' . Mental Insulation VTO matter what the Bell committee should turn up respect 11 ing the Townsend movement it is apparent that the ad herents of the OARP will not credit anjihing which is adverse. To them the Townsend plan is a divine revelation and they purpose to remain true to their faith in it as to a religion. So although- Dr. Townsend is shown to have written his late associate R. E. Clements : "You and I have the world by the tail on a downhill pull. Earl, if we handle it right," adding there would be a, "hatful of money for those who stayed', the loyal followers of Dr. Townsend will insist that his purposes have been sincere and not mercenary, that the plan will work if given a trial, and that the Bell committee is merely the conniving of the Rooseve.lt administration to smear the plan. This: form' of mental insulation will serve to sustain them from doubts respecting either the plan; or its founder. j " I But the exposures will have disastrous effects upon the hangers-on, the persons who thought it was a bandwagon and flagged it for a ride. These are already scuttling to cover. Their desertion will greatly impair the strength of the movement, for it depended on mass pressures. Seeing the merry-go-roundlwys! dropping off after a short ride the poli ticians will lose their fears, will get over the jitters which Dr. Townsend himself laughed at as he observed Washington congressmen. Let thfe opportunists get the idea that Town sendism is not going to sweep the country, and the movement will find hevy going politically ; and a considerable slowing down financially. ,. i r The Bell committee is probably a smear committee; but it must be admitted it has found considerable raw material." Dr. Townsend and Mr. Clements have admitted receiving large sums of money far in excess of the modest stipends' re ported at the Chicago convention. And the good Long Beach doctor seems not to have been innocent of sensing the com mercial possibilities of the exploitation. In fact (and we speak realistically rather than wishfully) it does not seem possible to revive the OARP as a big political force either in Oregon or in the nation. j I - . -. , j ; ' ; More: Rebuffs to New Deal PRESIDENT Roosevelt has gotten his answer on the con stitutionality of ! the Guffey coal act, and it is negative. The answer is ohe clearly foreseen in the previous deci sions of the supreme court. Only .the contumacy of the presi dent in defying the plain mandate of the court and virtually commanding a reluctant congress to pass the Guffey bill brought this fresh rebuff to the new deal. He wrote congress men not to let reasonable doubts of the constitutionality of the. Guffey bill keep them from disregard of the law interpreting and constitution defending branch of the government deserved the rebuke which the court in very polite language has administered. , The Guffey act was one opposed by many liberal thinkers because it turned the consumers merties of the coal companies. ricious form. Labor in return to approve of this monopoly grant to the coal operators. Another blow was administered the new deal when Tug- well a resettlement scheme was the supreme" court of the district of Columbia. The court might have gone on to say that under Tugwell it was bizarre, wasteful and futile. iThe monuments to Tugwell 's folly are scattered from coast to coast.? What germs of virtue resettle ment had have been buried in administrative red tape, bureaucratic stupidity and governmental extravagance. While the president has been critical of the courts for ruling against, him -in important cases, as a general rule the court has truly protected the administration from its own follies. NRA was discredited the AAA rested on a false base of promoting scarcity rather than plenty. Even if the acts were constitutional they still would be wrong in principle. Especially-with regard to NRA and resettlement the! court is istration from bad holes, besides saving the country from fcoush experimentation. L " Low Cost mHE administration has puzzled greatly over low-cost hous- J. ing. It has even! undertaken slum clearance and apart ment Jbuilding. The results rents for the new; living quarters are so high only the upper Jevels of the lower-income groups can use them. The former occupants of the slums are often ai. mgher rentals, making their lot poorer. The pres ident .has even complained that struct a house for a family for ' ' Various schemed for mass, oeen proposed ana even attempted, sheet steel, concrete slabs, lumber cut in the mill to size, all these have not succeeded in selling themselves, either because the people want distinctive houses for homes or because Strangely enough. there form of mass-production residence unit: the motor car trail er. These are graduating from the class of bulging box-cars crudely fashioned and hung onto an automobile. They are being made of steel, heat and attractive. With them the own er may travel the high road and still occupy his own home. The New York Herald-Tribune says it lias become a quan tity product, with plants putting trailers on assembly-line manufacture. . In some cities special provisions are made in camps for trailer accommodation, with electric and water service connections made available. With electric ranges, sleeping quarters and the world to roam in, what is the trail er but one answer to the demand for low-cost housing? : ' No matter how much you turn up your nose at the car with house trailer attached, the outfit is here, With accommo dations that are surprisingly comfortable. .:' " ! . i . Prof. Tugwell seems to be on the way out, but the president will probably find a berth for him is spite of the action of the federal court in invalidating his resettlement and of the congress in making: bo appropriation for the work and shifting rehabilitation to Harry Hopkins and WPA. The! Portland Journal delights in harpooning Sen ator Stelwer and lining! him op with the Fat Boys: yet Sen. Steiwer has dng from Dr. Tugwell the fact that he spent S178.0OO in resettling 13 families on a project near Yankton, S. D. That is about 113,700 per family. Tugwell is surely generous with the Flat Boys. j . . I , , . ' ' ' ' . The president made an excellent appointment when he named Samuel B.

' j j Perhaps we have all discounted the charge and thoughtj it part of the propaganda of the' long and bitter waterfront struggle on the Pacific Coast. But some angles are coming up which hit; the farmer and cause wonder if it may nof be true;. " 1 "- M ' ! In San Francisco, for instance. where labor-threatens to tie up the milk supply' If dairymen do not yield to organization of their milkers, it is the organization of the teamsters, which does much of the talking, and it is the threat of a sympathy strike by teamsters and milk deliverymen; which caus ed Mayor Rossi to demand that dairymen arbitrate, ill Seattle is said to be the best ex ample of what may be. in the wind. There the teamsters virtually run the city, it is said, and the mayor and; police force practically abdi cate to the teamsters, A1 merchant in Seattle tells us that labor now fixes the price of bread, milk and beerj and that it will probably extend its control to other products. M l This much will be: obvious: if there were a plot to seize labor control in .this countryj the truck lines would be' the logical place to strike.

