JULY 17. 1963 Hatfield and the Lightning The fluctuating political fortunes of the two leading prospects for the Republican nomination for President Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Sen. Barry Goldwater inevitably affect the politi cal fortune of every other prominent Republican. And this includes our own youthful Gover nor, Mark O. Hatfield. He has been "mentioned" as a possible GOP vice presidential candidate, and speculations about this possibility have been frequent in the press of this state and others for some time now. 1M0RE recent developments, however, have changed the picture. These include Gover nor Rockefeller's divorce and remarriage, which have substantially damaged his chances for the nomination, and Senator Goldwater's subse quent and, as we see it, "too early" rise in popularity. (There is also reason to believe that Goldwater would have a tough time getting the nomination over the objections of the more mod erate elements in the party.) These two developments combined have made it possible for some political observers to believe that some other candidate will get the nod. These include Gov. George Romney of Michigan, Gov. William W. Scranton of Penn sylvania and Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon. One of the shrewdest and boldest politicians in Washington thinks Hatfield has a real chance. A ND THIS despite' Hatfield's youth, the fact "that he comes from a far-western and lightly populated state, and has yet to build a national reputation and national "image." It does seem that these handicaps are too large to be overcome. But stranger things have happened, and despite the current odds, by the time of the GOP convention a year from now the picture could be completely altered. Hatfield is vigorous, smart, a hard worker. and ambitious. He is sometimes. But on occasion he can make a hard and unpopular decision and stick with it, which in the long run can win come the unpopularity of LIE ALSO is playing his national politics very coolly. He is taking steps to increase his national exposure, to become known among party leaders, and to impress as many people as pos sible with the fact that he attractive. He and his alert have developed "positions" on most current public questions, and, while not always volun teering his views on controversial matters, Hatfield keeps informed necessary is equipped to He is a trained and a good and fluent conversationalist, and does his 'homework. " LIATFIELD is, both by tnpnr. a ninrlnrjiffi And, despite the noise right these clays, this is the thinking voters of the nation, Republican or Democratic. He has, in recent months, disappointed some of his friends and supporters, at least in part because ol his out-ot-state trips, borne of them feel he should stay home and mind the store. Uthers have been disappointed by certain of his appointments and other actions in office, notably the out-of-hand firing of two Indus trail Accident Commissioners. Still others have been chagrined by his refusal to take action in some situations where they feel he should. THESE drawbacks are any more than his attractive qualities guar antee success. Still, some of the Governor's friends think he should forget about the vice presidency, be lieving that way would lead to political suicide. As for the Presidency, they just laugh. They feel that he should concentrate on being a good Governor, stay at home and keep his fences mended, and then run for the Senate seat now held by Maurine Neuberger, which conies up for grabs in 19(50 the year Hatfield's term ex pires. They believe he would have an excellent chance of winning, if he did this. DUT, WITH the Presidential lightning flicker ing on the horizon, what ambitious young politician, who believes there is an outside chance, can avoid exposing himself in the hope that it may just possibly be him that is struck? What "political animal" trained and expe rienced as student, teacher, legislator, secretary) of state and governor would hide from the light'-! ningof that most awesome and powerful office? j Certainly not Mark Hatfield. , If, in defiance of all political odds, the' lightning should strike, he will be ready. j Don t count on it. Hut the possibility, either. E. Two Recollections Two related items: Governor Hatfield's invitation to Rockefel ler and Goldwater to debate in Oregon recalls that the Stassen-Dewey debates in Oregon in 1948 eliminated Stassen from the contest. Rocke feller and Goldwater COULD kill each other's chances by a debate. No Governor of Oregon in this century has! served out two full terms.

