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, 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?

Help, Not Hinder
To the Editor: In these days
of tangled national and inter
national affairs it seems piti
ful that so many are pulling
in so many different direc
tions. 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

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.

It is lime for people to
wake up to the fact that time

God's chosen people (Judah

them? The answer is no. Read
the history of Judah and Is

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

know.
Why did God take away His

taken? Where is the Devil's
kingdom on earth? What are
the Beas-t and his image and

her colonies? Will the Holy

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.

The substance cannot be
changed by publicity, by

This is hard work, and

rewarding way to merge
the reality with the image.

we do not want them to

Yet. merely dressing up

When a professional group,

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. Law and order w

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. '

From Washington:
The U.S.A. is producing
millionaires at the fastest clip
since the gel-rich-quick era
of the 1920s.
The Internal Revenue Serv
ice, in ils latest tabulation on
the subject, reports that 398
persons filed returns showing
income of a million dollars or
more in 1961.
ACK in 1929, we thought
" we could get rich quick
by big-time gambling i
stocks - which, we were as
sured, would keep on going
up and WOULDN'T EVER go
down because this was a rich
and growing nation that
would go on indefinitely pro
ducing more and mora
wealth. :
We're going now on tfia
theory that a nation can
SPEND ITSELF RICH by the
simple process of spending :it
high, wide and handsome and
PUTTING IT ON THE CUFF.
We are assured in these
days that our skyrocketing
debt can never bother us be
cause it will be taken care t
by our skyrocketing produc
tion. :
T ET'S hope so. !
But history has an annoy
ing habit of repeating itself.
One of its lessons is that bad
habits that have caused trou
ble before can cause trouble
again. -
