(Officially, we are still In a stato of war.) Any way you look at It, how ever. It Is a mess. THE house acts with suspicious speed In sustaining the Tru man veto. About tho only reason able explanation of its actio,, is that by doing so it throws the mess back into his lap. That is certainly where it rests at the moment. IN vetoing the bill, President Truman calls it a "sure formu la for inflation." He says: "It would start prices and costs climbing. It would start the value of the dollar falling and keep it falling." . Commenting on the veto, Re publican Senator Taft says: "The President's action Is the most inflationary move which could be made . . . This takes the lid off,. . . The administration al ready, by the encouragement of ivago increases and other costs, lias brought about a series of price increases ... All the (vetoed) bill does Is to force the administration to recognize In creased casts in .fixing prices" On both sides, you see, the pot merely calls the kettle black. IT looks very much as this Is written as if Truman has been maneuvered into a tight corner. Even if he gets an extension of OPA before the deadline tomor row night, cither by joint resolu tion of congress or by use of his war powers, he will still be on the spot. Ho can lead congress back lo the price control trough and or der it to drink. But will it? Both houses of congress', In the face of all the pressure the administra tion could bring to bear, have al ready defied Ills wishes as to OPA legislation. Suppose they go to work on It again and bring In a bill substan tially the same as the one vetoed Saturday. Where will the Presi dent be then? So far as may be Judged by what can be seen at this distance, he will be right back In the same hole. THE President says the vetoed bill Is contradictory legislation which would be impossible to ad minister. Well, OPA hasn't been any picnic to administer and the administration of it has been far from good. The hard, cold truth is that only production heavy enough to result in real competition can cure the ills that are plaguing us. If we can muddle along some how until production finally catches up- with demand our troubles will begin to iron them reives out. ' If we get out of the woods, It will be the natural genius of the American people for production, rather than anything Washing: ton has done, that will save us. . ABOUT the only conclusion that stands out clearly Is that our post war leadership in Washing ton has been stumbling, Ineffi cient and timid. YOUR OWN ATOMIC BOMB How Much lor tho Bun? DENVER, July 2. (JP) A couple ordered hamhurgers at a restaurant after noting that the previous price of 30 cents had been crossed out and 35 cents pencilled in. As they were finishing their hamburgers a waitress hurried over and began altering their cheek- "The boss told me to change it to 40 cents you Just got caught in the middle of a change," she explained. By CHARLES V. STANTON Eyes and ears are turned this week to Bikini atoll where elaborate tests are being- made of mankind's most destruc tive weapon of war. We shudder as we think of the atomic bomb's terrible power. We are frightened by the unknown elements released by atomic fission and the potential threat to the world and its population as contained in the bomb. But the danger of death and destruction from this newest of weapons is far more remote than that contained in an element with which man is most familiar an clement that has contributed greatly to the advance of civilization, yet is one of our most destructive agencies. That element is FIRE. Do you have a match handy? Take it out and look at it. Now, recall, if you will, two pictures which appeared in your newspapers only a few months ago. One of those pic tures showed the Japanese city of Hiroshima in ruins from the effects of atomic bombing. The other portrayed the deso lation in the wake of the Tillamook forest fire. The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan killed 70,000 people, yet here in the United States an average of 10,000 people lose their lives annually in fires. We have heard no estimates on property losses connected with atomic bombing, although in Hiroshima the blast lev elled almost every structure within an area of four square miles. We doubt, however, if the property loss even ap proached the average annual fire damage of $500 million in the United States, which sum does not include forest fire losses. We were horror stricken by thoughts of the thousands upon thousands of homes destroyed in Nagasaki and Hiro shima, and the 200,000 persons left homeless. Yet the Tilla mook forest fire destroyed enough timber to have rebuilt both those cities several times over. If a statistician started using his pencil to compile comparisons, we imagine he would find that enough potential lumber to rebuild most of the war-ruined structures of the world went up in smoke during the Tillamook blaze. That tiny match you hold in your hand contains as much potential danger to life and property as the atomic bombs being dropped on Bikini. The test of our atomic bombs is being conducted with the utmost attention to every safe guard. No expense has been spared in providing for the safety of personnel participating in the test. Yet we flip matches and cigaret butts carelessly into dry material, giving no thought to the destructiveness stored in the tiny embers we negligently discard. The Fourth of July period is upon us. During the latter part of the week we will be flocking into the woods for short vacations. We will be carrying matches possibly fireworks. One of those matches, or a firecracker, carelessly used, can result in as much or more destruction than an atomic bomb dropped on the same area. A man-caused forest fire during the Fourth of July holidays could even result in loss of h'umun life, because of the crowded condition of our forests.' it is not necessary to hold scientific tests to determine the destructive power of a match. We have had demonstrations recently in the terrible hotel tragedies which have occurred in several of our large cities. We have only to look upon our extensive forest burns; to recall the Bandon fire of 10:5(5. Yes, you have your own atomic bomb. It is that little match you hold in your hand.

