Douglas on
"The curious man the dissenter the innovator
one who taunts and teases or makes a caricature of
prejudices, is often our salvation. Yet throughout his
tory he has been burned or booed, hanged or exiled,
imprisoned or tortured, for pricking the bubble of
contemporary dogma."
This quotation is from Supreme Court Justice
William 0. Douglas. It is of particular interest,
for it describes, in no small way, the kind of man
Justice Douglas is himself.
He is a curious man, a dissenter. He has been
booed and derided, and only the fact of his posi
tion, and the freedom we still enjoy in the United
States, has saved him from sterner measures of
disapproval.
He is no Voltaire, no pamphleteering Tom
Paine, no burster of pompous bubbles with the
pen of satire like Artemus Ward or Petroleum
V. Nasby. Yet often, both on and off the bench,
he has spoken out vigorously for freedom, for
justice, for mercy.
"ORTHODOXY and conformity a certain de
gree of each is necessary for an orderly so
ciety. Yet if they are permitted to stifle all un
orthodoxy and all non-conformity, freedom dies.
The witch-hunters who would brand as
"pinko" or "commie" anyone who honestly seeks
the truth, no matter what its origin, and welcomes
the free play of argument and controversy, ac
tually are fearful men fearful of "dangerous"
ideas and "subversive" doctrines.
Justice Douglas has been the target of some
such slings and arrows, for he has not been afraid
to listen to new ideas, and to voice some of his
own, which have been heretical to some of the
nation's little orthodoxies.
He is the kind of man this nation needs
a man who is imbued with the doctrines of a
free and open society, and Is not afraid to speak
out for them. E.A.
Henry Ford's Full Circle
Who, more than any single man, has done
the most to remake the face of America?
A good case could be made for Henry Ford,
who, through mass production, first made auto
mobiles available to virtually every American
family. And it has been the automobile which
has changed America more than any other single
factor.
It is remaking cities. Witness Los Angeles,
where one-third or more of the downtown area
is devoted to streets, freeways, parking lots and
garages.
A NY American city seen from the air presents
"a similar picture, with acre after acre of
colored car-tops visible, in lots, on roofs any
where they can be jammed.
In Portland the other day, Portland State Col
lege said it is asking permission to spend $885,
000 to buy areas to accommodate student and
faculty cars.
The University of Oregon is planning to pay
a consulting firm some
parking needs and solutions on and around the
campus.
I he shopping center
automobile, due to the unwillingness of Ameri
cans to walk more than a block or so, coupled
with ample parking space.
TP IE development is circular, rather than linear.
The Oregon Statesman comments:
"Our fantastic use of cars is forcing us to decen
tralize Just to make room for them . . , The more we
decentralize our stores, businesses, schools, the more
essential the private automobile becomes, and the
more difficult it is to provide a public transportation
system which is convenient and inexpensive.
"The more we rely on gasoline engines to curry
us within our urban living areas, the more we pollute
the air. As the circle swings 'round, we approach the
ultimate limits in si reel capacity (in Los Angeles),
the creation of a deadly atmosphere in our cities
(in London) and the most expensive item in the family
budget. iSalem people, for instance, pay one quarter
of their income for transportation and its allied
expenses. )
"It will lake drastic action to slop this vicious
circle . . .
"Until the true nature of this emergency is rec
ognized, the present dinosaur era of transportation will
force educators, businessmen and taxpayers to pay it
homage In the form of larger parking lots."
jWIEDFOKD is still a small city, where one can
drive across town in less than 10 minutes,
even tit peak traffic hours. Hut the handwriting
is on the wall, and changes are going to have to
be made.
In some cities, notably San Francicso, a limit
has been reached. Located on the tip of a crowd
ed penninstila with little more room for spread
ing out, San Francisco daily has four major high
ways pouring into it thousands upon thousands
of ears. Thus the people of the Bay Area, fed up
with mounting congestion and traffic jams, vot
ed to bond themselves to the tune of more than
throe-quarters of a billion dollars to establish a
rapid transit system.

