Telephone S-244L Russian Election Speeches Let's don't let Russian election speeches fool US. Headlines Interpreting the pre-election ora tory in Moscow as meaning that Russia is now ready to talk peace are just playing into the communists hands. Moscow's so-called peace drive is another offensive cold-war maneuver, nothing more. Malenkov, the very powerful head 0! the communist party in Russia and a possible sue- cesser to Stalin in the event 01 me janers death, said the Soviet government "is faithful to the cause of universal peace, will not aban don further efforts directed at insuring peace, and is ready to be an active participant in all Jbonest plans, measures and activities to avert a new war and preserve the peace of the whole World." Speeches by the other top Russian lead ers were in the same vein, with variations such as MolotcVs yak-yak about the U. S.'s "non existent hydrogen bomb. Somehow, the speakers manage to sound quite amenable. They give the impression that Russia is. perfectly willing to meet America halfway, but that the U. S. is holding off. Ac tually, both nations have said they are willing to take part in peace talks but neither wants to make the first move. So, there is a stale mate. The situation, therefore is very useful to the Russian propagandists. They tell the Soviet voters and the world that the Kremlin wants peace but that U. S. warmongers are blocking efforts to secure peace. And some Americans are falling for the same Jine. They're demanding IKnf IPntMsnf . Tniman rtnif .lm Cfalin An 4 Vi A telephone and arrange a date. Chances are the tete-a-tete would end in a stalemate, too, be cause no U S.-Russian agreement on atomic weapons control- ,and peace treaties of Ger many, Austria, Japan is in sight. .Meanwhile, Russia -is engaged in an armament building program which overshadows the combined pro gram of all the Atlantic Pact nations put to gether. C. jL. Sulzberger of the New York' Times analyzes the communist peace drive as follows: "The fundamental purpose of . the propagan dized peace offensive is to try to reduce west ern strength, delay its defensive recuperation and lessen its political stability. Moscow is us ing the word "peace" as a synonym for trou ble, just as it uses the word "democracy" as a synonym for dictatorship. The "peace offens ive", will be-directly responsible for organized riots, provocations and bloodshed this spring in Let us guard against letting the "peace of fensive" be responsible for confusion and dis unity in America. Too Little, Too Late Editorial cartoonists have had a lot of fun with the tug-of-war between Chiang Kai-shek and Li Tsung-jen over the presidency of China. But the situation isn't funny. It's tragic. It's a latter-day example of too little, too late. long-time hero and, white hope, Chiang, Li Tsung-jen rode into office on his platform thai It was possible to make an honorable peace with the communists. Chiang had refused to freppease, had refused to make the liberal re forms the people demanded and the people and much of his army deserted him and turned to Li. Li ended" up in Peiping, under Commun ist Leader Mao's iron fist. He got out, however, pleading a stomach ailment which required a trip to a New York hospital. Meanwhile, Chiang, headquartered on For mosa, has stiffened his resistance. At a time when it appeared that all was lost, Chiang has risen once more to the leadership that former ly won him the respect of the world. Morale in his armed forces seems to have improved; his navy and air force are doing considerable dam age to communist-held ports. He withstood an attempt by Red troops to establish a beachhead on Hainan and he's going to try to hold his last stronghold, Formosa, at all costs. Most important of all, Chiang, upon deposing Li and resuming the presidency, has at long last put some real liberals and reformers into key positions, the New York Times reports. This Is what the Chinese people have wanted all along. If only Chiang while he still had the support of his people and of his most powerful -friend, the IX, S. had done that long ago; if only he had, lng ago, made the reforms he iuiuucu aum ivt-yi ma lonowers loyai, tnuia might not now be a satellite of Russia. It is a rise of too little1, too late. As Li, speaking in great bitterness, put it, The Chinese communists were able to come to power, not because of the merit of communism, but because the regime of Chiang was rotten to the core." That's why the reform moves within Chiang's regime now look like a futile gesture. They .will be lost on the majority of Chinese who are now the servants of Moscow. Maybe, though, they will strengthen the guerrilla resistance forces on the mainland and bring them under Chiang's wing, again. Li himself Is competing for