A Kiwanian'v Book List
The idea cum to James F. Roche as he stood on the bridge
of the troopship "Argentine" and wondered how many of the
thousands of young Americans she carried to war had known
America. With the help of fellow Kiwanians he decided to stock
in the ship's library a memorial shelf of 100 books books which
tell the story of America with integrity and detachment, books
permeated with the unique flavor, the strong colors, the speech
and life and ideals of her people.
The list of such books was compiled by Roche from selec
tions submitted by 2.000 well-known Americans, critics, writers,
editors, teachers, college deans, historians, politicians. It is pub
lished in the January Kiwanis magazine.
It is a common failing of many book lists that their pub
lishers tend to label them with superlatives the 10 best, thf 23
greatest, the 50 outstanding, and so on labels which demand
proof and evoke criticism. This particular list has no such
grandiose pretentions. It does not claim to include all highbrow
literature and It does not strive to glorify America through flag
waving apologists or drum-thumping propagandists. .
Instead, it tries to photograph America from every angle
through 43 works of fiction: the "little people" In "USA? by
Dos Passos, the workers in "Valley of Decision" by Marcia
Davenport, the immigrants in "Giants of the Earth" byi Ole
Rolvaag. the sharecroppers in 'The Grapes of Wrath" by Stein
beck, the native aristocrats in "The Late George Apley" by J. P.
Marquand, the negroes in "Freedom Road" by Howard Fast,
O Pioneers" by Wills Cather. southerners hV'Look Homeward
An gel" by Thomas Wolfe, the middle-class in "Arrowsmith"
by Sinclair Lewis, etc. t
Several authors, Wilis Cather. Kenneth Roberts, Edna Ferber
and Conrad Richter. are represented by two or more books. It
would probsbly have been wiser to sacrifice their surplus books
In order to include other viewpoints of writers omitted works
of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Theodore Dreiser, James7 FarrelL and
William Faulkner might have been Included.
The proportion of plays and poetry seems meager. Are there
ooly five American poets and three American playwrights worth
mentioning? Perhaps this deficiency is amply balanced by the
47 works of autobiography, biography, history and miscellaneous.
The list is excellent: Carl Sandburg's "The Prairie Years" of
Lincoln, Carl Van Doren's "Benjamin Franklin," Claude O.
Bower's "Thomas Jefferson." "The Education of Henry Adams,"
Richard Wright's "Nstive Son," Edward Bok, William Allen
White, H. L. Mencken, Louis Adamic, Ernie Pyle. John G anther,
Charles A. and Mary Beard, Theodore Roosevelt. Bernard De
Voto. Francis Parkman. Ralph W. Emerson, B. A. Botkin . . .
On the whole, this list accomplishes its purpose the picture
presented include many sides, the ones we brag about and the
ones we slough off. It is not enough to love a country blindly.
Americans by birth or choice are ill-equipped for citizenship
unless they understand the nation and the people. Who reads
this collection of Americana must corns to a more appreciative
and more Intelligent understanding of our country and its
heritage.
Power Shortage
It takes longer now to brew the morning coffee and living
room lights dim when the radio is switched on. That is because
the average family uses nearly 800 kilowatt-hours more electric
power a year than in 1939. two million new consumer families
began buying power in 1947 and the new war-developed Indus
tries require mere power than ever before in history.
The power industry is producing more, too. Operating on
a very slim margin of reserve generating capacity, -the industry
Is st year generated a new record of 300 million kilowatt-hours.
But that is net enough. And nowhere is power as tight as
in the Pacific northwest. Fortune magazine reports that trans
formers at Bonneville dam are so hard pressed that they must
be sprayed with a fire hose to cool them, and the drastic federal
budget cut last year was s considerable setback to adequate
maintenance or needed expansion.
Oregon has three federal generating plants. 20 private plants
and 11 dams above 100.000 kilowatts. There is ample water
power here for 39 federal -public generating plants and four such
plants aie projected, according to the federal agencies operating
in this area. The ultimate output of the Columbia river is
1J.859.7S0 kilowatts (excluding private potentials) nearly four
million k.lowatts more than the ultimate outputs of the Colorado,
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers put together. Columbia out
put is now only 1. 934.930 kw.
The private power industry's five-year $5 billion expansion
program is well under way and, by 1951, will add more gener
ating rapacity than all government plants combined. No one
knows how much power the nation will need industries like
lijht metals, electrometallurgical alloys, chemicals, aeronautics
and atomic energy are growing "power hogs." The increased
federal power project funds provided in the proposed national
budget should encourage the northwest to plan for unprecedented
industrial growth. Private industry and government projects
will probably have to get along and work together as best they
can to harness the mighty Columbia to meet the public need.
Alien Land Laws Impaired
Steadily the walls built on foundations of prejudice are
being undermined. Monday's decision of the supreme court held
it was unconstitutional discrimination to prevent an alien ineli
gible for citizenship from acquiring land in the name of his
American-born son pretty well undermined California's (and
Oregon's) anti-Japanese land laws. While the court did not de
clare unconstitutional the structure of legislation aimed to pre
vent alien ownership or leasing of lands that might be Si next
step For justices were willing to go that far .now.
Oregon already had legislation to prevent aliens ineligible
to citizenship from owning land, and la the heat of wartime
antagonism passed another very stringent law whose purpose
was to prevent Japanese from coming back to Oregon and work
ing land. That law has never been invoked and never tested. We
doubted st the time if it would pass a court test; and this late
division of the supreme court tends to confirm that doubt. It
ought to be repealed.
Meantime the Oklahoma university regents moved to com
ply with the court's previous order by setting up in a few days'
time a new law school for negroes. Of course it cannot so quickly
equal the facilities afforded white students at the university,
and the negroes object to the principle of segregation. The young
woman who was plaintiff in the case continues to seek entrance
to the established school and the case may get back to the
supreme court.
It is a long, slow fight but the battle against racisl Intoler
ance haa to go on.
The idea advanced by Governor Hall of letting Portlanders
vote on a location for a state office building in Portland looks
like passing the buck by the board of control. Ifs a state build
ing, not a city building. Actually, when it comes to voting, the
people of Oregon voted many years ago to locate the capitol
in Salem, but the mandate is only about half complied, with.
For this state office building in Portland, which we are not
opposing, let the board of control look the ground over and then
pick the best location it can find on the wast side.

