STANTON Annie Applegate Kruse, a lifelong resident of Yoncalla, has purformed a service which will grow in value as time goes cn. For many years she has been compiling Douglas county history, nnd, more particularly, the hiRtory of the northern part "f the county. Last year she published the first of her collections under the title "Yoncalla Home of the Eagles." Newly off the press Is a revision of that book. The new edition, while retaining much of the original manuscript, adds many interesting incidents. Included in new copy Is a brief account of the formation of Umpqua county. Mrs. Kruse has compressed volumes of historical facts, incidents and biography into one small booklet. Just as an artist sketches his scenes with a few lines to serve as guides for the more complete work, she has merely outlined a vast amount of historical information. Each chapter in her inter esting booklet could be expanded into one or more large vol umes. Yet, as the true artist can make a few lines suffice to convey the impression to be gained from the finished pic ture, Mrs. Kruse has shown comparable skill in depiction of history. Despite extreme condensation, the reader is made to feel the spirit of the age she describes and to understand the thoughts and impulses of our pioneers and the motiva tion leading them to accept the hardships which went with the times. Historical Records Preserved Mrs. Kruse has compiled her history from original sources. As she undertook her work, she was given access to many diaries, correspondence files, scrap books and other historical records In the possession of pioneer families, More ard more of this valuable store has been made avail able as people became acquainted with the work in which she has been engaged for many years. Mrs. Kruse is continuing her research and preparing manuscript for a version which will not be circumscribed in space as were her two current editions. It is to be hoped that she will be able to fill in the sketches she has produced, to preserve for all time the picture of earlv Douglas county. We feel 'that 'this is a most valuable work one that has been too long neglected. We have a wealth of historical facts which we are permitting to slip away from us. Histori ans who capture and retain this information for posterity are performing a service which will grow in Importance with the years. , ' . Mrs. Kruse Is engaged In a "labor of love," for her booklet is non-profit, written exclusively to preserve as mucn as possible of our rapidly disappearing history. the world belong to the Soviet Pol itburo, yet back in 1940 the secre tary of the Institute of Pacific Relations issued an off-hand order that an American should. o to Moscow and examine Politburo data. This was at a time when Stalin and Hitler were acting like buddies and almost everybody in this country was sure they d join in conquering England and Eu rope, neither dictator, as you'll re call, was friendly to the U. S., so on the surface it appears unlikely that Russian leaders would have allowed an American to inspect their secret files. Such was not the case, however, in the mind of Edward C. Carter, secretary of the IPR. Carter ap peared before the McCarran group recently, blandly asserting that the institute was a scholarly group of intellectuals itching t o take part in world affairs for the benefit of this nation. If there ever was a deflated windbag, Car ter was it by the time McCarran and his staff got through with him. The document in question was a letter written by Carter on May 8, 1940, to the director of the American Committee for Interna tional Studies, one William W. Lockwood. It reads like a Kremlin directive. Carter had decided that the IPR should scatter around the globe a platoon or two of snoopers as international exchange fellows. This, mind you, at the moment the world was about to blow up in a global war that Carter was con vinced was not far off, as you 11 see in a moment. In his directive, Carter orders U. S. and foreign citizens to start traveling, and the thing that strikes my mind especially in the case of Dr. Philip Jessup is how Carter was so certain they'a' all leave their jobs and do his bid ding. Even Jessup must have been doin? something to earn a living at that time. I'm Koine to give you a few excerpts from Carter's lS-item di rective just as he wrote It. Some of the names won't mean much ACCESS ROAD PROGRAM URGED An access road program In which the sum of $30 mil lion would be authorized annually for a five-year period, is urged by the National Lumber Manufacturers association. The association, meeting recently in San Francisco, adopted a resolution stressing the Importance of an ade quate access road program. It was recommended that such roads be designed and located chiefly for the purpose of removing timber; that standards and load limits be suf ficiently flexible to take advantage of logging opportunities and operating economies. It also was recommended that federal funds be used only for roads which cannot be quickly and adequately financed by private timber opera tors as a part of timber sales. The association suggested annual advisory public hearings in connection with state and regional access road programs. The proposal submitted by the lumber manufacturers dovetails with the project upon which Douglas county tim ber interests and the Roseburg chamber of commerce are expending much time and energy. Access to