In The-
Day's Sen's
By FRANK JbXKLNS
In Washington yesterday, a gov
ernment press official was being
fried out in the pan by a con
gressional investigating commit
tee because of a statement he is
alleged to have made recently to
the effect that the government
HAS A RIGHT TO LIE in order to
defend itself.
The incident had to do with the
situation that arose back in the
grim days when we were tell
ing the Russians to get their mis
siles out of Cuba OR ELSE. The
"or else" is believed to have
been an ultimatum to get the
missiles out or face nuclear war.
The press officer (his name is
Sylvester I is supposed to have
been asked by the reporters if
the nuclear threat had been made.
He is supposed to have denied it.
Accused later of having LIED,
he is supposed to have stated that
the government has an inherent
right to save itself "when it is
agoing into a nuclear war."
He told the investigating com
mittee yesterday that the re
mark (to the effect that th? gov
ernment has a right to lie under
certain grave circumstances) was
taken out of context and was a
"kind of shorthand." He said that
on the one hand "there is no
right of the government or any
of its members to lie."
"But, on the other hand," he
said, "I believe in times of ex
treme peril it is incumbent on
the United States government to
save itself through the means nec
essary." Is he right?
Or is he wrong?
Let's put it this way:
Suppose our government, f o r
reasons that it considers good and
sufficient, is planning an assault
(of whatever kind) on an enemy.
Suppose it is asked by the re
porters what it has in mind to
do. If it tells the truth, the whole
truth, it will tip off the enemy.
Deception is a vital element in
war. If the enemy can be de
ceived, he can often be destroyed
The Battle of Hastings is an out
standing example of htat funda
mental fact of war.
All through that long and his
toric day back in 1066, Duke Wil
liam of Normandy had hammered
at King Harold's line. The wall
of Saxon shields was Impenetra
ble. A Norman knight, Ivo Taille
fcr, made one of the spectacular
passes of history. He rode up and
down the Saxon line, tossing his
sword and his lance into the air
and catching them as they came
down.
Then he smashed into the line
of shields. He penetrated several
ranks deep, but the Saxons closed
around him and killed him. They
closed the line before the Nor
mans could breach it in force.
Then
Duke William tried a stratagem.
He called for the ancient trick of
a feigned retreat. His men turned
and rode down the hill in seeming
disorder. That did it. Harold's
Saxons, believing the enemy beat
en, BROKE RANKS and followed
in wild pursuit.
The disciplined Normans then
turned around and DESTROYED
THEM.
That was the end of Saxon Eng
land.
Suppose King Harold had been
tipped off that the retreat would
be a feint.
His ranks would then have been
PREPARED. They would have
stood fast.
In that event, Duke William's
attack would have been a failure,
and England would have re
mained Saxon. Great events can
hang on STRATAGEMS.
This js the point:
If a lie is necessary to CON
FUSE AN ENEMY, and thus save
a nation from possible defeat
a .government is justified even in
lying to the reporters.

Agreement
SALEM (UPI) - Army Engi
neers have signed an agreement
which puts the Boardman Space
Age Industrial Park in north-
central Oregon a step closer, Gov.
Mark Hatfield said Monday.
Hatfield told an afternoon news
conference the only remaining
roadblock before final develop
ment of the project can proceed
is an agreement with the Navy.
This concerns costs involved in
taking over Navy-owned property.
in the area.
He said he could not estimate
when it would be settled.
Details Given
Hatfield said the agreement
with the engineers would set aside
four miles of Columbia River wa
terfront land for recreational use.
and seven miles for industrial
use.
The stale would give its land
in the area to the government,
the government would condemn
some privately owned land along
the river, then give the entire
block of property back to the
state.
If the property goes unused for
20 years, it is subject to possible
reversion to the government.
Hatfield said Boeing Company
which is "anxious" to use the
property, already has submitted
its planned use of the waterfront
area to the engineers for review
and approval.
Hatfield indicated there was a
possibility Boeing might begin
work on its Boardman develop
ment before final agreement with
the Navy is reached.
Other Topics
On other topics, the governor
said he felt the public utility com
missioncr should be allowed to set
regulations as to the number of
men in a train crew.
The legislature is now consider
ing proposals to cut the size of
main line freight train crews to
five men.
He termed PUC control
"sounder approach" than having
the legislature set crew size by
law.
Hatfield said he had no specific
wording in mind for a prayer in
school amendment to the constitu
tion called for in his inaugural
address. He said specific wording
should be left to the legislature.
He said he did not agree with
a House Alcohol Committee move
lo increase liquor commissioners'
per diem to $150 for three meet
ins a month. Thev presently re
ceive $20 a meeting.
He said anv increases in per
diem allowances should apply to:
all commissions, and should not
be on a monthly basis. I

SALEM (UPH - The skeleton
of Gov. Mark Hatfield's civil de
fense budget was formally ap
proved Monday night by a Ways
and Means subcommittee that also
called for a rewrite of the state's
civil defense law.
The subcommittee voted unani
mously to recommend a $50,034
alternate civil defense budget. It
would pay for a three person
staff.
The governor asked for a $199.-
239 general fund budget for an
18 -person agency.
The subcommittee voted 5-0 to
recommend a redraft of the state
CD law so that it will list the
agencies with civil defense re
sponsibilities, such as the state
police, highway department, wel
fare, finance and fire marshal.
Agency heads would belong to a
CD advisory committee.
In a third action, the subcom
mittee voted 3-2 to put $50,000 in
the state emergency fund for
civil defense in the coming two
years "if the federal government
comes out with a real honest-to-
goodness program."
The subcommittee s action re
affirmed its earlier conclusions
that civil defense has been
weak program in Oregon.

