STANTON We learn from the Hr.ruld and Nam, Klamath Falls, that ita editor, Bill Jenkins, and Wendell Webb, managing editor of the Oregon Stutcmnan, Salem, are debating about girls. And at their age, too! Wendell, forced into accompanying his young daughter to a high school basketball game, began wondering whether . the girls of today are prettier than when he went to high , school,! or whether it is just his age making it seem that way. Dill insists it isn't a matter of age, but that girls to day actually are more beautiful than were their mothers at the same age. lieing older in years than either of our fellow editors, we feel it imperative on our part to horn into the argument. Not that we claim to be an authority about women. The older we get the less we know about that subject. But we feel that our fellow editors should be cautioned ' against hasty judgment, based on superficialities. As edi tors, they know they should not let surface indications de termine final conclusions. Are today's girls more beautiful than those of yester day? We utter a vehement negation. True, today'g girl knows how to display her beauty. She is adept In the use of cosmetics and beauty aids. She learns her sophistication earlier than did her mother. But is she more or less beautiful than the girls of generations past? Again the answer, on both counts, is no. Must Consider Attitude To start our fellow editors on an objective analysis of their topic for debate, we ask a question. When they at tended high school were they interested in girls as a group, or were their interests centered on one particular girl one at a time, we mean? The answer is obvious. At high school age, girls are girls. Only the one currently pursued is of special interest. And high school males are not always truly appreciative of beauty. A man docs not really become a true connoisseur of beauty until he puis on bifocals. Not that bifocals have any thing to do with education, but by that time his age makes him less critical and more appreciative. .. Let our troubled, truth-seeking contemporaries dig more deeply into their research. They will find the truth in their own homes. Let them produce old class pictures. Imagine the feminine loveliness of yesterday's high school girls given the beauty aids and practices of today's young women. We'll admit there isn't much glamour portrayed in the photo of the. bloomer-clad junior class girls' basketball team. But picture those same gals in Bikini bathing suits. Still doubtful? Recall that in the "good old days" girls didn't paint their faces. The gal with bobbed hair just wasn't consid ered respectable. Slacks, levis, dungarees still were mas culine apparel and, even with the tolerance of advancing age, we sometimes wish after seeing certain exhibits, that they still were. Nor did yesterday's girl have the benefit of various aids, now widely advertised, to disguise the im perfections of human form. But they did a good job of im provising. The Judgment Of Age As we look upon the argument advanced by our fellow editors, Wendell has almost reached the bifocal stage, while Bill refuses to admit he's getting old. Wendell is wondering if maybe it isn't his age that causes him to believe today's girls are prettier than those of yesterday. We can assure him he is on a warm track. Bill declares, without qualification, that they are pret tier, thus admitting to the neutral observer that he, too, is getting old, whether he is willing to admit it or not. When we begin to realize that ALL girls are beautiful, we are approaching the age of maturity. By their admissions that thev recognize the beaut v of today's girls, our fellow editors ing that they love and are beauty of the individual. Instead they look with pleasure ! upon n group, rending- into the beauty of form nud face those womanly graces that have lilessed their own lives. They sec in all young women, the source of happiness that lias been brought to them personally by the women be they one month or one hundred of years of age who have loved them and whom they love. The beauty of mother, wife and daughter is changeless throughout the ages. Only as age sharpens our appreciation of beauty do we find in ail womankind the attributes of those who influence us most. Are today's girls more beautiful than those of vester- day? Ask ten high school boys at random. We'll wager two-to-one the majority answer will be: "Aw Nuts!" Recorded Attack On Eleanor Roosevelt Assailed WASHINGTON I.!"' R p. Rcva Heck Bosone (D-l'tah) has accused Rep. Velde ( K -111 t of "a lack of courage" for having in- erled in the congressional record I an attack on Mrs. Eleanor Roose velt. She referred to a one-minute speech made Tuesday by Velde, top Republican on the house un American activities committee, and said Velde "apparently did not shv on the floor of the l!mie the statement that is written in the 1 t-vui u. She quoted Velde as having put this statement in the record: "The Influence of Eleanor Roose velt in the promotion of commu nism and immorality and inde cency among so-called minority groups in Washington should be explored."

