WHY? Well, If somebody you were op posing had a weapon vastly more powerful than anything you had, what would you do? Naturally, you'd DELAY while you sought the secret of the weapon. IN Berkeley the other day, the Russian scientist who observ ed the Bikini tests remarked after a look at the University of Cali fornia cyclotron that helped un lock the atom mystery: "We'll be conducting tests of OUR atom bomb some day." Asked when, he replied: "In the MEASUREABLE future." MEANWHILE, Russia seeks DELAY in every possible form. If. Isn't surprising.- rUE Dardanelles is beginning to cast its long expected shadow. Russia wantB a bigger finger In IhQ Dardanelles pic. We Una JU. S.) are reported to be ready to advocate some special "transit" rights for Russia there. The principal point of our pres ent Dardanelles policy, as an nounced by our state department, recently, is that these straits should be open at all times to TRANSIT ,ot warships of the Black Sea powers (of which Rus sia 1b the chief). But that would bo a mere agreement. Agreements go to pot In war, If somebody else had the commanding fortifications along the straits, Russia couldn't use them in WAR unless that some body were her friend. The belief is privately expressed-in Washington that the Rus sians are dead set on obtaining military bases In the Dardanelles. There will be more quarreling and MORE DELAY when that comes up. WHAT Is Russia up lu 'AS A WHOLE? General McNarney, comman der of U. S. forces In Germany, gives us a significant hint. lie says In an OFFICIAL report thai the ultimate objective of the Ger man communist party is to de stroy the capitalist system and es tablish a sociulist state wllh a classless society. He adds that the Russian-sponsored socialist unity party (in Germany) has the same objective. That is to say, Russia plans to make a COMMUNIST WORLD of everything east of the much discussed Stettln-Adrlatlc line. (Naturally, she would need the Dardanelles In such a scheme.) - ..' yVoULD that mean WAR?1 It would, of course, unless a way can be found whereby com munism and private enterprise can GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER. , This business of getting along with each other Is assuming In creasing importance In human affairs. . . ON the home front, it Is an nounced In Washington that the public debt of the United States, as of now, Is 367,6(52,; 200,879. .Assuming that we have 140 million people, that Is a debt of about $1900 PER PERSON, or $5700 for a breadwinner with a wife and one child. FIATS' quite a debt when add ed to other debts (municipal, state, personal, etc.) ' that we may have. It ISN'T hopeless. It can be paid oil rather easily il CONGRESSIONAL RECESS By CHARLES V. STANTON : A congressional recess will, be a good thing for the fountry, Congressman Harris Ellsworth asserted upon his return from Washington to spend the next few months in his district. The congressman bases his belief upon the theory that: With Congress adjourned and members back home in their districts, the people will learn that Congress Is only . : . a law-making body and tiai no part In actually running the federal government, . We fear the congressman is a bit credulous if he believes the American public in five brief months can be weaned from the idea that Congress is an organized body of nincom poops, devoting its efforts exclusively to zany legislation and interference with every attempt of our benevolent, paternalistic bureaucracy to do something in the interest of public welfare. For many long years the American public has been propa gandized to the effect that Congress is incompetent, ob structive, dilatory, negligent, etc., and etc., all adjectives being synonymous with "lousy." A systematic effort to destroy faith- of the American people in their legislative branch of government has been in progress since the Nudeal first took over administrative reins. Acting upon the theory that a lie, presented as truth, through constant repetition will be accepted as truth, our bureaucratic administration has placed the blame for every domestic failure, for chaos, confusion, and corruption at the congressional doorstep. . ' Every current ceiling price increase authorized by the OPA is charged by OPA to congressional mandate, although the OPA so brazenly defied congressional intent in price controls that a new law, which, it must be admitted, is pretty much of a mess, was enacted, because the administra tion, still holding a majority in Congress, had to have some sort of control law to maintain its voting machine. Many of our labor papers and magazines, circulated among members of organized labor, blast at Congress con tinually through editorials, cartoons and comments, portray ing our legislative branch of government as weak, foolish and fuddling. Yet virtually every complaint voiced by labor is not concerned with a law passed by Congress, but is aimed at regulations imposed by executive order, or some decision by an executive agency. Congress, passing bills crammed down its throat by a labor-inspired administration, set up the program hailed by labor as one of the greatest advances in labor legislation in the nation's history. But since passage of that legislation labor has been constantly in open battle with the War Labor Board, the National Labor Relations Board, the OPA and other agencies, all parts of the executive department, while Congress takes the rap.' ' Executive agencies, bureaus, boards, authorities, panels, etc., have .thumbed their individual and collective noses at cettrfteHHlpiial 'intent,, and have proceeded , in their