AT news dispatches.
Drcline of the Logging Train
Three men lost their lives when a log train got out of control
on a down grade and the locomotive overturned on a curve. That
was near Vernonia. The news is significant partly because of its
rarity. In the first two decades of the century log train fatalities
were not uncommon." They are few now because only a small
proportion of logging is done by railroad. Caterpillar tractors
and trucks get the logs out of the woods. Many are loaded onto
rail equipment, but mostly on common carrier railroads.
The old-style logging railroad was built on faith and operated
on nerve. The load was generally for the downhill pull, with more
need for brakes than for power. The road twisted up mountain
sides, crossed heads of canyons on timber trestles. As little money
as possible was spent on maintenance. Operating trains on these
roads was perilous business and accidents, many of them fatal,
were not uncommon. Life used to be cheap in the big woods.
There was withal a fascination about these logging trains.
Their wood-fired engines labored to drag the empty lorries up
grade. They rocked and swayed on the down trip, trying to keep
ahead of score of loaded log trucks behind them. If the engine
went through a trestle or jumped the track at a curve the riders
at the rear could be quite certain the undertaker would be needed
rather than the doctor.
Logging is still a hazardous business. It accounts for most
of the fatal accidents in Oregon industry. And log trucking is
hazardous too its death toll may be as high as that of log trains in
the old days. But fatal accidents such as that reported from Ver
nonia are rare now. The one-busily chugging railroad locomotives
are rusting on brush-grown sidings, or long since have been
melted down for scrap. That phase in logging is now chiefly
history.
Amending the Corrupt Practice Act
The present corrupt practices act is as tight as a sieve. The
law is binding and inclusive. Only no one ever examines the
returns. The papers duly print the filings; and that ends it except
for incidental discussions. Just how much false swearing there is
o nexpense accounts there is no way of computing. But after the
campaigns there is a big mystery on how men can do so much
on a hundred dollars!
The law puts a limit on the amount a man can spend in his
own behalf, or his close relatives for him. Where there is compe
tition the amount permitted is hopelessly inadequate to do a job.
If funds are solicited as is often done the candidate may feel
beholden to his campaign contributors. If the law were changed
to pt-rmit him to bear the full cost then it would seem to put a
premium on ones buying an office. Either way leads to a bad
situation.
The proposal that candidates or campaign organizations re
port their receipts and expenditures a week befora the election
will effect no special cure. It may be evaded as have been the
present restrictions. The law applies In the case of candidates for
federal office without altering the spending or the giving very
much.
The most flagrant example of high-powered spending in late
yn-ais was the Julius Meier campaign for governor in 1930. Lots
of money was spent in that campaign, and the common assumption
wai that it came from the Meier coffers; but no Investigation
followed.
The corrupt practices law has many useful provisions, and
Is by no means a dead letter. But there is a lot of hypocrisy (or
perjury) in expense accounts. There just is no way of guarantee
ing by law "purity" in elections.
City Manager's Salary
We question the judgment of the city council in entering
the salary item for the city manager in the budget at $9,000, an
tncree of $1500. This rate of pay is higher than that of mem
ber! of the supreme court, the secretary of state, tha state treas
urer, the chief engineer of tha highway commission. It is more
than the salary of tha mayor of Portland or tha commissloneri.
It is greatly in excess of the salaries of city managers elsewhere
In the state and please don't bring up California.
Nor does the diversion of money from tha water fund to
meet this increase remove tha criticism. It is all city revenues
whether the money comes from the water users or the tax
payers. And it isn't good practice to dip into self-supporting divi
sions of government for payment of general bills. The tempta
tion is always great to get a free ride.
When the city sets a $0000 salary scale for its manager, other
salaries must be moved up In relation. If not this year, then
next. This item should be reviewed at the time of the final budget
hearing.
Drinking and the Monkey Cod
We bad our meatless Tuesdays and eggless Thursdays. Now
New Delhi, capital of IndiaJ la to have liquorless Tuesdays. Under
the pressure of the orthodox Hindus the city government has
adopted a law forbidding the serving of liquor on Tuesday. The
reason given is to show respect for the monkey god, Hanuman,
whose official day is Tuesday.
That's an idea. On one day out of the week the Indiana will
be denied the privilege of making monkeys out of themselves
through drink, and thus will honor the monkey god. Maybe we
should dig up a monkey god in the USA.
Oregonians can wipe the sweat off their brows, cold sweat
that is. They will not have to run the risk of getting Camp White
hospital saddled on to them by a vote based largely on emotional
appeal. A bill has been passed and signed requiring the veterans'
administration to take over and operate the hospital. It still is
poorly located; but at least the government can pay the bills for
Its upkeep and operation.
Once the city of Seattle took action daylight saving was a
push-over in most of the cities of Washington and Oregon. It
seems to meet with popular -approval. State legislatures should
legal i7e an annual shift in clocks to make the practice uniform
over the coast area.

MATTER
West Ponders Possible Action if Reds
Cut Supply Line to Berlin Zones
By Stewart Alsop
BERLIN, June 4 This is the
moment of relaxation of tension
in Europe, such as Europe and
the world briefly enjoyed in Jan
uary and February. The question
is wnetner tne
present slack
ening of tension
will end as the
last one did, in
something com-!
parable to the
Czech crisis and
the threat to
Scandina via.
That question is
likely to be an
swered here, in
this grim city. fewart Also? J
from which the - .
Soviets desire to expel the West
ern powers.
