Telepnen S-Z44L Entered at tti aoatome at Salem, Ducking Out on McCarthy ' Even republicans are running out on Sen. Joe McCarthy. Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, quite a constant critic of the admin istration, criticizes McCarthy's methods, though he holds the objective of the Wisconsin senator praiseworthy. And under no, inhibitions of club courtesy Governor Warren and Duff, national figures among the governors, disowned McCar thy's tactics. Duff declared it unwise to make random, blanket charges without specific data to back them up. Warren commented that we had lost prestige throughout the world because of th goings-on in Washington.' He favored a bipartisan inquiry to get at the truth.- McCarthy meantime throws out fresh blasts at Acheson and the state department, showing prizefighter's shiftiness on his feet. After his accusations on Lattimore fizzled he dragged out the Amerasia case, where the finger was point ed more particularly at the justice department. So investigators are sniffing on that old trail to tee where It lpads to. Th net result is not to purge bur government of reds they have already beeri cleaned out of key positions; but the confuse and distract the public and divert public officials from more im portant business. McCarthy originally was just being loose -lipped with his Lincoln day speeches. When senators called for proof he re sponded with more and wilder charges none of Which he has substantiated. It's time for a sum mer recess at least on the sound and fury. Adults Co to School I During the school year one going by school buildings at night and seeing lights blazing may conclude the janitors are very wasteful of elec tricity. The probability is however that if it is not some function of the regular school It is classes in adult, education which are "burning, midnight oil; Last year 42 classes were in structed for those below college level and 24 for those of college level. Enrollment is reported at 1W in the former, and increase of 56 per cent for the year. This does not include classes in vocational agriculture conducted under the GI training program.' A wide range of instruction is offered from Accounting to Woodworking. In the below-col-lege group most of the courses are of a practical nature; auto mechanics, dressmaking, metal eraf, practical nursing, typing. For, the college group courses offered included, educational and general psychology, contemporary problems, history of Pacific northwest. The purposes of the students are vocational or educational. Those in trades want to prepare i themselves more thoroughly, likewise many who I are teachers take courses for credits as do oth ers wanting to complete work for a college-de-free. But many of the courses are avocational study and work to enable one to follow some hobby. W The college courses are offered by the exten . aion division of the state system of higher edu cation. The lower level courses are given by ftdult education department of the Salem public schools. Costs are borne by tuition, by receipts j Schuman Plan Developments Watched For Digression from Original Pool Interpretation By J. M. Roberts, 'Jr. AP .Foreign Attain Analyst Behhind-the-scenes observers wer watching closely last night to see if there might by a fly in n :cnuman plan ointment. From the be f Inning the French foreign minister's Idea for a pooling of western Eur ope's coal and Jteel industries as been Inter preted as de signed to cover production, sale. distribution and development His original state ment, among other things, refer red specifically to development f joint exports. ' The plan was accepted every where, except in Britain, as a great idea for composition of th ancient troubles between France and Germany, 'for the advance- . ment of Europe's economic unity, and for control of the sinews of car,-- ..'..';.'.' :V The idea was directed primar ily at France and Germany, but ether nations were asked to join in, and Belgium, Holland. Lux embourg and Italy agreed to Join In negotiations. Britain refused, although her government is still reported to be hoping, to play some part despite the recent ful minatiois over socialist dogma by the I committee of the labor party. And thereby hangs th ques tion of whether France is pre pared to go ahead, on as broad a basis as originally indicated, without Britain. Whether France now feels that control of German Induction must become a part t the program in balance with cooperation. And whether the Germans will suspect that within pool composed of France. Italy, Belgium, Holand and Luxem bourg, German Interests will find themselves la a minority. Schumaa Is quoted as saying Sunday that the plan covers only production, not trade and utiliz ation, which Is to say distribu tion. And that Germay will not ' b absolved from the