Are we to be placed under the control of thought police? Is our military force to be organized as is Russia's with a political commissar holding authority over military experts? Has our welfare state reached the point where it is to permit us to hear only the propaganda it feeds us? These are some questions we should begin asking ourselves. Administration crackdowns on statements by Navy Sec retary Matthews and General MacArtluir are serious vio lations of American custom. It has always been generally accepted policy that the American people were qualified to sift and weigh opinions and facts and to act upon them in a reasonably intelligent manner. The right of free speech is guaranteed under our Constitution. That right should apply to all, including ofu cials of our armed services. President Truman and his State department have en dcavored to gag two men at organization. Because the experts did not follow the "party line," efforts were made to prevent their opinions from reaching the public. Fortunately a free press was not to be gagged and the public knows the opinions of these two men and those opinions sharply contradict State department pol icies. People Entitled To Hear Opinion It is of no concern whether we believe either General MacArthur or Secretary Matthews to be right or wrong in the opinions they express. Right or wrong, they are entitled to speak their minds. They are men in possession of facts known to but few people. They are in positions to formu late definite ideas concerning policies this country should fol low. The public should be permitted to hear these opinions, even if we do not all agree with them. If the American people are to have their sons and daughters drawn into military service, then they have -a right to know what military experts believe to be the proper course for us to follow in promoting our defense. The facts made available to us should not be based upon political ex pediency. Successfully fighting a war in Korea, and bring ing it to early completion, is far more important than the issue of who shall win the congressional election. Time For People To Act a In our opinion, it is high time the American people were putting an end to these tactics of administration lor the welfare of the pitrty i rather than the welfare of the country. It is time that we put into office men in whom we can impose trust and confidence. It is time to get back to Constitutional ways of government and to the traditionally American method of doing things. We can make a good start this fall. We should turn thumbs down on every candidate who even hints of follow ing the socialist line, the Welfare state, the New Deal, Fair Deal or any "deal" not strictly in accordance with tra ditional American policy. If American citizens ever had need to give thought to their ballots, now is the time. Our expression of determination to clcjui up our govern mental mess should start at the grans roots. We should elect, from the lowest to the highest nfjice in the land, only men in whom we can impose implicit confidence, knowing that they Hre candidates because they desire to "do a job" rather than to piny politics and ride on the socialistic band wagon.

Pacific Telephone Traffic Safetv it n campaign may oe Jaycee Project The civic minded Junior Cham ber of Commrece held its semi monthly meeting last night at the Umpqua hotel and discussed a highly significant problem of traf fic safety. According to Jack Towt. who is in charge of investigating the Roseburg traffic problem, the city is in definate need of a safety campaign. He noted that over the weekend five cases of drunken driving had come before the jus tice court as well as one reckless driver. For this reason, Towt said, it is necessary to institute a "saf ety drive to avert traffic acci dents." He said he has contacted the highway safely body in Sa'm and asked for recommendations relating to a possible campaign. On the agenda starting today is the Jaycee - sponsored driving school, reported Bill Endicott, chairman of the committee. The driving school will begin operation tonight at 7 o'clock with 16 women students. The necessity to teach women to drive was felt, according to Endicott, because of the im pending war situation which may take many husbands whose wives do not, know how to drive. The school will be conducted nights from 7:00 to 8:30 for a total of four weeks. On the social side, the Junior Chamber has planned a party to be held at the Moose hall Sept. 7 for members and their wvies and guests.
