SPIRITUAL ARCHITECT
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Election by the Junior chamber of commerce of tne
Rev. W. A. MacArthur as Roseburg'g junior first citizen
will be approved by all city resident familiar with
"Mac's" activities.
It is seldom that ministers are selected for special
honor because of civic work. PaRtors of large churches,
merely attending to their pastoral duties, normally do
more work than any one individual should be expect?l to
perform. Consequently few have time for the civic tasks
they would like to undertake.
We are amazed by "Mac's" capacity for work. His
congregation is large and busy, demanding much pastoral
attention. Yet he is an able leader and a participant in
nearly every church event and activity. His scholarly mes
sages at scheduled services indicate much study and
preparation. The spirit and enthusiasm of the member
ship of his congregation show that he has neglected none
of his responsibilities as a spiritual leader.
Despite his diligence as a minister, he finds time for
work with the chamber of commerce, Red Cross, Com
munity Chest, Kiwanis club, schools, youth groups and
other civic bodies. He also appears frequently as spewkir
or master of ceremonies at various public meetings or
programs sponsored by organizations.
It may be news to some of his friends that "Mac" was
a student of architecture prior to entering the ministry.
He has chosen, however, to apply his knowledge and bound
less energy to the building of character and a better com
munity rather than to the erection of material structure?.-
BAD NEWS FOR ERRANT FATHERS
Circuit Judge Carl E. Wimberly does not claim to be
an orator, but upon occasion he does a rare job of giving
constructive advice to a culprit, or verbally flaying a male
factor. ' We recall one particular case in which the prisoner
had deserted his family, leaving his wife and several small
children penniless. We wish we had recorded the judge's
words, but we were so enthralled by the oral cast'gation
we forgot for the moment our job as a reporter.
The theme was that in the animal kingdom man is
the only beast that ever forsakes its young. That lower
animals will starve themselves to feed their offspring; will
risk any danger for the sake of their ynunir. A man who
deserts his children, said the judge, is the lowest and most
degraded of all animals and no punishment is too severe.
The present session of the Oregon legislature Vm be
fore it a bill which will make punishment of family tie.
serters more certain.
Men now can leave their families and flee to other
' states, whereupon it becomes a costly and difficult pro
cedure to bring them to justice.
A bill introduced by Senator Jack Lynch would mnke
' an order from an Oregon court enforceable in other states
having substantially similar or reciprocal laws. Many
states now are adopting this ki.id of legislation. If Ore
gon joins, courts Vill be in a far better position to pro
tect abandoned children and relieve the welfare agency
, of a heavy load.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950. the Oregon
State Public Welfare commission paid out $4.208.558.t8 for
' aid to dependent children, the grants involving 3,833 fam
ilies and 9,549 children. In addition, approximately 1,000
. children received state aid through child caring agencies
and 1,016 were cared for in foster welfare homes. All of
this cost does not result from desertion on the part of the
father, but a considerable portion could be eliminated
, through reciprocal legislation by the various states.
ESTHER GEDDES REPORTS
We are glad that Esther tleddes has consented again
to report legislative sidelights for The Ncwu-Rrriew
Esther's column during the 1919 session was more
widely quoted in the state press than offerings from any
of the reports by special writers covet-in the legislature.
But more important than general acceptance of her
comments , by the press was the fact that through her iol
umn she succeeded in creating more public interest in ilie
work of the session. Many of our subscribers told us that
they followed legislative proceedings much closer than ever
before, because of interest developed through reading Mrs.
Gcddes' column.
She combines a keen sense of observation and I'ti.'il