HENDRICKS i Let the smallest park ' 1-30-31 in the United States be ' officially made such, and - the tree. Its owner, marked: Quite often one hears the asser on that Salem has the smallest park In the United States. . r - . What is meant Is the space around the big tree near the northwest corner of Summer and Union streets. While in 4 effect this space Is a park, it has not been1 officially so declared. Its size is approximately 1 by 15 feet, practically ail of It occupied by the tree. One finds In the Reader's Di gest for the current month. May, an article supplied by George H. Dacy, reading: "k lover ot trees was Judge W. H. Jackson, at one time chief Justice of the Georgia supreme court. 'A stately and symmetrical white oak tree, that crowned the crest of a hill overlooking his plantation, was his favorite. 'Weekly the venerable lawyer cUmbed the hUl to rest and pon der under its shade. At his death in 1820, because ot the 'great love that I bear this tree and the great desire -that I have for its protec tion at all times,' he bequeathed the land it stood upon to the tree tself v 'Recorded 116 years ago in the ciTil court of Athens, Ga., this deed is still on file, and the 350 year old tree that owns itself is lovingly cared for by the. com munity. - - A tablet has been placed on the tree announcing that the tree holds title to the land on which it stands because a man once loved it. and each year the tree receives the homage of admiring pil grim's.' ' That idea might be carried out in effect for Salem's smallest park in the United States, occupied by its big tree. The 10 by 15 feet serves now, as the tree is young yet only about 6 4 years old. Such trees live thousands of years, and SOOO to CO 00 years hence this one might need more than 10 by 15 feet. But we should worry" about that. This tree measured 78 feet high about four years ago. It Is called 'California big tree," though its true bonatical name Is sequoia glgantae, or sequoia Washlngton- ia.. while the true California red wood Is the sequoia sempervirens. meaning always living, and the name sequoia cornea from Seqaoy ah, who invented the Cherokee In dian alphabet. S The sprout for our big tree was Health By. Royal S. Copeland, M.D. - NOT LONG ago I told yon about the methods of. treatment used In "physical therapy". 1. pointed oat that physical therapy employe ths natural forces, such aa light, heat, air and water. Also, exercise and massage are included In thM system ot treatment and cure of certain ail ments. Today I want to ten yon about "diathermy", another form ef physical therapy. Heat baa always been used aa a curative measure for certain all' ments. Our forefathers used heated soapatones, bricks, flat Irons and erea utilized Jan filled with hot water. In this modern day heat is used for the same ailments, but It Is applied In a more scientific manner. Diathermy is In reality the use of a "high-frequency" electric current which generates heat in some portion of the body. By means of this de vice, beat may be brought to the area that needs It and will be benefited by the application. Not a Tare AIT ' Diathermy Is not a "enre an". In fact, it may be harmful when used in certain conditions. For this rea son the lay public Is advised not to purchase, so-called diathermy ma chine for self use. Wrongly used It may lead to further irritation and Inflammation of the affected part. Let your doctor decide whether you re quire diathermy treatment No one should be permitted to ban. die a diathermy machine or direct Its application unless be Is familiar with the exact use and limitations of this form of treatment. Your doctor is qualified and he alone Is la a pa tion to determine whether or not yen should receive diathermy. The use of diathermy xnajr be either medical or surgical. . The medical form Is used in the treatment ef arthritis, neuritis, rheumatism, pneu tnonia and other Inflammations. When used for destruction of a .tu mor. cyst or other growth, it! is spoken of as surgical diathermy. Different Now " The modern diathermy machine Is quite different from that nsed several years ago. . The engineering profes sion, with the -co-operation ot the medical profession, has perfected this machine and Improved its usage. No doubt many of my readers win re call the startling noises and flashes of electricity that occurred when the old type machine was used. All this has been don away with and the machine is compact, noiseless and efficient. When property controlled It has great value. If you have been ad vised to receive diathermy treatment, do not hesitate to have it. It Is not dangerous in sklBed bands and Is extremely beneficial in certain afflic tions. .

William Waldo, known to his intimates as "Bill," never - mar ried. He was Judge ot Marion county, served In the state senate, was president ot that body, and la many ways was a prominent and useful citizen! Wis When that part of Salem was platted, the tree, then small, was condemned, being In the street and an obstruction to traffic. But, fortuitously, it was allowed to live. r When the portions of Summer and Union streets passing that way Were paved; there was a firm sentence ot death, by the superin tendent of streets, then Walter LOW. i; The sentence was voided, then revived. The tools were ready for the work of execution. But; the American War Moth ers, newly organised, saiem chap ter,, pleaded i for the life of the tree, to be made a memorial to the service tnen home from the World war. . Mrs. A. N.jBush, from families of tree lovers; on both sides, added her labors. . Upon her promise to see that the tree was lighted, so long as Summer remained the through street Sot the; Pacific highway, the tree was guaranteed lease of life. This promise was kept, and since Capitol; was opened its en tire length and became the thor oughfare for the Pacific highway, the city has maintained a reflector on the north side of the tree, mak ing a fair warning signal at night la not too foggy weather. A street light near the south curb also helps. S S Again, and in conclusion, it is suggested that Salem's big tree, destined to grow bigger and taller for thousand of years, be given a park of its very own, and guaran teed life so long as it may raise its proud head to the skies and maintain Its: perfect symmetry. and keep its perennial verdure.
