We probably misinterpret what Is happening tticre as completely as the Rus sian? misinterpret what is hap pening here. That Is (and always has been) a prime cause of war. If all the peoples of the world could un derstand each other better, there would be FEWER WARS. IN Oak Ridge, Tcnn. (where the atom bomb was largely born) the' U. S. Health Service an nounces that It has Joined with Monsanto Chemical Company in a research program "designed to determine the effect of nuclear raditlon upon living cells." That announcement is over the heads of us laymen. Out out of this research MIGHT come at least partial conquest of disease and a startling increase in the span of human life. That Is how close we are com ing to the opening of doors that have hitherto been closed to us. It Is an exciting age we are liv ing In. LETTERS itf lite Editor Halloween With 'Kiddies' Enjoyed , Halloween has come and cone, It was a very enjoyable affair jor me at my nome in Koseuurg. I had made provisions for the young people in refreshments, gifts and entertainment, and I believe they enjoyed the evening as mucn as t. T never saw a croup more po- lite, respectful and attentive than they. I took the Impression of tho right hand of each on paper, having thrm writ': their names with the tracing ol each hand. Of course each hand was dif ferent in outline, size and inter est, and quite a number of people have enjoyed lotting at them since. Then I took each croup to the front hall where the "Travel Trophies" are kept and each one was allowed to select any article that interested him or her and I told them about it: what country It war purchased in and incidents of purchasing. I' really was sorry when th lime came to close the house for the night. They promised to aid In clean ing up our beautiful little ci.y. which made me very happy. Mrs. Bond assisted ma during the evening. I hope they will rail again. MARIE FLINT McCALU Jiosebui e;, Ore.. Roseburg; voters have authorized the city manager form of government. The margin by which the change was adopted was slim indeed, but a close vote on such an issue is the rule rather than the exception. In fact, many cities have voted on the proposal two or three times before final approval was registered. ine opposition vote includes several factors. For one, many people are reluctant to make drastic changes in gov uiuueiiuu systems, we Decrme accustomed to rprnin forms, and demands for a change are considered merely a uesire xor new-iangied experiments of an expensive and unnecessary character. The fact that the city manager proposal sained a ma jority, slight though it may be, is somewhat surprising in view of the very decided trend away from new taxes. Douglas County voters were most emphatically opposed to more taxes in their decisions at Tuesday's election and the passage of the city manager amendment, which carries a continuing- tax provision, indicates that a sreat deal of careful study was given by voters to the merits of the plan. The exceedingly close vote will be advantageous in at least one respect. The city council will be impelled to exer cise the utmost care in its establishment of the system. Had me Danoting been affirmatively one-sided, it irritrht have engendered negligence in the council's selection of a manager and in its preparations for operation of th6managerial system. But, with the vote showing almost equal division of opinion, and a strong and critical opposition, the council cannot escape the fact that it must proceed with extreme caution, select a manager of established competence while thoroughly safeguarding its own authority. We believe, from our personal investigations into the city manager form of government as practiced elsewhere, that we can assure those who voted in opposition to the plan that by the time it has been given a thorough trial they will have completely altered their opinions and that they would not, under any circumstances, return to our present form of municipal government. We do not mean to say that the city manager plan will be perfect, particularly in its early period. Many mistakes doubtless will be made. The city manager probably will tread on' a good many toes; will have ideas with' which unanimous agreement will be lacking. But the rough snots will be eliminated through experience, and residents of the municipality will become: accustomed to the new procedure within a comparatively few months, we believe, and will be thoroughly convinced that a decided improvement has been made. At least such has been the experience elsewhere. Roseburg's reaction to the city- manager plan has so definitely followed the pattern elsewhere, that we believe we can cafely predict future events will continue in the channcl 1 led course a somewhat hostile and very critical opposition, vocally exploiting every errdr, but gradually coming to realize that the change is for the better and then falling definitely into line and into full' cooperation. It is possible to point out various affairs in which a city manager, had one been omployed in the past few years, could have been of great service. For instance, more than two years ago in this column we urged the city council to impose set-back regulations on Second Avenue South to permit future widening of that important connection with the North Umpqua highway. Acting upon the News-Review suggestion, Lloyd M. Hill constructed his building, now occupied by the Howard Cooper Corporation, well back from the street line. But the city council failed to enact the suggested ordinance and the Redy-Mix Concrete Company and the City Cleaners constructed new buildings abuttting the street line. Now it becomes necessary for the city to acquire rights of way to permit street widening and both of these! new buildings must be moved at considerable cost Had the suggested set-back regulations been provided, the city would now be saved a great deal of expense buying needed rights of way. A live-wire city manager would have engineered this project and would have submitted it to the city council in such form that its value could have been easily recognized', thereby eliminating the expense which now confronts the city an expense which doubtless will be at least equivalent to the cost of city manager operation for one or more years. We cite this simply as one example of how a city manager form of government will "save money." We urge tolerance and patience when the system is in augurated next July. If we will cooperate in setting up the program, and withhold criticism of early errors until needed experience is gained, we arc positive there will be eventual satisfaction.

Nov. 7.--Pi The beatings the CIO Political Action Committee took at the polls this week mav lead to a stiffening CIO attitude toward communism. Officials at headouartors nf the labor organization said pri vately today that action along this line is likely at the annual CIO convention . beginning No vember 18 in Atlantic City. Thev told a reoorter the cplf. described right wing elements will feel more impelled than ever to take a firmer stand aaninct Communists these elements say are active within the CIO. . The rieht wina eroun . is known to believe that the Communist-dominated tag which the Republicans repeatedly pinned on the CIO, the CIO-PAC and the Democratic party during the cam paign was an imDortant factor in Tuesday's result. Philip Muray, CIO president, for years has tried to keep peace between right and left wings of his organization. Earlier this year he told a convention of his own CIO Steelwoi kers' Union that the CIO never would allow CommV- nlsts to gain control over CIO unions but that Communists could be members if they wished.

Ernest Gruen ing has asked President Truman to authorize use of Army and Navy ships to bring relief sup plies to Alaska as reports were received here that Seward gro cers have established a system of voluntary rationing to allocate disappearing stocks of canned milk to families with children or sick persons. Reports from Seward said food and medical supplies had reached a "dangerously low" level with no prospect of replacing them until the dispute between maritime unions and ship opera tors in Seattle is ended. Gruening said that lack of feed will shortly force dairymen to slaughter their milk cows.
