L Campaign Two writers Frank Jenkins in his column and the writer of a Communication today dis cuss some of the problems related to high cam paign costs. Mr. Jenkins points contributions are not, fore the election only knew them in advance, fluenced. Mr. McGarvie points out, quite accurately, that the major portion of campaign expenses are paid for through contributions, and not from the pocket of the office-seeker himself. If this were not the case, only wealthy men could seek major political oltice. INCREASING concern days over the matter Increasing sentiment up in support of proposals made over a span of many years, notably by the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, that campaign expenses be paid by the government. This would result in two things: 1. Everyone would know precisely how much a campaign would 'cost, in advance. 2. It would free successful politicians from the necessty of seeking contributions, often hat in hand, often with a quid pro quo either implied or expected. f")UR Washington correspondent, A. Robert Smith, has given considerable thought to this problem, and has come is not only important to ion and preferably by problem of campaign costs, but that it is one of the most important political problems of the day. We must avoid politicians who are, in effect, "bought" by campaign contributors; we must avoid the undue influence a big contributor can wield over a politician by threatening to with hold future donations; we must end the continu ing worry and strain caused by having to raise campaign funds, which in no conceivable way assist a man to do his best in an important job. There is little evidence, however, that pro posals for government-financed campaigns are receiving any serious consideration at the pres ent. DELATED proposals, however, are under study. 1X They would provide tax benefits for donors of small amounts to campaign expenses; remove the top limits on spending (now observed princi pally by their violation) ; tighten requirements ot listing campaign costs and contributions, and establish an election finance registry. these provisions are among those contained in a nackatre of five bills submitted to Conexess by President Kennedy yet been taken on these rather modest sugges tions, although they may be revived when the new Congress convenes next year. Moreover, they apply only to Presidential and Vice Presidential election campaigns, although President Kennedy sucuested that C o n tr r e s s might wish to extend them to other campaigns. a IVfHATEVER the ultimate solution may be, we " believe that the time is past when candi-i dates for major office should be wholly depend ent on their own personal funds, or on those given them, often by special interests with axes to grind. It is in the public interest that elected offi cials should be freed from their dependence on labor unions or moneyed financing, and freed from gle to raise enough money for an adequate cam paign. The sooner we all recognize this, and set out to seek logical ami workable solutions, the bet ter off will be the public welfare and the body politic. E. A. Legislative Pay Speaking of money and politicians, members of the Oregon legislature next year, for the firs, time, will be free to sot the amount of their own compensation.

Senate President Harry Hoivin recently ap pointed a non-legislative committee to make rec ommeiidations. It basetl its report on two con elusions: "That these salaries and expenses be sufficient so (hat any public spirited Orcgoninn ought to be able to enler public service. "That the amounts lo lie low enough so no one is en couiaccd lo run for Hie legislature a a full. lime job, therefore becoming a 'prolosional' politician." VE agree with these basic points.

Matter of Fact By Joseph Aliop (el New York Herald THE WATERSHED Washingon The removal of the Soviet jet bombers is highly likely to be the last serious act of the Cuban drama. To be sure, Fidel Castro is still refusing to permit the verifica t i o n by in spection called for Aisnp under the Khrushchev-Kennedy agree ment. But there Is a great deal to be said for continuing to use our own means of inspect ing Cuba, without being bound by the "no invasion" pledge which we should have to give if the Khrushchev- Kennedy agreement were car ried out in full. There is small likelihood, 'hcrefore, that the U.S. will resort to sanctions, in order to force Castro to ac cept inspection, thus, in turn, bringing the "no invasion" pledge automatically into force. To be sure, the Kennedy administration's world opin ion-watchers will not be con tent to let woll enough alone. But there is little danger that the President will buy any of the dubious contraptions, sup posedly guaranteeing to paci fy the Caribbean, de-nucloar-ize the hemisphere, tame Cas tro, and work other miracles, which are now being promot ed. TJENCE, it is now in order to add up the score. The addition suggests that the Cu ban crisis was one of those great watershed events that change everything, like the launching of the Marshall Plan, or the American re sponse to the challenge in Korea. Only consider the fol lowing list. Kirst and foremost, the Kremlin estimate of the United Stales has been radi cally changed. Before the at tempted trick in Cuba, it was very clear that the Kremlin was operating on the assump tion that the U. S. would not stand up and be counted in a real crunch. The Cuban Irick was intended, quite plainly, lo copper-rivet this assumption. Instead, the assumption it self was abruptly, alarmingly disproved. The necessary re visions in the Kremlin's cal culation of risks by no means I Insure the safely of Berlin, for instance. But they most cer tainly reduce the danger at !

