Hucwn Thousands Strike Sy Air, Sea IfalllaM The Day's News, By Frank Jenkins - Russia's foreign minister Gromy ko serves notice on United Nations Wednesday morning that it will in Sist on its "troika" plan for three secretaries - general EACH WITH THE VETO POWER. -There is at least this comforting thought: -WE CAN VETO THE TROIKA -Question: Z Suppose that here in Oregon, or in California, we elected a legisia ture and then gave to each mem ber the right to veto anything or everything the legislature did - what would haDDen? The answer is that the legisla ture would do nothing at all. That's the reason Russia insists on the veto. What's a troika? The dictionary explains thai It is a Russian vehicle drawn by three horses abreast. As I recall the legend, it was from a troika that the Russian family threw the children in their tragically useless effort to APPEASE the pursuing wolves. , Let's keep this in mind: If we ever try appeasing the Rus sians, the consequences will be as tragic for us as they were for the .Russian family that tried appease- incut on the wolves. EDITORIAL PAGE 4 The News-Review, Roseburg Ore. Thur., Sept. 21, 1961 ..' There's a lot of talk about NE GOTIATIONS with Russia on the Berlin issue. - Let's nut it this wav: ' T Suppose you and 1 1 solemnly agreed to do certain things. Sup pose, at a later date, I broke the 'agreement, saying: "I won't do .what we agreed to do. I'm going to do something else." .' What would there be to negoti ate? . The answer Is simple. There would be NOTHING to negotiate. That's about the way It is in Berlin. We have two choices. We can fight, or we can run. ' If we run, we're goners. " That's about the long and the short of it. Skipping from Berlin to taxes, the Commerce Clearing House, a na tional private reporting agency on and business law, reports tbat 'during the fiscal year that ended on June 30 the 50 state govern ments collected 19 billion dollars in taxes. The total collections amounted to a record average' state tax burden of $106.03 on every man, woman jinn child, i no pec eapiia lax nur "den ranged from a low of SU3.23 in New Jersey to a high of $205.92 in Hawaii. By way of comparison, the feder al per capita tax is about $460.00 or approximately 4.3 times the average state per capita tax. Pleasant note in the report: .- Throe states OREGON, Wy oming and Ohio DECREASED their 'total collections during the year. All the others INCREASED. Indecent Liberty Count Hits Chief ' VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) Washougal, Wash., police chief Robert L. Peterson was arrested today on a charge of taking in decent liberties with a 17-ycar-old Camas girl. Clark County sheriff's deputies 'said they arrested Peterson at his borne after a complaint was is sued by It. DcWitt Jones, Clark County district attorney. ' Camas police said the girl told them that Peterson bad given her a ride in his car in Camas Tues day, on the pretext of chauffering her to a Camas High School dance, but instead drove out of town. ". Police added that the girl fled, got a ride back to town, then gave police her story. A GOOD BOY By Charles V. Stanton Oreeon Senator Wayne Morse has made another 8vitch and seems to be eettintr away with it. .The switch has received little attention or comment. Sen. Morse has loner been a non-conformist. He has been bellifrerent. Ho has portrayed himself as a deter mined "independent," although he has consistently jumped throueh Labor s hoot). Morse has offered to fight everybody from the Presi dent on down. He has villified our Presidents and many of our prominent people. He has insulted women who have made important contributions to our government He proclaimed himself a member of the Republican Party so long as the Republicans had a majority in Ore aon.r Never did he support the Republican platform. In stead he voted with the New Deal. But, as a Republican, he won elections. Then the Democratic Party gained control in Oregon and Wayne L. immediately became a Democrat and was accepted as a flag-waver for that party. He was a critic of virtually every piece of legislation he didn't originate, unless it had Labor's backing. He was the self-proclaimed champion of the pee-pul, but sel dom ever accomplished anything,' while taking credit for plenty. ' , New Personality When Eisenhower was first mentioned as a Republican candidate for President, Morse was one of his ardent sup porters. He urged the Eisenhower candidacy. Then, when he couldn't be Eisenhower's running mate, as he appar ently had hoped, and when he was denied even an oppor tunity to help make tip the hisenhower platform, he quit the Republican Party m a huff. Jt would seem he had ambitions at the last presides lial election. He was a candidate for a favorite son choice from Oregon. From such position he would be able to be one of the "string-pullers" at the convention and might possibly manipulate himself into a major spot. Hut Oregon people duln t approve the Morse technique. He was quite thoroughly rejected in his bid for the favorite son position. It would seem that Morse was shocked to find himself so lacking in popularity. As an astute vote-getter he ap parently is out to repair his political fences. He has sud denly donned a completely new personality. He has made an about-face in the matter of poise and conduct. Vulnerable Spot Only a few months ago any press release from the Morse headquarters was full of fighting words. He was constantly challenging something or someone. He was "fighting," "battling," "contending," "vying," "defend ing," and so on. Now, instead of quarrelling, Morse seems to be all sweetness and light. He 'ain't mad at nobody." All at once he has developed a spirit of cooperation. Morse lias the ability to switch parties, nersonalitv. prejudices at will and make his actions seem plausible. utir, i question he can lool all the people all the time. big Unander. lormer Oregon treasurer, recently an nounced himself as a Republican candidate against Morse at next year's elections. Many political observers have ex pressed the opinion that Unander hasn't a chance. 'lhere may be a question as to Unander's ability to beat Wayne Morse in a general election a contest be tween parties. But I am inclined to the belief that Morse is extremely vulnerable if opposed at the PRIMARY elec tion by a person known to be a REAL member of the Dem ocratic Party, A good solid Democrat. I believe, one who has a sound reputation with the party, would give Morse a tough race for the nomination. In such a political battle he would he a candidate within the framework of the majority party. With the nomination of the majority party i:i his hands, nowever, ne wouia oe naro to Dear. Evidently Morse feels much the same wav for. like Dennis the Menace with Christmas approaching, he sud denly becomes "a good boy." DEAR ABBY Abigail Van Buren k ) . Hal iiani ii Why The Rush?

