read as an ,1 i i i wiii uiiiiii i iv pernio in as the United States and qtience in the world. HlUla?.

The big R e p u b lican victories cast i.iiipniann of the Missis sippi in New York, Pennsyl vania, Michigan were won by conservative but progres sive men Rockefeller and Javits, Scanton and Romney. (I do not know about Mr. Rhodes in Ohio.) The biggest Republican defeat that of Mr. Nixon in California was the defeat of a politician who does not have the confidence of moderate men. There is nothing in the re turns to suggest that there is a Republican majority, much less a popular majority, for Sen. Goldwaler and those to the right of him. The Repub lican party will have to go to the country in 1964 as the conservative and progessive party of Rockefeller, Javits, Scanton, and Romney. 'IM1E Democrats have lost, If 1 indeed they have lost them, only a handful of scats in the House. According to the rules of the political game as played for half a century, when the party in power loses little if anything in a mid term election, it really wins a victory. President Kennedy has had a sizeable vote to ap proval. I do not know, and it may be impossible to know, how big a part the Cuban affair played in the outcome. But in the long view President Ken nedy, who is a man of the center, is entitled to feel that he represents and reflects a great centrist majority. To be a man of the center is to be at once conservative, In the Day's News By FRANK Americans are in complete agreement that in the death of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt we have lost one of our greats.

Mr. Kennedy has always- been a man of the center and in lead ing the Democratic Adminis tration to the center position, he has led the Democratic party to the place where the big majority live. 1'HE election has shown that the Democrats are still the majority party in the country. But, of course, they are not a united party. They are divid ed into three wings a very conservative wing based on the South, a liberal and pro gressive wing based on the in dustrial centers in the North and East, and a centrist wing which might just as well be called the Kennedy adminis tration wing. If we ask ourselves whether President Kennedy can turn his victory in the election into hard votes for his legislative program, I would guess that he will not be able to do that in any large measure. He is likely to do something belter on certain of his welfare meas ures because the Rockefcller-Romney-Scanton Republicans will want to identify them selves with measures that are popular in tne great urban centers. There is also a chance that, because Governor Rocke feller is a modern educated man in economic theory, the President may win support for the critical and important matter of installing an expan sionary fiscal policy. B UT if the President makes matters, it will not be spec tacular. There is no popular support for innovations at home. The President's great support is in the field of our vital national and internation al interests. Here his stature has grown greatly since he first went to the White House, and with the new international prospects that are opening up since Cu ba and the Chinese-Indian war, it is good to know that in the search for peace with honor he can count upon such substantial popular support.

(C) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate THE PRESIDENT'S SURPRISE PACKAGE Washington - For President Kei. nedy, the remarkable election result is a victory, and a potenti al trap - in short, a triple threat surprise package. i About the Presi dent's victory, there cannot be much doubt. The pattern of Aimp recurring off- year losses by the party in power is well-established. By all the rules, the Democrats ought to have suffered a sharp setback this year. Instead, the President's party has gained on balance. I The Republican successes in the Governorship contests were important, especially the victories of Rockefeller in New York, Scranton in Penn sylvania, and Romney in Michigan. But these successes no more than compensate for the Republican, defeats, and, above all, the defeat of Rich ard M. Nixon after a very strange uphill, downhill, up hill fight. The California out come probably puts the na tion's largest state into the Democratic column for some time to come. ' T'HE Democratic gain in Sen ate seats was solid and im pressive. As for the House of Representatives, the South ern seats gained by the Re publicans were taken from a n I i - Kennedy conservative Democrats. Hence the change in the real line-up of the House is just about nil. With good luck and good manage ment, the President should even find the new House easi er to deal with than the old House. These are the reasons why the final score is clearly in the President's favor. As to why it is in the President's favor, the answer is equally clear. Until only a fortnight ago, the atmosphere of the Demo cratic campaign was down right dank, to put it mildly. The President's barnstorming on domestic issues had lighted no bonfires among the voters. There was no enthusiasm, no spark to ignite the faithful with excitement. Then came the Cuban crisis. The President not only took the kind of action most Ameri cans wanted to see taken. In a moment of grave danger, he also acted prudently but firm ly, bravely but very adroitly. Cuba was the spark that had been lacking before. In some slates, the way the resulting fire singed the Republicans was easy to see. TN INDIANA, for instance, this reporter found two emotions among the voters -a great impatience with the Cuban problem, and a general lack of enthusiasm for Sen. Homer Capchart, despite widespread support for the Capchart approach to the Cu ban problem. When the Presi dent in effect crossed Cuba off the list, the Indiana voters plainly decided that there was no longer any reason why Capchart should not be cross ed off the list, too. In most states, it must be admitted, the political effects of Cuba are less easy to pin down. But there is no doubt that they were very important indeed. This is the opinion, both of the wiser Republican leaders and of the President himself and his chief political advisors.

