-ftis-ata? pfo m!L Ak)f
By Charles V- Stanton
Directors of the Shippers Car Supply committee, meet
ing in Salem recently to aeek some solution to Western
Oregon's continuing car shortage, "came to the conclusion,"
according to a report from the meeting, that "solution of
the perennial box car shortage will not be permanent until
competitive service is made available to the western part
of the state where presently a single railroad dominates
the transportation."
Ha! Ain't that what we've been telling cm all along?
The statement continues :
Factors Influencing this conclusion waro the framandaui
growth of industry and population in the territory during
tha last twanty yaars and tha fact that tha railroad sarving
this araa has not extended its trackaga nor Its ownership at
fraight cars to kaep paca with this advance. The lumber
Industry is said to have more than doubled its production
during this period, which has also seen development of a
new industry in tho production of seeds shipped to all parts
of tha country.
The Shippers committee also agreed that its members
should do everything within their power to stimulate ship
ments of merchandise into this territory by rail rather than
by truck In order that more cars would bo made empty in
communities where eara are needed for loading lumbar.
Reports of the representatives placed in the field by
Public Utilities Commissioner Flagg indicate considerable
variation in the percentrge of car requirements filled In
different trees. Although Southern Pacific Ca. had stated
last month that It was attempting to supply better than SO
percent of the requirements of all shippers, check of station
agency records In some communities showed as few as 35
percent being delivered.
If the Southern Pacific lines in Western Oregon were
opened to joint usage, we'd be willing to gamble the bright
est necktie we receive next Christmas that we'd not only
improve our car loading facilities,' but we'd also get better
passenger transportation. -
It would be too bad thougli to lose the famed Southern
Oregon Nightcrawler. Or would it? ,

TAKE IT EASY, PLEASE
If Roseburg landlords, freed from rent controls, fail
in iisr discretion in rent adjustments, they may soon find
themselves back under regulations. It will be difficult
for soma landlords to resist an effort to make up for past
losses, boosting rents unreasonably. Conscientious landlords
should set up their own committee to police the field and
try to keep increases within reason. Flagrant abuses oC
the privilege of raising rents undoubtedly will bring con-
trols back tighter than ever.
Koseburg's housing shortage has eased materially, but
It still is difficult to find suitable living quarters, particu
larly for large families. Not many unoccupied homes, even
of substandard quality, are to be found in a survey of the
city. 'Hundreds of families still are living in house trailers.
The city council might be hard pressed to prove its
claim that no housing shortage exists, but there will be
no need to prove or disprove the statement ,lf landlords
will exercise restraint in rental adjustments.' ;.
So, please, Mr. Landlord, take it easy.
About a year ago Smith college
arranged an exhibition of o u l
standing books in the past 75 years
written by women. They chose one
for each year, and published the
list in a catalogue. The list was
intensely interesting. Since the
collection was limited to one book
for each of the 75 years, it must
have been very difficult at times
to make the selections: think of
the thousands of books that have
poured out. of the binderies! I
almost said millionsl
Book lists always interest me,
even if I can read so few of the
books. For one thing it is a great
comfort in these troublous times
to realize that in just about every
best-seller list is one or more book
with a religious theme and of
course, even if it is not listed on
current lists, we all know and
give thanks to the fact that the
Holy Bible is of all books the best
seller! Year after year after year
. . .the uinie!
In the trade-journal magazines
for writers one reads again and
again that religious themes are
wanted now, not only in the novel
type of book but in the straight
non-fiction class. There must be
a reason, and the reason would
seem to be that the uncertainties
THE WORLD TODAY
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Should Washington decide to re
verse the policy of no arms aid
to the Chinese Nationalists on For
mosa, that would fit a widespread
western belief that Red China must
be restrained from aggressive ad
ventures. We may hear more relative lo
that point when W. Averoll Har
riman, President Truman's new
special assistant on foreign af
fairs, returns from consultation
with Gen. MacArlhur in Tokyo.
Harriman has instructions to dis
cuss the whole Far Easlh-rn polit
ical situation with the general.
Communist China, despite her
huge sizo and population of half a
billion has given plenty of evidence
that she has ambitions for extend
ing her dominion and influence
Moreover, as a hand and glove
partner of Kussia she is the ful
crum which Moscow may well at
tempt to use to pry loose other
Asiatic countries, one at a time.
Apropos of such possibilities John
Osborne, senior correspondent for
Life magazine in the Far East,
makes pertinent comment. After
visiting Manila, Hong Kong, For
mosa and Tokyo, he reports that
the most Interesting point of gen
eral agreement there is this:
"The Chinese Communists are
committed to the conquest, by any
necessary means, of all Asia. They
are su dedicated, of course, in be
half of and by the will of the Soviet
Union. But they also are committed
in their own interest. For quite
apnrt from Moscow's direction and
material aid, Chinese Communism
has a might and a momentum of
lis own.
Coveted
So far as concerns Formosa last
stand of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-
Shek's Nationalist government
both Moscow and Peiping want it.
Peiping claims it as Chinese terri
tory, and Russia desires control be
cause of the big island's great
value as a naval and military base.
Should Korea come under control
of the Russo-Chincse brotherhood,
that big peninsula would, with For
mosa, form powerful pincers which
could he used against the Japan
ese islands.
Red China has made little effort
to conceal her ambitions. As one of
her aims she has announced that
Tibet is lo he taken hack into the
Chinese fold, from which it escaped
at the time of the revolution of 1911.
