Don't Cripple the Bus System
j The. city council made a serious mistake at its last meeting
when it granted permission to operators of a new suburban bus
line "io do an intercity business also along its route, it one sub

' the result will be that the finances of the Oregon Motor Stages

r4-It is quite essential for Salem to have a good city bus serv-
SceC Oregoni Motor Stages has furnished that through the years
' And the new owners are making a heavy investment to provide
the routes with new and more comfortable buses. The company

u council ought to reconsider its hasty action and restrict the new
i 12th Street suburban line to suburban service.

able congressman and has served competently as secretary of the
treasury. He was judge -of the circuit court of appeals for the
District of. Columbia for a few years. But he seems quite inade
quate to fill the seat of Stone and Hughes and White and
- Marshall
' As for Snyder, he has already proved himself one of Tru-

stronger statement of determinaUon to resist "handing every country

1 Behind all this is the major inside question of whether a strong

Russia wants war leu than anyone. She is merely playing upon

r of anything military except a short campaign which could not long
. be successful against United Nations planes and navies. War is really
unthinkable for her now but nrtt for three, five or ten years from
now,. . ' j
Tusse to Take SUad is New
The time to take a stronger! diplomatic stand against advance
ment toward a communist empire of the world is now. This is the
tiro to stop the war by fullest diplomatic firmne. not later when
, her empire has grown strong and Us able to store and equip itself for

STRATEGY IS THE CIVIL WAS. ky
Rrrn DaSrlck (Military Ser
lr rllbln(: S2 M).
The generals who run a war
are governed by (certain basic
principles of strategy, no matter
whether their armies fight with
stones, or with rbckeuv Surprise,
concentraUon of combat power,
mobility, security--on such ten
ets are battles woo and lost.
Barron Deaderlck has taken
these principles laid down by
Napoleon, Clausewitz, and oth
ers and as true today as when
they were written and used
them as a yardstick of appraisal
for the strategy of the principal
Civil War battles and cam
paigns. He tells the battle's sto
ry, simply and tersely, then
shows how the opposing cap
tains won or lost by the degree
of their adherence to the fun-
da mental rules.
There are i exceptions. Lee
practically threw away the book
at An tie tarn and got away with
it. Grant forgot about security
at Shi 1 oh and yet escaped dis
aster. But these show only that
something besides : a knowledge
of the rulebook gpes into the
making of a military leader. Ia
the main, it ia amazing to note
hew persistently the neglect of
one or more of these time-worn
maxims decided the outcome of
a battle.
There is nothing really new in
this book. Indeed, the author ov
erlooks some new material of
fered by Douglas Southall Free
man in "Lee's : Lieutenants-
which might have; softened his
judgment of Longs treet's delay
on the second day at Gettys
burg. But it ; is an interesting
and valuable presentation, none
theless, and one that will be ap
preciated by any one with more
than a passing interest in the
Civil War.

PORTLAND. June 6-(yP)-The
bread shortage is being felt more
sharply in upstate Oregon than in
the Portland area, the department
of agriculture's food distribution
advisory committee reported to
day. The committee, holding its
monthly session, said some larger
bakejies were halting upstate
shipments and selling their en
tire output to city retailers.
Some upstate towns are getting
only half their normal supply, of
ficials, reported, while 75 per
cent of the Portland demand is
being met.
The group passed a resolutios
opposing any return to food ra

Pride, Patronage, Politics
Jeopardize Congress Raise
By Alex Slngleten
WASHINGTON, June 6 -(A)-A triple threat - - pride, patronage
and politics - - jeopardized today senate passage of a bulky bill to
overhaul the nation's lawmaking machinery.
Tjjne question of pride centered upon proposed reduction of senate
committees and consequent eliminaUon of a number of highly-prized
cnairmansnips.
That of patronage was raised
over the provision thst a person
nel director - - rather than com
mittee chairmen - - would control
appointments to well-paying jobs
as legislaUve experts. I

vately counted these factors as
the chief obstacles in the way of
their plan to streamline congres
sional machinery.
Despite this, however, the plan
attracted bi-parUsan support in
the first full day's debate after
Senator LaFollette (Prog - Wis)
outlined it and termed it neces
sary to avoid a "constitutional
crisis."
Product of a year-long study by
a joint congressional committee,
the measure would:
1. Limit the number of senate
committees to 16. There are now
33 standing and ten special com
mittees, an average of six seats
for each member.
Previde Staff
3. Provide the committees with
a staff of four experts each.
3. Give each member an admin
istrative assistant to handle con
stituents requests.
4. Tighten fiscal control by pro
viding for adoption of annual fed
eral budget controls by joint ac
tion of the revenue and appropri
ating committees of both houses.
5 Eliminate some of congress'
routine chores such as acting on
each separate bill to build a
bridge or pay a damage claim
against the government.
6. Boost the pay of members of
congress from $10,000 to $15,000
a, year.
7. Permit pensions for members
of congress by authorizing them
to contribute to the federal re
tirement system and to share in
its benefits.
