Can you squeeze blood from a turnip? Is .there any honey

stones? How many swallows make a summer? ;
The questions addressed to industrial research engineers
may not be phrased in just those terms, but they ; might as well
be. The scientists engaged in applied research make a business
of disproving old notions, pushing past heretofore Insourmount
able barriers and finding things that no oneiknefr was there.
- They are explorers into the uncharted fields that may lie
under every, stone left unturned. ; 1
And there are probably more unturned stones;! in the west
than in any part of the country. The fields of ndustry and
agriculture here must inspire in the industrial researcher the
same feelings . a New England pasture communicates to the
"farmer. The west's recent unprecedented growth justified no.
demanded. . .establishment of a research center here.
That is why the brochure just released by the Stanford Re
search institute is of particular interest. The Stanford institute
Is a non-profit "corporation, jointly supported by the university
and western industry, located on the Palo Alto campus with
access to all university facilities. After 18 months lof operation,
the west's only independent applied research center has grown
to 125 staff members engaged in research and development ac
tivities in 22 fields of science and industrial economics
The institute was established to foster the application of
science to commerce, trade, industry and agriculture in the el
even western states. It is particularly concerned with indus
trialization of the west and with the discovery and develop
ment of methods for the best use of natural resources. Its broad
objective Is the improvement of the general standard of living.
The Stanford institute undertakes on its own account re
search work intended to be of broad public benefit and it works
on specif ic problems assigned Ijy industry or the government. Its
facilities are available to large and small enterprises alike. It
will consider any sound applied research problem-4-for instance,
finding new uses for forest or petroleum products or better
methods of preserving foodstuffs, and so on.
The report of the Stanford institute's work-in-jprogress por
tends its continued existence as a significant new; force in the
west.

Second Airplane Tragedy
A second airplane crash in southern Oregon has claimed the
lives of four men active in community and political life in this
state. Two, John Snellstrom of Eugene and I Earle Johnson of
Corvallis, were 'members of the 'last legislature and Snellstrom
had served in two previous sessions. Both were candidates -for
reelection. "The other two, William H. Fluhrer, Mfdford bakery
proprietor, and H. H. Evans of Waldport, were Candidates for
legislative positions, the former for the state senate, the latter
for the house. All were republicans. The midsummer outing for
a group of legislators and candidates at a lake resort. had a
tragic ending. f
The accident is in close parallel to that of last October when
three state' officials lost their lives: Governor Snell, Secretary
of State Farrell, President of the Senate Cornett. Again it points
up the hazards of aviation. Singularly, thdugh the pilot in this
Instance was not only experienced in flying his private plane.
He had flown for the air force in many parts of the world, at
taining the rank of lieutenant coloneL Just what the failure
was when bis plane plunged into the lake may never be known.
News such as this leaves one stunned, with a feeling o:
helplessness. In the space of seconds life Q snuffed out, there is
no chance of rescue and relief. One thinkrf of these men as able.
In the full tide of their careers, recognized by fellow citizens,
honored and respected in the affairs of state. Nowf they are gone
and all we can do is to lay them to rest and pay respectful tri
bute to their memory- I

Some of Mrs. Smith's recent

today have already been too

with disloyalty to her country.
Against me advice ox the navr
legal officer, Mrs. Smith, a wom

iately demanded a hearing be
fore the loyalty board of the
15th naval district. The trans
cript of this hearing is a dis
tinctly disturbing document. It Is
not that the navy officers and
other officials concerned were
brutal, gestapo-minded men. They
were nothing of the sort. The
evidence suggests that they were
merely stupid.
What is disturbing is that the
hearing was quite obviously en
tirely meaningless. It was held

Travel editors write glowingly about the trips other people
take, or might take. Sports, editors write glowingly about the
sports other people engage in. But this -year these working
craftsmen of the fourth estate, some of them, are sharing in the
pleasures they report. A few weeks ago a delegation of travel
editors 'from the country's leading newspapers made a tour
which included many cities in Oregon. Over the weekend sports
writers from several eastern papers came into the Deschutes
country by plane to enjoy a few days' fishing at resorts in that
region. One thing sure... both groups will have something to
write about after their Oregon visit. 1
The Newport News scolds the state, statute which makes it
a criminal offense to sell or furnish liquor to Indians or those
of mixed blood who live or associate with Indians! Editor Sweet
land brands this as unjust racial discrimination, ft is discrimin-
aton, based, of course, on the tradition that firewater was bad
medicine for Indians, worse for them than for whites. Of course
it was the whites who wrote the laws. However, Sweetland
should aim higher. The federal law is the same; and most every
term of federal court is cluttered with cases against those ac
cused of selling hootch to the Indians. I - I

Oregon employment is in full tide. On August 1 only 23,400
persons in the state were listed as. out of workf We grouse a
lot about the high cost of living, but truth ? to tell most people
live pretty well, enjoy a standard of livings the . highest in the
worlds The real time to worry is when the rolls lof unemployed
keep growing and prices fall and fall and fall, with "no bottom."

The Statesman thinks Governor Hall made a f"tke in fail
ing to include on the new draft board men from; other parts of
the Marion county than the Salem area. All appointees are from
Salem. It is not just a matter of fairness to the mt of the coun
ty but a matter of-success in administering the draft law. Many
cases will arise from out in the country where mistakes may be
made because no board member is familiar with local facts.
W. H. Fluhrer, nominee for the state senate who died in the
plane crash Sunday, was a frequent target for the pointed para
graphs of the late Art Perry of the Medford MaU-Tribune. To
Art he was Heinie, the demon baker, with a screwdriver for

signedly accepted their fate. The
spunky Mrs. Smith did not. She
had already written to her con

Douglas, describing the circum

assurances of Mrs. Smith's loyal

Mrs. Smith cut short her honey

and Porter, accepting the case

It - is not known why Mrs.

views made her suspect. Per
haps it was a case of tytfcfn

no less than 41 out of the first
