STANTON President Truman, as was to be expected, has made formal declaration of war upon the 80th Congress. His declaration took unexpected form something like the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, It is entirely possible that he will get the sanie sort of reaction the Japs experienced a concentrated fury which will blast him out of the political arena. It re mains to be seen just how Congress will receive the Presi dent's call for resumption of the session July 26, but Con gressmen on their way home for planned vacations, Con gressmen preparing to build fences In preparation for the November elections, Southern Congressmen being clubbed . into action on a highly controversial Civil Rights measure, probably will not feel too happy about being called back to the sweltering summer heat of the National Capital. Some administrative move to attack the Congress obvi ously was in the making. Democratic strategy is to be di rected more toward an effort to gain control of the Congress than to retain the presidency. While the presidential battle, as indicated by convention speeches, will pit the ghost of Franklin Roosevelt against the distorted shadow of Herbert Hoover, a form of canv paign strategy which is growing more than hackneyed, the Democrats, having little optimism about retaining the presi dency, will endeavor to remain in power by overcoming the small Republican Congressional majority. Thus assault upon the 80th Congress was clearly to be anticipated. But bas the President pulled a smart political trick in recalling the Congress, or has he made another of his too- frequent blunders? The "fish or cut bait" declaration contained in his accept ance speech was a challenge to a fight. And we anticipate he will find the Congress in a fighting mood. Certainly the Republicans won't take the challenge submissively. It is quite evident the Southern Democrats, representing states which defied the President all the way through the convert tion, will not be on his side during the special session. Even his friends will not be too happy about being called back to Washington when they have made other plans for the vaca tion period. Then, too, many of them, having used up travel allowances, will be financial losers. Altogether, it appears the President is asking for trouble and is apt to find a heap of it. Even though the call for special session may be astute politics, is it not dishonest administration? Patently the call is sheer political expediency. The President is trying to put the Congress on the spot trying to make political fodder for the November election. It is extremely doubtful that any constructive legislation can be achieved by a legislative body in the frame of mind of the 80th Congress recalled under duress. The only pur pose the special session possibly can serve is to stag a political rat race. But the special session will cost a lot of money taxpayer money. Is it honest administration to make the taxpayers of this country produce political hay for either the Demo cratic or Republican party? Is it honest administration to force the taxpayers to bear the cost of a partisan political campaign? President Truman recently made a political tour at public expense and ran afoul of much criticism. Now he has gone even further and is making a direct frontal attack declaring open warefare upon the Congress for none other than political purposes and making the public foot the bill. It is one way of conducting a campaign without exhaust ing the party treasury, and, judging from reports, campaign contributions haven't been coming in too satisfactorily. Truman can lead the horse to water, but ran h make him drink? We'll wait and see. VY f CORRALS 'ROUMD W WHERE THEY KEEP V? .J X VJ AL.L, TH' MOUNTAIN!

Ml'NSON CHEYENNE, Wyo, July 16. .T Don't teel too aorry for that "butted" rodeo steer. Think of the cowpoke who has to wrestle him. The 14S head of Mrxlran ilfrri coming out of the cliutra the at week of this month at CJieyenne's 52nd Annual Frontier Dayt take their roping and bulldogglng Just once during the five days. But II ' a different atory with the waddles who try to rope and tie them, or dive off thrir horses to "dog" Ihrm. They have to fight the critters at leaat three tlmra to get In the money. Cheyenne decided several years bark that In the Interest of fair ness to the participating cowboys and the animals It was beat to use a steer Jut one. So, nowa days, aa each sleer comes through the chute he gets a red slash of paint on the rump. That's a ticket to the pasture. Altrr bring roped (busted) or dogged once the steers are dis posed of after the show. Some re sold to other rodeos, and others are sold for various pur poses. DISS ASK MAY FOACI IAN For several years Cheyenne has preferred Mexican steers, but It looks like thia year's batch will be the lat to come from south of the border. The hoot and mouth disease epidemic In Mexico has put a crimp on getting the animals. They may have to go to Florida for steers next year. Asked why Cheyenne preferred the Mexican steer to the Ameri can breed, Hob Haneawnrth. veteran secretary of the Frontier Day's committee, replied. "They're a lot tougher, brother. Then. too. they don't get a bust- ed horn aseasily as the Ameri can ereea. "The boys like them too for that reason." Cheyenne's show Ihls vear will make use of more than VK) head of livestock Including 14 Mexican-steers averaging 750 pounds. An estimated 2!0 cowboys.

