Too Early to .Judge ,-... i i
The day after President Truman signed the foreign aid ap
propriation bill throwing the European Recovery program Into
. high gear, the Corvalhs Gazette-Tiroes, which has been doubtful
all along about the Marshall plan, comments that ERP chickens
axe already coming, home to roost, lit bases its opinion on ERP
ships returning empty to UJS. ports becav se Marshall plan nations
are not producing sufficiently for export. The GT blames the
communists and, in this case, French political leaders.
The United States News and IWorld Report considers the
"same problem but creditsSuropeafl' "relief mentality" built up
? by lend-lease, UNRRA and other kid programs for a certain
; apathy when it cojnes to living;up to our expectations. Europeans,
! in turn, ftrgue that balancing budgets, stabilizing currencies and
reducing trade barriers cannot be hurried unduly.
t ' jt A 5 fJ : L - - A : i.
xt is unaersiarraaDie wnjr some Americans are unpsuem,
the payoff. Those who . grudgingly approved i the Marshall plan
don't want to go any farther. They're willing now to pass it off
as -charity to lazy, and rapacious foreigners. ; What they fail to
realize is that you can't be for the Marshall plan and against
reciprocal trade and against- the International Trade organiza
tion. Former assistant secretary of state! William. Clay ton makes,
that clear in -ah artid in the June United Nations World monthly.
Certainly the UJS. is wise to keep prodding slow-moving
Europeans to action and economic reforms. But this country can
not afford to neglect the three intfr-related facets of U.S. eco
jpomic foreign policy that seek to maintain prosperity here by
promoting world prosperity through freer trade.
Once the $4,000,000,000 start working, tangible results from
ERP and the reciprocal trade agreements can be expected com
paratively soon. The "lift" dollar aid has gren western Europe
is already evident. But total recovery (and restoration of world
trade is a long-term job. After all, trade has been interrupted
for eight years. 1
Trade restrictions in Europe resulting from financial insta
bility and scarcity .of goods probably hamper recovery more than
any hazy" relief psychology. American
prerequisite to the necessary financial
sential to the success of ERP because it stimulates the free trade
that encourages a stabilized economy.
If and when congress approves' the!
nations last April, this .organization, the long range, arm of world
trade cooberation. will be ready to go into effect in 1952. Its
members pledge to eliminate trade barriers. Eventually,
American ' farmer, industrialist and: workers stand to gain.
Meanwhile, the UJS. will probably need to continue its prem
ium payments on the three-way program of prosperity insurance.
And the Corvallis Gazettes-Times will just have to sit on its hands
until that shin cotres in.

the
Purchase of Alumina Plant
News of the purchase of the alumina plant by Solumbia
Metals, Inc., and of its early resumption of operations as a pro
ducer of fertilizer will be welcomed in; Salem. While the govern
- ment takes a big loss on the sale, the plant comes into practical
utility. It will provide employment toj many and furnish fertil
izer which is greatly needed by farmers of the northwest. That
Columbia Metals ha3 confidence bv the! operation is indicated not
only by its investment in the plant but ;in its consideration of fur
ther investment In an ammonia plants
The origial idea was the construction of a pilot plant to test
a process of reducing alumina ore from clay. Before the plant
could be completed the turn of events' in the war insured ample
. supply of bauxite and the plant was given only few test runs
in alumina-making. Fortunately the making of ammonium sul
phate was an intermediate step in the ilumina process. So it was
possible to utilize a large part of the installation in malting this
product. J
The need for fertilizer is growing steadily. Farmers find i
profitable both in orchards and in field crops. The state college
at Corvallis has been very cooperaiivejiin keeping the local plant
busy to turn out fertilizer for consumption in this area. Finally
this spring the plant had to close because, suppliers of ammonia
shut off shipments. It took an act of jcongress to obtain release
ol ammonia produced in government j plants. When this source
starts delivery the plant can resume production.
The Salem Chamber of Commerce was active in getting the
plant located here initially' and has continued to foster it.. It is
gratifying to know that all past efforts have not been in vain,
and that the new owners plan to keep the plant in production.
