STANTON Editor William M. Tugman recently published in the Eugene Register-Guard an editorial which we believe' de serves widest possible reading, as it applies to our serious concern of atomic energy control. Consequently we devote this column today to a reprint of the Register-Guard's editorial. common, ordinary run of Chinese people (who will do the lighting and the dying and the starving) want peace more than they want anything else. Disturbing question: II, under these circumstances, peace can't be achieved In China, how Is peace to be achieved throughout the rest of the world? THE shortsighted will say: "What do we care. If the Chi nese are hell-bent for war, why not let 'cm fight It out?" Presumably, we will let them fight It out. But when fire Is loose anywhere In the woods nobody who lives In the woods Is safe. That Is why we carp. f IF civil war In China were merely a question of letting the Chinese factions fight it out, we might quarantine them and let them go to it. The disturbing factor in the situation is what will Russia do if and when the Chinese communists begin to get the worst of It?) C PEAKING of Russia, the Port ' . lunrt (Maine) YMCA writes to president Truman that exchange visits of Russian anu American officials und educators would im prove mutual understanding be tween both nations, and ought to he encouraged. The President replies: "We have been unable to get cither newspaper publishers or professors from this country any travel rights anywhere In Russia. Even the members of our em bassy staff are not allowed to go anywhere In Russia without being accompanied. "Wo have had Russian newspa permen and Russian professors and a great many other people of that nature over here, and have entertained them royally, but we never get a return en gagement. "We can't very well Invade the country unless they want us to." IIOW can you get acquainted H with a neighbor who won t lnt vntl Into his house and won't permit your children to play In Ills yard:.. ABOUT the only reasonable con clusion is that the wirld is approaching division into two rival systems of economics and government Russian domin ated communism and free enter- nrlse. The problem is "to find a way for these systems to get along to gether In PEACEFUL rivalry In stead of fighting it out in shoot Ing war. That Is a problem that chal lenges the best minds we have. The presence of livestock aboard the target ships in the Bikini atom-bomb test suggests that mankind may have come a full circle since the legendary milestone of history described by Charles Lamb in his "Dissertation on Roast Pig." Lamb's story has been required reading for students for so long that it probably is unnecessary to recall more than a title. But just in case some reader had the mumps at the time the English literature class was studying the story, a brief refresher may be permissible, along with apologies for errors due to rusty memory. In a far-off time in China, according to Lamb, the people kept the pig in the parlor (a practice later to be mistakenly credited to the Irish). One day a house caught fire and everything, including the pig, was destroyed. A son of the family took hold of the charred carcass, burned his fingers, popped them into his mouth to cool them, arid was rewarded by a new and exceedingly pleasant faste. As we remember it, the news of his discovery got around. There ensued quite a vogue for setting fire to the family dwelling in order to enjoy the new delicacy. It was quite a time before some inventive fellow discovered that it was pos sible to prepare roast pig without the drastic necessity of burning oneself out of house and home. Someday we shall probably be serving atomically roasted pig for Sunday dinnerif all goes well. We have been as sured that it is at least theoretically possible for the cleaving atom to cook our meals and wash the dishes, besides provid ing energy for a multitude of other tasks. But we are going about the task of accomplishing all this much in the manner of Lamb's ancient Chinese. A little less than a year ago we destroyed a good many houses and, presumably a good many pigs by atomic fission in two Japanese cities. Now we have tried out an atomic bomb (in several million dollars' worth of warships in order to finct out, among other things, just how successful atomic energy is at roasting pigs. sThat admittedly wasn't the primary consideration of the test. But one might make out a pretty valid case in support of the contention that it should have been. For surely no one in his right mind wants to use the harnessed atom for any thing but peaceful and helpful tasks. We may chuckle at Lamb's sharp satire without believing thut the Stupid bungling of his primitive Chinese really had much connection with enlightened modern man. But see what enlightened modern man is up to right now. Representatives of his leading enlightened governments are desperately try ing to devise a system to keep themselves and each other from using a wonderful appalling new discovery in a way that no one wants it used. Tho only difference is that man must find a way to keep from destroying not just his family dwelling, but any or all of the cities he has built upon the earth, before he can safely use this now method of preparing pig for the table. Softballers Will Vie In Revised Schedule A revised schedule, upon the wttnarawai Dy assui-iuil-u .