Drain Plans Sign To Extend County Stay of Tourists Tourists on the Pacific High way driving from the south will be reminded to take the Highway 38 route to the Oregon coast bv a sign soon to be erected at Drain's south city limits, said H. L Goodmanson, president of the Highway 38 Association. It was decided to place the sign at the south city limits In order to keep the tourists longer in Douglas County, Goodmanson ex plained. Coming from the south, the tourists wifl have driven al most 80 miles within the countv. By taking the highway to Reeds port, another 50 miles of their trip will still be within Douelas County, Goodmanson said. Although a sign will eventually be placed north of Drain, It was decided that diverting traffic over Highway 38 to the coast from the north would shorten the stay of most tourists In this coun ty Signs advertising Highway 38 will also be placed by the associ ation both north and south of Reedsport, Goodmanson said. Fi nancial contributions toward the advertising campaign have been made by the Drain and Reedsport Chambers of Commerce and the Douglas County Court. Officers of the association, he- sides Goodmanson. are Bill Bur- dirk of Reedsport, vice president. ana trnest a. Beaton or Drain, secretary-treasurer. Membership Includes resort and hotel oper ators and businessmen In Drain. Reedsport, Elkton and Scotta-burg. Statt Press In the Day's News (Continued From Page One) WHEN POETS WERE WILD (The Oregonian) The eagerness of California to reach over state borders and claim for Its own the natural wonders of Nevada, Oregon and even Washington and Idaho, is loo well known to call for com ment. This method is merely another refinement in a process which In earlier and cruder days was common prartire In all states that were hankering for settlers. The older method, whirh Cali fornia also continues lo use, was the Indirect one of running down other states In order lo make one's own region seem paradise. IVrhaps Ohio began It; when land companies there were seek ing settlers, stress was laid up on "the unhealthy climate of Kentucky and other adlarent lands." Minnesota thought it worthy to mention that Its courts "got one conviction In everv 3SM Indlrtments," while Massa chusetts "got one conviction In every 841 Indlrtments." This was supposed lo prove something fav orable to Minnesota. Though Colorado did not deign to men tion any other state bv name, its men of vision strongly inferred that only In Colorado could "uro ple of moderate ability get rich." So It went, nor need vou think that our own state was dmwa-1 ing. in the Oreiion Land Company, which "orrupled one-1 nan or the ground I oor of the Three-Story ltrirk A Iron Ruild-!

When you enter into a deal with a private individual, you expect him to keep his word. When he says he will do thus and so, you expect him to DO It. If he doesn't do It, you lose faith In him. When you lose faith In a man, you tell other people about It and you explain WHY you lost faith In him. In the course of time, as the facts get spread around, other people lose faith in him. When that happens, he v Is SUNK. When a man gets a repu tation as liar and double crosser and an all-around unde pendable citizen, he might as well fold up and quit, for after that people will do business with him only with crossed fingers. You can't get far In modern business if nobody trusts you. OUR political parties have con tinued to exist ONLY because ALL of them have followed this cynical rule of tell the saps any thing before election and after election do whatever seems ex pedient In order to keep In power. With all of them tarred with the same stick, there has been no choice and we have been slowly falling Into the belief that ONLY MEN COUNT, that party prom ises aren't worth even the paper they are written on. Thus what was once a government of law has been drifting steadily Into government of men. All history shouts aloud the lesson that a government of men is a dangerous thing. It la dan gerous because power and the urge to retain it CHANGE MEN usually for the worse. Napoleon started out pretty good. He ended up TERRIBLE. That lirMhe way power works on men's minds. THE one big noise In the Demo cratic platform this campaign year Is the "civil rights" plank. This civil rights Issue Is Im mensely Important. We have all kinds of people In this country. They are all PEOPLE. They have basic, Inalienable rights. The color of a man's skin, or the articles of his faith, has nothing lo do with his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Un til we learn that FACT, and act on It honestly, democracy among us will be a hollow sham. But don't expect anything hon est and genuine to come out of this civil rights ruckus this year. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are sincere In their political attitudes toward It. They are Just batting It hack and forth as a part of the political game to get votes. This "civil rights" issue got Into politics when some clever cynic discovered that In many Im portant northern states ( espe cially those with huge, crowded cities) the colored vote held the balance of power. Since then all politicians have gunned eagerly for It but have done nothing hon est and sincere to DESERVE It. e WHAT an opportunity the Re publican party has this year! Its ticket is headed by two good men. If Dewey and Warren could BRING HONESTY AND SIN CERITY BACK INTO AMERI CAN POLITICS they wwild have saved the American system of government from the dangers that confront It and would have Insured the continuance of the American way of life. Reinstatement Of Gl Insurance Will End July 31 July 31 is the last chance for World War II veterans to rein state their lapsed GI term Insur ance without the requirement of a physical examination, the Ore gon Departmeat of Veterans' Af fairs warns. The state veterans' agency, In urging veterans to reinstate, pointed out that the price of two monthly premiums is the only cost. A statement to the effect that the vefera a Is In as good physical condition as he was at the time his insurance lapsed, will suffice for most veterans. After July 31 a physical examination will he re quired to reinstate, where the in surance has lapsed more than three months. Term insurance, veterans are reminded, is the same type car ried during active service In the armed forces. It is the lowest cost life Insurance available. A recently parsed law permits veterans to carry term Insurance another five years beyond their previous expiration date, before having to convert to a permanent plan. They must make application for this renewal, however, and premium rates will be based on their attained age at time of re newal. Term Insurance may be con verted at anv time, to ordinary life, 20-pay ilfe, 30-pay life 26 year endowment, endowment at age 60 or endowment at age 65. Veterans should apply for re instatement through county or veteran organization service of ficers in their own communities, or at VA contact offices. J. R.

