The Arabs conquered Palestine In 632 A. D. and have lived there ever since some 1300 years. Now It la proposed (for reasons touched In this column a day or to ago) to try to solve a lot of touchy problems ELSEWHERE by pushing the Jews back into Palestine. , TIIE Arabs are a long way ot'. We don't know many of them personally. Just offhand, It seems to us that it would be mighty nice of them If they would agree to give Palestine back to the Israelites. SUPPOSE, though, someone should propose In the interest of world harmony that WE should give AMERICA back to the INDIANS? How would WE take THAT suggestion? READING the papers and listen ing to the news broadcasts, It can't help seeming to us that the affairs of the world are badly tnafu'd. BUT wait a minute. Dr. W. L. Powers, head of Oregon State college soils depart ment, has been Invited to go to AFGHANISTAN to help super Vise construction of a 450,000-acre Irrigation project. (He says he doubts whether he can accept the offer, as he Is pretty busy here In Oregon.) Irrigation projects are PEACE projects. They MAKE HOMES for people. They provide CON STRUCTIVE employment. Their purpose Is to provide more food for the people of the world to eat. Come to think of it, we haven't read of any revolutions or up heavals or bloodletting of any kind in Afghanistan lately. And now here comes this nearly half-million-acre reclamation proposal. ITS a rather odd and Intriguing thought. Maybe there are MORE Afghanistans planning Ir rigation projects and other sim ple, peaceful, productive develop ments, and we Just haven't HEARD of them. Due to an odd quirk in human nature, It Is the RUCKUSKS that get ontiPlhe front pages and Into the news broadcasts done for us by men who know how to get an EXCITING note Into their voices. There Isn't anything very EX CITING about an irrigation project-Just as there Is nothing particularly exciting about milk ing cows. IK you will think back, you will recall frw stories on the front page (or In the news broadcasts) about a man going out peacefully about sundown to milk the cows. It is doubtful If you would rend such a story If It WERE on the front page, or listen to It It It were sent whizzing out over (he air waves. Milking cows is one nl nwn's most useful activities, hut it certainly Isn't exciting. No news editor could bring himself to put a hlg headline on It, and there Is no news analyst living who could make his voice PAIr PITATE while telling a simple tale of palling the the cows at eventide. THIS Is the point: In our1 excitement -craving modern existence we pay little heed to the simple narratives of peaceful existence. As long a the couple net door reniauu loving TWO GRAND GROUPS By Charles V. Stanton The Roseburg School Band, in brilliant uniforms, led by a majorette and strutters, came out Saturday afternoon for an all too brief parade of the city's business area. We hope the band will make appearances more often. Stirring music, the sight of youthful, uniformed marchers, the pep and enthusiasm of youth, does much to brighten the town. A few months ago, on a similar occasion, a Roseburg business man suggested it would be a fine thing to'have the school band on the street every Saturday, and proposed that business houses contribute to a fund to be donated to the band in return for pepping up shopping crowds. He said: It would be a hard thing to prove, but I'd be willing to bet good money that every time the band marches down the street it puts more than one hundred extra dollars Into our cash registers. We have noticed In eur business that shoppers rush to the street when the band goes by. A few minutes earlier they were critical and sometimes cross. They return after the parade, smiling and happy; they're easier to please and they buy more merchandise than they had In mind earlier. We havpn't the merchant's viewpoint in mind, but we do know we always feel a lift in spirits when we listen to the excellent music of the school band. We cannot expect youngsters to parade during winter months, but business interests of the city might keep in mind the suggestion made by one of their number and utilize the band's services when the bright spring days roll around. And while commenting upon the valuable contribution being made to civic welfare by the school band, there is another organization which shouldn't be overlooked, and tnat s the Knights of Pythias Girls' Drum corps. Very few cities are able to boast of such a faithful, hard working nnd interested group of girls, or an organization which has taken a more active part in civic life. The drum corps was organized in 1940, starting with 13 girls. At present the membership is 28. The drum corps has represented Roseburg in many out- of-town affairs and upon each occasion has won high com mendation, not only for music and marching, but for fine appearance and conduct of members. The organization has not been maintained without a struggle. There have been numerous discouragements. It has at times been difficult to keep membership at a point sufficient for satisfactory practice and a drum corps must spend many tedious hours in practice to secure the perfect coordination which this particular type of music requires. But the girls of the K. of P. Drum corps have proved themselves real troupers and are deserving of sincere ap preciation. Our personal hope is that some of these days Les Irwin and Bill Black will consolidate their organizations for a joint.appeRiWe and that they'll includo rendition of that stirring old favorite, "Semper Fidelis." And we hope they'll let us know in advance. We don't want to miss it. Civil War Apt to Split China, Build Communist State IJy DeWITT MacKENZIE AH I'orelun Affairs Analvict Faje certainly Is making poor uuia iuii ine gauntlet. Thus far the efforts at recon dilation between the Chinese Communists and the national government have failed to dis close any avenue of esoano from the horror of a civil war which In fart Is already under way al though there has heen no formal declaration of hostilities. Bitterness has leen added to the situation through the charge oy ine i 'nines Kens tnat Amer ican fighting forces have been in action against them. The Com munist New China Dally News has blaoned the claim that V. S. I.l. Gen. Vedcmr er's promise that Americans would avoid par ticipation In Chinese