own merry way to do as they darned well pleased, while their hired propagapdists' beatfdrums to call the swarm of dis content upon the head of Congress. Commenting upon the utter disregard of executive agencies in exceeding the, number of employes specified by congres sional personnel ceilings, Senator Harry I' Byrd, chairman of the joint committee on reduction of non-essential federal expenditures said: ' Responsible government officials have professed that these provisions are "just a gesture on the part of Congress." It Is my Intention to see that future violators find that flout ing the laws of Congress are gesturee Involving penalties. We hope the able senator is successful in his effort, but we doubt if he can make his voice heard above the beating of the propaganda drums, which would construe his use of insect powder to id the federal payroll of its infestation of parasites as another act of congressional obstructionism. A congressional recess might indeed be well for the country if tho people could be brought to realize that their troubles stem from executive regimentation instead of from Congress, but we doubt that this thought can percolate through tho public mind, attuned so long to the din of anti congressional drum beating. we all work hard enough and ef- uucnuy ciiuuku. gllng and fumadlddling. We can't pay u on inwi way. ' I' N all this gloom, there is a hrlRhtish s't. Hero In OUR OWN WEST, production of pine lumber Is go ing UP. According to the West ern Pine" Association, it was 76 million feet lust week, as against 74 million feet the week before and 73 million feet a year ago. Rising production is the best cure for what ails us. Control of Prune Rot How Advised Bi-own rot of Italian prunes ran- ho eont rolled and laruolv eliminated at harvest time if growers will dust or spray with sulfur.

Cost of dust I nsr or spraying to control brown rot Is small in comparison to losses that usually occur each fall in most orchards. . Dusting is the most convenient means of control as a large acre tee of orchard may be covered in a few Jjoius. A toe Uustlng sulfur should be used, the finer the dust the greater the effic iency. Dust passing through a 325 mesh screen or finer is recom Practice Set Tomorrow For Umpqua Chiefs Baseball practice for the Ump qua Chiefs will be held tomorrow at 6 P.M. at the high school field, Jerry Muggins, team manager, announced today.

All peach and prune orchards of the county show more or less work of the borers and unless control meas ures are undertaken at once, trees will De seriously aamaged, states J. Roland Parker, county agricultural agent. Paradichloro- benzene crystals, commonly can ed "PZ" cr-stals, are recommend ed as the most satisfactory treat ment for both peach and prune trees. Trees infested with borers will usually show an accumulation of reddish, gummy sawdust at the base of the tree. Frequently the cocoon shell will be found around the base of the tree after the adult moth has emerged. The moths begin to lay eggs early in July and as the eggs hatch, the young borer crawis down the trunk of the tree and begins to enter the trunk of the tree. Advice on Crystals Use Application of "PZ" crystals about the base of the trees from August 15 to September 15 while soil temperatures are 55 degrees F. or higher will prove most ef fective. Method of application is not difficult and should be done by leveling off the surface of the soil about the base of the tree, but care should be taken not to disturb the soil below the surface. The "PZ" crystals are then spread around tne Dase 01 tne tree in a band about one inch wide and two inches from the tree trunk. The crystals then should be covered with a few shovels full of fine dirt and smoothed down without disturb ing the crystals. Dosage is important, according to the age of the trees treated. From three-fourths to one ounce of "PZ" crystals Is sufficient for an ordinary tree 6 years of ae or older. For trees 4 to 5 years old three-fourths ounce, and for trees 1 to 3 years of age use one half ounce. Trees 1 to 3 years old when treated should have the dirt covering the crystals removed after 30 davs. With older trees It Is not usually necessary to break down the mounds, but may be ad visable If weather is rainy and cool at the end of thirty days fol lowing application. Palestine Calm But Still Tense HAIFA, Palestine, Aug. 19. JF) A nationwide offensive which three underground Jewish grouos were reported preparing today failed to materialize by early evening, and a comparative quiet settled upon a still tense Holy mna aner a irouniea weeKeno. I The only unusual incident up to 4 P.M. was another "oneratlon scram" at the Jerusalem poslof- iice, wnicn was evacuated lor 40 minutes when an anonymous telephone call warned the place was to oe nomnea. inis rapidly was becoming routine in a war of nerves. A scries of "spot identity checks" carried out by tho mili tary in Jerusalem in which pas sersby were stopped at road blocks for examination of their papers gave rise to the report that plans had been Intercepted for a coordinated uprising by the Stern gang, Irgun Zval Lcumi and Haganah. British army sources denied such a plan had been discovered, however. Tho central calm since yester day encouraged some of the moderate Jewish leaders to pre dict that a corner had been turn ed in Palestine's turbulent history and terrorism might be on the downgrade here. British troops held a rigid cordon around Haifa's port area following yesterday's disorders In which illegal Immigrants at tempted to scuttle the transport carrying them to Cyprus.
