0 r TEN Policy Toward Franco Spain Can Place U. S. in Awlcard Situation By JAMES THRASHER Bipartisan foreign policy Is a valuable and well-advertised American product, but also a rather tricky one. It concerns not only Messrs. Truman, Dewey, Marshall. .Vandenberg and Dulles. It concerns other government functionaries among them. Sen. Chan Gurney of South Dakota, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senator Gurney's recent study of military conditions in Europe, observers say. may greatly affect the course of U. S. military policy. On one vital Issue, however, we feel the senator has done his country a disservice. Senator Gurney had a talk with Generalissimo Franco in Madrid the other day. Afterwards he said he favored complete re-establishment of relations between Spain Roof Materials of All Kinds PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 1 164 E. 2nd Ave. S. Phone 242 J and the U. S. He said he was "tremendously impressed with Franco's pride in the Spanish people and his faith in Spain's military power." He did not come out in favor of mililary assistance to Franco, but he thought that Spain should receive economic help. As a re sult, the American Embassy in Madrid had to announce that there was no basic difference of opinion between the State and Defense Department! toward Spain. Prudsnc Lacking Mr. Gurney has every right to admire Franco and the Spanish people. He has an equal right to favor economic or military aid for them. But it would seem more CHIROPODIST FOOT SPECIALIST Dr. E. W. Carter (Over Rexall Drug Store) 1294 N.Jackson St. Hours 9 A.M.. 5 P.M.

Congress and of the Republican Party, he had thought twice before making this rather embarrassing confession of his personal feelings. If the senator wished to ad vance the bi-partisan foreign poli cy that his party is committed to, he might have remembered, as a senator, that the Republican Senate persuaded the Republican House to change its mind about recommending Marshall Plan aid for Spain a decision which, if carried out, would surely have lost us friends and encouraged communism In Europe. Democracy Suppressed We are aiding, or have aided, governments in other countries that give off something less than a democratic aroma. But at least those governments are threaten ed by the forcible Imposition of communism. This is not the case in Spain, where communism and democracy alike are sternly sup pressed. Spain's aid to the Axis in World War II could scarcely be con tained within the bounds of tech nical neutrality. Senator Gurney has his clear rights of expression. But he also has duties as an Intelligent citi zen, a loval party man and a rep resentatfve of government. He has the dutv to remember that when he speaks In Europe, Eu rope can be forgiven for Imagin ing that he speaks for his party and his government. The government of which he Is a part has been forced to make enough sacrifices of idealism for expediency as it is. His fulsome praise of Franco does not make the task of maintaining a united American front any easier. ROSEBURG VENETIAN BLIND FACTORY 615 N. Jockion Sf.

MARTIN WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 JPV With a record crop volume prac tically assured for this year, farmers already are turning their attention to planting for another bigoutput in 1919. The Agriculture Department reported- this in a harvest-time statement yesterday estimating this year's total crop production will exceed the 1946 record by 8 per cent. Favorable weather In Septem . ber virtually nailed down earlier forecasts for 1948 prodcution will top all others. Fall plowing, field preparation and seeding of such fall-sown grain as winter wheat, rye and oats Is progressing seasonally, the I department said. I In some areas, however, lack of soil moisture has held up grain seeding. This was the case in parts of the southern great plains, where dry weather a year ago also hindered operations. This year's record corn crop will turn out to be larger than the department had previously predicted if its latest estimate is borne out. Yesterday's report put the crop at 3.567.955.000 bushels a boost of about 39.000.000 bush i els from the September forecast. ! Bigger Meat Output Looms j Surpassing the 1946 record by 1 10 per cent, the new corn crop ' opens the way for a big boost In production of meats, dairy and 'poultry products. Consumers ' should fivl the benefits In the form of lower prices by late 1949, officials said. With farm prices In general now down about five per cent from the January peak, an Agri cultural Department economist said today a further drop of 15 per cent may come by the end of 1949 if peace prospects brighten. O. C. Kline, assistant chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics, told a conference of sev eral hundred state agricultural college economists prices will hold so long as "the possibility of active warfare hangs In the bal ance." But assuming peace. Stlne said, the turn of the tide for agricul ture has passed.

HARGIS ELECTRIC good reasons for an Summer vacation in CALIFORNIA Indian If the only thing standing between you and a fall vacation is a good excuse to get away, here are four of the beet reasons we know: 1. BEAUTY. Indian Summer is the most delightful time of year along our lines all over the West. Whether it's mountains, seashore or valley for you, you'll find nature at her best for the next couple of months. 2. ECONOMY. The winter vacation season hasn't started yet in places like Arizona's resort country and Palm Springs. But by October the summer heat is over, and the climate is mild and balmy. Many resorts snd guest ranches offer reduced rates for "early season" guests. Also, since the ummer season is over, you stand a good chance to get a special rate at summer resorts, too. Fall's the time for economy at summer snd winter resorts. But you'd better get your plans laid now. 3. COMFORT. You have more elbow room to relax in now; There's just as much or mors of nature to enjoy, but not .so many vaca tioners getting awsy from each other together. 4. RESERVATIONS.
