Coming: Portland Symphony
Symphony orchestras command steadily grow
ing audiences. Radio has contributed greatly to
this growth because it brings orchestral per
formances right into the homes of the people.
But an orchestra has other appeal than just to
the ear. The scene of a concert itself brings a
thrill: The orchestra as it assembles, tunes its
ilftruments and plays; the audience aa it gathers
and chajs and then sits in awed hush to drink in
the melody; the conductor, with his varied ges
tures, as he weaves from varied instruments the
marvelous tapestry of sound which makes up a
symphony. To all lovers of music a symphony
concert well performed is genuine ecstasy; and
those with no special taste for music generally
get a great emotional lift out of orchestra mu
sic. This year Salem folk will have an opportunity
to hear and to see one of the country's fine or
chestras, the Portland Symphony, in a series of
three concerts right at home. The first is next
Tuesday night at the high school auditorium.
Portland Symphony was revived after the war
with Mr. Werner Janssen, conductor. Under his
able direction (one cannot say baton, for he uses
none) the orchestra has gained recognition as a
really superior organization. Critics and visiting
artists have been loud in their prase of how
Janssen and his musicians interpret great musi
cal works. Janssen is not only distinguished for
his fine musicianship but for his sincerity and
his modesty. He pours himself into the music,
not the orchestra into showmanship for himself.
Attending the concerts to be given here is no
civic duty but a rich privilege. Salem folk
.should seize this opportunity and the ticket
range brings the concerts within reach of all.
and ajso to acquire Washington Water Power
and Pacific Light Sc Power properties in Wash
ington state.
According to a story in the New York Times,
the package price for the three would be about
$200,000,000 $120,000,000 for Puget Sound,
$80,000,000 for WWP and PP&L. Puget Sound
owners admittedly are ready to sell they see
no future in competition with tax-free power
systems. Local officers of WWP and PPAtL. are
said to be strongly opposed to selling but the
no future in competition with tax-free power ay
companies are part of the American Power
T.itfht iritenu. a holding company under "death
sentence." Its plan of reorganization calls for dis
posal of these operating units. The Times quotes
American s president, Howard I. Alter, as say
ing that an $80,000,000 offer might be consider
ed. Oregon would have concern over the sale of
the PP&L because the latter has extensive oper
ations across this state. Presumably these would
remain in private ownership, but what about its
dams over in Washington which provide it with
much of its electric energy? Also, since public
bodies get first call on federal power, is there a
chance for a squeeze on Oregon if all Washing
ton goes for public ownership?
Of course the deala aren't made yet; but My
ers is a persistent fellow, and his percentage on
a deal like that runs to a pretty penny. The late
election gives no comfort for supporters of pri
vate enterprise; so owners may be ready to sell
for a price, which doesn't worry Myers.

Crime Compounded
Police in San Francisco believe they have
solved the murder of Nick DeJohn, a one-time
Al Capone confederate who transferred to Cali
fornia. And they believe it links up with a rack
et being worked in the abortion business. This
business itself is illegal, but the racketeers were
shaking it down for $2500 a month. DeJohn got
his when there was a falling out among the
racketeers.
Certainly a tarry, sordid tale. One operator
of an abortion mill, wife of a former assembly
man in California, is serving a penitentiary sen
tence, and other such establishments have been
raided by police. What they find is a network in
which the abortionists are shaken down in the
customary racketeer manner, which results in
crime compounded.
Society must revise and revamp its police or
ganization. It must be prepared to ferret out and
stamp out the overlords of vice whose entranch
ed power in some cities challenges that of gov
ernment. Sporadic roundups are not enough.
Policing in this area must be continuous. Prob
acy it would be well to tunvstate police to work
n this field, lifting it out of the embarrassments
f local politics.
If we do not bust the rackets eventually they
will eat our insides out, like a cancer.
The new traffic light at 12th and Mission
streets will be a welcome development. It will
aid In orderly travel at an increasingly-busy
intersection, but primarily it will reduce the
chance of injury or death to hundreds of Bush
school children. School officials and the student
patrol have cooperated admirably in keeping
down the accident rate thus far. It is high time
they were given this new aid.

King George VI of Great Britain is reported
suffering from bad circulation in his legs. In fact
it is said that he will have to stop a lot of the
running around he has been doing. Since that ia
a principal part of the royal duties he will
doubtless feel greatly relieved. Now if he can
cultivate a bad digestion he may escape many of
the formal banquets. His brother Eddie's trouble
wasn't with his legs; it was staying on his horse.
There won't be much sympathy for the man
who was given a fine working-over by the stu
dents of an English school to which he was try
ing to sell whipping canes. The canes sound too
drastic at their best, but in any event their mar
ket should be in the homes, not the schools.
Washington for PUDs ?
Guy C. MyerS, who worked the financial
deals which converted Nebraska into a public
ownership state for electric power, is trying to
complete a similar performance for Washington.
He has already sewed up deals with PUDs for
acquisition of parts of Puget Sound Light &
Power Co., but failed through court decision in
his scheme to take oyer all of the company and
parcel it out among PUDs and the city of Seattle.
He has revived his efforts to transfer all of this
company's power properties to public ownership
The Oregon progressive party spent over $40,
000 in its late campaign. That puts them up in
the republican class and must make the demo
crats who ran their campaign on a short shoe
string snicker because it brought no success to
progressives. One wonders where the progres
sives got all this money the national party was
well financed too. Anyway it was a well heeled
flop.
Many of the towns are staging Santa Claus
visits. From here on youngsters will be kept
bug-eyed over stuffy men in red suits and white
whiskers. We shouldn't spoof at the Santa Claus
myth. After all the voters demonstrated again
they .want to keep him alive, in Washington.
The barometer this fall has had the jitters,
shooting up, dropping down quite abruptly
just like the New York stock market with
emphasis on the down.