are reasons for
believing that the makers of Rus
sian policy will grant the world
a lull a period of relaxation of
tension while congress is de
bating the European Recovery pro
gram. If true, this latter news is of
vital importance. It is not too
mucn to say nw
Soviet bullying
and Soviet ag
gression have
provided the con
gressional m a -joritiea
for every
major measure of
American foreign
policy since the
end of the war.
Either just before
or during each :
debate, the Sov
iets have said or
done Just enough
to frighten the waverers Into sup
porting each bill, from the Brit
ish loan down to interim aid.
In the case of the European Re
covery program, fsr larger in scale
and more far-reaching in impor
tance than any of its predecessors,
it was frankly hoped that the Sov
iets would be particularly help
fuL The orations of Andrei Vi
shinsky at Lake Success during
the fall had seemed to set the
tone. (The only amusement of the
immensely unfunny London For
eign Ministers' meeting was pro
vided by a junior member of the
American delegation, who sol
emnly asked a Russian opposite
number whether the Kremlin
would object to Vishinsky being
offered a high American decora
tion "for his constant strong sup
port of American policy.")
Deeds Long Expected
There were many grounds for
expecting that after the break
down of negotiations in London,
the Kremlin would quickly follow
Vishinsky's words with compara
ble deeds.
It was expected, in fact, that
Draconian measures to consolidate
Russian power in the Soviet sphere
would be combined with aggres
sion against every weak point
within reach of Soviet power.
While the last vestiges of oppo
sition were crushed out in eastern
Europe, pressure was to be inten
sified upon Greece; the communist
offensives in Italy and France
were to be renewed with fury; a
campaign for western Germany
was to be launched, and so on. At
the begining of December, all the
evidence, secret and otherwise,
suggested that this was indeed the
Kremlin plan. And if this plan
were now being executed, the ef
fect upon the congress would be
electric.
Timetable Upset
In December, however, came the
setbacks at Paris and Rome, and
shortly thereafter followed the up
set of the Greek timetable, when
the Greek army recaptured Kon
itsa from the communist guer
rillas. No doubt these events
caused the Kremlin to resurvey
the situation.
And it is now believed that the
decision was thus taken to defer
further aggressive action for a
little. In order to let the American
congress forget Its sense of urg
ency, and yield to the election year
temptation to mangle or defeat
the European Recovery program.
Most of the data on which the ex
parts base this tentative conclu
sion cannot be revealed. The con
clusion seems to be supported,
however, both by whst Is known
of the Kremlin's more recent di
rectives to the western European
communists and by recent slight
changes in the method of Soviet
diplomacy.