I do not send my washing out, so I was completely baffled as to how it came to be in my house. One night last week my husband and I went out, and we left our child with a sitter. The sitter is a rather quiet high school girl who came well recommended. She ask ed if I objected if she had her boy friend over while she sat. I agreed, as I trusted her. My husband developed a bad toothache, so we came home ear lier than we intended. It seemed her boy friend was just leaving when we came home. When he saw us he turned scarlet, and left hur riedly. When I went into the bath room it was all steamy, and I found a bath towel just like the one that was left here before. Need I draw any pictures? Please warn other women not to be as stupidly big-hearted as I. If a sitter wants to entertain her boy friend, let her Hal Boyle Picnics Are Taking Place Of Office Yule Parties Senate Confirms Nash For Post WASHINGTON (AP) The nomination of Phillco Nash for mer Wisconsin lieutenant gover nor, as commissioner of Indian affairs was confirmed by the Sen- ale on a voice vote Wednesday.

The annual office picnic is a prolonged coffee break that has many advantages over Christmas parties for the sponsoring firm: Such as: It isn't held on company lime or company premises, so no employe can fall off a company desk and sue the organization for damages; Wives are invited; Even though the picnic is held as late as August or September, the most wayward hired hand feels a compulsion to report again for duty before the first of the new year; and Since it isn't the Santa Clans season, the employes can't very well ajik, "Where s the bonus'.'

Gracious Gertrude It seems Cottage Grove To Get Airport SALEM (AP) The Stale Board of Aeronautics accepted as a state airport development project Wed nesday an airport for the Cottage Grove area. Director Robert Dunn said this will mean that the state will build an airport in the area with the cooperation of lecal and federal agencies. The board also ' approved an $8,000 grant to help Salem finance a $44,500 taxiway at McNary field. This was $1,875 below the re quest of the city, but the board established $8,000 as a maximum limit for any grant-in-aid project for airports other than those owned by the state. The board also increased a! grant for runway maintenance at Ontario from S1.500 to $2,100 and j provided $2,500 for lighting at the Arlington Airport.
