It would be valuable at any time. but particularly so now with the country at war. Such an identification card would aid in running down possible spies and saboteurs and protect the inno cent. It was pointed out that in Britain every man. woman and child has been required to carry a "national identity card" since September. 1940, and must be prepared to show- the card when challenged by any officer, Such a requirement would elini- inate a great deal of trouble in this coun- try and would aid tremendously in case of widespread bombing or invasion ef forts. Right now everyone engaged in defense activities of all kinds must be fingerprint ed and defense workers must have their pictures on their identification cards. Now would be a good time to institute such a program of identification and it would have the backing of all good Americans. Í Appointment of a president at Oregon State college, thus ending the long search for a successor to Frank L. Ballard, who resigned in 1941, is good news to friends of higher education in Oregon. The new president. Dr. August LeRoy Strand, who has served as Montana State college presi dent for five years, is being widely acclaim ed as an educator and executive, well qualified to follow in the footsteps of for mer great leaders at the college. The new O. S. C. leader is taking over immediately and will be on hand for the start of a critical year. Adjournment of politics for the dura tion would be an important step in the winning of the war. This is no time for throwing monkey wrenches into the wheels. Mayor Hugh S. Rogers has given good service as the city's chief executive and his many friends are pleased that he l has consented to be a candidate again. head The Oregonian hit the nail squarely on ' when it said Major Sandy's inference that matter for individual decision by the marr pu whether he should shift from normal c:v:li; lation to war work fails to fit into the the» lective service "The requirement of the armed services of war production industries and of the over-all ec nomic declares the life are beyond personal assessmer Oregonian.
