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.

"Some lime ago you spoke of a

Her mind's eye visualized my

it curves in to fit body. The ends

WASHINGTON Among
Department in ransoming the four American fliers from
Hungary, was gagging them following their rescue until
Samuel E,
charge.
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.

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? ..

Indian Tribe's
Former Empire
Cited In Claim
WASHINGTON Stories of
Indians who lived in the northwest
before the white man arrived were
cited Wednesday as evidence that
the Coeur D'Alene tribe once held
a vast empire.
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.

ADVICE
THE TROUBLE WITH PAINT STAINS
Oil base paints. 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'.'.