The most alarming feature of the whole world picture. pre-Cu-ba, was the mass of indica tions that the Soviet leaders (bought they could kick the United Slates around with impunity This primary cause for alarm has now been re moved Second, Cuba has also changed lis situation quite radically within the Commun ist bloc. While a cheap but :rirclsive triumph over the "'est was still confidently hoped for. - the hone itself acted as a tension-reducing safety valve In Moscow and j elsewhere. The hoped-for vic- lory was undoubtedly counted 'upon lo create great Soviet op portunities of many sorts, and thee new opportunities. In turn, were expected to make ' all sorts of current problems easier lo solve The effect of the removal of the tenfiort - reducing safe ty valve is easy lo see Most conspicuously, tha Chinese S3 Tribuna Syndicate Communist attacks on Nikita S. Khrushchev have taken on a shrillness and venom with out past precedent. Unless there are political changes in Moscow or Peking, it begins to be difficult to see how the two leaders of the Commun ist bloc can avoid an open, final break: Too much that is unforgivable has now been said too loudly. VET the increasing possibll- ity of a Sino-Soviet break is only one effect of the safe ty valve's removal. When they look at their domestic econ omy, for instance, the Soviet leaders must now ask them selves whether they can carry the massive but always aug menting armaments burden for the very long pull-which is a very fundamental Ques tion indeed. Third, it must be added, Cuba has also changed the Western Alliance. President Kennedy and his policy-makers, with exceptional adroit ness, most carefully observed every possible form of polite ness in their dealings with the other Western allies. Yet the fact could not be concealed that In this crisis, clearly involving a risk of H-bomb war, the President made his- decision alone, with out prior consultation with anyone beyond his own policy-making circle. There was no other way to do the job. But the simple fact that the President acted alone, as he had to do, will inevitably and perhaps profoundly alter the Western nations' relations with one another. TPHE final result is not easy to predict, but it is cer tain that much wisdom will be needed for the unavoidable re-thinking of the Western strategic design. Fourth and finally, however, there is bet ter reason for hoping that the American government will deal wisely with this matter- for Cuba has also changed the Kennedy administration it self. The change is not easy to define. Maybe the best way to put it is to say that the Administration has developed much more self-confidence, a The Sanitizing Effect of Cuban Affair By ERIC SEVAHEID I cannot get Major Rudolph Anderson Jr. out of my mind.

The balance of power has been preserved, but the Cu ban threat is not entirely li quidated. Russia J long-overdue setback and her alarm over the Chinese attack on India have not yet yielded evidence of a reorientation of Soviet policy and the herald of a new world equilibrium with Russia essentially on the side of the West, fulfilling the prophecy of De C'.aulle. Should this miracle come, we would then think of Cuba as its point of origin; John F.

