THIS thought Is emphasized by herbert Hoover, In an address to (he assembled food experts. In which he says: "It should be the purpose to re turn to normal commerce the food, fertilizer and farm supply business of the world with all possible speed." He adds: "Moreover, the world must quit charity as a basis of widespread food distribution.' I can not too strongly emphasize that charit able distribution is HUGELY wasteful and Inefficient.'! IT Is the old, old question of OTHER PEOPLE'S money. We're never as careful with It as ive arc of our own. CITY MANAGER APPROVED HE food situation throughout the world Is bad. But It is this T urtter's hopeful thought that 11 Isnt' quite as bad as It seems. Black markets, which are flourishing In ALL countries, our own included, upset the picture badly because, being illegal and secret, they do not enter Into. the figures. That is to say, there is really more food in the world than the figures Bhow. SPEAKING of world wide disor der, out of which the bulk of our pressing troubles is arising, General Marshall, who is Amer ica's peace envoy ot China, sharp ly criticises both factions there for their part In the Chinese civil war (which is delaying China's return to normal). Both the communist and the government forces, he says, are waging tremendous propaganda campaigns, which, he adds, "arc Inflaming feelings and increas ing the possibility of some hot heads precipitating a general con flagration." lie concludes: "This reckless propaganda ol hale and suspicion seriously ag gravates the present situation and can lead to results which will be disastrous to the people of China." . . WHY this propaganda ol hate and suspicion? The answer Is fairly easy to ar rive at. Factions In China are struggling for power. The com mon run of people, there as else where, probably want peace and orderly production more than they want anything else on earth. All over the world, the troubles of common, ordinary people arc aggravated by the struggles ot ambitious ' (and often unscrupu lous) individuals and factions who are seeking power for them selves with little or no regard for the welfare of the greater number ot people. . . It is a pity. ' T HE result of Ihesc struggles for points out in China) is the sow ing of hate and suspicion. Hate and suspicion HOLD BACK PIIOGRESS toward a bel ter world. If you will study the subject carefully, you will find that almost invariably better conditions for the general run of people (more to eat, more to wear, fewer hours of pure drudgery) ' are promoted by co operation and understanding rather than" by hatred and sus picion. When people come to under stand thls''fact more .' fully,-we Bhall have1 a MUCH better world' to live in. 1 :" By CHARLES V, STANTON , : A special committee, named jointly by the Roseburg city council and Chamber of Commerce to inquire into feasibility of changing Roseburg's municipal government to a city manager- form, has discharged its duties. It has reported to Mayor Charles W. Wharton, in the form of a resolution, that it finds the plan feasible and recommends immediate steps to submit necessary amendments of the city charter to the city's voters. The committee points out that the city manager form of government has numerous advantages in that it coordinates the work of departments and employees under an executive of proven ability, reduces administrative costs, relieves elected officials of administrative details, thus permitting opportunity for better functioning in planning and policy forming activities. The committee points optimistically to Roseburg's future industrial and business expansion and population growth, apd declares the experience of the past five years, coupled with evidence of new and greater problems in the future, indicates need for a professionally trained and experienced! executive. We know personally that members of this committee were not stiimpeded into their decision. They were not "pres sured" by any proponent groups or individuals. No member of the committee went into the study with definite or fixed opinions. Some had a previous belief that a city manager form of government might be advisable, while others were inclined to the contrary view, but none was prejudiced. AH were definitely open minded. We have had personal knowl edge of the careful work performed by this committee. We know that exhaustive studies were made, a vast amount of material collected. Letters were sent to leading citizens in Oregon cities where city managers are employed to deter mine whether improved conditions resulted from the change in governmental form. The committee had excellent response to its letters, 're ceiving communications from prominent business men, edi tors, and others. Opinions were unanimous that city manager government is more efficient than the city council form. But the committee did not base its decision entirely upon opinions. It made, through visitation and inquiry, studies of various towns served by city managers and obtained first hand information. It gathered a number of city charters. A very exhaustive and complete study went into the brief but positive resolution submitted to the council. The men composing the committee Walter Fisher, chair man; II. V. Sullivan and R. II. Savage, representing the city council; Kenneth Ford, Ear) Wiley and Attorney A. N. Qrcutt, representing the Chamber of Commerce are de serving of appreciation and commendation for the time and effort devoted to the study. Their work involved consid erable sacrifice of time and money, but we know all will be well pleased )f their work proves, as it should, a contribution to civic welfare. The city council has been given a definite and unanimous report by en officially designated committee. The report rec ommends immediate steps to authorize and finance the change. The council should lose no time in determining the method to be followed either through amendment of the present churtcr, of submission of an entirely new charter in presenting the proposed new form of municipal govern ment to the voters: ' Washington Hews From an Inside View Argument, Sentiment, Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, hourrn Oregon District OPA Letters The Senate still has the OPA bill under consideration. There is no Indication In the discussions I hear as to what course the Senate may take when It brings the bill up on the floor for final passage. Shortly after the House com pleted Its consideration of the bill, members of Congress, es pecially the Senators, received a large volume of mail from con stituents