J " ' We have on hand several more communications concern ine the daylight vs. standard time argument. 'None of these letters contain a new idea on the subject nor . an argument that has not previously been presented numerous times. The principal theme of letters now on hand Is abuse or criticism of the Roseburg City Council. . We already have devoted much space to communica tions on this subject. We will be glad to print any argu ments or ideas not heretofore advanced, but we can see no reason to make our forum column a vehicle for any more personal abuse directed at the City Council,' Consequently, unless something of a constructive nature is offered by cor respondents, or some new factor is advanced,-we propose to consider the argument closed. The Council's Justification We are particularly interested in the fact that with only two exceptions all letters have been from opponents of fast time. '.' ' These writers have claimed the opposition to daylight time to constitute a large majority. Yet when the uniform time law came up for vote in Orgon in 1950 the vote in favor was 277,633. as compared with a negative vote of 195,319 a majority of only 17 per cent. :,' Analysis of the vote Bhows that urban centers generally favored fast time, while suburban and rural areas opposed. In this connection, it has been interesting to observe that virtually all of the criticism heaped upon the members of ithe'City Council comes from people residing outside the city limits. , ' ' ' , '': ' . , We are not attempting to defend the Council or. its ac tion. It must assume full responsibility. But critics should take into consideration that members of the City Council are elected to serve residents of the city and not non-residents. In the November .election of 1950, Roseburg voters ap proved fast time by. a vote of 1,905 to 1,247. Outside the city of Roseburg, however, standard time was preferred 5,182 to 2,494. But, taking into consideration the fact that the City Council represents the residents of the city and not those out side municipal boundaries, and that fast time preference was shown within the city, the Council can at least point to some measure of justification. Better Legislation Needed , Another fact overlooked by many correspondents is the technical aspect of the Council's action. . While we feel that the various municipalities adopting fast time (and most of ( the, state's larger tons moved up the clocks) used proced ure .which might be called "evasive," yet, technically, the action was legal. 1 ; . 1 All the City Council did was to order clocks in the city hall set an hour ahead, advancing the working time for city employes, and for all municipal operations. There is, and was, no compulsion, upon anyone to do likewise; There is no requirement that fastHime be observed outside the city family. Roseburg merchants previously had agreed among themselves to continue on standard time;- while opening and closing their places of business an hour earlier. It was, of course, very convenient for them to advance their clocks to .Snatch those at the City Hall. Thereby the intent of the uniform-time law was evaded, but It was done legally. As we have said previously we do not attempt to defend. We simply are trying to explain. Many correspondents ap parently have a misunderstanding of the factors we have related. It seems quite apparent that the uniform time law should be repealed and more workable legislation provided- Cer tainly we should tolerate no law placing the governor of our . state in such an untenable position, Reading back over what we have written here, we find we must amend a previous statement. We said we would consider the argument closed. That decision will stand, in ' sofar as piling more abuse on the City Council is concerned. However, some of our readers may want to attack us per sonally. No editor should ever place himself beyond criti cism. So. if you want to knock our ears down, the column re mains open. But let's ease off on the City Council. They've had enough. We still can take it. Not any more! From now on, if you are in the United Kingdom, you CANT mail yourself home. Tourists, lost in a maic of narrow, crooked streets can no longer step into a postoffire, and be mailed to the home-address by 'means of a special messenger, the proper postage being paid first. How ever If you conU'mplnto Rolng to England this summer and had counted .on this service, cheer up: you can still ask the first postman you see' and he will set you straight and for free! But he won't lead you Jiomo.' After a chuckle at the funny no tions overseas.- I read on a little further in the National Geographic Society atory, to discover that we used to ship wives by express! Seems that the express company acted somewhat as the Traveler's Aid Society does now, and saw to it that the lady journeying west, for instance, to meet her husband, or husband-to-be, got there a 1 1 right.

