which are wide. (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. Coffee
will be furnished r-' the ladies of
the CalaDOoia Club. The picnic
luncheon will be served at 1
odock. At 2 o'clock, contests, In
cluding races, will be sponsored
for all age groups. A nail driving
contest will be followed by a tug
of war. Horseshoe Ditching wiil
be held and water sport3 will be
enjoyed.

Catholic Order to
Develop Donated
Tract on M'Kenzie
Fr. Wm. 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.
In the time of Queen Elizabeth,
the English were required by law
to eat fish on 155 days of the
year.
Geologists estimate that 1,500,
000 square miles in the United
States are potential oil territory.