urging the continuation of OPA without any change. This barrage of letters was largely in spired by the efforts of Chester Howies, Paul Porter and three or four radio commentators with speeches that were made on the radio, urging people to write Sena tors and Representatives in sup port of orA. I left Washington lor the Easter recess about the time the appeal for letters favoring OPA began, and arrived back in Washington just before Pulton Lewis, Jr., be gan making his radio appeal for letters to Congress expression the other viewpoint regarding OPA. Accumulated on my desk, there fore, was what I considered the complete results of the adminis tration campaign. I found '!) let ters support OPA as requested by the administration propagandists, and 33 letters cxpiesslne definite objection to continuing OPA, most of them urging that it be wled out entirely. Letters on both sides of the question were individual letters, most or them naim-writ-trn, and obviously exinessinc the sinrere opinions of the writers. men, tne Hilton L.eyis moan- rasls began. Letters favorable to OPA ceased almost entirely, and the accumulated score now stands at 38 letters favorable to OPA and 1!M5 letters definitely opposed to continuing it. Reconversion Hard Hit The harm to our reconversion program caused by the electrical workers strike, the (Jeneral Motors strike, the steel strike and the coal strike has hoen;so. great as to he almost 'Inestimable, i By nailing , production. , (hey Miave caused some inflation and the danger . el a vastly Greater and more destructive inflation. There is now being debated in the Senate legislation which, if enacted, might bo very helpful toward settling labor disputes. I hope such legislation can be en acted. Accounting For Payments Asked The housing bill, or in other words, the bill creating the of fice ot housing expediter, and giving that expediter complete power, has been described before In one of my letters. I considered the bill objectionable when it passed the House, even alter the House had rejected, by an over whelming vote, the administra tion desire for an authorization to spend $00.0()O.0O0 in subsidies, or what they called "premium pay ments". The Senate passed the bill substantially the same as ap proved by the House, but added the subsidy feature. Under terrific administration pressure, the House then reversed itself and ap proved $-100,000,000 for premium payments. 1 Ins vast sum of money Is a blank check placed in the hands ot the housing expediter, mid the law requires no accounting to the people, showing how the money was spent. I have introduced a resolution which would require the expediter to make reports periodically to congress, stating to whom the money was paid, how much was paid, and the pur pose for which payment was maiie. I do not suppose tills resolution will ever be. reported out of the administration-con trolled commiltee, but I do not believe it Is sound, government policy to authorize the spending Lynam.; Katonen ; To Bp Headliners On Next Mat Bill Joe-Lynam, fresh from, last week's sparkling victory over Jack Kiser at the Roseburg Arm ory, will move, into the main event spot of Matchmaker Don Owen's weekly . wrestling card Saturday night. . The popular Oregonian will tangle with rough and tough Paavo Katonen, the rugged Finn who is still burning after losing his Pacific Coast light heavy weight title to Al Szasz a couple of weeks ago in Portland. Kato nen, who could probably make his way very nicely by straight wrestling, has been relying more and more heavily on We roueh stuff In recent matches and he is expected to rate as an even- up cnoice against Lynam. Both erapplers are highly ef fective and decisive action is as sured. It is unlikely, however, that Lynam and Katonen will put on a battle such as the slam-bang battle staged by Bruno Angelo and Georges Dusette last week. To support tne outstanding main event, Owen nas lined up an equally outstanding preliminary oout. waiter Acniu, rne veieran Chinese jiu-jitsu expert, will tan gle with Bob Kenaston, the Cold Hill badman who served the Ma rine Corps as a sergeant. Johnson Sayes Another Game for . Boston Red Sox (By the Associated Press) Earl Johnson rates as Joe Cron in's relief ace with three straight "fireman" decisions for the soar ing Boston Red Sox. Detroit found out about John son yesterday when once again he came in to save a game that Dobson almost losti hurling five hitlcss innings and driving home the winning runs of a 6-4 triumph. The Sox' first place margin was increased to six full games when the New York Yankees fell before Cleveland's Bobby Feller, 7-2. Rapid Robert, facing the Yanks for the first time since his no- hitter, yielded only five blows and ran his strikeout total to 93 in 80 innings by fanning eight men. In the only other scheduled tilt In the American, Kramer hurled the St. Louis Browns into sole possession of fifth place on a 4-3 edge over Philadelphia. . The Phillies knocked over the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, dumping the Red Birds into an exact first place tie with the Brooklyn Dod gers who were rained out oi meir &ame with Cincinnati after play lg one inning. Oakland Rises to Top Spot in Coast' League Standings (By the Associated Press) After tagging along all season a few paces behind the San Fran cisco Seals, the Oakland Acorns today for the first time clutched the Pacific Coast Baseball League lead by half a game. While the Seals were idle by rain, Shea, former New York Yankee making his debut for the Acorns, pitched them Into the league's top spot on a 6 3 deci sion last night over the Portland Beavers. It was the Oaks' eighth straight victory. Although the Beavers collected 11 safeties to Oakland's six and chased Shea, who was replaced by Ardlboia, the Acorns timed their bingles, opening with - a three-run attack in the first In ning and adding two in the sec ond. Portland's relief pitcher Mos sor, struck out 11 and yielded only two hits from the third through the eighth frame. The Seals and San Diego Padres scheduled a doublehearier Friday to make up the rained-out' en gagement. Hollies Blank Angels Hollywood drove the Los An geles Angels, who enjoyed a mo mentary perch Rtop the league for the first timo last week, to a third place berth - three and a half games behind Oakland by shut ting out the Angels, 8 to 0. Resclgno held the Angels to five hits and whiffed nine bat- of $100,000,000 of public funds without requiring an accounting. I shall, therefore, do everything I possible can to have my resolu tion passed.
