Telephone X-X44L udium for Willamette ; " At the Wiiumeiuj-WuiUuaa basketball gams Friday night loud applause, cheers and hand claps, greeted the announcement 1 President Smith that the university would have a stadium at its new athletic lielxi by next fall. Action authorizing construction was taken by the trus tees at their alternoon meeting. The stadium' will be called the Charles . McCulloch stadium. The designation is most appropriate! Mr. Mc Culloch, an attorney in Portland, has been a principal donor of Xunds lor the stadium and as , chairman of the board of trustees has been ever? -zealous in promoting the interests of the uni versity. He sees in Willamette a fine type of educational institution, under Christian aus pices, training youth to enter life well prepared. Thus he is a worthy successor of the founding fathers of Willamette and of its benefactors through the years who were inspired bjra simi lar ideal of service to young men and women. -Willamette has attained real stature in the educational world. Its principal unit is the col lege of liberal arts. Others are the college of law and the college of music. Each division is turning out students who 'are proving them selvef as they go on to graduate work or. enter" .Vocations. ; , Since the war the faculty har been greatly changed. Older members have retired under the university's retirement program and younger instructors and professors have come in. They are fitting in well in the life of the university and the community and as they mature they will contribute much to the university's level of scholarship. .- ' With the erection of the stadium the univer sity will have completed a large program of ex pansion of its physical facilities. In the last doz en years it has built a new library, new science . hall, a new men's dormitory, and reconstructed buildings for the law school, music school, in firmary and band room, and president's house. On the next "order list" are an auditorium and chapel and a girls' dormitory. WJh the university enrollment stabilizing at around 1000 students these additions will pro vide an adequate and substantial plant for the university. President Smith has proved an able leader; and the university goes forward "from strength to strength." Genocide in the Baltic In a special article for .the Statesman Friday on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Es tenia's independence, a local Estonian refugee tells of the Russian occupation of his homeland and concluded, "now it depends only on the conscience of the world as to how long the world allows such an iniquity. Speaking in congress, Representative Flood of Pennsylvania last week also appealed to the conscience f the world- His remarks were'in observance of the 32nd anniversary ol Lithu ania's independence, celebrated (but not in Russian-occupied Lithuania) this month. : The United States cannot in good conscience Ignore the plight of the three little Baltic states, Flood said. He asked congress to ratify forth with; the United Nations' genocide convention to make the systematic killing -off of large groups ol people an international crime. If the mass murder in these countries Isn't halted, the Baltpthere will be completely wiped out just as the Jews in Germany would all have been liquidated. . . Lithuania had a population of 3,000,000. Be tween 1941 and 1948, the Nazis has disposed of 100,000 and the Russians were responsible for the deaths of 520,000. By planned starvation. Freshman Congressman Sets Pace for Honesty -j I By Stewart Alee WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S It is a rare experience these days an therefore a rather moving one to come upon honesty,! Intelligence and real courage nuuuiwui i is perhaps par ticularly rare to ' come upon these v cmalitic in i the United States House of. - Rep r esenta-l tives, on the whole not the . frwt a - most -inspiring branch of American government. Yet all three of these qualities arSv be found in the person of ' a teYiain obscure freshman rep resentative, one- Abraham A. Kibkoff. There is no special distinction In Ribicoff appearance or man ner. He looks like- what he Is a rising young lawyer - politi Tcian, intelligent, ambitious, per sonable, complete with neatly tailored double breasted blue suit and a city - bred pallor. His manner reflects the rather auto matic affability which most po liticians instinctively adopt ear ly' in their careers as a kind of protective coloration. : ' . Yet Ribicoff has written three ' communications for the edifica tion of his constituents, which a ; well qualified observer has called "the ablest, the most cour ageous and the most literate public statements I have seen from any member of congress in ten years." 1 .iRibicoffs personal history is , a j first - generation American success story in a minor key. The Jewish - Polish immigrants who settled in a small Connec ticut manufacturing town; the ambitious son working his way through law school;- the success ful law practice in Hartford; the .wtfehe neat house in the sub urbs, the regulation two child ren; a peculiarly American story sterilization, kidnapping of children, systematic disruption of family life, and the slow death of slave labor camps, the crime continues. Able-. bodied men are drafted for the Red army; wom en are forced into labor, battalions; children are taken from parents and shipped to Russia for communist indoctrination. Lithuanians are de ported from their native land by the thousands every month and masses of Russians and Asia tics are brought in to settle in Lithuania. , The only opposition against this iniquity for such it is is the VLIK, the underground. Guer rilla warfare against, the intruders began when the Nazis took over and continues to harrass the communists. The Lithuanians, with a 700-year history of fighting for freedom from the Mon gols, Tartars, Germans and Russians, art still fighting. But their numbers decrease for, like the anti-communist forces in almost every sat ellite except Yugoslavia (where Tito has U. S. aid), they fight alone. They fight alone because all the U. S. offers them