STANTON Brazilian Duckweed, which in threatening Oregon's freshwater lakes, may provide the basis for a new industry. At present it is a critical nuisance. Jack Hayes of Westlake, who has spearheaded efforts to bring the weed under control, tells us that experiments show the weed to be rich in proteins, offering possibility for food purposes if suitable processes for utilization are de vised. To date, however, no satisfactory harvesting method has been invented. Perhaps, instead of working to eradicate the weed, it should be cultivated and turned into useful purpose. Until utilization is made practical, however, something must be done to protect and preserve our lakes. The weed is spreading rapidly. It has even invaded some of the Klamath lakes. Unless some control method is found soon, or a use developed to keep the weed regulated by harvest ing, it soon will have lakes bo badly damaged that recrea tional use will be lost. The state legislature three 000 to be used in studying control methods. This money is almost gone and much work still remains to be done. Addi tional funds will be needed in the very near luture. Coast Residents Visit Mexico Accompanying County Judge Carl Hill, James Vaughn, regional game supervisor, and John Amacher, president of the County Parks Board, we spent Wednesday at Reedsport discussing phases of the weed control program with Hayes, representing the Westlnke sportsmen's group, and Frank L. Taylor, Reedsport hardware merchant and member of the Douelas County Parks Board. The discussion was confined largely to ways and means of control studies. Hayes was pinch hitting for other members of the spoi lsmen's organization who had planned to attend the conference but were prevented at the last moment from being present. , Hayes, one of the aggressive sports leaders in the coast section, former president of the Southwestern Oregon Sportsmen's association, and until last week emblem chair roan of the Oregon Wildlife Federation, is leaving soon to spend a year in Mexico. Why Jack should go to Mexico we can't understand. He has one of the most idyllic homes we know. He owns a large acreage on the Siltcoos Lake outlet. His beautifully arranged home looks out over this outlet. From his adjacent boat moorage, he can traverse the outlet, with iU superb fishing, or go out into the broad lake.'. He is surrounded with the finest of fishing and hunt ing. He has a Cabin cruiser with which he crosses, the bar of the Siuslaw River for deep sea fishing, ' But a bunch of Jack's friends have gone to Mexico and write him about the wonderful tuna fishing, peccary, jag uar and duck hunting, so Jack is off to Mexico to join friends from Reedsport, North Bend and Coos Bay who have a virtual Oregon colony at Guadalajara. Winchester Boy Inspected We also made an inspection trip to Winchester Bay, where one of the Pacific Coast's outstanding sports fish eries is growing by leaps and bounds. Winchester -Bay has had a severe winter beating. Jetty changes created surges which have eroded the shore line, washing away the banks and endangering waterfront property. An extensive erosion control program must be set up immediately. The bay also experienced extreme storm conditions which lit tered the entire waterfront, including the recreational area, with driftwood, smashed the and badly damaged the parking ago from channel dredgings. money. The county should redeck the dock. Rock fills are needed to halt erosion. If these fills could be made at some distance from the shore line and the intervening space filled with sand by dredging out shallow tidelands, much badly needed parking space could be provided. Winchester Bay could well use several hundred thou sands of dollars to properly develop its potential recrea tional resources. A study made by the Lower Umpqua Chamber of Commerce reveals that boat charters and rentals increased 27 per cent in 1951 over 1950, the number of passengers and fishermen increased 21 per cent, while there was a 100 per cent increase in the number of fish taken. It is estimated that the income from last year's sports fishery exceeded $1,750,000. Quite a tidy sum! Fa cilities for handling the crowds are totally inadequate. But as long as there are fish, the crowds will keep coming. Winchester Bay is quite a problem. Maybe you, too, will say "I never though of that!" and then take out your deep-well and fill it an inch or o deep with water. Said Mrs. D: "I'm always afraid I'll bo con fused when 'm helping one of my daughters, for each kitchen is different. If th,cy just keep a little water in the deep-well,, then If I happen to turn on the wrong switch no harm will be done. The steam will warn me, if I don't notico It before." Now Isn't that a simple Idea? Good for Mrs. Dl Now if someone will just think St a way to keep the faucets turned iFF so the spring will not be emptied inadvertently. People who live in cities ah, it's nice to say "people who live in cities" after so many years of wishing I were not one of them!

