Aside from the disputed point

For, with the I'nitcd Sides

Uken toward applying the same
system to other areas. The tasic
difference between the I'nitcd

been international inspection.

COP TV-Rigging
Republican congressmen are
having seecond thoughts about
the rigged TV quizzes they have
recorded with high government
officials for political campaign
purposes. They hope there'll be
no backfire.
Both radio and television shows
have been prepared by the Re
publican congressional commit
tee in which the government big
shots appear to be interviewed by
individual congressmen. Actually
there was no interview. The pat,
political answers were recorded
in advance. The questions were
dubbed in afterwards in the
voices of the dillerent congress
men. It is just as rigged as any
thing on the networ.'i.
However, in this way, each
congressman can impress the
home folks by appearing on the
same show with big name Wash
ington personalities.
A typical example is budget
boss Maurice Stans who gave the
GOP committee a five minute in
terview defending President Kis
enhower's balanced budget. The
committee offered this interview
along with others to Republican
congressmen.
The Republican national com
mittee's letter explained: "To use
this interview on your radio
rrogram. call the House record
ing studio for an appointment to
be recorded askiing the questiuns
on the attached script. Mr. Stans'
answers, w hich have already been
recorded on tape, will then be
dubbed in the proper place."
Kven the questions the con
gressmen were supposed to ask
were written out for them by
the GOP committee.

Whc'i scientists say the I'nileil

The consensus appears to be
that while U.S. science matches
the Huss ans', it is far behind in
space engineering. According to
Pickering, it will take us years
to acquire the engineering expe

United States still claims the

Russians, too, have developed
"the light, high-yield warhead."
This, he said, has paid th 'm
"two handsome dividends." The
Russians can now deliver nuclear
warheads at greater distances
than first anticipated. McCone
said, and they can put huge pay
loads into space.
"Hence," McCone said, "in this
area they hold an advantage we
cannot easily overtake."
DRINKING
Continued From Pag. )
A policeman or a friend usually
brings the drunk to a sobering up
station. Sometimes he wanders
in alone.
He is given a steam bath, a cold
shower, hot black ceffee. and a
bed for the night. His clothes are
taken and returned th- next day,
washed rnd ironed. There is a
fee of $1.
No jail sentences or fine is im
posed unless the diunk has been
in a brawl, used vulgar language
or been involved in a fight with
a policeman. If a drunk patronizes
the station too frequency he may
wind up in jail.
Alcoholism among Russian wo
men is uncommon. I never saw a
Russian woman drunk in public.
I saw many men in restaurants
who were rowdy and well pos
tered but the uom-n accompany
ing them fc med ober.
The fc m ".It habitual drinkers are
usii'M yiirostitutes, I was told.
Th.'y have a dif'icult time plying
their trade since laws against
prostitution are rigidly enforced.
Hotel rooms are assigned only to
travelers from other cities who
arc armed with passports.
A prcs'itute cannot check into
a hold because her passport
shows a local address. Most pros

United Slates established a de
velopment program capable ol
pulliiig it even with the Russians?
The answer, according to a
noted American space scientists,
is "no." According to this scient
ist. Dr. Will am II. Pickering, the
United Slates is not comiieling
with the Russians in space. Pick
ering, director of the jet propul
sion laboratory at Pasadena.
Calif., said this country must
work harder or declare itself out
of the race.
In many respects U S. scientific
accomplishments in space, de
spite weaker muscles, have been
greater than the Russians'. We
discovered the radiation zones
named after Dr. James A.ZVan
Allen of the State University of
Iowa.
Americans discovered that Un
earth is sightly pear-shaped.
They also learned that the atmos
phere is denser and hotter at
satellite altitudes than had been
supposed.
Virtu Of Nec.stity
Since the United States lacked
rocket power, it made a virtue
of 'necessity and carried the art
of miniaturization perhaps farther
than the Russians have. Where
the Russians allot pounds for a
specific instrument, this country
can afford only ounces.
U.S. scientists are fond of say
ing that some American satililes
and prolH'S have been "mure
sophisticated" than the heavier
and roomier Russian versions.

Perhaps they are too busy to get

awrre of what can happen to one
who finds hims'df at the mercv
of Russian "justice."
Russian law is shot throuch with
cruel inequities. Prof. Harold
Herman, a professor of law at
Harvard University, told me in a
Moscow courtroom that "an Am
erican can i appreciate what a
magnificent instrument our own
constitution is and how it protects
the rights of the individual until
he witnesses the Russian legal
machinery in action.
In Russia, a person susected

While he languishes in jail his

Here in Union County with tne
Farmer Merchant banquet, the
Chamber of Commerce farm tour
and other events that link the
farmer with main street, we pro
bably have one of the strongest
programs in the state. If other
areas could be as familiar with
the farm problems as this one.
e certainly wouldn't have the
problems we have now statewide,
and nationally.
It is significant to note that in
our Ten-Year Planning Confer
ence report under industrial de
velopment, the committee recog
nized that our farm lands was the
most important county resource
we have. The committee report
states, "When we think of indus
trial development, our thoughts
automatically turn to smoke
stacks, large factories and con
gested areas. Your committer
feels that this is not so; that
farming is our largest industry
I; we could add $10 income per
acre to our tillable land, our
income would increase by almost
S2.000.000. We therefore, believe
that a large area of potential in
come lies in increased producti
vity brought about by new crops
or new varieties of crops
This is the season for annual
and statewide meetings. Of im
portance to this area are the an
nual Seed League meeting to be
held in Corvallis. on Nov. 30
through Dec. 2. The annual
Wheat League meets in Pendic
le n from Die. 3. through 5. Both
are going to be well attended by
farmers and others from this
area.
By attending the annual meet
ing of the Oregon Weed Confer
ence we were hnmcht un on
omc of the latest methods on
chemical weed control. The re
searchers and chemical represen
tatives came up with a list of new
chemicals as long as your arm,
some of which would fit into our
a-ea quite well. I find though,
that all of us, at least in Eastern
Oregon, have one common foe
that is chcatgras,s. A number
of good results have been obtain
ed by using a new chemical At
razine on wheat and some of our
grasses. They did find detrimen
tal results on the use of the chem
ical on bluegrass.
One of the farmers in the Med
ford area, has been doing a good
job using Karmex, but this must
be used in conjunction with ex
tensive irrigation.