Internal strife was "nothing but a lie." Roth Washington and Chung king have denied these allega tions categorically. That's as should be. . for armed Interven tion In Chinese civil war Is no part of Uncle Sam's business. Manchuria Points at Staka Tills column a week ago said that It looked as though the Chi nese Communists were figuring on the conquest of northern China where they are In great est strength -and Manchuria. IV velopments strengthen that be lief. Indications are that the Red strategy contemplates the seizure of Manchuria, with Its well de veloped war industries and other resources, (or a Kiweilul base from which to strike at (he na tional forces. The Communists Mll-ejirlv hold Im-ire indilsttiMl nnrt agricultural areas in the six noi tliei n l nines provinces. Wei the Red armies able to consolidate this great and rich territory, the natural develop- nient would he the cslahiish nient of a Chinese soviet slate, thus splitting China in two. And and ORDINARY, we pay no at tention to them, but when they stage a sicctacular fight and break windows and throw dishes and pull hair we get all twittered up about It. It is Just possible, you see, that we have been hearing all about the world's troubles and little if anything of the CONSTRUC TIVE progress that la probably foing on all around us. Alabe It s a DKTTfcR world than we think. one wonders whether the war would halt with this partition of the once huge China, or whether it might continue to the hloodv finality which would see one side completely crushed. A fight to a finish might mean vears of tor ture for China's five hundred millions. Manchuria Rich in Resources Certainly the crisis now de veloping in northern China is one of the greatest experienced by that country in the some 5.000 years of history w hich is claimed by tradition. Manchuria is the key to the immediate future, because of its vast resources. This countrv pos sesses one of the richest so"ils In the world and it is heavilv culti vated. There Is great mineral wealth coal, iron, gold and man ganese. There is petroleum, and lumber Is an Important product. For this reason the armies of both sides are racing to gain control of the railroads running from Northern China into Man churia. The Japs have been de veloping the country intensively ever since they overran it In 1!I31, and thereby set In motion the wheels of aggression which ultimately brought Mussolini and Hitler Into the field of conquest. Generalissimo Chiang Karsiiek had planned to land troops from the sea at Dairen and Port Ar thur, the great Manchurian har bors, but according to Informa tion In Chungking his govern men! hasn't been able to over come Soviet objections to the use of these ixirts. This has caused disappointment and worry to the Chinese nationalists, but no of. final In the capital has been will-, Ing to comment for fear of of fending Moscow.

MESSING PERSONS fr -Cr r TRACED tr Cr t RaysMael Dels sad AaatciatM U4 X.L MS HtllS hMU.kt Tex Freedom Of Publicly-Owned Utilities Scored WASHINGTON. Nov. 6, A West Coast utility official con tended yesterday that public power's freedom from taxation represents an "injustice that should be corrected." This view was given the securi ties subcommittee of the House Interstate Commerce committee by Kinsey M. Robinson, president of the Washingtno Water Power company, Spokane. Tbe committee, investigating the workings of the public utilf ties holding company act of 1935, is attempting to determine whether liquidation under the act is permitting capltaliation of tax exemption and tending to destroy private companies. Asserting that the "tax Injus tice" should be corrected, Robin son said that all the private utili ties companies seek is "an equality of opportunity In a tax sense." "Othrewlse," he declared, "the entire industry will be socialized. "It Is apparent to many of us that a well-directed attempt backed by political power, and financed by public funds, is being made to socialize the electric utility Industry." Privately-owned utilities have grown without aid of subsidies, he declared, and have "always" paid their own way "despite the burden of heavy taxes."

Allies Knew Nazis Were Preparing to Launch Robot Bomb By FRANK CAREY ( Associated Press Science Writer) WASHINGTON The Allies had a tlpoff that the Germans were preparing to launch robot bomt at least six months before the first buzzer was aimed against London and a defense was planned. "This information Is contained in a scientific report dealing with the development of the VT or proximity fuse for anti-aircraft shells and other missiles. The VT a miniature radio get which causes a projectile to explode au tomatically when It gets within 70 feet of a target is credited with a large share in the defeat of the buzz bombs. Knew In '43 "Late In 1943," says a report by the applied physics laboratory ot Johns Hopkins university, which was prominent in the de velopment of VT fuses, "Allied Intelligence reports reevaled that the Germans were preparing to launch robot bombs against south ern England from enemy-held areas in France. "From the outset, the serious ness of this prospective attack was recognized and plans for the defense of London were started as early as December, 1943." Had Been Tried The plans Included the use of anti-aircraft fire. Since the U. S. and British navies had previously demonstrated the effectiveness of the VT in anti-aircraft fire, the fuse was included in the prepara tions. Thus, as early as January, 1944, filans were under way in Ar.er can scientific laboratoies for testing special fuses against "mock-ups of buzz bombs expect ed momentarily to be introduced by the Germans." ine iirst duzz d o m o was launched against London in June, i 1944, but three months prior to ; that time shells containing the i fuses were issued to 90 millimeter anti-aircraft batteries In England In preparation for the attack. Use Limited The fuses saw only limited use In the early stages of the attack, a navy report says, because of "various limitations to anti-aircraft firing or the safety of civil ian population." But their use was gradually stepped up working In conjunc tion with Improved radar and improved gun-directors until fi nally, as a report from an army observer declares: "The result ot the advent of VT fuses was truly sensational increases In 'kills.'