It would really "pay for itself" in time X Fulton Lewis Jr. y) QIJGG0 !J2J222J2J2jp2i3saaISa!Bs WASHINGTON It seems to be the studied policy of Secretary of State Dean Acheson to confuse and harass the State Department's loyalty board. As a result. Hiram Bingham, the chairman of the Loyalty Review Board, the top government author ity on loyalty matters, has instruct ed the Secretary of State to tell members ot the Department's own Loyalty Board "to behave them selves." This was a round-about technique employed by Bingham to slap Acheson for tampering with the Loyalty Board. The misbehavior ot members of the State Department's Board that disturbed the Loyalty Review Board, was discussed at a meet ing of the latter body early this month. The verbatim stenograph ic report of that meeting reveals that Acheson's hired hands were almost knocking themselves out to give suspected disloyal employes break. In one instance the wife of an employee suspected ot being dis loyal was allowed to attend the secret Loyalty Board sessions at the State Department. She was permitted to refresh the suspect's memory in regard to statements he had previously made under oath. The Department Board also permitted lengthy, off-the-record remarks and discussions which were not recorded for transmittal to the Review Board. In this par ticular case, as in every instance where the State Department Loyal ty Board has interrogated a sus pect, the individual involved was allowed to resign. This has kept Acheson's slate clean insofar as Communist employes are concern ed, and has enabled him to com pound the lie that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy is in error when he accuses the Department of harbor ing Reds. One Loyalty Review board mem ber commented during the recent meeting that the Department Board calls in a disloyal employee and says: "now, we are going to file charges against you unless you resign." The State Department Board under the law is charged with the duty of declaring whether a given employee is loyal or disloyal, lo do otherwise is to defraud the government, not only of the money paid to those failing to do their duly, but it defrauds us of our security. The American people are entitled to know the extent of the Communist penetration into Uieir own government, but because of State Department policy they are denied the Information. Fur thermore, a person who is allowed to resign has no black mark show ing on his record if he applies for a job in another government agen cy. The cutest trick to avoid trou bling Stale Department Reds, that Acheson employs, is to transfer loyalty Board members to other duties when they are in the midst of hearings on loyalty cases. This technique of harassment is used only when the Department has a high ranking official o the grid dle, such as John S. Service. Serv ice recently was found to be of 'doubtful loyalty" by the Loyally i Review Board, adcr the Mate De partment Board had cleared him six times. During the Department Board hearings on Services according to the Review Board, only one mem ber sat through the entire session. where one cooks mostly for two. from being cannon fodder for the It costs more, in proportion, to i capitalist butchers."

Another was sent oir on some other fluty. . me Loyalty Hcview Board ad monished the State Department Board that bearing panels should consist of the same persons throughout each Individual case. rather than changing the members as the case progresses through its various stages. Changing panel members this way is plain sabotage by State Department politicians who ap pear determined to protect their people rather than the Nation's se curity. The Lovaltv Review Board de cided to stop protecting State De partment liars. It knew that Ache son would brag about how clean nis department is to the McCar ran Internal Security Sub-Committee of the Senate. The Lovaltv Re view board did not permit Ache son to get away with it. But Ache son has yet to apoligize to the American people for defrauding them: nor has he ousted the Loy alty Board members in his own department who clearly failed to do their duty. Congress could appeal to the President to force Acheson to clean up the deception in his department, but it's a foregone conclusion that it would not do any good; Mr. Tru man is too busy helping Acheson fend off Senator McCarthy and protecting his own staff of assist ants to do something like this that would really benefit the country. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily On KRNR, 9:15 P. M. Congress Chat By HARRIS ELLSWORTH, M. C, 4th Oregon District There seems to be a feeling in me air around here that some sort of a stop - shooting arrangement will be madp in Korea. Late news from the truce - talk tent seems to bolster the feeline. It is Dretlv hard to figure just what the Com mies nave oeen driving at with Ihrir absurd actions in the truce conference but I am going to trv a little guessing about it for what ever it may oe worm. Our vigorous war action in Korea was both unexpected and unwanted by the Reds. It threw them off base and put them on the defen sive in their world - wide prop aganda war. The apparently want ed to keep the Korea affair at the local revolution level, but when we entered and were about to clean the thing up the Kremlin jumped their Chinese stooges into the frav. As a military effort, that move met with some success but it seriously hurt their efforts to win over the doubtful countries, and apparently worried their satellites who saw tho price the Chinese Reds were paying for their allegiance to Rus sia. The whole situation was blowing up the principal Commie propa ganda line which runs something like this: "We are the true friends of thp neoole and u-ill cava vnu So the gremlin hastily developed the "Peace Front." It started with Malik's speech from which devel oped the truce talks, and more or less concluded with the big "Peace Rally" or youth convention in East Berlin last summer. Part of the game in the Korean truce tent was off the conferences. With that the "Peace Front" propaganda attack to enrage us to the point of calling would have been a success and their accusation of "war mongers" would stand up. But our people stuck it out. Now the only way the Kremlin can save it's vaunted claim of actually having hatched the dove of peace, is to let some sort of truce come off in Korea. But if that happens, we bad best keep our powder dryl , For some years the President and bis Secretary of State have been evading the Constitution of the United States, which provides that treaties with foreign govern ments be ratified by the United States Senate. The Administration has been making "agreements" or "contracts"' with other govern ments which, because they were not called treaties, could not be acted upon by the Senate. Many sucn commitments were, in tact, treaties. I have introduced a bill in the House which, if enacted, would put a stop to this practice. i nope tne foreign Aitairs com mittee will give my proposal some consideration.

Mr. E. L. Rey, minister of the Assembly of God in Sutherlin, made ref erence to some things I said in one of his radio broadcasts. I answered him in a public letter, and he countered with an article to the citizens of the Roseburg Area. It is not my intention to become involved in personal ities. My purpose is to keep before you what the issue really is. Let me repeat that it is not a question of the pow er of God. Neither is it a question of faith in prayer. See my reference to this in article No. one. ' I have repeatedly pointed out the fact that miracles were given to confirm the word of the speaker, "the Lord working with them and confirming th. word with signs following, ' Mk. 16:20. The message was preached to the whole creation confirmed within the lifetime of the apostles, Mk. 16:20; Col. 1:23. A message once confirmed need not be reconfirmed continually. The miracles have been recorded for us today, John 20:30, 31. However, the objection is raised that "we need miracles today to prove our position." I ask again, "Just whose position will they prove?" That has never been answered. 1 insist there are many today who teach contradictory doctrines, all claiming that miracles are per formed to prove their messages. Is God the author of con fusion? No. The Bible was confirmed in the first century. If any provin? is being done today, it proves these men to ba false teachers. For example, a man in Grants Pass recently claimed he had power to heal. He was asked to go to the hospital and heal a lady who was in a coma. He and an other man went in, anointed the patient with oil and pray ed earnestly. Nothing happened; so mey tried again. Still nothing happened, and they left The ladv died the next day. What did this prove? To me it is evidence of a false claim. This can also be said of the recent failure here in Roseburg. Under pressure of investigation the proponents of mirac ulous healing today are forced to distinguish between what was done by the apostles and what is claimed for today. It is said that healing through prayer is different from raising the dead. What is the difference? Both are from the same source. If the "miraculous healing" of today Is not the same as that which the apostles performed, provision for ttiis dis tinction must be made in the New Testament. Where in God's word does it say so? If you cite James 5:14, this Is not a parallel. James says the sick shall recover and the Lord shallraise him up. No failure there, but our friends admit that not all the sick are raised that are anointed and prayed for !oday, the example in Grants Pass being a case in point. The fact remains that such are not being performed today. It Is said that there are "many people In the hospitals who need a healing touch." Why do Kiev not go out and ad minister the touch, then? Jesus did; the apostles did. Thousands were brought to them and were healed pub licly not a failure on the whole lot! It is further stated, ''We need a great demonstration of the super-natural today. ' Well, lets have it!" We would have such if our friends would go io the hospitals and heal all the sick. It would make headlines in every paper in the country. Such was the effect in the days of Christ and the apostles. When these claims are put to the test, therefore, it Is seen that miracles are not being performed todav, but many are being "bewitched" as were the Samaritans of Acts eighth chapter. J. C.
