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

On my way home from Southern
California the Catalina plane set
down at Long Beach In a 50-mile

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

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 :

casions, J (

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

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.