To be sure, the lull that the
world may now hope for will be
both brief and very Incomplete, if
it occurs at alL
Preparations Kesnala
The Preparations for more open
aggression the struggle for key
positions from which to paralyze
the French and Italian economies;
the effort to capture the west Ger
man labor movement; the prepara
tions for a larger guerrilla effort
in Greece are still being carried
on. Because elections are coming
in Italy and Czechoslovakia, and
because the campaigning season
opens In Greece in the spring, the
lull can hardly last beyond March.
The expectation simply Is that
during the two crucial months im
mediately ahead nothing will be
done to frighten the senators and
representatives out of their obsti
nate dream of false security. Dra
matic stimuli are needed to arouse
the present congress to any genu
inely impelling sense of the world
realities. Even a little calculated
self-control in the Kremlin may
be enough to make the congress
lose touch with reality alto
gether. Kane Awakening Dae
If this happens, the dream will
soon be rudely broken, to be sure.
The defeat or gutting of the Mar
shall plan should bring on a Brit
ish financial crisis in the late
spring, followed by liquidation of
many British overseas commit
ments. Simultaneously, events in
western Europe must quickly as
sume a new and terrible tempo.
- By the -time of the party con
ventions which so obsess the sena
tors and representatives, the grim
outline of the future should be
clear enough to be understood even
by Sen. Kenneth Wherry, end
quite possibly by Sen. Homer
Capehart. By the time of the No
vember election, the whole coun
try should be aware that congres
sional politics and congressional
Isolationism have involved us in an
irretrievable world disaster. The
authors of the disaster will then
receive their Just deserts.
Small Consolation
But this will be small consola
tion indeed, since the disaster will
overtake not merely those who
are responsible but every Ameri
can. Under the circumstances, it
might be well to consider the oth
er alternative. This is for Secre
tary of State George C. Marshall
to spell out in detail the vague
generalities of his statement on the
price of inaction. If Secretary
Marshall puts all the facts in the
record, the congress will act. On
the other hand, the congress can
not be blamed too much if the ad
ministration will not tell the
known truth In concrete, under
standable form.

READEKS
DEFENDS DISTRICT
ATTORNEY
To the Editor:
Having read articles concerning
District Attorney Miller Hayden
tin the way of prosecuting pinball
and slot machine owners, I am
wondering if this isn't a political
attack on our district attorney
and may seem so to many people
who have read the numerous ar
ticles. It seems as though our
circuit judges snd Mr. Steelham
mer are trying to use the slot
snd pinball machines to defeat
Mr. Hayden.
I am not writing this article
because I am for pinball and slot
machines but for fair play in
politics.
Our last grand jury was held
over for a whole year, and this
is one thing that they had against
Judge McMahan during hi term
of office.
Our very efficient and worthy
district attorney is a prosecuting
attorney and not an arresting
officer.
Yours sincerely,