July is most often mentioned
here as the time of decision, when
all the preliminary Soviet push
ing and pressuring will mount to
some sort of climax. If the So
viets decide to go the whole hog,
they are expected to cut the food,
fuel and power supply lines of
the Western sectors of Berlin,
which run through their zone. It
is unthinkable for the British,
French and Americans to remain
here without providing the means
of life for hundreds of thousands
of Germans in their sectors of the
city. Therefore, if the Russians
go the whole hog, the Western
powers will have no choice ex
cept to get out, or to force the
Soviets to restore the supply lines
to operation.
No one is certain of Soviet in
tentions, but the worst is consid
ered quite likely to happen (as It
so often tends to do). Thus the
wisest choice to make in the cir
cumstances outlined above is a
topic of almost feverish discus
sion at all levels of the Western
command, from General Lucius D.
Clay and Sir Brian Robertson
downward. No policy has as yet
been adopted in advance; nor can
it be, until directives are secured
from London. Paris, and Washing
ton, since this is a matter involv
ing oeace or war. But it is possi
ble to say at least that if the So
viets end by deciding to go all the
way, the Western powers will re
spond with very great firmness.
Twe Responses
The responses, considered broad
ly, fall into two classes. The first,
which finds more advocates among
the French and British than among
the Americans, may be called the
response by all measures short
of war. Those who advocate this
course are chiefly influenced by
the total military unreadiness of
western Europe.
If this course is chosen, the
Western powers will leave Berlin
If their supply lines are cut, point-
Ins out to the Germans mean
while that the Soviets are using
German misery as an instrument
of policy. Simultaneously, the
Soviet Union will be forced out
of the United Nations for flagrant
breach of treaties and Internation
al agreements. Diplomatic con
nections between the Soviets and
the West will be largely severed.
Soviet and satellite ships will be
denied the use of Western ports.
Over-all, the Soviet Union and
sphere will be put In Coventry,
while a constant, vigilant guard
la posted all around It.
Defeat far Wees
Yet even those who advocate
this course (in itself not exactly
pacific) admit that evacuation of
Berlin would be a satastropbic
defeat for the West. With Berlin,
the traditional capital of Germany,
in their hands, the Soviets would
have the Ideal set-up for their
campaign to win Germany by
plugging revived German nation
alism. The old maxim Is much
quoted here: "Lose Berlin, and
you lose Germany; lose Germany
and you lose Europe; lose Europe
and you lose tbe world."
Quite aside from power politics,
there Is also the future of the
hundreds of thousands of . anti
communist Berliners to consider.
They .have shown courage. They
have .relied on Western promises
to remain in Berlin. Evacuation
of Berlin would instantly result
m thousands of the bravest of
them , being stood up against the
nearest wall and shot. Permitting
friends to be made examples of
m this manner, besides being mor
ally indefensible, has an unfor
tunately discouraging effect on
friends elsewhere.
?Jl
IT
By Lichtjr
OF FACT'
Therefore, many of those who
canvass the problem here in Ber
lin strongly favor something bold
er than mere condemnation of
the Soviet Union to a sort of
International Coventry. This
bolder course could take two
forms. Paratroopers could be dis
patched to re-open the supply
lines; trucks could be sent along
the Autobahn to Berlin with
; armed guards on board, ready to
fire. The Soviets could then
choose between shooting, or back
ing down with public humiliation.
Or more cannily, the Western
powers can dispatch an ultimatum
to Moscow, threatening the use of
force to re-open the supply lines
unless the Soviets have reversed
themselves by a specified date.
The objection to the first plan is
that it will make it hard for
the Soviets to back down; the ob
jection to the second is that an
i ultimatum which may prove to be
a bluff is always the height of
unwisdom. And while the British
and Americans might well join in
such an ultimatum, it seems Drob-
I able that the French would hold
back.
Most Nat Exaggerate Danger
Taking the situation over-all
one must not exaggerate the dan
ger the Soviets may not, after
all. go the whole hog. despite
present indications. On the other
hand, one is forced to the con
clusion that this is a time for
immediate resort to what Winston
Churchill has called "the process
es of diplomacy, with all their
secrecy and gravity." It Is stomach-turning
that there should be
a risk of catastrophe here. But
there is a risk. And diplomacy
is needed, both to assure com
plete unity of action among the
Western powers and to make cer
tain that the Soviets do not blun
der ahead simply because they
nave underestimated the probable
cost.
Optimists Hear
Criticism of
Penal System
John G. Kilpack. Portland. Vol
unteers of America representa
tive, sharply criticised America's
penal system as "man's Inhuman
ity to man" and a source of Juve
nile delinquency In a speech be
fore the Salem Optimist club Fri
day noon.
Kilpack, who now works with
prisoners and parolees of the
Oregon state penitentiary, said
our penal Institutions stand as
evidence that goodness In men
cannot be brought forth in dingy
and Inhumane conditions.
"Every man who goes to prison
is a new person," he stated. "It
is our Job to develop the good
in them and curb the evil- They
must be taught to feel the dif
ference between right and wrong
rather than know the difference."
Kilpack cited broken homes,
the social system and glorification
of crime in radio and movie
dramas as principal contributors
to Juvenile delinquency.
Science, strong spiritual lead
ership and intensive scientific re
search to determine the, causes
and methods to prevent crime
should be adopted to keep our
youth outside penal Institutions,
Kilpack stated.
Kilpack also voiced praise for
the Salem Optimist club and their
recently launched youth program.
