i" - In The Day's News- Cell I By FRANK JENKINS 'Somebody Left the 'Big Steel' Door Open! 4 The Nawi-Review, Roseburg, Ore. It was a shocking morning. For the first time in two years for many of us in the county and quite a few more years for most others, the work week started on a daylight saving time schedule. It was bad enough that it was Mon day let alone having to face it an hour earlier. The only thing that made it palatable at all was that the work day would end an hour earlier. Daylight time started Sunday morn ing, obviously with intent of giving us time to get used to it. What we really needed was a week off the job to make the adjustment. Seriously though, it will be nice again to know it's the same time here as it is in Eugene, Albany and Portland. Wheth er or not daylight saving time or stand ard time is better is now beside the point. The important thing is the state is back in some semblance of order. Proponents and opponents of DST will admit the last two years have been a mess. The state legislature, in trying to please everyone, agreed in 1961 to give some clamoring northern Oregon coun ties the right to go on DST. Legislators who voted for it admit they didn't fore- see the confusion which was going to re sult. Technically the rest of the state was to stay on standard time. But there was nothing to make it mandatory for the rest of the state. That's when the trouble be gan. Many areas, particularly with strong business connections with Portland, felt they had a need and certainly as much a right to go on daylight time too. From then on, you needed a program, if you were traveling through the state, to tell what time it was. WASHINGTON WINDOW Deadly Strategy iter A deadly strategy that -served to break the back of conservative political efforts In behalf -of the lale rlobort h- : Tan is snowing up now in the campaign' to pre vent the nomination of Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., for president If the strategy could stop Taft it probably can slop Goldwater. Taft's bids for the Republican presidential nomination were strongly based in Ohio, a rich and populous state with a large elec toral vote, whereas Goldwater'i political base is Arizona. The modern Republican strate gy that beat Taft was to keep banging away at the Idea that Taft could not win. "Don't nominate a loser," chor used the managers of other Re publicans, the Dcwoys, the Stas sens, the Willkics and the Eisen howers. Notwithstanding that, bar ring Ike, none of them could win either. The strategy was to kill off Taft on charges of no vote appeal in the great eastern cities. Argument Voiced "Taft can't carry New York," the GOP liberal chorused. "Can't carry Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut. Can't win." And, now what do we hear about Goldwater? We hear from Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-N.J. Case is a liberal, or modem, Repub lican. The New York Times re liortcd lust week that Case had endorsed for president Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller of New York. Scarcely news. Case accompanied that endorse ment with a prediction that if Goldwater were nominated, he would be badly beaten in New Jersey. Case said Goldwater also would lose New York. .Massachu .0.. 7v .

This is a replay of the argu nient raised over the,' years against Taft. There is no worth while means of determining whether a conservative Republi can could or could not carry these Eastern states. The Republi cans have not nominated a con servative since Alf M. Landon in 1036 or, more accurately, since Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Past History Landon carried only Maine and Vermont against FDR. Coolidge swept the North and West includ ing all of the big industrial, big city states, lie had token opposi tion from the Democratic ticket headed by John W. Davis of West Virginia. The fat cuts who help support the Republican party are afraid to take another chance on a conservative. The liberal or modern Republi cans, firmly established in the Northeast, Frighten the fat cats witli warnings that a conservative Republican cannot carry, for ex ample, Now York. Goldwater supporters seek to counter those claims bv claims of their own. They circulated lust month among Republican stute chairmen assembled here, a mim eographed draft-Goldwalcr pamph let, it reproduced a mathemati cal calculation that aeainst Presi dent Kennedy, Goldwater could be elected next year with 311 elec toral votes, 43 more than the min imum. This calculation conceded to Kennedy New York. Pennsyl vania, New Jersey, all of New Kngland, Michigan, California. Oregon and Washington. This is an argument thot Gold- P ,12 of Tht Nwf.Rvitw should be tidings of comfort and joy to many smokers in America, where according to dispatches re ceived in London, a crusade is being carried on against "My Lady Nicotine." 25 YEARS AGO April 2, 1938 Roseburg Episcopalians announc ed plans for construction of a new church to replace the 78-year-old edifice the congregation has been using. A new party, to be known as the national progressive party of Amer ica, was announced by Gov. Philip LaFollettc, of Wisconsin in a wid ening breach with President Roos evelt. 10 YEARS AGO April n. mi A record District 4 school budget amounting to $1,983,257. with J869.- 925 outside the six per cent limi tation was announced for the school year. Continental Pacific Trailways buses, idle for number of weeks because of a drivers' strike will resume operation Mav 1. it was an. nounced at local headquarters. MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1963 Again Roseburg was the center of one of the most ridiculous situations anywhere dur ing a few weeks of the summer of 1961. Some businesses and industries went on daylight saving time: others stayed on standard time; and still others adopted what they called "fast time" in which they kept the clock on standard time but went to work an hour earlier. Needless to say, the confusion was cha-. otic. And needless to say, we stayed on standard time the next year. The adoption of daylight time by a vote of the people last November may be hard on cows at milking time and equally hard on late risers, but one seg ment of the economy will have reason to be happy. Lumber manufacturers were obviously having a hard time with the differences in time. Both California and Washington were on DST, which gave them a jump on the eastern markets each day. Then, to make things even more try ing, the retention of standard time in Or egon made the daily time in which the eastern markets were reachable even shorter. Under normal circumstances, with changes in time zones, Roseburg's working day starts three hours later than New York's. New York is on daylight sav ing time, so in the summer, its working day started four hours before Roseburg's. This meant business could be carried on between Roseburg artd New York only four hours a day. Others will benefit, too, from being in step with most of the rest of the nation (28 states). But whatever our personal feelings about daylight time, we'll all ben efit from, being on the same time this summer. To Undermine Appeal Noted water doesn't need the big city 1 states to be elected. It is assumed in tills calculation that Goldwuter would sweep the South, the Hol der states and most of the Mid west. The Republican fut cats probably would like to be per suaded that all of this could come true for Goldwater. But fat cats are a timid lot, skittish and afraid to take a chance.

