"Wo Favor Sways Us; No Fear Shall Awe"
From First Statesman, March 28, 1851
f- THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO.
CHARLES A. SPRAGUE, President
Member of The Associated Press
The Associated Press is exclusively entitled' to the use for publication of all
news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper.
Acquaintance
Relative to the state CIO council's repudia
tion of the Labor Newdealer which is edited
by Lee Coe, formerly of Salem, no opinion was
expressed by n The Statesman, which" merely
made note of the occurrence and quoted, in
part, the comment of the Woodburn Independ
ent. Subsequently this newspaper received from
Coe a Safety Valve letter, which was published,
and accompanying it a personal letter and clip-
pings from the Labor Newdealer and other
CIO publications which shed considerable light
on the situation.
It should be understood that the Newdealer
remains tho nffirial mihlif atinn of the Portland
CIO council. The clippings disclose that the
state council's action has some relation to the
schism within the CIO in Oregon and indicates
the present ascendancy of the comparatively
conservative Hartung-Helmick faction in the
timber workers' union. That group being in
nntrn1 rpmiHiation of the Newdealer was vir
tually a foregone conclusion, for the paper has
pulled no punches in opposing it and denounc
ing it as "disloyal" to the CIO movement.
On this issue aS between CIO factions, again
The Statesman does not care to offer opinion
" beyond observing that no matter who is right
or who is wrong, the violent disagreement and
especially the charges of bad faith are unfor-
tunate for the CIO and for labor in general.
Organized labor is already split into the
CiO.and AFL and whatever else may be said,
' there is a lot of sincerity on both sides. Now is
appears that there is discord within the young-
. er of these elements discord which cannot fail
to detract from its effectiveness.
" Interest in the Labor Newdealer incident,
in Salem and in Woodburn, has chiefly to do
with Lee Coe's role rather than with the do
mestic difficulties of the CIO. The evidence
hat action taken by the state CIO council had
ts basis in these difficulties puts a different
light upon the episode even though it does not
indicate who is right and who is wrong
It remains to be noted that in his vigorous
support of one faction in the controversy, Coe
made frequent -and disparaging mention "of the
"capitalist press." Yet he wrote a friendly and
frank letter to the editor of The Statesman,
stating his case and outlining his personal reac
tion to publicity the incident had received in
his "old home town" of. Salem. Somehow, you
see, he failed to identify the fellow in whose
company he had some months ago sipped a
- "coke" and discussed the imperfections of hu
man nature, with the wicked "capitalist press. f
And of course throughout the entire episode,
the editor was, unable to identify Lee Coe, the.
well-intentioned and personable young fellow
who; grew up in Salem, with "that trouble
making radical" denounced in some other quar
ters, Jt just goes to illustrate what personal
acquaintance does to such issues. Furthermore
it explains why class war and violent disagree
ment on a class basis can flourish only in big
cities. In the smaller communities prejudice
and bitterness are always modified by personal
acquaintance. ' '
this district is divided as has been proposed,
the law will affect this county.
There has been , rather widespread sentiment
here in favor of transferring particularly the
probate duties to the circuit court because coun
ty judges usually are not lawyers; though by
the same token, county judges usually are not
chosen for their ability to guide, or to admin
ister a program of guidance for, wayward
children. It is to be hoped that either through
the proposed judicial district change or through
a legislative enactment at a session not too far
in the future, the transfer of duties may be
come effective here.
A young woman from Salem, Elizabeth Steed,
succeeds a young woman from Salem, Betty
Buchanan, as president of the Associated Wo
men Students at the University of Oregon. We
presume it does not detract from the individual
credit due each of them, to suggest that here is
evidence that the Salem environment for youth,
including its school system, is favorable to the
development of constructive leadership.
A diet expert says there are 45,000,000
Americans "below the safety line in diet." There
are probably as many above the safety line,
and so the problem is to feed 'em in the middle
area. La Grande Observer.
The Astorian-Budget thinks Gen. Hugh
Johnson's nose "sharply resembles that of W. C.
Fields." It is our impression that those two
prominent noses resemble each other, not
sharply but bluntly.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 At last it may be dis
closed to a panting world exactly what Mr. Roose

couple of beats, or even four,
five or fifty or else, regardless.
Let me tell it: The office of
production management asked
Henry Ford, to build a new plant
for production of four-engine-bomber
parts. The question arose
where the new plant was to be
located. Mr. Knudsen personally
picked out a site at Ypsilanti,
Mich., near Detroit. He knows

