President Nasser willingness to negotiate with the five-nation committee, set up by the London keeps the way open for a setttlement fair to Egypt and acceptable to the users of the canal. It is the nearly unanimous judgment of the press' of the non- Soviet world and this includes those who have been critical of John Foster Dulles in the past that the largest credit rightly be longs to the American secretary of state because he succeeded: 1 In 'arresting the first-blush drift to turn to the use of force instead of to the use of the confer ence 2 In centering the attention of 21 of the 22 nations meeting in London Soviet Russia was the single exception on the issue of the dependable use ot the canal instead of. upon the issue of East-West relations in the Middle East.

This is no small achievement. It is a notable achievement. It was accomplished against great odds. London and Pans were swept by a wave of Fear and bluster when Col. Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal Company.

Many of the Asian and African diplomats were mas Democrats for the Morse campaign fund. Morse replied "with glowing thanks, but instantly returned the fund to Chairman Greener instructing him to "spend it as he thinks best, for the benefit of the entire and mind vou, I sav entire Democratic ticket in Clackamas Countv." Thence he launched into a fighting speech for the whole party ticket, noting every local candidate almost down to dog-catcher. And then, when he had sufficiently proved his fidelity to his new party, he got down to real busi ness. Pork chops were his business. The pork chop issues were all he talked about.

'It Went Over Bif' It was not a prepared speech, but it was fierv and effective.

You couldn't prove, it by me.

I have a tin ear for music. I am not quite old enough to remember the bulb horns on au- tomobiles which went boop-boop, but I do recall the old klaxons which went oorah, oogah. y-Some of the' early horns, ih truth, sounded lite' the mating call of the bison. Or so an old Indian friend tells me. From these vulgar sounds' it was but a step to the long, slim, silvered horns known as Gabriel-trumpets which played, "How Dry I Am." The early horns, which went beep-beep, toot-toot or perhaps sonorous burp-burp, customarily threw horses, dogs and Old Guard pedestrians into fits.

-They heralded the Auto Age and sometimes I think I was born 30 years too soon. In 30 years, I confidently we will all be driving helicopters which have silent horns like dog whistles that can be heard only by another helicopter.

But on highways and busy city streets, the high-pitched tones do the best job of penetrating the foggy minds of persons who are engrossed in their own problems. The way to test the hom on vour car is to blast it at a- sleepy pedestrian who is crossing in front of you. If he jumps three feet straight up and comes down' running, your hom is adequate for traffic.

S. secretary of ate helped immeasurably to clear th atmosphere and to improve the outlook. He succeeded in Tocusing the energies of the British and the French upon a workable solution rather than upon what measures would be taken if Col. Nasser rejected a "workable" solution. He won the confidence of the participating Asian and African nations by accepting unqualifiedly Egypt's right to nationalize the Suez Canal Company and' by making it clear that he would be a party to no proposal which infringed Egypt's sovereignty.

In the end he became the unify ing agent for the hopes and purposes of nearly every nation at the conference tatye. Their representatives recognized that the America for which Mr. Dulles spoke was seeking no goal other than the highest common denominator of good for all concerned.

And against these "Repub lican reactionaries, these deep-dyed enemies of the welfare of the masses, Wayne Morse promised to wage ferocious battle once again, as he had in the past. It went over big. Such is the Morse line, just as the line of Morse's opponent, Douglas McKay, is to charge that he is the victim of "leftist" slan ders, and to accuse Morse of most of the crimes in the calendar including disrespect for President. Eisenhower. McKay says he has "an uphill fight" on his hands.

Morse breathes confidence and so do all those around him. Both men begin campaigning before dawn their schedules usually start with a 5 a. m. call to make a bleakly early breakfast meeting and both continue their campaigning until long after dark. (Copyright, 1956) gressman is J.

"I wbuld also like two seats for the Salzburg festivals two or three times each and would appreciate your selecting the best available." He deliberately went fishing during the Democratic convention, as previsously reported here, because of another letter-he had written to Vice President Nixon. In this letter, Powell offered to campaign for the Republicans this fall. The reason he gave was the Democrats' schizophrenia over the civil rights issue. Another possible reason: Powell is --under income-tax investigation by the Republicans.
