Bill Tugman, editor of the Eu
gene Register-Guard, discussing
the subject of political morality,
tells in his column about a Lane
county Democrat, who Just ahead
of the election was seriously con
sidering changing his tegistratlon.
He was unhappy, he said, with
the Democratic leadership, and
saw little hope for a change at
any time in the Immediate future.
He was looking for udvice as to
what to do, and Bill gave it to
him In these words:
"Do you believe and feel as a
Republican? If you do, then you
should certainly change. Of course,
if vou do chance, vou will have to
accept a delay of nuite a few
years in your political aspirations
because people who change par
ties are not immediately taken to
the old boo-zum. If you really bei
lieve as a .Democrat, then your
job is to stick with the Demo
cratic party until victory comes,
Tugman goes on:
"Anyway, the lad stuck, and we
respect him for sticking far more
than we respect Wayne Morse,
who told the Democrats Jn 1944
that although he was a New Deal
er at heart he'd have to run as a
Republican because campaigning
was simply matter of cold
rash "
He adds:
"If at any time we bad had any
Inkle of such conduct, we would
have considered Morse unfit for
any office."
The Register-Ouard editor con
tinues: "
"Nevertheless, we get another
aspect of this political morals
problem from an ardent Morse
supporter who tells us:
" 'Why shouldn't Morse turn
Republican under conditions as
they were In 1944? He HAD TO
GET HIMSELF ELECTED, didn't
he? He had to GET ELECTED
FIRST?"
That brings up another Inter'
esting character Willis Mahon-
ey, who flashed across the Oregon
political skies back In the 1930's
like a meteor. He got his start
in Klamath Falls, where he was
elected mayor in as weird a cam
paign as has been seen in many
a long year, and went on to run
for U.S. senator against Charles
L. McNary in 1936.
He came within less than 6,000
votes of defeating McNary.
He too held this theory that
YOU HAVE TO GET ELECTED
FIRST. He said to mo on several
occasions: -"You
think I'm a wild-eyed radl
cal. I'm NOT. I'm basically Just
es conservative as you are. But
ii you re going to do any good lor
your country as an ofitce-nolder,
YOU HAVE TO GET ELECTED.
"If you're to be elected, you've
got to tell the people what they
want to hear. That's what I'm
doing. AFTER I'M ELECTED, I
can do what I think is best under
the circumstances.
"But I've got to get elected first
If I don't get elected, I can't do
anything."
When Mahoney ran for mayor,
his name was ruled off the ballot
on the grounds that he had not
resided long enough in Klamath
Falls to gain a legal residence.
So he put on a write-in cam
paign. It was a stem-winder. Re
turning from out of town. one eve'
ning, he was met at the railroad
station by a huge crowd of bis
admirers who were assembled to
welcome him home. They put on
a parade down Main street, Ma
honey was mounted on top of a
truck. He stood on the truck's roof
wranned in an American flag, with
spotlights playing on him while
his struck a Napoleonic pose. It
was something to remember.
He won handily on write-ins
which is quite an achievement in
any campaign.
He made an excellent mayor.
The city of, Klamath Falls Is
now, for all practical purposes,
completely out of debt. It owes
much of its present lavoraoie ii-
nancial condition to Mahoney.
When he was elected, the city was
heavily burdened wl(h Bancroft
bond debt as were most otner
rapidly growing cities at that time
Drastic measures were necessary
to meet the situation and keep
the citv solvent.
As mayor, Mahoney co-operated
completely and courageously In a
financial reorganization program
that was laid out by some of the
city's ablest and most conserva
tive people. Without his help, the
program could not nave oeen car
ried through.
t eminH liWff t uas riprpndine the
cynical theory that ANYTHING
nvhMlu rin in tret elected to
office is all right. I'm not. I have
no use for that theory. I minx
cur greatest need is SINCERITY.

Conference
MOSCOW Iff! The Soviet gov-
eminent Saturday proposed hold'
ing a conference on European se
curity either in Moscow or Paris
Nov. 29.
A Soviet note was Bent to the
French government Saturday mak'
Ing this proposal. Copies were sent
to other interested governments.
including the United 8tats. Com
munist China was asked to. lend
observers.
The new Soviet note wae obvious
ly aimed at delaying or preventing
ratification of the Paris .Pact
granting sovereignty to. West Ger
many and granting that .country
the right to rearm,
It follows the month-old Soviet
idea of a security system embrac
ing all European countries as well
as the United States, This organ
ization would replace the systems
of defense alliances which the West
has laboriously built up and would
specifically ban the integration of
a rearmed West Germany in" the
system.
ENGLAND ADMITTED
The United Kingdom was among1
the countries invited.
Copies of the note were handed
to correspondent at a newa con
ference in the soviet Foreign Min
istry conducted by press . chief
Leonid F. Ilylchev. The note wfTl
be broadcast Sunday and published
In Sunday's Moscow newspaper,
It was released while representa
tives of the Western Big Three
were meeting in London to draft
an answer to an earlier Soviet pro
posal for a Big Four meeting on
Germany.
The note said Its purpose was
"to prevent the complication of the
situation in Europe .wmcn- in
creases the dangerof war." -,
SECURITY PROGRAM .
(The new notes parallel those
of July 2 and Aug. 4, in which the
Soviet Union made almost exactly
similar proposals. The Wee tern
powers rejected the idea' Own -al
most out of hand, regarding it as
an attempt to kill, EDO; The Idea
of an all-European collective secur
ity 'program including Russia
was first advanced by Soviet For
eign Minister V. M. Molotov at the
Berlin four-power conference early
this year. He first wanted to bar
the United States, but later gave
up that position,
(Revival of the idea probably re
sults from the fact that the Paris-
London accords to free and rearm
Western Germany and tie her Into
NATO are nearlng the ratification
stage. The Soviet Union's aim is
to block these accords in some
fashion, as EDO was blocked.)
US Announces

