Production in Ruaaia
One thinj i characteristic of modern Russia, that is its
dynamism. It no sooner concludes war which devaitated the
country and thoroughly wearied the inhabitants than it inaugu
rate a new five-year plan whose emphasis is still on heavy
construction. This means continued sacrifice on the part of the
Russian people who will get only limited quantities of fpod and
consumer goods. Yet the people accept the mandate. The rum
ors of grumbling, may have some foundation, but not enough
to endanger the masters of the kremlin. 4
J. Alvarez del Vayo, Socialist member of the exiled Spanish
cabinet, has written a series of articles in The Nation, whose
tone, as might be expected, is highly sympathetic with the Rus
sian experiment in economics and politics. He reports rapid
progress in rebuilding the areas ruined under German occupa
tion, and notes the goals that are set up for expansion of metal
industries in particular. For consumer goods the country plans
nii in ne.ehborina? countries hence its trade
deals with Sweden and Switzerland, Its confiscation of machin
ery m late enemy states as reparations is also intended to in
crease the supplies of consumer goods. j .
Now we can laugh at Russia, or we can become jittery over
her industrial development. Here is a place for ridicule, when
Del Vayo writes: 1
But the fact remains that, despite the spirit ! of sacrifice
delayed y worker on the home front, the red army received
twice as much equipment from the allies as tt did from -Russian
mar plants. Morever it was not only a question Of amount; even
before the war the Ruenians had the greatest respect for Amer
i an industrial techniques, a respect that increased when
Amern : equipment fimt arrived on the eastern front and
when the magnificently armed American soldiers appeared on
the attkfiels of Europe.
Here is another: the goal for motor vehicles under the
five-year plan is 428.000 trucks. 65,000 passenger can, 6,500
autobuses. It is not clear whether this is the total for production
In the five years, or is the annual rate to be attained when the
period ends. Either way the numbers are small compared with
our past utput of 4.838.561 units In 1941. The published goals
for steel and other production will still leave the United States
far in the lead.
Another reaction is to become jittery. See what Russia is
doing to make it'aelf strong; we should jump on her while .she
is weak and knock her out. That is both dangerous and immoral.
Our people need to catch a little of the Russian dynamic
spirit and organize and direct our energies not only to maintain
our military potential but to maintain our standard of living.
We boast of the latter, but it has been deteriorating in many
respects simply for lack of production look at our housing for
Instant proof.
If we can get away from the Idea of plowing under crops,
of suppressing production to sustain high prices, of doing less
work for more money then our" country has nothing to fear
econofTHcally from any country.. If we go soft in the field of
production and unjust in the distribution of goods then we
evpowe ourselves to internal decay which is a forerunner of
external weakness. Here is a socialist slap which is not without
n element of truth in it: quoting Del Vayo again:
It nul4 be ridicul'Hu to deny the element of compulsion
that arromparJes any attempt at a planned economy, especially ?
m -hen the ifrema nds on the people are of such extraordinary mag- i
ntturie But it would be equally foolish to Ignore the difference
in altitude between a worker in a socialist country and one In
a count re ef free enterorise. i
Our safety and the stability of free enterprise (depend
chiefly un what we ourselves do. and not on what Russia does
under her system.