the allegiance of the mainland resistance. He calls upon the Chi nese to overthrow both the communist and the Chiang regimes. Thus the quarrel between Chi ang and Li is a battle of survival for each of them. And, it may determine the pattern for China after, in due time, this ancient nation throws off the Russian yoke. Town Meetings in Salem There's nothing like controversy to stir the people up and get them interested in issues that affect their lives. And there's nothing like a public meeting, at which every man jack has a chance to get up and speak his piece. So we're all for the projected series of Town Meetings forums in Salem, to be sponsored by, the city's three Toastmaster clubs beginning: April 1. Topics so far selected are such dillies as the veterans bonus, CVA, school bond issue and re organization of the VA. Speakers will present both sides of each question and then the audi ence will ask questions. It's a good Idea and we hope they go to it, hot : and heavy. Nothing will kill interest in these Town Meetings quicker than polite, namby-pamby debate or an audience that just sits on its hands and keeps its collective mouth shut'. Let's get speakers who are all fired up about their subjects. Let's get out audiences which like to put the "experts" on the spot and are hot afraid of questions that dig around at the roots of the matter. , A real Town Meeting Vermont style, say does: not resemble a ladies' afternoon study club in the least. It's really a shirttail relation to the old-lime conferences around the cracker barrel where the more peppery of the partici pants wouldn't hesitate to break a checkerboard over an opponent's noggin. We don't expect Salem audiences to come -equipped with checkerboards, and we'd just as soon the debaters left their shoot in irons at home, but a few good arguments with no verbal holds barred would do a lot "to liVen up the community and stimulate discussion of vital topics. Political Parade With 288 (count 'em) candidates for state of fices, the primary election takes on some as pects of a pari-mutuel race or a grand-scale pin-the-tail -on-the-donkey game. Though this certainly means no minimizing of its import ance. With so many names to choose from, though, the voter is often confused. He can take the advice of the various touts and run the risk of betting on a horse's neck. He can forego the word, straight from the horse's mouth, and try to find the best man for the job by the process of elimination. Or he. may simply blindfold his eyes and jab at the ballot with a pencil. None of these time-honored methods of voting gain much credit for the electorate, or insure election of the best bets. To help eliminate such haphazard practices, The Statesman will again this year present its "Political Parade" feature a series of statements from candidates of this area. It gives the men in the running a chance to put in a plug for their ideas, give their quali fications In their own words and make their bid for the winning vote. It enables voters to get better acquainted with the lineup at the starting post. , , But we don't expect the thumb-nail sketches to list the handicaps of the entrants. Discerning these details still remains part of the gamble. It's the mystery that adds to the excitement, that challenges every voter to take careful stock of the political parade. There are some mighty good men in many of the races. T, San Francisco's mayor is getting a lot more than he asked for letters, that is. As a means of tapping the man on the street a Write-a-k Letter-to-the-Mayor Week was scheduled! It was supposed to end a week ago but the letters keep corning. Hundreds of 'em. Including such gems as the suggestions that instead of alumin um owls to scare away the pigeons that clutter up the city hall, SF should get live owls and an aluminum mayor! China Communists Work to Simplify Wedding Rites as Part of Program to Scrap Traditions By James D. White AP Foreign News Analyst SAN FRANCI$CO. March 12-(A)-The Chinese communists are moving in on another old Chin-i ese custom and turning it into a sounding board for their ideas This is the wedding, normally a lavish affair. Now, according to one Chinese report, the cere mony looks like a political dis cussion interrupted by marriage rites. In the old China, weddings, along with funerals, were re garded as so important that the family would impoverish itself if necessary to uphold family pres tige. ! ' Somewhat as Americans think little of going into: debt to buy a new car, Chinese I thought little of mortgaging their future to par for a costly wedding party. The new type of wedding that may replace the old is described by a leftist Hong; Kong news- Eaperln a report ofta recent hanghal ceremony. 