LET'S SEE YOU TUESDAY
' By Charles V. Stanton
Will we Bee you Tuesday?
Hundreds of people throughout the United States will
not be alive Tuesday morning. They have but one or two
days to live. . Carelessness, negligence, overindulgence and
irresponsible conduct will bring about the untimely deaths
of an estimated 600 or more persons. Will you be one of the
victims?
We are preparing for a holiday weekend. For many
people this will be their last fling before settling down to the
long autumn and winter grinds. They will be out to make
the best of the two or three days they have available.
Warnings fly thick and fast. Our newspapers are full
of cautionary advice. Airwaves carry somber warnings both
by radio and television. But despite the millions of written
and spoken words, the holiday will demand its toll because
those words go unheeded.
' Some victim might be a reader of this column. We
sincerely hope not, for we love our readers. It might be the
writer of this column. Then we wouldn't have to worry
about readership. We have no way of knowing who might
be the victim of his own or another's mistake.
Death Estimates Made
The National Safety Council tells us that an unprece
dented number of automobiles will be on our already over
crowded highways. -Experts, who have been surprisingly
accurate, estimate that 480 persons will be killed in auto
mobile accidents alone. Added to this will be drownings,
falls, fires and many other accidents. .
Says the Oregon State Motor Association : V
Sxtreme caution on tho .part of ill drivori' will bo roquirod If
tvoryono it to got back homo lift and sound.
Don't drink if you drivo. Bo especially caroful whllo driving
: at night. Bo pationt in heavy traffic. Don't try to "make good
time."
Another type of warning is made by the U. S. Forest
Service. Thousands upon thousands of persons will flock
into our national forests to enjoy the holidays. Forest Serv
ice Regional Fire Chief Kermit W. Linstedt has issued the
following: ,
With Labor Day weekend beckoning to Pacific Northwest holi
day planners, the need for continued caution with fires in and near
forested areas Is stressed. '
Death will not tako a holiday this coming weekend and neither
' will tho groat forest destroyer fire. We mutt remember that in
past years September has been the month in which the majority
of our most devastating flrt have occurred.
Damage estimated at $8,970,500 was caused by forest fires en
national forest land in 1951. Careless campers, hikers and touring
vacationers usually aren't aware of the tremendous ennual loss of
Oregon and Washington payroll dollars resulting from forest con
flagrations. In addition, Intanglbla but highly important wildlife
nd recreation values are destroyed.
During the 19S1 fire season in the Pacific Northwest, more than
42,000 acres of land Inside national forest bounderies were burned
over compared to an annual average of 1,541 acres In the period
141?50.
Protect Lives And Forests : . -
The bulletin adds that the 1952 fire season will not be
over until fall rains have eliminated the danger. "It is up
to citizens of the Northwest to help protect their jobs, their
forested acres and their national heritage."
' To that we might add that it is up to citizens of the
Northwest to protect their lives. Otherwise their jobs,
forests and national heritage
, We can protect ourselves only if we first realize the
danger that surrounds us. Aware of the danger, we must
use caution; drive safely, play carefully, avoid overexertion
and overindulgence, and pray
quences of the other fellow's
lor remaining alive until Tuesday.
We hope that we'll all be
we will be seeing you then.

a grass fire on the Hucbner and

A neighbor, Frank Cunningham,
happened to see it start. The
Jluobners wcro away from home.
Mr. Cunningham promptly called
Uie warden, and he himself went
to the fire to do what he could.
Others joined him. A logger pass

"beat them out here!"

