For Coach Job
- Al Lightoer, sports editor of
The Oregon Statesman, will be
doggoned if hell write this .atory
(even though he would Uke to ex
press hla appreciation far the
facts behind it). In fact, Al not
onlr was doseoned but he was
flabbergasted by the incident
which brings it on. Se herewith
he gets an assist:
Last night Capitol Peat Ameri
can Legion was host to the base
ball teams of the legn the
legion junior team which Light
ner coached, the A and B cham
pions and the Pee-wees. The im
portant details are on AT sports
page this morning. But here's the
one on Al himself: I
Oliver Huston, chairman o the
legion's athletic committee, called
Al up front, handing him a check
for $75 which is what Al would
have been paid had, he not can
celled three personal appearances
In baseball games in order to stay
withhis legion team on the three
days in question. Al mumbled
something or ther, and tried to
slink t his seit.
"Come back! here; we're not
through with you yet," Huston
ordered., :.'"
So Al came back.
"And here's another $100 just
as a token of our appreciation
for what you've done for our
youth," Huston said, again ten
dering a .check to Al.
Youngsters and adults all
voiced their; approval vociferous
ly, and Al he couldn't say a
thing. Hence, it's said for him.

Permanent Peace Possible ; !

. -it 1 , t
Real Power, Morse Says
; By Lillie L. Madsen 1 If
Farm Editor, Tha Statesman
You can't preserve peace on a permanent basis in the world if
part of it is occupied by .an enslaved afad oppressed people, Oregon's
Senator Wayne L. Morse told members of the Oregon Farmers Union
at Champooeg Sunday.' . 'f J
More than 600 Union members inq friends gathered at the park
for their annual summer meetin. f 4 f
Hope of world peace, the senator said, depends upon the world
court and this court must have
compulsory rather than optional
jurisdiction. There js nothing In
experience to make us believe a
court can function if compliance
with its rulings-is voluntary, he
said.
. "We have to be realistic enough
to realize if we settle all disputes
ourselves we are not working for
world peace." He hoped that "dur
ing the next 100 years we would
learn to live in peace so that every
question which has in the past led
to war will be settled by judiciary,
unbiased Judgment of a world
court."
The senator amplified by stating
that we are not going to be able
to separate our domestic prob
lems from our international, and
added that if we have a third
world war we will never have a
fourth, "nor will we finish the
third."
In reference to the political and
economic aspects, the senator out
lined the fight made by himself
and other senators for the main
tenance of the fair employment
act, funds for which were voted
down by what he called "political
manipulations."
"If we cannot carry political
freedoms over into economic free
dom then we stand to lose," he in
sisted. Our form of democracy cannot
survive depression in widespread
form, the senator asserted, adding
that "we must be willing to use
resources of America to provide
and maintain what is called the
American way of life."
Of the nation's goal of full em
ployment, Morse said that for the
adjustment period we must stand
r,eady to spend. Private industry
must be so encouraged that it can
provide the greatest number of
jobs. Maximum of administration
must fall on local government. He
scored the notion that if we sub
mit a problem to Washington, it
will be solved.
"The boys in Congress are no
smarter than any other group.
Recognize that they are your ser
vants and not your masters and
that you must keep them that
way."
In closing Senator Morse. said:
"If we have faith in the faith of
our fathers then we 'should re
dedicate ourselves to that faith
and that faith will carry on."
Ronald -. Jones, state Farmers
Union president, was chairman of
the program following the basket
picnic at noon. Roy Hewitt, in re
spect to World Prayer day, gave
the peace thanksgiving prayer.
James Smart led in group singing
and Mrs. William Knorr directed
the juniors in song.

