Stanton Chief of Police Ted Mazac has had a rather rouifh go of it and has not been aided by his own actions in demand ing: a public hearing. He is, in our opinion, a victim of circumstances cir cumstances that would have enmeshed similarly even a much more experienced officer. We believe he should not be criti cized but should be permitted to retire with an expression of appreciation and thanks. We think the council acted wisely in not presenting "bill of particulars" as demanded by Mazac. Any complaints or specific charges, nom ot which would involve major fail ures, would be aside from the real reason for changing police department direction as a cure for basic troubles. Our city police department has long been in a troubled state. Members have been dissatisfied with wages, facilities and equipment. Efficiency is certain to suffer under such conditions. We have Been t steady flow of men on and off the department. As it takes years of experience to become a fully competent policeman, inexperience on the force has re duced efficiency. Mazac has been cauyht in the middle by all this confused situation. He was promoted from assistant chief to chief. He was one of those dissatisfied with conditions' while serv ing in the lower grades. Naturally he viewed with sympathy the gripes of his subordinates. While there may have been merit in his sympathetic attitude, the task of providing lead ership and inspiration was complicated thereby. Hat Been Conscientious Officer Mazac hag been a conscientious officer. He has worked ; hard at his job. He has been most cooperative with the ; public. ; This newspaper desires to express its appreciation for 1 the friendly cooperation he has given its reporters. : itoseourg nas nad a good deal ot trouble Keeping a -police chief. We hava had altogether too many changes in too few years. There must be reasons for this other than the qualifications of the man heading the department, for j we have had some able men directing the force. j. Perhaps it would be well to appoint a citizens committee to join with the council'? police committee and the city man- ; ager to make an investigation into just what is wrong with .the department and determine why it is so hard for us to ' keep personnel. One thing we know is wrong and that is the conception held by too many people concerning the department. Many people Btill think in the terms of a city marshal. They fail to appreciate how changing times haye affected the work of a police officer. The job is no longer one of giving the bum's rush to transient drunks, keeping livestock from ; running at large, and chaing kids and their bicycles off side walks. 4 . Special Training Needed A city police officer today needs training in traffic con trol. He must be a thorough student of crime prevention and detection procedure, involving highly technical subjects. He must be a master of pubiic relations. He must cope with " speed of transportation and communication. Police work has become a science. The job of police officer requires men of special talents and aptitudes. It is not possible to walk out on the street and pick up any man, pin a star on his chest and call him a police officer, while expecting efficiency. The Roseburg police department is undergoing reor ganization. Chief Mazac is out, largely through no fault of his own, other than inability to obtain efficiency with a force having little training or experience and suffering from a very low state of morale. Unless Mazac's successor can im prove morale and institute a successful training school; while stopping the turnover of personnel, he, too, will have a rough time.' Mazac, we feel, is "taking the rap" for public failure to search out the fundamental causes of unfavorable conditions existing in the department and to correct them by such means as might be found necessary, whether it be better salaries, replacements, facilities or other improvements. We have a new city budget which sets police salaries much lower than department members had asked. Any per son employed under this budget will know what he is to re ceive. He should not accept the job unless willing to work for that sum long enough to become a qualified officer, if the city can't get the right kind of men at the offered wage at least one of the reasons for existing conditions will be exposed. r' Irs mm: tan Fulton Lewis Jr. Mm m iff WASHINGTON The Federal Bureau of must be resigned by now to the fact that it probablv will be called upon to devote h lifetime proving that Alger Hiss is a uar, perjurer ana uommumst spy. With well-timed motion! and nn- peals alleging his innocence Hist has cluttered the court records with as strange a collection of devices and ideas as was ever presented to a federal judge. In almost everv instance II. s. Attorney Miles J. Lane, of New York, has called in FBI experts to supply the rebuttal facts while lie prepared the arguments des troying the fantastic claims. So far the team has been eminently sue. cessful, even to the point of dem onstrating the mockery of a $7,500 Ehony typewriter, built by experts ircd by Hiss, who were certain they could Drove the formnr a Mo of Secretary of State Dean Ache son a "victim of forgerv bv tvne- writer." The court held they 'had prnvea no sucn ining. perts. Chambers' brother-in-law