WASHINGTON Employees of the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization are paid
tax-free salaries, provided with pensions, insurance and sick
ness and accident benefits.
The director-general and all
members of the staff of UNESCO
are international civil servants,
and their responsibilities are not
national but exclusively interna
tional in character. UNESCO em
ployes, including Americans, take
the following oath of office when
employed:
"I solemnly undertake to exer
else in all loyalty, discretion and
conscience the functions entrust.
ed to me as a member of the
staff of UNESCO, to discharge
these functions and regulate my
conduct with the interests of
UNESCO only in view, and not
seek or accept instructions in re'
gard to the performance of my
duties from any government i.r
other authority external to the or
ganization. '
UNESCO members are forbid
den to communicato to any person
any unpublished information and
are warned to be trTscrect in the
discussion of their official duties
It is difficult to reconcile this with
UNESCO'S frequent attempts to
establish a world-wide "free1
press and eliminate what it calls
"state control of information."
UNESCO employes are also in
structed to:
"Pledge themselves to discharge
their functions and to regulate
their conduct with the interest of
the UNESCO only In view. They
shall not seek nor receive instruc
tions regarding their duties from
any government or from any oth
er authority external to the organ
ization, neither shall they become
candidates for any public office
of a political character. '
Under regulation 35, UNESCO
employes are granted the follow,
ing privileges:
"Subject to such conditions as
may be prescribed by the director
general, UNESCO shall pay the
removal cost, travel expenses and
travel allowances of members of
the staff:
1. Upon appointment by the
secretariat and on subsequent
change of official station.
2. When they are authorized
to take home leave.
'3. Upon the termination of ap
pointment; however, in cases of
termination of appointment by res
ignation or dismissal en grounds
of serious misconduct, the director-general
may withhold the
whole or part of these allowances
subject to an appeal to the appeals
board.
"4. In appropriate cases travel
expenses of the wife and children
of such staff members may be
paid.
The director-general shall is
sue special rules to cover chil
dren s allowances, education al
lowances and other allowances,
following, where practicable, the
principles adopted by the United
Nations."
Actual UNESCO salaries, allow
ances and travel expenses are not
made public. Some UNESCO em
ployes, interrogated by congres
sional committees, have admitted
being paid as high as $17,000 an
nually. In one instance a former
government employe who scurried
to the international organization
with the hot breath of a loyalty
Investigation on her neck, was em
ployed at an annual salary of S12.-
000. She had been drawing $4,000
in her federal government job.

and Indemnity equivalent to at
least three months' salary. The
amount of the indemnity is in
creased with the length of service
to a maximum of nine months'
salary. -
A UNESCO staff member who
is injured as the result of an ac
cident incurred in the course of
his duty, or who is compelled to
quit because of illness, receives
compensation and medical care.
If a UNESCO staff member dies,
compensation is paid to his widow
and dependents. The amount is
set at the discretion of the director-general.

Progress Of U.S.
Army Described
By Secy. Pace
NEW YORK Un Secretary of the
Army Pace said today the Army
has made "substantial and heart
ening" progress since the start of
the Korean War.
flack only a few days from in
specting American troops in Eu
rope, Pace made the statement in
a speech prepared for delivery at
the National Convention of the
American Legion.
Regarding the state of the Army,
Pace said the facts "fairly lead
to a conclusion of cautious optim
ism, tempered by the considera
tion of tenuous problems that lie
ahead."
In the 26 months since the Ko
rean conflict began, he said, the
Army has grown from 593,000 men
to more than 1,550,000.
"Our training system" he said
"is second to none in the world."
"The quality of our leadership,"
he went on, "as well as the num
bers (of officers) available, is sub
stantially better than when we
started our buildup for World War
II."
Weapons have improved too.
Pace said, "and the potential of
the atom will in the future be
added to our firepower in the form
of guided missiles and artillery."
Furthermore, he said, "our re
serve contains more combat vet
erans than at any time in our
Army's history." He added that
many of the more than 300,000 sol
diers that have returned from Ko
rea under the rotation plan have
gone into tne reserves

tacking other Americans.
"What can we say for the man
who proclaims himself a patriot
and then, for political or per
sonal reasons, attacks the patriot
ism of faithful public servants?"
I know, governor. You're refer
ring to McCarthy, who is the pet
hate of all the pinkos. I haven't
much use for his type, either. '
BUT
What shall we say for the Alger
Hisses who held high and confi
dential posts in their government
and all the time were selling their
country down the river to the
enemy of mankind?
There are two sides to this
character assassination business.
Senator Nixon, now Republican
Vice-Presidential Nominee Nixon,
knows better than anybody else
the hate and the poison and the
character smearing that were
spewed by the pinkos (some of
them in high places) upon EVERY'
BODY who had a finger in bring
ing hiss to DOOK.
Political sidelight:
"On the horns of a political di
lemma is Louisiana's Senator El-
lender. He's blazing at Adlai
Stevenson for coming out against
state control of offshore oil. As a
Democrat, Ellender feels bound to
vote for Stevenson. But, he says,
he certainly doesn't have to cam
paign for Stevenson so he'll stay
home."
That's the political PROFES
SIONAL for you. He can't fight
for what he believes in and he
can't fight against what he doesn't
believe in. He can't be sincere,
because he has to CONFORM. He
has to DO as the herd does and
THINK as the herd thinks. He
can't ever be himself.
Personally, I think the outcome
of this ycar-of-decision election will
be determined NOT by the pro
fessionals but by us millions of
average citizens who know what
we want and don't have to con
form to the h'erd pattern.
What do we want?
Chiefly, I think, we want leader
ship we can believe and trust.
I reckon you've noticed that the
National Plowing Contest brass has
finally decided it can afford to take
a chance on having both Eisen
hower and Stevenson at its furrow
turning blowout at Kasson, Min
nesota, on September 8.
Why all the backing and filling?
I suppose they feared the pres
ence of two Presidential candidates
in one small town would take peo
ple's minds off the plowing job.