LONDON (UPD Charging
mounted policemen pushed back
a crowd of more than 2.000 dem
onstrators who stormed the
houses .of Parliament today to
protest British unemployment.
Several injuries and arrests
were reported.
The fighting, shouting crowd
yelled "gestapo" and "Fascist
thugs" at the police, then staged
a mass sitaown in rariiamem
Square, attacking automobiles and
tying up traffic.
About 300 policemen forced the
demonstrators out of the fore
court of the Parliament buildings.
They crushed the rioters, many
of them women, against the iron
railings in the process.
Fighting broke out when the
demonstrators, who had marched
through London to Parliament
where they had hoped to lobby
with their members, were refused
admission to the buildings.
The crowd grew as London un
ions joined in the "right to work"
demonstration, originally organ
ized bv the Northern Federation
of Trades Council.
Britain's unemployment, aggia
vated by the worst winter of the
century, already has topped 800.-

ised to press a vigorous fight for
civil defense. The chairman of
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, Rep. Winton Hunt, R
Woodburn. who also said he would
fight for the program, failed lo
show up at the subcommittee
meeting as planned.
Present Services Liked
Subcommittee members said the
program they propose will center
on coordination of services pro
vided by existing agencies.
Sen. Lynn Newbry, R-Ashland,
said it is agencies such as the
state police "to whom we are
necessarily going to look in an
emergency.
'I think we will find more com
munications available in the high
way department and the state po
lice than civil defense thought It
had," he said.
The federal program was criti
cized by Newbry for "very little
leadership." But he said Oregon
should have emergency funds
available "in the event the led
eral government comes up with a
new concept that should be ex
ploited on the state level. Sen
Dwight Hopkins, D-Imbler, and
Rep. Sidney Leikcn, D-Roseburg,
agreed.
Sen. Alfred Corbett, D-Portland,
and Subcommittee Chairman Bcu
lah Hand, D-Milwaukie, voted
against emergency money.
The subcommittee was told that
under the new budget there would
not be enough manpower in the
civil defense office to keep "prod
ding local governments to keep
up fallout shelter programs.
Finance Director Freeman
Holmer conceded the local units
have needed prodding to combat
"inertia . . . lethargy.
' Corbett criticized Hatfield for a
negative attitude.
"It would have been helpful if
the governor, instead of criticiz
ing, had sat down with the com
mittee and helped work out a re
duced budget," he said.
Other Highlights
Taxation The House Tax Com
mittee heard testimony that a pro
posed doubling of beer and wine
taxes might drive Oregon's one
brewery and one winery out of
business.
Racing When no member of
the racing commission showed up
at a House Planning and Develop
ment Committee hearing on rac
ing, the committee postponed the
meeting to April 1 and said it
would subpoena the commission's
secretary.
Alcohol The House Alcoho'
Control Committee approved a
measure which would increase the
per diem of liquor commissioners
to $150 a month. They now re
ceive $20 a day for three meet

Dunes Bill
Introduced
By Duncan
WASHINGTON UP1 - A bill
to establish the Oregon Dunes
National Seashore was introduced
in the House of Representatives
by Rep. Robert Duncan, D-Ore.
Duncan said his bill set the
boundaries of the area lo prevent
interference with private property.
tree larms and wood products in
dustries.
The boundaries of the proposed
Seashore arc the only serious
difference between his plan and
those of Sen. Maurine Neuberc-
er, D-Ore., and Secretary of In
terior Stewart Udall, Duncan said.
"I am hopeful that this can be
resolved so that the entire park
issue can be solved." the fresh
man congressman added.
Under the Duncan bill, the park
would extend from the Siuslaw
point opposite the community
of Lakeside on the south. The
park would not include three
fresh water lakes cast of U.S.
Highway 10 Woahink, Siltcoos
and Tahkenitch but Duncan
said public access to the three
should be guaranteed.
After talking to property own
ers in the area, Duncan said he
believed access could be obtained
on a trade or purchase basis
along the south end of Woahink
Lake, the southwest side of Silt
coos and the southwest side of
Tahkenitch.
Sen. Neuberger has proposed a
larger Seashore which would in
clude the three lakes.
'It would preserve the Dunes in
the hands of the National Park
Service," Duncan said of his bill.
"It would give substantial access
to fresh water lakes. Aside from
county property, stale property,
national forest property . . . there

are only about 14 parcels of pri