is the moral support of ratification of the genocide convention, our good will and best wishessmall comfort to individuals who daily risk death on behalf our common cause. Other than moral support, what can the champion of freedom lend the forces of freedom, the brave little resistance movements? To send the anti - communist partisans all over the world material aid would involve tremendous costs, Russian ire, opposition at home and other overwhelming complications. Yet, we must face the tact that if and when the battle is joined, the anti-red underground will become very important to us. Meanwhile, we can only hope they survive until we need them. Lumber and Grabmeat Congressman Russell Mack of Washington is Out to protect home industry. He painted a drab picture for lumbering in the face of Canadian imports. And he (00 cases of Russian crabs at Seattle. Said he: This crab meat was caught by Russians in Russia waters, by Russian workers and waa canned by Russian workers. IX the importations continue, and there is every reason to believe they will continue under our free trade prac tices, our Pacific coast crab industry wul be -knocked into a cocked hat." "American crab fishermen cannot compete with the low wages and the low standard of , living of Russia. The state department should act at once to stop this dumping of Russian . crab meat on the American market," y We refuse to get jittery over 15,000 cases of Russian crab meat. We used to get far more than that of Japanese canned crab. And Cana dian lumber imports are not going to injure seriously the domestic lumber market which still is distorted In its pricing. If we have any foreign trade at all some group is apt to suffer; but we are hardly ready to quit trading with foreign countries. Lane county, which defeated a county man ager plan two years ago, is going to have an other bid. A citizens' meeting last week voted to organize to get a manager charter on the ballot for the May primaries. Some counties should break the' ice and set up such a plan, if only to test it out. The plan has worked Well in cities. Give it a trial in counties. The near-final returns in the British election give Labor a majority, but by so scant a margin -that its tenure is by no means secure. Reminds one of the famous saying of King Fyrrhus of Epirus who said of the battle of Asculum, 280 B.C. "Another such victory over the Romans and we are undone." so familiar it hardly needs re peating. Nor. is there anything unusual about the Ribicoff poli tical career a four-year term in the Connecticut state legisla ture, followed by four years as a police court judge, and finally by his election to the-eighty-, first congress on the democratic ticket in a close race. ' Dozens of Ribicoff S colleagues could duplicate all this. Yet the fact remains that Abraham Ribi coff la full of surprises. For one thing, this freshman congress man has embarked on a quite astonishing political experiment. The nature of this experiment, which began ' after he toured Europe this summer as a member of the house foreign affairs committee, is very simple. It Is to tell the voters in his district the unpalatable truth. On his return Ribicoff made speeches throughout his district, and wrote numerous articles for Connecticut papers, about the real position of the United States in the world. He has now written a summing - tip article, called "Europe and Illusion," which, unlike almost anything else to. emerge from congress, deserves to be read in fulL For one thing; Ribicoff la found to write (and he employs no ghosts) a simple but remarkably effective English prose. v There are no breathing spa ces ahead," be writes, "for this country to enjoy while the bal ance of power serves as a buffer between us and the world's prob lems.' He spells out the meaning of this conclusion; it is a danger ous illusion to suppose that we can withdraw from our world responsibilities in 1832, or soon thereafter, sharply reduce taxes , "and live happily ever after. On the contrary, he writes, "it looks to me more like a task of ten more years calling for an additional outlay of $25,000,000, 000 . . . The present planning of foreign aid is premising a scope, that is too little and an ending' that is too soon . . . We must crabbed about imports of 15,- look upon the coat of keeping Europe free as a cost of keeping ourselves in business. If we pull out at any time In the foresee able future, we leave a vacuum which can only be filled by the Soviet union." ' : This Isstrong stuff In an elec tion year. But in two chief com munications to the voters of his district Ribicoff really drives the point home that American re sponsibilities are neither cheap nor painless. Virtually the en tire farm vote of his district con sists of shade tobacco growers. At their request he has Intro duced an amendment to the farm bill including shade tobacco under the farm parity program. At the same time he has bluntly served notice on his farmer con stituents that he will vote against the whole program. Including his own amendment, simply be cause be considers it extrava gant nonsense in these times. He has also - astonishingly opposed the building of a feder ally - financed $132000,000 dam in his own district "We have' fixed charges which must be met before are can even begin to dis cuss appropriations for such projects." he briskly informs the voters. "The security of our na tion, as represented in military and foreign aid commitments, is now primary." By all the adopted rules, put ting national security before the pork barrel should spell curtains for Ribicoff. Yet there is a final surprise in his strange tale. He is now so unchallengeably strong3 in his district that the republi cans are talking of nominating him on their ticket. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, the Ribicoff story seems to suggest that to treat the voters in this democracy like adults is actually good politics. At least a good ' many people more powerful, and conspicuous than the freshman congressman might do well to ponder the meaning of Abraham Ribicoffs experiment. :' : . l . j 'y.