Each group, and there are many of them, as well as a multitude of individuals, with equally as many diver gent views who are not con tributing to the solution of the problems. It is a shame that we Americans cannot get togeth er behind our President and give him cheer and acclaim as did the Germans and Italians, also the Irish, on his recent trip abroad. However there. is an understandable reason why the Irish greeted him with open arms, he is a direct de scendant of those people, one of their own come home. But, Is he not also one of our own, a third generation American, raised and edu cated in America, by and to the American standards? Has he not broken down the old religious barrier and shown us that church and state can and must cxistNieparately regard less of the President's church affiliations? Has he not gone farther than any President in many years by taking the stand he did on civil rights? Has he not placed his political future in jeopardy by this stand? What other President since Lin coln demanded that rights, as guaranteed in the Constitu tion, become a reality, not just a group of grandiloq u e n t words in a sacred document? The right of the people to express divergent views on any subject Is our American heritage of free speech and free press, but it can, conceivably-, loud to chaos if not used with discretion. By this I mean that we, as a people, can become so confused that our solidarity as a nation can be undermined and our freedom lost through a lack of unity in national affairs. That the civil rights issue comes at this time is not the work of any group but merely a chronological cycle that is sweeping the world. To say, as some contributors to this column do, that the push for civil rights in the U.S. is com munist inspired is about as ridiculous as possible, since it was written into the Consti tution via the Nth Amend ment before the writings of either Kai l Marx or Fredrich Engels. the fathers of modern communism, This can be more truly traced to education, whereby the oppressed became con scious of their rights while, in our country, and 1 am ashamed to admit, many while people are so ignorant as to either not know the Constitutional guarantee or could nut understand it when read I am convinced the Cuban situation was handled in the most effective manner short o war and surely no sane per son wanls war.

Judge's Advice To the Kdilor Reading your paper and looking over the court records. see so many of our youni; people applying for a divorce Tins makes nie feel sari. I think of an article I once read it was unsigned so 1 do not know the author. I cannot quole, only give the mc.-sage a it impressed me. Its something like this: A young man and hn wife the case. I stood before a judge on the brink of a marriage abyss The wise old judge had called for and had assembled some of those young people who had gone through his court years before. He pointed to them and to the young couple said, "There is a pile of jum bled human wreckage, those wrecks were people like you. They loved, laughed and had high ideals, then selfishness blinded them; they met head on. Pride in each other's abil ity is a shield for love, but they removed it and the blind ing glare of ego brought them to the edge of ruin. Before you leap into this void of hu man wreckage try doing unto others as you would have them do unto you." As I recall it this young couple went home and their marriage was saved. I feel that all of us, both young and old. could take this wise old judge's advice to heart and make our homes and lives a lot happier. Mabel Harmon 1035 Cherry si. Medford. More About Sin To the Editor: The condi tion of the world now, a pleas- tire loving people who are for getting God and His laws and the keeping of the command' menus, which are his laws. It is lime for people to wake up to the fact that time is running short. Before Christ's time did God's chosen people (Judah and Israel) keep his command ments'? Do we today . keep them? The answer is no. Read the history of Judah and Is rael in the Bible and see how God punished them for dis obeying. What will happen to us to day? We are in the period that the prophecies of the future should be revealed. Thcso are some of the im portant prophecies you should know. Why did God take away His holy prophets after Christ was taken? Where is the Devil's kingdom on earth? What are the Beas-t and his image and his mark? Who are the two witnesses? Has the great trib ulation passed? What is the Lord's day? Why are the na tions separating into groups of nations such as Russia, Common Market, the Arabs including Egypt and the Unit ed States and England and their allies? What was the real cause of England losing her colonies? Will the Holy Land be captured again? Will we have war with Russia? If so. what will be the results? Will Christ appear himself on the Lord s Day? Will he ever appear on earth himself to take up his kingdom on right hand side of God? We arc now in the tlesh. how lohg will we wait for his Spiritual King : dom? What year will the sane j Uiary be cleansed? Where is : God's Church now?

