Stanton While loitering around the airport a few day. ago, watching the activities at the field, Dr. L. W. Carter, ;mfnagerVea8urer of the Umpqua Flying Club, invited ui to take a.flight with him. . , No one has to twist our arm when an airplane ride la In prospect. We love to fly, just so long as we don t have to pi lot the ship. We lost interest in handling a plane, when keep ing the ship in trim prevented us from searching out new fishing spots. We'd lots rather just go along for the ride in stead of watching the altimeter, tachometer, manifold pres sure, propellor pitch, flaps, compass, radio, lights, and a. doz en more dinguses, while scanning the air for other planes, 'and keeping a sharp lookout for a possible emergency land ing spot in case of engine failure. t?..4. ,v.- nmoa in iimfc Innl ni at scenery spread out below us, while some other person has the responsibility for keeping us right sida up, we qualify as an aviation eninusiasu Con See Roseburg Grow While Carter was flying us around the town, we kept ' wishing we could have some of Kosemirg s ino. i sKepucs ue Mb iir.

VinnrrfnH farm acres thnt look so attractive from the air. Growth is seen in all directions, but especially to the west and northwest. It is so much more evident from the air than from the ground. From the plane one sees the pic ture as a whole. From the ground he sees only fragments. Expansion Trends Evident We can recall how, shortly after the first World War, we used to ride with the frequent aerial barnstormers, and how we flew in the forest patrol planes. And how, throughout the years, we have watched from the air the city's progress. By recalling those scenes, even though dimly, we could make the city's growth appear before our eyes as on a set of chron ological slides. Then, by using the eye of imagination, we could see fu ture scenes a broad highway slashing through the west side of the city, carrying new residential growth to the south, opening up new market center areas, developing property to the west and north. And. bv gazing off to the southeast and east, where we could see the snow-topped peaks of Mt. McLoughlin, Crater Rim, Mt. Bailey, Dinmonc' Peak and other high points along the Cascade summit, we hadbetween us and those scenic marvels a stupendous blanket' of "ffreen gold" from which this exDanding community is to draw riches as yet undream ed of; riches that will come from products, some of which are not yet invented or discovered. It is an inspiring thing to get up into the clean air, where vision is not obstructed by the material things, and take a look at what Cod has created for us in the form of a wonderful place in which to live, with a wealth of resource to be used for profit and enjoyment. We hope that if you have a friend who belongs to the Umpqua Flying Club you'll go out ami "mooch" a ride. We imagine any of the boys would be glad to accommodate you, if you'll pay for the gasoline and plane time which we didnt. But, if you get the opportunity, don't miss it. Then the next time you hoar a skeptic sounding off with his peaai , mistic drivel, let him have both barrels. You'll have plenty of ammunition. Fulton Lewis Jr. r v a im i i WASHINGTON, California Democrats are still try ing to send left-wing New Dealers to the U. S. Congress. The latest effort Is the result of In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) ENDING BASKET Would you like to name book? Here ii your opportunity. The Po. clry Clinic, poetry section o( the Roseburg Writers Club, Is offer ing a prize for the title accepted for the volume of poetry to be published some timo this summer. The contest is of special interest to people in this area because the poetry group is also inviting po ems from Douglas County and Umpqua Territory poets. To make the whole thing a little more at tractive, the first priie of $15 will bo doubled If the winner has In cluded an order for one or more copies of the book. Only a dollar a copy. It's a nice Idea. Seems to me most anybody would like to have a volume of poetry by Douglas County poets especially if the names are familiar ones. The con test for the title closes June 20, so don't delav. Mail to I'oetry Clinic, P.O. Box 3.'2, Roseburg. Oh yes, one more thins: If you send in a poem that has been pub lished you must have copyright permission to use; otherwise they wish unpublished, original poetry by Douglas County poets. Which makes me think: the cur rent Author tc Journalist is fea turing "How To Wrlta TRAVEL Articles" and most helpfully, what to do with such a manuscrlp'. nfter it Is written. There is a compre hensive list of markets with hint to guide you in selection. However, It s a good Idea, if tossible. examine at least one issue of th publication you decide to try. And If you are a beginner, remember magazines are made up months aheadl The market list also In cludes the Sunday supplements, usually low pay but worth .vhile. So while you are motoring or fly ing hither and thither this sum mer consider an article about it. You never can tell! (Don't forget that title for the book of poetry by Douslas County poctsl Before June 20.) ATTACHMENT PILED A writ of attachment has been filed on the Hucrest property of H. T. Reber for recovery of mon ey. Plaintiff W. H. Gerretsen filed 1 complaint for recovery of $t00.. 