Students at Georgia Tech, dis satisfied with the seats alldtted to thr)m in the football stadium this fall, THREATEN that unless the situation Is remedied to their satisfaction they'll sit on the play ing field on November 9, and thus force the calling off of the Tech Navy game scheduled for that day. When this writer went to col lege (much too long ago) a threat like that would have resulted promptly In mass suspensions: In those prehistoric days, the naive idea still prevailed that DISCI PLINE Is essential in our train ing for citizenship !f the demo cratic way of Hie Is to be made lo work. . a JvON'T blame these embryo chi ll 2ens at Georgia Tech TOO much. They're merely following the principle which we describe as "monkey sec, monkey do." What Is happening, throughout our country and throughout the world, Is this: We're developing the TECH NIQUES OF CONTROVERSY to a point of super-efficiency, but arc doing little, if anything, to develop the techniques of CO OPERATION. s s BUT this column (as happens too oflen) is slipping off Into the quagmires of philosophy and moralizing which most people loathe. So lot's get back to the news. a HERBERT HOOVER, who In these days sees much and says little, breaks his accustomed sl lenre long enough to tell a Salt Lake City reporter that we (Americans) should: 1. Conserve our economic re sources, Improve our equipment and REDUCE OUR SPENDING. We MUST end our (reckless) spending, he adds, 2. In national defense we should hold (for ourselves) the atomic bomb until there is real cooperation for lasting peace, which must Include general dis armament In the world allies as well as enemy countries. "We should be willing to agree," he says, "that it will never bo used except in defense of free men. That trust we should keep, but until the world returns to keep ing agreements and peaceful ac tion KEEP OUR POWDER DRY." 3. Devote ourselves to coopera tion In United Nations to main tain peace, and to do so AP PEASEMENT MUST CEASE. We should at all times assert the principle of (he Atlantic Charter for, which we fought the war and to which all other nations pledged themselves to us. a FOR more than a decade and a half, it has been politically popular to deride and sneer at everything that Herbert Hoover says. But, Just offhand, can you think ot a BETTER program for Anier- In the Day's Mews (Continued from page u ROAD TO By CHARLES The U. S. Forest Service have announced tentative plans to undertake a million dollar project to include relocation, grading and surfacing of the North Urtipqua road between Rock Creek and Steamboat. A cooperative program also is under consideration by the State Highway Commission for better connection between the Pacific Highway at Roseburg The State Highway Commission, cooperating with federal agencies and the county, has in recent years built several miles of surfaced road in the recently Was let for widening ier load standards. A program of widening and realigning the Roseburg section, along Second Avenue South, is now under consideration. These projects usually move slowly and we cannot antici pate a paved boulevard within the next few months. The federal government, however, cooperating in the effort to provide materials to meet the acute home construction emer gency, is engaged in an extensive program of road construc tion to open up the nation's ber. The Umpqua National these reserves, and, with the industry moving into this area at a sensational rate, the importance of a highway, equipped to handle heavy loads, becomes increasingly apparent. We may expect, therefore, that move more rapidly than would have been possible without the urgent demand for lumber A North Umpqua highway Which many of our people have been interested. Construe tirm of a road into Eastern Umpqua route, was a dream been unfortunately placed, however, because of small popu lation and lack of political influence, in securing for the route the recognition it deserves as a cross-state highway. Many of its physical advantages have been ignored, while less favorable locations were popular and political demand. The existing forest road protection purposes. The small locally for more extensive improvement was greatly out weighed by demands from more thickly populated areas, and from localities carrying more political influence. The program now tentatively emergency. The demand for force additional improvements the probability that our dreams to the central part of the state Not only will the Umpqua timber resources from the Douglas County side, but we anticipate that timber from much of the summit section will be channeled into Klamath and Deschutes county mills, thus necessitating road construction from each end, which should hasten eventual highway completion. ' ' Other access road building will undoubtedly be fitted into the pattern. Plans call for the extension of the South Ump qua and Little River roads to a common meeting with the North Umpqua road at or near Big Camas, in the heart of