Stanton Conservative business and other groups' aren't orjran izerl sufficiently to compete successfully with labor union backed political action. Sticrj is the declaration by the editor of the Herald and News at Klamath Falls. "Not so," says the editorial writer of the East Ore i m i an, Pendleton. "There is some substantial evidence in the State of Orepon that knocks a bipr hole in the Hsrald ami News analysis," says the Pendleton editor. But, if this is a free-for-all argument, I'd like to stick iii my two-bits' worth, by saying that both are right, in my opinion. I'll agree with the writer in Klamath Falls that all loo many businessmen are afraid political action might bw resented by customers and that they'd lose dollars, so don't make an effort to back up their convictions. Nor, as he argues, do they "go out and ring doorbells, make 200 telephone chIIs each, canvass their precinct, haul vot ers to the polls or baby git for them while they go to the polls they're too busy." But the writer at Pendleton calls attention to' the fact that a whole bunch of candidates endorsed by labor lead ers were beaten, while Candidates favored by the more conservative element were victorious. The Pendleton editor says the writer in Klamath Falls "overestimates the power of organized labor upon the elec torate." Potential Tremendous The Herald und News editor contends that until the more conservatively minded people of the country match labor union political activity, "They're simply not going to make any headway in the congressional elections of 19(2 or the presidential election in 1964. In their daily contacts with people, the political potential of business leaders is tremendous," the editor at Klamath Falls as serts. At the same time he commends organized labor for its enthusiasm and activities. "Conservatives may complain aBout this organized labor competition," he says, "but it can't be criticized le gitimately. For, in its essence, it is democracy in action. What the conservatives have to do is figure out how to do the same thing better." ; The East Oregonian, however, points to the fact that Sen. Kennedy, Monroe Sweetland, Ward Cook, Carl Fran cis, Charles Porter, all had labor's endorsement. And, though the Democratic Party has a. 75,000 registered ma jority, those candidates lost. "The results in Oregon do not square with the thesis of the editor in the Herald and News," says the Pendleton writer. " ' " ' 1 ' . On the other hand, the oUt that Maurine Neuberger, Al Ullman, Edith Green, strongly supported by labor, all were given voter approval. Their election could be advanced- as an argument for the strength of organized labor. Labor's Influence This interesting argument, it seems to me, involves a lot of factors other than labor's political activity. A per son can agree that labor's influence perhaps is overrated, as the Pendleton editor indicates. In that connection I was much interested in a news letter from the National Right to Work committee. The newsletter is, in reality, a propaganda sheet. Doubtless contrary argument could be found. I must admit the fault, commonly ascribed to ing "handouts." . Repeating only one side esting that the committee reports substantial gains for the "right to work all over the Union professionals made Kight to ork a major issue in the reelection effort of 12 styile representatives who had supported compulsory unionism, and opposition to five state senators who had consistently supported vol untary unionism,'? the handout stated in referring to Mar inn County, Indiana. It was reported that when the votes were tallied, the incumbent representatives had been re placed by 12 Republicans pledged to retention of State Right to Work laws and all five senators were returned to office. Somewhat similar victories were reported in Utah, Kansas, New Mexico, Delaware, Vermont, Oklahoma and Virginia. Anyway, getting back to the argument-, this report would supplement the position of the Pendleton editor that labor's influence is overestimated. But, at the same time, one must agree with the Klamath Falls editor in his praise of labor's political enthusiasm and diligence and in his contention that conservatives should take a greater inter est in politics and become more active h thought to which the Pendleton editor also subscribes.

