Incidentally, we musn't per- I mlt ourselves to think In terms ol dollars. The time can come when dollars can be turned out by printing presses. All that will Count, In the event of war, will be the planes and guns and tanks and ships that we can turn out. ' If we can turn out more than the other fellow, we will win. If he can turn out more than we can, HE WILL WIN. PLANES (and their auxiliaries) aren't enough. The machines of war MUST BE MANNED. In (his election year, the MANNING of the war machines is the big po litical problem. We read In the dispatches that while congress Is willing to vote the money "A NUMBER OF Lawmakers have left no doubt that they would Like to avoid an election year vote on 'reviving the draft and setting up pniversal military training." I That Is to say, our lawmakers re ready enough to build the machines but get scared when 11 comes to providing the men to operate the machines. Even a moron knows that a oachlne without a man to run It Is worthless. A Representative Allen, of Il linois, bobbed up the other day jvith this suggestion: Forget the draft. I Forget universnl military train ing. Get volunteers by offering BOUNTIES up to $1500 for en listments. PRESIDENT Truman, at a news conference later, called this an "asinine" proposition. The dictionary defines asinine as "of the ass; having qualities pos sessed by or attributed to the ass, as stupidity or obstinacy." The President hits the nail on the head. ON THE theory that what has happened before can happen again, this is a good time to go back and read your Roman his tory. T Rome was great as long as her Citizens BELIEVED IN HER enough to get out and fight for her. There came a time when Roman citizens were no longer willing to fight for Rome's se curity. - Rome then turned to PAYING BOUNTIES to mercenaries to fight her battles for her. .. Her decline, which led to her lall, began at that point. THESE are serious days. They call for serious decisions. Our great need is leaders who have the courage to do what needs to ,be done. .', If we can find the right kind of leaders, the American people will follow them. Vo aren't YET a nation 01 cowaros ana murais. Our masses possess the stamina that times like these call for. . But we must have wise leader ship. Jury Exonerates Man In Fatal Hopyord Brawl - DALLAS, Ore., May 10. .r Raymond Harvntt, 51, was exon erated last week of the death of Wallace Felix Nowak, 46, iii a hopyard brawl. '. 'A grand Jury returned a not true bill after Harvatt had been accused of stabbing Nowak with a butcher knife. Harvatt was ar rested April 4. The grand Jury considered the case three times before making MEETING By CHARLES V. STANTON Governor Thomas E. Dewey Of New York, Republican candidate for president of the United States, made a most favorable impression when he visited Roseburg Friday. At the same time, the Governor and the members of his party ere greatiy plecsed by the spontaneous welcome and warm hospitality enjoyed by them in Roseburg. One member of the press group traveling with Dewey said the candidate seemed to be more relaxed and "more at home" in Roseburg than at any place he had visited so far in his hurried campaign tour of the state. Again Roseburg's nation-wide reputation for hospitality has been recorded. Undoubtedly Governor Dewey gained many votes by the friendly way he met the people and by his clear-cut discus sion of current issues It was climbed aboard his bandwagon after being inspired by his warm personality. Other voters, frankly impressed most favorably by the candidate from New York, expressed, however, a desire to see and hear Harold E. Stassen before making their final decision, but it was quite evident that the latter will have a certain amount of resistance to overcome. He will, however, have the advantage of ah appearance nearer the election date, as his visit to Roseburg is scheduled for the evening of the 18th. Incidentally, the' County Republican Central Committee is striving to give equal and parallel opportuni ties to each candidate. This writer, haying met and heard both Slassen and Dewey, would be hard-pressed to make a decision between the two in the matter of personality. The final decision must be on a basis of the issues involved. The Republican party is to be congratulated on having these two candidates, as well as others, ably qualified for the nation's highest political office. With both Stassen and Dewey concentrating so heavily on Oregon, it is apparent that the Oregon vote will have a decided influence" in either making or breaking one or the other. Sharing common views on the more important politi cal matters, the candidates are forced to side issues for a political controversy. Dewey has chosen to bring the question of basic civil rights into the campaign and is endeavoring to make of it the "peg" for his Oregon appearances. He challenges Stas sens earlier declaration that the Communist party should be outlawed by claiming that Communism and Communists must be kept out in the open, rather than being driven underground, and that it is basically un-American "to wrjte laws outlawing people because of their religious, political, social and economic ideas." Dewey approaches the issue with the mind of a clear thinking, constitutionally-minded lawyer, insistent upon preservation of civil rights to nil. Stassen, aside from a dec laration of opinion, has not amplified his statement, but doubtless will clarify his position when he, too, campaigns again in Oregon. We believe with Dewey eradicated by being brought or ism can flourish in the dark, examination in the brilliant light of knowledge and truth, it must wither and die if it lacks the stamina to withstand the light. On the other hand, were it not for Dewey's known political stature, his