G o o 12 The News-Review, RoMburg, Or Tiwt April 10. 151 Odds Against World War CHICAGO Harold E. Stas en says that the odds are against woild war in the next three yean. The president of (lie 1'niversity of Pennsylvania told the Execu tives club of Chicago: "Careful study convinces me that if the Soviet Union starts a war at any time in the next three years, Russia will be destroyed at home by American air and atomic strength and will face a counter revolution of many millions of peo ple now imprisoned in her empire. "The Kremlin leaders know this, and therefore I place the long odds on no world war in the next three years.' Stassen said that the free nations of the world "can and should be able to place in the field through out the world 190 excellent well armed divisions within three years." The United Slates, he said, should furnish approximately one eighth of this manpower and sup ply about one-fourth of the mod- a esse ccic & Next 3 Ytars Stasstn lorn arms for these forces of the free nations. :(i)lWet: : ABE : ; C3BC7 Morse Telegraph Key Men To Meet Morse telegraph operators, old and young, aclively engaged at the kev.

Nation's Morals No Worse; Vigilance Merely Greater, Explanation Of Executive By R ELM AH MORIN NEW YORK AP) One day recently thousands jf newspapers, mirroring life in the United States, showed a nation with a dirty face. On that single day, published side by side, were reports headed "visa racket uncovered in V. S. consoluate," "three more arrested in basketball fix," "special Treasury squads to probe gangster incomer," "anastasia seized for illegal entry," "police official hunted." Crime, influence and scandal vir Pricing Rules For Wool Yarns, Textiles Slated WASHINGTON (IP) A pricing i porter they expect failure to renew tually blotted everything else from the front page and the public mind. In Washington on that day the Kcfauver committee was continu ing an inquiry that had held mil lions of Americans spellbound for weeks. On that same day, Sen. William Fulbright, whose committee had been studying the pattern of i n fluence on the R.F.C., issued a startling warning that public immorality concerns much more than domestic politics. He said: "Without confidence in their gov ernment, the people will not make the sacrifices necessary to oppose Russia successfully." What has happened to American public morality? Is thi the century of cynicism dominated by the philosophy of the fix, has a black bag, contain ing the pay-off, become the great seal of the United States? ur is this . perennial condition A Kit 15 r-V Y0UR BUGGY BUGGERED?, Does your cor sartor from ruittd fondtrs, canted doors, crumpltd trunk' LIT US MAKI IT LOOK LIKI c A'stMooa 0 All Work Guorontoed.

It doesn't make much sense to permit betting at the track and forbid it outside the track." Public Partly To Blame What's the explanation of the basketball "fix"? A generation ago, it was popularly believed a college athlete would die rather than throw a game. "That isn't so much the result of a lowering of individual standards as it is of professionalizing col lege sports," Swope said. "T h coaches can't avoid some of the responsibility for that sid' of it. And neither can the people who demand a winning team or elseJ it so Happens that regulation for wool yarn and tex tiles expected to clear the way for manufacture of civilian wool cloth ing next fall is due lo be issued this week by the Office of Price Stabilization, probably Thursday. The order, expected to be of fective next Monday, has been signed by price Director Michael V. DiSaile. It will cover yarns and fabrics containing 25 percent ur more wool. One OPS official aaid the order is designed to clear the way for manufacturers of wool cloth and yarn to fulfill contract commit ments. Many mills, he said, have sh'pped little or no wool cloth for civilians since the general p r i ce freeze. Shipments have been made for military use because under an exemption from the general price freeze order the Defense depart ment has been able to buy fab rics at higher prices than manufac turers of suits and wool clothing for civilians. This exemption, however, ex pired April 1 and OPS says there are no plans to renew it. Several OPS officials told a re- this exemption may have a two fold effect in helping manufactur ers of civUfan clothing to get more materials. They said it should re store more normal distribution o f wool cloth and possibly help bring down prices of the raw wool mar ket. An official noted that raw wool ; prices have increased about 12S 1 percent since the Korean outbreak. NOW OPIH Ueeimj mm Sawmill lauiomont o Specialty. SUKPRISf VALLEY WELDING SHOP H. I.

He Number Of Farms Declines Sharply WASHINGTON (IP) -The number of farms in Washington andj- Oregon declined sharply in the years following World War II, preliminary figures from the 1950 census of agriculture showed to day. Census Bureau Director Roy V. Peel said the drop in line with a national trend. Peel said the tentative count nationally was 5.379.013, down at least 280,000 for the first five postwar years and at least 500,000 for the last decade. ,The number of farms in Wash ington dropped from 81.686 Sfi 1940 lo 79,887 in 1945 and 69.809 in 1950. The number of farms in Oregon rose from 61.829 reported in 1940 to 63,125 in 1945 but dropped to 59,802 in 1950. Peel said a trend toward com bining small farms to form large Disston Chain Saws ONE in.

Nation More Vigilant Herbert Bayard Swope is a New York business executive who hap looked at public life and of ficialdom from several different points of vantage. He was a news paperman, a public official, an ad visor to officials and for It years chairman of the New York State Racing commission. "Public morals are no worse," he saitl. "What has happened is that we have become) more vigi lant, with a higher standard of ex pectation." As evidence, he cited the exam ples of influence, bribery and cor ruption that go all the way back to the earliest American federal and state governments. "It may be that we are more cynical today. But we are also more wetchful. Remember there was a time when you could be hanged for stealing a cow. In other words, the standard of ethics anil morals changes. But it isn't any easier to get away with something these days. It's harder. Sooner or later, the spotlight is sure to get around to the man who tries. Crime Chance Expand Swope said the effort to obtain influence in government, either by buying it or through some other means, is not new, either. "What is new is that govern ment is very much bit!Kcr today than ever before," he said. "As it gets bigger, it gets wider in the opportunities for graft. Apparently there are just that many more peo ple in office who are susceptible. "Hence, simply berause of t h e greater size, you hear of more ex amples. But the methods are the same, at least in principle." Swope did not agree with the Kefauver witness whit described gambling aa "a biological neces sity." "It Isn't aa strong as that," he said. "It seems to be a human in stinct. People apparently wast to gamble, and I am not at all sure that that la a breach of basic mo rality." "People intlulge It by placing a bet on a horse race with a bookie. Book making is supposed to be the basic cause of pay offs lo the po lice. "In that case, remove the police- said this was most pronounced west of the Mississippi river. Census takers also noticed a trend away from tenant farming, and a trend away from produc tion of food for home use or sale. Peel said the latter trend resulted from acquisition of farm land by cily dwellers for residential uses on!y, and rural people taking jobs in nearby city industries and drop ping production of food.