Algeria is also a part of Africa. There is bad trou ble there. Not much actual blood has been shed yet, but careful reading of the news makes it clear that the situation is so tense that a dramatic incident could precipi tate fighting in which much bloud would be spilled. It's a strange situation perhaps one of the strangest in today's strange and disturbed world. What's it all about? In an effort to answer that ques tion, let's recite a little history. For some 15 centuries, Algeria (under various names) has been a cockpit. Thai's too long a story to go into here. Let's start with 1830. In that year, a French consul was insulted by the Dcy of Algiers. In retaliation, the French invaded the country, conquered il and took it over. It was held under French military rule until 1871, when a civil government was set up. Un der this arrangement, Algeria be came a part of what is called met ropolitan France, with representa tives in the French parliament. The system has been similar to our territorial system, in which ter ritories eventually become states. During this period, French set tlers poured into Algeria. They took up land. They IMPROVED ihe land. They took over most of Algeria's business enterprises. While this was going on, they drove the Algerian natives (mostly Moor ish tribes) back Into the hills and the deserts. They were developers. They founded a prosperous agriculture. They built up important business enterprises. Thev CHANGED THE FACE OF ALGERIA. But James Mario w JFK's Cabinet Appointees Not Subject To Criticism WASHINGTON (AP) President-elect John F. Kennedy has gone about picking a Cabinet like a man determined to avoid a brawl before he has a chance to start his presidency. None of his four Cabinet ap pointees so far is a controversial figure. None therefore is likely to get much opposition or criticism from liberals or conservatives in the new Congress next year at least in the beginning. Kennedy filled the spot which could have caused the biggest rumpus with an adroil but non spectacular figure; Dean Rusk, head of the Rockefeller Founda tion, as secretary of State. Kusk in Uie past held several government jobs the highest as assistant secretary ot Stale for Far Eastern affairs under Prcsi- dent Truman but handled him-1 self unobtrusively. To the public he was generally unknown. He had lo be adroit to be on that Far Eastern desk in 1930 and come through unscarred when Sen. Joseph McCarthy was belab-' oring the Stale Department for its handling of Far Eastern affairs, particularly in China. Rusk is esteemed for brains by people who know him. Since he's a quiet operator, he and Kennedy will have the advantage of start ing out in foreign affairs with at least a period of peace and quiet. He'll get his share of brickbats later, which is par for the course for secretaries of State. The story would have been dif ferent if Kennedy had given (he No. 1 foreign policy job lo Adlai E. Stevenson, who is a hero to some. The slot Kennedy picked for I Stevenson ambassador to the I United Nations can hardly cause I a fire in Congress or elsewhere. I In the United Nations Stevenson will not be making American for eign policy. He'll just be express ing. Kennedy reportedly had consid ! ered several men for the job he finally gave Rusk: Stevenson, Chester Bowles and Sen. William Fulbrighl, Arkansas Democrat, among others. Apparently he did his greatest sniilsearching in the ease of Howies. Monday, he gave Bowles the Slate Department's No. 2 job as undersecretary, which puts him at Rusk's right hand. Bowles, a liberal, a Connecticut congressman and former gover nor, had a fine record as -embassador lo India under Truman and as administrator of Ihe Office of Price Administration during the war. He was Kennedy's foreign policy advisor during Ihe presidential campaign. Bui his part in shap ing the liberal Democratic plat form far from endeared him to some of the conservative mem bers of his parly. There might have been some snapshooting at him right from Ihe start it Kennedy had named mm secretary msiean ot tne non controversial Rusk. As undersec retary Bowles wilt he in a posi tion lo move up if Rusk ever leaves. None of Kennedy's other three Cabinet appointees has been in any broad public dispute and has no backlog of ill will lo carry into his new job with him.