production eeiUng already fixed by the oc cupation powers. Schumaa may have been ad dressing himself direct! t to the British on Sunday, offering to ?. V 5 Oregeo. a tder from the veterans' administration and from cer tain state funds. . , ! The adult education program makes education available to many who missed out on instruction which now they need or want. It has equipped hundreds to improve their work and raise their status in an occupation. The school plant in use In evening hours is not wasting electricity. It if yielding dividends to he community through use." ... ! , Trading Jewels for Men For the release of Robert A. Vogeier, an American businessman, and his associate Edgar Sanders, Hungary Is trying hard bargaining fThe men who were telephone company executives were convicted on th usual charges of spying and sentenced to long prison terms. Hungary! terms for therelease are the return of Hun garian crown jewels, Including the historic crown of St Stephen, Hungary'i first king, re leas of war reparations from Germany and permission to reopen' consulates in the United States. Singular that so much attachment hold with th present Hungarian government to the old crown.; The communisms have no truck with monarchy, Tout even Russia holds onto the jewels of the tsars. That the return of the crown of St. Stephen which was stolen by the nazi and now is held by the allies in west Germany isvdesired by the Hungarians shows they respect It as a symbol of history. Such inconsistency is not new with Hungary. Between the wars it was listed as a monarchy but actually ruled by Admiral Horthy, so it was described as a monarchy with out a king ruled by an admiral without a navy. Relics and art works and historic instruments ought to be returned to the country of their origin. Venice got back the horses of St. Marks after Napoleon had filched them. So It would seem that Hungary should get back its royal jewelry. And Vogeier and Sanders ought to be released to return to 'their own countries. This country shipped Gubitchev, Miss Coplon's co spy, back to Russia. The Hungarians should let this pair go. The estimate for the Oregon wheat crop shows a probable decrease of seven per cent over 1949, which was not a banner year either. The drop is largely du to reducjed acreage although the spring was very dry and some injury resulted. The crop in the Pacific northwest is expected to be a little larger than in 1949. Meantime northwest mills are in trouble for lack of mar kets. Their export business is sharply curtailed and high freight rates pinch them out of distant domestic markets. , 7 " Congress is passing jtnother bill to. extend time for completion of assessment work on min ing claims. Miners get more petting from con gress in the way of concessions than most other group; but most of the claims are worthless any how. They are just a focus for miners' dreams of riches. compromise fears about the ef fect of international control on their t own trade. His Tuesday address at the opening of the pool negotiations refers again to the establishment of a general European market, which does In volve distribution, trade prac tices, etc., as well as production. If the so-called pool should turn out to be merely a matter of production controls, then the co operative angle would be lost in the shuffle. The idea would be not greatly different from the early post-war French proposals for international control of Ger man industry.

Schuman has given every evi dence of sincerity in his desire to make' a cooperative move, not a power move. But even such a man is subject to the facts of national pressures and interna tional conflicting Interests" His apparently conflicting statements recently have caused a close watch to be set for the details of the French plan, which are ex pected soon.. on Parade A friend's suggestion pushed Miss Tyler into the movies. Born In Scranton, Fa4 where she sang in th First Methodist Church choir, she was a New York radio actress at 13. One day she and Patty Chapman, another "Aunt Jenny cast number, were walk ing down the street with Bever ly's parents. They passed the Loew building. Patty told Beverly she ought to go upstairs and ask for an M-G-M screen test, Beverly and her mother went up. Beverly sang and played the piano for the test director. He brought in oth er executives. Finally one of them asked her mother, "Would you accompany your daughter to Hollywood? Bev arrived here when she was 14. She had drama, French, dic tion, dancing; and singing lessons and went to the studio school for four years before the studio put her into ingenue roles. Last year, after seven and a half years association, she and the studio made a friendly parting. Since then she has starred in a western, "Palomino, her first color firm,- besides the skating picture. . .