One Oro.T-Sot June 195Z Stanton ENDING BASKET notices when flying how watchful, the stewardess is, even when the small fry are accompanied by adults, over her small charges. On my way home from Southern California the Catalina plane set down at Long Beach In a 50-mile wind, and it surely was buffeted about. We passengers had to lean into wind to got to the plane. The wind swooped across that open field, and how! But once the creak ing plane was up, the stewardess spent her time with three little ones who were not frightened (the young mother was so obviously trying not to show her own fright! ) and how cleverly the pretty stew ardess held their attention. That young mother must hava been so grateful. But to go back to Britain and the Geographic story: "It is pos sible to post a cow or dog, provid ed the beast Is docile and has a rope around its neck." Over here a boa constrictor may bi shipped by mail, but I hope I never have to share a postoffice with one! I'll close with this: from same source: "Few animals enjoy the travel distinction of la anonymous eat, bit SB6?sV, (gn. Wtl . Fulton Lewis Jr. aLja2tt!ZiiL2a WASHINGTON Four Democratic presidential candi dates who spoke at a recent convention of the left-wing Americans for Democratic Action were introduced by one of the nation's most notorious Communist frontiers a man who also has been labeled a World War I draft dodger by a committee of Congress. - President Truman, who de scribes his duties at th White House as "man killing," also found time away from hit work to address the assembled ADA mem bers. ADA wants to do away with the government's loyalty program and urges repeal of the Smith Act, under which numerous Commu nist party members are now be ing sent to jail. Mr. Truman did not mention this when he spoke. He chided ADA. however, for its previous support of Gen. Dwight D. Etscnhower for president. The general ought to be glad ADA has changed its mind about him. Roger Baldwin was presiding at the ADA session when W. Averell Harriman and Senators McM.ihon of Connecticut, Kefauver ofTcn nessee and Humphrey -of Minne sota were introduced with ruffles and flourishes. All four are Dem ocratic presidential aspirants, and ADA, of course, loves them all, just dandy. In addition to his membership in ADA, Baldwin also is head of the American Civil Liberties Un ion. The ACLU devotes about 90 per cent of its money and en ergy to working in behalf of Com munists and has been cited by the California Un-American Activ ities Committee as a Communist transmission belt. Baldwin also has been officially listed as either a member or spon sor of the following Communist fronts: American Friends of Spanish Democracy; Russian Reconstruc tion Farms. Inc., which was di rected by Harold Ware, founder of tha Alger Hiss-Lee Pressman Communist cell in the Department of Agriculture; Mother Ella Bloor birthday banqmt in 1936; A 1 1 American A n 1 1 - Imperialist Leagw; American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born; New York Ton, Mooney committee; prisoner's relief fund of the In ternational Labor Defense; North American Committee to aid Span ish Democracy; American Youth Congress; The American Student Union, and, to save space, at least seven more. In a report by the special House 1 Committee on Un-American Activ-1 Hies, January S, 1939, Baldwin is described as the managing direct or of the American Civil Liberties Union, "who served a term as draft evader in Essex County jail In New Jersey in 191819." It is, of course, too Into in the game for McMahon, Harriman. Humphrey and Kefauver to plead lhat they did not know what Bald win and the ADA represent. Humphrey is the ADA'S human phonograph who delights in prals- ing ADA on the Senate floor. Bald- ! win, by the same token, has been denounced in the presence of all : four candidates on numerous oc casions, J ( Having accepted the ADA invi which, with a Bihle, a copy of Constitution and a fresh peach'. was whooshed through the first pneumatic mail tube to be install ed in Manhattan more than .V) year ago," If THAT Isn't a com bination! The" Eyes" of Texas tation, It can then be assumed that the four cantridates seek ADA support and are in agreement with ADA alms. Besides desiring to do away with the loyalty program and the Smith Act, ADA consist ently attempts to ridicule the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation and its director, J. Edgar Hoover; it considered the Loyalty B o a r f" clearance of William Remington . great liberal victory. Mr. Truman, naturally. Is i sucker for any kind of politics support. He has taken it frorr and thieves. He therefore wouldn't find it difficult to subscribe to ADA aims and seek its support for a "liberal" Democratic can didate. , The ADA drooled over the pro spects of supporting anyone Mr. Truman names as his successor. ADA burned its fingers on Eisen hower In 1948, although the gen eral still has a number of creeps crawling over his bandwagon who should be in ADA if they are not. At any rate, when and if ADA indorses any one of the four Demo cratic candidates, he will instant ly be eligible to be asked wheth er he does or does not support the principles of ADA. The an swers should be interesting. Hear Ftdton Leiuit Daily On KRiXR, 9:15 P.M.