OREGON Discontent With Baath Party Control In Syria and Iraa Seen Increasing By RAY J. MOLONEY United Press International Beirut, Lebanon-rtJPD-Signs have appeared of a possible rising tide against the Baath party control in Syria and Iraq, both locked in a bitter ideological conflict with U.A.R.'s President Gamal Ab del Nasser. Syria is now deep in a po litical crisis which has seen its Baath government man euver repeatedly to avoid an open clash with the non Baathists. Iraq recently announced the crushing of "a vile Com munist plot," but the reports reaching here indicate that the plotters were by no means only Communist. In both Iraq and Syria ob servers believe the trouble stems from Baath insistence on placing its own men-how-ever inexperienced-in key positions. Save the World For Fun and Profit By Arthur Hoppe The world, you will be glad to know this afternoon, is saved. Oh, I know it was touch and go there for a while, what with everybody hating each other. The Whites and the Blacks and the Commun ists and the Capitalists and the North Koreans and the South Koreans and the East Berliners and the West Ber- liners and. personnally, I didn't much care for this kid next door who is learning to play the cornet. At all hours. So there we were, alt hal ing each other and venge fully arming ourselves with knives and rocks and fire hoses and police dogs and thermonuclear bombs. Boy, we certainly weren't going to let them push us around. Whoever they were. And whoever they were, they felt the same way about us. With mustard on it. So it was pretty clear the race was on the verge of hating itself into extinction. And then, just when all was darkest, a miraculous salvation appeared like a shaft of golden light break ing through the swirling storm clouds or imminent dis aster. Or, to put it another way, the anti-Penguin but tons have now arrived from the button maker. The buttons, which the world had been awaiting with bated breath, are the mem bership lapel pins in the Love Everybody (Except Antarcti cans) Crusade, the only cru sade which is bound to save the world because it appeals to all that is base in human nature - hatred, intolerance, racism, superiority and snob bery. It simply directs these essential emotions toward a more reasonable target: Penguins. Strictly Personal By Sydney (cl Field Enterprises inc. "IMAGE" I was pleased to read that at a recent meeting of adver tising people in New York, t h c director F5sSW'1t of crca t i v e i-Rr8..i ,.(. at N HC news ? iota me group word ever coined by ad vertising peo ple i s "im age." As re ported in Ad he said that Ham vcrtising Age. substance and truth are the important things, rather than image, even if the picture is at times unpleasant." The "image ' is what the public sees and hears: the reality behind the image may be quite another thing. If we labor heavily and ex pensively at the image, and make the public believe what we are not, then there is 1 ittlc incentive to change the ; reality itself. There it the same dif ference between the old fashined words "character" and "reputation." A man's reputation is what others have been trained to think about him; his character is what he really is. If he devotes most of his efforts to improving hit reputation, for its own sake, then his character will inevitably suffer "We must change our image" says a company but an image must be a true reflection of reality, or It is a fake. And the only permanent, meaning ful way to change an image is to change the This policy is claimed to be fostering a steadily increasing anti-Baath attitude in the civil service and the armed forces, where seniority has sometimes been ignored. The Syrian crisis began last month with a Baathist bid j to clip the wings of Defense Minister Ziad Al Hariri, a man with a strong personal following in the army, by transferring abroad or dis charging a number of his close army associates. Hariri battled the move bitterly. But the National Revolu tionary Council stripped Hariri of his post and sent him to European exile July 8 The failure of the Baath to grant adequate representation to Syrian Nasserite elements in the post-coup cabinet spark ed the crisis and put in doubt the establishment of the tri partite United Arab federa Breathes there a man alive, we of the LE (EA) C confidentially ask, who does not feel more than equal to a Penguin? Can a Black Mus lim view the snowy front of a Penguin with any emotion but boiling hatred? Or is there a White Supremacist now burning crosses who cannot envision himself as better than a Penguin's black behind? Which he may well be in many respects. Oh, how the Communists will rant on learning that Penguins, though living in communes and the Antarctic's snowy clime, secretly hoard pebbles - a clear symptom of Marxist-Leninist materialistic deviationaryism. And, my, what a joyous time the House Un-American Activities Com mittee will have in rooting out symbols of the insidious Pcnguinist subvcrsioi. of all we hold near and dear. Like mentholated cigarettes. And eventually, of course, the human race will unite to meet this Penguin menace and all human beings will march forth into a rosy future of peace and love. If we can only promote enough hatred, intolerance, racism, superi ority und snobbery. So do your part. Send in a dime and a self-addressed, stamped envelope today for your all-new, 1963, anti-Penguin button. It boldly pro claims "LOVE EVERYBODY (Except Penguins)." And it has a picture of a Penguin on it with a knife sticking out of his back. In order to promote right-thinking among us do-gooders. So be the first on your block to save the world. And please don't forget to enclose the dime. You can't save the world for nothing, you know. J. Harris substance 'behind it. The substance cannot be changed by publicity, by promotion, by advertising but only by a radical re examination of one's goals, standards, and values. This is hard work, and often unpleasant to face, but it is the only ultimately rewarding way to merge the reality with the image. What others think of us. is of course, important; and we do not want them to have a wrong conception. Yet. merely dressing up our image to please and flatter and beguile the pub lic is a form of prosti tution, unless the inner self conforms to the outer appearance. When a professional group, such as doctors or lawvers. feels that its image has be- come somewhat tarnished in recent years, it usually opens barrage of publicity about the "dedication," the "ser- vice," the "high ideals" that animate these professions. ! Rarely is any attempt made! to remedy practices and re-' form procedures that have' tarnished the IniaRe. i It is generally considered ! sufficient if the public is per- i suaded to adopt a newer and brighter image: but this. too. i will fail the test of time if the substance is not altered ; and successive campaigns will have to be more intense and hysterical to offset the re newed cynicism. image is a word we snoum an lorget as quickly ! leader are needed to plav a TION LIES IN THE HRD as possible.

