IT is Important, of course, to Rus sia: From the port of Trieste, Russia could launch submarines ' to prowl the Adriatic. Warplanet based at Trieste could help in making the Adriatic unsafe for ', non-Russian shipping. In Yugo t slavlas hands, Trieste would be practically a Russian city, for ' Yugoslavia is a Russian satellite. ANOTHER thought arises here: Suppose our side wins the I Italian election. How are we go ; lng to make good on our promlsr i to deliver Trieste? It is, ol cot.rse, a free city, under the "protection" of United Nations ' But in a pinch, how is United Nations to protect Trieste? ! After all, It is just a move on the international checkerboard. It could even be an embarasslng J move for us if we had to make good on our promise to deliver ', Trieste to the Italians in return for voting our way in the Apr". '; election. ' ' The whole business helps to n- lustrate the skctchincBs of our ' foreign policy in . the present ' world situation. , C PEAKING of politics, there is ' J a new "draft Ike" move in '. the wind. This time it comes from the Democrats. It started '. with Southerners who don't like Truman's "civil rights" slund. : From there it spread to Chicago, ; where a Democratic leader by the name of Arvcy came out for J Eisenhower. Now a couple of Hooscvelts are ) beating the drum for him. Elliott, ; at Hyde Park, lot go with a state '. jijent that "Eisenhower should he ; a Democratic unity candidate to i rally liberals and conservatives In ! a program uf American leader ship to sell democracy throughout the world." Franklin D., Jr., speaking in New York, says Ike ." should be drafted for the Demo j crat(c nomination. The Roosevelts, however, arc split. James, in California, Is carrying the torch for Truman. Anna, in Phoenix, lets It be known in fairly certain terms that she is "ag'ln" a military man as head of our government. AND so it goes. The first prin ciple of polities is to latch on to somebody WHO CAN BE ELETiVD. The politician's Idea of it is: "What else matters?"

INVITATION By CHARLES We appear to be on the mailing list of the National Council for Prevention of War as we receive occasional copies of that organization's publication, Peace Action. The Council would reduce appropriations for military defense, and replace such items in the federal budget with the reconstruction of our democracy on the foundation of a healthy, educated, prosperous, free and contented people." Sounds fine, doesn't it? We wonder how healthy, educated, free and contented are the people of Czechoslovakia, Korea Manchuria and other countries whore Soviet Russia has im posed political controls by communistic minorities upon help less majorities. The reason the majorities were unable to protect themselves against loss of their freedom was because they were weak. Had they been organized to defend their liberties they would not be enslaved today. But listen to Peace Action : Our militarists have now become warmongers again, as they have done on occasion In the past when they wanted exorbitant military appropriations. They have enlisted radio commentators and newspaper writers to scare you into giving them the billions they want in contracts for airplanes and naval vessels and, If possible, UMT or a re turn of the hated manpower draft. They will talk, as one radio commentator has already done, of the Imminence of actual war with Russia. Keep cool I And let your Congressman and Senators know that you understand the scare. Write theml Tell them that the "Truman Doctrine" was another blunder and Its failure should now lead to a sincere drive for world dis armament and not to expanding Its scope. Tell them that you want them to cut the Army and Navy; that you want your money to go Into Education and Health and Houses and Soil Conservation. Tell them to fire a quarter of the gen erals and admirals now and give their salaries to the school teachers; to save $2,000,000,000 this year from military de fense and put It Into defending our homes from decay and our children from Illiteracy, delinquency, and crime. There is more of the same, but that's a sufficient sample if the ideas the National Council for Prevention of War is trying to instill into the public written a better statement. Nothing would suit the commu nist combine more than to have these ideas bear fruit. Disarmament! Is it difficult to recall what happened when .ve tried that scheme once before? We scrapped our battle ships while Japan built up a naval force which gave us plenty jf trouble in the early days of Is war imminent? Not if we are prepared to fight. But Isn't Communism overrunning weak nations as rapidly as is humanly possible? War WOULD be imminent if we, too, became weak. Cut defense appropriations? men? Wouldn't that be just dandy? Russia's rapidly expand ing military forces could ask nothing better. Put our money into education, houses and soil