Readers of this column will recall that on several oc casions we have mentioned difficulties faced by the Oregon Highway Commission in appropriating money adequate for Douglas County's highway needs. We have pointed out that whenever one county receives more money than another an immediate protest is lodged by those believing they are en titled to first recognition. Douglas County, previously sparsely settled and with little industrial activity, was for many years sidetracked in favor of more densely populated areas. Road needs rise in proportion to population. Many critical highway bottlenecks . remain throughout the entire state, particularly around grow ing cities. Each community suffering from one of these ' bottlenecks believes its problem rates top priority. Douglas County contains one-third of the Pacific High way in Oregon, yet it has received proportionately only a small fraction of the money spent on the Pacific Highway ' since original construction. Far more has been spent in the upper Willamette Valley, where population is centered. Now the "sleeping giant is awakening," to use a phrase recently applied by Mayor Al Flegel. It is beginning to yawn and stretch. Population is increasing at a tremendous rate. Our industrial activity, rated 19th in payrolls covered by unemployment compen- : sation, now stands third in the state. Douglas County's highway needs no longer can be ne- : glected. The' Highway Commission must act and fast. Transportation bottlenecks in this area are critically retard ing local and state economy. But how much money can the Highway Commission allot to meet Douglas County's crit ical need without arousing violent criticism, and objection from other counties and communities? -; : .'- Post Omissions Need Correction . .. In reconstructing the Pacific Highway a program to which the Commission is pledged - it will be necessary to spend a very large sum of money in Douglas County, be cause, one-third of that highway in Oregon is within the county's boundaries. - - The state has constructed several east-west routes through the Cascades Green Springs, Willamette, McKen zie, North and South Santlam, Mt Hood, Columbia gorge each of which has taken money to which the North Umpqua route had a fair claim. The Umpqua National Forest, how ever, was not a producing forest at the time those roads were built. The money could be spent on those projects with better effect upon the. general economy of the state. " The Umpqua Forest has assumed economic 'importance only within the last few years. It now is second ranking revenue producer in Oreogn. Because the North Umpqua route did not share proportionately in distribution of funds for previous east-west highway development, it now is en titled to priority In allotments until brought on a par wan other roads of like character and purpose. From a point of equity, the Highway Commission is justified in concentrating a very large share of available highway funds' within Douglas County to rebuild the Pacific Higliway and to construct the North Umpqua Federal High way. These nroiects will cost dollars that should have been coming in smaller amounts In previous years, but which were withheld from this area to be expended where heavier pressures existed. Inasmuch as we have not in the past received a pro portionate share of road appropriations, present necessity justifies increased allotments until past omissions have been corrected. The Highway Commission, we believe, is throughly aware of our problem. It has made extensive plans to give all possible aid. It must, however, anticipate criticism and pressure from other localities which also have highway prob lems, even though they have had the lion s share of avail able money in the past. Local groups interested highway projects should be way commission in an aggressive manner against any com plaints of excessive appropriations for Douglas County. We have ample evidence in the many past years of neglect to support our position, but the our shoulders. A reader ho forgot to sign her name, aunougn sue included her address says a few pleasant words about this column, for which I thank her. and then: "Some lime ago you spoke of a lapboard which I wish I knew more about. Did not clip the Article so size and shape and weight are fog- fiy. In my mind's eye it was 30 nches across one way, and shaped like this:-" Her mind's eye visualized my lapboard exactly, for the sketch shows the narrowed center where it curves in to fit body.

Klaus had arrived Klaus has been jitter-bugging around government agencies since 1934, when he came to Washington as a protege of former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. He needs a thorough examina tion and I popose to give him one. On orders from the State De partment although the armv i s still trying to figure out why the four ransomed airmen were for bidden to talk for publication until a special airplane had deposited Klaus in Vienna. He was described as "a legal and intelligence expert of the State Department and the Secretary of State mumbled vague statements that Klaus had to be on hand because of international repercussions. When he got there he didn't do anything but pose with tile fliers for photographers. In describing Klaus now as its legal and intelligence expert, the State Department is guilty of a short memory, because it wasn't very long ago that the Depart ment was looking for a way to grease him back to private law practice. That was after he h?.d gotten the Department's official propagandists in an awful jam when they were trying to duck the charges leveled by Senator Joseph R. McCarthy. The Wisconsin senator had put in the congressional record what he termed an FBI report on State Department Reds. Acheson's pup pets called the senator a liar in stating that nothing of the sort had ever been around the Department. As it turned out the report was a compilation mane by the Depart ment'! own legal and intelligence experts, Klaus, based on FBI sum maries and other data. The inci dent didn't do the Department anv good, naturally, and Klaus almost nisi nis jod as a result. K 1 a ti s. however, has led a charmed life on the government payroll. He had Representative Fred Busbcy, of Illinois, so mad at him a few years aeo that the State Department for a while shuf fled Klaus off to the Office of In tcrnationnl Trade in the Depart ment oi commerce, inis was tne sanctuary of William Remington, now awaiting a second perjury trial, and a number of Dhonies who were forging shipping permits so they could supply the Soviet Union with American machinery. Klaus never had much to sav about these operations. Later on. Klaus eot in a 1am when he tried to force an examina- of all FBI, information on commu nism. He apparently wanted to dm in the secret FBI files, although nobody knew just why. He then tried to capture all State De partment Intelligence work, includ ing jurisdiction over the central Intelligence agency and even some FBI operations. 1 On July 18, 1950, Senator Styles Bridges, of New Hampshire, in a Sonata speech, accused a State Department official of blocking the entry into the Unitd States of 1.000 German scientists. Alt of them, so far as is known, now work for the Russian government. Bridges didn't name the official Involved, but shortly after the speech Klaus ran nantinclv to his office trying to find out whom the senator had in mind. Klaus is a pal of Max Idwenthal, the mental marvel who advises President Truman on such thinss as why the FBI should be investi gated, lie once worked tor a law irm that etnDloved ex-Communist I.oe Pressman.

