4 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Of Sot., Oct. S, 1949 I I Who's Kidding Whom? Further Decontrol Of Rents Ordered On Speed Basis WASHINGTON. Oct. 8 -4.V Tlghe Woods, Federal Rent Con trol boss, has ordered a speed up to end rent ceilings in commu nities with 25,000 population or less. Top-ranking aides who repoit ed this today said Woods has set as a goal the removal of restnic tions from 40 such areas each week "until the Job Is done." The accelerated pace of decon trols results. In Woods own words, from an "assumption" that rents in most smaller local ities have "come back to nor mal." Just how long it will take to lift ceilings in all such areas, no one would say. Bu. Housing authorities releas ed figures showing that controls now have been lifted from an even 500 areas most of them in areas having less than 100,000 population in states scattered across the country. A summary of decontrol activi ties since the federal rent act became effective In April showed that a total o? 1.780.623 dwelling units were Involved in the action. t r I IT I ! CD r.

Proclamation of the Eastern German Republic, under Russian domination, is a strategic move by Moscow aimed at winning over the republic recently esta blished In the British French American zones of Germany with Bonn as capital. The Soviet union thus Is Inten sifying Its drive for a unified Germany which can be brought under control of Moscow. The establishment of this East ern republic doesn't materially alter the status of that part of (Jermany as a Soviet satellite. The Russians already have com munied it heavily and are maintaining control with a big army of Red troops. What has been done by letting up the republic is to create a symbol of Nationalism which the Muscovites hope will prove at tractive to Western Germany and bring about a union. That's an Idea which, of course, cuts two ways, for the Western powers are equally bent on drawing Eas tern Germany Into the Bonn re public. So a hot contest is in prospect. In any event, what we have been calling the "Russian zone of occupation" now has become a Communi.it state which takes its place among Moscow's satel lites. Thus the Red empire bulges westward Into central Europe like a huge fist or battering ram. Within this bulge lies Berlin, once proud and powerful capital of the Reich and, next to Paris, the most populous of the conti nental cities. That is a highly important circumstance, as I pointed out In a previous column, and Is likely to figure heavily In the struggle for control of all Germany. Berlin not only Is the hub of central Europe the greatest transportation center of the con tinentbut it is dear to all Ger mans as the symbol of the country's former greatness. A Mrs. Roy Young Attends Meeting Of Republicans Republican organization receiv ed concentrated attention Oct. 1 and 2 at a Portland meeting of the Republican State Central committee, attended by Mrs. Ruy Young ot Roseburg, member of the state executive committee. State Republican Chairman Slg Unander, Portland, reported that since the last election, Clacka mas and Linn counties have swung into the Republican col umn In voter registration. All 36 Oregon counties now have active farty organizations, according to Inander's report, with Wheeler county being the most recently organized county In the state. A statewide clean up of county registration "Us to assure up-to-date voters' lists was urged by the committee, in response to a charge made by Leslie Rcas of Bend, Deschutes county chair man, who stated that 3.000 vot ers' pamphlets were returned by the postnffice as non-deliverable In Deschutes county at the last general election. He urged that county clerks purge the rolls in accordance with state law, which he said re quires that after every general election those who have not vot ed in the past two elections be dropped.

The new government Immedi ately cabled New York, asking that the big four foreign mini sters again take up the German question. The message was an appeal to Soviet Foreign Minis ter Vishlnsky to work for unifi cation of Germany through the eastern government. The new regime denounced the Bonn government. The feeling wa mutual, for Bonn character ized the formation of the communist-dominated eastern republic as a national catastrophe. It Is easy to see that warm times are in prospect.

ANOTHER one from Wash ington: 'President Truman today signed the $1,314,010,000 (one bil lion, three hundred and fourteen million) arms aid bill, calling It a notable contribution to the col lective security of the free nations of the world." THAT one Involves a somewhat different principle. What we're doing there is to give guns to our friends In West ern Europe In the hope that if communist Russia runs amuck they'll be able to stop her before she gets to us. Our motive in this case is some what less altruistic. AGAIN I hope it works. We ALL hope It works. But it's a gamble a rather long one, in fact. As of now, this is the situation: If Russia, even after waiting for us to get our billion dollars worth of guns into the hands of our friends, should go on the prod. It seems certain that she could trample all of Western Europe into the mud before we could do anything to prevent It. ' In that event, we would mere ly have poured our billion dollars vorth of guns down a rat hole. By giving them away, we'd have weakened ourselves to that extent. HIE k know this much: E AREN'T GOING TO ST- RT A WAR. We hope we can convince Rus sia that it wouldn't be safe for her to start a war. IF Russia Is bluffed out of start ing a war to conquer the world in thi name of communism. It will he our TREMFNDOl'S ABIL ITY TO PRODICE that will do the Job. it was our fantastic abil ity to produce that won the last war and the war before that. If we're going .to bluff Russia, weY better keep our great pro ductive machine operating at top efficiency. As we read the head lines of the past few days, we can't help wondering If the effi ciency of our machine isn't begin n'ng to suffer. IF so, It isn't because of any de fect in the machine itself. The machine Is better than ever. The trouble seems to be that we can't agree as to how it ought to be driven. VITAL STATISTICS MARRIAGE LICENSE BOYKR-CASKEY Dolph D.
