Departed Champion

In the death Of Harold E. Fellows,
broadcasters of the Nation have lost
great friend and champion. 7
AS chairman of the board and pres
1dent OF the National Association of
BroadcasterS, Hal Fellows stood for all
that was best in an industry which, in
a very few years, has carved for itself
an important place in the economy of
the country and the American way of
life. He understood, apparently far
better than some others in the field, the
responsibilities that go with the daily
electronic opportunity of entering the
living rooms Of his fellow citizens. His
leadership in the development Of stand
ards Of good practice for radio and
televiSion broadcasters is a matter of
record.
He was a persuasive advocate of the
principle Of industry self-regulation as
opposed to increased legislative controls
by Congress or administrative rules by
the Federal Communications Commits
sion in the wake of the recent quiz and
payola scandals. He will be sorely missed
by his many friends, both here and
across the Nation.

exiled government for failure to partici-
pate in cease-f1re negotiations, but leaves
the door open for such move. Mean
while, he says, the army has no choice
but "to complete directly the re-estab-
lishment of order"
At the same time, it appears that
what the general is doing is appealing
over the heads of the extremists. He calls
the million French residents of Algeria
indispensable" and affirms their fright
to live there" He points out, too, that
many Moslems lin Algeria) would like
to stay with France" and adds that AGO.
600 MoSlem AlgerianS also work and live
in continental France He calls direct
domination (colonialism) impossible, but
reminds Algerians of their vital eco
nomic relationship with France. He even
exhortS the army to prepare itself "mor-
ally and materially" for it's "broad duty
-. elsewhere" as France becomes again
a world power. In this strategy of hold
ing forth something for almost every
body, the resourceful President even
tually may find basis for settlement
Of the Algerian problem on his terms.
But that basis is far from being in sight
now.

Doesn't Trust Press

Investigating committees
Of Congress are not sacro-
sanct, nor are their members
always guided by altruistic
principles. The public. how
ever, has come to rely upon
these committees as a means
Of last resort to get at the
truth.
Such committees have be-
come a vital public neces-
sity. But for these commit
tees to function effectively,
there must be a better
means Of getting their mes
sage to the public than that
now being accorded by pri-
vately owned and controlled
communications media which,
in too many instances, are
now publishing and broad
casting only such committee
information as suits their
special interests.
For the people better to
know the truth. I believe the
Federal Government should
televise and broadcast
through exclusively owned
and operated channels, as
much as is practicable of COM
mittee hearings. The public
was able to see for itself
what went on in the Army
Mccarthy and Dave Beck
hearings. In this way the
public learned the truth and
acted upon it.

PoIefoce. 'Forked Tongue

Our Sympathies are with the Tus-
carora Indians in their latest experience
with paleface justice. However legally
valid the majority decision Of the Su-
preme Court may be in the Niagara
power case-and three of the nine judges
entered vigorous diSSent-the Indians
will look upon it as another instance of
the Governments bad faith. AS the red
men on TV and in the movies would put
it, the white man makes promises with
"forked tongue"
The Six-judge majority has reversed
an appellate decision that would have
permitted the TuScaroraS to stay on
part of the land in Western New York
they have owned for $50 years. Now
they must move to make way for a
hydroelectric power reservoir. From
eight to thirty-seven homes will be
destroyed, depending on how much land
is taken by the New York Power Author
ity. The Indians will be paid, of course,
for the conflscated land. The Supreme
Court decision hinged on technically
whether this land, bought by the Tus-
carora tribe as permanent home after
it had been forced to flee from its orig
inal villages in North Carolina, is a
reservation" within the meaning of
the Federal Power Act. The majority
opinion, written by Justice Whitaker,
interpreted the act as ruling that land
owned by the Indians rather than by
the United States is not legally "reser-
vation."
However, the majority conceded that
"by generally accepted standards and
common understanding" the land in
question might be considered to be a
reservation" And Justice Black, speak
ing also for the Chief Justice and Justice
Douglas, contended that the Federal
Power Act specifically exempted from
condemnation tribal lands embraced
within Indian reservations
tribally or Federally owned
1t is true, as the majority opinion
points out in footnote, that the Power
Authority at one time offered the tribe
SIS million for 1888 acres, plus free
removal of displaced families to other
land on which new homes would be
built. But the TuScaroraS are not in
terested in money, only retention Of
their homes. said the minority: The
record does not leave the impression
that the lands of their reservation are
the most fertile, the landscape the most
beautiful or their homes the most
splendid specimens of architecture. But
this is their home-their ancestral home
There they, their children and their
forebears were born. They, too, have
their memories and their loves. Some
things are worth more than money and
the costs Of new enterprise"
There is much force to the sentiment
expressed in Justice Blacks concluding
statement: II regret that this court is
to be the governmental agency that
breaks faith with this dependent people
Great nations, like great men, should
keep their word"

