wick) a Republican district cap
tain (they ORGANIZE back
there, you see) was slugged from
behind while walking near a
polling place. We put that down
as a mere Incident. .
If It had occurred In Yugo

cited over It, figuring it might
portend a new world war.

comments that "Henry Wallace's
departure from President Tru

the hopes of progressive circles

aims of American Industrial and
financial circles." .

We must remember, hoWcver,
that Moscow's definition of "de

FIE chances are that
equally far off the beam
we re
In
sizing Russia up. 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.

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.

Purge of Tommies'
From CIO Looms
WASHINGTON. 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.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Nov. 7. (Pi
Territorial Gov. 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.
