MOHR'S 1 WELL DRILLING Irrigation Wells Our Specialty li AH NMyrtleg Phone 743 Myrtle Creek Possibility Of U. S. Entry Into Indochina War To Aid French Poses Vital Queries BY JAMES MARLOW 1 WASHINGTON UP) The American people no doubt will want some questions answered if they have to go into In dochina to bail out the French in the war with the Communist-led Vietminh. These are the main ones: 1. Just how much effort have the French put into the war? How much more could they put forth if this country go in? 2. What would happen If, through American help, the Com munists were crushed? Would this country have a deciding voice in Indochina's future or turn it back to the French? American troops sent in as a last resort would include regulars and draftees. The draftees would have no choice. But French draftees are not sent to Indochina unles they volunteer to go. Would the French change 24 months, French youths for IS months. Every year In France itself be tween 250,000 and 275,000 youths are drafted when they reach 21. wny is none sent io Indochina un less he volunteers?

Casualty Records Cited In the three years' war In Korea American casualties were 142,000 of which about 30.000 were battle deaths (an average of 10.000 a yeari, and wounded was 47,000. That includes only men from France proper. In over seven years, total casualties for the French, including troops - from North Africa, were 150,000, of whom 50,000 were killed or miss ing. The number of French officers killed each year has run about 750. Frenchmen say this Is the equivalent of each year's graduat ing class from St. Cvr. the French officers' school similar to West Point. But the French have held Indo china as a colony for almost 100 years ana even in uie past seven disastrous years have failed to train an Indochinese officer corps mac couia replace tne rrencn.

Westcoast is primarily Canadian, and outside Fl'C jurisdiction ex cept for its properties within the states. 2. Pacific, on the basis of the 1950 census, will serve 50 commu- I nines in six states with a popuia tion of 2,747 533 against combined service by Westcoast and Trans Northwest Gas, Inc., a subsidiary, to cities and towns with a popula tion of 1,631,277. 3. Pacific will return mora than 60 million in taxes to federal state ana local governments in the fir't 10 years of its operation, and pro vide 20 million in royalties to gov. ernment agencies. 4. Pacific's market is planned primarily for Northwest homes, in contrast to Westcoast's anticipated support from industrial sales, which would amount to almost half th total volume in the first year.

An ostrich can keep pace with a fast horse. Prostitution Evident In State, Says Thornton PORTLAND Wl Prostitution. once a half-million dollar business in Oregon, is not yet completely stamped out in tne state, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said Tuesday.; Speaking at the Pacific North west Bakers Conference, Thornton saw: "livery investigation of pros titution we've rue lias shown in dication of police payoff." Prostitution is 'a substantial business in every state," he said. "Not long ago I nad occasion to trace the ownership of a brothel building. I found that while the property was assessed at only $850, it was sold for $16,000." Payoffs to police and belief by part of the public that there are lower sex crimes where prostitu tion is tolerated, are responsible for much prostitution, Thornton said. - He added that statistics show, however, there are fewer sex crimes where there is no prostitution. 4 MA NOW!
