Nylons ... and Rumor
It is an adverse commentary on our "enlightened" day and
age that rumor still play an important part in human affairs.
The American people are supposedly the best informed in the
world, vet Salem women this week bought nylon hosiery with
a fine frenjry and men apprehensively checked their tire treads
only because there we$e rumors that nylon and rubber were
-frozen."
j The prevalence of rumors and public reaction to them has
prompted two Harvard psychologists, Gordon W. Allport and
Leon Postman, to write an unprecedented book dealing exclu
lively with loose talk. ("Psychology of Rumor," Holt, 1947).

and uncertainty in the hearer and this in turn results in inaccu

the crowd, and crowds are notorious for unthinking behavior
Rumors flourish like bees at a honey jar when people are
strained and uncertain and unhappy. Jails, for instance, are
usually vibrant with groundless stories. So are countries when
the population is uneasy . . . like America today.
The psychologists have discovered that rumors relieve,
justify and explain emotionaHensions. Talking about the "next
war and the "evidence which points toward its proximity
somehow elpi relieve tension and fear; it is a sort of collective
whistling in the dark. The nylon shortage rumor may be based
on facts, but while it is unconfirmed it must be taken as mere
variation of the war gossip. 1
Furthermore, the researchers say, individuals project them
selves in rumors. The man who spreads a tale with assurance
that he has it "straight from the
ble sources close to the White House" is just inflating his own
sense of importance. Or the rumor-mongers may be wishful-
thinkers, victims of a mild schizophrenia.
These types of rumors are not in the same' class with rum
ors consciously directed and propelled for definite reasons by
propagandists. The spontaneous
spreads with various mutations.
All of which does not speak well for the mental health of
the people. Widespread rumors and the credence placed in them
are a symptom of unhealth in a public which is unable or afraid
to face facts. It seems to be much easier to whisper about war
and shortages than to work for

BY JAMES F. BYRNES
- Ex-Secretary ef State
Immediately after announcing
the Soviet Union's acceptance of
the president's proposal on voting
procedure in the
security council,
Mr. Molotov ex
pressed the hope
that Byelorussia,
the Ukraine and
Lithuania would
be admitted to
the United Na
tl o n s . In any
event, he said, he
hoped the first
)
i ' 7
two would be ad-
James Byrnes mitted. Marshal
Stalin made a forceful plea in
support of the suggestion.
Prime Minister Churchill sup
ported the Soviet request stating:
-My heart goes out to White Rus
sia, bleeding from her wounds
while beating down the tyrants."
President States Case
Not wishing to agree, and yet
not wanting .to oppose Churchill
and Stalin directly while the issue
of international organization was
in the balance, the president made
this statement: -The British Em
pire has great populations in its
dominionsv like Australia. Canada
and South Africa. The Soviet gov
ernment has great masses of pop
ulation like the three dominions
mentioned. The United States has
no colonies but has a large popula
tion. Brazil is smaller than the
Soviet Union but larger in area
than the United States. There are
many countries with small popu
lations; like Honduras and Liberia.
"We must study the question of
whether any country should be
given more than one vote. I do
not want to break down the prin
ciple of one vote to each nation.
Therefore, we can decide on the
general plan of a meeting to or
ganize the association and then
before the meeting, through the
foreign secretaries, or at that meet
ing, we can decide these ques
tions and I will be glad to take
them up.
Plan Finally Accepted
There was no dissent Because
I was strongly opposed to granting
the Soviet request, I thought the
president had done a good job and
that we might hear no more of
the proposal. But at the confer
ence table the next afternoon the
president began reading a report
of the meeting of the foreign min
isters which had just been handed
him and said:
"Paragraph 2 is that it will be
for the conference to determine
the list of the original members
of the organization. At that stage
the delegates of the United King
dom and the United States will
support the proposal to admit to
original membership two Soviet
Socialist republics."
The report was agreed to.