THE TROUBLES OF
GOVERNING
The coming controversy
about the rules of the two
Houses of Congress Is our
own version
of a problem
which is
troubling all
the big dem
ocracies. How
can democrat
ic government
which was
conceived and
established in
LiDDmann a very differ
ent era from this one, be
made fit for the crises and
the tempo and the complex
ities of the modern age? No
big country has yet shown
how to produce a satisfac
tory government when
there is liberty to dissent and
agitate, where there is a
massive electorate and the
territory is big enough to
comprise conflicting sectional
and occupational interests.
The good government
which we are looking for is
one which is stable though
it can be voted out of office,
that Is strong enough to act
decisively in international
affairs and strong enough to
resist the hysteria of the
crowd, that has enough au
thority to Impose the national
interest upon the conflict of
special interests.
WHETHER this is a Utopian
dream or a description of
the bare minimum that is
needed for the survival of a
good society, the fact is that
in the big democracies of
Western Europe, in Britain,
France, Germany, and Italy,
and in the United States and
Canada in North America,
there is a wide concern that
the governments they have
been electing are inadequate
to their needs.
This has been the feeling
which brought about Gen. dc
Gaulle's return lo power and
approves of, or at least con
sents to, his revolutionary
assault on representative par
liamentary government. We
cannot as yet see where
Gaullism will end. But ideo
logically, it is for freedom
and against democracy It is
for personal liberty under
authoritarian rule. While it
is preserving the liberties
which were generated in Eu
rope in the eighteenth and
earlier centuries, it is host(lc
lo and scornful of niuelecpili
century democracy with its
massive electorates, its par
tics, and its parliaments.
'AULLISM is 8 rmiieul
' nuivmuMit which is biMin
watched with awe and anx
iety in the rest if Western
Kurope, particularly in the
German Federal Republic and
in Italy. In Wo-t Germany the
commit departure of Dr. Ade
nauer, that unique Million
tarian patriarch who is also
anti-PriLNMNti and anti-Nazi,
raises for Hie f ir.-t time since
the Second World War the
question of how democratic
Germany can organize an ade
quate government. It cannot
be fornotten that the Ger
niiuis afler the first World
War were unable to do that.
In Italv today there i be
inn earned on a trial run of
the only visible alternative
to a Gaullist Kurope. It con
sists of an alliance beivv cen
IVuiocratie Socialists and
Christian Democrats. To make
the alliance work he Soeial
it. have to get free of the
totalitanans, thai is the Coin
muni.sts. on their left, the
Christian Pem.vrats have to
Set free of the reactionary
and IdseiM remiuou, on their
rich. If the alliance can be
I consolidated, winch will be
j tested m the coming elec
tions tin spring, there will
bo a o!id majority for a
democratic proj;resiv j;ov-
eminent. This is intended to
be the alternative to Gaul
lism. IT is Interesting and impor
tant to note that in West
Germany there is a growing
tendency to unite on the
same formula which is now
on trial in Italy. It is called
in Germany the Grand Co
alition - the coalition of the
two largest parties, the
Christian Democrats and the
Social Democrats. Such a gov
ernment would be the suc
cessor of the Christian Dem
ocratic governments of Dr.
Adenauer's heyday and of his
unstable combinations with
the smaller parties which
have been used since his pow
er began to decline.
The Grand Coalition can
not be put together under Dr.
Adenauer because the parti
san memories are too bitter.
It is being held in reserve for
his departure by the leaders
both of the Christian Dem
ocrats and of the Social Dem
ocrats. That departure may in
fact come sooner tha the of
ficial date, which is Oct. 1.
CONSIDERING the difficul-V-
ty of modern government,
considering that the alterna
tive is some kind of strong
man rule, these coalition ex
periments will no doubt have
to be made. Though we have
reason to watch them with
sympathy, we cannot forget
that as long as the coalitions
hold together, there will be
no two-party system, there
will be no competent demo
cratic opposition which could
take over the government.
The bipartisan coalition gov
ernments must succeed, for
there is no orderly alternative
to them.
It should, however, be
noted that in this respect
Italy and Germany will be no
worse off than France, where
there is not now any orderly
alternative to Gen. de Gaulle.
HPIIE American version of
A the problem arises, as I
see il, out of the fact that the
American form of govern
ment cannot be operated at
all in wartime, and cannot
be operated successfully in
peacetime, except under
Presidential leadership. In
domestic affairs, which in
clude such external aflaus as
tariffs, foreign aid, and the
character ot Ihc defense
structure, Presidential lead
ership is checked and balanc
ed and is often vetoed and
frustrated by the rules of
Congress, including particu
larly the rule of seniority and
the entrenched power of the
standing committees.
II will be a labor of Her
cules to reform the system.
But if the American govern
nient is to be adequate to the
times we live in. wo have
to begin the reform. For my
self, I would begin in the
House Willi a concentrated as

