Wilson, mobilization director, haa requested states and smaller governmental corporations to obtain fed eral "clearance" on bond issues, veterans' bonuses, new construction projects and other expenditures exceeding ' $1,000,000. Such expenditures, says Wilson, are inflationary. By putting more money in circulation, they add to the coun try's inflationary spiral. We find our fellow editors risinjj in wrath to denounce Wilson's quasi order. Hut we must admit that Wilson's claim of contributing to inflation has its points. Oregon, for instance, is proposing to spend $ 10.000,000 on new highway construction. Included in the tentattve pro gram is a project for four-lane approaches to Koseburg. If and when those roads are built, a tarmer irom vvnour win probably save 25 cents on every trip, through relief of traf fic congestion, ability to operate his vehicle at its most economical speed, and saving of wear and tear on brakes and rubber. If 100 Wilbur farmers come to Koseburg, they will save a total of $25.00 which they might spend foolishly. A lumber truck, traveling the same route, probably would save as much as $1.00. During the peak of the log hauling season, lumber trucks average about one per min ute past the Roseburg post office. We're not mathematician enough to figure that one out with our shoes on, but just look at the inflationary possibilities! Why a log hauling op. erator might even save enough to pay his income taxes with out borrowing from the bank! Pity Tht Poor Housewife! Think of the inflationary potential as it applies to the housewife who drives to the market to pick up her federally-controlled foodstuffs. If she traveled a four-lane high way, she might save a dime to offset some of the boost in prices resulting from control tu. ...;... .....,... ;. ;..

Tens of thousands of people will be thronging our vacation resorts, beaches and streams, spending vacation money, buying groceries, equipment, supplies and gasoline, while saving the cost incident to bad roads and traffic con gestions, It is unthinkable that And if we pay the soldiers homes or buy washing machines and automobiles. If all that money is spent on construction and in giving bonuses to deserving vets, while farmers and housewives, tourists and Sunday drivers save money by driving on bet ter roads, and that money goes into local business opera tions., to create more jobs and improve payrolls, people might have enough money to pay taxes on schools, roads, city budgets and cigarets. Uncle Sam Needs The Dough The federal government already Is bleeding the lo cal governments white. While people show reluctance to support moderate local midgets, the federal government tosses out tax money with both hands, seizes profits and surpluses and still cries for more to buy pastel mink coats and deep fretvers.

Fulton Lewis Jr. mi Heretofore unpublished committee in 1946 reveals members of Congress then an attack by Chinese troops. I Aclrari if thro waa mnu u,v fUm! Asked if there was any way the U. S. could have an agreement with f'hina lavhei-iahv h unnlrl nnt iim her arms against us, Acheson re - pnea: "I think we can rest assured that the Chinese will not do that. If you mean that the Chinese would attack us, I do not think so." This is the fame diplomatic gen- ius who now says he is nht on Korea and Gen. Douglas MacAr- tnur is wrong. In this he has the iun support or rresiaeni iruman and Secretary of Defense Georze C. Marshall. And just to prove that Acheson and the State department are not the only ones stupid about commu nism in China and elsewhere, the same testimony which to this day has never been made a part of any public record reveals that the War and Navy depart ments shared Acheson's views in 1946. In fact the War, Navy and Slate departments, with Marshall nod ding his assent from his vantage point as chief of the special 1946 mission to China, asked Congress for authority to arm and train 10 Chinese Communist divisions. The reason they wanted to use Ameri can officers and American money to train the ten divisions was that tha Communists asked them for help. So help me, it's all in the ! record. Here is Acheson's testimony on thi little deal: 'With the support of the War and Navy departments, the State de ' partment has requested legislation to provide advice and assistance to 1 China. The Communist forces were lacking in the type of organiza tion training and equipment which : would have made practicable their incorporation into the new non -political national army. Therefore, : the Communist leaders have I asked, and General Marshall has ; agreed, that their integration with the other forces be preceded by a brief period of United States train ing, and by the supply of mini mum quant. i.s of equipment." This unpublished record reveals probably the most brazen attempt ever made by Acheson to aid the Communists directly and in the I open. He used the aging Gen. Mar shall as a shield for his plan to train and equip Communist divi sions in China. The Stale depart I ment, he testified, "has very great i concern that Gen. Marshall's task be facilitated in carrying out the program he has proposed." Later in his testimony, Acheson said that training the Communists "is contemplated in the military re organization program sponsored by General .Marshall," and that it would be of the "greatest benefit to ( mna." Members of the committee smelled a rat. however, despite Acheson's assertions that the whole idea belonged to Marshall. Later questioning brought out the fact that the State detriment wrote the bill containing the proposal to arm and train 10 Chinese Red di visions, 'for the benefit of China." When asked on June U, 1946, if any U. S. officers were already helping to train Chinese Commu nist troops, Acheson said no. The truth is that & American officers had already been assigned to aid the Communist!. Marshall had or dered the Americans to get to gether with the Keds despite the fact that he had no authority to do so. In fact, he never did get authority from Congress to help the Chinese Communists in lay manner, shape r form. A number of congressmen are still puzled about what happened to Acheson's bill to aid Commu nist troops in China. After several days of hearings before the foreign affairs committee nf the House, the hill was suddenly buried, never to be seen or heard of again. One theory is that the Chinese Communists sent word along that they could take over China without the help of Acheson or .Marshall.

Jean Sul pice, who probably was a French man, had this to say about table manners in UW: "ll is wrong to grab your food with both hands at once: meat shgtild be taken with three fingers, and too much should not be put in the mouth at the same time."
