THAT Bays about as plainly as
words can put it that the
people of Rome want to work,
; refrain from work only because
they are afraid and HOPE that
.something will happen to make
'It possible for them to go back
to work.
The mass Intelligence of the
.people tells them that the only
' cure for what ails them is WORK
AND PRODUCTION. They know
instinctively, you see, that they
can't have what isn't produced.
They want food. They want cloth
ing. They Want shelter from the
storm. Wand-waving won't pro
duce these things. Only by WORK
can they be had.
They want to work, and HOPE
they will be allowed to work. But
the communists order them snot
to.

IT Is a screwball program.
But communism itself is a
screwball program. In a world
where men crave freedom as they
never craved it before, commun
ism brings back government by
the few under the guise of
"liberalism."
It Is one of the great frauds of
all history.

"Communism is fascism In a

I manner typical of the worst ex
cesses of fascism.
"Behind the iron curtain in
Eastern Euroie may be found
case after case to demonstrate
this point. Truckloads of com
munist party thugs arrive sud

brought out and men and women
art beaten all In the manner
- typical of the worst excesses ot

; He adds:
'. "Communiam has NEVER

REGISTER FOR ELECTION!
By CHARLES V. STANTON
The appeal for voters to register for the annexation elec
tion to be held Dec. 26 is showing good results, according
to County Clerk Roy Agce, who reports many new registra
tions during the past few days.
All persons who vote in the special annexation election
must be registered.
Due to the fact that precinct poll books do not conform
to boundaries of the area proposed for annexation, the
County Clerk will furnish precinct poll books carrying
names of all registered voters of the various precincts and
the judges of election boards, outside the city limits, will
determine whether the voter
the precinct seeking annexation.
The registration requirement also prevails for voters re
siding within the city, but coordination between precinct and
ward boundaries eliminates any problem of further determi
nation of eligibility.
Anyone who desires to vote at the Dec. 26 election and
who is not now registered, should secure registration at the
office of the County Clerk without further delay. New
comers are eligible to register
for a period of six months and have lived for 30 days within
the precinct.
Any person desiring to vote either for or against the pro
posed annexation should attend to the matter of registration
immediately, as otherwise the right to vote will be denied.
What's Right With the United States!
Edward C. (Eddie) Sammons, president of the U. S. Na
tional Bank of Portland, has the answer for those who find
fault with our governmental and economic systems, and who
lean toward some of the isms and left-wing theories creep
ing into our thinking.
Sammons said recently, as
Review, published in Portland:
Our country is the only nation in the history of the
world that has continued with its Intrinsic, basic type of
government since Its beginning 170 years ago. In those 170
years our per cent of the world's population produced 25
per cent of the world's goods and possesses SO per cent of
the world's wealth. In no other country is there such op
portunity as here.
Too many people are saying what Is wrong with Amer
ica. Instead we should be saying what is right with the
United States. Why ahould capital be on trial here? Why
ehould not eocialiem or communism Instead be on trial,
when our people are asked to provide the money and the
food and tools for other nationa to carry on?
In my time we have defended our country three times
from outside Invaders, but we are not defending It sufficient
ly from within. The working men here Is able to live almost
as a king compared with those In other countries. Other
systems promise; our people have.
The Industrial News-Hevkw
a fundamental truth. The American people should shout
from the housetops their faith in a system that has given
them unprecedented tangible benefits and, infinitely more
important, the intangibles that make for a life of freedom.
We read that a new gadget
radio station how many sets within its range are turned to
any of its programs at any given time. It will not be perfect,
however, until it gives a Uronx cheer whenever a listener
turns off a singing commercial or horse opera.