magnification of the civil rights issue might easily be interpreted as a drowning man grasping for a straw, in view of the importance of the Oregon campaign and the lack' of major differences between the two candi dates concerning basic fundamentals of governmental pro cedure. As previously stated, Dewey's visit to Roseburg left a most favorable impression. Roseburg will give equally en thusiastic welcome to his political rival. It is good that voters have an opportunity to meet and measure candidates personally. The American voter values his right of franchise, even though he often is careless in his use of it. He expects the office seeker to solicit his vote and to "sell" him on the candidate's particular merits. The political aspirant who fails to realize that fact often goes down to defeat without knowing why. The candidate who does the best job of selling himself is the one who wins. Roth Dewey and Stassen recognize the importance of meeting the voter face to face, clasping Ilk- hand, if possible, and discuss ing with him, man-to-man, the issues of vital importance. And because the Oregon vote is so important in the presi dential campaign, both candidates are exerting their best efforts. The Oregon voter should feel proud that he has been so honored and do his best to make the forthcoming election a true expression of majority opinion. German-Designed Device Being Used On American Subs WASHINGTON (P) The Navy is equipping Its World War II submarines with the German designed Snorkel, a breathing device that permits the vessels to stay under water a long time. In addition, Navy submarine officers told a reporter today, all of the now "guppy class" sub marines are being built with the breather tulie installed. These officers said most of the Navy's work with the device Still is "classified" nitd cannot be ills cloesd at this time. They said, however, the guppy class submarine Dogfish has made several trial runs recently off New London, Conn. Photo graphs of the lvj;fish with the Snorkel were released todav. The Navy explained tlwit the Dogfish ami other undersea craft of the same type are carrying an "American Improved version" of the device used by the Ger mans. A Navy spokesman snld that while no details are available, the THE VOTER quite obvious that many voters that Communism can best be into the spotlight.

It's -irnportant to remember that we, are; not fighting a one front conflict: but that the Bol- shevists are striking on manv .fronts. The agony of China and the critical position in partitioned Korea are part and parcel of the Red world revolution. Moscow is driving hard to secure control of all Korea, which from a military standpoint is of the highest stra tegic value. Its possession might nave a decisive eueci on tne out come of the,, Chinese Communist revolution and the domination of Manchuria. t ' General Hodge Warns , Early this week Lt. General John R. J lodge, U. S. military commander in South Korea, de clared that a Communist govern ment of all Korea undoubtedly would be announced soon by "North Korean stooges of Soviet masters." The background for that grim prediction was this: The Russians, who occupy the northern half of the country, re cently called a "unity conference" to be held in their territory to frame a constitution for a gov ernment comprising both North ern and Southern Korea. Dele gates from the American sector were Invited to attend. A nation wide election leading to a unified government had been proposed by the United Nations, but the Russians rejected this and re iused to allow a U. N. Commis sion to enter their zone. Mean lime an election was scheduled to be held under American sponsor ship in the southern zone on May 10 to create a new government. Dupes Make Report Well, two Southern Koreans at tended the Soviet parley, which General Hodges said ought to he called the all Korean Communist conference instead of the unity conference. General Hodges said they had fallen into a Communist trap. f The two came back declaring that their trip "fulfilled the ex pectation of a large number of our fellow countrymen who are longing for the unification of our fatherland." One was loud in his praise of Russian rule in the North, asserting that conditions there are much bolter than in the South. . ;. So far as one can forecast at this writing, the situation boils down to tliis: Since .thero, -isd't the slightest indiratlon'Uiat either the Russians or the Amer icans will withdraw from Korea, the little country must renrtiin divided, as is happening in Ger many. This means that the occu pying powers will have to main tain troops there indefinitely. t Dewey Too Soft Issue. Stassen Charges WASHINGTON. M.iv 10 ;pi Harold E. Stassen Saturday de- M-uucii ine position ot Gov. Thomas E. Dewev on cnrnliniiino' Communism in this country as "too soft." Stassen told a news conference that lie himself favors outlawing uir umniunisi party in the United States because "stopping infiltration of Communists may lie one of the keys toward stop ping World War III." Dewey, campaigning in Ore gon where he will clash with Stassen in the May 21 Republican presidential primary, has de scribed Stassen's proposal as "totalitarian." Ho has said that Communists in this country should lie keot in the open and that outlawing their party would simply drive them further under ground. Stassen said he will fly to Ore gon late this week after a trip to North Carolina and Missouri. He said he is willing to debate this anil other issues on the same platform with Dewey hut will go to Oregon either on that basis or on a separate platform. Dewev aides indirtted the New York governor w is not planning a de bate with Stassen. Sutherlin School Students Get Trip To State Capitol si K , -. u-,,a.,.,i..