economic determinism. Lenin
called religion the opiate of the
people. There is a fundamental
clash between the principles of
Christianity and. those of com
munism.
On the other hand. Christian
missions do more than evange
lize. They have schools, hos
pitals, centers of instruction in
agriculture. Even the Chinese
communist leaders can see the
value of these services. Accord
ing to a dispatch from Canton
from Albert Ravenholt, corre
spondent of the Chicago Daily
Wews, the communists are per
mitting missionaries to remain
and carry on their work. At
Tainan, which the reds captur
ed in September, English and
Americans working in Cheloo
university and hospital have not
been molested. It will not be
easy, but missionaries probably
will attempt to carry on if it
seems at all possible.
For years the conversion of
China has been the great pro
ject of Christian churches. The
winning of China with its 400,-
000,000 inhabitants has fired the
zeal of hundreds of churchmen,
"student volunteers" and laymen
willing to finance the mission
ary enterprise. Much has been
accomplished, measured not by
the number of converts at best
a mere handful among China's
huge population but by the
impact of Christian teaching and
social ministry, and the conver
sion of many of China's great
leaders. Retreat or denial of
opportunity to carry on this
work of Christian missions will
be a sad blow to the hopes of
many who have invested lives
or money in the missionary en
terprise. Admittedly a point of
crisis has been reached. The
way it turns will have a pro-

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 28-4P)
-The CIO convention, just end
ed, was held in an atmosphere of
crackling drama. There were
some good laughs, too.
-One of the laughs:
President Phil Murray, at a
banquet, was handing out bou
quets to his lieutenants. With the
earnest intention of giving high
praise to Allan Haywood, the
CIO's organization director,
Murray caxne- up with this
beauty:
"The public doesn't often see
the work that Allan does. But
- - he- - he works - - like a Tro
jan horse!"
Mike Quill, of the transport
workers, was addressing til
convention when he had a slip
of the tongue.
He said: "When we came back
to America from Boston ..."
The delegates howled, and
screamed. It was some time be-
irc cwua iinun we sentence.
The CIO will long remember
some of the phrases uttered here.
From President Murray, like
whiplashes, e a m e "ideological
tfivebombers ... take a swipe
at Joe (Stalin) . . . this floor
fight is part of the cold war."
From George Ealdanzi, of the
textile workers: "We don't have
raids ia the CIO. We have re
volts of workers against com
jjvinist domination."
'rora Walter Reuther, of the
auto workers: "Either" get clear
into the CIO or get clear out."
From Albert Fitzgerald, of the
Electrical Workers: "I don't give
a damn for Russia. I think Vish
insky and Molotoy hive enga
ged themselves in saber-rattling
and war-mongering." ?
The delegates held their breath
when Fitzgerald said that. Some
of the other leaders of his un
ion would never have said it un
der any circumstances.
There was an electronic agita
tion in the hall, too, when Mur
ray first began smashing away
at the communist party on the
opening day.
All around you people were
clucking in amazement Grunts.
Guffaws. Mounting cries of
"pour it on." This was what most
of them had been waiting for.
Murray had withheld such at
tacks at previous conventions in
the interest of CIO unity.
This was the convention when
lots of people took a Swat at a
man who wasn't there, Henry
Wi"-e.
Mike Quill was telling why he
didii t support Wallace.
"It was a question not only
was I a man or a mouse, but was
I a man or a louse. I decided not
to be a louse." '
One of the busiest men of all
was young Arthur Goldberg, the
CIO's new general counsel, who
replaced Lee Pressman. Goldberg
almost didn't get to the conven
tion. Shortly before leaving his GRIN AND BEAR IT
home in Chicago, he put on the
boxing gloves with his seven-year-old
son. Junior shot a hard
right It broke daddy's glasses
and cut his face.
e
The convention was held in
Portland's Masonic temple. High
along the wall was a carved in
scription: "Through days of labor and
nights of rest may the love of
Allah make you blest So - -1
touch my heart as the easterners
do --may the peace of Allah
abide with you."
A few fast glimpses:
Reuther's right arm in a metal
brace and sling, as a result of his
shooting in Detroit last April . . .
The pointed beard of Jacob Pot
ofsky, of the clothing workers
. . . the long ovation for Su
preme Court Justice William O.
Douglas . . . The frenzied dem
onstration when Murray was
nominated for re-election . . .
Some serious guide-posts to the
future of labor-management re
lations were almost overlooked in
the general excitement
For example, the CIO voted to
urge all its unions to "embark
immediately" on 'a vigorous
campaign to get more welfare
benefits in their contracts. And
President Murray said:
"We must make pensions and
social insurance an issue in each
collective bargaining conference."