Wool Growers

Wool Growers Assn., holding its
annual meeting here, was told Fri
day that U. 8. wool producers are
malting a mistake in not "giving

toward, producing a fat lamb."
James Coon, Portland wool deal
er, said: "The question now is
whether growers want to continue
treating their wool as a by-product
and continue the downward trend
rn well-prepared wools. The time
is here when the wool grower must
get every dime out of his sheen
Dusmess if he is going to stay in
it."
He also urged producers to do
a better job of selecting foundation
flocks. That is necessary if U.
growers are to compete with the
top product which foreign countries
now are exporting, he said. .

NEW YORK W Signs of a
minor post-election boom popped
up this week In several key areas
of the nation's business.
The rising trend was apparent
in steel, textiles, construction,
and retail trade and In the
production and sale of 1955 autoa.
Stock: values surgca' w new w

Most of the leverage seemed to

industry had more than onset a
usual seasonal decline in factory

Demand from the auto industry
mished steel production (estima
ted at 77.2 per cent of capacity)
to Its highest level in nearly
year and helped boost electric
power output to an all-time rec
ord.
Biggest auestlon racing the in

new car boomlet last? Some deal

misgivings. One off-key develop

Russian Plan
WASHINGTON Wl Russia's
latest proposal for a European
security conference whs put undir
detailed study by State Depart'
ment officials Saturday. Their
first reaction was that It consti
tuted simply another effort to
blow up the new German rearm'
ament program.
At the time public announce
ment of the Soviet move was made
in Moscow, officials here still
were waiting for the official text
to be transmitted from the Amer
ican embassy there. The embn.uy
received the note about noon, Mos
cow time, four hour before It
was made public.
The fact that the Soviets held
a news conference a highly un
usual procedure suggested they
were aiming their blow more at
the peoples and the parliaments
than at the governments of West

Protests
From Demos
Overridden
WASHINGTON OH Overriding
Democratic protests, the Senate-
House Atomic Energy Committee
voted Saturday for an Immediate
go-ahead on the controversial
Dixon-Yates power project.
The vote was 10-8. following
straight party lines with Repub
licans solidly backing the admin
istration. The decision was a Tie
tory for President Elsenhower,
who had urged the speedup so
that construction could begin as
soon as possible. -
DECISION
The effect of the committee de
cision is to permit the Dixon-Yates
private utility group to proceed
at once with final plans without
waiting until 30 days after the In
coming Democratic controlled 84th
Congress meets.
Under the contract, the Dixon
Yates group is to build a 107 mil
lion dollar steam generating plant
at west Memphis, Ark.
The plant would feed electricity
into the lines of the Tennessee
Valley Authority to replace power
supplied by TV A for atomic plant
In Paducah, Ky and elsewhere.
Before actual work can be start
ed. Dixon-Yates must obtain SEC
approval on financing plans in
volving Issuance of bonds and
stock for the company which will
be set up to handle the actual
operations. .
COMMITTED VOTE '
The committee's vote Saturday
waived a requirement of the atom
Ic energy law for a 30-day wait
ing period while Congress Is in
session. The delay, if it had been
enforced, would have laid the con
tract over for consideration by the
Democratic-controlled - 84th Con
gress meeting in January.
Tne committee vote was de
layed for a time when the com
mittee agreed to reopen publla
hearings for testimony by Sen.
Kefauver (D-Tenn), a foe of the
project.
Kefauver labeled the contract
"dishonest," "fantastic" and un
truthful. He predicted the contract would
be Involved in litigation for in
terpretation "time and time and
time again."
But when he finished, the com
mittee returned to executive ses
sion and gave Its approval to the
plan.
Eugene Dog
Races Planned
PORTLAND Ml The Stat.
Racing Commission reported Fri
day that a Eugene group has ap
plied for a license to hold dog
races In Lane County next summer.
The group is headed by R. E.
Toner.
They want to build a $320,000
track -which would seat about

north of Eugene on the Pacifio
Highway. David K. Funk, who is
connected with a syndicate which
operates tracks at Phoenix and
Tucson, Aril., and Tiajuana, Mex
ico, would manage the proposed
00-day meet.
The commission, which will act
on the application after all appli
cations for 195 racing meets ars
received, advised the six men to
seek approval of the Lane County
Board of Commissioners for the '
project.
Representatives of , the sroun.
known as Greyhound Park, ap
peared before the board this week.
The commissioners told them they
could make no immediate decision.
New Mail Rule
Questioned
WASHINGTON Wl Extension
to West Coast trunk airlines of
the experimental movement of
regular mail by air has stirred
up a dispute on the Civil Aero
nautics Board.
Josh Lee, a board member and
former Oklahoma Democratic sen
ator, accused his fellow board
members Friday of exposing rail
roads to possible "Irreparable in
Jury" by the diversion of 3-cent
mall to the airlines.
The CAB majority approved a
temporary rate of about 19 cents
a ton-mile for the Pacific Coast
trial, starting Nov. 22. The experi
ment of speeding un regular first
class mall already is In effect be
tween Chicago, New York, Wash
ington and Florida.
Lee said the legality of carry,
ing 3-cent mall by air, when Con
gress has decreed 6-cent nostaze
for such service, is open to ques-
nun,
Lee said the railroads contend
that the move may deprive them
of so much revenue that they may
navo to cut down on train service
and employment.
