GOOD LEGISLATURE Oregon City Enterprise-Courier ', .. . - Bill Lamhert, one-time hews editor of the El-C and now a reporter for the' Oregonian is going to help cover the Oregon legislature for his paper a job which is not only choice: assignment-stuff, but a job which gives Lambert a chance 'to learn a lot. .- ' ." - ' Lambert has always been interested in politics and when he goea clown' to the legislature for his paper, he will find himself in the biggest political arena in the state. , ; Because we've : always found Lambert to be. a good newsman with the ability td ' impartially, .we re- going to ue -interested in nis impres sions. . .'. . ".. 1 . , t 'I ; . As one of the December. Oregon Voters pointed out, relations between the legislature and the press in Oregon have been far more congenial in Oregon than they are in some other states. , : - v Not only does this happy relationship between the press and the legislature exifet, but it goes a little deeper. , Most individual legislators seem to trust the Oregon press and even committees of the legislature get along quite well under the working agreement. Not so in some states where it has been the regular thing to hold executive sessions without the press or. worse, sessions to which reporters are allowed without their pens. Which means a reporter hears all and sees all but can write nothing., ' . ,, :, For instance, in the legislature in Nebraska, reporters are not allowed to publish anything about executive ses sions unless the chairman of the committee formally re leases the report. . - , t. . Under this kind of a system, nobody wins and it has led to considerable friction between, the press and " the state government, it forces jungle wanare in wnich any information or distortion of it is fair game. It's miitA nimilai lnrnllv In thp nrrhain crAnH lnrv va- lem in wnicn newspapermen from the grand jury and end T xl r . 1 i in me urejron legislature, - an executive sessions 01 committees are open to attendance by the press and have been so for SO years The press not only reports actions taken by the committee in executive sessions, but sets forth pertinent comments and the voting by individual members. Fortunately, it does so in an orderly way, such as has averted complaints as to the practice. We can recall no instance in which members of a committee have taken offense at such reports. However, if any mem ber desires that certain procedures or comments shall be "off the record," his wish is respected by the press, which does not report the privileged statements or procedure but has limited itself to reporting the action formally tak en, if any. When an Oregon legislature committee goes into exe cutive session, all lobbyists and all miscellaneous specta tors are expected to leave the committee room, but the press is privileged, to remain. It would be just as well if the lobbyists were permitted to remain provided they did not participate in the proceedings other than when ques tioned by a committee member on some point of informa tion. In fact, it would be helpful to committees if lobbyists were allowed to remain for the sake of answering such questions as might be addressed to them. This customary departure of lobbyists makes quite a show at a commit tee session, The fact that the press remains apparently does not in the slightest degree interfere with free discus- Ktnn r pnmmlMna vnnn.l,n,.a HnUn IU..I t t ...... ...v.. j vutiiiiLc Hiuuiucin. i ciiinjw tunc in 'cunufw no member of the press is Indiscreet enough to quote care less remarks. .

Petet WASHINGTON (NEA) A plain ' talking parakeet named "Kiwi" has moved into the' new Senate Office building quartert of KreshmanSen. George H. Bender (R., Obio), right next to tht suite occuped by Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon. . The bird really belongs to Sen ator Bender't secretary, Mrs. C. D. Terry. It has already learned to greet Bender with a "Hi Sen ator!" During the campaign it wel comed ail callers at Senator Bend er's office with "Bender for Sen ator." . ". ' ,- ..'- ' Mrs. Terry his kept Kiwi in the Bender offices for over two years. It is so tame that it was allowed outside a cage. It never ventured outside the office. . At present, the small, blue breasted. Erav winged birds in stalled in one of the center offices of Bender's suite. But if the stall has anything to say about it, Kiwi will be out in the outer reception room to greet guests as they walk in the door. This friendly wel come never fails to make a hit with callers. When Vice President Nixon's staff was informed that a pet para kcet was moving in next door, a rumor was started that the V.P. was seeking new quarters. But if the bird can be taught to give Vice President Nixon a "Hi Veep" greeting, it will probably win him over. UNITED MINE WORKERS, Journal took a crack at AFL and CIO Presidents George iloany and Waller Reuther in a series of faked New Year's resolutions. They were based on the facts that Reuther drinks pop and Meany likes his sour mash. They ran like this: "Meany Resolved I will try to like Green River sodas with or ange ice when I get unified with Walter Reuther. "Reuther Resolved I will try to learn to like Old Fitzgerald, now that I am going lo ba unified with George Meany. "United .Mine Workers Re solved We'll .believe it when It happens."

