Guy Gabrielson Claims Demos Soft with Reds - WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 -Hff-Republican National Chairman . Guy George Gabrielson accused the administration tonight of be Jng too soft with "communist at titudes" among officials here. He offered the criticism in a discussion of the recent statement Gabrielson, interviewed for broadcast by the Gannett News service, said: "In that (the policy statement) we condemn the failure of the ad ministration to recognize fully the danger of .this threat (of commun ism) to our security, we deplore the dangerous degree communists and fellow travelers have been employed in important govern ment positions, and the fact that Information vital to our security has been made available to alien agents and persons of questionable loyalty, and denounce the soft at titude of this administration to ward ' government employes and , officials who hold or support com munist attitudes." Gabrielson claimed the label of "liberal" for his "party and lumped the words "initiative, enterprise and freedom" in the GOP defini tion of liberalism. - "Concentrated government is not liberalism," Gabrielson said. - "It is the reverse of liberalism, - and the great undertaking of the republican party is to carry on the same liberal attitude that they have had since the party was organized."

Book on State Trees Grows In Popularity OREGON STATE COLLEGE An 80-page illustrated bulletin on "Trees to Know in Oregon" that already promises to become one of the most popular and widely dis tributed publications issued by Oregon State college has just been published cooperatively by the Or egon State college extension serv ice and , the Oregon state board of forestry. The booklet was written pri marily for boys and girls of Ore gon, and especially to serve lead ers and members of 4-H forestry clubs, but other young people and grownups as well are expected to be interested in it Written by Charles R. Ross, ex tension service farm forestry spe cialist, the booklet contains more than a hundred drawings and il lustrations by Hugh Hayes, civil engineer for the Oregon state board of forestry. "Every citizen of this state has a vital economic interest in the welfare of Oregon's great forest resources," the introduction says. "Every Oregonian farmer, la borer, business man, civil servant, housewife, and schoolby can well afford to take a longer and more appreciative look at the trees around him." "Trees to Know In Oregon" will give Oregonians that look, for it describes in simple, easily under standable language the character istics of trees found in Oregon s woods and forests. Illustrations show how to identify the differ ent trees and easily-read maps in dicate areas of the state where they grow. The introduction points to the increasing number of farmers add ing woodland crops to their other farming enterprises, improved uses through research for forest prod ucts and forest conservation as ac complishments in recent years. But it" adds that much remains to be done and that this book will en able everyone to become better acquainted with Oregon trees in a more personal way. Special sections are devoted to introduced trees, Oregon forest facts, the farm forest and the Keep Oregon Green program, which joined in providing funds for pub lication of the booklet Russ Hilterline Joins Rutgers School of Law Russell Hilterline, Eugene, who earned a doctor of jurisprudence degree at Willamette university last year, has been appointed to a. teaching position at Rutgers university school of law, in New Jersey, it was learned Sunday.

At Willamette he edited the Willamette series of legal hand books for 1948-49 and was an editorial staff member his junior year. He was affiliated with Phi Delta Phi, national legal fratern ity. His bachelor's degree was earned at University of Oregon. Hilterline is the second Willam ette law graduate in the past two years appointed to teach at well known law schools. Richard Wicks was named to the Univer sity of Southern California law staff in 1948.

"This sexual diversion talk is in the sanctimonious guise of morality . . . behind all this stands the Americans' shallow, trifling half -naked culture," Hilde Marchwitza wrote In Neues Deutschland, party organ. , "It is an attack on the young (east) German democratic repub lic, whose economic-foundation is the fulfillment and overfulfill ment of the two-year plan." Taft Attacks Middle-Income Housing Plan - By Marvin L. Arrowsmith WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 -i&h Senator Taft (R-Ohio) joined to day in the attack on President Truman's middle-income cooper ative housing program. He did so as senate sponsors of the plan re portedly were striving to work out a compromise. ' The United States Chamber of Commerce also voiced its opposi tion to the plan, saying that the proposed low interest rates would offer "unfair competition to pres ent lending institutions and the plan would be an inflationary fac tor increasing building costs. Loans te Cooperatives - T he administration program calls for $2,000,000,000 in govern ment-guaranteed loans to cooper- atives made up of families whose income ranges generally from S2,- 4uu to S4.700 a year. The bill has been under sharo fire by some members of the sen ate banking committee, which plans to vote on it Thursday. lait is not a member of the banking committee but his views regarding housing legislation car ry a lot of weight in the senate. Needs Revision He told a reporter the pending cooperative housing bill needs the kind, of revision suggested by the federal reserve board. This favors an FHA type of insured loan from banks. There is plenty of private cap ital available to help cooperatives,'' Tan said, adding that he is willing to have the government move to encourage such aid through FHA insurance. . .Senator May bank (D-SC), chief sponsor of the Truman program. said he is studying the federal re serve, boards recommendations and that he may go along , with some of them. There was no indi cation, though, that he is willing to scrap the idea of selling government-backed bonds to finance the cooperative project Elvina Halm, 62, Succumbs Elvina Hahn, a former resident of Brooks, died Saturday at a Se attle hospital.

Madsen Farm Editor, The Statesman One of the most important points in successful strawberry grow ing is having a well built-up soil at the time of planting. This state ment Is being made by Dr. R. E. Stephensen, professor of soils at Oregon State college, at the various strawberry meetings being held in the Willamette valley. Marion county's strawberry meeting has been set for the Mayflower hall on March 3. it The success of a strawberry Slanting depends a great deal on ow well the ground is prepared and built up before planting time, Dr. Stephensen, insists. The pre paratory soil treatment for straw berries usually involves the use of organic matter which is sup plied by applications of manure or crop refuse, or by plowing un der a cover crop. This provides fertility, maintains the physical properties of the soil, promotes the development of provisional soil organisms and increases the water holding capacity. Many soils in the Willamette valley are lacking in phosphate, Dr. Stevensen is pointing out He adds that' since phosphate be comes available to the plant gradually, he is suggesting that a three-year supply be incorpora ted in the soil at the time of planting. Up to 1,000 pounds of superphosphate, depending on the soil, placed in a band on each side of the strawberry plants, four to five inches deep, is a good method to use in getting the most good from the superphosphate Stephen sen adds. This method gives the plant access to the phosphate and leaves it in a position where it will not be mixed with the soil and be tied up chemically so that it will not be available to the plant Dr. Stephensen also points out that fruit buds for strawberries for one year are set in September and October of the preceding year, and it is important to have the strawberry plants in a good growing condition during these months if a fair crop is to be ex pected.

IhF Chaplain Says GIs In Reich too Young For Moral Hazards FRANKFURT, Germany, Feb. 19 -Jfy- Most American soldiers occupying Germany are too young for the moral hazards to which they are exposed, says Maj. Gen. Roy H. Parker, chief of U. S. army chaplains. "When I return to Washington I shall consider recommending that only men in their second enlistment period, or older, be as signed to duty in Germany," Gen. Parker was quoted as saying by the U. S. army newspaper Stars and Stripes. This, would eliminate teenagers, since an enlistment period is for three years.
