Mud-Slinging
By FLOYD L. 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

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."
The similarity between Eisen-

hower'i thinking and the commit
tee's statement may have been
ne result of the President's hav
ing seen the Draper report before
it was made public.
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.
