TOllfc .... when that man sets nimseii up as a Beu-pimesseu i-ei-e-sentative of a class or group of people, or when he assumes the role of leadership, his reasons for changing his mind ehould show sincerity, honesty and consistency. Senator Wayne Morse, Oregon's junior senator, was among the early drumbeaters for Eisenhower for presi dent. He was one. of the delegates who aided in Eisenhow er's nomination at the Chicago convention. He pledged his fullest support and cooperation. . When Eisenhower and Taft composed their differences and began working on the same team, Morse began to cool off rapidly. He went into his tent. He said he would still vote for Eisenhower but withdrew his offer to campaign for the general. ,Now he has gone still further and says he will vote for Stevenson. It is entirely within his rights to change his mind. He has the American privilege to vote for whomever he pleases. But Morse designates himself as the representative of "Independent Republicans." He professes to be a "Liberal Republican." . He sets himself up as a political leader for the independent voters. Thus his reasons for changing his mind should be based on sound foundation. Consistency In Position Lacking We find, however, a great lack of consistency between the senator's earlier statements and his reasons for desert ing to Stevenson. We find inconsistency in his supposed ad herence to constitutional government and his endorsement of the Democratic nominee; also in his reasoning. In March of this year, Morse wrote that he believed Eisenhower "would give the country the type of leadership that would unite our peoDlo and renew their faith in the future of our country." Morse now switches his allegiance to the party in which the people have no confidence a fact he recognized when he first came out for' Ike. In March Morse said : "Eisenhower would maintain our prestige with and have the support of our allies. Not only that, but I think under his leadership in the White House he would weld the military support of our allies into the de fenseful freedom which would make clear to Russia that she would have everything to lose and nothing to gain by a third world war." Now he says: "Sound liberalism which is dedicated to placing welfare of all of our people at all times above those selfish interests which seek to exploit our people would have little influence in Eisenhower's adminis tration because it would be dominated' by the military and by the reactionaries." . In March Morse said : "I think Eisenhower is especially - fitted for the presidency at this time because of his remark able ability to work out consctonable compromises among conflicting points of view." Now he says : "Eisenhower is not telling the truth when in political desperation he now claims he has not entered into unconscionable compromises with the reactionaries In the Republican party. I know he has. His surrender at Morningside Heights and his endorse ment of candidates whose reelection would threaten civil liberties and human rights at home -and peace in the world disqualify him for the presidency of the United States." Why Wis Mors. "Mistaken?" , iituta dkj a e iiuivi nuie a 11,1,11 uu ,uui'ivvvi r uuiiiiu- sioned about any man as I am about Eisenhower. The dem agoguery, double-talk, and dangerous desertion by Eisen hower in this campaign of his once professed political prin ciples leaves me with no honorable course of action but to disassociate myself completely from his candidacy." Demagoguery indeed! Even admitting Junior's claim to be true, can he hold that Harry's whistle-stop campaign ing, or the big-lie and character smfearing technique of the party he now joins, is less demogogic? Would Morse, the great exponent of constitutional gov ernment, have Ike violate constitutional intent, by tres passing upon states' rights and the demarcation between executive and legislative functions by repudiating "reac tionaries," elected by the people of sovereign states. Senator Morse climbed on the Eisenhower bandwagon early. There was a belief in the public mind at. thnt time that Ike would possibly be the Democratic nominee. Morse was snubbed by the Eisenhower crowd. His own state delegation cut him out of a coveted committee appoint ment His offer to stump the country on Ike's behalf was left on the table. Then, to top it all off, General Ike, whose ability to "work out conscionable compromises" was prais ed by Morse last March, worked out a compromise with the Taft forces, healing what could have been a serious rupture in the party. Morse violently dislikes Taft. That was one reason he was such an ardent supporter of Eisenhower. Could it be that the Morse switch to Stevenson is based on pique because he was so roundly snubbed and Sidetracked and because he failed to become the general's bosom pnl r while his political arch enemy was taken into the fold? Is his ego suffering? If so, the reasons given by the senator for his widely . publicized change of opinion do not befit a man of the posi tion to which Morse pretends. Douglas county may well be firoud of Camas Valley, particu arly its Grange. I was just read ing in the Oregon Grange Bulletin that "Camas Valley Grange picked up where It left off in 1951 Na tional Grange-Sears Roebuck foun dation community service contest and came in FIRST in the 1952 contest . . ."as state winner, Cam as Valley receives two $100 sav ings bonds and the opportunity to compete in ,the $24,000 national contest," And what did the Grangers In Camas Valley do to achieve state- Ore.

