" A m i ww. rfn.ir mnip i u carte, for t This is newspaper week, but in stead of writing about how good our newspapers are I wish to. say they ought to be a lot better than' they are. For one thing our re-j porters and writers are not well; enough educated. They simply do not know enough about - history,; geography,, economics, sciences government, sociology. The train ing In Journalistic skills they get; , at a school of Journalism is no sub4 ititute for broad liberal educa-j tion if they are going to report set eurately and intelligently the hu4 man drama. j,- To Illustrate: the United State la plunged into the center of world politics, so it is of prime import tance that the American people be fully informed about world af fairs. But how many reporters and editors and columnist (Including this one) are competent from study and travel to supply the public through newspapers with correct Information? j Helen Kirkpatrick, herself one ' of the ablest of foreign correspon dents, formerly with Chicago Daily News; now with New York Post, believes from her experience, that "some sort of professional stand ards should be set up to prevent police reporters from moving Into foreign correspondence without a apprenticeship." As she says:! There are too many inflamma ble situations in the world today to play with them.

I Animal Crackers By WARREN GOODRICH Smother Brooklyn Team to 1 Apologies to WIL Lightner Th.e Statesman York, Oct. 1-(Special) -Yankees second game of the big classic. Podunk Center Legion Juniors 3. ere duck soUp, a la carte, for e MacPhajls. In short Brook- looked today as if it belong back in; the Western, Interna- tinnal lenirvi Anrt ven thn" mt times we're sure our WIL boys Would have made some of the ' lays the latbush nock fouled p today.- " Tuesday it was Brooklyn, de- Dite losing, which looked like jthe best team afield. Today the Yankees had the zip and fire as the National leaguers seemed to go completelyto pieces. Even the noisy chatter r from the Dodger dugout died put today when the Yanks got as! much as 8-1 ahead.' Long lilt Nited Although the Yanks didn't have to be too potent in the .' second game, what with Brooklyn going to pot it was evident that the stadium men do have plenty , of explosiveness within their ranks. Johnny Lindell smashed a triple well over 400 feet into center field. Bill Johnson cracked two drives which also conquered the 400-foot mark and Tommy Hen rich'i home run, the first Yan kee four-master of the series, was a terrific clout - that landed in "Ruthvllle" to the left of the Yan kee bull pen In right field, some 380 jfeet from the takeoff point On the other, hand Dixie Walker's homer for Brooklyn was pulled almost straight, down the right field line and went into the seats about 10 rows- back where the 300-foot marker resides. It wasn't much of a drive but was well placed. We believe the longest ball hit in the series so far came Tuesday however, when Joe DiMaggio end what a great ball player be Js smashed drive off Hugh Casey which Carl Turillo finally hauled down right in front of the 415-foot mark in left center. Had the wind not been i blowing a young gale at the time DiMag's clout most certainly would have gone into the seats some 450 feet from home plate. Tomorrow: Ebbetts Field Tomorrow it's over to the land of the knuckle sandwich and rhubarb, Ebbetts field, for the third game. And from what the Dodger fans claim their heroes will do to the Yankees over there, some Yankees had best be pre pared to face a first cousin- to a cyclone. But then the Dodgers had best be blowing up something besides themselves, for the Yanks are now two in front and im. Ingly headed for another of theirj iamous -iour straight" world series campaigns. Another left hander, Je Hatten, has been named for Brooklyn tomorrow, and old Bobo Newsorn has the call for New York. Manager Harris yesterday said it would be either Newsorn or Salem's Bill Bevens in the third game, and today nam ed the always loquacious but of ten effective Newsorn. ? That means that Oregon's hope in the big show likely will toil In the fourth game Friday at Ebbetts field. It might be mentioned too that Lefty Hatten had best have more than Lombard! had today, for the Yanks took to little Vic as if they had been waiting for him to come along for years.

Carpenter NEW YORK, Oct. 1-(P)-Rus-sia protested in a special state ment tonight against attempts of "certain delegations, primarily those of the United States and Great. Britain," to preveni the election of the soviet Ukraine to the United Nations security coun cil. , The Russians insisted that the Slav states "have an indisputable right to propose a candidate of their own and count on the full sopport of the general assembly." This development came as Rus sia cast two vetoes in the secur ity council at Lake Success to bar Italy and Finland from the U. N. This raised Russia's, veto total to 22. The applications of three other ex-enemy states, Hungary, Ro mania and Bulgaria, favored by Russia, but opposed "by the U. S. and Britain, failed to receive a sufficient majority to pass the security council hurdle. The sov iet Ukraine and India are con tending for the security council seat to be relinquished by Po land December 31 at the end of Poland's two-year term. The Ukraine needed six more votes to' be elected over India when the delegates put that contest aside until next week.

Bowling, company auditor in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, testified here Wednes day at the hearing on the com pany's application for a rate in crease of $2,249,000 annually. The net return, prior to a re cent $1,260,000 wage increase, was 6.02 per cent, Bowling said. He stated that a net return of less than. 7 per cent would not be sufficient to meet the increase. The hearing is before Public Util ities Commissioner George Flagg. While under cross examination by Assistant Attorney General Rex Kimmel, the auditor empha tically denied that any of the cost of the company's San Francisco building was being charged against Oregon operations.
