The customary majority-minority sub-committee ratio is either four to three or three to five, depending upon the size of the committees. It is also traditional with most house com mittees that the charman and the ranking minority member may sit as member^ of all sub committees. Cannon has ruled out that ranking minority mem ber right and has stacked sev eral of the most important sub committees on a five to two or a four to two basis. This gives the Republican mi nority practically no voice on ap propriations and will have the effect of sabotaging the efforts of those who are battling to re duce non-essential spending. When, or if, it becomes neces sary to take this problem to the floor of the house, Chairman Can non will find his dictatotrial at titude vigorously opposed on both sides of the aisle. The bill to authorize Federal construction of access roads with in the national forests did not get to the floor of the house last session, but I look for fairly early action on it this year.

MAYBE THEY HAVE SOLUTION It will be interesting to listen to the youth of the high school tonight, when these seniors give their own views concerning the affairs today. It is not for the elders to scoff at these ideas, because the elders haven’t done too creditable job during their tenure. Youth, today, with the radio and the many hundreds of publications at hand, are more aware of conditions of the world than were their parents, who didn’t have these aids to learning. The youth today knows more about more things than was thought possible even two decades ago. It isn’t at all unlikely that the youth will refrain from criticizing elders of today for plight in which educa tional program has been placed. It is likely that youth will speak out against the influence which has been theirs their entire life.. The Pilot is ready to give credit to the modern youth for intelligence. IT STILL WASN'T TOO COLD HERE Storms which visited this nation as a whole, left a reminder with southwest Oregon, in the past week, with visible snows at the higher levels, and with freezing or near freezing temperatures at the lower levels, dhis area tucked in the blankets a little closer, too. Power failures were many times a minute Sunday as the main trunk hue in the Applegate country dropped under heavy pressure of snow and ice. Crescent City, and this entire area had only intermitten power Most of Sunday. Other areas, too, were affected. Whatever inconveniences we may feel in this section of the country do not start to compare to that experienced from the Rocky Mountain raingc eastward where bliz zards and freezing storms grip all states as far south as the Mason Dixon Line generally. By Dewey Was quite impressed by Vern Mendenhall’s remarks to Rotary club, Tuesday noon. Vern was circumspect in his talk regard ing things on the other side of j the world, but he did tell things which put people to thinking. He betrayed no naval or military secrets, so the powers to be need not trouble their heads about a j « real GI doing something wrong. He minimized his job in the war of nerves as he often called it. He said he felt for those boys who were wallowing in the mud of Korea, many of whom didn't actually know what they were' were fighting for. That is true\ of every war in the world—It reminds one of Tennyson's poem “Charge of the Light Brigade." Vern always was old for his years, but certainly he is a full- iledged man today. He isn’t one who is inclined to foolishness. He has seen things beyond the years of many grandfathers, but he is not one to mention them. It is likely to be the same with all the boys who come back from that conflict. Vern answered quesstions as best he could, not betraying any confidences the navy may have put in him. Brookings should be proud of her sons, such men as Vern Mendenhall has proven him self to be. densome requirements regarding holding hearings prior to con structing roads. Industry repreï sentative and others, however; insisted that such a road pro gram should be made a subject of general public knowledge. I recently helped re-write that sec tion of the bill so that it is now completely satisfactory to all con cerned including the forest serv ice. With this controversy remov ed there should be little difficulty in securing approval for the bill because everyone, it seems to me, recognizes the necessity of getting roads into the forests so that ma ture and over-ripe timber can be utilized.