By Lichty
Speaking Frankly
I learned later that at the for
eign ministers meeting. Mr. Eden,
who wanted to be certain of the
admission of all members of the
British Commonwealth including
India, which was not an inde
pendent state, agreed with . Mr.
Molotov on the votes for Byelo
russia and the Ukraine. Mr. Stet
tinius then also agreed to the ar
rangement. As the meeting opened,
the secretary advised the president
of the action which the president
later announced, and the heads of
government approved.
Surprised at Accord
I was surprised at the agreement
which, in my opinion, was very
unwise. After the meeting I
urged my view upon the president.
I reminded him that before we
left Washington he had told a
group of senators that if Stalin
proposed granting membership to
Byelorussia and the Ukraine, he
would insist upon membership for
each of our 48 states. The truth is,
the Soviet republic's are no more
independent than the states of
our union.
1 urged the president at least to
ask that the United States be
granted a number of votes equal
to those of the Soviet Union. The
president feared it was too late
but said he would consider it. On
the last day I spent at Yalta, Feb.
10. the president wrote Mr. Stalin
a letter which stated:
"I am somewhat concerned lest j
it be pointed out that the United j
States will have only one vote in
the assembly. It may be necessary
forme, therefore, if I am to insure
wholehearted acceptance by the j
Congress and people of the United
States of our participation in thej
utnrl4 Artf o nlTD rr t aclr trip ftd-l
ditional votes in the assembly in
order to give parity to the United
States."
Stalin Gives Assent
The following day Marshal
Stalin advised the president that
he entirely agreed with him that
"since the number of votes for the
Soviet Union is increased to three
in connection with the inclusion of
the Soviet Ukraine and Soviet
White Russia among the members
of the assembly, the number of
votes for the U. S. A. should also
be increased.
'The number of votes for the
U. S. A. might be increased to three
as in the case of the Soviet Union
and its two basic republics," he
said. "If it is necessary I am pre
pared officially to support this
proposal."
President Roosevelt also asked
Churchill for his views, and
Churchill stated he would support
the president In any proposal he
made to achieve American equality
with other nations.
When I arrived in Washington,
there was waiting for me in the
White House map room the fol
lowing cable:
"For Justice Byrnes from Mr.
HoDkins: .
"The President has received
completely satisfactory replies
from the Prime Minister and Mar
shal Stalin on additional votes to
achieve parity for the United
States, if necessary. In view of the
fact that nothing on this whole
subject appears In the communi
que, the president Is extremely
anxious no aspect of this question
be discussed even privately."
Subiect Kept Quiet
I assumed he had some very
good reason for not wishing this
matter to be discussed, and I com
plied with the request.
The president and his advisers
concluded not to ask at San Fran
Cisco for compliance with the
agreement that we have as many
votes as were given to Russia. He
did not again discuss the subject
with me, and. I did not know he
had changed his mind. I admit
that the public opposition to Rus
sia's three votes as against our
one was not so great as I had ex
pected. But nevertheless I think
we should have insisted at San
Francisco on the agreement made
at Yalta. I felt then and feel now
that the smaller states would have
opposed the request of the Soviets
and the United States. This course
would have been lust and it would
have resulted tn both governments
having only one vote. That would
have been the best solution.
Top Secret Protocol
Another agreement was made at
Yalta which was to confront me
later. This was the "Top Secret"
protocol in which it was agreed
that in return for Soviet partici
pation in the war against Japan
the Kurile Islands would be
"handed over" to the Soviet Un
ion. It also provided that "the for
mer rights of Russia violated by
the treacherous attack of Japan
in 1904 shall be restored," and list-
Problem;

r i
ed these as the return of the south
ern half of Sakhalin Island, inter
nationalization of the Port of
Dairen, the lease of Port Arthur
as a Russian naval base, and joint
Russo-Chinese operation of the
Chinese Eastern and South Man
churian railroads. The United
States was to use its Influence to
have China agree to that part af
fecting China's territory.
I did not know of this agree
ment but the reason is under
standable. At that time I was not
secretary of state. Mr. Stettinius
was secretary.
President Remains
Because of problems that had
arisen in Washington the president
wanted me to return with Admiral
King, who was leaving at noon
on Feb. 10. We expected the
conference would end that evening
and that the president would leave
the following day. But that after
noon Stalin requested the presi
dent to remain one more day. He
said they could not conclude their
work and he wished to discuss
some matter he deemed important.
The president complied. The
agreement as to the Kurile Islands
was reached in private conversa
tion among the Big Three instead
of at the conference table, and the
protocols, including this one, were
signed on Feb. 11. Had I been
in Yalta that day It is probable I
would have learned of it.
When the president returned he
did not mention it to me and the
protocol was kept locked in his
safe at the White House. In the
early summer I learned that Presi
dent Roosevelt had undertaken to
induce China to make the conces
sions affecting Port Arthur, Dai
ren and the railroad, but it was
not until some time after I be
came secretary of state that a
news story from Moscow caused
me to inquire and learn of the full
agi-eement. I presented the mat
ter to President Truman and he
requested Admiral Leahy to trans
fer to the state department those
documents at the White House
containing agreements with for
eign governments. I wanted to
know how many IOUs were out

