STANTON Within a few more das we will know the identity of "Mr.M on." . Perhaps you are "Mr. Million." Maybe he is your . neighbor. ' W do not know who he may be. But every indiea tinn is that he will win by losing winning a title by losincr his life before Christmas. "Mr. Million" will be the one-millionth fatality directly attributable to traffic accident. Perhaps he will be the driver of an automobile. He may be a passenger in an automobile driven by another. He may be a careless pedestrian. But, according to the toll of lives taken by motor vehicles, the death of "Mr. Million" is only a few days awav. We hone and nrav that "Mr. Million" will not prove to be a resident of Douglas county, nor a visitor in the count v. We do not want the dubious distinction that will attach to the title. But, despite our hopes and prayers, he may be any one of us. During the month just closed, 37 people were killed on Oretron streets and highways. Douglas county was high in the list of t r a f fi c accidents. November's death list broueht the 1951 Oregon total to 401. Several names have been inscribed on the scroll since the first of December, Inexorably we move closer, as a nation, to that one-mil lionth death. Holiday Death Toll Feared Unless there is a verv sudden dron in the rate of traf fic fatalities. "Mr. Million's" death will occur before Christmas. By Christmas time we will be starting on our second million. The holiday season normally is marked by a sharp upswing in traffic accidents. Many people are traveling from place to place for holiday visits. Highways are con gested. People are in a hurry. They become impatient with delays. They take chances. Streets are crowded with shoppers. Shoppers, absorbed in the rush of Christ mas buying, and burdened with packages are apt to be come careless. Hurrying drivers may not pay proper at tention to pedestrians, particularly jaywalkers. This, too, is the period of the year when holiday spirits are augmented by bottled spirits. Entertainments in home and office are in order. "Even a few drinks can make the difference between a good driver and a highway men ace," says Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry. State Officials Urge Safety Safet is beinir urired all over the nation. Not only are warnings given concerning traffic dangers, but people are urged to be cautious with Christmas trees and their decorations, the use of lights and appliances, and to as'oid the increased hazard to be found in the average home at this time of the year. Three Oregon state officials have joined in expressing the hope that Oregonians will give each other the great est gift of all this Christmas "the gift of life." The three officials, Governor Douglas Mc Kay, Sec retary of State Newbry and Superintendent of Public In struction Bex Putnam, who control the departments re sponsible for various traffic accident prevention activities, declare that "only a Rtrong personal determination by all individuals to avoid accidents will keep traffic deaths from marring happiness this Christmas season." They ask all motorists and pedestrians to use special care and caution during the holidays ahead. By practicing the principle of "Good will toward men," Oregon's 1951 traffic death toll could stay below the 428 fatalities recorded last year and help postpone the millionth traffic death in the nation, they say. . We can all help by keeping "Mr. Million out of Doug las county.

A group ot mothers whose sons were in the various services met regularly for what they called "Service Mothers Prayer Circle." From this they received much comfort and inspiration. In addi tion they also began "Ihc Cooky Box." and, says the wiiler, "you will understand that the labor of keeping our cookie boxes moving helped us to use the lonelv hours. I hear from friends back there that the cookie boxes arc still go ing out to our dear boys in the service of our dear country. . ." Did they, I wonder, use pop corn or marshallows of gumdrops for "packing" lo fill in Iho spaces and help keep the cookies from breaking? Once a box of cookies I sent was received, f learned laler, in Panama. Some of the cookies had been removed, and in their place a large bar of cho colate had been put as a substitute One fimft na shelleH U'alnnta ' until we had enough to fill six ol the one - pound shortening tins. Then we processed them in a slow, very slow oven, for forty five mimiles. All six went on samo mail, out in Hie Pacific. So far as I ever learned, not one reached its addresses On one of the ships that we lost. But The scandals of today involving the internal revenue bureau, the Mcfarran investigation of the In stitute of Pacific Relations, and current exposes of Soviet agents in the United ftations and the dip lomatic corps are important inves tigations. But they are mild in comparison to wnat a congres sional inquiry would unearth if an investigation of Red infiltration into intelligence units were under taken. In one particular branch of the army, one ot the most sensitive intelligence units in the Pentagon, intelligence will be wasted. A ci vilian employee in highly tech nical work, who is rated as a genius in certain secret develop ments, is in serious trouble be cause his superiors refuse to clean out Reds and incompetents. Communists have two goals in Infiltrating U. S. intelligence agen cies. The first is to learn what the various agencies are doing, what they know and what counter intelligence efforts are used; the second, to hamper this activity a man was put on the payroll who j by slowing down paper work, by openly boasted that he was trying ' endless conferences and by fore ing incompetents into jobs where skill and competence is required. The subject is a proper one for a senatorial inquiry. The senate internal security subcommittee un doubtedly is ..,e proper group to make the inquiry. Hear Fulton Lervis Daily On KRS'IZ, 4:00 P.M.

The central intelligence agency has on its payroll an employee who was ousted from a military intelligence unit for pilfering se cret files; another employee now with the CIA was ousted from a sensitive Defense department of fice because he molested women employees. As a civilian employee of CIA he now draws the same brigadier general. There are others. Some stories sound impossible or too ludicrous for belief; but, unfortunately, they happen to be true.

Sii kaWfcWa k" Jvlj ! 1 m (Continued from Page 1) Senator Anderson (Dem., New Mexico) says in Washington he looks for a "tilht race" between President Truman and Senator Taft for the Presidency in 1952. Anderson, who talked with Mr. Truman at the White House yes terday, told a reporter he is firmly convinced the President will seek I new term. What does that mean? I'd say it means that Mr. Tsu man recognizes the crruption-in-government issue as a major is sue and realizes that HE CAN'T QUIT NOW. Quitting uader fire would amount to an admission that what so many people so strongly SUSPECT is TRUE. . What do you think? That raises another interesting question: Will the Democratic party ac ceot the situaUon docilely and re nominate Mr. Truman by ac clamation? Or will there be a bit ter fight on the floor of the con vention next summer? Getting back to Senator Ander son. He sizes it up this way: He thinks Taft will win the GOP nomination because Eisenhower has not yet indicated publicly that he will be a candidate and has declined to say whether he is a Republican or a Democrat. Well, he has something there. Great as is my admiration for General Eisenhower, I wouldn't want to accept him as a pig in a poke. I'd want him to say flatly and without qualification what he is and what he believes. So far as 1 m concerned, as one small private citizen, u wouldn't be necessary for him to quit his critically important job in Europe and come home and get into the ruck and the mess of traditional American campaign ing. But I do feel that if he is to become a candidate for Presi dent he must give us a blue print of what he is, what he be lieves and what he will under take to accomplish if he is elected. I will believe him if he speaks, but I'm sure I will want him to SPEAK OUT. Will he? I don't know. Read this dispatch from Paris this morning: "General Eischower fought in person today TO STAVE OFF A THREATENING REBELLION OF NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY OR GANIZATION COUNTRIES against the growing cost of pay in? for his international army. . . He went before the NATO com mittee today reportedly to lay it on the line that European se curity is IN DANGER unless the proposed hikes in arms spending are forthcoming." In danger? How? There can be only one answer to that question. If General Ei senhower believes Europe is in danger, he must believe RUSSIA WILL ATTACK IF EUROPE DOESN'T ARM SWIFTLY ENOUGH. If he believes that, I he must also believe his undis traded presence in Europe as a military commander is essential to the preservation of the free world. i If he believes' that.
