Telephone l-HAl. State Office Building in Portland State Treasurer Walter Pearson has taken a unique course to arrive at sentiment repectktg a location for the state office building in Port land. Bipartisanly, he is writing to precinct committeemen and women if both major parties residing in Portland to get their views on an east side or west side location. The returns he will get will reflect the personal wishes or business interests of his respondents. As judge he should merely admit the evidence "for what it is worth." ; But we would remind the treasurer that this is a state building i erected not just for the people of Portland but for all the people of the state. (Perhaps he should write letters td all precinct committee members over the state). It is not merely Portland residents who will call al the office of the fish commission or the wel ,fre commission or the state board of health, but people from Lane county, and Lake county and Tillamook. . We should like to repeat "for what it is worth" the opinion that the state building in Portland should be on the west, side. That is the center of business and offices and public buildings and . hotels. It Is the focus of travel for upstaters visiting Portland. It is the center of activity of Portlanders during business hours, regardless of which side of the river they live on. p ; The city planning commission recommendj I a west side selection. - y Why not end the discussion and pick the most convenient west side location that will fit in with Portland's own grouping of public build ings? . I trees for cutting, recommending replanting, and advising on marketing. j The estimatejof gross return to owners is over half-a-million dollars. As more farmers learn of the advisory service its aid will be sought even more. 1 j j -,r. In other sections of the country the farm woodlot is prized as aj source of fuel, of timbers for tools and buildings and of income from, sale. As time passes; timber will become a farmland crop in this valley too. . j ir Belgrano Stirs Legion Frank -N.'Belgrano, past national commander of the American Legion and president of the First National bank of Portland, departed from the usual run of convention oratory flag waving, organization-boasting and blah-blah 'spreading to condemn the "kingmakers Of the national Legion for the way they have been aU running the organization . . . into the ground, ays Belgrano. He accused the present official-, dom with squandering the Legion's funds, with .-failing to build up Its membership and with creating unnecessary and expensive committees as rewards to faithful lieutenants., , The address will create a stir in Legion circles all over the country, and will focus attention on the election of the next commander at the Boston convention in October. One of the al leged ''kingmakers" is Vic McKenzie, formerly of Salem, now public relations man for the dis tillers, who, is attending the Oregon conven tion. . . " I , When a man with Bel gr a no's prestige In the Legion and the business world speaks up his .words will be listened to and pondered; but It will take a real grass roots and upheaval to break the group that has long dictated affairs for the national Legfon. Mann Receives Goethe Award Thomas Mann, who left Germany to escape nazi tyranny and became an American citizen, returned to Weimar where he was awarded the Goethe Bicentennial prize. Weimar is in! the soviet zone so! the report of the award and of Mann's address comes through the soviet- lic ensed press. Mann is quoted as saying: -y iThe different and opposing social systems :of the Soviet Union and the UnitedStates seem to me unnecessarily an obstacle for peaceful co operation.' J r There are; certain similarities between the two peoples, such as the passion for technical progress. They also: have in common a f ener ous approach; to life, I therefore deem an un dertsanding between the two nations as by no means impossible.' ! i believe the danger (of another world war) will soon lose its menace." There would be no victors emerging from this future war . . . only survivors." ! One of the World's great thinkers and wri ters,, who early sensed the stifling of intellectual freedom on Hitler's rise to power, Mann's views are! entitled tpi respect We are confident how ever that he would find the intellectual oppres sion of the soviet system quite as offensive as that of Hitler; if by now less crude and violent. Goethe, whose bicentennial of birth is being celebrated this year was a man of cosmopolitan outlook whose last words were a pea for free dom. Mann is of that Same tradition of Ger man love of "Freiheit". It may be possible for the contrasting social and economic systems of Russia and the United States to exist side by side, as Mann believes. But it Is not possible to reconcile permanently closed and free systems of thinking. Dr. Mann would be first to admit that fact. The goal should be, if not "one world" in a . political sense, one world for the winds of thought to blow around, i PEP rt i . : . . j i t I fof tr'tf ttnarroa--wrey'ana sum eg.-" woot-- brass beds.