had lived la the same residence from the day in 1937, when Chambers first secreted the documents in a dumbwaiter shaft. The FBI asked if the shaft had ever keen painted. It had been. Jjamples of paint from the wall, and samples that had spattered onto the envelope when the paint had been applied, were submitted to FBI laboratory technicians. The experts found that the paint on the wall and the paint on the en velope was ot the same manufac ture, texture and, more import ant, it had the same age span. I.est the Hiss defense forces nro. test that such findings are loaded against them, it can be pointed Federal Court records reveal ' out. ,nat FBI "Por'-' on the paint mm paper are avanaoie 10 defense attorneys. In fact, samples of the papers were snipped off and hand ed over to defense lawyers so that they could make an independent investigation. Next. Hiss defense fnrcp claim ed that the Hiss typewriter, which that one of the most difficult Doint: raisea oy ine aeiense was an alle gation that the envelope contain ing documents secreted in a dumb waiter by Whittaker Chambers, and the documents themselves, were phony. Chambers produced the docu Ings? if so, you know something nf the tragedy that is beginning already 10 siaiK our land. These people thought they were comfortably fin. ed for life. lnstead,,they find them selves lacing comparative poverty. It will be REAL poverty as the buying power of their dollars shrinks still further under grow ing inflation. Cruel things like that shouldn't happen to a dog. But that'a what inflation does. We"ve forgotten John Law and his Mississippi Bubble. But a sim ilar character is closer to us in time. He was Lord Maynard Key nes. He sold to our governing pow er ine idea that we could spend ourselves rich and pay off our debts by deficit financing. He sold the same idea in Britain. He has been gathered to his lathers, but we are beginning to pay the bill for the goods he sold us. The bill is being paid by the same kind of people who paid it in France a couple of centuries ago. Payment is being DODGED bv the same kind of people who dodged payment in France two hundred years and more ago. That is what Bernard Baruch means when he savs inflation will DESTROY us if we lack the wis dom and the fortitude to beat it while there is still time. Christian School Hel Needed As Paganism CANYONVILLE Sometimes the one-school idea is advanced as an argument in opposing Chris tian schools. If educators of na tional reputation insist that our country should be served by the public school system only, we do well to pause and reflect. Such insistence is a threat to all pri vate schools. It is sure that if this one-school Idea should be come a dominant conviction in our legislative halls, our Chris tian schools would soon be outlaw- ed. Let us consider the implications of a one-school (state-school) sys tem for our country: (1) State monopoly of education would spell the ultimate doom of Christianity in the foremost so called Christian nation in . the world. Whereas in former days the public school was largely "a community project, today what we call public instruction is a state or Federal project. In such schools religion, which should be the integrating factor of the cur riculum, has no place. Make no mistake about this: the one-school idea, in this nation in which stak and religion are separate, wnul mean that our erstwhile Christiat nation would fast become dominantly pagan nation. (2) Speaking mora positively state monopoly of education a:, now proposed by national and United Nations' educational plan ners would be a decisive victory for the anti-God forces in this country. The present leaders ad vocating the one-school idea for our nation are not motivated by the idea of melting and welding the various immigrant ingredients of our country into the American way of life. Rather, they have in mind the defrosting of the Amer ican way of life and the reshaping of this life in the melting pot of one world a world that knows not the God of Scripture, a world that is bent on substituting the wisdom of this world for the only true wisdom, the wisdom of God. (3) The practical consequences of a state monopoly of - education would likewise be revolutionary. It would prostitute our once fam ed education and reduce it to a political propaganda e-3ncy. With out the competition of private ed ucational institutions, state educa tion would further lower and per vert its educational standards and would eventually stymie all true educational progress. It would make our children and our chil dren's children the victims of a foreign ideaology at a time when they can least defend themselves. More than that, the proposed one school i state school) would de prive thousands of Christian par ents of their God-given privilege and duty to bring up their chil dren in the fear of our all-glorious Lord. We believe that God has in vested authority to educate chil dren in their parents. God grant that in our own land of the free, parents may never be denied their inalienable right to train their children in the liqht which the Lord has given. Let's preserve our constitutional right of reli 'ous liberty in America. ' Christian schools contribute greatly to the strength and morale fibre of our nation. ROBERT SCHAFFER Canyonville.