The public ownership unit has the choice of buying out its com petition by negotiation, or by con demnation. If it elects to do neither but to compete then it should get the fruits of its de cision, to-wit competition. Other wise you would virtually confis cate the property of the private utility. : One feature of the order of Commissioner Flagg should not be overlooked: any losses sus tained by Pacific in The Dalles or by Mt States in Springfield may not be passed on to consumers in .Other parts of the territory each serves. Thus ratepayers in Al bany or in Pendleton will not be burdened because the company serving them makes no money at these PO points. These competitive situations are not healthy. They are waste ful and contentious. Ratepayers may save on charges but taxpay ers have to absorb tax losses, though PUD's are subject to pro perty taxes. Where communities decree competition their they'll have to accept competition. Flagg's order merely recognizes , that competition virtually sus pends rate regulation in the local ity affected. Safety Ive "Balanced' Plan Seeks Wider Representation To the Editor: Giles French has done grave disservice to those who are seek ing to assure regular legislative reapportionment in Oregon. Rich ly jinerited was your criticism of his declaration that rural people "are smarter, wiser and better able to govern the state." Where a person lives has no demonstrable connection with his ability to vote intelligently. When Mr. French claims it does, and ties the declaration to his support of the "balanced apportionment" plan, he misrepresents the bal anced plan. The plan- for which he was speaking is not predicated on the assumption that rural people are wiser. As a city-dweller, I resent the implication. Bather, the bal anced plan, which has the en dorsement of the republican par ty among other groups, is based on the assumption that sparsely populated areas have need for more adequate representation in the state legislature-than their population alone would give them.-.. It doesn't take 30 members of the i legislature to present ade quately Multnomah county's problems to the legislature. On the other hand, mere should be a representative for Lake coun ty's problems, even if this means over-representing Lake county on a population basis. The balanced plan Is so set up that population will be very near . ly given direct representation. Some exception la necessary to permit representation of more sparsely i settled communities of local interest. The exceptions are not based on the relative wisdom of rural people but on the wis dom of having a legislature com posed of people who know the nature of the problems about which they legislate. A.

Literary Guidepost By Ben Bassett ASSIGNMENT TO AUSTERITY, by Herbert and Nancie Mat thews (Bobbs-Merrill; $3) The Labor government came to power in Britain in 1945. Herbert Matthews arrived in London al most at the same time, to head the bureau of the New York Times. In this book Matthews joins his wife, Nancie, in telling the story of Britain between that 1945 election and th 1950 elec tion which returned Labor, to power by a scanty margin. ; "British socialism is in a clinch now, hanging on," says Mat thews. "It should by no means be counted out, authough one has to recognize that something of the dynamism of revolution which characterized the crusade of 1945 had already gone out of the party. Matthews pictures the elector ate, with both the labor and con servative parties, as groping to ward a middle ground where the AGAIN!

Salary of Salem police chief equal to Eugene's . . . scales for local assistant po welfare state can function under a democratic system. He says British industry sull has a "car tel mentality," while the British worker prefers to buy leisure more than anything " that is his privilege, but he may have to accept a lower standard of living as a result.' The national health plan works, Matthews finds, but the cost is prohibitive. However, It is bound to stay, even under a conservative government. Mat thews says the middle class bears the brunt of sacrifice in the ad vance of socialism. He is none too optimistic about the final result. Nancie Matthews, contributing alternate chapters, describes England from the house-wife's viewpoint - the difficulties of Just living and feeding a family. Her comments bring British , so- ' cialism down to the personal level. Illuminating the political trends and personalities that her husband deals with. Old Damascus Fascinating to U.S. Visitors By IXeBry MeLemere DAMASCUS, Syria No mat ter how hard the visitor tries to project his mind beck into the mists of antiq- uity, he cant quite make a go of it here in Damascus. When a Dam ascene speaks of the flood he is not referring to recent high waters in the Barada River, which winds through the center of the city, but to the real Flood the one which Noah and his animals rode out in the Ark. The first wall" built after the Deluge was one at Damascus, ruins of which can still be seen. Any Damascene with a shovel has only to