Stanton A bill introduced into the Oregon Senate by Senator Richard Neuberger would abolish the office of coun y sher iff. Local law enforcement would be placed in the hands f fmeaureTsenate Bill No. 370. is in line with a trend developing over recent years w ceuuau - : enforcement into one department. ..,. f ,u Plausible arguments may be advanced in favor of this trend. We have a multiplicity of law eniorcement agen--1 o,t,-Pt.iriv in the state irovernment. We have spe- . ..i'.f ,m.Hmr fnr the Limior Control Commission, Board of Forestry, Department of Agriculture, Department of Labor and many otticrs. vve nave iueiy iuoww. boiler inspectors, forest inspectors, labor mpectors, brand inspectors and others too numerous to mention. An industrial plant may have a half-dozen inspectors or agents working arouna its operauoi m o each performing a single duty. This officer is concerned with only one task. He might see any number of viola tions of law or regulation at the plant or on his travels over the highways, but he normally concerns nimseu omy 'with the one job to which he is assigned. Many people believe we could cut out much waste and extravagance by centering all enforcement of law and reg ulation into one department in which officers would , be charged with equal enforcement ot all laws. Need For Specialists Cited Onnosinur this arcrument for consolidation is a school of thought pointing to the needs for specialists. An officer rannot be laminar witn all laws ana reguiuuuiis, it. is claimed. Many fields, particularly those of safety, labor, liquor control, etc., need men thoroughly trained and ex perienced in a specialized field. A case in point is the dispute concerning transfer of game law enforcement from the State Police to the Game Commission. A bill for auch transfer is before the Legis lature. It is contended that efficient game management demands officers capable of serving as game managers and protectors, able to do a job of public relations and education, rather than a punitive force interested only in apprehension of violators after crimes have been com mitted. ( ' The bill to strip the State Police Department of author ity for game law enforcement is in direct contradiction to the idea of an all-inclusive State Police Force. Thus we can see two opposing theories reflected in measures currently before the legislature one wideninn and centralizing police powers, - creating an all-inclusive Mate police Department, the other proposing decentraliza tion and use of specialists in various activities. Centralisation Held Dangerous Some people express fears concerning creation of an all-inclusive force. Combining and centra izi ner all law en forcement powers into one agency would result in a police state, tnay-tear. While these fears may be exaggerated, they are, nevertheless, deserving of some consideration. Stripping local law enforcement awav from local con trol has its disadvantages, despite the fact that greater efficiency might result from superior training and equip ment available to a large and centralized department. It is true that modern methods of travel and commu nication are favorable to the argument of an expanded all-purpose department. At the same time, continued pop ulation growth adds to the complexity of local enforcement and lends to need for local control. Rather than create a huge police army, which might become a dangerous political element, it would, in our opinion, be far better to work toward closer cooperation between existing officers and departments. By better co operation and integration of operation, the same result is obtainable as is proposed in the one-department idea. At the same time there would be no surrender of local con trols over the police function of government. New Business jjJ I ill z '"' Roseburg Resident Likes Feeling Of American Security After Trip I think It is the feeling of se curity that America gives me tbal makes me so glad to be home. This statement comes from Joan Bruns on her second day back in the United States after a month's trip to Germany and Holland. "Ttie people ot Germany seem to say, 'What's the use!, in their very attitude. Everywhere in Germany are still evidences ol bombings by the allies during the ar. When you cross into Holland it is like entering a different world. The Dutoi are eager to re build, look how they responded when they were hit so tiara by the recent floods, but the German people seem to wear their battle scars with an air of resignation." Miss Bruns, a stall nurse at tJie Veterans Hospital