63 from Reber for goods and mer chandise which were allegedly not paid for, according to th complaint the June 3 primary contest in the new 22nd District in California. Professor Dean M. McHenry, sup ported by left-wing and radical elements, won the Democratic pri mary against six opponents, lie will be opposed by a political nov ice, Joseph Holt, a wounded ma rine who cut his political eye teem In 1950 as a campaign assistant to Senator Richard Nixon, Repub lican of California. Holt beat Jack Tenney in the GOP primary. California's new 22nd District embraces nonywooo aim laigc section of the San Fernando Val ley. It is populated by farmers, motion picture Industry employees and aircraft plant workers. Vari ous congressional committees, In vestigating subversive activities In Hollywood and in innusiry, nave made an Impact in the area sj the residents know the difference between left and right. Mrllenrv teaches political sci ence at the University of Califor nia. He has had a curious History of avowed distaste for Communists while serving in various organiza tions cluttorel Willi neas or nor rierllne Muscovites who admire Stalin but won't admit it publicly. From 1943 to 1945 McHenry scrv d on the board of directors of the People's Educational Center, inis is an oftshool ot me notorious wi munlst labor school of San Fran Cisco. It was set up to teach Marx ism, and did so with gusto. Democrat McHenry now says tht the moment a known Comma nist joined the board ot directors he nuit. This makes him anti-com munist, he avers, but in so noing h overlooks the fact that for professor he is Intolerably slow In learning the lacis oi uie. nur n the time Mclienry was on the board of directors of tl People's Educational Center, Com munist Bruce Minion was an In structor in Marxism. Minton was later thrown out of the party when he got too palsy with Earl Browd er. deposed head of U.S. Reds. Most Calfiornians who could read were aware of the fact that Min ton admired Moscow. Also on the faculty, hired by the board of directors, were Alvah Bessie. Herbert Bihcrnun, John Howard Lawson and assorted oth er Hollywood Reds made famous for their contempt of Congress and subsequent jail terms. At the time the People's Educa tional Center was organized, al most all maior California news. e papers noted that It was spawned by the Communist worxers arnooi. In fact, the director of the Work ers School staled publicly that the objectives of it and the TF.C were one and the same. McHenry joined the hoard of di rectors nevertheless. He had this to sav to the California Un-American Activities Committee, when It asked if he was In sympathy with communism: "1 am not In sympathy with It and I think 1 know something about It." H we accept Mcllenry's answer at face value he should have known that Meyer Ftieden was a teacher at the PEC. Friedcn was a known organizer of the Young Communist League in California. He should have known that I.co Blizelman was a PEC f.iculty member. Bigelman was a former instructor of the Ixis Angeles Com munist Workers School. McHenry should have Vnown that Jules Carson was on the PEC faculty. Carson was an instructor at the Communist Tom mooney Labor School. Even a professor knows that Frieden, Bigelman and Carson could not have been Instructing in tiddlediwlnks. But McHenry, who admits he knows something about Communism, hung around the PEC with them for three years. McHenry has the loving en dorsement of the Americans for Democratic Action, a haven for left-wing New Dealers. In fact, he was chairman of an ADA dinner given for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt when she got back home from one of her globe trotting tours. Naturally, Mrs. Roosevelt made a speech, praising McHenry. Republican ilolt, wno nas never belonged to a Red front or been to tea with Mrs. Roosevelt, found out about Communists the hard way. He shot some In Korea. He has his work cut out tor mm now, too, in the 22nd District of Califor nia. nominated by the Republicans would provide a clear cut choice between what we have had and a CHANGE. Personally, I think that would be a good thing. In Detroit, Ike tells a breakfast rally of his supporters that his basic concern for and his love of America Is the sole basis for his quest of the Republican Presidcn. tial nomination. He adds: - "If this honest, decent approach Is not enough well, that is all I can do. I am not a medicine man and I have no panacea for all our ills If I make blunders, I hope my friends will excuse them. Such as I have is America's."