1 Guests brought no gifts, but paid a few cents for tea and cakes. There was no wedding feast, nor any "drinking, jesting and jostling." l . The printed invitations out lined a program of discussions, on these topics: Criticism of the old style wed ding. Appraisal of toerjjrw. Is marriage a -tTurden? How is the full meaning ' of marriage realized? Plans and hopes of the bride and groom. There were no firecrackers, no brass band, do closed sedan chair in which the bride once was car ried to the ceremony. The reds claim to have riven women equal status with men under law. If they have act ually been able to do this, their efforts to bring wedding costs down into the realm of common sense may fare better than those of the nationalists. In any case they obviously hope to use the whole thing to implant their ideas firmly in the minds of young people. .Stripping the 'wedding cere mony of its trappings is another part of a quiet campaign the reds are waging to undermine the old Chinese family system. For the past century, after en during tens of centuries, this system has been .weakening in the face of western ideas of per sonal liberty and equality. Through women's and youth movements, and through peasant politics, the reds have made huge new inroads against the ideas of the old China. They hope, naturally, to make Chinese answerable to communist lead ership above everything else. ' . 0 v V Recipe for Well Cooked End Tables By Henry MeLemore ! DAYTON A BEACH, Fla-, March 12 Ive always been the wishy-washy type. I bow to the will of others. Consequently I have dyspepsia. It all comes from being forced to eat food that every one else likes except me. AH of my life I have been ask' ed to take a lit tle taate of something that ' someone else has mixed up to his own liking. The funny thing is I know what they mean. For Instance I like grits with good old rat cheese melted on top of It and it has been whis pered around my home that I force this concoction down the throats of even New England GRIN AND BEAR IT by Lichty guests (who have never heard of hominy grits with or without rat cheese). On the other hand, I have had things forced down my throat simply because a relative, friend or enemy has said, "Have a taste of this the way I have doctored it up." At the moment we have a house guest who likes Worces tershire sauce and mashed pota toes and insists that I take nib bles of it so that I will acquire his gourmet's taste for this par ticular dish. It seems to me that a guest is going just a little bit too far when he force-feeds his host. The first person who insisted that I take a bite of what he liked was my father. He happened to be crazy about carrots. I've al ways considered carrots inferior fare for rabbits, much less for men. But Poppa made me' eat them. I can hear him now: "Henry, have Just a bite of this." . . . . I would say, "Poppa, I don't like carrots." Poppa would says, "But you do." So I ate carrots. After all, when you are nine years of age you are too young to run away from home, you haven't saved enough money to retire, and being the sort of child I was no one would take me In. And even if a rela tive took me in like, say, Uncle Orville, what do you think I'd get for lunch carrots. Now that I am a grown man I eat only what I like. If I choose squirrel ears with red-eye gravy. that's for me. Weighing one hundred and seventy pounds and healthy I eat only what I want to eat. If I elect to eat a dictionary with Sauce Bernaise I don't think any man on earth has a right to question my taste. My virtues are few. Venus de Milo can name them on either hand. But one virtue I have I don't try to force food down someone else's throat The fact that I like end tables in wine does not mean everybody likes end ta bles in wine so why should they eat them? Incidentally, if you would like to have my recipe for end tables here it is: Take a four or five pound end table and marinate it overnight In a mixture composed of stamp collections (I hate 'em) and a sauce made of old match-box covers. Take an" ax and split the end tables into splinters and cook them until well done over a low flame, preferably a low flame supplied by a forest fire. When you have eaten the end table you Join a most select group. Mighty few people have ever eaten an end table prepared in this man ner. Almost everyone has eaten an end table cooked in the usual manner, which calls for chicken stock, stockings and chicken, and the heart of a redwood tree. That s easy. So why don't you all come to my house all four readers of mine and eat what you like. No body will ask you to have some . thing you don't care for. But 111 give you a slow tip you had bet ter like turnip greens and ham hock otherwise you'll be able to go home for half fare youll be so emaciated. (McNaught Syndicate.

