The air has been cleared in

duplicity of the Kremlin's al

1t has been revealed to all

have been in the approach to

has been made more remote.
And that's primarily because
Eden and Mollet have shown a

Neither Senate Leader
Democrat johnson Of Texas
nor Republican Knowland Of
California-has an easy life
ahead Of him in the next ses-
sion of Congress.
Right now they are not even
sure which one will organize
the Senate, though the odds
favor Johnson. Senator-elect
Frank Lausche, the Ohio prima
donna. has indicated he will
go along with the national
Democratic Party. Governor
elect Price Daniel is showing a
disposition to fight to put a
Democrat in the Texas seat
Daniel will vacate a moment
before being sworn in at
Austin.
But johnson must begin
with a new whip, probably
Senator Mansfield, to replace
the technically expert Earle
Clements of Kentucky. The
liberal element in the party,
always FESTIVE under Johnson's
leadership, has been strength,
ened by the addition of three
articulate newcomers: Joseph
S. Clark of Pennsylvania, John
Carroll Of Colorado and Frank
Church of Idaho.
All three campaigned on
issues Johnson has sought to
minimize. Clark heavily de-
ponds on civil rights. Un-
happy farmers brought Carroll
through in q wholly unex-
pected upset. Church stressed
the development Of natural
resources and like the party's
victorS in Washington and
Oregon - Senators Magnuson
and Morse-asSailed the adj
ministration's giveaways.
Johnson is a Southerner,
deeply obligated for support
and counsel to Southerners.
He is tepid toward high farm
price supports. He almost GER
tainly will be obliged by Texas
again as in the past to push
another bill to free natural gas
from Federal regulation, which
is associated with the give
away cry.

At least half a dozen names

Senators Smith of New Jersey,

DAVID LAWRENCE

There are several pluses and
minuses emerging out Of the
Middle East crisis. The world
situation is, on the whole,
further away from a general
conflict than it has been.
Oddly enough, this is due to
the sudden ending of what
might be called the peace at
any price" era Of the last few
years. Back of it all are these
main points:
/. Great Britain and France
have made it clear through
their official utterances that a
showdown by military force as
against Nasser, Egypt's dicta-
tor. has removed a greater
danger - the prospect Of a
global war brought on by the
Soviets. The Moscow regime
now has been revealed as plot
ting to get a military as well
as a political foothold in the
Middle East in order to gain
control Of certain Arab govern
ments and their valuable oil
properties.
2. The Soviet Union now has
been notified by the United
States in no uncertain terms
that massive retaliation" is
still Americas policy whenever
its interests are attacked by
the Soviet forces. All the
criticism and ridiculing of that
phrase by hostile propagan-
dists - some of them in the
Western world - overlooked
the basic purpose Of the policy,
which is to use military force
without limit when the provo
cation is there. After Gen.
Gruenther's speech in Paris a
few days ago, the Soviet Union,
1t may be assumed, has no
illusions now as to what mas
sive retaliation" means. :
3. Remuneration of the use
of force" still continues as an
American objective. This is
net a contradiction. For the
renouncing of force means
primarily negotiation and "the
settlement of disputes by
peaceful means" as proclaimed
in the United Nations Charter,
itself. 1t is a first and not a
final step. Even the U. N.
today is talking in terms of
the use of military force-an

The Supreme Court has yet to

tent to which a labor union can

which we will pay now and
far into the future in made
quate protection from floods
and in failure to utilize the
waters for the public interest.
AS was said earlier, the
voters are to blame partly.
They apparently thought they
were doing enough when they
defeated candidates in local
races and for Congress who
were for the Eisenhower policy.
Then they turned around,
many of them, and voted for
the President who is the di-
rector Of overall policy, and
is responsible for the policy.
He told them plainly enough
in speeches at Portland and
Seattle in the campaign, and
now Secretary Seaton, who
cannot be reached by the
voters as the President cannot
be any more either, is proceed
ing as before. just as If the
voters had never uprooted
supporters Of the administra-
ton policy.
This they did by wholesale
and they spoke on the very
issue that Secretary Seaton
now raises, basin-wide devel-
opment. Whether the Column
bia shall be developed BASIN
wide has been at issue in
numerous projects in the
basin, most spectacularly at
Hell's Canyon in the Snake
River. a tributary of the CO.

gon border. This biggest un-
developed power site in our
country was put into the

S. The doctrine Of preven-
tive war was given a dramatic
tryout in the Egypt-Israel con-
f1ict. The Soviet arms build
UP Of Egypt brought its natural
sequel-military reprisal. The
original aggressor -, Nasser -
has been told through the use
of force that there are limits
to the patience of Great Brit
ain and France, as well as
Israel whose borders in the last
several years have been re-
peatedly violated by raiding
troops from Egypt.
Likewise, the Arab states
have discovered that their own
oil revenues will be cut If
Nasser continues to refuse any
reasonable settlement of the
Suez Canal issue. The recent
blocking Of the canal has COM
PEELED the setting UP Of an al
tentative mechanism by Brit

dealing with oil shortages by

Arab leaders cannot overlook.
The disadvantages in the
situation, on the other hand,
are also to be noted. The
failure Of the United Nations
to take proper action when
Moscow first began sending
arms into Egypt to stir UP
trouble there, and the ineffec-

Nasser refused to let IsraeIs

Secretary Se0ton Criticized for Program
In the Columbia River Basin

Once again, but a bit earlier
than usual after a national
election, we can see how the
people are fooled.
They are partly to blame, as
will appear in case study that
affects the West, particularly
the Pacific Northwest. In the
latter section, one issue was
clearly drawn. as was pointed
out here right after the cleo
ton. and as clearly drawn as
any issue anywhere in the
country. For that reason the
case study is significant. The
issue was the Eisenhower adj
n1inistration's natural resources
policy, particularly the So
called partnership policy on
water resources.
The election constituted a
referendum on that policy, and
we find general agreement that
the voters 'repudiated the Ell
senhower policy. They did it
in elections for the Senate and
for the House Of Representa-
tives and for Governor and
State legislatures over a broad
terrain including Washington,
Oregon. California. Idaho and
Montana. What happened was
a veritable revolution, and
the verdict was unmistakable
against the Eisenhower policy.
But what do we now find?
We find the new Secretary
Of Interior, Pred Seaton, calm
ly announcing continuation Of
the rel ected administration
policy. including the partner
ship" scheme. whereby the adj
ministration is granting spe-
cial privileges to private utili-
ties in development of our
rivers which belong to all of
us.
But more than that. In a
speech at Salt Lake City Sec
rotary Seaton said fatty that
the Eisenhower administration
will permit no further BASIN

Southeast. Integrated develop
ment of our rivers on a BASIN

electric power first was adj
vocated half a century ago by
a Republican President, Theo-
dore Roosevelt. 1t came INTO
reality in the Franklin Roose-
welt and Harry Truman re-
girnes in iva and in California
and in the Pacific Northwest
in plans for development of
the great Columbia basin with
starts at Grand Coulee in
Washington and Bonneville in
Oregon.
Only by basin-wide develop
ment Of our river basins can
we conserve the land and the
waters to the best advantage
and serve the people who live
there most effectively and most
economically. Only in that
way, as we learned from iva,
can floods be controlled. Only
in that way can the waters be
best utilized for irrigation,
navigation and production Of
electricity. It is only practical,
common sense, and business
like. Engineers all agree to
that. Only public development
can do It cheaply. for profit
