DUCTIVE spending. Extrava
gance in government is non-pro
ductive spending.
THE federal reserve bank of
I New York says in a state
ment that the much-publicised
goal of 60 million jobs in America
is being rapidly approached, and
adds that an actual labor short
age is a possibility by fail.
We scoffed at the idea of 60
million jobs when It was first
mentioned. It seemed VISION
ARY. Our sights at that time just
weren't set high enough. We're
beginning to get a glimpse of the
basic fac that there are prac
tically no limits to what wc can
accomplish In the way of produc
tion and employment if only we
can make enough things CHEAP
ENOUGH to enable people to buy
and use them in great quantities.
There is practically no limit to
what people will consume if they
can afford it.
AS usual, there are two versions
of the battle the other day be
tween American Marines and
Chinese.
Our Marines, who are usually
pretty reliable, say thoy were
AMBUSHED while on a regular
patrol of the Tlcntsln-Peiplng
highway which we have to use
to bring In supplies to our execu
tive headquarters In Pelping.
In a broadcast over the Ycnan
radio, the Communist New China
News Agency asserts that "more
than" 60 Marines and some 80
Nationalist government troops de
liberately ATTACKED a village
In Communist China, compelling
Communist soldiers to defend
themselves.
THIS broadcast sounds like Com.
munist propaganda designed
to get us Into trouble with Rus
sia. But It does raise this ques
tion: "Have we ANY LONGER any
business keeping armed forces in
China?"
IS long as there was any hope
IX of bringing peace, it was an
other story for a peaceful China
could be a fine friend and a fine
customer. But if civil war In
China Is Inevitable, we'd better
get out and let the Chinese fac
tions fight it out to the finish.
The trouble is that we can be
lieve so little of what we hear
Xrom there.)
THE assistant to the attorney
general of the Untied States
says in Washington that the stat
ute of limitations bars legal
action against Contractor Ander
son and Representative Coffee in
the matter of the now-famous
S2500 check. .Coffee admits that
maybe a shade of questionable
ethics was Involved, but says that
neither he nor the contractor Was
"guilty of any crime."
What Is a crime, anyway? Isn't
It a crime when a LAW IS VIO
LATED? 1
THE trouble is that all the poli
ticians want to leuve every
possible door open for campaign
contributions, which provide the
raw material of politics -which
is getting re-elected. That Is the
real reason why the laws for
bidding such contributions arc so
frequently violated with no pro
secution following.

A MILD
By CHARLES
Our good friend Robert W.
Bulletin, administers to us a
It seems that in discussing
Ernest Haycox story, vhich
premiere in Portland, we suggested that the publicity agents,
flooding news rooms with premiere releases, should at least
mention the fact that much of the scenery to be seen in the
gorgeous technicolor production was photographed in the
Diamond Lake area of Douglas
Among other things we said, "We want the -world to know
that the glorious scenery of 'Canyon Passage' lies in Douglas
County." Inadvertently we failed to qualify that statement,
which might lead to the belief that the entire picture was
filmed in Douglas County.
Editor Sawyer points out that
There was considerable footage taken in the lava fields of the
McKenzie Pass summit. There was a river crossing scene on
the lower Metolius River, below Camp Sherman, and directors,
camera men and east were busy for a time In the Broken Top
crater. These locations brought Deschutes and Jefferson coun
ties and possibly (we're not entirely sure as to this) Lane
County into the picture. This was Ignored both In the publloity
and in the News-Review's erltlolsm.
that's what comes of ignoring. (No, we didn't say ignor
ance although well we might.) The publicity writers ig
nored us, and we, in turn, ignored ouf friendly neighbors
and thoughtlessly offended their feelings.
In order that we may make
the Bend Bulletin we quote further from Editor Sawyer's
comments :
We know, as does anyone familiar with Central Oregon, that
our own scenery len't so bad Iteelf. The shots taken at the foot
of many hued Broken Top, In the frozen, jagged lava of the Mc
Kenzie Pass and In the lovely wilderness of the Metolius will
be appreciated by theater goers as they have been by thou
sands who have seen them In actuality. Of coures, we hope that
cinema enthusiasts will not seek them in Douglas County. The
quest would be disappointing, not, we hasten to point out, be
cause of any lack of natural beauty, but because the very spe
cial displays of boauty sought simply wouldn't be there.
If Harold Hickerson, our Chamber of Commerce secre
tary, could see this as we write it, he would insist that we
insert a dirty little paragraph to the effect that Douglas
County can display scenic beauties surpassing anything to
be found anywhere. But that wouldn't be a nice thing to say,
and, besides, it probably would be contradicted and arouse
controversy, so we won't say it.
Anyway, Don Radabaugh, our theater manager, tells us
that "Canyon Passage" will be on an early bill and local
theater goers can compare scenic values for themselves.
Lest we incur ill will from our friends in Deschutes and
Jefferson counties, and possibly Lane, let us hasten to qual
ify our previous broad statement and frankly and freely
admit that these neighboring counties have SOME scenery.