Of 378,381 checks issued to those covered by the state's unemploy ment law, 257,106 went to those in lumbering, food processing and construction, in amount tne pro portion was even higher with S5,- 627,229 OUt Of S8,3ZZ,3o3 going to this group. The average weekly check for these industries was $21.89 as compared with $20.67 for others. Lumber and logging workers received the lion's share of the compensation, taking 46 per cent in February and 43 per cent In January. Outside of the Portland area, they accounted for more than 96 per cent of all checks is sued last month. In the last two weeks of the cold spell, 26,753 and 25,067 checks respectively were sent to those affected by the woods layoffs. Three out of every five checks Issued in . the Eugene area went to the lumber and log ging croup, while Toledo and Lebanon led all with a ratio of around four in five, Benefits Exhausted Of the 133,000 covered workers who filed claims since last July, more than 17,000 have exhausted their benefits for the current year which ends June 30 next. This more than doubles the number who had drawn maximum com' pensation a year ago.

Hollywood on Parade By Gene Handsaker HOLLYWOOD Geraldine Farnum is as pretty as, for ex ample, Anne Baxter and as graceful as Betty Grable. But you don't ' read much about Gerry. She's one of the movies unsung actresses extra, bit player, dancer, showgirl. Work ing in so many, categories, she admits bewilderedly, when you ask how to classify her: "I don't know exactly what I am." Gerry is 25, a bleached blonde, a divorcee, and the mother of a two-year-old son Peter. The fact that she is the daughter of a silent-screen western star. Franklin Farnum, has helped her get movie work. Her father still plays bits. He is often confused with two other prominent early movie Farnums William and his late brother Dustin. The two families are not related. Gerry started movie-acting when she was 19. She was un der contract for a time to two studios, then retired to have her baby. Recently she resumed her career again. What are her chances of being picked for star dom? She says: "Probably as good as everybody else's. I'd appreciate it can't honestly say I wouldn't be thrilled. But I, won't be disappointed if.it does n't happen.' I have my child, and that's responsibility enough.' I found Gerry arrayed in a feathery headdress and scanty costume for a number with Grable in "My Blue Heaven." In ."Down to Earth" she doubled for Rita Hayworth back view -walking down a cloudy" ramp oh a day Rita wasnt at the stud io, More recently she was a bar-girl in one sequence and a square dancer in another ' of "Copper Canyon." As a dancer she earns $111 weekly unless lifted' off the ground, even a teeny bit, by another performer.. Being lifted pays more $137.50 a week. It's a standing beef of dancers that show girls receive still more when, Gerry says, "all they have to j do is stand there ' and look pretty." As a showgirl she has been paid $175 a week. She grossed about $4,000 last year. Her dues in the actors' and ex tras' guilds total $8.50 per quarter. "Right today. Gerry would advise other girls, "if you want to make a living you shouldn't get I into pictures. They're not making the lavish musicals they did.: But," she concedes, "it's fun! to work in pictures."

A decline of nearly 10 per cent in the lumber and logging all-time high of $272. 957,062 in 1948 was mainly re sponsible for the difference be tween the . two periods but either year's total was more than four times the average for 1937 39. Wages Higher Wages paid In the wood pro ducts industry alone were higher than all payments for any year before 1941, when the wartime shipbuilding program started. Three of the. larger counties; Marion, Douglas and Deschutes, showed slight gains in payrolls for the first nine months of 1949 as compared with the same period a year earlier. Several smaller counties also reported more' wage payments, dux most sections of the state were slightly behind 1948 figures s Multnomah Declines juuimoman county, after ex ceeding previous marks during the first half of 1949, declined about $4,000,000 in the third quarter to chalk up a smaller total un to September 30. Contributions from employers during the first quar ter of 1950 on payrolls for the fourth quarter of 1949, were ex pected to total about $2,500,000 or about $1,000,000 less than was collected during the previous inree months. . Collections during the second quarter may aeciine to a new low since before the war. By the end of the fiscal year June 30, un employment reserves may drop below $70,000,000 for the 1 first uma since early 1947.

NewCHriese Cabinet Skips Li's Faction By Spencer Meesai TAIPEI, Formosa, March 12- OT-A new cabinet representing all Chinese nationalist elements with the notable exception of Vice President LI Tsung-Jen's 1 faction was formed today to face the un certain warring future. Top nationalist figures ! firmly declined comment on Lfs out burst in New York against Presi dent Chiang Kai-Shek.