and what they talked abeat)
CHAPTER. - VH
Since we have come back from
Russia, probably the remark we
have heard most is this: "I guess
they put on a show for you, I
guess they really fixed it up for
you. They didn't show you the
real thing." The people in this
village did put on show for us.
They put on the same kind of
show a Kansas farmer would put
on for a guest. They did the same
thing that our people do, so that
Europeans say: "The Americans
live on chicken." When an Amer
ican farmer haa a guest he kills
s chicken. They really put on a
show for us. They came dirty
from the fields, and they bathed
and put on their best clothes, and
the women got ; out from the
trunks their- head cloths that were
clean and fresh. They washed
their feet snd put -on boots, and
fresh laundered skirts and
blouses.
Little girls collected flowers
snd put them in bottles, snd
brought them into the clean din
ing room. And delegations of chil
dren from other houses came in
with water glasses, and plates,
and spoons. On woman brought
a jar of her specisl pickles, and
the vodka bottles from all over
the village were contributed. And
a man brought a bottle of Geor
gian champagne, saved for heaven
knows what great occasion.
Homey Kitchen Scene
In the kitchen the women put
on a show too. The fire roared in
the new white oven, and the flat
cakes of good rye bread were
baking, and the eggs were frying,
snd the borscht bubbling. Out
side the rain poured down, so we
didn't feel badly, for we were not
interfering with their work in
harvest time; they couldn't have
been working with the grain any
way. In one corner of the dining
room, which is the communal
room, there was the icon, a Mary
and Jesus, framed and gilded,
under a canopy of hand-made
lace. They must have buried these
things when the Germans came,
for the icon was old. There was a
painted enlarged photograph of
the great grandparents. This fam
ily had lost two sons in the army
and their pictures were on an
other wall, in their uniforms,
looking very young and very
stern and very countrified.
The host was about fifty, with
high cheek bones and blond hair
and wide-set blue eyes. His face
was weatherbeaten. And he wore
the tunic and broad leather belt
of the partisan fighter. And his
face was drawn as though some
where he had received a terrible
wound.
Big Meal Readied
At last the meal was resdy.
Ukrainian borscht, which is a
meal in itself, and hard fried
eggs, with bacon, fresh tomatoes
and fresh cucumbers, and sliced
onions, and ( the hot flat cakes of
sweet rye, snd honey, snd fruit,
snd sausages were all put on the
table at once. And then the host
filled the glasses with pepper
vodka, a vodka in which pepper
grains have been soaked, so that
it has an aromatic taste. And then
he called his wife and his two
grown daughters-in-law, the wid
ows of his dead sons, to the table.

Kiwanis Hears
USC Law Dean
An offer to swsp two weeks of

two weeks of Oregon rain was
made to Salem Kiwanis club mem

school, as an introduction to his
talk on fair practices acts and laws
of the various states, in particu
lar those of western states.
Dean Elliott, not hearing any

And he handed each of them a
glass of vodka.
When the meal waa over there
came the time we were beginning
to expect. The time of questions.
But this time it wss more inter
esting to us because they were
the questions of farmers about
farmers, and about farms. Again
it was clear to us that peoples
have a curious composite idea of
one another. The question how
does a farmer live in America is
impossible to answer. What kind
of farm and where?
Difficult to Picture
It is difficult for our people to
imagine Russia, with every pos
sible climate from Arctic to tropic,
with many, many different races
and languages.
These farmers did not even
spesk in Russian, they spoke in
Ukrainian. "How does a farmer
live in America?" they asked. And
we tried to explain that there are
many different kinds of farms in
America, as there are in Russia.
There are little five-acre farms,
with one mule to work them, and
that there are great cooperation
farms that operate like the state
farms of Russia, except that the
state does not own them. There
are farm communities, rather like
the village we were in, where the
social life was somewhat the same,
except that the land was not
owned communally. One hundred
acres of good bottom land in
America are worth a thousand
acres of poor land. And this they
understood very well because they
are farmers themselves. They had
just never thought of America
that way.