They continued their 1951 program with the added feature of construction of a 41x90 Grange hall, which, when com pleted in the near future, will also serve other community needs. "The new building," says the Grange Bulletin, "is complete in every respect, with elevated stage, dressing rooms, lavatories, kitch en, cloakrooms and nursery. The floor is constructed of laminated 2xi's. During the 1952 contest the Grange completed the construction of an attractive five-room parson age for use by the family of the His JuijtmefoUtki Copyright 1952, King Features Syndicate v WASHINGTON Russian jet3 continue to shoot down unarmed U. S. aircraft in the Pacific. Russian officers continue to direct Chinese Communist troops killing American boys in Korea. Senate investigators continue to expose what most of us have known all along, that the United Nations is a tax-free haven for imported and domestic Communists. Secretary of State Dean Ache- son, In an effort to whitewash him self and his department prior to the November elections, continues to threaten the Soviet delegation at the United Nations general as sembly in New York with further UN action unless the Russians behave. The threat, I presume, consists of promises of more Koreas. This probably frightens the Soviet dele gates out of their wits, although thus far it seems that Acheson, rather than the Russians, is be reft of them. As of today the Russians have lost one soldier in the Korean war that we know of. We have his body buried in a Korean grave. He fell or was shot out of an air plane. The State Department was frightfully embarrased over what to do with the body but finally buried the Soviet airman in a "noncombatant's" gravel We have suffered more than 125, 000 casualties in Korea, including many of our scarce jet fighter aces. And the State Department now considers the Korean war stabilized if we lose no more than 30,000 fighting men annually. The administration has admitted that under its guidance the Korean war may last as long as ten years. Stalin also has a ten-year plan. He recently announced his willing ness to face ten more years of cold war, which fits in nicely with Acheson's plans. The secretary of state is the sole government official of polit ical importance who hasn't as yet been successfully whitewashed by Mr. Truman. Not that the Presi dent hasn't tried, just as he did with Gen. Harry Vaughan, but the few forays Acheson has made onto public platforms has convinced the White House that he still needs a lot more favorable attention. Mr. Truman gets a flock of nasty let ters every time he lets his sec- minister of the local church. Wir ing for the parsonage was done by the 4-H Klectrilitcs, a club sponsored by the Grange and led by the master, Lee Wilson. "The Grange further assisted the church financially by turning over the revenues of a talent show to it. Eight of the Sunday School teachers and the superintendent are members of the Grange. Mem bors also do the local janitor work. The Grange also assisted the local school In various ways. , . "The Camas Valley community fire truck was completely paid for in June 1952 through funds donated by individuals, Grange money-raising events, etc. The Grange is continuing to give fi nancial support to the mainten ance of the truck which has al ready quelled several dangerous fires.

