WYNNE Charges and counter charges have been fired in recent days across the Oregon political hori zon. None of them have foundation on which to stand, and should be ignored. . But since they are being bruited about, let's discuss them in small detail. I have two releases from Sena tor Richard Ncubcrger's olfice in Washington, D.C, One deplores the statements of the Republican state chairman Peter Gunnar, and the other roundly castigates Governor nark Hatfield. They both have reference to re marks made by Gunnar, in which he is reported to have sharply crit icized Senator Neubcrger for his 8100,000 payroll. The Gunnar release I have not seen. Gunnar has been particularly critical of Senator Neubcrger in recent weeks. This is political in view of the fact that Senator Neubcrger will be up for retlcc tion next year. He has blasted what he terms as an "arrangement" between Senator Morse and Senator Ncu bergcr whereby Morse will push Neubcrger into reelection by threatening to oppose him. In the minds of many voters, Morse's ill timed remarks concerning Cover nor Hatfield still rankle. Be that as it may, that ap pears to be fair political ammu nition. However, on the other side o( the fence, I can't accept cither Gunnar's criticisms of Ncuberger for his 8100,000 payroll, nor can I accept Senator Neubcrgcr's criti cisms of Governor Hatfield for his transportation since becoming Gov ernor. I concur with Lloyd Tupling, Sen ator Ncubcrger's assistant, who says "We think it is a shame to reduce Oregon politics to such shabby demagoguery." He explains: "To our knowl edge, there never has been the slightest issue raised in any other state of the Union over such a matter, which is uniform under law according to the population . of a Senator's state." Ho goes on to say. "Therefore. we are reluctantly calling attention to Governor Hatfield s perquisites, which are far more personal and lavish than anything ever enjoyed at public expense by Senator Neu berger." In another continuing release in much more detail, Senator Neu berger's office highly criticizes Governor Hatfield for the use of two state automobiles and a state police chauffeur. The political demagoguery is two-fold. Neither charge stands to gain either side any advantage. The fact is that the Senator's payroll is what is allotted to a state the size of Oregon. There is no question in my mind but what the duties of Senator Neu- berger's office require the expen diture of this payroll, and per haps more. I can't quarrel with that. We must have adequate representation in Congress to take care of our affairs. If it takes a Senatorial payroll of 8100,000 to get the job done, then it does. I will add that Senator Neu- ' hercer has been ouick to release the full payroll list of his office It Is not open to criticism from the standpoint of nepotism. So, certainly, if Mr. Gunnar made charges against the size of this payroll, they were groundless charges. On the other hand, it seems like strange politics that would have a Senator's office strike back at the Governor of a state in de fending charges against himself. it has been the custom for the Governor to have automobiles that are state-owned and also to have a state police chauffeur at his dis posal. Also, the junket to Puerto Rico was in the main paid for by Puerto Rico. The people who made the trip were persons on official busi ness with the exception perhaps of the Governor's wife. They made the trip in a Na tional Guard plane. Senator Neubergcr's criticisms Wert leveled at the fact that Mrs. Hatfield made the trip to Puerto Rico. This, to me, Is also reaching a little far under the table. It boils down to a case of two wrongs not making a right. I suppose this is the type of political muck-raking that many politicians indulge In. Perhaps I'm too naive, but it does seem to me that the level of intelligence of the general pub lic, and their sense of Tightness won't permit tliem to dig in Hie same mud with such political accusations. If either side of the political fence thinks such mud-slinging will bring them votes, then they are insulting us in thinking that we will accept such charges and counter charges. Let's clean up the political scene and keep political charges con fined to the basic issues. Only in that manner can the public get a clear view upon which to base his ballot. Friday By FLORENCE JENKINS In the Moslem world there is the saying: "All days are good, but Friday is the best." For the world's 400 million fol lowers of Islam, Friday is special because it is the counterpart of the Christians' Sunday. It is the Sab bath. It is the day when offices and shops remain closed. For the children, it is that wonderiul day when there is no school. Although Friday is not the first day of the Moslem week, it is the waitcd-for day of rest. The Moslem, calendar has a straightforward system for nam ins the days of the week. Five oi the days, Sunday through Thurs day, are numbered. The word "yaum," meaning "day," precedes the names of all of the days, but it is generally dropped In the spo ken language. Friday and Saturday are left as the only unnumbered days. "Al-juma," the word for Friday, translates as "the day of congre gating 'for prayer)." The Arabs call Saturday "al-sabt" which conies from an old, old word for Sabbath. The early Moslems ob served Saturday as their day of rest, but the holy day was moved to Friday more than a thousand years ago. The Arab days do not end at midnight. They end the moment the rim of the sun slips down behind the horizon. Then clocks are set at 12 o'clock. According to Arabic compulation, any time after sundown on Thursday is con sidered as Friday and so on through the week. "If you want to travel, start your trip on Monday," is a bit of Bedouin advice. Almsgiving on Friday during the fasting month of Ramadan reaps double blessing for the charitable man, since