However, that li rather mild a a
compared with some other proj
ects. One hot snot, which well typifies
the whole China-Russian program
In Asia, It British controlled Mala
ya. This is one of the world's
richest countries, rubber and tin
being its chief assets. One ihird of
all the globe's natural rubber (an
essential in modern war) comes
from there, and one half of the tin.
Moreover, Malaya not only is a
great prize economically but mili
tarily. The British point out that
if the Reds could gain control of
Malaya they would neutralize Sing
spore, Britain's great naval and
air Dase at tne up oi me peninsula
A salient fact in this situation is
that out of some 6,000,000 people
in Malaya, 2.615,000 are Chinese.
A large proportion of them were
born in Malaya, but naturally the
danger of their being oriented to
outside loyalties has increased with
the communization of neighboring
China.
Overtime
The Chino-Bussian partnership is
taking full advantage of this situa
tion and is working overtime to pull
Malaya into the Red fold. This is
being done partly by the usual
fifth-column methods, but the Brit
ish say Chinese terrorists are play
ing a big role, many of them
coining from outside Malaya. The
threat of communism in that coun
try, it is added, is one of coercion
rather than conviction.
There are numerous other danger
spots notably Indochina, where
major warfare is developing rapid
lya fact which increases the anx
iety of the West regarding Pi
ping's intentions.
of modern living especially since
worm war 11 are driving people
to find relief from pressure in a
renewal of the faith in the heart
of each one. -
In emergencies strong men turn
to prayer. 1 like to remember tha
fact that when our lounding
fathers were in a seemingly hope
less deadlock in framing the Con
stitution, it was suggested that all
turn to God in prayer. And after
this was done, things went more
smoothly the task was accom
plished. Our very country, our na
tional life, was built upon devout
prayer by strong men who were
not afraid to admit their need of
divine guidance.
How could we , face the days
right now without the comforting
sustenance of prayer? What better
preparation can we give the
younger generation than to gently
lead them through the pages of
the Scriptures, and to fortify their
hearts for whatever may lie ahead
by making sure that the Bible's
precious passages, strengthening
promises, and comforting assur
ance are a -part of their think
ing? In times of stress the brother
hood of man is truly revealed.
Who could forget the story of the
"Four Chaplains?"
Oldtr Registrants Obey
Rules Of 1940 Draft Act
Oregon state headauarters. Sel
ective Service system, announced
that the local boards ot the state
were receiving information in con
nection with changes of address
marital status, etc.. from men
who were registered under the 1940
act but who were too old to regis-
ter under the 1948 act.
"It is rather a healthy sign
Colonel Francis W. Mason, deputy
state director, said, "as it indi
cates that the general public is
gradually awakening to the fact
that registrants under the Selec
tive Service act must keep their
local boards advised of all
changes,"
Colonel Mason continued that the
only men in whom Selective Ser
vice is now interested are those
born after Aug. 30, 1922. "Until
such time as the congress enacts
legislation raising the age for reg
istration." he concluded, "these
older men have no responsibility
under the existing statute."

(Continued from page One)
one of the mcst useful tactics the
reds have nan. in sen aeiense,
we've been driven to ordering ci
vilians out of the battle areas
AND T1IFCN ORDERING OUR
SOLD1KBS TO SHOOT ANY CI
VILIANS FOUND THERE.
Do you reckon our boys will
obev the orders?
Not yet. They haven't become
sufficiently hardened. But THEY
WILL IN TIMF-. They'll have to.
War just does things like that to
people. Self-preservation is the first
law of nature.
Radioactive Phosphorous
Will Tag Mosquitoes
TURLOCK. Calif - (.Ft - There
will be a million "hot" mosquitoes
around here in the next few days.
Each will be tagged with a shot
of radioactive phosphorus.
Then they will be trapped over
a 10-mile radius. Ueigrr counters
and other atomic detecting gad
gets will identify them. Thus scien
tists will learn how fast and how
far the pests travel.
Mr. Trilton L. Halverson, state
director of public health, said the
experiment is the first use o f
radioactive materials to tag mos
quitoes in pursuit of information
about their habits.
The experiment will help check
the suspicion that the type found
her might be a carrier of sleep
ing sickness.
A million mosauito larvae have
bees collected in big tinkt.
There was a time when war
and chivilary wore companion
words Ike ham and eggs. Back in
the time of King Arthur and his
Round Table, for instance. If Sir
Galahad were jousting and his op
ponent's horse stumbled Sir Gala
had RAISED HIS LANCE and
rode by and gave his opponent an
other crack at him.
We Americans applaud that
spirit.
BUT LISTEN:
If Sir Galahad had been joust
Ing with a Communist, and the
Communist's horse had stumbled,
and Sir Galahad had raised his
lance and ridden by, THE COM
MUNIST WOULD HAVE TURNED
AROUND AND STABRED SIR
GALAHAD IN THE BACK.
Well, you say, what would you
have our boys do? Start shooting
down innocent non-combatants?
1 don't know.
I don't think I could shoot down
innocent non-combatants as you
would shoot down a skunk caught
prowling around your hen-house.
I doubt if our boys can do it
YET!
But it poses a problem. We
mustn't ever forget that in fight
ing Communists, especially Com
munists of Mongol descent, we re
fighting a different kind of enemy.
Still
Down in Arizona in the early
days, Geronimo was a pretty
tough opponent. His ways, and the
ways of his Apache braves,
weren't nice. It makes our blood
run cold, even yet, to read about
them.
But
In time, we licked Geronimo.