I'm tired of medicine men whose Kickapoo In dian Sagwa is the sure cure for EVERYTHING.

Decisions made on that ba sis are the kind of decisions we need at this critical period in our history for what .is Dest lor our country is best for all of us. Experienced Campaigners Aiding Senator Taft In Bid For Presidency By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON WP) Win or lose, at least Senator Taft has had expert help in trying for the presidency. The men around him are a bunch'of pros. So were those around Gov.' Dewey when he twice got the Republican nomination. This time, however, Dewey is In Gen. Eisenhower's corner. So are some of his men. Being an old campaigner, Taft started his try early. He an nounced his candidacy last Oc tober. Taft and his squad work hard, and no one harder than Taft. He has set something like an all-America n record for speech making. There are two Taft headquarters. The one here, the political head luarters, is called "The Taft Com-nlttee."-The other, in New York, s named "Citizens For Taft." Eisenhower has a political head quarters here and another in New York, called "Citizens For Eisen hower." Organizations Aiding In addition to regularly paid staffs, both men get office help from volunteers. And there are various Taft and Eisenhower or ganizations around the country. lairs cousin, David S. Ingalls, Is chairman of the Taft committee here. The New York headquarters is headed by Lt. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer, the only non-pro in this story. There are no stars in the eves of the Taftian pros who work out of the Washington office. They know exactly what they're doing. They've been in politics a long t time. Like Taft. his cousin Ingalls is an Ohioan, a lawyer, and a Yale man. Besides time spent as a navv captain and undersecretary of the Navy, tne gray-haired pleasant ' Ingalls has beed in politics since I the 1920's. He helped Taft In his successful campaign for re-election to the Senate in 1950. , Has Station's Ex-Aid ' j Thomas E. Coleman, a lean and j sharp-eyed industrialist from Mad- j ison. Wis., is one of the key men around Taft. He was Harold Stas-1 sen's campaign manager in 1948, i when Stassen got nowhere. He's in charge of Taft's campaign in the midwest, where he's been in I politics a long time. The Taft ' people picked him to be their floor 1 manager at the convenUon. i Still in his thirties, Richard L. Guylay handles Taft's publicity. Although his regular job is with a New York public relations firm. ! he's no political amateur either. He steered Taft's publicity In that 1950 campaign. Then there's John D. M. Hamil ton, who was chairman of the Re publican National Committee back in the 1930's when Governor Alt Landon got the Republican nomina tion DUl losi in crasmng aeicai w President Roosevelt. Hamilton has been a figure in Republican politics ever since. Iowa-born, he has roots in Kansas where he practices law. He's prac ticing now in Philadelphia. Other Experienced Man Two other top Taft lieutenants are congressmen: Clarence Brown, an Ohio publisher, and Carroll YOUTH DP.0WNI y UMATILLA, Ore. - Doland r Wishrack. a 17-year-old umauiia youth, drowned Tuesday when he stepped Into a deep hole while wad ing in Cold Springs.

Nearly a century ago when, i aa now, we faced proDiems ot tne i gravest sort Josiah Gilbert Hoi-; land, in his poem The Day's De- mand, put it about as well as It can be put. I've quoted him before, and I d like to quote rum again: God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faiths, and ready hands: Men whom the lust of office does not kill; ; Men whom the spoils of office ; can not buy: Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who I will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. It wasn't somebody's Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, at a dollar a bottle, that saved us then, lt was MEN. Men of the kind desciibed by Gil bertwho was better known at that time by his pen name of Timothy Tltcombe. It is men who will save us now. I'm for Ike be-' cause I think he Is the kind of man we need. Myrtle Ck.