conserva tion? That's a grand idea. We're for it. But we nlsd want our schools, our homes and our soil protected. Slaves have little need for education. A conquered people cannot expect to retain their homes nor their lands. There's little use of putting money into those things while we let down the bar riers to Communism. It is easy to prey upon the peace-loving American citizen. like militarism. We have no no land from other nations. We seek only friendship and peace. We are willing to make great sacrifices to avoid war. But when a power-mad, blood-crazed bully is Iooro in the world, striking down defenseloss nations, it is criminal to urge weakening our defense. We have always had the deepest sympathy for the true and honest pacifist, even though we believed his doctrine and teachings to border on the exists a danger of war, failure may be called upon to fight a trained man has a far better the untrained. This has been doubt by past experience. Statistics carefully maintained during the last war show conclusively that the soldier who survives the first two weeks of actual combat has excellent chances for future survival because he learns how to protect himself. Much of this ability for protection can be gained through preliminary training. But a soldier denied adequate preliminary training is far more apt to bo killed or wounded early in his combat experience. Thus, those who would deny military training, in the face of the actual and easily recog nized danger of war, are involuntarily subscribing to a prac tice of negligence which will, in the event of war, result in the unnecessary deaths of many of our finest young men. Appeals such as those found fields in the minds of sentimentalists, but acceptance of the plan as outlined could easily result in the loss of freedom and the virtual murder of hundreds of thousands of our finest men. It is nice to be idealistic, but it is foolish to stick our heads in the sand to avoid realization of the danger which surrounds us. fl!VV-Honflnirg Auction. 7.00 -Frank Heniinnwiiv, FnljerV 7;.M State and Local News, Dr. Bruce Turk. 7 Hhiipsody In Wax 8 00 News, Johiiwell Co. fl 15 Hob's Music Shop. fl ;tO Wally'a Waka Up Time.

Mew Contracts To End Strikes Of Printers Loom HAMMOND. Ind.. March 30. (sP) Early renewal of contract nepotiations designed to settle strikes of AFL printers against several of the nation's newspap ers appeared certain toaay. The AFL International Tvno- .graphical Union said new con tracts are to be offered publish ers of the struck newspapers by an striKinR local unions ana will comply with a federal court ord er. This will mean fewer union demands. There was no immediate com ment from publishers of the struck newspapers on the ITU's announcement of its plan to end tne current worK stoppages. Strikes are in progress in at least eight cities. The biggest is in Chicago where printers struck last November 24 against the city's live major dailies. The printers are not expected to return to work during the new contract negotiations, a un ion spokesman said. The ITU announcement yester day followed a conference of un ion attorneys and officials and counsel for the national labor relations board in the chambers of federal Judge Luther M. Swy gert. The conference was held after Judge Swygert had refused to stay enforcement of an injunc tion ne issued bnturciay iorota ding the ITU from causing print ers' strikes that violate the Taft- Hartley law. Union attorneys said they planed no immediate appeal of the injunction. The injunction will be in ef feet until the NLRB rules on the government's charges that the union violated the Taft-Hartley act. Counties Lacking 3n Facilities For Mental Patients PORTLAND (JP) The Ore gon Mental Hygiene Society re ports that no Oregon county, with the possible exception ol Multnomnh. has suitable quarters for mental patients awaiting neanngs or commitment. The society, which has Just completed a year's survey of the state's facilities, recommended mat ail general hospitals built from now on provide special sound-proofed rooms for mental patients, and that existing hospi tals provide such facilities as soon as possible. At present, the society said, no hospitals outside Portland are equipped to handle mental cases. Consequently it is difficult W de tain such persons anywhere but In Jail. State laws prohibit Jailing the mentally ill except when no oiner iaciiiues are avauanie. The report said 13 counties ad- jacent to the two stute hospitals in Salem and Pendleton have no serious problems. The difficulty is greatest, tne report said, in outlying districts. Two counties recularlv iail in sane persons in the same cells with ordinary prisoners, and without a gtiarrl, the society s;iid Births Announced al Mercy Hospital GRANT To Mr. and Mrs. Truman Grant, Days Creek, March 20. a diuightcr, Florian Dove; weight eight pounds two ounces.