Dairy Farmers Reminded
Of Payment Deadline
Dairy farmers who have not as
yet applied for thoir dairy pro
duction payment for the months
of April, May and June are re
minded that August 31 is the final
date for filing their application
with the county AAA committee.
The dairy payment program
ended on June 30 with the lapse
of OPA, but payments on milk
and butterfat sold during the sec
ond quarter were not affected.
Whether the program will be re
sumed under the new OPA act
will be decided by the OPA de
control biwd belore August io.
Limestone How
Ready for Douglas
County Farmers
Agricultural limestone is now
available to farmers of Douglas
Countv In any quantity desired.
Arrangements have been com
pleted bv the local Agricultural
Conservation office for deliveries
of limestone in bulk or bagged
in 100-pound paper bags. Bulk
deliveries can be made direct to
the farm and spread on the fields
if farmers desire this service,
states John H. Ferguson, chair
man of the county committee.
Cost of agricultural limestone
at railway stations from Glen
dale to Roseburg is $5.15 ton bulk
and $0.40 a ton bagged. For de
livery points from Sutherlin to
Drain, bulk limestone is $5.55 a
ton and bagged $6.80 a ton. Mini
mum cars of 50 tons are required
for all shipments. Farmers may,
however, pool orders through the
Agricultural Conservation office
for any delivery point to meet the
50-ton minimum requirement.
Hauling and spreading costs of
bulk limestone are based upon
distance from unloading point.
Under 10 miles, cost per ton
$2.75; 10-15 miles, $3.10 per ton,
and 15-20 miles, $3.55 per ton.
No arrangements have been made
for hauling bagged limestone
from unloading point to farms
as most farmers are able to
handle bagged limestone where
bulk limestone requires special
equipment for unloading and
hauling.
Farmers desiring agricultural
limstone are requested to place
orders Immediately for bulk lime
stone as trucks for delivering and
spread will not be available after
August 18 for summer deliveries.
Arrangements for deliveries In
October are beimr negotiated pro
viding sufficient orders are
placed for fall delivery.
Any farmer may purchase agri
cultural limestone and need not
be signed under the Agricultural
Conservation program.
LETTERS
lo the Editor
Safe and Sound Basis
For Government Said
Up to Labor Unions
I notice In vour naner that the
CIO rind some other labor organ
izations arc demanding another
raise in wages. Eight or nine
months ago the Truman "break
theline" raise occurred in the
steel industry, followed by similar
Increases in almost every lino or
work. Prices immediately re
sponded, and un to date we have
increases of $75 to $200 in trac
tors, $75 to $100 in cars, 20 per
cent Increase in food, and a pro
spective rise of 30 to 40 per cent
in clothing. If production is
analyzed the reason for these in
creases may be easily understood,
In production wages are paid out
belore the commodity, food or
article is sold or even made. Thus
wheat is planted harvested, mill
ed, and baked before the bread is
sold. Same with cars, washing
machines. When you raise gen
eral wages the accumulated costs
are put in the price tag. In a
country ot tree enterprise, it
the -rice does not pay the labor
costs and other Items, then the
producer quits business.
Neither OPA, congressional
legislation or anything else can
change this.
No doubt the unions have the
power to further raise their wage
payments. The government is
pro-labor; pretty well controlled
by the two big unions. It is up
lo the unions themselves whether
they want more monev or not.
For if they do, then prices will
rise again, Just as they followed
the "Truman break through."
Another responsibility of this
labor government and the labor
unions :s the- state of the cur
rency. When Roosevelt became
president there was but eight bil
lion dollars in currency, gold and
silver and paper money. Six years
ago there was twelve billion. On
January 1, 1946, there was over
27 billion in circulation outside
the banks. On July 1, lillti, a
month ago, there was 281 bil
lions, an increase of over a billion
of printing press money in the
last six months.
Real Inflation concerns the
supply of the medium of c
change, and when you have in
flation there Is more money than
there are goods.
As the working people suffer
more from inflation than any
other class, and as the working
people have the political power
In the IMiiled States, Just as in
New Zetland and Australia, It's
strictly atid distinctly un to the
labor unions, their political lead
ers to see that the United Slates
is run on a sate and sound basis.

