But the country'! interest dic tates that they nevertheless come to grips quickly on terms of a new steel contract. For strike which would last as long or longer than the eight-week 1952 stoppage could deal a damaging blow to Amer ica s prosperity. Even a two-week break in pro duction would be felt in the oil and gas, railroad equipment and construction industries. A four week interruption would put a crimp in most other major steel users. Unemployment would fan out to industries which supply steel users witn other materials. In their hearts, both sides in these negotiations know they will have to come to hard, compromis ing bargaining sooner or later.

One reason for that situation is the fact that Rosebunr has had an excellent training school. Thirinjr the past few years, under the leadership of Stan Olson, who recently resigned as chief, Roseburjr's police officers have been required to undergo much schooling. It anpears that the same type of training program is to be carried on by Chief Carl Rnmpf, who has an excellent reputation for training ability Positions Improved Almost without exception, the men who have left the Roseburg department for other jobs have stepped into im proved positions. Because they have been well schooled, they are able to advance both in grade and salary hy chancing locations. m. .. ... , ... .. ....... i t.;.. !.. again tiiei ....... ne.vl.T"r.rl t,i "r,.r"'ii : x; .ih" w iDUfm- wneiu, ptiiiitn tii Lite i,u:i iimi. wiiiiti uiuinuiHiituci .now;,,, i,e ntMa a lne t,rcen acnuui, , while that is the classic nave personnel turnovers similar to tne condition in ntiw burg. Roscburg's situation, however, is aggravated, as has been stated, by recognition of the good training provided, thus-making an applicant from Roseburg welcome else where. While we can lake pride in the fact that Roseburg's rep utation for building efficient police officers is widely recog nized, the situation is one that is costing the city a good deal of money. It is a rather expensive process to take a rookie po liceman through a training school. Then, if he is lost by being offered a better job elsewhere, the cost of his school ing becomes a total loss to Roseburg. At the same time, the officer is not to be blamed fpr .taking a better job at higher pay. Compensation Inadequate The pay scale for police officers traditionally has been low. There has seldom been a shortage of applicants for police work. Rate of pay usually is governed by the avail ability of personnel. So, because applicants were easy to obtain, compensation for policemen has never been com mensurate with the work required. In the last few years, however, there has been a de cided change in law enforcement procedure. A competent policeman today is a specialist. He needs much schooling, training and experience. It is no longer enough that he walk a lieat, keep his eyes open for trouble, and use strong- arm tactics when he encounters a belligerent law violator. Today he must be an expert in traffic control, commun ications, investigation, fingerprinting, and many other lines. When he can qualify in these requirements, lie is entitled to compensation equivalent to his ability. But it is difficult for budget committees, even though they recognize the need, to bring police pay into line, because it would mean general salary increases in all departments, and thus materially in crease taxes at a time when taxpayers are on the verge of revolution. Yet, in the long run, the cost probably would be less if salary scales for civil servants were raised and personnel turnover reduced. Monday.

Boehm Roseburg role of the strike in union - manage ment relations, the bargaining pro cedure is in danger of serious dis tortion when the negotiating par ties cannot bring themselves to really earnest dealing so long as strike pressure is absent. The industry, the steel workers and the entire U.S. economy will suffer if this strike runs long. This should he apparent even to the most stubborn bargainer at the steel contract table. Let bmh sides negotiate hard and long now in the spirit which ought lo have motivated their talks in the 30 days before the strike but did not. The nation, in critical mood, will be waiting impatient ly for results.

Malik, Russian Ambassador, Booster For Ike By EDDY GILMORE LONDON i Soviet Ambas sador Jacob Malik is an "Ike for President" booster. "Have you heard the news?' asked Russia's envoy to Britain as he walked into a party Tues day night given br Harry Hohler, British Foreign Office official. Heads turned his way, awaiting some new pronouncement from the Kremlin. "Senator Knowland,' said Mal ik, "has just announced that Ike is going to be a candidate. This is fine news." Another guest laughingly com mented it was strange hearing the Soviet ambassador bearing news about the American presidency. "I'm for Eisenhower," said Malik. "The people of Europe know him. They like him and trust him. We can do business with President Eisenhower. "It's summer." said Malik, chanaing the subject "that mean it s rose time. You should see my roses." i "-meone asked him which roses. . .ast year." Malik explained, I "the" mavor of Harrogate (Eng land) sent me some cuttings. olanted them in my garden and vou should see them! I call them my peace roses."

County Auditor Margaret McPherson ap proved the application. However, Secretary of State Earl Coe told newsmen in Olvmpia Thursday that Nicholson's "nick name won t appear on the ballot, unless he gets a court order.