enjoyable style.
Small Business Assured Share Of Defense Contracts

He save that pledge in testimony
for the senate's small business

voiced the fear that small n tu
facturers may he put out of busi

China's Rejection Of Bid
To Cease Fire
United Nations In Hot Spot
By JOHN M. H1GHTOWER
WASHINGTON AP The question of what to do
about Red China's aggression in Korea, now that pence
moves have failed, threatens to split the free world.
Secretary of State Acheson and other top officials are
said to be keenly aware of the dangers(of a showdown
and are proceeding with caution to draft in cooperation
with other nations a U.N. resolution indicting the Reds.
As
result the wording of the
resolution may he less blunt than
Washington would prefer, in the
hope of winning support from as
many U.N. members as possible.
But even so it will force the issue
will make he nations at New
York stand up and he counted on
doing something about the Chi
nese war in Korea.
The possibility that at least
one important country, heretofore
counted in the anti-communist co
alition in the U.N., may vote "no"
was indicated by Prime Minister
Nehru of India. Nehru said in

unrealistic. They believe that
when the showdown comes, a firm

reading! The pages are typewriter
paper size, widely margined, triple
spaced between paragraphs, and
look just like beautifully typed
pages. Whoever was responsible
for the setting up of the report did
much to make it attractive to the
eye and that means much to peo
ple who have to wade through a
veritable surf of print, as most
people do these days.
My ideas about the Holy report
were not too clear, so I gladly
accepted the loan of a copy from
Mr. Kenneth Barneburg, county
school superintendent. However, I
wasn't quite as confused as the
woman he told about who refused
to have anything to do with the
Holy report; she didn't believe in
putting religion into the schools!
At the request of the legislature,
the state board of education al
located SM.ooo for this survey.
Surely careful consideration of the
findings is to the interest of every
citizen of Oregon. The report points
out the present good features of
our school system; then suggests
changes in poor features for the
better. Anything concerning t h e
welfare of our children is of pri
mary importance to all of us: the
Holy report is therefore interesting
reading!
In Korea Puts
The Pciping radio had just broad
cast an announcement rejecting
the U.N. ceasefire proposal of
last Saturday and offering a counter-pro
posal.
Acheson evidently feared that if
the U.S. position was left long in
doubt other countries might begin
to waver and wonder whether
there mijht not be some easy
way out of the dangerous Korean
crisis in the counter-proposal.
He issued a statement calling
the Peiping reply a complete re-

nese communists hive no intention

U.N. will lie in tht firmness and
unity with whicfl we now move
ahead."
Several points in the Reds'o;fer

U.S. Economy's
Strength Pointed
Out By Truman
i WASHINGTON (. Presi
dent Truman has offered some
comparisons to bolster his asser
tion that the American economy is
thoroughly sound and capable of
growing even stronger.
He said Friday in his economic
message that:
1. The nation's total output is
more than 50 percent higher than
10 years ago, farm production is
up 25 percent, civilian employment
has increased by 13 million, steel
capacity is up more than 20 per
cent, oil refining capacity is up
40 percent and electric power ca
pacity has climbed 70 percent.
2. In the five years since V-J
day brought an end to war produc
tion, private enterprise has in
vested more than $90,0o0.000,000 in
plant and equipment. Total manu
facturing capacity has gained by
between 25 and 30 percent, civilian
employment in late 1950 was eight
million above the peak year of
World War II and output per man
hour has advanced by about 10
percent.
3. During the last six months
of 1950, private investment in con
struction, equipment and additions
to inventorv reached a record an
ual rate of $53,000,000,000. Tht
total output of goods and services
is now running at an annual rate
more than 10 percent above the
average for 1949. More people wert
in civilian jobs at the peak of 1950
employment than ever before.
4. By the end of this year, Amer
icans "can and should" achieve
an annual rate of tolal output mora
than seven percentbove the cur
rent level. They must work to in
crease the total productive strength
by at least 25 percent Within the
nex five years.
' Mr. Truman's message summed
up the task of confronting tht na
tion and said:
! "There is no question that mir
! economy can sustain the great ex
! ertions outlined above, and still
! remain strong and grow stronger.
I l ne past periormance ana present j
condition of the American economy
make this plain." '