Dissent came first from Ches
ter Davis, the farm leader now
raoj Maiioa a member of the federal reserve
board, who believes new plants should be put into
rural areas certainly away from industrial areas
where labor shortages in certain lines already are
evident. But Mr. Davis is only an adviser in the
dwindling defense commission. He was not even
transferred to OPM. Someone who was, took up
his argument, Mr. Sidney Hillman, whose cardiac
sympathies were irretrievably aligned to Mr. Knud

offered by the president. This was apparently to

.-morning.. His aDolocv was at best weak it was
j fine sumniary of most of the ineptness which
he has so often denounced in other statesmen
and as for the:tjming, .the Duce properly proved
that his troops had not been the only Italians
who had been forced to move long before they
were ready.
In general the Duce openly admitted that
Italy has done -exactly what he has always
said it would never do: he admitted, that it
was forced to go.' to war unprepared,.' that it
attacked Greece , when it was unready and be-, pursued young lady who responded in the nega-
After much discussion, Mr. Knudsen finally con
cluded by saying the factory would go to Ypsilanti
anyway. The adverse beat, which was Mr, Hill
man's, serving also for Mr. Davis, fell in tune at
first, but then bounced back with the .suggestion
that instead the factory beTmilt at Toledo. Hill
man's contention was that the entire population
of Ypsilanti would not be sufficient to man the
Ford factory.
Mr. Knudsen pondered, said no again. Mr. Hill
man thought it over, finally cpined a new and
perhaps historic response. He "gave his consent
without his approval." Consent without approval
may be likened to the solution devised by the
cause it was "forced" to do so, that j,he Libyan
campaign went sour because Graziani needed
"five or ten" more days to perfect his own
onslaught against the British army of the Nile.
The Duce himself, usually the most positive
man who ever faced a microphone, was vacil
lating and inconclusive compared to his usual
performances! cornpared to Churchill's masterly
address three weeks ago, he was almost ridicu
lous.' He dabbled in the usual axis humor with
respect to. America "it is more likely that the;
United! States .will be invaded from Mars than
from the axis and although history will re
cord that his audience "roared with laughter,"
it will not thereby increase respect either for
the audience or the humor. It was a ham per
formancey; -
The words of the Duce were without sig
nificance; but the fact that he uttered them
was important. The fact that he was forced to
gather the , faithful into the Adriano theater
on a few hours notice, harrangue them on the
subject which must be uppermost in every Ital
ian mind, feed them thin excuses to explain
a catalogue of blunders, and promise them only
a victory won by airmen-and tank drivers of
another -nation is quite a lot to take, even for
a docile fascist. And the Italians, whatever their
other shortcomings, are not by nature a par
ticularly docile, people. j.
A solo cussing match 2-25-41
that will interest some
members of present Oregon
legislature; high to low estate:
Passing by the northwest cor
ner of SOuth Commercial and
Ferry streets, Salem, one day
last week, the ears of this col
umnist were greeted . with a
string of cusswords more varie
gated and embellished than he
has heard since he and his pinto
dog herded hogs on Pine Creek
above Weston, in the heart of
the sagebrush empire, or worked
with the first threshing machine
gang in the lovely Shoestring
valley, Douglas county.
These cusswords bore the
stamp of justifiable, circum
stance; as though they were the
only expletives that would fit the
occasion.
They were delivered by a man
working for one of the sanitary
companies of the capital city;
meaning a concern that in the
old days we would have called
one collecting garbage; ' or scav
engers. Getting the gist of the burden
of complaint that called forth the
occasion for the. man "swearing
a blue streak," because he had
spilled a great boxfull of what
he had collected in the building
on -that corner, and was engaged,
in a heavy shower, in gathering
the spilled mescellany from the
muck and mire, this writer tried
to console him with the state
ment that the building j from
which he had collected the mat
ter is a highly historic structure. .
But this only added tone and
temper to the tempest of cussing.
"The idea that a' white 'man
should get so low as. to be '
obliged to handle such a mess!"
he exploded, with a new line
of profanity more profane than
what had served as tall cussing
before.
that the Oregon legislature met
there, the house in the third and
the senate in the second story
(territorial and state) for about
20 years, beginning with the 1857
session and lasting till 1876,
when enough of the capitol that
was burned the night of April
25, 1935, the second capitol to
burn on the same spot, was fin
ished so that room was afforded
therein for the session of that
year, though the hall of the
house was not ready for a long
time thereafter.
The cusser was told that in
that historic building, in the
same period, were the offices
of the territorial and state treas
urers, secretaries of state, etc.,
and the U. S. government office
for federal road builders, in
cluding Fighting Joe Hooker,
etc., and that the election in that

aided vastly in the prosecution
victoriously of the Union armies;
as Baker and other friends in
Oregon, such as Jesse Applegate,
had made the nomination and
. election of Abraham Lincoln
for President possible.
But all that story only height
ened the flow of profanity by the
laborer gathering the muck from
the rain-drenched ruck of the
street.

This writer would like to say
that house bill 82 of the present
session of the Oregon Legisla

introduced by Representatives
Wells, Chindgren, Erwin, Dun

Thomas, Jenkins, Hosch and
Senators Lee and Kaufmann. It
proposes to provide financial
help from the state to school
districts giving especial training
to physically handicapped child
ren with normal or superior
mentality. Ca an the reader think
of any cause more deserving,
in the cases where, without that
special aid,, such children may
be utterly denied the advantages
they soicompellingly need?
What would you, were you