Mortgages have been lifted or reduced from the sale of timber on farm lands, whose value a few years ago was not considered when lands were appraised. To help , farmers With their tree crops the state board of forestry has a woodland assist ance division with Charles H. Ladd in charge. During the past year the division advised 691 forest products operators and 418 owners of : woodlands. Assistance is given by .marking W. L;. Josslin, state chairman of the democra tic; party, has endorsed Circuit Judge Earl C. Latourette of Oregon City for federal district judge. But the Portland Journal carries a pitcure of Monroe Sweetland, national commit teeman and backer of his old Oregon Common wealth Federation comrade, Gus Solomon, with William Boyle, Missouri politician set to succeed J: Howard McGrath as national chairman. : They are emerging from! Blair house after a confer ence with President Truman. Josslin will have to hurry to get his recommendation back there before Solomon's commission is signed. (Continued from page one) because the spade work has al ready been done by the lower echelons. The war plan calls for west ern Europe to furnish the ground troops to contain the aggressor (Russia). The United . States would use long range bombers and drop atom bombs on the enemy. The British and Trench fleets would keep the seas open and the VS. navy would con voy mn and supplies. The major armament to be shipped abroad would be ground '' weapons, rifles, mobile tanks, machine guns, etc. Some bomb ers and fighter craft would be supplied and light naval vessels for search and patrol. The billion and a half would only be the first instalment, with not even a venture as to when the last would come. Armed robbers waylaid Aga Khan and his wife and relieved themr of jewelry valued at around half a million dollars on a road near Cannes, France. .Robbery is robbery but; what business did they halve lugging around that much in gold and diamonds? As usual the press re port referred to Ag as "fabulously wealthy." What we have here is a dish which congress is really given no alternative to turn down. The direction is: Take it; the "or else not being supplied but in ferred as an invitation to USSR to move in when she is ready. Already pressures are applied: Having signed the treaty we must now implement it. We can't let Europe down again. Unless we supply arms western Europe is open. to invasion at Russia's will. It sums up to this: the execu tive makes foreign jfolicy, and leaves congress little alternative but to go along. The arms bill will pass after suffering amputa tions of matter and of money; but. many are not going to be happy about it Remember: the "Two Black Crows" who pre ceded Amos and Andy to fame, via phonograph records? The last j of them, George Moran, is dead. His partner, Charles E. Mack, was killed in an auto accident in 1934. West Exposes Soviet By J. M. Roberts Jr. " -' AP Foreign Affairs Analytt WASHINGTON, Aug 4-P)-The United States and Britain ; are i waging an intensive camp aign to snake everybody aware of Russia's political prison sys tem. ' Britain charges before the eco nomic and social council of the United Nations that 10,000,000 people are in Russian "slave la bor" camps. The United States proposes an investigation by an 1 l-man commission empowered to hold hearings anywhere in the world. The U. Si proposal is reported to go a bit farther than the Bri tish had anticipated, since there are: conditions in the democratic world which communists wU certainly use for counter-pro- , paganda. The American attitude is that there is no logical, com parison between - isolated situa , tions in the democratic sphere and the deliberate Russian sys tem. Russia takes the whole thing as an allied effort to get spies into Russia and will have no part of It So the whole discussion is expected to ,end in propaganda, Without action. The Russians admit and defend their system. It is as old as Rus- . sis andnot merely a communist innovation, though it has com munist embroidery. The com munists have said little to defend . it, apparently considering it a Erfectly normal way of protect K the state against its enemies.: '- .One important point on which the British put the finger is the economic aspects. It is significant that 'the M VD secret police organ ' Ration is not only charged with 'preserving the security of the state; but also with providing ;:.iass labor for Russia's indus trial expansion. In the present stage of Russian development, '.manpower still plays a big part of the role taken by machinery in western industrial systems. So much . so that in a country of 190.O00.d00 people, wi $i far less ; Industrial or agircultur al produc tion than the much r sailer Un- i ted. States, men, women and chil dren have to work almost unceas ingly, and the army has to ibe turned into the fields at harvest time. a 'I ' . : jm y .This probably accounts in part for the Russian system of de porting "politically irresponsible" .people from her satellites to the new industrial and agricultural developments beyond the Urals. Nicholae Radescu.; former prime minister of Romania, reports more than a million such deport ations from his country alone. There have been similar reports from other conquered areas, es pecially the Baltic states. The forced labor camps also are spreading throughout' the communist sphere in eastern System Our form of government is poorly planned for the handling of international policy matters. The senate has a veto on treat ies; but in critical times the president's decision has to be endorsed to preserve a showing of unity.