They now far outnumber the French inhabitants. Wnat these French inhabitants now fear is that if Algeria is set up as a semi-independent republic, as President De Gaulle proposes, the Moorish tribesmen will DOM1.V At E the new republic. That's about the long and the short of the present explosive situ ation in Algeria. In an effort to gain an under standing of this Algerian situation. let's recite a little history of our own. About the time when the French were pouring into Algeria and tak ing up the land which had been held by these Moorish tribes (say from the 1840's on) our forefathers were pouring into the West and taking over the lands that had been held by the Indian bribes. In our own Southern Oregon-Far isortnem caluornia area, our an cestors took the land away from the Klamaths and the Modocs and the Shaslas and the Rogues and the Umpquas. Like the French who poured into Algeria, our ancestors were DEVELOPERS. They made this land to blossom as the French made Northern Algeria to blossom There is this difference: Here in what we like to call our State of Jefferson, the native tribes didn't multiply. They DECLINED. Only a remnant ot mem remains. But Let's do a little supposing. Sup- pose they hadn't declined. Suppose they had multiplied. Suppose it now began to appear that they might TAhcJ BACK the lands we took from them. What would happen then? Rightly or wrongly, we would probably object as the rrencn innaDitants ol Algeria are objecting. v Those three are Connecticut Gov. Abraham A; Ribicoff as sec retary of Health, Education and Welfare; Slevart L. Udall, Demo cratic congressman from Arizona as secretary of the Interior; and North Carolina Gov. Luther H. Hodges as secretary of Com merce. All three of them, like Bowles, were active Kennedy supporters during the campaign. Still Ken nedy can't be accused of picking his key men to pay off political debts. Kennedy said Monday he had never met Rusk until last week. And David Elliott Bell, a Harvard economist whom Kennedy named budget director, didn't take an ac tive part in the campaign and hardly knew the president-elect. Daily Bible "Reading Message By Roseburg Ministerial Assn. Scripture: John 11:1-27 Martha said to Jesus, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world." This statement of faith in the liv ing God, Who is not just a great Idea, nor an exalted Ideal, but the Being Who not only created this universe, but still retains an active interest in what is going on here, is the faith on which the salvation of our world depends so completely in our present fierce struggle for the survival of our civ ilization, and of mankind itself. Democracy is on the defensive because we nave unconsciously giv en place to godless materialism. We are perilessly close lo the sleep of death which Lazarus had entered, out of which only the Son of God could waken him. How can we effectively oppose Communism while so many of us have accepted the underlying philosophy which can only lead to Communism ma terialism, with its denial of the reality, or at least, the relevance of faith in a living God? Too many of our college gradu ates, too many of our working peo ple, are slaying away from church, because they no longer "believe" in God; or if they do profess be lief, they do not feel it important enough to work at it or give it anv place in their lives. They feel that the Uiurch is decadent, that sci ence has displaced Christianity. Such people are already spiritually dead. They have nothing with which to oppose Communism, ex cept fear fear of personal loss and defeat. After all, Ihev have already accepted the underlying "religion" on which Communism is built. All such roads lead only to Marx. With the approach of Christinas, we need lo get out our faith, dust it off, re examine it, and find in it Ihe seed of life ilseif. When enough men and women in the freo world once again see clearly that faith so well expressed by Martha, the shadow of imminent doom will recede from mankind. Communism i; essentially a reli gion, and only a superior religion, the faith in the living Son of God. and His power to resurrect and re build human lives, can ever defeat it. Christ declared, "I am the resur rection and the life; he who be lieves in me, though he die. yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes In me shall never die. Do you believo this?" Do you believe this? If you do. share it with others, for it is Ihe only medicine that ran save our world from self destruction. The wonderful gift of world peace, which most people long for, will become a reality only when enough people pitiless Martha's faith to counterbalance the scales against atheism. Alfred S. Tyson, rector St. (irnrge's Episcopal Church. ' CIVILIZATION ADVANCED Albany Democrat-Herald Civilization is generally regard ed as having dawned some time between SOD.oOO and 100,000 B.C. when man is supposed first to have - used implements wilh which to conquer adversaries and increase his standard of living. The timing is vague, as of now, but since means have been fuund to fix the age of rocks and min erals by measuring their radio activity, scientist may soon be able to tell more accurately when the first crudely modeled weapon replaeed the rocks man first used in self defense or in aggression. By 100,000 B.C., however, it is known definitely that man was using spears and darts. Really, though, it was invention of the bow and arrow that elevated man above the beasts of the field, over whom he had enjoyed