It Was CD In The Day's News By FRANK (Continued from page Onei lature, which is in session, a bill to remove from the governor the to call a special election to fill the vacancy that would occur if . .. aior vanuenoer? snouid resign. The Republicans, you see, know they haven't a chance if the gov ernor fills the vacancy (if it occurs) and think they may have a chance in an election. I'm not much of a politician. I greatly admire Senator Vanden berg. I would like very much for his health to take a turn for the i belter so that he could resume his j old posilion of statesmanlike lead-' ership in the senate. But if he has to be replaced I'd like to see him replaced by Republican. I have the strong feeling that the Democratic party has held too much power too long. There is a straw in the political winds. In the lllh congressional district of Missouri, there was a special election to fill a vacancy in the house of representatives caused by the death of the Democratic incum bent. The district is traditionally Dem-1 ocratic. Last November the l)eiu-l pPl( By Viahnett S. UarUrt This thing we call our American he held it level in his hand.

That need, he added, is now gone, lie concluded: "With an 11-month school year, students could finish hih school at 16 and college at 19." If you have children in school, you won't like the idea. If you are a teacher, you won't like the idea. Maybe none of us will like President Smith's idea. Hut, at least, we'll all have to admit that it is a challenging sug gestion.

The telegrams were addressed to Emil Rieve. president of the CIO Textile Workers union, and Fran cis White, president of the Ameri can Woolen company. The wire continued: "Our new troops must have clothing, blan kets and other woolen items. It is imperative that a way be found at once to restore production in mills working on military orders." Earlier Tuesday, the army said clothing for soldiers is in such short supply that a conservation program among troops in the United States is being adopted. Ample supplies of clothing will continue to go to troops in Korea, the army said. Company Defends Stand American Woolen President White made public this reply to Pace: "The work stoppage in the woolen mills is a strike called to enforce excessive and illegal de mands. The company has offered all that the law allows and has of fered to reopen negotiations if the law is changed. We are ready to reopen mills at once on the basis of our offer." The company said it granted a 12 cents an-hour increase in Octo ber and was willing to give an additional five cents an hour. It added that under the wage sta bilization formula it was not per- I M-,nwhne in New York the ! pcaicMo the owners of the 160 struck mills to resume wage negotiations "for the sake of the industry, the workers and the nation."

Lawmaker Aims At Reduction Of U.S. Agencies WASHING!" .P ' Rep. Armstrong (R-Mol announced lie is drafting a series of bills to abolish or consolidate some 20 fed eral Government apeneies tie said he would introduce one each week, beginning at once. The move is designed to cut non defense spending "to the bone." Armstrong said, adding he is ac cepting President Truman's "chal lenge" to members of Congress to trim his $71,000,000,000 budget. Armstrong said he knew the temper of taxpayers and "dared" the President to "try and stop me and others of my colleagues of both parties who are determined to fry the f;,t out of wasteful fed eral expenditures." The first bill for introduction calls for abolishing the Bureau of I '"d'ati Affairs through liquidation of its activities over three-year period. "This is the first of my bills to eliminate obsolete and needless functions entirely," Armstrong said. The Missourian said that in 1945, he made a survey of the work of the Indian office for a scries of magazine articles, visiting numer ous Indian reservations. He found, he said, that "the more civilized the Indians had be come and the less need there was for the bureau to look after them. Ihe more the Indian office expanded and the more it was costing." In 1925 the Indian office em ployed 4.708 persons while in 1951 it had grown to 13,000, he said. The 192.1 appropriation for it was Stl.500.lXH) and for this fiscal year essential to Indians, ne asserted, and his bill would tra.isfer all such services to the stattj with federal aid to be furnished, if necessary, is time to do what should have been done 50 years ago." he said: "set the Indians free from bureaucratic control and let them be full American citizens."