Sandblast said he understood the State Liquor Control Com mission had authority to ban Sunday sales, and suggested the hearing to get the' "wishes of the people of Portland". Fugitive Czechs TeSS of Iron Rule Of Communists ERDING, Germanji, May 10. (V) Five Czechs said last week they fled their homeland in an airliner, forcing the pilot at pistol point to land them in Germany. Two of the refugees are young women. As, they told their story, Wiri Benes, Czech vice consul in Mu nich, disclosed that a Czech train ing plsne crash landed Wednes day on a highway near Ingol stadt. It was piloted by another man fleeing his country. In all, three Czech planes have landed in the U. S. zone of Germany with refugees since the Commu nist coup in February. The airliner passengers said they fled Czechoslovakia Wednes day because they were being compelled to join the Communist party or lose their jobs. The lead er was a iormer Uzech air force pilot. He said he was ready to take over the controls if the pilot had refused to change his course. Ail asked that their Identities be kept secret. One of the girls, a Czech of 25, said she held her small pearl handled revolver at tile pilot's head and told him: "If you don't go where we say, I will shoot." The leader said the food situ ation Is becoming critical in Czechoslovakia. He said the Com munists have imposed a "com plete police state which considers anyone who is not a member of the party an enemy." "You don't see Russians in the street, but you feel them," he said. The refugees told U. S. inves tigators tills was their third at tempt to escape. Volunteer Home Service Revived, By Red Cross Chapter Because of the increasing num ber of requests for assistance being brought to the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross, the chapter board decided to re-establish the volun-ti-er Home Service Corps which was active here during the war years. A small group of ladies was selected for training as social welfare aides to assist the pro fessional social worker of the chapter. The first of a 10-session course was begun on Tuesday, May 4 and two sessions weekly will be held until the course is completed. Ladies enrolled for the course include' Mrs. Raymond Clark, Mrs Harold W. Horn, Mrs. William J. Hutch, Mrs. J. E. Slattery, Mrs. Charles Ritzman, Mrs. Jessie Bow man, Mis. Forrest Hill and Mrs. John Jantzer of Azalea. At a meeting of the Red Cross board of directors this week, it was decided that in view of the limited local budget, financial as sistance would necessarily be lim ited to veterans and active serv ice men and their families, since the Red Cross Con gressional charter makes this the chapter's primary obligation. This action was taken because of the recent heavy increase in requests from transients for fi. nancial help. The board reported j to Al Chile, chapter chairman, that it is their belief that local needs should come first and that 1 Douglas County citizens intended ! their Red Cross contributions fori assistance in Douglas County! prooicms ann to veterans, par ticularly those who have govern ment benefits pending. "System" Loses Battle To Beat Roulette Game !,AS VEGAS, Nov., May 10 (JF) The Rover Hovs of the roulette table have folded their billfolds and departed for a quiet cruise. After another 21-hnur spin at a loeil paining emporium, Dr. Itov Walford, San Diego, and Albert Hibbs, Chillicothe, O., both 1'3, derided they had had enough. They said thev lost another $"200.

Wi t h what they had left, they planned a cruise in the Caribbean. At Reno last year, the pair won about $8,000. I m J v - a l Battle Begins On Mormon Crickets CORVALLIS, Ore. (JP) Northeastern Oregon's Mormon crickets are midway in their an nual dance of the seven veils. That could mea ntrouble in an other month. Oregon State College Extension Service experts say a Mormon cricket sheds seven skins before it gets big enough to be called grown up. And Bob Every, ex tension entomologist, after a tour of Sherman, Gilliam, Mor row and Umatilla counties, says the crickets were half-grown. Still in sagebrush country to which they were largely confined last year in what threatened for a time to be a major outbreak thousands of the crickets never will get to cast off that last skin. Every said 15 federal entomolo gists and control workers were covering 1,200 acres a week with poison bait ,and would step up that activity soon with halt. spreading equipment being hauled over me rougn desert lands ad joining rich wheat fields. Complete eradication is a big job, Every said, but enough pois on baiting can save tthe crops. There are about as many crickets in the four-county area as there were last year, he said, but only 5 to 15 per cent are likely to live to shuck off that seventh veil.