S. senatorial campaign. Statements filed with the Oregon Elections Division in Salem Indicate that $218,961 was spent in behalf of Senator Morse, and $132,322 was spent in the campaign for Senator Morse's Republican opponent, Sig Unander bringing the total spent in the Oregon sen atorial campaign to $351,283, or two and a half times the total salary received by r U.S. senator during the ENTIRE SIX YEARS of his term. ALL of this, of course, was in strict compliance with the law of Oregon on the sub ject of political contributions. No law-breaking was involv ed. But The election was held on Nov. 6, and it was not until the beginning of this Thanks giving week two weeks AFTER the election that this information as to who gave what for whom was dis closed to the voters of Oregon. The point is that by that time who gave what to whom had become merely a matter of curiosity. The water had gone under the bridge. The election campaign was a mat ter of history. WE ARE all interested, of course, in who gave what to whom. But if this informa tion is to be of any real value to use other than as a mere matter of news we should have it BEFORE the election. It might then aid us in evaluating the backing of the various candidates which would be useful to us in de ciding whom we wanted to vote for and whom we wanted to vote against. ADMITTEDLY, some diffi culties might be encoun tered in the way of getting the information lo the voters before the polls opened. In earlier days, these difficulties would have been considerable. But in this modern world of almost instantaneous commu nications, it should not be too much of a problem. If made available as late as the day before the opening of the polls, it could be received and digested by the bulk of the voters BEFORE VOTING. If made available then, it would have some real value as a guide to intelligent vot ing. When delayed until near ly two weeks AFTER the elec tion, it has no such value. HOW to put teeth in such a law? It would be quite simple. About all that would be needed would be to provide as a penalty the invalidation of the election of any candi date who failed to declare ac curately the total of his cam paign expenditures and the source thereof by a given date clearer sense of direction, and above all, a clearer, more united, more easily identifi able political viewpoint.

Comment A columnist who has par ticipated in many discussion programs passes along these tips for television debaters: "1. Recognize that it is im possible to win with logic in a 30-minute program, which comes down to 26V4 minutes after commercial spots and station breaks. "2. If the points you are making are vague, make them sound precise by numbering them-(l), (2), (3), etc. "3. If your argument on any point is particularly weak, state it with great em phasis, pounding the table as you do so. "4. If at some point your opponent haj you on the ropes with an argument you cannot answer, lean forward, look at him intently, and ask: 'Mr. Smith, aren't you a little con fused?'

Paris - There is much in common between the results of the American and French elections, the latter assuring that the strong, if stubborn, hand of President de Gaulle will be at the helm in Paris for at least another four years. There are three interesting parallels: 1-The French vote was an unexpected and overwhelm ing vote of confidence for Gen. de Gaulle. The American vote was an unexpected and significant vote of confidence for President Kennedy. The effect of the French elections is to increase great ly the power and initiative of the French President, even as the power and initiative of the President of the United States have been steadily growing. 2 Even as both the right and left extremists suffered setbacks in the U.

(All Rights Rasarvad) 6 the John Birchers being all mowed down in California the left and right over hers suffered reverses at the hands of the French voters. Ultra, right wing French candidates were crushed and Pierre Pou jade himself was routed. For the first time since the end of World War II, the French Communists lost their status as the largest single party in the nation, being far outdis tanced by the Gaullist voters. 3 France will now almost certainly be moving toward a realignment, and consolida-' tion, of its multiple-party sys tem a system which brought about the destruction of Ger man democracy after World War I, and which brought tha French Republic to the brink of chaos and revolt in 1958. The two-party system was re inforced in the American elec tions this month and the multiple-parly system was reject ed so decisively by the French voters that the very structure of the French parties will have to be reshaped. EVERYONE was surprised by the outcome except the French people. They knew how they were going to vote, They made the French politi cal pundits as red-faced as their American colleagues who in 1948 had "elected" Tom Dewey before the votes, were counted. ; The forecasters, all of whom said a radical decline in da Gaulle supporters was inevitr able, thought they had French history on their side. They knew that in the past tho French voters had always dis missed the strong leader as soon as a great crisis, which had brought him to the fore, had receded. They were right on history but wrong on its application. The crisis which continued to preoccupy tho French people was not the Al gerian war which President de Gaulle had resolved but the crisis of multi-party par liamentary impolcncc, a crisis of government which had not been resolved. That was the crisis-issue which Gen. do Gaulle put to France in asking the nation to choose between his leadership and a return to the perilous weaknesses of the old party system. France voted against the old parlies whose leaders were unanimously joined against de Gaulle and, in tha first Sunday of voting, gave Hie pro-Gauiiist candidates the largest preliminary number of seals in parliament any party has ever received in French political history. fJUIE ANXIOUS question -- which emerges from tha French election is this: docs the newly approved direct election of the President plus the large powers invested in him by the constitution Dim the successful appeal by Gen. de Gaulle for a National As sembly with which he can work does all this mean that parliamentary government is at the point of destruction in Frame and personal presides ,'nl r"'e indefinitely eiv throned'' This could happen.