Mr. Byrnes resigned In April, 1943. as

day after the funeral at Hyde Park
President Truman asked Mr. Byrnes to

Crowding Cited as Barrier for
Efficient Operation of Growing
State Department of Education
By Margaerlte Wright
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Cloak rooms in the state department of education offices in the
state library building have been evacuated to make place for filing
cabinets and clerical workers are banging elbows with each other.
Crowding has increased to such a great extent in recent years that ex
ecutives say efficient operation is a strain and work Is piling up on
the desks.
This is the picture expansion
of services with limited facilities
to perform these services given
by Rex Putnam, state superin
tendent of pubtic instruction; O.
I. Paulson, director of the divi
sion of vocational education; Mil
ton Coe and Irvin F. Bryan, coun
sellors for the division of voca
tional rehabilitation.
Ten years ago 12 persons, in
cluding clerical help, handled all
the activities of the education of
fice. The biennial budget in 1937
39 was $67,675. This year there
are 52 clerical and professional
workers in Putnam's office, and
the biennial budget is $489,082.
Laws Make Work
Most of the growth in services
of the department is directly due
to legislative action.
In 1941 the legislature launch
ed the handicapped children's
program under the state educa
tion department The health and
physical education program was
imposed by law in 1945. Last year
the school lunch program was
passed. The federally - financed
Indian education program also
was turned over to Putnam last
year. These four programs brought
nine additional persons to the
staff, and three others have been
added as the superintendent's re
sponsibilities increased.
The basic school support law
which went into effect this year
meant the employment of seven
additional school supervisors and
three other technicians.
Field Offices Formed
In 1937 one director and one
clerk handled the work of the
division for vocational rehabili
tation, under the state board of
education. Since then, four field
offices have been established in
principal Oregon cities, and the
central office in Salem houses Di
rector C. F. Feike, three counsel
lors and five additional personnel.
Responsibilities of the division
have grown accordingly. Ten years
ago 839 persons were registered
for aid and 91 cases were re
habilitated on a budget of $25,134,
half of which was federal funds.
This year 2103 cases are regist
ered; 1036 persons are receiving
rehabilitation.
The current budget is $160,761.
of which $111,800 is federal aid.
The 336 Oregon i a ns rehabilitated
last year now earn an average
weekly wage of over $40. The
service costs approximately $400
per person; keeping that person on
relief would cost the state about
$500 a year.
Service Growth Cited
Changed interpretations of state
and federal laws are declared to
have caused the great increase in
service which this division now
offers.
Ten years ago It provided some
training and placement with the
distribution of artificial limbs to
needy comers.
; The services now provided ahe:
1. Medical - examinations. 2
Vocational counselling. 3 Physi
cal restoration to reduce handi
caps. 4 Vocational training in
Oregon schools, and colleges, and
apprentice programs. 5 Artifi
cial appliances. 6 Maintenance
for trainees. 7 Placement ser
vices and follow ups.
The result is more teachers, law
yers, farmers, artists, bookkeep
ers, stenographers, lumbermen and
other useful citizens for Oregon.
However, department leaders
say work is being hampered by
inadequate office space, and there
are no private interview rooms
where applicants can feel free to
tell their troubles to sympathetic
counsellors.

cation another story of expansion
and lack of space is evident. Here
every addition to the staff is due
to special programs, many of them
the result of the war. In 1937 there
were 21 employes; the number has
doubled in ten years. Services of
the division have increased in ra
tio. From 1940 to 1945, 350,000 per
sons were trained under the divi
sion's war production training pro
gram. The postwar special programs
include on-the-farm training and
on-the-job and apprentice train
ing for veterans. These additional
services meant the employment of
five administrators and seven
clerks in the state office. The com
bined programs administered un
der Paulson serve about 21,000
persons.
The need for more office space
would be filled if offices not as
sociated with the entire education
al set-up could move out of the
state library building Into the pro
posed new office structure. But in
the meantime well, Putnam
points out that cloak rooms, after
all, were not built for filing cab
inets.