Opposes Intermingling
Of White, Black Races
I'd like to give my opinion for
what it is worth on this "un
American activity which is shock
Ingly prevalent throughout thi
ll. S. against minority groups,
particularly Negroes, quoting
from Miss Bo won in a former
paper.
First, I am not a Negro hater
or persecutor, but 1 certainly do
not believe in mixing with them.
I fall to see the advantage In
sending our children to a school
where there ate 50 per cent Ne-
firoes, as In some places In Port
and. Oh, unless, of course, you
have such utmost love tor the
Negroes "on wouldn't mind a
black In law. Perhaps your grand
children might even turn out to
be white, hut pity their children.
And you can't say normal young
people won't full in love v. lien
thrown together.
The Negroes have not progren
ed so very far from the primitive
state. I don't care how much you
educate them: their primitive in
tinrts and emotions will burst
forth. And what have you?
some of the most terrible rases
o( cold blooded murder and rape
known.
Don't get the idea I'm one of
those superior Individuals who
thinks I'm bettor than anyone
else. No one is a darn hit better
than anyone else. But is that any
sign we have to live with, eat
with and mix with Negroes?

Lumber Output On
West Coast
Upped
To Meet Demands
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 12
JPt Saws of more than 3,000
mills in the West Coast woods
are screeching off record lumber
production in California and near
records in Oregon and Washing
ton. Billions upon billions of board
feet of fir, pine, redwood, spruce
and other woods are being turn
ed out to fill the spiraling de
mands of the building and con
struction industries.
This area produces more than
a third of the nation's lumber.
From it will roll around 13,000,
000,000 board feet of lumber
this year. The total was nearly
12.500,000,000 in 1946.
In Oregon and Washington the
outlook is for production of
around 7,400,000,000 board feet of
fir alone, about 100,000,000 ahead
of 1946 and the best since the
top year of 1926.
Production of pine In the two
states is expected to be 5 to 7
per cent ahead of 1946 and may
set a record. State totals are not
yet available. The western pine
region 12 states is exrjected to
hit a new peak of 6,500,000,000
board feet, however.
An estimated 1.961 mills, are
operating in the fir and pine
regions of Oregon and Washing
ton. Many of the Oregon mills
were forced to close periodically
or to operate reduced shifts in
the late summer when lumber
stacked up because of car short
ages. Otherwise new production
highs might have been establish
ed this year.
Despite neavy production in
the three states, ample timber
stands and re seeding programs
assure virtually perpetual cutting.
The west coast lumberman's
association at Portland estimated
conservatively that there are
about 4dO,ox),u),uuu board leet oi
fir still standing in Oregon and
000,000 of pine.

Cook Loses Court
Battle Over Steak
OLYMPIA, Dec. 13. UP) A
Skagit County cook had no Justi
fication for attacking a patron
who had protested a tough steak,
the State Supreme Court ruled
yesterday.
The patron's arm was broken
and he wa hospitalized for two
weeks with head wounds, testi
mony disclosed.
The court affirmed the Su
perior Court conviction of Dan
Hogan, the cook, for second de
gree assault upon CJlendle Wayne
Noble, U. S. Navy enlisted man,
in a cafe between Mount Vernon
and Burlington last March.
"We do not commend the act
of Noble in picking up his steak
In his fingers and going into the
kitchen with lt, but that act in
in itself was no Justification for
"Hogan's attacking Noble as he
did, ' the court said.
Noble testitied that he carried
the steak into the kitchen after
protesting its toughness and pay
ing lor it in the dining room, he
said he was struck when he ap
proached Hogan about it. Wit
nesses testified that Hogan struck
the sailor with a heavy chain.
Roman Police Use Clubs
To Rout Communist Mob
ROME, Dec. 12 (. Jeep
borne police riot squads, swing
ing clubs, charged surging crow us
today in the heart oi strike
bound Rome, as throngs chanted
the Communist anthem, "Red
Flag."
Police quickly cleared ine
crowds, in the Piazza Colonna,
from their concentration point
below the windows of the Italian
foreign office. The crowd gave
way, jeering and hooting.
Home's general strike, now in
its second day, appeared to have
loosened its grip somewhat, de
spite the determination of the
Communist-controlled chamber of
labor to pursue it to the bitter
end. Strong-arm police measures
weakened the strikers' effective
ness as Premier De Gasperi's
Christian Democratic government
pressed lor a settlement.
