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.

Eastern German Republic
Proclamation Strategic
Move To Win West Germany
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affaire Analyst.
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

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

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.

gesture made by any nation to
ward other nations.
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.

Insurance Agents
Urge Caution In
Fire Prevention
Almost every hour, day and
night, a fire is started somewhere
in the L'nited States by careless
smoking and handling of matches.
Losses from this one cause alone
total $51,500,000 yearly more
than half again the cost of the
Golden Gate bridge. In addition to
adult carelessness, children, play
ing with matches, cause more
than 20.000 fires a year.
As part of its drive to secure
full eommnuity cooperation dur
ing Fire Prevention week, Oct.
!M.. this alarming Information
Is brought out by the Roseburg
Association of Insurance Agents.
Successful fire prevention be
gins at the indis'iduai level, the
agents emphasize. They point out
several frequent causes of fires
which everyone can help prevent:
home dry cleaning, careless smok
ing, overloading electrical equip
ment and forgetting to unplug
electric irons, faulty chimneys,
hazardous stoves and unsafe stor
age of trash.
Last year, national fire losses
topped the $700 million mark,
according to figures released by
the Board of Fire Underwriters
of the Pacific. There were 650,
000 fires in all, and approxi
mately 11.000 people, more than
half of whom were women and
children, died as a result of lire.