I mentioned my interest in the above story to Mrs. M.irlon Yoder, one of the C.V. members, and she exclaimed: "And the Bul letin story didn't tell ALL-I" Mrs. Yoder is going to add to the story (there wasn't time just then) so there will be more in this column about Oregon's First-Place win ner, the Camas Valley Grange. Favorite Spot for retary of state loose on the public. The UN General Assembly meet ing is Acheson's big chance to con vince you and me that he is the hottest thing to come up against the Communists since the Patton tank. Acheson and the Russians are the only two of the "Big Four" yet in New York. The British foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, and the French foreign minister, Robert Schuman, are staying away until after the U.S. presidential election in No vember. Both can smell a politi cal shindig as easily as they can detect an overripe red herring. In anticipating his triumph, Acheson is operating on much the samejlevel of international diplo macy that existed at Yalta and Potsdam. Alger Hiss was on the stage then, and according to his handwritten notes, just published by the McCarran senate internal security subcommittee, he sat right behind President Roosevelt, whispering in his ear and then running off to tell the Russians what the President had replied. All week long UN and State De partment employes have been whispering in Acheson's car. There is one UN aide in particular I've looked for, but so far he hasn't joined the secretary of state. He is Alfred J. Van Tassel, chief of a UN technical division, who only a few days ago found it ex pedient to plead self-incrimination in refusing to discuss whether or not he had ever been a Commu nist party members. The McCarran subcommittee Is in the process of wringing the Reds out of the UN, especially those Americans who beat it off the State Department payroll when Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and others started questioning their al legiance, if any, to the USA. Of course; we taxpayers are still pick ing up the check for Van Tassel and the others, and it's tax-free for them, since they operate in a world government vacuum, un touchable insofar as the laws of the USA are concerned. Well, all I can say is that if Acheson convinces anybody he's going to outsmart the Russians this go around, then we had better prepare for another blizzard of ba loney from the White House. Mr. Truman says Acheson Is the greatest secretary of state in his tory. Let's wait until the General Assembly adjourns before we buy that one. I'm going to, anyway.

In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) Deal-Fair Deal administrations have been bringing upon us. All you wanted was to DEFEAT AND DESTROY TAFT, who is your sworn and hated enemy! So " When Ike, instead of publicly carving Taft's vitals out and throwing his carcass out of the Republican, yard, accepted his help in the huge and vastly im portant task of throwing the Tru man crowd out of Washington, vou joined the Truman crowd IN ORDER TO DEFEAT IKE. Truman, a smart politician, un derstood what had happened and showed his gratitude to you in Klamath Falls by praising you to the skies. OK, senator. You're In the New Deal,-Fair Deal gang now. You're a part of the d nasty. You've got a big block of trading stock. If Ike is defeated, you'll have a valid claim to the position of the spar row in the old doggerel: Who killed Cock Robin? "I." said the sparrow, "With mv bow and arrow, "I 'KILLED COCK ROBIN." Well, I wish you luck. But I doubt if you'll be any happier with the Truman Democrats than you've been with the Republicans.

My motive is to point out the facts as I see them. I am for a first class county library. I know this will be costly. I see no motive in getting into something until we Know wnat we are doing. There seems to be two interpre tations, one for and one against. The "for's" seem to be "hush" on finance. The "no's" seem to think big figures may frighten the -voters into "no" votes. Thev are both correct in their approach. everyone is lor a good thing that costs nothing. How many good things do we get for nothing? To me. Miss Elinor SteDhens. Oregon state librarian is the most efficient person to advise us. I know from personal interviews with her that she thinks Douglas County needs county library. I also know that she is a thoughtful person who wants sound backing and careful planning in the under lining. I am still not answering the questions started out to try to answer. What will a county library do for me or for our community? How will it operate? Won t Roseburg get most benefit? I shall answer the last question first. Yes. Roseburg people will no doubt get most benefit if you con sider the number of books read. They should. Roseburg has more people. How will it operate? This I can not answer because it has not been decided. It will no doubt be like other county libraries in the state. I believe they have a central hous ing unit at the county seat and use bookmobiles to deliver books to other towns and communities. I don't see whv this has to be. If It a law, we might change the law. I can't see why we could not have sub-units in the larger towns and have bookmobiles depart from there with, perhaps, a central unit delivering to the sub-units. This might cut down on building cost as some towns already have some housing facilities. One thing I do know, this plan would inject a cuuniy unuy leenng into the people. That s enough wishful thinking. Now