That scares us. But common sense tells us that without a worlu police force there can be little hope of effec tive International control of atomic energy. Hmuan nature Isn't yet far enough advanced for that THERE are : truce troubles in China. The shooting was sup posed to stop at midnight Sun day, but on Monday morning both sides claim It still GOES ON. Don't lose hope. It took quite a while to get the shooting stopped both in Europe and in Japan, partly because all commanders didn't get the word Immediately. But ultimately It was stopped, . i Let's hope it may be the same in China, i ' THERE Is a LOCKOUT In Ar gentina. The MILITARY government orders wage increases and year end bonuses for workers, and business leaders order a 72-hour shutdown in prolest. They say the shutdown will be extended If no agreement Is reached by mid week. Opponents of Colonel Juan Peron, candidate for president In Argentina's election next month, say the government decree Is chiefly for HIS benefit and is an open bid for labor votes for him. WE'RE fully Justified In being suspicious of ANY kind of la bor legislation that is dictated wholly by politics. THERE Is a fuzzy slant In (his Argentine news. GAMBLERS arc said to have abandoned the government-operated casino at Mar del Plata in such numbers that the place closed down. The gamblers then formed an "L" for LIBERTY. Whcrcuxn the police dispersed them with tear gas. After that, there was considerable shooting and a number of people were hurt. It sounds like lousy reporting, but we must remember that cen sorship In Argentina Is rigid. Wherever there is rigid censor ship, tlie news will be unreliable. ON THE home front, congiess Is assembling for an election year session which happens every even-numbered year. ALL representatives and a third of the senators arc up for re-election In November. A cautious AP reporter says: "Hence political considerations will dictate MANY congressional actions." That's putting it conservatively. The unwholesome truth Is that political considerations will dic tate ALL of the actions of this congress. WE MIGHT as well add. It we are to be completely candid In our thinking, that political considerations will likewise dic tate all of President Truman's ac tions In this highly political year. THAT Is the way democracy works. It Is prolmhly the way It should work. One can't help thinking, however, that It would be nlc-e if we could have a sort of sabbatical year In which states manshlp rather than politics Would be the controlling prln' clple. American Legion Auxiliary Activrtiea) y Charles V. Stantoe Transfer of Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Peterson from Roseburg to Med ford will be a distinct loss to this com munity. Mr. Peterson, O. and C. supervisor, has been very active in civic affairs. He is a member of the Kiwanis club, has joined in sponsorship of softball and otaer athletics, and has assumed a position of leadership among young men oi trie city. The work of his wife, Aileen Peterson, in setting: up the Roseburg Recreation Program, has been a most im portant contribution to civic welfare. Mrs. Peterson took charge of a project for which there was no local precedent; a program involving difficult complications because of cooperative local and federal sponsorship. In spite of many difficulties and numerous obstacles, she has suc ceeded in setting up a most efficient organization, has secured cooperation from the general public, has formed hobby clubs, recreational projects of a nature tending to reduce juvenile Tlclinquency, organized athletic programs, sponsored get-acquainted activities for new residents and has otherwise directed the program into promoting greater happiness and welfare for the residents of the community. 1 , , . . , , The Recreational Program Was set up jointly by the municipality and federal government under a congres sional act making funds available for communities suddenly expanded by war workers. The proposal met some resistance in its early period of development, but, largely through the enthusiastic direction given by Mrs. Peterson, any opposition from informed people has been replaced by whole-hearted cooperation. The city now has a well-organized park and play ground commission. A good start has been obtained toward a civic center and swimming pool through public contributions, which, regrettably, have not been main tained throughout the past year to the extent warranted by the worth of the project Places vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Peterson will be filled by capable and experienced people. Activities in which they have participated probably will not be af fected. But departure of two enthusiastically civic minded persons, who have made such outstanding contri butions to community life is, indeed, a distinct loss, even though their successors may carry on with equal or, greater efficiency. A Good Place for a Good Venture A proposal has been submitted to the Veterans Admin istration that groups of disabled veterans be formed into cooperative poultry producers. The plan would be to take over abandoned army training camps, transform barracks into chicken ' houses, utilize officers' quarters as domi- cilififry-faciliiies for personnel, etc. Products would be marketed cooperatively and profits shared. Annual in come of participating veterans was estimated at $4,000 each. Here, we believe, is a project deserving of serious consideration. One of the chief drawbacks is that the locality best adapted to' poultry production has no aban doned army camps. Of course, we refer to the Umpqua Valley. Because of our mild climate we have, as is proven by statistics, a longer poultry production season than can be found elsewhere on the Pacific coast. We have here every requirement to make this project a success a superior climate for production, an ideal place in which to, live, a community of fine people, who arc intensely sympathetic with the veteran and his problems. Our suggestion would be that if the success of this project is to be definitely assured, it should be set up originally in the Umpqua Valley, even to the extent of moving in abandoned barracks, or, bettor yet, building properly designed and thoroughly modern poultry plants. v and loggod-off lands in the last three years, has had more than one setback. The loss of more than half of 1.500.000 trees planted In the Tillamook burn to the nrowsing oi as yet unidenti fied wild animals Is hut one Illus tration. Plantings in Douglas County were largely lost to an Infestation of goats. In l.anc County, fire destroyed consider able part of the young growth. But in toos i ount.v. wnere a nan million Infant trees have been set out, the results are definitely good. This method of attempted re forestation was accomplished by drawing upon conscientious ob jector centers for labor. These camps have now been closed, and the land grant administration has no funds to carrv on the work, though It has l.&m.OtiO available trees In Its nutnerv at MrKtnley In Coos County. The trees must be set out in the winter months when the ground Is moist. The work. If and when It ran problem presented in the Tilla mook burn.