in Roseburg, flew to Augsburg, Germany to visit her sister, who, with her hus band. W O Robert V. Keel, is living at an American Military installation there. Miss Bruns was in Germany dur ing the recent clashes between Al lied and Russian aircraft, and re ports tliat dependents of the Allied forces, the wives and children ol servicemen, expected daily to be evacuated. "There was no air of panic, just acceptance. The wives over there are happy, they have plenty to eat, their food and clothing comes from the commissary and P.X. and their housing is good. My sis ter will remain as long as her husband stays, unless she recieves i ni-rlni-e tit riimo '.inmp. iilrinn with other dependents, bo far, no has had to leave." When asked about the attitude ol the German people toward . the American occupation. Miss Bruns thought carefully for a moment then said, "For the most part, it is all right with them. 1 was aware of the air of resignation among them on all topics. . .'If jMHwwajfcr-. Jf .) r- r the Americans were not here, tile Russians would be'. The feeling of resentment that could be noted came from the older people. And there was one girl of about 25 who stcaaiastiy maintained that it the war had lasted one more week the tide of battle would have swung for the Germans, and they would have won. She said she had known Hitler, nd tie was the people s only leader, and she re members him will. Miss Brun remembers Hitler well, too. She wis on an American hospital ship, evacuating wounded from the Normandie beachheads after D-Day. In the Day's News (Continued From Page One) ire Protection, ' Insect Control, Research Needed SAI.EM Stepped-uP forest fire protection, Insect control and continuing program of forest re search are necessary requirements to keep Oregon in the position as the nation's leading producer of forest products, State Forester George Spaur announced today in his biennial repon w uovcniur Paul L. Patterson. The report emphasized forest protection, stating the state's lead ership in the volume of standing timber and the economic condi tions which have caused steady migration of loggers into Oregon. Such influx has created a serious fire protection problem, wun log 111111! oDerations increasing from 6,000 a few years ago to current ly over 15,000 ana spouignung ure gon as the center of the logginif and sawmilling industry in the United States. Spaur reported the ereatlv increased industrial use means increased hazard in the woods and a potentially greater number of forest fires. J4a( (Soyle NEW YORK Should women who have stayed mar ried to the same husband 25 years get a medal? "In industry a man who works for the same firm 25 years gets a pin to wear in his lapel," a wife complained to me recently, but who routed him out of bed every morning and got him to his job on time all through those years? His wife. i - "And what is her reward? Noth ing! Nobody ever thinks ot honor ing her with a pin or medal." This dnos vie in unfair. A lady with a quarter century of matri monial seniority today has had to steer her child husband through troubled waters Indeed a great depression, two and a half world wars, ana a Dig inuation. She certainly deserves some kind of recognition for long and valor out service on the homcfrnnl. All he often gets now Is a tired orchid and dinner out at beefsteak Joe's neighborhood diner. That is hardly enough. Weil, how about a pin or medal then? I surveyed n number of mar ried couples on this point, and re gret to say I found nothing but aisagreemcni. "In any case, It oushln't to he a pin," sighed third. "It ought to be a slave bracelet if any thing." Surprisingly, most husbands I consulted were heartily in favor Of a medal for 25-ycar wives. The only reservation they made was that the cost, naUii-ally, should he borne either by their employer or the government. "My wife gives mo pin mon-y," laid one henpecked Henry, "but not diamond pin money." All tne nusoincis were interested the lady has given the best tears of her life." (2). "P alienee on a monument. wi. ine iigurc ol a woman rising iriuinpn.mt Irom a shatter ed paycheck." (4).

As you can see, any husband who gave his v.ilc a medal with any of these weird designs on it uoura prooaoiy si,on be paying all money. One husband had a counter pro posal. "If Uiey give medals to 25-ycar wives Ihcy ount to give them to 2.Vyear husbands, too," he said. "The wear , and tear is equal on " 1IMl-S. j "And I know "ic design I want ; mi my meani - a mouse on a treadmill." Guess we'd betier drop the whole Idea.