County DA Asked to Rule on
Method of Selecting Constable
The question of whether the office of constable of the Salem
district is elective or appointive is being probed today by Marion
County District Attorney Miller B. Hayden at the request of County
Clerk Harlan Judd Tuesday.
Although no candidates have filed for the office of constable
here yet, Judd said numerous Inquiries have been made.
When the 1947 legislature abol-.
ished the office of elective consta
bles all over the state and made
such offices appointive by the
county courts, did the act in
clude the Salem district. This
question was put in Judd's letter
to Hayden.
The Salem justice of the peace
district, Judd reminded, was also
abolished by the legislature and
the Marion county district court
created which serves the entire
county. The crux of the problem,
Judd stated in comment Tuesday,
lies in the question of whether the
constable of the Salem district has
jurisdiction over the entire county
(as is the district court judge) or
only of the Salem district.
Judd also asked Hayden to rule
on whether mileage fees are al
lowable by law to election boards
who deliver ballot boxes and elec
tion retnrns and also for extra ex
penses incurred during elections by
the county clerk's office.
With the approval of the coun
ty court, Judd said, these fees
have always been paid in Marion
county in the past. But, the county
clerk said, in the face of conflict
ing opinions in other counties, he
is asking for a legal opinion.

American farm machinery, for
that Is the thing they need the
most. They asked about com
bines, and feeders, and the cotton
pickers, and the fertilizer spread
ers; about the development of
new grains, of cold-resistant
grains, and rust-resistant wheat;
about tractors, and how much
they coat. Could a man running a
small farm afford to buy one?
The farmer at the end of the
table told us with pride how the
Soviet government lends money
to farms, and lends money at
very low interest to people who
want to build houses on their
farms. He told how farm Infor
mation is available under the
Soviet government.
We said that the same thing is
true in America, and this they
had never heard of. They had
never heard of the farm loans or
of the great work that is done by
our department of agriculture. It
was all news to them. Aa a mat
ter of fact, they seemed to think
that they had invented the sys
tem themselves.
Sharp Questions Asked
Across the road, a man and
woman were working in the rain,
raising the timbers for their roof
tree to the top of newly built
walls. And on the road the chil
dren were driving the cows in
from pasturage to the barns.
The women in their clean head
cloths leaned through the kitchen
door and listened to the conver
sation. And the conversation
turned to foreign policies, about
which we know very little, and
could not answer very much. The
questions were sharp.
A farmer asked: "What would

And he said: "But you have:

And our host said: "It seems to

ments of Franco and Trujillo, the

We could not answer their
questions because we didn't know
enough, and because we . are not
in the confidence of our makers
of foreign policy. We told them
the questions that are asked ia
America. The questions about the
domination of Balkans : by com
munist parties, the questions and
denunciations about the use of
the veto by the Russians in the
nited Nstions, the questions that
are asked about the denunciation
ox America oj tnc Russian press.
"Must Be an Answer" j
These questions seemed to bal
ance each other, and they knew
no more about their foreign pol
icy than we knew about ours.
There was no animosity in their
questions, only wondering. Final
ly our host stood up, and he rais
ed his glass, and he said: "Some
where, in all of this, there must
be an answer, and there must be
an answer quickly. Let us drink
to the hope that the answer may
be found, -for the world needs
peace, needs peace very badly.'
And he pointed to the two who
were struggling with' the heavy
beams to build a roof, and he
said: "This winter those two will
have a house for the first time
since 1941. They must have peace,
they want their house." He said:
"They have three small-children
who have never had a house to
live in. There cannot be in the
world any ! one so wicked as to
want to put them back in holes
under the ground. But that ia
where they have been living.
Wonder Aroused f
The host opened the - cham
pagne and poured a little of the
precious fluid In each of our
glasses. Te table had become very
quiet. We. raised our glasses, and
no one made a toast.
We drank the chacpagne with

whether there really were people
in the world who wanted to de