trary and high handed usur

THE ROW ABOUT DEFENSE
Washington-Among the
high officials of the Kennedy
administration, Secretary of
Defense Robert McNamara
has come closest to enjoying a
happy immu
nity from pub
lic attack. But
he If now
likely to
make up for
lost time.
The cancel
lation of the
Skybolt con
tract, which
Aiinp has already
had such seismic effects in
Britain, will also trigger a
major row in the coming ses
sion of Congress. Sen. Stuart
Symington of Missouri, for
instance, has thus far more
or less gone along with McNa
mara, often more or less un
happily. But Symington has
already notified the pentagon
that he cannot go along this
time.
The- chairmen of the two
Armed Services Committees,
Sen. Richard Russell o f
Georgia and Rep. Carl Vinson
of Georgia, have not exactly
declared war. But they have
emphatically declared for the
fullest ventilation of this con
troversial problem. Hence it
may be as well to try to get
the basic facts straight now.
TiO begin with, Secretary
McNamara and President
Kennedy decided to terminate
the Skybolt project not just
because of technological diffi
culties, but on other grounds
as well. The most important
was expense. With the new
defense budget running close
to $54 billion, and with the
actual rate of next year's de
fense spending forecast to ex
ceed $52 billion, cutting out
non-essentials was imperative.
Skybolt, in turn, was held
to be non-essential for a whole
complex of reasons. The first
reason was the one commonly
cited. Development of this
supersonic ballistic missile to
be fired from the Strategic
Air Command's B-52s has
proved to be much more com
plex and difficult than was at
first expected.
The sixth "successful test,"
so loudly hailed by the Air
Force, has in no way altered
this aspect of the problem.
The success of the test was
considerably exaggerated, to
begin with. The tested Sky
bolt, far from landing pre
cisely on target, in fact
burned up in the air. Calcu
lations merely showed that
its trajectory was such that
it might have come near its
target if it had not burned up.
MOREOVER, none of the
A' predicted difficulties of
development were removed by
the sixth test. Its principal
practical results, in fact, were
lo inflame the Skybolt con
troversy in Britain, and there
fore to embarrass Prime Mini
ster Macmillan and to infur
iate President Kennedy.
In view of the predicted
difficulty of development, and
the consequent increase of ex
pense, the central question
about Skybolt was quite
simply whether the missile
was worth it. Afler fullest
allowance for other outlays
required by the Skybolt can
cellation, it was calculated
that the net cost of adding
Skybolt to the armory would
he not less than $1.3 billion.
Did it give an equivalent in
crease in fighting power?
Here we encouter the great
problem for the British. For
the U. S.. in brief, Skybolt
did not give an increase in
fighting power proportional
to its cost, because the huge

and
other means of clearing the
road for the B52s, it seemed
clear that the B-52s could
reach their targets even with
out Skybolt. But the British
lack such penetration aids.
For the British, therefore,
Skybolt was essential to get
past the increasingly power
ful Soviet high and low level
anti-aircraft ballistic missiles--the
hundreds upon hundreds
of SAM lis and SAM Ills
which have been and are be
ing deployed around a 1 1
significant Soviet targets. The
lack of penetration aids,
incidentally, also explains
why the French independent
deterrent must be classed as
obsolete even before it is
operational, even though the
French Mirage bomber is a
better aircraft than the B-52.
Such are all the reasons
for the Kenncdy-McNamara
decision, plus the reasons for
its impact abroad. The reasons
for its expected impact on the
Congress are somewhat more
earthy.

IX) begin with, the Douglas
A and Northrup aviation
companies have something
like 15,000 persons employed
on the Skybolt project, in
during a fair number in Sen
ator Symington's native Mis
souri. And both companies do
not lack friends on Capitol
Hill.
To go on with, the Skybolt
row is supercharged with the
same emotions as the B-70
row. Skybolt was a means of
prolonging the fully indepen
dent working life of the B-52s,
just as the B-70 was a means
of prolonging the life of
manned bombers in the Air
Force. Gen. Curtis LeMay, the
brilliant, opinionated Chief of
Air Staff, is a manned bomber
man to the inmost fibers of
his being.
Hence LeMay is just as
much on the warpath about
Skybolt as about the B-70.
And this is why the Skybolt-plus-B-70
row of the coming
Congressional sessions
promises to make last ses
sion's bitter B-70 row look
like a milk-and-water affair.

rpHE OWNER of a picture gallery on 57th Street tells of a
J- night when Pablo Picasso supposedly caught a burglar
red-handed in his chateau in Southern France. The burglar
tore loose from Picasso's
grasp, but the artist later
assured the police he
could draw a rough
sketch of the intruder.
On the basis of the
drawing, the police
promptly arrested the
minister of finance, a
visiting lady columnist
from New York, a univae
machine, and a replica of
the Eiffel Tower.
It is reported that police
officials in a Michigan re
sort town have been receiv
ing phone calls complaining about four nude young ladies driving
helter-skelter through the community in a spanking new station
wagon. It should be a simple case, the police say, but nobody to
date seems to have had time to road the numbers on the license
plates.

1796:
"It is" our true policy to
steer clear o f permanent

In an inlc
nor Hatfield cited TAX RE
FORM as "the crux of tha
1963 Oregon legislative ses
sion." He said he will have
more to say about it in his
address to the legislature on
January 14.
He said:
"Oregon's present tax struc
ture is a patchwork and tha
need for tax reform is funda
mental. Tax reform would
contribute to Oregon's econo
mic and industrial growth and
would have an immediate as
well as long range impact on
our state's economy."
niSCUSSlNG a trend among
" "some people" to become
dependent o n government
welfare services, he warned:
"We must not create a class
of public wards. Public pro
grams should be an aid to peo
ple in time of crisis. They
should be designed to restore
people to usefulness. We hava
trotted (too long) down tha
trail of the narcotic of depen
dency on public programs. No
public program is an end in it
self." And so on.
