Stockpile Report
Recommendation:
Lost in Squabbling

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.
Oregon escaped hig Asian flu
outbreaks last year. The board
said flu follows a pattern -of
moving into new areas the next
year and that the West Coast
would be a "prime large! "
Dr. OianfSkmnei ot the hoard
said Ihe flu which struck the
Oregon Stale football team last
week was being looked in!r
