(The Church by then had consid erably too much power, with the result that the common man was coming to look upon it much as ho now looks upon Big Business, but Henry's personal grievance seems to have been that it frowned upon his advanced Holly wood ideas of marriage.) THE right to speak at Marble Arch corner is by royal grant, and the only limitations are that you must not defame the royal family, advocate treason, incite to violence or take up a collec tion. The background of Tower Hill forum is somewhat different. The merchants of the City of London (Hyde Park is in the City of Westminister) were always in a row with the king. As the finale to one of the bitterer of these rows, they forbade him to enter the City of London save upon the express invitation of the mayor and the council. (To this day, tradition being what It is here, the king, whose residence! is In Westminister, enters the City of London only by invitation, these Invitations, of course, bring social affairs of the first magni tude.) Having thus put the king in his place, the good burghers turned around and forbade those who felt the call to get up on a soap box to speak ill of the king or the royal family on Tower Hill leaving it distinctly under stood that if the king were to be told off it must be done with the proper official trimmings by the Lord Mayur and the Council. All of this, of course, was many, many centuries ago, but It is interestingly typical of the attitude of the British toward their king. They love him when he's good, but they want It un derstood , that he can be told what's what. When Charles II cot unruly on this point, they cut off his head. Other than speaking evil of the royal family or inciting to treason or violence, Tower Hill Is a free forum. Hyde Park, however, the favorite. THERE were long centuries when if you had something in your system that wouldn't let you sleep you got up on a stool, did whatever was necessary to collect a crowd, and got It out by word of mouth - there being then no other way. With the progress of the mechanical revo lution, including the invention of the rotary press, you now write a letter to the papers to the Times if what is irking you is in Hie higher realms of business or statecraft, and to the penny eve ning press if you have a lesser mind. But in its day Hyde Park was an immensely significant sym bol of that grim determination to SPEAK HIS MIND when things aren't going right that has made the Anglo-Saxon such a power for democracy through out the world. Its tradition is a fine tradition. TODAY the Hyde Park speak ers are largely craikpots -but they are crackpots of a most peculiar type. Watching them somehow they and the crowds who listen arc fascinating, nd you come back again and again ynn come to the conclusion Hint they are exhibitionists. With a Tew exceptions, they are battered specimens who. one suspects, are pushed about. Tliey are meageily dressed. They are inclined to be so thin as to sug gest under -nourishment. An American notices that they have been without dental care. Get ting up on a step-ladder f highly REPRESENTATIVE By Charles V. Stanton Congressman Harris Ellsworth has declared that it will be a pleasure to serve in a session of, Congress in which Congress will be responsible for the legislative function of government. We can fully understand and share his pleasure. . We believe the people of this country in general will be pleased and relieved when and if such condition is fully realized, , . But we rather imagine stormy times lie ahead in achiev ing the goal of true representative government. Too many of our congressmen have gained their seats through sur render of individuality. Too many went to Congress simply because of a pledge to support the Rooseveltian regime. Too many have been leaning heavily upon the executive arm of government and it will be difficult for them to stand erect upon their own two feet. Some of these "rubber stamps," in attempting to escape from having the mantle of responsibility placed upon their own weak shoulders, doubtless will favor continuation of government by execu tive decree. A clash between rugged individualists and weak satellites in Congress is inevitable. One group will insist that Congress recover its surrendered powers. The other, having trained in obsequious service to executive bureaucracy, doubtless will try to shirk responsibility by favoring continuance of executive control. We rather imagine, however, that those members who secured election on a promise of servility will soon become political orphans. Used as tools by a power-hungry admin istration, they are now faced by a Chief Executive who has evidenced a purpose of returning constitutional authority to the three governmental departments. Apparently it is not the President's policy to write the ticket for satellite con gressmen. Politically trained in the U. S. Senate, Mr. Truman evidences respect for the authority laid down for Congress by the Constitution. He apparently intends that (Congress shall resume its responsibilities. Powers ordinarily vested in Congress were released to the executive branch of government for the period of the war emergency, This was done on the theory that greater efficiency would result. But, instead, we have had the utmost confusion and inefficiency. Peculiarly, a large section of our population has failed to place responsibility where it belonged. Bureaucratic propagandists blandly charged Congress with accountability for inefficiency of domestic administration, while blithely ignoring policies laid down by Congress and acting in direct contravention to congressiqnal authorization and, occas ionally, iil absolute violation of rules laid down in legisla tive acts. An outstanding exnmplo is the War Labor board. The WLB is exclusively a creation of the executive department. It was not authorized by Congress and even contended it was not aiWerable to Congress. The majority of all strikes and labor difficulties occurring in tho country during the war peric-d were directed at the War Labor board. The WLB was responsible for the Montgomery Ward company seizure. Continuous controversy has surrounded that agency. Congress took the rap from public opinion for many of the acts of tho