Editorial Comment From The Oregon Press TRJMAN REVEALS THE POLITICS OF HIS CVA (Salem Capital Journal) A couple of day sro Senator Horse made a cautious "non-political" appraisal of the contro venial Columbia Valley adminls tration. He described the issue as too Important to be dumped into partisan politlci. He said the development protects should be built first "so we have something to administer." But President Truman doesn t see it that way. In a tvpical squeeze-play move, the president ha bluntly told congress that U he doesn't get his CVA, then no funds for de velopment of the Columbia river basin. Truman's stand came out In a communication to the chair man of the senate public works committee. The president asked congress to defer approval of a billion dollar development pro gram of the region by the army engineers and the reclamation bureau, the existing federal agen cies in the field. This Is playing politics with the future of the Columbia river area. If Truman doesn't get his pet project out here, he doesn't want the region to get any further development. Bv taking such a stand, the president will force a show down on the controversial Issue. With the veto power in his hands, he could kill off any appropriation measure that congress might pass despite his threats. This is just what the Capital Journal has feared and fought against This newspaper has con tended all along that develop ment of the Columbia river ba sin was the most important thing. That was what the people of the region were interested In. Too many backers of a CVA appeared more Interested In setting up their pet scheme than In seeing that the region got developed. Truman has now shown such to be the case. By trying to sidetrack develop ment for the sake ot establishing a bureaucracy, the president has made the politics of a CVA clear. Truman and his crowd, nnd that Includes many "fair dealem." in Oregon, want a bureaucratic ad ministration for the region. They are more Interested in that than they are In developing the Paci fic Northwest or else they wouldn't take the stand they do. The CVA now stands unmask edunmasked by Its creator, President Truman, The polities of a CVA are as bad and dan gerous as suspected. would be by Increasing their mutual trade toward the point where western Kurope could be come an almost self-sufficient economic unit. In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) Wotta Life! parliamentary election has to be called Immediately so that the voters may have a chance to el ect a NEW house of commons. That is what will happen now II the Labor government fails to get Its vote of confidence. S there any chance that It will I fall? HARDLY ANY, I'd say. Here is the set-up: Of the 610 seats In the house of commons, the Labor party noias 393. or about 60 per cent. It seems quite Improbable that theseLabor members will vote themselves out of their Jobs. It is a lair guess that when the vote is taken the Labor party will have Its vote of confidence. . THE harried British, looking na tional bankruptcy In the eye and not knowing what to do about It, are lacing another crisis. It seems that the Marquess of Mllford Haven, a member of the royal court circle and a cousin of King George, Is about to fol low the example of his cousin Ed ward and marry an American di vorcee, not only that but an Amer ican divorcee by the name of SIMPSON. (The Pritish royal family in this current generation seems to have an affinity for Simpsons.) One gathers that In the now more or less extinct institution known as the British aristocracy this crisis overshadows the late of the British pound. 6 fx f T HINGS are certainly In a mess over there. This young sprout of royalty. the Marquess of Mllford Haven, Is a SALESMAN KOR A BRIT ISH HEATING CONCERN. That is to say, he makes his living bish and make a living.

They will make more money, they will enjoy working lather than being a burden on others and they may find a new type of employment for which they are better fitted than for the Job they had held Unemployment insurance Is a good thing because it spreads the risk and provides a reserve that can he called Into use during a period of hard times. But there are workers w ho. because of their age y other conditions mav find them.selvcs out of work and im poverished during a period of prosperity.