MEDFORD, OREGON fl'llE President's opportunity flows from his victory. If the election had followed the traditional off-year pattern, giving the Republicans really substantial gains in the House, for instance, one can easily imagine the displays of feroci ous partisanship by Rep. Charles Halleck and others of his ilk. The U.S. government would then have been hope lessly divided, and therefore stalled on dead center. AS IT IS, the President can expect reasonable Con gressional responsiveness to his leadership in the next two years, if he is wise enough to recognize the potential trap that his victory also consti tutes. He is likely to fall into the trap, however, if he com placently says, "Well, we did very well, and we can go on from here with real confi dence." The Democrats most em phatically did not do very well because the President stumped the country talking about medicare and related matters. Social welfare issues are important, beyond doubt. But at this juncture in his tory, unless the U.S. heads into a depression, the Ameri can voters mainly judge a na tional Administration by its performance in the fields of foreign and defense policy. That was why, of course, Cuba was so important for theDemocrals.Ut is contempti ble and silly to suggest that the President was even think ing about domestic politics when he took action risking an H-bomb war, and took this action, too, only in the des perate, final nick of time. But it will also be unwise for the President to ignore Cuba's po litical lesson. rpHE lesson is not that the President must instantly seek more conspicuous suc cesses in the world arena. That would be both imprudent and impractical. The lesson is, rather, that the President needs to con vince the country that the same prudent firmness shown in the Cuban crisis character izes all the painstaking drudg ery, all the endless struggle with intractable, relatively undramatic problems, which is day-to-day foreign policy making. The country needs to be persuaded that adroit ness and courage are not just kept in store for the hours of dramatic crisis. It Will not be an easy point to get across. And it may not be possible to get across, un less the President recognizes the risks he runs from having an official foreign policy team that is still visibly afflicted with schizophrenia of view point.

It hap pened on the 99 Freeway south of Eugene, just after bringing my car to a halt after experiencing a real blow-out (the kind that scatters rubber Shifting to States into an economic downswinc last year, and would have 1 done so, almost no matter what the Congress gave him or withheld.

It is my guess, though onlv a guess, that by midwinter the, President will have consider-: ably revised his list. I In any case, most of the truly urgent structural chang es required in American life are local or regional and the arms of government that must come to grips with tiiese aw ful necessities are the local and state arms even mure than the federal. We are now an urban people, but our ur ban life is rapidly becoming planless, without order, -fantastically overcomplicated and overcostly. The great cities are doubling and trebling in size, while at the same tune dying as true cities, as true communities of men. utterly losing what unity they had in their spirit and thctr practices. in every direction). These men quickly appraised the situa tion, had me move the car fur ther off the Freeway, changed the tire and wouldn't accept any fee for their trouble. They must have been think ing plenty as they worked: Why did she drive with such a bald tire? Why was she in such a hurry? Why did she have to pass the truck? Why couldn't she hear our horn or see our blinking lights as wa tried to warn her of the flat? and, why wasn't the darn fool a wreckage? But they never said a word; perhapj they saw it all in my face. From their Secretary, who waited patiently in the car parked behind mine, I learned that these two kind gentlemen are Mr. Alt Mekvold and Mr. Dealous Cox, Superintendent and Administrative Assistant of the Jackson County Schools. And this letter is a public thank you to them and all who enjoy being kind for kindness sake. Also, it is a plea for pru dence on our highways. I've learned my lesson, but you may not be so lucky.