Rotarians Pay Final Tributes To 'Tiny' Ream Tributes to the late M. O. (Tiny) Ream as a "true Rotarian" were paid at the regular meet ing of the Roseburg Rotary Club Thursday. Eulogies were given by Howard Ott and Dexter Rice, with a vocal solo, "Going Home," by Leroy Hiatt. Ream's Joy of living, his un selfish activities, and wise counsel to fellow Rotarians were told at the meeting. It was recalled that he had served as president of two Rotary clubs at Kingman and Tucson, Ariz. and had been active in the Roseburg Rotary Club. His belief in the ideals of Rotary was second only to his religious faith, Ott said. "Tiny had a great hope. He was a good worker in the church. Many rple were not aware of that, said. Rice described Ream as a "true Rotarian" and as a man "clean inside and out. He did not look up to the rich nor down on the poor." Present at the meeting yester day were R. L. Williams, news paper publisher of Chandler, Ariz., and VV. W. Evans, Mesa, Ariz., brothers-in-law of the late Mr. Ream. ..and the latter's son Bob Evans of hoseburg. Arlo Jacklln served as program chairman. Following the meeting, the election of Cecil Sherwood as a director of the Roseburg Rotary Club was announced. Sherwood will take the place of Earl Flegel, who recently moved to Portland. acres of wheat and 15 acres of tlmberland, destroyed a house and raced through more than 300 acres of grassland yesterday in and around Walla Walla county. Sparks from harvesting equip ment were blamed for the blaze that ate through the Wheatland and consumed a house at the farm of Joe Blanc, 15 miles north of here. It was the first wheat crop produced on the former range land and was reported run ning better than 40 bushels an acre. The forest service reported two timber fires In the Walla Walla District of Umatilla National For est and a third in the Pendleton district. DO YOU KNOW? .

Fullerton, president, said today. "This program." he aded, "will help alleviate the critical condi tions which mav become more acute as our population continues to increase." Mr. Fullerton said that the Chamber of Commerce originally i appointed a hospital committee ! of seven on November 4, 1947. This group was later expanded to 12 members and incorporated as a non-profit organization. To day, "known as Douglas Communi ty Hospital, Inc., it has three officers and a board of trustees of 35 members. "The Chamber of Commerce realizes that the Roseburg area is at the cross roads of a decision with regard to hospital plan ning which must be faced. It 1s one which must be made not only on the basis of the present situa tion dui also on future possibili ties." he continued. "Today we are far short of satisfactory hospital require ments. It Is reasonable to as sume that there will be a 20 per cent Increase In population over our all-time high now. This is a tact already evidenced by the birth and death rale Increase and school enrollment data," Mr. Fullerton pointed out. "Let's make Op for the lack of hospital facilities now and pre pare for the future of our com munity and county," he declared.