Wonders, Questions
About Many Things ,
This Is nn age of wonderment.
We wonder why .lulv 20 was so
unparalleled for heal". 10!) degree
100 degrees, 'in this wonderful
climate. Then we wonder If man
made birds in the atmosphere,
of airplanes In the air above us,
produce such a condition.
We wonder why young girls
try to dress like rouuh boys
rather than make themselves at
tractive. We wonder why girls and wo
men want to wreck themselves
by smoking and then write anon
ymous letiers to anyone who
criticizes the habit.
But really the above Isn't why
I am lulling. The bi question u.
why such a "pile up" of sugar
ana me neea lor space for more
sugar and we cannot have what
our physical systemc need.
Is our government attempting
to punish those who do not sanc
tion the use of sugar for the
brewing of that which is injuri
ous to humanity? Even now there
are millions of pounds of sugar
in the way of the new crop stor
age and we the people need It.
If this is a "government of
the people, by the people, for the
people" why can't this matter be
righted?
If really there was a shortage
I would willingly share it, but
why should a government "of the
people, by the people, for the
people" not function? Why be
afraid tn express ourselves?

Catchy Headlines
Required to Tep'
Congress Record
By KATHLEEN STOKEY
WASHINGTON The other
day a Now Yerker wrote the
Government Printing Office sug
gesting that the Congressional
Record needed a face-lifting.
Why not pep up the Record's
appearance, he asked, using bold
face type for all headings and
other eye-catching innovations?
His proposal was politely, but
aecisiveiy, turned down. The
Record (averaging circulation
42,000 daily ) remains one of the
dullest-looking but liveliest pub
lications in official Washington.
The reason is obvious: Its list
of contributors ranges from the
President of the United States to
an amateur poet out in Conners
ville, Ind.
The President, members of
Congress and government offic
ials get the Record free but more
than 1,450 persons pay $1.50
monthl- for cash subscriptions.
What do they get for their
money? A complete recording of
the proceedings and debates" In
the House and Senate, as well as
articles on subjects as diversified
as those in an almanac.
Bilbo Most Vitrlolio
Each senator and representa
tive has the privilege of "extend
ing and revising" his remarks for
the Record. This means he may
lengthen, cut or correct what he
says on the floor. He also may
Insert aceompanving articles.
Most extensions appear in the
appendix, which comprises about
a third of the entire Record. Here
you will find speeches, editorials,
eulogies, newspaper and maga
zine articles, letters, essays, his
tory, jokes, recipes, tables (usually
Illustrating the evils or virtues
of OPA) and poems.
Most careful revisers are Ron
resentative Plumley (R., Va.),
and Representative Neely (D., W.
Va.). Most vitriolic insertions
are penned by Senator Bilbo (D.,
Miss.).
Typical is a letter sent by Bilbo
to "the most limicolous liar -and
notorious scandalous . . . radio
commentator of today." Bilbo
told him "You are like all rabble
rousing, strife-breeding Commu
nists. You are just a dirty scan
dalmonger . . ."
Senator Wiley (R., Wis.) de
scribed the merits of Wisconsin
cheese. Representative Coffee
(D., Wash.) included an account
of the Lewis and Clark expidi
tlon, Representative Doyle (D.,
Calif.), inserted a six-page "fac
tual report" addressed to voters
of his district and including a
list of his speeches and his voting
record.
Congress Well Satisfied
Each House has six steno-
graDhic reporters. Once the cony
is iranscnoeo, u is rusnea to tne
printing office, where two copy
preparers make corrections.
The author's manuscripts are
always followed closely. Onlv an
obvious error or a grammatical
slip is corrected. But more than
once a temperamental congress
man has threatened to have the
printing staff fired for misplac
ing a comma.
On the whole Congress is well
satisfied with its 102-year-old
"newspaper." Recently Senator
Vandenberg (R., Mich.) inter
rupted debate to observe:
"The Senate did not adjourn
until half past one o'clock a. m.
And yet when we opened our
offices this morning a 142-page
publication containing the entire
record was available to us."

Envisaged by Lawmaker
WASHINGTON, Au?. 5. JP
Congress was urged Saturday to
set up a new agency to see what
can be done about prolonging
human life to 140 years.
"One hundred active, healthy
and enjoyable years should be
come the threshhold of human
life," Rep. Delacy (D.-Wash.) said
in a speech in the House. "What
we now view as the inevitable dis
abilities of old age are not in
evitable at all but may be post
poned or avoided and human life
may be usefully prolonged to as
much as 140 years."
Delacy introduced a bill for
establishment of a national geria

into prevention and cure of dis
eases common to old age.