--i-vice. from the City Softball League, brings the Rainbow Oril lcrs up against the Elks and the Veterans vying with Suthcrlin. ' The Associated Oilers made their withdrawal last Friday night upon dropping their seventh consecutive game to the Suth erUn club. The Elks and Suthcrlin are tied ' for second spot in the league, which gives their respective op- ' ponents for this evening a good chance of putting the league In a three-way tie for second shelf position. Game time is 7:30 P. M. at Finlay Field. Zale III. BatHe With Graziano 1$ Postponed NEW YORK, July 23. l&) The middleweight title bout be tween Chamoion Tony Zale ol Gary, Ind., and Challenger Rocky Graziano of New York, scheduled for Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, was postponed todav be - cause Zale had an attack of Neu ritis. A new date was expected to be set this afternoon. Diamond Career Begun by Sporer At Age of Seven Bus Sporer, the Umpqua Chiefs stalwart pitcher, has a back ground of experience probably more colorful than a major leaguer who came up the hard way, although Sporer"s major league career is yet but a dream. Like his idols, he has lived base ball since a youngster at Days Creek; followed it up until the war years and what little he could in a Jap prison camp, and now returned. Is still pursuing the game. Upon successful completion of rebuilding a radio from pilfered parts while a prisoner of war in China, Sporer related that the first thing he and his colleagues received were the World Series scores. Bus, reputed as the strongest hurler in the Southern Oregon Leaugue and holder of the envi able record of 61 strikeouts in eight games this season, began his diamond career at the age of seven, becoming a regular mem ber of the Days Creek High School nine before finishing grammar school. He put the Roseburg Junior Legionners in the state playoffs to win second place while in his teens and was grabbed by Port land scouts to pitch the Portland Beavers batting sessions in 1937. In 1938 he returned to Douglas County to take over the mound with the Glendale Loggers, then a member of the Southern Ore gon League, and the next year he was on the starting lineup with the Roseburg Beth Grillers to put them through the summer season undefeated. Captured by Japs In April of 1941, Sporer . ac quired the urge to travel and earn some money and signed up with the Morrison-Knutson Construc tion Company at Boise, Idaho, to work at Wake Island in the Pa cific. Seven months after his arrival at the new place of em- Jloyment, he was captured by the apanese and his baseball ambi tions took a three-year-ten-month lapse. Tho 25-ycar-old 6-foot, 195 pounder was liberated at Yoko hama September 6, 1945, in fairly good condition as compared to fellow prisoners, but he did go down to 135 in weight and had a toucn oi malaria. Upon his ar rival in Roseburg, his earlier am bitlons toward Dlavlne the na tional sport were revived in tho form or a homecomins. Prac tically all of the Umpqua Chiefs were formerly members of Bcth's Grill nine back in 1939. As well as the hardest Ditcher to hit in the Southern Oregon ieague, oporer, nar Dcen re marked unon hv onDonents a, ho Ing very dcmoralizine to them with his exceptionally controlled speedball curve and change of pace.

Reedsport Liquor Sales Return to Normal Hours REEDSPORT A return to normal sales hours was ordered recently for all stores of the Ore gon State Liquor Control Com mission, after the Reedsport Chamber of Commerce had com plained about the unsightly line of prespective liquor buyers who waited for the Reedsport store to open for its two afternoon sales periods.

Jackson Phone 320 Springfield Plant Now Required For Making Alcohol WASHINGTON, July 23--!P) -The large government construc- ed plant to manufacture ethyl alcohol from sawdust nearing completion at Springfield, Ore., started at a war project, now is considered an important peace time need because of the shortage ot grain and molassec from which to produce alcohol. Representative Harris Ells worth of Oregon said in a state ment that tne plant, the iirst of its kind in this country, repre sented a lone stride toward greater utilization of food waste and would fiil an urgent demand. "Vast qutintities ot alcohol are needed for rubber production and other war uevciopea peacetime uses," Ellsworth said. "Such alcohol has been produced either Irom grain or molasses. Grain Is needed by the hungry people of the world and molasses must be used for making sugar. Mean while, nine large industrial alco hol plants have been closed due to the lack of molasses imports. The amount of grain going into alcohol has been sharply cur tailed." Ellsworth said the Civilian Pro duction Administration hud noted the declining production of alco hol and said it was surveying the possibility of granting assistance for construction of new plants for E reduction of synthetic methanol, utyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol from sawdust and paper mill waste.