Solar Woyforer

ALI Americans have reason to be
proud of Pioneer VS. flight into orbit
around the sun. Although it has been
preceded on the same aweSome route
by RuSSia'S 1la-ton Mechta and by our
13-pound Pioneer w, it promises to be
by far the most informative traveller Of
its kind up to this moment in the
space age.
Mechta, despite its superior weight
and size, has been silent a long time and
has never been regarded as significant
in terms of transmitting useful data to
our earth. Similarly, although consid-
erably more impressive than Mechta in
that sense, our little Pioneer w has not
been heard from since reaching a point
100000 miles out in space. But now,
by way Of contrast, the newest of the
solar wayfarers is expected to be veri-
table mine of information, possibly for
decades, as it travels at speed of 10000
miles an hour in an unending orbit
around the sun.
This is so because Pioneer v, which
weighs mere 95 pounds and is no bigger
than beachball, is marvelouSly instru-
24ACAAbOA WAO14 AI4d61SdL C1CSO1O1IAS
ment If it functions as planned, with
its outside paddle wheels" constantly
powering its radios with the suns energy,
it will keep on sending messages to us,
periodically over the years, from dis
tanceS as tremendous as so million
miles. And the messages will add greatly
to mans knowledge of radiation,
magnetism, micrometeorites and other
phenomena of vital Importance to in
terplanetary exploration and travel in
space.
Accordingly, assuming that Pioneer
V performs in keeping with the hopes
of its launchers, it will contribute sig
nificantly to the worlds education, and
it will incidentally enhance our coun-
trys prestige. Congratulations and
thanks are owing to all who have had a
part in sending it Sunward

Candidates and Labor

With Ike out, I find leading
candidates in the field Of
presidential material under
labor dictatorship. Certainly
any candidate, under labor
control, whose policies tend to
destroy the peoples freedom
Of right to work, makes for
inferior presidential material.
Three of the mob of So
called Democratic candidates
are labor-vote charmers -
Senators Kennedy, Hum
phrey and Morse-and not
fit men for that high office.
They are purely puppets of
the socialistic labor bosses
and would be comparable to
Meany, Mcdonald, Hoffa or
Reuther in the White House.
Nixon has been placed on
the questionable list also be-
cause Of his meddling in the
steel strike.
We have been very fortu-
nate in the past eight years
not to have had a President
controlled by labor bosses and
1t is very important not to
elect a union-controlled one
in November. If we do, we
would. in a short time, be-
come a Nation controlled by
socialistic union dictators.

