THANKS TO GOVERNOR SNELL
By Charles V. Stantou
GOVERNOR SNELL has added greatly to his political
stature as the result of his appointment of Attorney Guy
Cordon to succeed the late U. S. Senator Charles L. McNary.
It is no secret that the governor coveted the position for
himself. He has frankly admitted the ambition.
Earl Snell would have been and we hope may yet be a
capable United States senator. We share with him his con
fidence that he "could render a valuable and constructive
service," to the state of Oregon and to the nation, had he
chosen to grasp the appointment for himself, as he had the
power to do.
It requires a large measure
men great to reject an opportunity to fulfill a life-long am
tyition. The governor might have lost some political esteem
and support had he availed himself of the power his office
carries to advance arbitrarily
1 et, we firmly believe he would, by the time election rolled
around, have regained, through efficient service, the support
which might have been lost 'temporarily through unfavorable
sentiment arising from the advancement of himself as the
interim senator.
The picture of men in positions of authority risinir above
the level of personal aggrandizement, subjugatinir self-inter-
jest to the welfare of the commonwealth, is a rarity in these
" niurciiiuinBiH., in uici, wiin me mode in high places.
The overwhelming majority by which Earl Snell was elect
ed to the office of governor attests the esteem in which he
is held by Oregon voters. He has added to that esteem by
unselfish sacrifice of his personal ambitions to the best in
terests of the state he was elected to serve.
The moot fact, which makes the appointment in the best
interest of the state, is that no interim appointee could enter
upon the work with greater foreknowledge of procedure and
current issues than Cordon. It does not involve the question
of whether Cordon possesses more, or less, ability for the of
fice than does Snell.
For more than 15 years Cordon has spent several months
or each year in Washington. He has been working closely
with the Oregon delegation. He is familiar with the capitol
set-up Ho can step into the job with as much ease as if
he had been previously in office. Ho will be able to retain
for the state ot Oregon many of the important posts held bv
euecessor. a man less tamiliar with methods and with
existing legislation would, of necessity, spend months getting
acquainted with his duties and finding his place in the sen
ate organization.
Naturally, the residents of Douglas county rejoice in the
hoi, or bestowed upon Guy Cordon, who becomes the first
United States senator ever to serve from this section of Ore
gon. 0 are extremely grateful to Governor Snell for his
, ,-ueu.any realising and Appreciating the
sacrifice tho action involved.
We have every confidence that Cordon will fill the of
fice .111 a manner bringing credit to himself and t u,c state
'Oregon and that Governor Snel. will have no reason,

11 is, of course, very natural for
those of us in the Forest Service

hamper forest research by slight

we are on the verge" of some re
search accomplishments that may
bring about a lot of Industrial
use of whal Is now nolhlng more
tlKin wood waste. The alcohol
possibilities from wood, for ex
ample, are something that may
develop into a very worthwhile
industry and will be worth a lot
by way ofindustrial payrolls and
employment for a lot of people.

We told you last week there
would be lots of changes this
week, but here's orle w e didn t
expect Army Air Forces replac
es the Paul and Jerry Show to
night at 6.30. We used to look for
ward to the weekend with great
pleasure because of all the fine
shows, but now we can greet
most any day with the assurance
that there will be not one, but
several especially good bits o
programming. Take tonight for
instance: following Army Air
Forces, there's Lone Ranger at
7:30 and you needn't laugh
we'll bet you listen too. Chuck
and tho Bunkhouse Boys, all fix
ed up with a sponsor and lots of
swell western tunes tonight at 8
and, of course, our pet Point
Sublime at 8:30. Then at 10
o'clock sort of the frosting on
tile cake there's Shelock Holmes
and Dr. Watson, with an assort
ment of blood curdling tales. Do
you listen to Lullaby in Rhythm
at 4:30? If you don't, you're miss
ing some good music and clever
chatter. As a matter of fact, al
thought the music is tops, we get
more entertainment out of the
announcer than we do from the
melodies. As a matter of fact al
so, they're on right now so lot's
all quite worfc and listen