China's Peace Terms Would
Erase Hope Of Nationalists,
Expose Formosa To Red Grab
By DEWITT MacKENZIE
V ' AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
An ambitious Red China, its confidence bolstered by
Moscow's hand upon its shoulder, has (as forecast by. thi
column) rejected the U.N. proposal for a cease fire in
Korea and has countered with demands of a conqueror.
The Peiping proposal in effect calls for the recogni
tion of Red .China to the exclusion of Chiang Kai-Shek's
nationalist regime, which is now cooped up on the island
of Formosa. This means that the Communists would be
given China'a seat in the U.N.
NATIONALIST China is polished
off politically by the provisions
for i seven nation conference
which would be held on Chinese
Communist territory. Chiang's re
gime would be excluded, the con
ferees besides Red China being
the Soviet Union, America,
France, Britain, India and Egypt.
The coup de grace for National
ist China is contained in the stipu
lation that the conference must bt
preceded not only by the with
drawal of all foreign troops from
Korea, but by the withdrawal of
American naval forces from the
vicinity of Formosa. This Formo
san qualification obviously is cal
culated to achieve a Double ob
ject: 1. It would render Chiang Im
potent to move his forces from
the island for an attack against
the Reds on the mainland.
2. By stripping the Nationalists
of American protection it would
lay them open to attack by the
Russian backed Chinese Commun
ists. Nt Paact Dtsirt Sttn
All of this was, of course, to be
expected when the cease-fire pro
posals were submitted to Peiping.
There has been nothing to en
courage Ihe belief that the Reds
would feel it profitable for them
to abandon their invasion of Ko
rea. They have a million anil a
half fighting men available. That
is, they have the United Nations
forces outnumbered S to 1.
Only a Chinese desire for peace
(which doesn't exist) would per-
suade them to stop their attack
under such circumstances bar
ring bribery by great concessions.
Their sweeping counter proposals

prepared to bargain.

In Longevity Aim
MENLO, Ga. (.pi Luther
Ratliff, 65, hasn't eaten for 36
days, he says, and expects to fin
ish a 40-day fast Jan. 23 "in a
breeze."
Ratliff, an unmarried salesman
began his fast Dec. 14 to "cleanse"
his body so that he may liv
long life.
The only thing he's taken in his
mouth has been water.
Weakened and emaciated, he
scent most of Thursday in bed for
the first time since he started ab
staining from food. He said he
had continued working until
Wednesday.
He told interviewers he had
heard of Tibetans who had
achieved unbelievably long lives
ty periodic fisting. lie added he
believes his fast will result in liv

There also are religious reasons
for the fast. He explained:
"You know Paul said: 'give
yourselves to fasting and praver.'"
Asked if he had called a do-ior
to check his condition lately. Rat
liff said, "No; doctors say you
can't live but 14 days without
food."
Members of his family express
concern about his neing able to

this small north Georgia Commun

The father said, "Sure ht'U

You remember, I suppose, the old
story of the doleful faced farmer on
the road who when asked where he
was going answered: "I'm goin' to
town to git drunk and GOSH how
I dread it!"
That's about the way we all feel
about wage and price controls
with their probably inevitable ac
companiment of rationing.
BUT
It's now unavoidable. War and
preparation for war upset the law
of supply and demand and when
the law of supply and demand is
upset the free enterprise system
goes off its rocker.
This, too, is from Washington:
"Government food officials said

these months since Korea is hurry
ing to get ours while the getting

Americans aren't as bad as we ap
pear to be. When the bombs begin
to fall, the GOOD in us will come
out.
On that dread day, if it should
come, those who have freezers full
of meat will haul it out and give
it freely and gladly to those who
have none and ire hungry.
will be impelled to pick up where
it left off when the cease-fire pro
ject was first proposed. That
would mean considering an Amer
ican sponsored measure condemn
ing Communist China as an ag
gressor. The adoption of such grave con
demnation logically would be fol
lowed by some punitive measure.
This might take tht form of an
economic sanction.
The U.N. is In a tight corner.
The peace organization is in the
position of "being damned if it
does, and damned if it doesn't."

The measure, endorsed by fish

This division would receive the
same share of fishing and hunting

The 'drunk drivers now have

Under the proposed law, the sus