McGW Partly Right

Even Ralph McGill can be
right some of the time, as he
is in applying the metaphor
of the albatrosS to the pre-
dicament of Senators from
certain of the Deep South
States. It is indeed stupid to
deny registration to Tuske-
gee educators on the ground
of illiteracy. The Southern
States can and should con-
slider without further delay
the desirability of putting in
to their electoral laws some
qualifications as to length
of residence and property
ownership. as we'll as the
registrant's comprehension
of the listed duties Of the
principal elective Offices.
c'Right" or wrong" check
sheets might, of course, be
employed to test compre-
hension, and they could be
used with complete fairness
even by the least literate
Southern registrars or the
most liberal" Northern
referee.0
McGill is less convincing,
however. when he says that
"if State law conflicts with
the Federal, the national
law is supreme" Article x
of the Bill Of Rights reads:
THE powers not delegated
to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the States, are re-
served to the States respec-
lively. or to the people"
Even the present Supreme
Court admits that this ar
ticle of the Constitution
means exactly what it says,
so there are areas in which
the Honorable Justices of
the Supreme Court would be
bound by their oath of Office
to uphold a State law as OPP
posed to a Federal one, and
vice versa. To be sure the
court can, if it is willing to
stretch or abuse it's powers,
get around any provision of
the Constitution by holding
that whatever the justices
wish to have done is required
by some other article of the
same document, and this in
a nutshell is what the court
did as regards public school
desegregation. McGill's doc
trine of the primacy of the
Federal statute is, therefore,
to use another metaphor,
something "for the birds"

Forgotten Feminist

1t was my great privilege
in years past to be a resident
Of our National Capital and
I recall that The Star was a
leading m edium through
which I frequently expressed
my opinions.
I have a poignant feeling
about the recent list of Credo
postage stamps given out
by the Postmaster Generals
Office. I am not objecting to
the names of the six distin-
guished American men who
have been honored, but do
deeply and democratically
deplore the fact that Susan
B. Anthony, acknowledged as
Americas greatest woman
and characterized by Carrie
Chapman Gait as "for go
years the propulsive force of
this movement"-the woman
movements still so eclipsed
by masculine egotism as to
be left out of the national
list of American greatness.
She should be seventh in the
list Of honor, and I propose
one Of the following suitable
quotations for the stamp:
Nothing is hopeless, if it
is right" This was her cou-
rageous creed.
There is, and can be but
one safe principle of gov
ernment, equal rights for ALL"
This pronouncement by Miss
Anthony is especially signifi-
cant this election year.

Mr.. Doerfer Bows Out

In his letter of resignation, FEC
Chairman John C. Doerfer told the Pres
ident that necessary contacts with ra-
dio and television industry people may
eventually ripen into social acquaint-
ances and sometimes friendships which,
despite appearances, do not imperil the
integrity of either the Government off,
cial or the member Of industry"
This, it seems to us, is Singularly
revealing statement. For 1t suggests
that Mr.. Doerfer, intent upon defending
his integrity, which has not been ques-
toned as far as we know, is insensitive
to the Importance of appearances. The
fact is, however, that appearances, es-
pecially in the case of the chairman Of
Federal regulatory agency, are of very
real Importance.
In 1858 Representative Harris CON-
mittee released a report criticizing FEC
members for accepting what the COM
mittee regarded as excessive hospitality
from industry people. Evidently this did
not make deep impression on Mr. Doer-
fer. At any rate, after the committee
report had been issued, he accepted
hospitality from the owner of a chain
Of radio and TV stations, flying to
Florida in the latter'S private plane and
spending six nights aboard his Florida
based yacht.
This does not mean that Mr.. Doer-
fer's integrity was impaired. But the
appearance, the impression conveyed, is
enough to support the Presidents con-
clusion that Mr. Doerfer's decision to
resign was "a wise one"