S.P.! Discusses
Problems With
Gty Council
The Southern Pacific railway is
more than willing and anxious to
do- anything It can to cooperate
with the city of Salem in various
details. This was the statement of
I P. Hopkins, general cuoerin-
tendent of the company, at the city
council meeting Monday night
One councilman, accepting his
offer to discuss problems, wanted
to know why Salem could not
have a green, yard around the
depot as was true in Eugene. Hop-
kins pointed out that there was
a lawn here, although admitting
the lawn had not been cut as fre
quently as necessary, but promised
he would attend to that person
ally. f-
Evidently thinking the objec
tions were at an end, Hopkins
stepped out and suggested that the
city could help the company. He
cited the instance of an engineer
who had been compelled to make
an emergency stop in Salem last
week when an automobile driver
failed f to stop and insisted on
beating the train to the crossing.
"In j that connection, I would
like to ask about some things,"
Councilman Armstrong said, "I
was at Trade and Liberty tonight
at 7:30 and they were making a
flying" switch."
Hopkins asked several questions
and finally said, "Was there any
body on the crossing?" and Arm
strong shot back, "I was there."
The appearance of Hopkins with
a large group of railroad men at
the council meetings followed ob
jections voiced recently by coun-
cilmen to alleged delinquencies of
the company
Hopkins was asked last night
about the signals for D street, and
Armstrong chimed in with a
query about Madison street. Hop
kins admitted he did not know
the status but would look it up.
Large Group
Attends Junior
Hostess Meet
Approximately 125 girls at
tended the junior hostess meet
ing at the YMCA Monday night,
to hear Lucy Coe, the USO's as
sistant director, discuss plans for
entertainment and organization
of teams of junior hostesses.
Mrs. Coe said after the meeting
that there was an actual need for
more hostesses, if Camp Adair
continues,' and urged . that ' girls
who- are over 18 years of age or
high; school graduates ' submit
their applications.! Only other
qualifications are that each girl
should furnish three references to
be passed upon by a USO com
mittee and that each is required
to take a training course before
she is granted a junior hostess
card.
Hostesses are divided into teams
of 10 girls each, headed by a
team captain, according to regu
lations adopted by the group at
the nieeting. Each team will ro
tate i on different phases of en
tertainment for the servicemen,
which will include, besides the
formal dances, bicycle parties,
picnics, talent nites and trips to
the camp. Hostesses will b also
expected to serve at the desk, at
dances, and at the canteen at the
USO building.
Team captains will meet at
6:30 ; p. m. Friday for a dinner
meeting, Mrs. Coe added, and will
discuss further plans for enter
tainment and organization. j

Estimated Sclwol Costs Up for
Next Year: Enrollment Boosted
. r I " j , ' il
The cost of conducting the Oregon public schools, probably will
increase to $31,923,000 for the 1V43-40 scnooi year, ex rutnam,
state superintendent of public instruction, said Monday at a meeting
of Gov. Earl Snell's tax study commission. The cost for the school
years 1943-44 was $22,544,558. New
legislation permitted ; the j increas
ed estimate. . ." ; T
Largest percentage of this cost,
he said, will be employment of
teachers and administrative offi
cials. The estimated enrollment
for the coming school year is 237,
387. up about 11,000.
The bond indebtedness of the
school districts decreased from
$19,604,297 ia 1330-31 to $7,698,
690 in 1843-44 with a falling off
of warrants during the same per
iod from $2,413,417 to $413,640.
H Under a temporary program the
public schools now receive state
support in the amount of $8,000,-
000 annually, exclusive of the ele
mentary school fund, which is
permanent, aggregating $2,100.
000. Approximately $300,000 is re
ceived by the schools from the
irreducible school fund.
Hand Sacsested
Putnam suggested that a mini
mum state equalization fund be
provided to effectuate the state's
share of the school program equal
to approximately 50 per cent of
current operating costs. At the
1944-45 levels this would approx
imate $12,500,000, including re
ceipts from the elementary school
fund.
One highlight of the session was
the -comment by Kelly Loe of the
AFT, to the effect that Tax Com
missioner Coe McKenna, who also
is a member of the tax study com
mission, had been represented as
publicly favoring the sales tax
(which McKenna previously en
dorsed), and McKenna's response
to' Loe's objection: "I do not in
tend to advocate a sales tax be
fore this commission."
The commission" approved a re
port of a special committee rec
ommending employment of Sam
uel ' James Barrick, Washington,
D. C, as its executive research
director. Barrick is a graduate of
the Ohio State university and for
tout years was employed as fi
nance examiner in the bureau of
community facilities, federal works
administration.
The next meeting of the tax
study commission will be held
early in September. 7
