Balkan Bloc
Russia has finally succeeded in consolidating a Balkan
bloc. Military power arid . prestige have brought all the South
Slav states within the Russian orbit, and some peoples who
are not Slavic in racial drigin. The Pan-Slav effart which be
gan in the time of the Tsars has finally gained success. Hun
gary (partly Slavs), Bulgaria, Romania ! (non-Slavic), . Yugo
, alav'ia are clearly within the zone of Russian dominion. Albania
is too, though hardly a Balkan power; , and farther north are
Czechoslovakia and Poland, both bowing to Moscow's will.
Greece and Turkey alone in the south maintains real inde
. pendence. r ' " " '
Through the ,unity of communist control a Balkan bloc
is in process of being welded. High officials of the several states
have been visiting back and forth professing their community
of interest. They are busy making treaties among themselves
jand with Russia. Exchange of goods is promised and professions
of enduring friendship uttered.
The consolidation will prove political rather than eco
nomic. These are largely peasant countries wmcn nave ap
pended on Germany, Italy, Austria, France, Britain and the
Low Countries for manufactured goods. They haven't the ma
chinery or the skills to dot the work themselves. Nor can Ruav

much energy and material have been-devoted to heavy indus

before the w.ar gave their industry a heavy setback.
But these satellite countries were accustomed? to a higher
level of living. , How long will their people be satisfied with
a Russian alliance which produces no goods? And how valuable
will be a political or military alliance with peoples who aje

111 III1.1IIVUI km m uiiiAivaiiuu
The Corvallis Gazette-Times condemns the enforcement of
retirement on faculty and employes of the state 'college who
have reached the age of 65, calls it a "silly regulation," and
says '"from any angle the thing looks screwy." There is of course
strong, -resentment because of the enforced retirement of men
' and wpmen who still have vigor of mind and body and able
to render competent service in the field of education. But it
seems a strange distortion of logic to use this application of the
retirement law which 'thai board of higher education did uni
formly to all units of , the system' into a i partisan wrangle aa
though the state college was being picked on, and into a re
hearsal of doubt as to the virtue of board 'unification.
i The G-T notes on the latter point that "Irritants are con
stantly appearing to stimulate suspicion and distrust," and pro
ceeds to cite or create a few: I . ;
Was it purely accidental that the chancellor was located in
"Eugene," in. a mansion fail more pretentious and costly to ope
rate than any home occupied by any other state official? Was
it a matter of chance that the chancellor was brought from the
same institution, the University of Iowa, as the president of the
university? And thai both have offices in i the same building?
And did fickle fortune amide university authorities tn the same
place for a dean of the school

group like this should understand each other and should work
harmoniously in (he accomplishment of desired ends?
Such whining is not in the. forthright style of Editor
In galls and we wonder if he has not opened his column to an
unsigned contribution. The "Iowa invasion" should be of much
greater concern to Eugene than to Corvallis. And just what
ioes all this have to do with retirement of OSC "profs a age 65?
The author of the editorial suffers from lack of a sense
of humor. He needs such a solvent to wash away his irritations
and his fears, for they are trivia. The system is functioning
uccesfuUy, a pretty good ash -crust is forming over the fires
of ancknt feuds, the people of the state have a friendly attitude
toward the system and toward its various units. The G-T mur

Danger of Empty Log Flats'
An accident near Sherwood when a car crashed into a
train of log trucks resulBed in death of one young man and
injury f three others. The driver reported he did not see the
flat log cars until his car ' was almost on them it was 11
o'clock at night.
. Such an accident is not surprising. A train of empty log
cars is hard to see,, day i or night. We have observed this in
Salem where such trains go through both on 12th street and
Front street. Trains of empty flats -also go out on the Geer
branch crossing the highway at grade just beyond the peni
tentiary. (They are real danger and the wonder is that more
accidents -like that at Sherwood have not occurred.
- We oo not know the remedy; but clearly the burden is put
or. the Car driver to watch carefully, especially where he knows
the Toad crosses a railroad track. We can't abolish log trains
or trains of empty log trucks, but we do not want them to
become a cause of injury arid of death as at Sherwood.
Several cities and counties report lowered millage rates
fory property taxes, This is made possible by increased cuts
Jrorh state highway funds and by diversion of state Income
taxes to take up the county school levy. Multnomah county
has an increase due. to special levies for welfare voted by the
county "and for schools by, the Portland school district. Marion
county probably will not 'show much change, the savings in
the county school tax being sufficient to offset the extra levy
of i $200,000, for a new courthouse.