THE POLITICAL MILE
Spotlight Turns Again on Oreqon
By GOULD LINCOLN

Oregon Democrats are bent
on electing a woman to the
United States Senate-Mau-
rine Neuberger, widow of the
late Senator Richard L. Neu-
berger. The Republicans will
have a tough job defeating
Mrs. Neuberger, attractive
and politically wise and ex-
perienced. She served several
terms in the State legislature
and showed herself a real
vote-getter in her various
elections. If she succeeds in
the coming senatorial election
she will give the Democrats
their first representative in
the Senate in a number of
yearS-unless, of course, other
Democratic women candi-
dates for that chamber also
are successful in the Novem-
ber elections. The Republicans
have the only woman Senator
today-Mrs. Margaret Chase
Smith of . Maine, who will
be running for a third term.
Mrs. Smith may be challeng-
ed by a Democratic woman in
the coming campaign, Miss
Lucia Cormier, who, like Mrs.
Neuberger, has been active
in politics and has served in
the Maine State legislature.
Mrs. Smith has been widely
popular in Maine and despite
a recent record of Democratic
victories there, her chances
for reelection should be good.
Further. the death of Demo-
cratic Gov. Claussen has put
the State House in the hands
of the Republicans.
Oregon frequently has
turned out to be a political
puzzle-and it is so far in
1860 living up to past per-
formanceS. While Mrs. Neu-
berger has been promised
the backing of Representa-
tive Edith Green and Rep
resentative Porter, both
Democrats who were men,
toned as possible candidates
for the Neuberger Senate
seat prior to the filing of
Mrs. Neuberger in the May
20 primary, there remains
the question: Will the Ore
gon voters elect a woman to
the Senate? The answer pre-
sumably is yes, if she is
qualified, as Mrs. Neuberger
undoubtedly is. Senator Morse
OF Oregon, an unpredictable
Democrat, Immediately fol-
lowing the death Of Senator
Neuberger with whom
Senator Morse had frequent
ly quarreled-delivered an
eulogy of both Senator and
Mrs. Neuberger on the floor
Of the Senate. 1t would be
strange, indeed, if he does
not support her in the COM
ing campaigning matter
who her Republican oppo-
nent may be.
Choice of Morse Predicted
In that same May 20 pri-
mary, Oregon voters will give
their preferences for presi-
dental and vice. presidential
candidates of both major po-
lltical parties. Senator Morse
is running as a candidate
for President. Most political
observers as well as Oregon
politicians are predicting
that, against a divided field
in the Democratic Primary,
he will win the presidential
preference election and have
pledged to him Oregon's del
egation to the Democratic
National Convention in July.

THIS AND THAR
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL
"VAN NESS STREET.

VAN NESS STREET.
Dear Sir:
you sometimes carry ar
ticles on daily living relative
to making life more COM
Portable as we go along.
Il have made a discovery
I would like to share with
mankind.
Maybe it isn't new, but I
have never heard of it.
1T is this:
go to bed at 6 o'clock in
the evening.
Revolutionary?
"You would think so, from
the comments of my friends.
AS a matter of fact, I have
now got to the point where
I conceal it, as if it were a
deadly sin.
"Since inaugurating this
system of mine, some six
months ago, I feel better, eat
better, and believe it or not,
sleep better.
1T seems to me that we
are all the victims of the
tenseness of our age. whether
we realize it or not. The evils
men do, as you said not long
ago. not only live after them
in the newspapers but they
also influence all Of us.
Even the radio waves, I
am sure, do something to us.
Maybe this is the mark of a
crank, but I do not think
so; I believe that some, at
least, of the general unrest
throughout the world may be
due to this ceaseless stream
OF invisible waves.
II pull the curtains of my
couch around me, as the poet
said, and lie down to pleasant
dreams. This gives me some
IL hours in bed, more or less.
"At first I was much upset
when I woke up and couldn't
go back to sleep. but now I
do not worry about it, and
find it really makes no diff
ference.
Somewhere read it said
tranquilizer pills really do
just one thing. make you in
different to what goes on, in
a good sense, of course, if
wisely selected and properly
taken.
II find that getting more
resi- is more important than
getting more sleep.
I'm our day the value of
sleep has been overplayed, it
seems to me.
1T is rest we need, not
sleep. We are on the go all
the time, in one way or the
other. Even when seated in
a soft chair watching a
lousy play on television we
are 'on the go in a very
bad sense.