Reinterment of McLouchlin Remains
- - ' The sale of the downtown property of the Catholic church
in Oregon City made necessary the ! removal of the bodies of
Dr. and Mrs." John McLoughlin which were interred in ground
later covered by the church. Marble markers at the corner of the
building where it butts on McLoughlin boulevard have indi
eated their burial places. ' ; ;
NThe first exhumation was made, reverently, under the direc
tion of a priest. Burial had been' made in a zinc-lined, glass
topped heavy wooden casket. The latter crumbled when exposed
to air and light. The bones of the great Hudson' Bay. factor and
commonly designated first Governor Of Oregon were well pro
served. The remains of Dr. McLoughlin and his wife will be rein
terred at the new church property on jthe bench above the busi
'jness section and high above the river, j (.. i . I
i While there is understandable regret over disturbing : the J
1 graves, of these worthy persons, perhaps their new resting-place
will draw more visitors' to stand in silent tribute. Their old House
. -sawas moved from downtown to a place on the hill; ;and fheir
c remains will still be in ground doubly consecrated, by the church
and by history as part of the Oregon City which the .good doctor
helped to f ound, where he passed through many trials and where
' finally he died. K; I '!: f i! . 7 . - H. "

Casts Gloom
Over Demos
By Joseph and Stewart AlsaA
WASHINGTON, June 30 The
glum resignation of the leading
democrats has to be. seen! to I be
believed. In the M-iWM, v,,4-
nappy isoiauon w
of ihe White:
House, 'President
ported to retain
his usual chirpy '
optimism. Some- ?.
thing, he tells his I .
callers, will turns
up, and theft fi
dwells I lovingly J -on
thei series ofL-i -
unlikely chances Joseph Aliiop f
by, which he -s
reached his present eminence. But
the republican ticket of Dewey
and 'Warren has plunged the
democratic party bosses, their
labor allies, the democratic lead
ers in congress
hnd even some
mong the presi-
I dent's personal
advisers, into a
state of -dreadful
iloom.
The truth! is
ithat ' the delno-
Irratic" leadership
Iias been prepar
ed for Dewey or
he e a u ivalent.
g Stewart Akop 3ut they had al-.r-.amTt
.sup posed
that if a modern-minded republi
can headed the ticket, he would
be balanced by some one like
House ! ' Majority Leader Charles
Halleck or Sen. John W. Bricker,
who would be open to easy! at
tack, f .
" Furthermore, by nominating
Dewey and Warren, the republi
cans (deprived the democratic
. leadership of what had always
been- their only- real hope. This
was-that an Isolationist-conservative
republican choice the nomination,-
say, of Speaker Jose&h
W. Martin could be made I the
pretext for a movement to draft
Gen. Dwight D.. Eisenhower as the
democratic standard bearer. The
strongest advocates of drafting
Eisenhower, like Franklin j D.
Roosevelt, jr., now accept the fact
that this project baa become Im
practical.
Would Crystalize Foes
a gooo many or them even
nope mat iasenhower will some
how reiterate his earlier state
ment taking himself 'out of the
presidential race. They want 3 this
to happen so that the opposition
to Truman may crystalize more
readily around, some other candi
date, such as Justice William O.
Douglas. -
we Detung, or course. Is ; ap
proximately 99. to .1 that Presi
dent Truman will be re-nominated
at Philadelphia, despite ithi
widespread desire to make a; real
showing with. Douglas or some
one like him.. Working .for Tru
man's re-norhlnation are . two
oddly selected political agents,
Oscar Chapman, the tmder secre
tary of the Interior, and his old
coprt-jester, that expert mixer of
business and politics, George
Allen,
Just now and when Allen ; was
re-admitted to White House' favor
is not precisely known. His-, re
admission Is all -the stranger in
view of the fact that he has been
talking around Washington of
"Eisenhower in -1952, which! im
plies ; acknowledgement of Tru
man's .Inevitable defeat.
Happy Time Unlikely
In any case, jAllen and Chap
man, 'much more than the demo
cratic chairman. Sen. J. Howard
McGrath, have been the Truman
contact men with the organiza
tions i in the country. And they
are very confident they have ev
erything sewed up in advance.
Yet the virtual' certainty- of
President Truman's re-nomination
does not mean that the president
has a very happy time ahead of
him. Jn the first place, it is still
probable that the great-northern
democratic satraps, like Ed Flynn
of the Bronx and Jake Arvey ef
Chicago, will tell the president
plainly some time prior to ihe
convention that his defeat 1 in
evitable. It is also probable I that
they will suggest Truman's re-
Uirement for the good of the party.