H.-Mi An explicit directive of the Ger man Navy forbidding any at tempts to rescue or aid survivors of torpedoed shins was read Into the record of the International War Crimes Tribunal today in the prosecution of Grand Ad miral Karl Hoenttx. "No attempt of any kind must be made at rescuing members of shins sunk, and this included picking up persons in the water and putting them in lifeboats, righting capsled lifeboats, and handing over food and water," read the order Issued to all sub marine commanders under lxe nite' command on September 17, l:42 "Rescue runs Sumter to the rudimentary demands of warfare for the destruction of enemy ships and crews." Earlier, evidence was Intro duced which disclosed that Adolf Hitler.

British prosecutors prodmvd also a sreret wireless message to one l'-hoat commander who re ported giving alii lo women and children who survived a sinking.

Affairs Depleted in Career of Wm, Allen White A MAN FROM KANSAS By Charles A. Brand. The book just published entitled "A Man From Kansas," (Put nam) Is the fascinating life story of William Allen White, all of his active life the editor of a small town daily newspaper, the "Emporia Gazette," which, believe It or not, became one of the most quoted and one of the most influential newspapers in the United States! It became that because of what William Allen White was, what he be lieved and what he wrote. The author of this life story Is HaviH Hinshaw.. nnp nf Mr White's close friends for almost fifty years from his youthful days when he acted as Quaker Valley correspondent of the Ga zette, receiving as compensation the paper, which was what he wanted, out no money: It is the marvelous story of a simple, earnest, outspoken, west ern small town editor, who liked ordinary folks and understood them; a real neighbor, who loofc ed for the best In men and helped to find it; loyal to the day of his, death to his own home town, his state and his nation, and a man' of the highest Ideals. Rose to Leadership And because of alt thee things he became a national figure, and a real leader of the people. But for all that he remained hU own self. He didn't get snootv and move awav Irom trie small Kan sas town to some great eastern city though he had many a chance to do It. tmpona was nis home and his place. He belonged there, he knew, In spite of the fact that he was called to Wash ington many times, and even to Europe, and was friend and ad visor to more than one President of the United States. The whole storv reveals the vi tally important place of the small town newspaper in this country of ours. It isn't the size of the ( town or city tha counts, but the size of the tnaij. v i ; : ; i : j Brevity of Style Cited One of the things that enabled William Allen White to put his convictions over to the public was his technique which some peo ple called the absence of techni que. He was brief and to the rioint. He never used half a page f he could put his thought into one paragraph. He never tried to sound scholarly or use "hlgh faluten" phrases. He never used three words when one would do, and he had a rare sense of hu mor. His "Gamte Style Book" is a Joy. For example, In his long list of "Don'ts" he says don't say "at the present time." Say "now. ' Don't sav "in the near future." Say "soon," etc., etc. His simpli city and his devotion to his Ideal of a strong Christian nation with justice for all .made him one of the great leaders of political thought among the people of the United States, After reading this great life story and it Is the life story, too, of -a small town newspaper we reallre as never before the im portance of the country newspa per In shaping the future of the nation and the boundless oppor tunity of an editor who speaks the language of the peoole, and has the vision of the statesman.

That was the attitude of Gamma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, national honor society for women educators, when it met In Cottage Grove recently, to discuss "The Teacher and Her Public.' The national organization is asking all of Its chapters to write to Vogue, to urge its editors to devote an Issue or a section to current fashions for teachers. Mrs. Lula C. Gorrcll. superintend ent of Douglas County Schools, was named to compose bamma Chapter's letter. "One of the aims of the organi zation," Mrs. Gorrcll said, "is to make teaching an attractive pro fession. A strong effort Is being made to recruit voung people of outstanding ability to the teach ing ranKs. "This isn't a selfish organiza tion to the people who are in it," Mrs. Gorrell added. "Our general objective is to raise teaching standards and to increase pro fessionalism among teacners. Some have been barely able to exist on the salaries they have received. "We want social standards raised, and equality of recogni tion and pay lor women teacners. Men teacners can step into any position and get more than the best women teachers." Gamma Chapter's membership covers Lane and Douglas Coun ties. Those from Roseburg who attended the Cottage Grove meet ing included: Mrs. Alvia Wether ell, Mrs. Margaret Adair, Miss Vera Frederickson, Miss Verna Carothers, and Miss Ina Farns- worth. Guest speaner was mrs. Victor P. Morris. Attention of the meeting was called to a colored nhotoeranh In Cosmopolitan of the "typical teacher" and to an article in Ladles Home Journal entitled, "look Pretty, Teacher!" Forest Protection Program Changes Asked by Counties SALEM. Jari 15. (V Revis ion of the administration of for est protection in Oregon, classi fication oi ioresi Minus uy counties, and state acquisition of forest lands where esiaDiisnmem ; of tree farms is not feasible, are j included in a series of resolutions 1 received by the state forestry de- j partment here Monday from thei Oregon Counties Association. Particular opposition was voiced against the present method of appointment to the State Board; of Forestry through recommen dations of various organizations. This was said to result In con- fusion in carrying out the state j foresty 'program. The associa-! tion urged that these appoint-! ments be made by the state board of control from the public at. large. Split Authority Blamed Fire losses the past summer: were charged to divided author ity and it was recommended that all fire protection, fire suppres-i slon and supervision of proper, forest Dractices upon state, county and private lands be centralized In one agency, preicraoiy me state forestry board. Reduction in stock on the na tional forests also was protested. I "The association protests against any further reductions except In cases where such reductions are: in conformity with the facts as to the carrying capacity of the particular locality," another reso lution read.