little superiority while restricted to close range, even hand-to-hand combat. How slowly civilization advanced is apparent from the fact that it was not until about 60,000 B.C. that man had learned how to use fire for domestic purposes lo heat caves and huts, and, thou sands of years later, for cooking food. So slow was its progress that it was only 500 years ago that man discovered the world is not flat. First men to theorize that the earth was a sphere were hooted al, declared crazy and even per secuted. No one dared venture far to sea for he would certainly; fall off the earth and into hell if he got too cluse to the edge. Finally the break-through came. The man who cracked tradition was Henry the Navigator, Prince of Portugal, whose 500th anniver sary is now being observed in his native country. His life is- worthy of note in this country, for it was from him that Christopher Col umbus gained conviction that be could circle the earth, and, in a large measure, the knowledge he needed to do it. ' Scorning the then prevalent con viction that the earth was flat. Prince Henry braved what his compatriots warned him was cer tain death and sailed out into the Atlantic in 1419. At that time knowledge of navigation was rudi mentary but Prince Henry perfect ed the science and that is in fact pvpn a Breater contribution to civilization's advance than was his discovery of the Azores, it was because he had learned how to lo cate bis position he was able to claim the Azores for Portugal, of which those islands are still a part. Prince Henry was the first to approach navigation scientifically. He brought together and arranged to systematize the existent knowl edge of geography and naviga tion. He eslaoisnea a laooraiory and observatory where more ac curate tables of the declination of the son were developed. He im parted his knowledge thus glean ed to other navigators and it was because of this advancement that Columbus. Magellan and all the others were able to sail west in quest of a shorter and fasler roule from innoncsia 10 turope. 1 European appetites hungered for; greater supplies of Southeast Asia's spices, it was on such a mission that Columbus had cm barked when he stumbled onto America. The Europeans knew about China and India because they had been trading with those areas as far hack as there is any recorded his tory. Even in the Bible mention is made of "Sinim," which is ob viously China. But the Europeans knew nothing of America. There was an old folklore of At lantis, a lost continent that may have existed somewhere between Norlh Africa and South or Central America but if it ever did exist, it had disappeared. Henry the Navigator Is not as well known nowadays as is Chris topher Columbus but he was a man of daring ideas. He was bom in Oporto. Portugal, March 4. 1394, the son of John I, king of Portu gal. His mother was Philippa. an English woman, daughter of John the Gaunt. It is hard for us to realize what a great empire Portugal once was. Brazil is one of the largest and richest countries in the world, so far as natural resources are con cerned. It was originally a Portu guese colony. But now Brazil Is independent, broken off from the mother coun try, paradoxically, by the Portu guese royal family when it fled from Napoleon's advancing armies and established Rio de Janeiro as the capital of Portugal in 1808. The country retained its independence as a monarchy under King Dom Joao and was permanently sev ered from Portugal by Dom Joao's son, Pedro VI, who remained be hind when his father returned to Lisbon. Of Ihe enormous activities of the Portuguese in the Indian ocean and China sea also little remains excenl 1 few scattered islands. such as Goa in India and Macao off the coast of China. Nevertheless Portugal has left its imprint on world history.1 thanks to Prince Henry. He was a scientist rather Uian a politician. His services to mankind were greatest in the fields of naviga tion and astronomy. Unlike most rulers and politicians, what he built can never be forgotten or destroyed. Civilization, particular ly our own, of course, might but for him have been long delayed, wee. . BOOM IS OVER Evoen R?ittr-Guard The postwar boom in speculative home building seems to be over. And this means a changing pros pect in the marketing of our area's principal product. Such is the conclusion being drawn by professional lumber mar ket observers on the basis of l0 federal census figures. Thev note that between 1950 and 19W) the na tional population gain was 18 4 per cent, overall, while the number of housing units in the U.S. increased 27 per cent. In every state, excepting only West Virginia and Mississippi, there were proportionately more idiftoirical (new homes built in the 1950s than I the population increase would seem I to justify. Even shortages created by wartime building moratoriums ;now seem to have been offset. I Accordingly, even though inter--; est rales may fall and the govern i ment may introduce new incentives for home builders, the lumber in dustry's analysts are now consid ering that future lumber sales will depend upon efforts to upgrade rather than merely increase the number of housing units in this country. Such a situation could result in a more stable market for building materials, and the lumber indus try may share in this desirable result. There are some 11 to 12 million substandard housing units in the U.S., and just the replace ment of these would require a dec ade of building equal in volume to that