timber on the Umpqua national forest is vital to efficient management of our resource. Unless such access is obtained in the very near future, we will soon exhaust our supply of privately owned timber, now being dangerously ovcrcut. At the same time we aro suffering annual economic losses amounting to millions of dollars because of the undercut from federally controlled lands. It is to bo hoped that the influence from the lumber manufacturers, together with efforts from local communi ties, will stimulate Congress to set up a more realistic and efficient timber access program. From IHDIHG 'BASKET The other day a voice I like to hear asked over the phone, "Viah nctt, do you think you ran make threo pumpkin pies. . .?" When I came out of my shock I said, "The rango is in the middle of the livin$rnom under tarpaulin, with other things piled all around it. Most of my kitchen junk is still unpacked. . . what do you think?" Well, the decorators and the car penters and I had a good laugh afterward, and the other hostess bless hcrl made six pies, her own threo and mine, too! I shall always think of that day now when I think of pumpkin pie. This typewriter is full of white dust despite my efforts to keep it covered up. 1 guess I uncovered It loo soon. It's Ray Karnswnrth Jr.'s fault his uncle and dad, too because they did too good a job of sanding sheet rook. The sheetrock is a half inch thick, Thrv stuffed every crack with some kind of gooey stuff, and then when it dried, they sanded. Well, not Hay's dad. He had urgent business on an other job, and what a good day to pickl Said Ray the nlcht before, "This place will he dusty tomorrow. I'lcnly dusly." He knew what he was talking about! And 1 didn't. But I do now. That dried white stuff had to he satin-smooth, they said, and satin-smooth it is! I can think of lots easier jobs than stand ing on a platform, holding a heavy sandcr over my head all dav. But Ray took it in stride. Do you sup pose four years in the navy sort of conditioned him? Maybe he holy- swncn a uvcsr Had a nolc from Mrs. Herman (exec. sec. Red Cross) saying she would drop in lor a tew minutes on her way by Tuesday. If the Karni worths are still sanding. . . well, we can visit in her car mavbc? If she looks as if she had gone through a white-dust storm when Ihev sec her in Drain. . . well. you'll know whyl Maybe Hay cov ered us up, loo, with one of his tarpaulins. (l!m oh, won't It be nice when all this is over and I can clean up and put thinss in their right places and know iney won t go galloping arouna. . . i WASHINGTON When Edward C. Carter told the sen ate internal security subcommittee that the Institute of Pa cific Relations is nothing more than a highbrow study group on Asian problems he stuck his foot in his mouth. Probably the most secret lues in for the moment, but that will be taken care of later. When you get through reading it, see if it strikes you that this is a normal activity for a crouD of scholars: "1. Send Harriet Moore (Car ter's secretary) to the USSR to co through all government and Ciarly writing on postwar prob ems and suonlement this by inter viewing party and Politburo chiefs. "2. Brine Von Trott from Ber lin to he associated with Corbett. Sansom, Tawney and others, and hold him until a weeic ociore America enters the war." (W didn't get into the war until De cember 7, 1941, but Carter knew what he was doing.) "3. After he served 8 months in the French army, if he is still alive, dig up Dennery by the roots and bring him over to collaborate with Corbett, Earle and your self. Failing Dennery, consider Joxe." (It would be interesting to know how Carter and his buddies were so certain they could pull Dennery out of the French army after a six months hitch.) "4. Send Phil Jessuo or Jack to Batavia, Chungking, Manila, To kyo." (Not ask Uiem, send uiem, Garter says.) "5. Bring Motylev, Troyanovsky, or Voitinski to 'contribute alike to the IPR inquiry, and to such studies by other American groups as may be recommended by the American committee for International stud- niTrir.n m Tlr. Andrew C. Ivy, noted medical educator re cently suspended by the Chicago Medical aociety, is continuing by order of University ot nunois trustees his research work to de termine the value ot Krebioien lor cancer. The board adopted a report mak ing disposition of the Krebiozen m nnrplv administra tive matter to be directed by Dr. George D. Sloaaara, university president. . ' n- iu unrtH famous nhvsieist and head of the Chicago profes sional scnoots 01 me univemiiy, was suspended Nov. 13 by the so ciety "for methods he employed in promoting" Krebioien in treat ment of cancer. The board adopted without corn man, th hi-iaf ronnrt hv Dr. Stod dard, urging Dr. Ivy to continue his research so as to vauaaie id Cancer Scientist Given Krebiozen Research Permit the satisfaction of all concerned the effects of Krebioien on can cer patients." Dr. Ivy made Krebioien public last March. He said 22 cancer pa tients had been treated with it and 14 showed signs of Improvement but eight others died. All patients were in the advanced atagea of the disease. Th American Medical associa tion on Oct 25 said a study failed to show Krebioien had beneficial effecta It based its report on case histories of 100 cancer patients treated with Krebioien. I Dr. Stoddard recommended "as soon as may be feasible, to give the public full information on the I outcome of the work."

