ATTACKING THE CONGRESS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
The Democratic. National Convention this week will conv
pleto preliminariea to the 1948 presidential campaign. With
party platforms adopted and candidates nominated, both
parties will be p-epared for the November election.
The Democratic party obviously ia planning to surrender
the presidency with only token resistance. Party leadership
Indicates ita belief that Truman cannot win. Failing to se
cure Eisenhower to rescue the party from defeat, the con
vention this week will determine who, in addition to Truman,
is to be tossed to the lions.
Democratic strategy apparently will center around an
attempt to gain control of the Congress. Realizing thai party
dissension, the lack of a strong candidate, the split in the
ranjes of the Solid South, and a general demand for a change,
make the probability of retaining the presidency very re
mote, the Democrats will endeavor to control Congress and
thus hamstring administration by a Republican president
Already the 80th Congress has been assailed by party
leaders, with the President aa spokesman, indicating the
Democratic battle strategy.
Ignoring the fact that none of 4he controversial issues
passed over the President's veto could have been enacted
into law without Democratic aid, the administration ' is
branding the 80th Congress as the worst ever, and obviously
is planning to throw full weight into Congressional elections
in states where opportunity exists to elect Democrats to
succeed Republicans.
The Republicans have only a very slight edge in the Sen
ate 51 to 45 and only 68 majority in the House. As the
campaign progresses, we believe, the activity will center
more around Congressional contest than the fight for the
presidency.
Quick Action By City Police
The city police definitely were on the job Saturday eve
ning when, within 20 minutes, they had taken into custody
a youth charged with a holdup and the wounding ,of the
proprietor of a grocery store. Insurance companies probably
would not consider as a good risk a policeman attempting
the arrest of a youth possessing a pistol still warm from an
attack on a holdup victim. But the city policemen making
the arrest did not hesitate in performing their duty, although
they must have realized the danger they fared. They are to
be commended for a good job.
Sudden death of "Tiny Ream has taken from Roseburg
a citizen it can ill afford to lose. "Tiny," whose nickname
was the reverse of his size, knew he was living on borrowed
time. He quit a profitable newspaper business because of a
heart ailment, coming to Roseburg to "live quietly." But his
quiet living included coming to the aid of Th News-Rtririr
as advertising manager during a particularly trying period
when help was unavailable; a very active real estate busi
ness; contribution of time and effort to all major civic ac
tivities; management of a farm, and, as a "quiet" venture,
the development of a dozen or more business and industrial
properties. "Tiny" had a great vision of Roseburg's future
and he contributed much to make that vision a reality. But,
despite his many business and civic activities, his pride was
his card in the typographical union and the ever-present
make-up rule.

! Summer and Fall
Twenty-six caaei of Infantile
paralysis have been reported this
year in Oregon aa compared to
9 cases at -this same time last
year according to Felix A. Monies
late representative for the Na
tional foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
This ia the second highest in
cidence of Infantile paralysis In
the history of reporting In Ore
gon. In 1928, 4.5 cases, mostly
from Southern Oregon, were re
ported for the -first six months
of the year. Monte stated that
with the coming of warm weath
er during the summer and fall,
a higher Incidence may be ex
pected. Preparations and plans
are being continued by the Na
tional Foundation and its County
Chapters, together with public
health departments and other
groups, to meet an epidemic sit
uation should it develop.
The following precautionary
measures are suggested to par
ents for .their children: Practice
cleanliness and keep flies and
other insects away from food.
Don't, get overtired. Avoid chil
ling and staying long periods
in very cold "water. Check with
the local Health Department to
avoid swimming in polluted wat

tion to fever, anyvof these symp

THOSE who don't stop to think
logically will read in tonight's
paper that because of a bigger
corn crop there will be more meat
and the next morning they will
go down to the butcher shop and
expect to get their share of the
larger supply.
Things would go a lot better in
this country if, EVERYBODY
thought things through. We
would all realize then that be
fore we can have more meat we
must wait until the corn crop" is
safely matured and then har
vested and la finally fed to cattle
and hogi.
The funny thing about it is
that these shallow thinkers will
be actually DISAPPOINTED
when the bigger meat supply
made possible by a bigger corn
crop that as yet is only INDI
CATED by present conditions

BECAUSE we have shallow
thinkers, we have demagogue
politicians. Demagogue politicians
thrive by promising what they
know they can't produce. They
get away with It because they
know a lot of people won't atop
to think.
If EVERYBODY stopped to
think, the demogague politician
would be up the creek in no time
at all.