Editorial Comment
From The Oregon Press
ADA ANO ADLAI
Salem Capital Journal '
Though the 1952 presidential
campaign has hardly begun, it
has progressed far enough to em
phasize the important role of the
ADA and the Adlai Stevenson cam
paign. The initials stand for Ameri
cans for Democratic Action, a
left wing organization made up of
leaden and others, organized five
years ago, acting as a "brain
trust" for radicals.
The ADA is non-communist and
non - partisan though it has al
ways worked for democrats. It
seems to follow the same pattern
and objectives as the British La
borites and is therefore socialistic
in its aims. Indeed, during the re
cent democratic convention, its
leaders sought to drive some of the
southern states out of the demo
cratic party and make the party a'
labor party outright, though four
years ago many ADA members
wanted General Eisenhower for
president on the democratic tick
et. ' U.S. News and World Report, In
defining what the ADA really is,
says:
"The answer In Its simplest
terms is that the ADA is sort of an
idea factory and policy-forming
agency for a variety of labor and
independent organizations, all of
them 'liberal' or 'leftish' in thought
and direction. Its leadership and
backing are heavily weighted with
union leaders and labor-union di
rection. And the labor-union ele
ment, in turn, is hefty with CIO
men.
"In its upper levels, ADA re
fleets the views of labor unions,
racial organizations, civic groups,
'liberal' agencies. Members form
a connecting link between ADA
and these organizations, present
ing the arguments of their own
organizations, presenting the argu
ments of their own organizations
to ADA councils, taking back to
their organizations the ideas gen
erated in ADA. In this manner,
ADA becomes the fuse that unites
'liberal' though behind a common
program.
"Down in the ranks, however,
ADA has many men and women
who belong as individuals and
speak and act for themselves only.
Among these are churchmen, farm
leaders, negro leaders, college pro
fessors, economists, intellectuals.
These come together in their home
communities in local ADA chap
ters, or affiliated organizations,
"Altogether there are some 35,
000 members of ADA in 130 chap
ters in 40 states." ,t
As far as is known, Adlal Stev
enson is not a member of the ADA,
but he has appointed Wilson Wyatt
of Louisville, Ky., former federal
housing expediter, first national
chairman of the ADA as campaign
manager, and Arthur M. Schlesing
er, Jr., Harvard professor, vice
chairman of the ADA as adviser
Gambling Law
Tax Yield Far
Below Hopes '
By FRANK O'BRIEN
WASHINGTON ( The Bureau
of Internal Revenue says the law
Congress wrote last year to make
gamblers pay taxes a move de
signed both to put them out of
business and to raise revenue is
just not working.
Not much money has been col
lected in taxes, and gambling is
still widespread, it said this week
in a monthly activity report re
viewing what has happened be
tween the time the law went into
effect last November up to the
end of fiscal year 1952 on June 30-
Tle law provided that certain
gamblers must register as such
and buy a SS0 occupation stamp
each year, and then pay a tax
amounting to 10 per cent of their
total take.
The bureau said in its report of
the eight-month period:
"When reviewed in the light of
expectations of the legislators, Ine
wagering tax provisions have failed
to produce the desired results . . ,
It appears that the tax yield in a
full year of operations will be about
eight million dollars, or 2 per cent
of the original estimate of 400 mil
lions. As a regulatory measure, the
provision may prove equally non
effective.
No Funds For Detection
The report said there had been a
"marked decline in large bookmak-
Ing operations, (but) considerable
activity exists m the field of lot
tery, such as policy, numbers,
baseball pools, etc., which is go
ing untaxed. ... In the absence
of- funds to investigate it is dif
ficult to keep pace with viola
lations. . . ."
The report also said a decision
by the Pennsylvania District Court
that the gambling tax law is un
constitutional has hampered prose
cution, as cases are being held up
pending a Supreme Court decision.

and ghost-writer. Others in the
working group around the candi
date are close to the ADA.
Many of the democratic leaders
are tied up with the ADA, which
has endorsed proposals to push the
U.S. further and further into the
socialist orbit. It has demanded'
abolition of loyalty tests, of the
committees on un-American activ
ities and the security acts, and de
nounced the FBI investigations
and prosecution of communist ac
tivities, supported U.S. policies in
Asia which lost China, and. de
manded recognition of Red China.
In domestic policies the ADA has
endorsed socialized medicine, the
Brannan farm subsidy plan, and
the plan for river authorities, etc.,
etc. So, many democrats are un
easy over the influence the ADA
might exercise over Adlai Steven
son if elected president. The ADA
is not on record as protesting Rus
sia's bloody tyranny abroad nor
waste at home.
