"Fools rush in where angels fear

on ticklish subject! 'which a saddle-broke
reporter wouldn't feel
he dared to mention in the "pres
ence." Such it seems was the ad
venture of a pair of Willamette
co-eds who interviewed Governo.
John H Hall shortly after his re
fusal to commute the sentence of a
condemned negro murderer. The
interview was made the subject of
a talk of one in a speech class and
then wound up as a story in the
Willamette Collegian. Since it was
on, the touchy subject of race re
lations the quotations of the gov
ernor's remarks have set off waves
of reaction among advocates of
"civil rights." Governor Hall later
denied some of the quotes attrib
uted to him, but the girls stand by
their quotes and submit their notes
as "evidence."
Gov. Hall is quoted.as saying.
"There is no necessity for educa
tion on racial tolerance in Oregon
as there is no problem that I know
of." Subsequent quotes, which the
governor denies, would really in
dicate a great need for education
in racial tolerance.
Here is one which, though we
let Gov. Hall disown it. has such a
familiar ring we may well attrib
ute it to Mr. White Man or Woman
in Oregon: "It's negroes like Kai

Democrats to
Shift Tax Gut
Defense Plan
WASHINGTON, Feb. H - (A
A shift in the administration's line
of defense against the tax cut
drive of the republicans was re
ported on good authority today.
A high official who cannot be
named indicated the new strategy
keyed to signs of a potential
change in the business tide would
folldw this outline:
1. Champion a board revision
of the tax laws to benefit business
as well as -individuals. The idea
would be to thus strengthen the
country against the possibility of
an economic storm.
2. Time the revision for later
this year when the budget situa
tion becomes more certain. This
would be done provided that con
gress leaves the government in
financial position to afford
vision costs after allowing
re-
fP
"substantial" reduction of the na
tional debt.
3. Stress that a quick slash,
like that proposed in the repub
lican $6,500,000,000 income tax
cut bill, would smash chances for
"sound" changes in the tax system
in the foreseeable future by eating
up the money available.
Half of Eligible
Voters Registered
In Marion County
Only about half of Marion
county's estimated 60.000 eligible
voters are registered at the" office
of County Clerk Harlan Judd he
reported Saturday.
A total of about 28,500 voters
(500 since January 1) have reg
istered to vote, he said. To the
remaining 32,000 eligible Judd
sent a warning to "register early."
Registration books close April
20. Judd estimates that with his
office's ':mited counter space and
time, it jvould be "a physical im
possibility to register the 32,000
in anything less than 60 full
working days." However, he not
ed, there are now 18 deputized
voter registrars scattered over the
county for the convenience of
those not living in the Salem
area.
Communists Try to
Recruit Children
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 -VPh
Attomey General Clark said to
night that communists are seek
ing converts among American
children "The younger the bet
ter." Clark asserted:
"Recently through the federal
bureau of investigation, : it was
learned that the communists in
this country have started a cam
paign to recruit our children to
their ideology. The younger they
are. the better.'
"The communists know, as Hit
ler did, that if they get the child
ren today, they will have the na
tion tomorrow.'