Carter was quite a boy and the IPR quite an organiiation if they could order t h e a e characters around. But what you've read is only a starter.. Some of the names men tioned mean a great deal more than they appear to on first read ing. I'll go into that. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily On KRNR, 4:00 P.M. And 9:15 P.M. In The Day's News : By FRANK JENKINS (Continued from Page 1) the Baltic could have been lust a case of trigger-happiness The dec oration awarded to the pilots could have been merely the Russian way of saying that their men THOUGHT they were right and should be made to .know that their alertness and readiness were not displeasing to their government' But when it happens Iwice in the same way, it looks like evi dence of a deliberate purpose of some sort. That brings up another question that is not lacking in grimness: How well prepared ARE we? This Is from Washington: "Senator Morse said today THE UNITED STATES STII.L, LACKS THE AIR POWER NECESSARY TO RISK SPREADING THE KO REAN WAR BY STRIKING AT RED CHINA BASES IN MAN CHURIA." That reminds us uf General Vandenberg's statement that other day that red China is now one of the major air powers of the world. Only a little while ago (practically a matter of months) red China had no air power at all. What she has now has come from Russia Russia's production capacity must be pretty good. Let's get back to Senator Morse who is a member of the senate armed services committee and as such has access to the best infor mation available He went on: "Top military advisers have told us for months past that we do not have air supremacy either in Asia or in Europe." Without air supremacy, how can we use even our atomic strength as effecitvely as we would need to use it if we were precipitated overnight into all-out war? Senator Morse added: "I am opposed to expanding the war until we can control the air." Whether or not one agrees with Senator Morse on ALL issues, it isn't hard to agree with him on that one. This much is plain: Until we get strong enough to handle any Situation that may arise, we'd better proceed with considerable caution. Incidents such as this one in the Sea of Ja pan and the other one up in the Baltic are hard to swallow. Gut if we should let our anscr overcome our judgment it might be in.it what our enemy wants. Above all else, we'd better quit fooling around and buckle down grimly and seriously to the busi ness of GETTING MILITARILY STRONG AS long as there is any doubt about our ability to win a war if one should sui t, our posi Hon in world affairs will be a weak one. More Information Asked On School Merger Plan ROSEBURG The voters and taxpayers of school district No. 4, together with a number of outly ing districts, are soon to he given the opportunity of voting upon the proposition of consolidating in or der to give the students of the out lying districls, where high school facilities are not available, the benefils and advantages of school district No. 4. Together with many other resi dents of Roseburg, as well as tax payers of school district No. 4, I should like to have the proposi tion of the proposed consolidation explained at more length and in more detail than was done in the news item regarding the eon solidation which appeared in your puniicalion several days ago. The undersigned Is of the opinion that a thorough discussion as to the advantages or disadvantages that might accrue from inch a move should be had before elec tion date. I. for one, admit com plete isnoranct on the matter proposed. SAM J. SHOEMAKER Roseburg, Oregon Damage Suits On Auto Accident Are Dismissed Two suits against T. C.