Both support Arab nationalism and Arab unity but they differ diame trically on who should lead this part of the world. No such figure as Hariri yet exists in Iraq. But there the anger against the "Baath isation" of the army appears to have been a major factor in the recent brief uprising at the strategic El Rashid mil itary camp outside Bagdad, according to reports received hrrp through diplomatic chan- ncls. B oday & s By Walter rt-i 1963 The MISSING LEADERS The testimony of Governor Barnett of Mississippi before the Senate Commerce Com mittee, like a good carica ture, reveals bv its exag geration and distortion the inner fallacy of the irrecon cilable opposi tion to civil rights lcgisla- Lippmann tion. The gov ernor s theory is that the Ken nedy brothers, acting under impulsion from Moscow, have stirred up the Negro demon strators. If instead the Ken nedys would order the Ne groes to desist, to shut up and be quiet, tnere would be no problem of civil rights, the racial conflict would disap pear and the civilization of the white man would be pre served. Stripped of the nonsense about Moscow, which only the lunatic fringe believes, there is a substantial minority in the country, perhaps even more than a minority in the deep south, who believe what Governor Barnett believes. That is to say they believe that the Kennedys are encour aging the demonstrations and that they could, if they want ed to, call off the demonstra tions. This is what the most important southern leader, Richard Russell of Georgia, believes. IT IS by way of being a na tional calamity that Sena tor Russell is using his great authority to prevent any im portant and responsible south ern politician from taking a constructive and leading part in the solution of this nation al problem. To say that the problem would not exist if President Kennedy lectured the Negro leaders about law and order is for a man like Senator Russell to hug a fatal illusion. The fatal illusion is to believe that the Negroes have no grievances which they cannot be forced to put up with as long as it suits the wTiite majority not to redress the grievances. The fundamental and con trolling fact of the matter is that there is a new generation of Negroes who will not put up with Iheir ancient griev ances. President Kennedy did not invent these new Negroes, and he does not now incite them. On the contrary, as the record shows, he intended to do nothing substantial by leg islation in this session of Con gress. He was forced by the Negro demonstrations in the spring to take charge of a menacing situation. The President's assumption of leadership was not, as Gov ernor Barnclt and even Sena tor Russell seem to think, a case of meddling with a situa tion which rai d best be left alone. The situation cannot be left alone. The Negroes will not subside. These demonstra tions, which will intensify and expand, will incite counter demonstrations by white peo ple. All this, while it does nol threaten the overthrow of the republic, docs threaten the pence and order of Ameri can life. Confronted with this na tional trouble, it is the duty of the national Government to seize the situation firmlv and energetically and. by insisting that evil be righted and that justice he done, to uphold law and order.

Something like two-thirds of the Iraqi army is present ly engaged in the campaign against the Kurdish national ists in the north. Any serious trouble in the remaining units could face Me Baath administration with a i serious danger. omorrow lippmann Washington Post reasons to think that if he de cided to turn away from ir reconcilable opposition to ward the willingness to help solve the problem, there would be other political lead ers in the south who would follow suit. Reading the record, it Js evident that Senator Russell is not really a diehard, even though he talks like one. Six years ago, in the summer of 1957, there was an Eisenhov er civil rights program. It dealt chiefly with Negro vot ing and school desegregation. It did not include, as the 1963 civil rights bill does, a section on public accommodations. IT IS interesting to note that in 1957 Senator Russell was just as vehement about school desegregation as he is today about motels and lunch counters. The 1957 bill "could result in placing many south ern communities under mar tial law if they should fail to submit to what they regard as the destruction of their so ciety ..." Now Senator Russell is re ported to be prepared, though of course he does not like it, to swallow legislation which win enable the attorney gen eral to act for the United States in desegregating schools. The monstrous dan ger to him, and the one which would destroy society, is now the desegregation of motels and lunch counters. On the record, Senator Rus sell is, I admit, not a diehard for an ultimate principle. He is rather a man fighting rear guard action to delay, as long as he can, the inevitable right ing of an ancient, and no longer defensible, wrong. Senator Russell is capable of doing better than that.