RUARK PALAMOS, Spain Perhaps liv ing in Spain for the past 10 years has prejudiced me somewhat in my admiration for the Spanish character. But I did think that Generalissimo Francisco Franco comported himself admirably in the affair of the Communist mur derer and torturer, Julian Grimau Garcia, whom the Spaniards exe cuted last week for his ancient sins. Organized communism of the world demonstrated against the execution, although Grimau, for his murders and tortures, was consid erably more personally involved in atrocity than was Adolf bich mann, whom the Israelis tried and killed as an engineer of destruc tion. Grimau was a chief of the po litical police during the Spanish Revolution, a . ti his name as a murderer and torturer of police prisoners lias been infamous in Spain. He went into exile when the communistically approved Loyal ists bugged out and stayed in France until last November when he came back admittedly, in his brief trial to work for the Com munist party once more, franco's police arrested him last Nov. 8; he was tried, and they shot him April 21. He was not murdered coldly, as Khrushchev and his buddies rubbed out their head copper, Lavrenli Bcria. He was not assassinated on order from central headquarters, as was the exiled Trotsky in Mex ico. He was tried and convicted of his sins, and executed, just as dc Gaulle had one of his OAS lead ers destroyed the other week just as America electrocuted the Rosenbergs for the highest of treas on. El Caudillo exercised consider able class. 1 thought, in his tele gram to Khrushchev, who had the temerity to intercede with a plea for clemency for Grimau, in pos sibly the first exchange of mcs sages between Madrid and the Kremlin.

Such crimes against humanity will, I am sure, be condemned by the world's conscience, despite the propaganda campaign organized with the intent of misleading opin ion. And organized they were, start-, ing with Khrushchev and pressure on Pope John at the top and dwin dling to the smashing of a tourist agency in Copenhagen which spe cialized in tours to Spain. Mobs fought outside the Spanish consul ate in Zurich. Demonstrations were touched off more or less simul taneously in London, Helsinki, Mi lan, Stockholm, Brussels,. Liege, Mexico City and Rome.

Grimau was executed as we ex ecuted the German war ciminals after the Nuremberg trials. He was executed for being an archict of murder and torture and as an im plemcntcr of murder and torturc- and, if I know the Spanish sense of humor, quite possibly for being stupid enough to think that time heals and he could come home to Madrid to take up his old work of Communist subversion. Barcelona, in Catalonia, is not and never was wildly enthusiastic about the Franco regime. Some of the most bitter brothcr-against-brother fighting in the Spanish war took place in Catalonia. But on the dav thev shot Grimau in Madrid I happened to be in Barcelona, and I heard nothing but applause for Franco's action in expunging the old murderer. Spain is admittedly a totalitarian ate just as France under Ltate Charles de Gaulle is a totalitarian state, iust as Russia is a totalitar ian state. It seems amusing really'; that the whole world would simul taneously arise to protest against the execution of an old policeman that the whole world never heard of, except in the Communist inter national apparatus with its head in Moscow and its tail in Mexico City. i It seems presumptuous of the j world not to allow Franco to kill his own snakes, in his own coun !. proved reasons. We are a nation that electrocuted Caryl Chessman on which was really a presumption of guilt, and how many millions died under Stalin is past computing. There is an old Jewish line con cerning table manners which says: "Eat first, Maxie, then talk." In the instance of the execution of i Juiian Grimau Garcia, it would be a good idea if the world shut up. !