Inflation
Set Back
6 Months
CHICAGO. Feb. li-JP- Some
major commodities touched at
least a temporary bottom today
after an over - all 10-day plunge
that pushed the inflationary spir
al back six months.
However, soybeans and corn for
May delivery continued their re
cord breaking slump and New
York stocks did little more than
hold their ground at levels near
the lowest in eight months.
Retail prices, always lagging be
hind the markets, still were com
ing down. Soap joined flour,
bread, meat, butter and lard in the
list of shopper items marked down
in some grocery stores. Prices
were down sharply from a week
ago in many New York grocer
ies. Shoppers in most American
cities have had at least a few cents
chipped off their grocery bills.
Halt Downward Skid
All wheat contracts for future
delivery halted their downward
skid. But trading was the quiet
est of the week and there was
not much disposition for prices
to bounce very far back. Prices
were going down at the close.
Grains staged a much stronger
comeback Monday only to resume
their drop until today.
The strongest showing in the
comparatively few markets oper
ating on Saturday was made by
cotton. At New York, cotton fu
tures closed $2.15 to $2.75 a bale
higher. The staple went $1.65 to
$2.50 a bale higher in New Or
leans. Small Advance Noted '
After suffering the sharpest
week to week drop in the 12 years
since it was first compiled, The
Associated Press wholesale index
of 35 basic commodities advanced
about a quarter of point to
186-56.
However, the index which cov
ers commodities in general use,
including foods, was the lowest at
the start of trading today than af
any time since last Aug. 1. On that
date it was 185.37.
Comparisons with other years,
however, show how far the cost
of living has advanced. A year
ago yesterday the index was 169
and two years ago. 113. It hit
a peak of 208.14 on January 9.
Distribution
Of Rat Poison
Claimed Slow
Results of the campaign to give
away rat poison in the city's rat
control program were disappoint
ing last week, it was reported
Saturday by L. M. Cheney, the
Salem rodent control officer.
Cheney,, after offering prepared
red squill type rate bait to the
public (at a different fire, station
on each of four "rat poison days"
during the week), said only 280
citizens called and only 374
pounds of the bait was distrib
uted. He said the citizens who came
in reported a total of 526 rat in
fested buildings. Biggest distri
bution of bait was made at the
downtown fire station Thursday
when 152 pounds went out in
half-pound packages.
Disposition of the remainder of
the 1,000 pounds of bait already
prepared had not been decided
Saturday.

Earl Riley demanded to
night that a Portland city club
committee take its charges of vice
syndicates operating here with po
lice protection before a grand jury.

notoriously" here for several
years.

officials have received "substantial
pav-offs."
The committee estimated gross
PJ-oII,!tJ$CO,000 a month.

his office had delegated police pol
icy and administration to a staff
member. Mayor Riley said "there
is not one iota of fact to support
the statement."
"I take full responsibility and
I have not and never will delegate
responsibility. If there Is any cri
ticism to be leveled at anyone, it
should be leveled a me, not a
member of my staff," the mayor
asserted.

"are true, it is the duty and obli
gation of witnesses who appeared
before the committee to take their
testimony and proof to a grand
jury."

torney John B. McCourt said la
ter tonight that he would initiate
grand jury action if he was able

cated by the City club report.
Taft Supports
U.S. Air Power
DENVER. Feb. 14 - (JP - The
United States should create "the
greatest air power in the history
of the world" to promote world
peace. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said
tonight.
"Not only will that give us the
defense which we need, but it will
deter any threat of attack from
Russia or any other country, far
more than any projected plan of
compulsory universal military
training," the Ohioan said in 'a
prepared text.
school nurses will confer with the
parents of pupils to explain the
dentist's recommendation for
treatment if needed. The school
dental program itself does not in
clude actual dental treatment.
World War II focused attention
on the important part oral health
plays in physical fitness. Local
public health officials state that
Oregon's record was below aver
age, with more than 10 per cent
(1,456 of 13.304) of men examined
in Oregon's first draft rejected
because of defective teeth. Ore
gon men averaged 12.6 decayed or
missing teeth each.
Availability of dentists in Mar
ion county is considered good,
with one dentist per 1,207 popula
tion comparing with Lane county's
one per 1,432 and Multnomah's
one per 878, health officials noted
In 1947 there were 58 dentists in
Marion county.

Winds Delay
Shipping off
Oregon Coast
PORTLAND, Feb. 14rW)-Ca'e
winds halted shipping off the
Oregon coast tonight as a storm
front moved down from the Wash
ington coast.
Two freighters, attempting to
put into the Columbia river, were
riding out the storm off Astoria.
Two others were believed caught
farther at sea. Winds at the river
mouth were measured at 51 miles
an hour with gusts up to 55.
The weather bureau here fore
cast the southerly winds would
decrease after midnight.

the Dona Antonia, a converted
LST with an LCT in tow from
Seattle, and the Santa Leonor, a
ship of 4,832 net tons, also from
Seattle.
Two others due from the Orient
tonight were the Victory type
Marcus Daly and the Washing
ton, each of 4.380 net tons.