Proposed Dams On Rogue River Face Strong Opposition GOLD BEACH. Ore.. March 30 The Rogue River Conservation Committee, organized here some months ago. plans a general meet. ing of the Rogue River Basin Conservation Committee, to be held in Gold Beach April 9, when representatives from all parts of the Rogue River basin interested In the preservation of the Rogue River as a sport fishing and rec reational area, as opposed to the proposed construction of a dam in the river, will be present. People interested in the Rogue River as a sport fishing and rec reational stream are convinced that the olans of the Army en gineers and the Reclamation Ser vice to build a number of dams in the bed of the Rogue for di version of the water for irriga tion and the generating of elec tric power, will practically ruin it for recreational purposes, es pecially if the work is done along the lines proposed b" the govern ment engineers. It is known that the Rogue River sports fishery alone brings in more than $2,100,000 annually to the State of Oregon, with a capitalized value at 4 per cent of $53,875,000. In addition, $2,600, 000 has been invested in resorts and other property pertaining to sport fishing and other recrea tional activities, the value of which would be practically des troyed if the recreational poten tial of the Rogue is lost. II is the contention of the Basin Committee that construction of dams on the upner Rogue would flood the best spawning grounds of salmon and steelhead and re sult in drastically reducing the runs of those fish in the stream, thus destroying an important in dust ry. It is I he purpose of the Basin Committee, of which Kenneth Denman of Medford is chairman, to lay before the government en gineers at the June hearing, ma terial showing the value of the Rogue area for recreational pur poses as compared with the pro posed industrial development. Nigh Court Will Review Decision On Political Funds WASHINGTON, March 30. (JP The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to review a lower coint decision which held un constitutional the Taft-Hartley act's ban on union political ex penditures. The Justice Department asked the High Court to review and overturn the decision. The De partment said the act represents the deliberate Judgment of Con gress that it is necessary to curb expenditures intedend to affect the outcome of federal elections. The court also agreed to rule on the constitutionality of Ari zona and North Carolina laws banning union closed shops. Many other states have similar laws. In another case, a New York law which bans the sale of pub lications devoted principally to stories of bloodshed, lust and crime yesterday was held un constitutional bv the Supreme Court. The decision was 6-3. Justice Frankfurter said the decision CABINETS Boards-plyvood-noils put together do not neces sarily produce cabinets.

Ptarsofl, Distributor General Petroleum Product Prion 321-J Company Ph. 131 4 Milheat Growers Urged To Fight Prune Thrips Prune thrips began to emerge in numbers Sunday, March 28, states County Agent J. Roland Parker, and prune growers should immediately spray or dust for control. Use of DDT in sprays or dust is recommended. One pint of 25 per cent DDT in oil emulsion to 100 gallons of water or two pounds of wettable DDT powder to 100 gallons of water should be used in spraying. For dusting, a 5 per cent DDT dust applied at a rate of approximately 45 pounds per acre is recom mended. Thrips are generally found about the same time In all prune grownig sections of the county and growers are advised by Parker to use control measures before damage is done to the buds. The emerging thrips, all females, lay eggs on the stems of blossoms. The egos hatch as the prune tree blossoms and the young thrips are both sucking and rasping types. They cause both blossom drop and a brown fruit scarring called russet. The adult thrip, however, does the bulk of the damage to the blos soms by depositing eggs in the stem and feeding on the buds as they open. Cow Effects Truce In War of Arabs and Jews JERUSALEM (TP) It hap pened near Jerusalem. A cow which had heard noth ing of partition troubles escaped from its Jewish owner into Arab territory several miles away. But the mukhtar (village elder) of the Arab hamlet did not be lieve in war. He phoned to the Jewish mukhtar of the cow's na tive village that he would be pre pared to retturn the cow but how? Soon ten unarmed Arabs drove the animal into no man's land between the two villages and there it was received by ten equally unarmed Jews. They met and parted with mutual peace greetings of "salem," "shalom." BIBLE QUIZ Did you know that it is wrong to coll anybody on earth your Father or Master?
