HOHKHT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON The recom mendations of the SyminRlon re port on the nation's strategic M4 ,i materials siock- , pile have been lost in a flurry i of partisan 'squabbling which attended mcir unveiling. At the heart of the squabble is Hie attempt I by Sen. Stuart Symington. (U-AJo.) to indict a handful of Kisenliower cabinet officers as though they were cut from the tattered cloth of Harding's "Ohio gang". Nothing in the Investigation makes this a be lievable determination, even though it is asserted by Syming ton and two Democratic col leagues who served on the in vestigating committee. The low) dissent by the com mittee Republicans would not have been possible had Syming ton's report been more loleranl of the problems faced by the stockpile's of the past and less hypocritical about who was ap plying political pressures to in flence policy. For example, the report seeks to indict Arthur S. Flemming, as director of the Office of Defense Mobilization whic h regulated stockpile purchases under poli cies of President Kisenliower; . U'i' bite Douglas McKay, who bad left the cabinet to run for the Senate in Oregon; and Felix Wormser, one of McKay's as sistant secretaries at the -Interior Department. Flcniiumg, now president of the I'niversilv of Oregon, was head of ODM from l'.is;) iS l:iS7, after which he served in the cabinet. The report cites Hie following episode in the government's pro gram to s I o c k p i 1 e chromite mined ill Oregon: Ill l:iw ODM was evaluating! whether to extend the chrome I program, begun in I'.iM, beond lis 1ii:7 deadline. A Flemming j aide recommended against ex tension iicaus the minimum ' goal had been reached and do-1 niestie ore in Oregon was cost-1 ing the V. S. $110 per ton com pared with $-15 per ton if it were bought on the world market. Flemming asked Wormser. who) w as in charge of minerals at j Interior, for his opinion. Worm- j ser on March 1!) agreed it should be slopped. Asked To HcconMilcr On May M Flemming askrj Wormser to reconsider. Hy this time .sli Kay was running (or the ; Senate. Termination of the pro-j gram would have meant closing ! the government's chromite pur chase depot at Oranls Pass. On June IK McKay asked Flemming to extend the program This: time Wormser recommended ex tension, and on June i"i Flem ming wired McKay that the chrome program would run an- i other two years. The Symington report says: j "When confronted with this flip-flop in his opinions. Worm-1 ser indicated that he had written the second letter because he had been pressured to do so hy mem- i hers of Congress from tlie west- j ern states." i McKay's letter was uted as "evidence of political pressure." The report noted thai the chrome acquisition prog r a m brought intuitu tons info the stockpile at a cost of $111.5 mil lion. I contends that because the price paid for Oregon chro mite was 2 to 2' i limes the world price, the "paper loss to the government . . . was $11.5 million." Chief Ingredient The Republicans are entitled to cry "foul" when a report takes such pains to mention prominent Republicans but care fully avoids naming prominent Democrats in Congress and among the Washington lobbyists who also applied pressure. Pres sure, delivered in written or verbal requests for favorable ac tion, is a chief ingredient in the way democracy functions here. Yet the Symington report treats it like a snake at a school picnic. Congress is not only entitled but duty bound to examine the defects of the stockpile effort which followed Ihe Korean war. It should insist on lough admin istration in Ihe face of pres sures; and if it rebukes weak kneed administration, it should likewise rebuke senators a n d congressmen who try to subvert ' Ihe purposes of a program to favor interests in their home states. On the whole, it is hard to sustain a convincing case against the stockpiles, with all Ihe costly defects of the pro gram in the past, w h e n the charge is that they bought, too much at the expense ot the 'tax payers. The stockpile was and slill is a kind of national se curity insurance and nobody could know just how much was enough. In lad, fiMtiody today knows that answer. 'Maginol Complex' The Eisenhower policy was lo set stockpile q u a n t 1 t y goals based on Ihe needs of the nation in a five-year war. The Syming ton report claims this produced a "Maginoj line complex " Nevertheless, the Kennedy ad ministration bases c u r r c n I stockpiling on a three-year war assumption. The report call s this "an anachronism if not an absurdity" because the "NATO alliance assiinipiion for a con ventional European war is one ot im-days' duration; and there has been considerable discussion to reduce this lo ;io days." Obviously, Ihe Kennedy Ad ministration doesn't want to re duce the stockpile that drastical ly ami take the risk ot getting caught shell, any more than did Flemming and his colleagues in the Eisenhower administration. Epidemic of Fl'u Expected in Stale PORTLAND i!T'l - The State Hoard of Health said to day an epidemic of Asian ilu can be expected in Oregon this fall or winter.