Klaus is a graduate of City Col lege of New York, which by itself virtually qualifies him for gov ernment employment under the New and Fair Deals.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS (Continued from Page 1) anybody FROM THE TOP. If it is to work, democracy has to come up from the bottom. People have to WANT it. If told at the point of a gun in the hands of conqueror that thev must take it or else, they may accept it outwardly but inwardly they'll rebel. That's just human nature. It has seemed to me for quite a while that we are trying to force our brand of democracy on the rest of the world. I'm sure that's a mistake. The Swiss have a pretty good kind of democracy and it has served them well. Obviously, they LIKE it. But if somebody tried to FORCE the Swiss way of life on us we'd fight bloody murder against it. Oiu wav of life came to us BE CAUSE WE WANTED IT. Our forefathers were fed to the ears with the medieval mess in Europe. They were willing to risk even death to get what they wanted. Coming to us in that natural, log ical way, our particular brand of democracy has worked. Incidentally, another Japanese problem is facing us. Our boys over there are beginning to marry Japanese girls. They are marry ing them by the thousands. They are bringing their brides HOME with them. Also, in many ccses, the CHIL DREN. These Japanese wives (and their children) are coming to America under a temporary relaxation of our immigration laws, which re fuse American citizenship to Orien tals. This temporary relaxation is due to expire soon. But it looks like American boys will be in the Orient (including Japan) for a long time. If nature continues to take its course, a lot more of them will marry Japanese girls. What are we going to do about it? We're now beginning to look up on the Japanese as our allies. We're coming to RELY ON THEM as a DuiwarK in tne bast against LUM MUNISM. We're expecting a lot of them to die In defense of eur way of life against communist ag gression. As things are going now, it won't be long before the Japanese are going to want to know whv, IF , THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH TO I NIAl. DIE FIGHTING BESIDE US FOR THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, they aren't good enough to be come American Citizens and SHARE in the American way of life. Especially the Japanese girls who marry American boys and bear children who are HALF Amer ican. , It's a tough problem. How are we going to anwer it? If we're going to run the world, which we are apparently com mitted to do, we're going to face a lot of problems like that. We might as well be thinking about them now. Some of our think ing is going to have to run along tnis line: If a guy Is going to die beside you helping you DEFEND YOUR HOME, is he or isn't he good enough to be invited into your home? What kind of answer -are you going to give to that question when it is put to you as It certainly will be? ..

Verne F. Ray, Yale University Anthropology professor, said his 20 year study of Indians in the north west convinced hfm that the Coeur D Alenes owned and occupied pal of three present states. He testified before the Indian Claims Commission on the tribe's claim for "just payment" for 4 million acres of land taken by the government in the 1880's for 1150,- 000. The acreage Includes valuable timber and rich agriculture and mining land in Northern Idaho, Eastern Washington and Western Montana. - Ray said the major part of his research, between 1928 and 1943, was the evaluation oi interviews with Indians who lived there be fore the white man. He described the Coeur D' Alenes as peaceful, stable Indians who had land boundaries which were recognized by neighboring tribes. Photographs of magazine articles by Ray and a map showing the domain of tribes in the northwest were offered in evidence by Ken neth Simmons and Ralph Wiggen horn, both of Billings, Mont., at torneys for the Coeur D'Alenes.

The essential problem of removing paint stains caused by oil base paints is that of dye and pigment removal. The oil portion of the stain presents a problem similar to that of all grease and fat stains, ond is not especially difficult if the stain is not allowed to get old. i - The pigment, being a solid, usually has to be tamped out. If the stain ii fresh, the oil and pigment are not yet in permanent bond, and again removal is relatively simple. The dye, depending on the color, is usually remov able, flain the most Important single determining fac tor is the freshness of the stain. In other words, this type of stain can be removed in most instances, if the garment is spotted and cleaned as soon offer staining as possible. WITHIN 48 TO 72 HOURS AFTER STAINING ARE THE MAXIMUM OUT SIDE LIMITS FOR SAFETY. After that period of time, the oil has "set" and then removal becomes increasingly more and more difficult, and eventually impossible. IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, THESE STAINS CAN BE REMOVED IF CAUGHT EARLY. BRING YOUR GARMENT IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER STAIN- ING. -. . - - Our spotting department is familiar -with the wet and dry pre-spotting and "digesting" techniques necessary to insure removal of both types of paint stains. All you have to do let us repeat is not let time work on these stains and fix them permanently. Time may be a wonderful healer for what ails the human soul but it works havoc on garments. . v'.'.