the Cascades. If and when such extensions are made, a scenic and recreational paradise will be opened up for local and tourist enjoyment. Millions learn From Red Cross' No. 1 Life Saver By JANE EAOS WASHINGTON He hears the distinguished name of Wilbert E. Longfellow and Is actually a relative of the famous pool, but everybody calls him 'The Ami able Whale." Mr. Longfellow Is the number one life saver of (he American Red Cross and Inaugurated its life saving program in 11)14. It is estimated that 4,000.000 persons have been taught his methods. He's retiring in December. At one lime he weighed 300 pounds, but he's managed to knock off about 30 In recent years. He doesn't mind being nicknamed "The Amiable Whale. "Webster says that while most ly blubber, a whale Is a useful animal. I try to be useful no mat ter what shape I'm in," he chuckles. Text Is Best Seller He has been useful indeed. He wrote the life saving text for the Boy Scouts of America Handbook, a best seller since 1911. The Boy Scouts gave him the silver buffalo medal for distinguished service to boyhood. Mr. I-ongfellow says most drownings occur between the ages of 15 and 1!). That's why he likes to concentrate on the young, before they arc afraid of the water. "1 believe in teaching them to live lo grow up," he says. His Junior Red Cross 'swim and life saving courses are designed for youngsters from 12 to 15 years of age. They are used by the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Campflre Girls and at camps, municipal beaches, schools and colleges. The Red Cross now has 23.H73 volunteer water safety In structor. There are 150 paid teachers on Its professional staff. Out of the course has grown a large number of summer aqua tic school camps. Volunteers go for about 10 days Intensive train ing. They return home to leach classes all summer. This is the twenty-fourth summer Hie courses have been taught. Army Adopts fciethods Longfellow floats well on the water and stays floating for hours.

Cong. Ellsworth Here on Vacation; To Tour District Congressman Harris Ellsworth has returned to his home in Rose burg to spend the congressional summer vacation. He reports filans to enjoy a brief rest hroughout the balance of the current month, his tentative pro gram Including a fishing trip on the North Umpqua river. After the first of September he proposes to travel throughout his entire Fourth district. Unless a special session Is call ed by President Truman, the con gressman said, he does not plan to return to Washington until after the general election in November, at which he will be the Republican candidate seeking reelection. The fact that Congress has ad journed does not mean, Ellsworth said, that Congressmen and Sena tors are having vacations. His office in Washington, D. C, will be kept open, he said. Requests for publications or routine infor mation should be addressed to him there at 1631 House Office Building. While he is in Oreeon. the Congressman will visit in the seven counties of his district and will gain first hand information regarding federal projects and Installations. He will also, he said, be available at all times to meet with people in his district who have problems with the fed eral government. His headquart ers will be his Laurelwood home In Koseburg. A congressional recess of sev eral months will be a good thing for the country," Congressman Ellsworth said today. "The Con gress has been In almost con tinuous session since 1939. The result is that people are of the impression. It seems to me. that Congress is running govern mental details. Actually Congress Is only the legislative branch of the government. Its function is to make the laws. Most of the difficulties people are having are with matters handled only by the executive branch of the govern ment and regarding which Con gress has no authority other than to make changes in the law. With Congress adjourned and the members back home In their districts, It will again be under stood that Congress is a law- making body and that it has no part in actually running the fed eral government.'.'

Chinese Reds Blast At General Marshall ' NANKING, Aug. 15 (JP) Chi nese communists, rejecting Chi ang Kai-Shek's peace program, today stepped up their assaults in the north and turned their verbal fire upon General Mar shall, u. tj. peace envoy. The commnuists' Emancipation Daily, published at their Yenan headquarters, declared that Mar shall was "not above blame for the failure to cease hostilities in China." Past communist criticism of U. S. "aid" to Chiang's gov ernment had been combined with personal praise for the American mediator. Until Marshall returned brief ly to the United States last spring, he "was. at that time, generally speaking, impartial," the editorial said. unlortu- nately, he (since) did not go be yond one or two words of verbal censure, while he has not men tioned a sincle word acainst re actionaries In America and (U.S.) Marines who have acted In an unbridled manner.