Temporary Aid
Plea Slated if
ERP Bill Stalls
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 - OP) -Congress
may face an urgent de
mand for more stop-gap European
aid unless the Marshall plan gets
started by April 1, lawmakers
heard today.
A member in close touch with
the state department said Austria
certainly will need more relief by
then, and maybe one or two other
countries as well.
The long-range, multi-billion
dollar Marshall plan for European
reconstruction is making good pro
gress in an election year congress,
but there is considerable doubt
whether it can be cleared to Pre
sident Truman in another month
and half.
But the $522,000,000 which the
special session of congress voted
for the immediate needs of France,
Italy and Austria is expected to
be spent by April 1.
The man who talked to the state
department said it might be ne
cessary to cut Austrians rations
to 500 calories a day unless new
help is sent. It was feared that low
count far below what Americans
eat might cause food riots and
other disturbances.
Fallon Changes
Political Ties
Robert Fallon, retired navy
chief, withdrew his republican
candidacy for the office of Mar
ion county sheriff on Saturday
and re-filed his declaration of
candidacy for the office on the
democratic ticket
Main reason for the change,
Fallon said, is that he "has al
ways been a party voter in the
democratic party" up to his trans
fer to the navy's retired list last
February.
In a statement Saturday Fallon
indicated that, if elected, he would
reorganize the sheriff, office "for
better law enforcemen for effi
ciency and for cooperation with
city, state and federal agencies."
Official Silence
Reigns on Soviet
'Peace Feelers'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 -JP)-The
state department shut up like
a clam today on the question of
whether a Russian diplomat in
Berlin had called an American of
ficial there recently and thrown
out Soviet "peace feelers."
Informally and privately, of
ficials who are in a position to
know about any such development
said they did not believe there
was anything to it
The reports of Russian "peace
feelers" or efforts to "end the cold
war" go back about ten days. Ini
tially, they came from Berlin and
coincided with speculation in
Washington that Russia might be
ready to seek a settlement of out
standing differences with the west
Wallace Urges
Rental Rollbacks
NEW YORK, Feb. 14-(-Hen-ry
A. Wallace today urged exten
sion of rent controls to June 30,
1950, and a rollback of all rents
to levels of June, 1947.
In a letter to Sen. Charges W.
Tobey (R-NH), chairman of the
senate banking and currency
committee, Wallace also called
for the re-control of all rental
units decontrolled under the rent
act of 1947.

Hopes to Get School
Aid Plan on Ballot
EUGENE, Feb. 14-yp-CoY. John Hall told Interylewf r
here tonight that he would be willing to run for the governor
ship this year, but added I really don't like the life."
Hall made his statement to members of the press after
he had talked before a large assembly of Oregon dads gath
ered in Eugene for the traditional University of Oregon Dad's
day festivities this week end. i
"I really don't like the life," Hall said. "It's a tough
grind and interferes with your normal business and .family)
life,, but I do really feel that if I can be of service to the state,
I would be willing to run. I'm not
even sure I could be elected.
When questioned about filing
for his office. Hall chuckled and
said: "At least, as long as I hold
off filing, people keep wondering
what Hail's going to do. If I filed
now they'd start wondering about
the other fellows."
Ilepes tor Vete
Pausing here in the last lap of
a tour which- has taken him
through 20 Oregon counties. Hall
told his audience that he hoped
that voters in November's elec
tion would have a chance to vote
on a measure to apply 112,000,000
of the state's present $33,000,000
income tax surplus to higher ed
ucation needs.
Jin surveying the many needs
which have come with the state's
population Increase of 40 per cent
since 1940, it is necessary that
other branches of governmental
activity public schools, counties
and cities require their share
of state aid also," Hall declared.
Feints U Increase
Hall pointed out that enroll
ment in higher education has
Jumped 70 per cent from 9,000
to 17,000 since 1940, compared
to the 40 per cent population in
crease. Between 1930 and 1949,
the state appropriated only $100,
000 for higher education build
ings. Hall said.
If the $12,000,000 program Is
adopted, Hall said, allocations
will be decided by the state board
of higher education which has
tentatively . earmarked $1,800,000
for a new science building; $700,
000 for a. new business adminis
tration building: $100,000 for S
new heatinc Dlant and other re
pairs and additions on the Eugene
campus. The meaicai scnooi in