Si!raLft for Veteran Colony
The city council ha approved expenditure of $3.50t) for
gravelling of ttreets and laying of sidewalks in the building area
of southeast Salem provided for veterans housing. It is primarily
city responsibility, since the city is operating the area under
agreement w ith the federal government. The delay has been bad
because rains reduced roads and walkways to quagmires.
Incidentally it may be remarked that this project is proving
boon to many families. Rentals are reasonable, and the build
in have rn fixed up and repainted after the removal here.
The demand for living quarters far exceeds the number of
unit atailatle. but the situation would have been tragically
bad if the project had not been-developed.
When ttreets and walks are in and construction completed,
folk should drive out that way to see what has been accomp
lished through cooperative effort.
! . -I
AiMitional Lighting
Councilman Clians suggested and the council approved the
spending of the extra $10,000 to be received from PGE as license
fee for lighting. It la true the revenues will thus flow right back
to the company which put up the money but In exchange Salem
will get that much more illumination.
We ran stand a lot more. Actually the street lighting prob
lem has not been solvp. Salem streets are very dark on dark
nightf. what with overhanging trees and lights merely at Inter
sections, often only at alternate intersections. We have won
dered if a better system could not be worked out using short
prt at intervals within the blocks, with reflectors throwing
ltht out into the street and lesser illumination back on the
wstka more like the modern sprinkler system for watering
lawns Like the latter it would be costly to, install but it should
spread lighting better and make night walking and driving
safer.
The death of Thomas B. Handler, district attorney of Mult
nomah county, former member of the legislature from Tilla
mook county and former corporation commissioner, removed
manof ability from atate officialdom, one also who was well
liked by his associates. Hi death throws Multnomah county
politics into a bit of a mess, as he was republican candidate for
the office he held. The county committee will rush through a
meeting to name a micceaaor hoping to get the name on the
elect ioei ballot. The democratic candidate is Sen. Tom Mahoney.
When we read that the gold discovery near Crescent City,
Cat. defiatWs on an assay which uses a secret method we are
reminded of the tin strike at Burns where ordinary assaying;
wouldn't work, but an unusual method would turn up the
tin, ami we become skeptical. If the metal is there the usual
aay methods will reveal it. It is possible to "salt" gold mines
as it is -oil wells.
Coos Bay Time reports that instructions were given for
immediate attention to low shoulders. Not a morals note on
fall fashions but trders from the highway department on the

When the proposal was' present
ed to the board of control the lat
ter suggested that the planning
commission survey possible sites
in the area. This has been done
and several such sites were viewed
by the legislators Tuesday. Auth
orization and appropriation by the
legislature would be required be
fore anything could be done.
Warden Alexander has advised
the commission the penitentiary
would want around 2.000 acres of
land, both farm and t woodland,
with. sightly spot for the build
ings; also a location on creek be
cause of the flax : plant and on
railroad and good! highway.
This interim commission h a s
spent a great deaj of time visiting
Institutions here and in other
states and will present its report
to the next legislature.
The removal of the penitentiary
ought to be undertaken at an early
data before much more money is
spent there; Its present location is
not suitable and will become in
creasingly less desdrsble as time
goes on. Salem cannot develop in
an orderly manner with gobs of
state lands fencing in the city cen
ter. If the long range planning
commission can obtain favorable
action on this Item alone it will
have justified its existence.

Reform School
Before Death
I really learned to be a crimi

at Oregon plate penitentiary, for
the prison publication, "Shadows,"
shortly before his execution last
Fridsy for the murder of a police
man. i Released j by Prison Warden
George Alexander Tuesday, the
article by Bailey blamed society
for its failure to teach the young
man how to achieve adventure in
life without! stealing.
1 He : wrote that he started out
Ufa resentful of discipline and
embarked on an early career of
theft. 'fThf only happy days I
spent were! a few weeks with an
Uncle in' Idaho," Bailey continued.
He said; hisj uncle took him swim
ming and hunting and gave him
a gun and a horse.
S "I never stole anything the en
tire time t was at my uncle's
home and had no urge to steal"
Bailey declared. "But they took
rne back home that fall and that
ended my hjappy days.H
( Bailey said he could give no
explanation! or cure for the Juven
ile delinquency problem but
stressed that sending him to the
death chamber would not stop
other crazy! kids from committing
Times. I; j
"There ought to be a better way
to teach boys that they should
obey the laws and live right,"

Norblad Tells
Kiwaniansof
Life at Capitol
"It has been my aim to make
friends oh both sides of the house
since I went to Washington," Wal
ter Norblsd, congressman from the
first Oregon district, told Salem
Kiwanis, club members Tuesday
noon.
"When X first went to the cap
ital I was reminded by a good
friend In Salem that this policy
of making friends had been one
of the reasons for Senator Charles
L. McNary's success. I have striven
to follow this plan."
Norblad ' sketched happenings
following his arrival in Washing
ton and his reception by the Ore
gon congressional delegation.
Among the things watched care
fully by congressmen, Norblad
said, are the various public opin
ion polls since they wish to keep
posted on what people, are think
ing. WJuie welcoming letters from
their consUtutients regarding
pending legislation, it is difficult
to make definite statements in re-
ily, he said. A bill may accumu
ate so many amendments while
before the wseembly that it means
something entirely- different than
it started out to be, Norblad said.
Included among the many guests
at the luncheon meeting was Wal
ter M. Pierce, former governor and
congressman from the second Ore
gon district from 1933 to 1943.
He -now lives nesr Sola in Polk
