In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS . -
For upwards of an hour this
morning, I've been reading the tel
etype trying to find something
worth writing a piece about. It's
slim pickings. All over the world,
everybody is scrapping everybody
else. About ill ANYBODY, ANY
WHERE, seems to want to do is
to bite somebody else in the leg.
How is anybody to write any
thing constructive about a mess
like that? What's wrong with us,
anyway?
At this moment, my eye lights on
a dispatch that has just come over
the wire from the town of Agana,
on the island of Guam. It says:
"Convinced after nearly six
years that the Pacific war is over,
a Japanese petty officer has
come out of his hideout on remote
Anatahan island ... He was con
vinced by 20U-odd letters from
home that the war REALLY is
over, so a few days ago he came
out of the brush and was picked

For New Water Pipeline
A franchise permitting the City
of Sutherlin to construct and main
tain a 14-inch water pipeline from
a point on Calipooia creek to Suth
erlin was granted Monday by the
county court.
The new line will replace the old
eight - inch line stretching about
eight miles from half a mile abov
Nonpareil, east of Sutherlin, to
the city limits.
Bonds were issued last fall by
the city to finance the construc
tion, which will get under way soon,
according to Sutherlin City Attor
ney Cari M. Felker.
The present water line was con
sidered inadeouate for Sutherlin's
present needs, Kelker said.
As required in the franchise, a
$5,000 bond has been posted by
th Great American Indemnity
company of New York.

This said the area of Manchuria,

deemed to be securely under Com

But in the areas of China to the
South, it said, there is still "a
chance of revolutionary repercus
sion against Communist tyranny
and imperialism." -
Badger said he had seen noth

I change his views.
Speaking generally, Badger also
told the senators the over-all ob
jectives of the U.S. should be to:
(1) "Create and maintain world
conditions so that Russia will deem
it unwise to undertake World War
III." and.
(2) "Initiate promptly and un
dertake those political, economic.

i lives which, in case of war with
I Soviet Russia, would permit us to
engage unaer tne mosi iavoraoie

Badger said he believes the "high
percentage of anti-Communist feel
ing in South China gives the pos
sibility of rolling the Iron Curtain
back at least to the Yangtze river
and of relieving the pressure from
the border nations of southeast
Asia.
"The recent Chinese reverses in
Korea are strengthening these
chance;," he declared, "the re

Cigaret Tax Not
Needed By State,
Gov. McKay Says
KLAMATH FALLS P) Gov.
Douglas Mc Kay virtually gave ef
forts to repeal the recently - en
acted 3-cent per package cigaret
tax his tacit blessing here when
he told delegates to the Oregon
Federation of Labor convention the
state would be financially solvent
for the -current biennium with
out the tax.
Income and corporation tax col
lections are considerably higher
than expected. Gov. McKay said,
and the state's budget can be bal
anced even if the cigaret tax is
repeated.
But, he warned, the Oregon leg
islature in 1953 will be faced with
a serious financial problem, prob
ably a minimum deficit of $45,
000.000, which will have to be met
by new taxes.
The Portland Central Labor
council has put nut petitions in an
effort to referend and defeat the
cigaret tax and the federation
is considering a resolution against
it.
In his talk, the governor touched
on international as well as state
problems and warned against hys
teria and fright. Convention dele
gates stood and applauded when
he said:
"The Russians can't lick us in
a hundred years and neither can
anyone else ... if this country
ever goes down it will be because
of apathy, because we're not will
ing to make sacrifices needed
to preserve our way of life."