Brooklyn Keeps Up Winning Streak Against Phillies J' (By the Associated Press) The Philadelphia Phillies' surge out of the National League cellar ana ineir tnreatenea movement into the first division has gained popular appeal throughout the nation. But to the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers they look like the Phillies of old. Winners of 20 out of their last 29 decisions, the Phils came into Brooklyn riding a bandwagon that included practically every body with the notable exception of Leo Durocher and his battling crew. Tho Bums lost no time in casting their dissenting votes. In the first inning at Ebbets Field last night the Dodgers ended whatever dreams Manager Bon Chapman's aggregation had of gaining their first triumph of the year over the Brooks by blast ing Lopatka and Hughes for six runs. Brooklyn continued its blitz with three markers in the second and two'more in the fifth to pile up an 11-2 lead and allow Behr man to coast to an 11-6 victory. The win was the Dodgers' sixth straight, their ninth in a row over the Phils, and it stretched their first place margin over the St. Louis Cardinals to six-and-one-half-games as the Red Birds bowed, 5-4 to the Cincinnati Reds in 13 innings. Both Chicago Teams Blanked Sewell made it two shutout vic tories in succession for the Pirates by blanking the Chicago Cubs, 1-0, on four hits. At Detroit, Trucks of the Tigers whitewashed the Chicago White Sox, 2-0, to post his ninth con quest of the year. Joe Berry, purchased yesterday by the Cleveland Indians from the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League, celebrated the occasion by gaining credit for Cleveland's 6-4 triumph over the St. Louis Browns and batting in what proved to be the . winning run. The 38-year-old righthander, who last season twirled for the Philadelphia Athletics, entered the game in the sixth inning with the score deadlocked at 4-4 and Laabs on third with one out. Berry retired the side and in the bottom half of the stanza, he singled home Mackewicz with the tie-breaking counter. The New York Yankees downed the Giants, 3-0, in an exhibition game at the Polo Grounds. The Boston Red Stfc.I3oston Braves; Philadelphia Athletics and Wash- '"k1"" 7jti-, "-'.'-ysj attending are asked to bring bas ket lunches and table services for their own families.

Coughlan, of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, spent Sunday at McKenzie - Bridge, where an 80-acre woodland tract together with several buildings on the banks of the McKenzie River was dedicated by the Capuchin Franciscan Fathers, to which the property was deeded by Kenyon L. Reynolds, Pasadena, Calif. The property, located 50 miles east of Eugene, is to be developed as an educational and religious center. As soon as practicable, a monastery will be erected. The donor, Mr. Reynolds, whose wife died in June of last year, is a convert to the Catholic church. His elder brother, now deceased, was also a convert and well known classical scholar at Yale University. Following his conver sion, he became a priest and taught classics at the Catholic University of America, Washing ton, D. C. Mr. Reynolds, follow ing the pattern set by his brother, now is studying for the priesthood under the Benedictine Fathers in the diocesan seminary at New Westminster, B. C. Desiring that the beautiful Mc Kenzie Bridge property be de voted to religious purposes, Mr. Reynolds expressed the desire that Mass be offered daily in the beauty spot at the foot of the Cas cades and the Capuchin Fathers will perpetuate the practice. The order of Capuchin Francis can Fathers has served in Oregon for 36 years, at Bend, Hermiston and Roseburg. Fr. Isadore Kennedy, who has been appointed Superior at the newly acqired property, served as an assistant in the Roseburg par ish for considerable time, leaving here about three years ago. Tuesdays at the Elks Lodge be ginning tonight, he added. The Norwegian king. Magnus the Good, selected 12 soldiers with the softest hands to care for men wounded in battle.