If this occurs, Truman is, expected--
to make his usual reply,
that he is "not a-auitter." In this
esse i the northern leaders, with
the possible exception of the J Chi
cago I organization, are pretty! cer
tain ito" do nothing further; Yet
the experience will hardly be en
joyable for the beleaguered pres
ident, i - ; ,7v,. - ..' .. ! '
Attack on Two Flanks
1 As for the convention itself.
lfessrs. Chapman, Allen and Mc
Grath will have to step pretty
Uve.lysato prevent It from being
one' long horror. The attack on
Truman will come both from the
democratic party's Left n d
Right. 1 The ' southerners of the
Right have Snore or less agreed
to accept the party's 1944 f civil
rights plank, but are now insist
ing on qualifying it with a states'
rights plank. This will throw the
fat into the fire In the platform
committee.
The southerners are also plan
ning to Dominate such men -as
Harry T. Byrd of Virginia. Wal
ter George of Georgia and! Gov.
J. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina as their section's favor
ite sons. In short, the purpose of
the southern 'democrats is still to
give the president -the maximum
of trouble. ; - ,
As for the left-wing, democrats.
the -labor groups and such organi
sations as the Americans for Dem
ocratic Action have lately ! been
working to get what is called an
"open convention. Most of those
making the fight, like Leon Hen
derson, nave .been comparative
amateurs In practical politics.
Delegates Uninstrncled
Yet President Truman, and his
agents have only - been able to
obtain advance cmmitmerits from

County School
Post Vacancies
Still Unfilled
No applications for vacancies In
the Marion county rural school
supervisors staff were copsidered
at a -meeting Wednesday of the
county educational board.
Mrs. Agnes Boom, board chair
man, said that no applications had
been received. She added, how
ever, that the board would meet
again soon and in the meantime an
attempt would be made te contact
potential applicants.
The vacancies were caused by
the recent resignation of Mrs. Car
melite Weddle and Mrs. Vivian
Hoenig, rural school supervisors.
They resigned because the county
budget committee ; did not meet
their requests for wage increases.

Newbry Advises
Fourth of July
Holiday Drivers
Drive carefully over the Fourth
of July week end holiday. Secretary-
of State Earl T. Newbry
warns. :
Newbry predicted that the
Fourth of July week end travel
would be the heaviest in the state's
history. His advice:
L Start the trip a little earlier
so you won't be tempted to speed.
2. Don't drink and drive.
3. Don't cut in and out of heavy
traffic.
4. Stay in line until passing is
safe.
5. Don't think the week end is
over because you arc on tho way
home.
6. Drive as if your life depended
on it. It does.
n
(Continued from page 1)
makes provision for treatment of
overages or under-payments; and
section five provides that if county
payments to the state shall prove
less than sufficient to meet its
share "payments in full of such as
sistance'' to the , person entitled
thereto shall nevertheless be mado
from funds of the federal govern
ment and of the ' state of Oregon
available for that purpose." Of
course if all the counties sliced
their payments the state' fund
would be exhausted. . -
This situation is intolerable and
some solution must be found.
Either the state win have to take
over the whole assistance program
or else it will have to come to
working terms with" the counties.
The state is chiefly responsible for
stirring up the ruckus. During the
time of JElmer Goody as adminis
trator, when conditions were mora
critical in the field of public wel
fare, harmonious relations obtain
ed between the state and the
counties. The bugaboo of "uni
formity" wasnft used as a club and
no protests over lack of uniform
ity in welfare payments came from
the federal agency. The trouble
began when political pressures' for
boosting .old age. assistance pay
ments were applied.
The J47 law is not the final
answer. . Prospective legislators
Should begin ploughing furrows in
their brows because the problem of
administration of public welfare
will call for heavy thinking;
S04 of the 1,234 convention dele
gates. The rest are tminstracted.
It is the present intention of
the fighters for an "open conven
tion" to pace . Justice Douglas
name in nomination. They are
hoping that a rather substantial
protest vote against Truman wQ
rally around Douglas. Douglas
himself is Incommunicado in Ore
gon and seems tcalikelj to call a
halt to this effort tn his behalf.
of which he was informed by
friends before he left Washing
ton. Altogether. aithouxh the
president may expect to receive
his party s invitation to the bail,
he must- -also expect the invita
tion to be preferred with almost
unparalleled rudeness.