To Attend Meet
Miss Alenc Gossage, Eastern
Oregon College assistant profes
sor of education and supervisor
of teaching, has been invited to
attend an executive meeting of
the National Educational Asso
ciation in Washington, D. C Jan.
710.
Miss Gossage is one of two na
tional delegates recently appoint
ed to the executive position in
the NEA Kindergarten-Primary
department.
The NEA department is con
cerned with emphasis on the
values and promotion of kinder
garten programs throughout the
United Stales.
Is considered "a family affair"
and seldom reaches the courts.
The mest shocking aspect of
Russian "justice" is the parasite
law. Every factory, collective
farm or working unit has its own
small committee. If this commit
tee dcides bv a majority vo'c
that a person unde-r its jurisdiction
is not putting in an honest day's
work, he is labeled a parasite and
can be sent to a labor camp. A
parasite has no recourse: the
decisicn of the committee is final.
I learned not only that loafers
were banished in this way. but
also people suspected of prostitu
tion, dope-peddling, b'ack-markct-ing
and ticket scalping. When I
asked a Russian judge what would
prevent an affluent man in a com
munity from framing and railroad
ing out of town the husband of a
woman he desired, he shrugged
his should'-'rs and said "Eltah
jahl." (Tco Bad.)
When I inquired about the penal
system in Russia, I learned it is
one of the mast enlightened and
advanced in the world. This repre
sented a challenging adjustment
in my thinking. It was astonish
ing that a country whos r-rchaic
laws trample on the basic rights
of the people shou'd be so ad-:
vanced in terms of punishment.
Russian prisoners are often re
habilitated. They work and learn.
They are paid $100 a month, $80 of
which goes to the family. Thus
prisoner's family does not be
come the ward of the state. If a
prisoner has no trade when he
enters he has one when he leaves
and is well equipped to be a useful
citizen.
The cell system has long been
abolished and prisoners slevp in
dormitories. Married men may
have their wives visit them over
night a few days every month.
They are provided with private
quarters and the government pays
for the wile's transportation.
A' Russian attorney told me:
"American prison authorities ig
ror the basic emotional instincts
in men. One of the main worries
a man has when he is in prison
is what his wife is doing in his
absence. If he is permitted to be
with her. this solves the problem
from both sides.
"This eliminates the problem of
homosexuality which we undiT
stand is a big problem in Ameri
can prisons."
W hen a man has served his time,
his record is "clean." His prison
record does not appear on his
internal passport or his work
record. ,

ROY SAYS:
Since our introduction oi STP which is the motor oil
additive in this area, there have been many other simi
lar products introduced, some of which have made un
warranted claims of results. THERE IS N9 SUBSTI
TUTE FOR STP!
What Will "STP" Do For Yon?
"STP", Scientificaly Treated Petroleum. A GERMAN DEVELOPMENT, is Mir; petroleum and
will blend with all petroleum base oils. DO NOT BE ALARMED at using "STP" because of its
thick nature. "STP", a pure petroleum product, is the result of a catalytic action which changes
the molecular structure of the original product, it is a concentrate and is meant tu be used with
other oil.
"STP" it to b. utod with any luba oil in any engine; for cart, trucks, tractors,
diatalt, aircriH, marina motors, lawn mow.rs, larg. or tmall engines, two or
four cycle, v.hicular or stationary, burning any typa fuel, giso!ine, diesel, L-P ,
gat or natural gat.
"STP" was initially developed as a super lubricant, has a very hinh film strength and can with
stand great pressures and high heat and thus prevent metal to metal contact of surfaces under
friction.
"STP" has thousands of uses, can be us ad wherever oil it used, with the astur
anca that friction will b reduced and that conttant lubrication will be main
tained under all conditions.
WE CAN SHOW YOU
LABORATORY TESTS
"STP" has been proven by laboratory tests,
to raise the viscosity of oils at high operat
ing temperatures where other oils thin out
and only under the most severe conditions
of low temperature, is it necessary to drop
to a lower weight oil. This of course is a
procedure that would be followed even
where "STP" is not used. This impartial lab
oratory report by the engineering depart
ment of a recognized university, is avail
able on request.
LESS GUM, SLUDGE
tnd CARBON!
Laboratory analysis of crankcate oil in all
typat of engine! are conttantly demont'rtr.
ing. the fact that l.tt gum, sludge and car
bon are found present whan "STP" it uted
in th. crankcate, as compared to standard
lube programs.
il FOR NEW MOTORS
"STP" maintain! a better ring teal on
high compression enginet at ill operat
ing temperatures.
"STP" reduces carbon formation, keeps
tpark plugt clean and maintains original
compression ratio to prevent ping and
knock.
1 FOB OLD MOTORS
"STP" keept a conttant lubricating film
on hydraulic valv. lift.rs and reduces
wear.
"STP" will rettora original performance,
reduce axcttiv. oil us. and provide eas
ier ttarting by giving a better ring seal
and therefor, higher compression and
higher oil pressure.
"STP" raducat existing carbon forma
tion, ttopt blow by and improvet operat
ing economy.
"STP" makes old motors run smoother
and quieter.