dig in his backyard to unearth museum pieces of all types, many dating to centuries before Christ. Just to walk Dam ascus' thousands of narrow, cob blestoned souks, or streets, pro vides a tremendous lesson in his tory and the Bible. A few minutes' walk from the center of town and one is at the wall where St Paul was lowered In a basket by the Christians to escape those who planned to kill him. The very window out of which he crawled is still there, and in a fine state" of preserva tion. The wall is so well preserv ed and so massive that the in side of it has been made into hundreds of apartments which the government rents to people who like living in what is liter ally a hole in the wall. The house of Ananias still stands, much as it was in Christ's, time, except that it is some 30 feet below the street, the city having been destroyed and re built so many times since An anias built the house. There is a small church in the biggest room of the house and an anachronism is that the flowers in the chapel are planted in Shell aviation gas oline cans. The church is used for worship every day. From almost anywhere in the city one can see the snow-capped peak of Mt. Hermon where an angel stayed Abraham from sac rificing his son. And on a nearby mountainside is the cave where Cain slew Abel. Just above the cave is a giantic boulder, and legend has it that the water which gushes from it began flow ing at the time of the first crime. A lover of ancient architecture and oriental rugs could spend a month in the Grand Mosque which, during the course of time, has been a pagan temple, a syn agogue, a church, and at last a mosque. The head of Et. John the Baptist is buried here-. The mosque is a tremendous place and the floor is completely cov ered with oriental rugs donated by wealthy Moslems.' The rugs are of all shapes, sizes and colors, and they are all stitched together. This precau tion was taken when some of the less honest worshippers began making off with some of the loveliest rugs. In the older sections of Dam ascus little has changed from Biblical days. The streets are so narrow as scarcely to allow the passage of two laden beasts of burden. Everyone wears the clothes that have been standard for centuries. Practically no west ern clothes are seen. Every few blocks one comes to massive gates through which can be seen huge courtyards and stone watering troughs. These are the ancient caravansaries where the camel trains could have safety and lodging qm their long trips across, the desert. To see the real beauty of Dam ascus one has to gain entrance through the innumerable small the old mud and stone gates in walls. From the outside on would guess that back of the walls were hovels. But once in side there is apt to be a lovely courtyard with apricot, plum and olive trees shading flower beds and a flowing fountain. And many of the houses are literally palaces, with floors and walls of the most delicate mosaic, and the , furnishings pure treasures. Yes, Damascus is a fascinating place-to visit. Yet I don't suppose GRIN AND BEAR IT "Maybe we hU take Jest in case LynLeeSliop Opens Today Salem's newest women's apparel shop, the Lyn-Lee, 149 N. High st will open this morning.

Chapter 21 YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER By Wendell Webb A newspaper affects so near ly everyone that in many re spects it is in the category of a public utility. There is no limit to the de mands made upon it There is also no limit to the effort it will go to meet those demands. But it can never meet them all. It is 'one , of the most cussed and discussed commodities of the times. It would be less eassed if Its critics eeald keep In mind the fact that a newspaper does net make news. It reports it, re fleets It, sometimes interprets it. Bat tt does net make news. To the queston, "is there cen sorship, the answer is definite ly "no." To the question, "is there at tempted censorship," the answer is "yes." Road blocks are constantly be ing placed in the path of get ting news. Federal agencies and boards, some of them, particu larly have tried to perpetuate the "no comment" or "off the record" approach which grew up during the war. Some other agencies, federal and state, re sent giving out news. And there are always a few would-be kings in lowly places who sit on their self-styled thrones and imply that it's none of the taxpayers business what they or their of fices do. That Isnt censorship as such. But tt makes more difficult the newspaper's job of giving the public what it has a right te know. Usually ft dees the would-be censors far mere harm than good, too. Your own newspaper wants to be of the greatest possible service to its subscriber-friends, to its city, to the area it serves. If and when it falls short, it wants to know about It It doesn't expect kind words be cause it gets so few although there are much-appreciated: ex ceptions. But it does hope its American public will realize that a free press is truly, dis tinctly and all-but-exclusively American. The End. Better English By D. G. Williams 1.