Balance Those Rations
Plenty of Wheat
For weeks and weeks now
many chickens and turkeys
have been on inadequate rations
as far as grain is concerned.
Wheat was shipped to famine
areas, or tied up in warehouses
awaiting shipment, and not al
lowed to be used for poultry and
dairy feed. Even though it
would in no way have jeopard
ized the famine relief program.
However, that is all water
over the dam now. Laying hens
were shorted on needed grain
and production suffered. .Many
flocks of young chix and turx
have seen so little grain they
have to be educated to eat it,
now that it is available from the
new harvest.
Most flocks of young birds are
definitely behind normal growth
according to age, principally
due to lack of grain, and a con
sequent improperly balanced ra
tion. Whether you are producing
eggs, fryers or market and
breeder turkeys, you should cor
rect these conditions as soon as
possible. And that means today
and this week.
At the Douglas Flour Mill you
will find once more, all the
wheat you want, or can use.
Also barley and oats, if you
want them. (And all without
benefit of Mr. Dodd, the USDA,
the P&MA, the OPA or any
other cute sounding "set of
ABC's.) The ability of human,
animal Or poultry organism to
recover from lack of proper
food, once It is again made avail
able, is remarkable.
So for the benefit of your
birds and livestock, as well as
your pocketbook, get them all
back on the "Staff of Life" at
once. Get them on the road to
normal growth and development
with the present plentiful sup-
Elies of the grains they have
ccn craving for so many weeks.
Remember the Douglas
County Flour Mil), where the
management, not the Govern
ment, has kept prices under con
trol. Fcatherpicking Turkeys.
So far this year, we have seen
very little evidence of feather
picking among turkeys. This is

Price Ceilings Won't Be
Posted in Restaurants
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-UP
Restaurant prices under the new
OPA law "will vary too much and
too often," In the opinion of OPA,
to make it worthwhile to require
the posting of ceiling prices.
An OPA announcement said
that price ceilings on restaurant
meals will be nut on a fixed
basis again if ceilings are re
stored on meats, dairy products
and other foods now decontrolled.
All restaurant and hotel meals
are under price control at pres
ent, OPA emphasized, but the
new price law requires that ceil
ings for meals be based on the
actual cost of raw food in the

better, with lots of leaves and

If this doesn't stop it, and
worst comes to worst, see us and
we will order some gadgets for
you that will stop the trouble.
We might say, however, that
this trouble is usually worse on
mash, and may sometimes be
cured by changing to mostly
pellet feeding. In that case, or
course, you should get Umpqua

The sea was rough! The boat
was rolling, rocking and heav
ing. A new sailor was doing the
same when along came the cap

sick here," bellowed the Cap

replied: "Oh, No? Watch this!
Ugh!"
How's the Pasture?
What a wonderful sight to
drive past one of those irrigated
pastures at this time of year!
Last week w-e saw about three
acres of Ladino clover support
ing half a dozen cows, and it
had got so far ahead the owner
had to bring in about 30 sheep
to help the cows out.
But a- lot of cows won't see
anything green until about next
November and it might be
pretty short even then. If your
cows are in this group,' feed
them plenty of dairy feed.
And the place to get plenty of
dairy feed and plenty good dairy
feed, is at the Flour Mill, of
course.
We are not exactly giving it
away, but will trade you a sack
for $3.60. That looks high for
dairy feed, but when you can get
as high as 79c for a pound of
butterfat, it still looks like a
fine investment. Umpqua Milk
maker Is a well balanced dairy
feed, furnishes necessary vita
mins, proteins and minerals,
keeps the cows . happy and
healthy, and assures full produc
tion at the lowest possible cost.
P. T. Z. For Worms.
If young stock or poultry of
any kind is heavily infested with
worms the feed they eat is
largely wasted. They eat well,
tut licr.'t grow, ar.i become
case of food that is ceiling-free.
At present restaurants may re
calculate their ceilings every 60
days unnder this provision, but
OPA expects to reduce this per
iod because of day-to-day fluctua
tions of food costs.

If infestaiion is severe we
recommend individual treatment
with some good worm pill, such
as we sell at the Mill. If infesta
tion is mild, satisfactory control
can be had by feeding P. T. Z.
Mash. We also have P. T. Z.
Mash, in either mash or pellet
form, cheaper than you can buy
the powder and mix it yourself.
We suggest feeding P. T. Z.
Mash beginning in the after
noon of one day, and continuing
all of the following day. We
have found that such a treat

good results.

Mills are not running more than
50 capacity because flour is
again under ceilings, but wheat
is in the open. Until OPA makes
an adjustment, you will be short
of flour and we will be short
of millrun.
Protein meals are scarce and
high. We have some on hand,
and may skin through until new
crop is available.
Butter has sagged in price,
but appears to have struck a
balance between supply and de
mand. Poultry is down some
what, because of more meats,
but seems to have leveled off.
Eggs are rising accordnig to the
season, but poor eggs are not
wanted. It will pay you to take
good care of your eggs. Espe
cially so, if they are hatching
eggs: A good egg room is a