Postmaster Clyde Carstens, in reviewing last year's activities, said it was necessary to establish a fifth mounted delivery loute In the suburban areas. . During the year, carrier stops increased by 276. The suburban territory is all served by mounted delivery. On the basis of delivery stops, said Carstens, it is estimated that at least 25,000 patrons nre being served from the Roseburg Post Office. There now are eight foot routes and five mounted routes, in addi tion to two parcel post, four rural and two star routes. Postal receipts in the local of fice amounted to (234,120 for 19S4. That represents an increase of $11,241, or 4 Mi per cent, over 1953, the postmaster said. He pointed out that it could be considered a normal gain despite the July-August lumber strike when postal receipts declined 11 per cent from 1953 for Ihose two months. The loss was more thsn offset by gain in receipts during the December quarter, Carstens said. Postal receipts have more than quadrupled since the boom period started in 1944. Receipts for 1943 were $55,080. Commented Carstens: "I! ap pears that the boom period of ex pansion is over and has settled down to normal growth."

Now us the Republi can administration which is claim ing that these files are confiden tial and must not be disclosed. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF career diplomat Loy Henderson In Wash ington to become Deputy Under secretary of Slate for Administra tion, Republican Secretary of State John Foster Dulles believes he has perfected a plan for having Foreign Service Officers run the Department of State at permanent deputy undersecretaries. Tbe dep uty undersecretary for internation al political affairs is already in stalled in Robert Murphy, another career diplomat. The idea behind this plan of organization is to keep the pro fessionals in charge of continuous operation of the State Department, regardless ot changes in political control at the top. When a new party comes to power after an election, it will naturally name a new Secretary and Undersecretary of State. Some ot the Assistant Secretaries mish' also be changed by political ap pointments. But the career diplomats serving as deputy undersecretaries for ad ministration and international po litical a it airs would continue trom one administration to the next, This would assure that the bi parti san foreign policies would be car ried on consistently. In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) tinued policy of spending more than it takea in their nation might go Drone.' While.' we're talking about the nation's future, it - will be inter esting to note a statement last night by Senator Bill Knowland of California,, who is worried about appeasement. Speaking to the chamber of com merce of Alexandria, Virginia (which is just across the Potmac river from Washington), he said: "fcacn appeasement (of the Chi nese communists in the Formosa area) will only lead to greater de mands and greater pressures." Let's discuss appeasement for a moment. , The classic example of it la the apocryphal story of the Russian who was fleeing with his family a droschky through the snowy forest. He was pursued by a pack of wolves. Seeking to appease the ravening beasts, he threw. a child lo them. They paused long enough to devour the child. That went n until all the children hid -been thrown to the wolves.! f..-Vi; y Instead "of appeasing the beasts, the children thrown to them mere ly whetted their appetites. Nour ished and strengthened by the bod ies of the children, they came on and eventually devoured not only the Russian and his wife but the horses that' pulled the droschky. Let's apply a little critical anal ysis to this classic situation. ine nussian s procedure was based upon a fundamental error; He was seeking to appease the wolves by throwing to them his most precious and indispensable possessions HIS CHILDREN. If he had been tossing mere hunks of pemmican to them and it ne nad had enough pemmican, which is expendable he might have been able to satisfy them until he could get on with his family to a PLACE OF SECUR ITY. The moral? - , I'd say this is it: The value or the danger of appeasement of the communists DEPENDS ON WHAT WE AP PEASE THEM WITH. If we seek to appease them with possessions of critical and indis pensable value to us such as de fense outposts upon which our na tional security depends then we'll be goners. But If we have pemmican enough Maybe we can stay them while we reach a position of security. The big question: Are these islands along the coast of Asia INDISPENSABLE to us? Or are they pemmican? New Solo Scheduled Instrument With Band Something new in the way of soloists is scheduled at the hicb school band concert at Myrtle Creek this year.

Unknown to A CHRISTIAN NATION? "s Our nation is often referred to as o Christion Nation. Sad to sqy, statistics do not support such 0 claim. Look ot these figures: . In an average city of about 20,000 people, a religious census was taken, in which, only 25 even claimed to be Christians. Only 50 of that number were identified with . any religious or ganization. Only 2V2 thought they were making a conscious ef. fort, to live the Christian lite. The other 87'2 admitted that they were- doing little or nothing In the way of an 'active Christion life. 87 of those people. BY THEIR OWN ADMISSIONS, bl neglect' and indifference placed themselves ON THE DEVILS SIDE Is this,, indeed, a Christian Nation? Listen to Jesus: . "He, that Is not with me is against me; and he that gothtrtth not with me scattereth abroad." (Matthew 12:30) Whose side ore YOU on? (No. 2 in a series .'of articles. No. 3 next Friday) Pd.