the day is already a good day. Bedouins often nickname a child for the day on which he was born Sn, a Friday child may become Jumai ("Little Friday") to his family. (Which might lead-to a lot of confusion in a very large fam ily, it would seem.) With the coming of American industry, especially the petroleum industry to Arab coastal areas, an other day has won great favor with the people. In Saudi Arabia they call 11 "yaum al-ma ash. Here in America we call it "pay day" and it falls more often than not on Friday. from the 1947-38 average of 3.2 bushels. Neither the Concress nor the De partment of Agriculture nor any one else has come up with any really workable solution to the problem of surpluses. We cannot give it away to Europe even if they would pay the freight for it would upset their farm economy and ruin their farmers. The little that we are able to trade off for doubtful foreign currency hasn't made much of a dent in the prob lem. It makes a man wonder if the only solution is to "cut the Gor dian knot" and simply destroy all the surplus farm products that are eating the taxpayer up. pay the terrible price of a folly hat should have been foreseen by anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of eco nomics, and end the subsidy night mare once and forever. Farm Folly By NEI.SOX REED When you read about how much the farm subsidy program is costing this country, you wonder how much longer the long suffer ing taxpayers are going to put up with it. Farmers are still collect ing storage fees from Uncle Sam on 26 million bushels of surplus corn grown in 1955. The corn or iginally cost the government about $1.60 per bushel. Storage charges already add up to about 50 cents per bushel and they will amount to 65 cents if the corn is held until next July. Corn prices have been trending downward. So If Uncle sells his corn now it will only bring about $1.15 per bushel. And the worst is yet to come. This year's crop is expected to smash all records, reaching 42 billion bushels, up Keeping l'p By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - Ameri can leadership is showing a grow ing concern about the ability of this country at the rate and in the way we are going to keep up with Soviet progress. Time was when Soviet claims to achievement were taken with a grain of salt in the United States. That attitude began to change when the Soviets showed how far advanced they were, industrially and scientifically, first by making the atom bomb, then the hydrogen bomb, and then beating us into outer space with their Sputniks in 1J57. Earlier in the week this wrilcr reported President Eisenhower 1. Is concerned about the driv ing urge to get ahead which the Soviets seven-year plan is giving them. 2. Thinks this country needs an incentive toward harder work omething similar to the seven- year plan which he believes is providing the Soviet people with the moral equivalent of war. 3. Feels Americans must be in duced to work harder, think more of achievement, less of leisure and money. Now comes the Draper com mittee a 10-man group headed by the investment banker, William H Diaper Jr. which sounds like a direct echo of the President. Eisenhower created this com mittee to, study the United States program of military assistance to other countries. Its report, made public Thursday, urged even big ger aid and went much beyond talking in terms of weapons alone. The 10-man group sought to look at the Soviet challenge from many angles its progress, its produc live expansion, its goals, and its tactics plus the need it creates for American efforts to match Soviet efforts. The committee, noting the So viels are maintaining a higher rate of growth than the United Slates in industrial production and in their technology and technical education, said: "Their objective of equaling and exceeding the United States in selected areas of their own choos ing has provided an unusual psy chological stimulation to their people which we must more than match by dedication to our own cause. "These trends in the Commu nist world cannot be ignored. They suggest the need for real concern about our present and prospective rates of progress which will de (ermine our future ability to com pete with communist states. All this requires a positive In dividual and" national dedication. greater emphasis on hard con structive work and thought, less rather than more emphasis on leisure, more rather than less ap plication to our taks."

But he was concerned about this problem of competition and in centives many months ago. He an nounced in his State of the Union message last January he would create a committee to sludy and then propose national goals. The Soviets' seven-year plan is in their case a national goal. Eisenhower is ready to name his committee as soon as he can find enough private organizations to finance its work. He doesn't want the government to foot the bill. But neither Eisenhower nor the Draper committee has- come up with an answer to the question they raise: How can Americans people in a free society be induced to work harder and think less of lei sure and money in order- to com pete with the Soviet people living under a dictatorship which can direct, control and compel them? The dictatorship controls every thing: People's lives; the work they do: where they work and on what and for how long: the luxu ries they can have or must do without; their hours; prices; wages: and the means of produc tion and distribution. We may be entering a period of public-bveast beating for our fail ures to do more and do without more. But self - flagellation is neither an answer nor a sub stitute for action. Perhaps Eisenhower's commit tee on goals may produce sug gestions for the old philosophical, but now very real, problem of how a free people, with all that means, can compete with peo ple controlled and centrally directed.