WLB. The Labor press has been par ticularly critical. Yet this board was not created by Con gress, but was entirely and completely a branch of the executive department. The same is true of numerous other executive bureaus and agencies established under the cloak of war emergency. The forthcoming session of Congress should see repre sentative government restored. The executive department should be shorn of the emergency powers granted for the duration. President Truman's acts to date indicate he will cooperate in achievement of that purpose. When members of Congress are forced to accept full responsibility for their acts, we will have definite assurance that the will of the people eventually will be obeyed. De mocracy will be restored in a country which has been giving it only lip service while practicing many of the evils of po litical faiths with which we were at war. favored forum) and laying it off to an audience gives them some thing that is lacking in their starved lives delusions of gran deur, probably. Religion is a favorite subject, but not evangelistic religion. They are totally uninterested in bringing people down to the mourner's bench. They run, rather to dogma. With all this political furore, there has been no leftish or radical or, for that matter, any other kind of intel ligent political speaking. Much of the stuff is the purest drivel, and after about five minutes of It they call for questions which is where the crowd comes in. The questions asked are as silly as the subjects the speakers deal with. For example: "How do they get sausages out of a pig without breaking the skin?" The answer, given with an expression of condescending disdain; "Why, with jet propulsion, of course!" Whereupon the crowd howls with glee at the discomfiture of the questioner. The speakers arc obviously pro fessionals and in order to get a crowd they have to develop such tricks of repartee. But they are forbidden to take up a collection and the taboo holds rigidly. No coins are tossed. There Is NO money incentive. It is some Inner urge that drives them to do It. As already stated, they are strictly TYPES. . T wouldn't go in America. One doubts if it would fcu un:.- here GOVERNMENT in the world save In Hyde Park. In all probability it wouldn't go here but for the TRADITION. But it is one of the great free shows of London. Thousands flock here every night, strolling from group to group and taking it in. It is probably significant that the questioners fall into the same general types as the speak ers. It seems obvious that Hyde Park gives to a certain type of Londoner something that he craves. Some momentary, thrill ing sense of being somebody. r HE American Gls love it. By the thousands, they cluster around the speakers, their faces a study In incredulity, puzzle ment and rather cynical disdain that people should amuse them selves in such a pointless way but carefully keeping their thoughts for themselves, for the Gl has proved himself a pretty capable ambassador of goodwill and he doesn't want to hurt the feelings of these English people who in general have been nice to him. Back of it all is the oak-studded green beauty of Hyde Park's 350 acres in the very heart of one of the world's most congested cities, with its strolling thou sands, its cricket and Its softball games. And its couples. Here is obviously where London comes to make love. No one In London should miss Hyde Park end apparently no mie divs. OUT OUR WAY iBIPi W WILD FLOWERS OH, WELL, WS 'if lli AM' THEV WAS SO f DIFFRUKJT--1 WAS m ill SWEET SMELLIM' JUST ABOUT TO JUMP ) r 11 i I lit 1 HAD MY MOSE IN VOU FER.

Ordered to Rehire Ousted Service Man SEATTLE, Aug. 18. (AP) The Northern Pacific railway was ordered yesterday by Judge Leavy to rehire a discnargeu service man who had been on inactive status and working at the Puget Sound navy yard since 1943. The railway said it had no ob jection to rehiring the veteran, Raymond Tipper, but refused to do so at the rcouest of union of ficials. Samuel Bassett, represent ing the International Association of Machinists, said his union's members felt their seniority rights would be prejudiced if Tip per were taken back. The question was whether the 90-day period allowed for service men to apply for former jobs begins when they arc transferred to the enlisted reserve or on the date of discharge.

Plasma operations were closed down at the end of the war. For weeks 60 donors had been planning to make . the 200-mile trip by bus from Roseburg, regu larly made each month by don ors, according to Mrs. Violet Hannan, executive secretary of the Red Cross chapter in Doug las county. In the group, also accompanied by Franklyn Voyt, Red Cross field director on furlough from services to the armed forces in Europe, were Mrs. Veralee Cun ningham, Mrs. Edna Scofield, Mrs. G. W. Memson, Mrs. Dallia Phipps, Mrs. Nora Stephens, Mrs. Gertrude Kelly, Mrs. Jo sephine Parker, Mrs. G. W. Holm and Mrs. May Green. Mrs. Cun ningham gave her eighth pint for the gallon club. The local center has a small quota to fill each day of O don ors for whole blood, as sufficient supplies of plasma are on hand for all army and navy needs. Trips of the mobile unit to neigh boring localities were discon tinued last week, as It was equipped to take donations for plasma only. Continue Saving Waste Paper, Housewives Urged PORTLAND, Aug. 18. (API Oregon housewives were urged today to continue stacking up waste paper, draining used grease into containers instead of the sink, and carefully flatten ing out tin cans. The state salvage committee pointed out that tin is still a critically short metal, and fats and oils still scarce. "We hope the need for volun teer activities In salvaging these materials will terminate in the near future," the War Production board advised the committee, "but for the present their efforts are deltnitety needed. 1 1 Solar disk 32 French river 12 New Mexican 33 Ran river 34 Brother of 13 Accomplished Jacob (Bib.) 15 Circular plate 39 Ravi 16 He succeeded 40 Precipice j Biddle 43 We - 17 Binds - 45 New (comb. , 19 Poem: - -form) 21 Gone to bed 46 Heart ' 23 Stale water 47 Exist 25 Desert' garden 49 Laughter scots ssund - 31 Sw-eetsop 91 continually I'lUf... it, JjL Ejf"v 1 - - -Jii : ...