back to answer the question what will a county library do for me or my community? Each individual should expect to have the very best books he cares to read delivered to him as close as his grocery store or school house. -. . , The community withv no library would no doubt use the store or schoolhouse as a meeting place with .the bookmobile. I believe where there is a library this would only have books added to their shelves and perhaps ' additional staff service from the coVnty unit. As I said before, none of this has been decided. . Nnv vou see that we must have books for every resident in the county, cars to deliver uie dooks, people to drive the cars, people to order books, catalogue books, keep books in proper order and a place to keep the books. ' This will cost money, just as good roads, good schools, good churahes, good hospitals and good homes cost money. Now can Douglas County, the best county in the State of Oregon afford to be without a first class County Library? MRS. V. V. HONEY Myrtle Creek, Oregon park in Washington. It was a per fect morning. The sun shone. The birds sang. The waters of Rock Creek gurgled cheerfully over the pebbles. Borah was sublimely hap py UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN HE DISCOVERED THAT HE AND THE HORSE WERE GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. That spoiled everything. Borah went home glum and sour and out of sorts. I fear it will be the same way with you and your new friends. You're disillusioned Well, so am I, Wayne. I've been with you, from the start. I've voted for you every time you've run for office. I've taken a lot of ribbing from people who didn't think much of you. I've taken it cheerfully because I've believed that under your exhibitionist ex terior you were sincere. But, now I know how Robert Browning felt when he penned these lines of The Lost Leader: "Just for a handful of, silver he left us, - "Just for a riband to stick In his coat." The riband for which you desert ed those of us who BELIEVE IN IKE, who have believed in him from away back when, who have faith in him, was SENATOR TAFT'S SCALP, the scalp of your personal enemy. Well, stick it in your coat. Wear it proudly. Show it off. Chant the Cock Robin jingle. But don't for get that Browning wrote those dis illusioned lines about the LOST leader in reference to Words worth's abandonment of the LIB ERAL cause. A true liberal is accepted amonc informed, intelligent people to be one who believes that the state exists to serve the individual. The crowd you've deserted to believes and acts on the theory that the individual exists to serve the state. Never again can those of us whom you've deserted believe in you as a liberal South Koreans Suffer Most Of War's Casualties, While U.S. Tops U.N. Manpower WASHINGTON UP) The United States is estimated to have borne about 35- per cent of the battle casualty, load Korea while supplying: nearly half of the United Nations com bat manpower engaged in the Far Eastern conflict. South Korea has suffered the heaviest losses an esti mated 61 per cent. The other 15 United Nations have borne the remaining 39 per cent. No precise- comparison between American and other United Na tions figures of killed, wounded and missing can be' made for a given date. The United States is the only member of the Allied fighting team that announces cas ualty figures regularly. The American casualty total last week stood at 121,154. The last tabulation made from United Na tions and foreign sources, on Aug. 30, placed the total for all other U.N. forces at 221,876, of which all but 10,899 were South Koreans. The war-torn Republic of Korea is known to be unsure of the exact extent of its manpower loss. In the early, desperate months of the war the South Korean Army lost and picked up men with more rapidity than its harried administration could keep track of. Estimates by highly informed sources show that there are ap proximately 300,000 Americans engaged in ground, sea and air phases of the conflict, 450,000 to 550,000 South Koreans and about 40,000 other U.N. troops. S. Koreans Bear Bigger Load The U.S. casualty total reflects the bitterest part of 1950 when American troops formed the bulk. Sale Of 500 Head Of Cattle Planned Five hundred head of commer cial feeder and stocker cattle will sell at auction in Corvallis Nov. 12 according to V. R. Short, Rose burg rancher, and a member of the Oregon Cattlemen's associ tion. The cattle, mostly from eastern Oregon, will be of the three major beef breeds Hereford, Angus and Shorthorns. The offering will in clude calves, yearlings and bred two-year-old heifers. They will be graded for quality and in small lots to suit the needs Of westero Oregon buyers, Short continued. The breeding cattle Will be TB and Bangs tested. "This is the first time a large group of quality commercial cattle has been brought into western Ore gon. Anyone with grass and sur plus feed can get into the cattle business now with less capital out lay than anytime since before the war and this sale affords the buyer who needs only a few head an op portunity to purchase quality cat tle at a reasonable price,". Short concluded. Aged Albany Woman . Killed By Auto BW ; ALBANY, Ore. I Mrs. Sadie Austin, 82, was killed here Monday when an automobile struck her as she was crossing the street.

The reorganized Army of South Korea has since taken over a much greater share of the battle line, and in recent' weeks has borne the weight of the heaviest enemy assaults.