of the 1950s. And, of course, the U.S. is going lo keep right on growing. The "war babies" who needed so many elementary school rooms a few years ago, and then so many junior and high school additions, will be entering the home market en masse before many more years. And behind them will be coming successive waves of younger but even more numerous Americans, all potential home buyers. The long-range outlook may, in deed be for even better lumber sales than were recorded in the best years of the 1950's. If the prosperity of the nation is main tained at average growth rates es tablished in the 50s, this is almost a certainty. Meanwhile,. the home building needs of some communi ties haven't been met in any de gree approaching what the national figures indicate. This is especial ly true in the rapidly growing West. Fast-filling California is sure to continue to be the best market we have for our Douglas fir and it doesn't seem likely that it will be a less-active one in this next decade. Housing-to-population com parisons show that California built up its housing inventory at onlv a 5 to 4.5 ratio in the 50s while the 1 national ratio ran about 3 to 2. Even right here at home, the city of Springfield added 81.5 per cent to its population total during the 50s while its housing units count rose only 41 per cent. And Eugene's 42.1 per cent Dooulation gain was barely outstripped by a nu uciit im-iease in nousing units. Compared to the national av erages shown by the census fig ures, Springfield "under-built" by some 1.500 units while it was ex periencing its phenomenal postwar population spurt. And Eugene's rel ative lag though hard to believe was equivalent to another 500 units. All of this seems to dispel fears that might otherwise be born of discovery that America, generally, has caught up with the housing shortage of the 50s. It seems to in dicate that the lumber industry is entering a new decade of at least equally good marketing prospects, despite its current doldrums and all, other adverse considerations. The real problems of . the industry seem t6 be less in the nature of prospects than in that. of what the industry does now lo cash in on 2 GREAT WAYS TO SAYT 4 CwtMl III Convenient passbook savings pay crtwii.t. 4'2 APO planned savings pay PLUS 70 YEAR SAFETY RECORD in good times and bad, through wenmajor depressions Equitable Saungt has paid every cent of earnings and principal when due. rtUI INSUIEO HOUCIIOM Savings art iniurt d up to $10,000 by Federal Saings A Loan Insurants Corporation.

LEGISLATURE VILL DETERMINE Pendleton East Oregonian Gov. Mark Hatfield will present to the next Legislature a budget lor the 1961-63 biennium that wdl not require any increase in taxa tion. The budget for the next bien nium asks for 46 millions more than the present budget. This rep resents an increase of 5 per cent. In Uie statement he made in pre senting his budget, the governor said, "This budget, like our per sonal budgets, proves once again that incomers rarely equal to the cost of doing what we want to do or what we ought to do. But the budget of our state, like our per sonal budgets, should normally be financed out of current resources." If the governor's budget is going to face trouble in the next Legisla tive Assembly it will be with those legislators who think that the Gov ernor wants to do less than the state ought to do. We cannot anti cipate whether the governor or those who disagree with him will prevail. We will be belter equipped to answer that question when we learn how drastically the governor and his budget director have chop ped the budget requests of some departments and agencies of state government. ' This information probably won't be developed until the Legislative Assembly gets down to business and budget hearings are held by the Ways and Means Committee. Then agency and department heads who are responsible to the governor may not speak up to ask for more than the governor was willing to give them, but others who are affected by certain budg ets will make their feeling known. We agree entirely with Gov. Hat field that Uie budget of our state, like our personal budgets, should normally be financed out of cur rent resources. This is right for a state and it is right for a young governor who aspires to higher of fice. But there is another side of the coin. If the legitimate needs of 11 ; state are disregarded for the sake of economy or for the mak ing of a governor's record that's something else. We will have to await the probings of the Legisla ture to know exactly what is what about this budget. At face value it appears to be a sound budget.

As a practical matter, we rath er doubt that such a merger will take place, soon, anyway. Dosinas, creeds, forms of wor ship, church organization, tradi tions, habits, attitudes these are so diverse and so well es tablished, that even the best-meaning church leaders would have dif ficulty in reconciling them at the highest levels, let alone in every day observance. the experience of (he Church of South India, which has been ecu menicalism at the practical level, is an example of how it could be successful. But at the same time, one must remember that wide spread Christianity in India is a fairly recent development, and did not have to contend with centuries of tradition and rivalry. Despite all this, we welcome the proposal because we believe it is the sort of thing that 'should be talked about and thought about, and talking and thinking do not oc cur in a vacuum.