The cost was estimated by Ore gon and Washington congressmen at $8,555,000. The primary dredging would cost $2,898,000 and involve $240,000 in annual maintenance in addition to costs of the existing dredging work. President Kisenhower Bureau of the Budget must ap- piuvc uie recommendation before it can go to Congress. Stalin's death has increased, rath er than diminished this danger." What do our own people think of it? For an answer to that,-let's turn to the market news. In New York this morning, the stock market DIPPED LOWER at the opening. On the commodities side, cotton futures opened in New York un changed to 20 cents a bale LO'.i' ER. In Chicago, grain EASED slight ly in routine dealings on the Board of Trade. Hog prices at Midwest livestock terminals averaged stea dy to a little LOWER. At the open ing ot tne mark H today, slaughter cattle averaged 50 cents LOWER at Chicago and steady elsewhere. Nowhere in the market news as this is written is there any sign ol price jumps. That is to say: Traders read the menacing news from over the world just as ail the rest of us do, but they see noth ing at the moment to get excited about. History t.'Ks us quite plain ly that if the traders thought war was near they'd be bidding prices up. Why is that significant? Well, it's a iruicm that opinions that are BACKED BY MONEY are more realistic than opinions that are backed merely by talk. Traders in the security and the commodity markets back their opinions with money. Another straw n the wind: So far, there have been no re ports of big troop movements in the communist satellite countries just behind the Iron Curtain.

Positive Action Toward Future Speakers Advice Roseburg Rotarians Thursday were told that Americans should take a more positive, rather than negative, attitude toward democ racy and the future. Col. Bertram Rodda of the sal vation Army and student of inter national affairs pointed out that we must "look to our tomorrows" with positive thoughts and actions. We put little into creating a pos itive democratic attitude, the en ergetic white-haired speaker said. We believe the right thing but with no real zeal," he said. He DOinled out that Americlan youths can tell you the batting averages of major league base ball players, but can tell you little about "why America is worth fight ing for." Col. Rodda added that self-de nial and discipline are the main elements of the positive "music of life." You can't be enthusiastic over a minus quantity, he con cluded. The SA leader was introduced by Major Harry L. Larsen, di visional commander for Oregon and boumern Idaho, who accom panied the colonel on his Roseburg visit. Major Larsen was Introduced by Capt. Del Baker, local SA commander. The meeting was held In the Civic Room of the Hotel Umpqiia with Rotary President-elect Percy Cioft in charge. , Col. Rodda also addressed a public meeting of the Salvation Army building Thursday evening. Districting Of Counties Held Unconstitutional SALEM on The Senate-an- proved bill to divide Multnomah, Marion and Lane Counties into sub-districts for election of state representatives got a death blow Thursday. Attorney Gen. Robert Y. Thorn- ton said the bill is unconstitutional because the reapportionment amendment, adopted by the people last November, prevents establish ment 01 tnese sub-districts. Tne ODimon was asked hv Ren E. H. Mann. Medford. chairman of the House Elections Committee. Ihornton uohe d Mann's conten tion that the constitutional amend ment, in designating how many representatives each counlv should have, was actually a limitation against splitting up any district However, Thornton ruled that the bill's provision that senators ana representatives run by num bered provisions is constitutional. Mann's committee pvnppti (n ucieie ine suu-aistricting provision uom tne dih. Tho bill, sponsored by a Legis lative interim committee on re apportionment, provides that Mult nomah County be split into five representative sub - districts, and Marion and Lane Counties be split inio two eacn. Local School Enter In Clothing Collection Roseburg public schools will take part in a state-wide clothing cru sade to collect serviceable used clothing during the week of March 23-27. according to Superintendent M. C. Dcller. The five-day collection Is part of the 11th National Children's Clothing Crusade under the aus pices of a national committee of school superintendents. Clothing obtained will be dis tributed by Save the Children Fed eration in its program of assis tance to children in isolated rural areas of the United States, or In- flan MCnril Hnn. in Western Eu rope, the Far East and Near East. One of the major accomplish ments was the cooperative insect control project which brought some 2,500,000 acres of budworra infested timber back to normal. Oregon forests, unfortunately, were struck by the Douglas-fir bark bettle, currently threatening t to 8 billion board feet of timber. Fires ,.nd great acres of blow-down tim ber have created a favorable breeding place for the insects and indicate a major infestation in 1953. Spaur said that management of slate forests had become a high priority activity and that current Umber sales reacnea a nign ngure and were expected to rise. Seed ling production at the forest nurs ery has been increased to 6 million annually. Rehabilitation of denuded slate forest land has continued with the principal problem; being res toration of the Tillamook burn.