The proposed new document does four main things: It gets rid altogether of ob solete provisions such as those on dueling.

(.crneiia 1 ex-suitors, From Washington: The United States will send two battle groups, one of Army in fantry and one of paratroopers, plus jet fighters, into communist threatened Thailand next month, the Defense Department has an nounced. The Pentagon said these troops will be accompanied by sup porting aircraft and logistic ele ments. Although planning for the move has been under way for months, the arrival of these forces will serve as a show of strcnth at a time when communists are threat ening to take over neighboring Laos. What of this Laos business that bas been in the headlines so long? What is Laos? And where is it? It's a little country down in the hot tropics of Southeast Asia. It's about the size of Oregon area 91, 000 square miles, as compared witli Oregon s 96,981 square miles. Its population is about the size of Ore gon's 1.850,000, according to the U.N. estimate in 1961. At the 1960 census, Oregon's population was 1,757,691. Laos is a part of the former French Indo-China. It became a French protectorate back in 1893, when the French got delusions of grandeur and started out to set up world emnire. France lost it, along with the rest of its South east Asian protectorates, back in the late 1940's, when the Chinese communists drove the French out. What of the people of Laos? Well, they're an easy-going lot who would like to sit in their house by the side of the road and let the world go by if the world would just let them do it. One gains the impression that they don't care a hoot who governs them if government will just leave tnem alone to live in the easy going way they want to live. They regard this whole ruckus over the fate of Laos as a fright ful nuisance. What of Thailand where we're preparing to send in a very con siderable military force designed to serve as a show of strength to get the word over to the commu nists that they'd better stay out of Laos? Thailand is a different kettle of fish. The Thais are a competent, ca pable lot. They know what they're about, they know what they want. what they want more than any thing else is to be LET ALONE to do as they please in their capable, charming way. Thailand is quite a country.. Its area is 200,148 square miles, as compared with California's 158,693 square miles. Its population is 27. 181,000, as compared with Califor nia's 17,000,000. Its a big country, with a lot of people. What kind of people? ' 1 They are charming people. Com Von Braun: He Has Penchant For Strolling Out On Limb Dr. Wernher von Braun became America's most famous space scientist by his penchant for stroll ing out on technological limbs with a unique flair for, showman ship. In 1955, he startled the nation's scientific inner circle by suggest ing he had the equipment to put up the world's first earth satel litea fight he. and in the long run the United States, lost to Some appalling blunders and bad guesswork. Today. Von Braun is still at it. In an interview with United Press International, he staunchly de fended the nation's controversial decision to spend $20 billion-plus to send men to the moon this decade: "Even should we find out the moon is soft and is made of green cheese, it will have been north every cent of it." Typical Defiance This is typical Von Braun de fiance, in stark contrast to the watery half-answers and excuses that seem to be the party line among numerous lesser scientific lights in the United States over the same issue. He knows there will be one tremendous by - product "a very fine and potent space transporta tion system." the Saturn-5 super rocket that will send the three-man Apollo teams to the moon. Von Braun is certain because he him self heads the program for build ing the Satum-5. This is the "self-confidence of a Teutonic demi-god" that a writer once attributed to the stocky, blond German. If Von Braun is one of the few who violate scientific tradition by speaking his piece in public, he is one of tlie fewer still who can back up his -Jlk with a long list of solid scientific accomplishments.

Station in Orbit There always has been a bit of P. T. Barnum in Wernher Von Braun. Ten years ago. when even television was in its infancy, the forward thinking rocket expert authored a magazine article that amazed the world, scientific and non-scientific alike: , He proposed a fleet of three sL,ge rockets to install a gigantic station in orbit around earth to house men. Each rocket would have had 51 motors in the first stage alone, generating 2.8 million pounds of thrust and capable of putting 140 tons of payload into orbit at one whack. In 1953. when the most powerful U.S. rocket was the 65.000-pound-thrust Redstone, it was a fantas tic idea. But it accomplished on purpose Americans began to "think space." He never said so, but there is a suspicion that was the main idea Wernher Von Braun had all along. so thorough that sufferers madt astonishing statements like "Piles have ceased to be a problem!"