I think I know, but I c e r t a inly wouldn't swear to it. To the best of my knowl edge I am 30 miles from Bat hurst, Gambia, which is about miles from Dakar. came here McLrBtar with Mr. Mil lard J. Phillips of oacksonville, Fla., who is under contract to the English Colonial Develops ment corporation to build a id operate the world's biggest poultry farm. Here in the African bush country, almost as wild today as in Livingstone's time, Mr. Phillips is scheduled to run a farm which will send to Eng land '28,000.000 eggs and 1,000, 000 pounds of dressed poultry a year. Parliament i didn't like it a bit when the Colonial Develop ment corporation chose an American to head this huge pro ject. . Parliament liked it even less when Mr. Phillips ordered his hatching eggs (Rhode Island reds) from Middlesex, Mass., and his equipment, such as in cubators, tractors, etc., from the States. But Mr. Phillips Is a blunt man, and he said he would have no part of the scheme un less he could have the best. I asked Mr. Phillips what gave may have a modicum of psy chological effect on the people of western Europe; but unless it iS extended and increased it will have minimal value as a stopper for a Russia driving to the channel ports. Since it is so minimal I am of the opinion that we might better rely on moral force plus the commit ment embraced in the treaty that. we shall thwart force with force, if aggression starts. .That has been western Europe's sole defense since V-E day. and frolicsome hippos.--When night falls they want to get out of the water and start playing, and when they start playing, they can tear up five or ten acres of planted ground a night "There is no fencing the land In which we have planted com. soy beans, and things like that Not against'hippoc-anvway.

I ' U m If you have a weakness for baboons, then by aU means come to Yundum. There are more baboons here than there are electric light bulbs in New York. Unlike the hippos, they like to play in the daytime. The baboons here are friendly, and have nothing more than a nuis ance value. They wake you up in the morning with their ba boonish chatter. Some of them are almost as big as men, and stroll around the farm as if em ployed. They are dangerous only when one is shot and the hunter tries td take the dead or wounded animal away. Then the whole pack will attack the man. They want to take the hurt or dead baboon away themselves, either to nurse him or do whatever baboons do to dead baboons. I won't be here long enough . to meet a man I dearly would love to meet He is a natice chief, and lives about 50 miles from here.

They , are pri- ' marily prisons, whereas the Rus sian camps are both prisons and centers of labor recruiting. There have been many charges of brutality in the Russian camps. They have been compared with those of Hitler. In the main, from hundred!-of such reports, I get the impression that such brutal ity is usually the result of care lessness forhuman life, or poor organization and shortages of vi tal food and medical supplies, rather than deliberate.

One method of treatment for this condition is the giving of a drug known as neostigmine, which causes increased contrac tions of the muscles of the stom ach and bowel. - Recently, the disorder has been treated with substances known as resins. These resins, when taken into, the stomach, absorb and neutralize the stomach acid. They do not cause constipation or diarrhea, and have no effect on the amount of alkali in the blood and tissues. These 1 same substances 'have been used in the treatment of ulcer of the stomach and bowel. A number of pregnanat women with heartburn were given cap sules of the resins. Two capsules were taken at first and repeated in one hour, if necessary. It was found that not more than two doses were required to give re lief except in occasional in stances. As a rule, the patients reported that the burning sen sation in the pit of the stomach and around the heart disappear ed within 10 minutes after tak ing the resins. Furthermore, they remain free of other symptoms for a period of from seven to ten days. This type of treatment is easily carried out causes no re actions, and seems to be well worth trying. Of course, the resins should always be admin istered under the direction of a physician so that the dose can be properly controlled.