Gustavns Swift and Philip D. Armour built its great meat packing plant. The Chicago board of trade rivaled the New York Stock Exchange in specu lative interest. Tycoons like Levi Leiter manipulated markets and ran corners in grain. Playing the board of. trade was a com mon habit of midwest merchants and well-to-do farmers. The great flow of energy that had built the city and drawn the central prairies to it with ties tangible and intangible reached its climax In the World's Fair of '1883, - The Columbian Exposi tion, held a year after the quad rennial of the voyage of Colum bus in 1492. With characteristic expansiveness Chicago spread its pavilions, its lagoons, its plaster palaces in Jackson park. This success encouraged further effort toward rising above the odor of the stockyards, the dirt of South Clark street, the banal ities of barter, and developing an indigenous culture. The city went in for planning and the open window on Lake Michigan at Grant park is one tribute to the range of the plan ners' vision. The Art Institute introduced the midwest to the fine arts.

In Chicago (or in nearby Tndiana) lived and wrote such authors as Eugene Field, Hamlin Garland, George Ade, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Taridngton. The Dial, published In Chicago gained In ternational attention as a maga zine of literary criticism. Har riet Monroe founded "Poetry" as a vehicle for original verse. Frank and Charles Norris were born in Chicago (their- sister Kathleen was born in San Fran cisco) and Frank's novel "The Pit" is a gripping story of board of trade speculation.

Your Health When people with heart dis ease develop other disorders re quiring surgery, the physician is faced with a difficult problem. Failure to operate may be fatal. On the other hand, it may often seem equally dangerous to carry out a major surgical operation on a patient with serious heart trouble.

People are afraid they're going to miss something." From there the funny man went on to air some serious com plaints about comedy-making to day. "Everything's got to be too neat now," be argued.

TBS THIRD KING, by Fletcher Pratt (Stoaae; 4) . In 1340, after some years of chaos when Denmark, a sort of deckle-edge patch -on the map, half land and half water, had been divided up under local and alien sovereignties or none at all, Taldemar IV was raised to the throne. Though Valdemar the Great and Valdemar the Victori ous had been kings in fact, the third to bear their name and assume their position seemed to be coming Into an empty title.

There was a spate of enemies. potential and actual, and for time the ambitious king thought of following the Vikings overseas to Invade England. In the Second Hanseatie War, the beleaguered country was de serted by its king,; who left his lieutenants to wage the unequal combat and vanished behind en emy lines. But It did not seem hke desertion to contemporaries. nor does it to Pratt, who thinks so highly of his Valdemar that he suggests theJdng was leaving the people to their own desperate de vices in order to test the stability and fortitude of the country he had put together out of little pieces. It stayed together, too. Laws began to replace personal alle giance: certain fundamental indi vidual rights were established: and a nation appeared where be fore there had been only a di vided kfaedom. II It was a feat for Valdemar to reduce chaos to some order, so was it for Pratt, who dealt with several Valdemars and even a Waldemar, to dig out the mate rial and assemble it clearly, for it's sH there for the careful read er.