Sept. 30 lV An elderly Matron beat en by girl inmates oi the Kla math county Juvenile home was In a critical condition at a hos pital here today. Two girls being held as mater ial witnesses in a coming felony trial were accused of administer ing the beating and were taken to the county Jail. They are Ardith Stink. 1, and Audrey Jean Mendey, 17. They were picked up here 10 days ago as traveling companions of two men arrested for car theft. They said thev lived In Kellogg, Idaho. The victim, Mrs. Zerlsh M. Houghtaling, about 70, was re ported to be suffering from a broken nose, black eyes and se vere bruises on her head and chest. The Juvenile office gave this version of the attack: About 7:30 o'clock Tuesday night the Matron caught two girls smoking in their room at the detention home. She ordered them to throw their cigarets a way, saying smoking was pro hibited. An hour later Mrs. Houghtal ing was resting on a lied in her room when the two girls came to her door and asked nermis- slon to take a bath. The matron By Viahnett S. Martin Dr. John McLoughlin Died Wealthy, Papers Reveal PORTLAND, Sept. 30 Dr. John McLoughlin, the found er of Oregon City and the virtual ruler of the Oregon country from 1S24 to 1843, died a wealthy man. the Oregon Historical Quarterly reported Wednesday. That, it seems, settles a poirt which has been in dispute among historians for nearly a century. Some biographers had reported McLoughlin died a por man. Others thought differently. An article in the Oregon His torical Quarterly disclosed that Efforts To Settle Railway Strike At K-Fclls Fails KLAMATH FALI.S, Sept. 30 (. The Oregon, California and Eastern railway was tied up as tightly as ever today for all Its 65-mile length and efforts at end ing a 30-day strike which has idled the road were at a stand still. Conductors of the Klamath Falls-to-Bly freight line walked out August 29. drawing with them all 13 operating employes of the road. I. E. Manlon, OC&E president and Great Northern general manager, returned to his office in Seattle Wednesday after spending five days here in discussions with the union aimed at settling the strike. In a telegram sent here to the Herald and News, Manion de clared that the conductors of th road had refused to Join with the company in seeking interpreta tion of a disputed working rule bv the National Railway Adjust ment board. The rule, catching point In dis cussions, involves a formula by which railroaders are paid for certain types of work, and the dispute is over whether certain types of work shall be termed 'roustabouting' or switching. If the latter, a higher pay scale would be paid. Manion asked the strikers to return to work while the rule was being pondered by the adjust me board, hut the union de the actual papers of McLoughliu's estate had been found. They showed that his estate was ap praised at over $170,000. a for tune in the 1800s. He was Hud son's Bay company factor at Van couver. Wash., and later settled at Oregon City and applied lor U. S. citizenship. Dr. Burt Brown Barker, a di rector of the Historical society, found McLoughlin's will, inven tory, and appraisal of the estate tucked away In the Clackamas county courthouse records at Or-1 egon City.

It looks to me like the British aristocracy is in a bad way and getting rapidly worse Just like An Item from a reader: (M.B. September 16 the tenth grader's letter). "The librarian of the Piney Woods school In Mississippi is someone I have known, and known of, for a long time. She was high school librarian when I went to school (Salem). She 'retired' rather early, a couple of years ago, so she would have time to do what she wanted, and she finally decided to donate her services to the Piney Woods school " So, It seems, that 'trained li brarian we have now' is an Ore gonlan Imbued with that deslro to serve, so characteristic of most librarians. Recently a mention was made in this column of the huge otate maps available from the U. S. Geological Survey for twenty five cents ("coin not stamps." But they took a check for an order over a dollar). Miss M. writes: "Thanks so much for tolling about the maps . . . which Washington when it was yet In tall timber was telling me Just this noon he remembered the Northern Pacific running a road through to Everett, Wash., and It took two days for the crew to advance a half-mile, there was that much heavy timber to fell. He once walked from Everett to Seattle through tall forest all the way!" Letters from readers are al ways such a pleasure. However the postmaster in Cottage Grove is allergic to mail with "insuf ficient address" and says so with a rubber stamp. There are many Martins hereabouts, it seems, een another "Mrs. Ernest"; but , I'm sure there isn't another "Viahnett Martin" in the whole blessed country. However, If you think of It, please add "Lorane Route." For that matter, mall sent to the Curtin P. O. right; here in Douglas county would i reach me all right. My friend, j Mrs. Holt, Is postmistress down there, and service to the com munity is her daily endeavor.

Kirst the government made tilings tough by admitting large nuaniities of foreign produced fish fillets under the reciprocal trade program. Now the army, the prime beneficiary for whisii the industry was built up In the war years, has dealt another se vere blow by its decision to bu: Japanese fish in preference to west coast American fish for Its forces across the Pacific.

Th anawrt to wn day insurance) DrolHerm By KEN BAILEY QUESTION: In a recent dis cussion of various types of in surance covering damage and theft of things like Jewelry, furs and luggage, one of our friends with some Insurance experience kept comparing "regular" fire and theft poli cies with what he called "float ers." Can you tell me what difference there is between these policies? ANSWER: There Is a basic dif ference In these two kinds of Insurance. I'nder the "regular" policy, the Insurance company states the various tfMs of loss for which It will pay and It is not liable for losses not spe cifically mentioned in the ol icy. In the "floater" the com pany Is liable In all losses not svifically excluded by the policy. Any good insurance agent can tell ou which is best in your individual case.
