June is the month of the rose,
and this June has been particular
ly favorable to our Oregon roses.
The bushes have- been bursting
with bloom. The pests have been
less pesky, or is it just more dili
gent spraying, with better sprays?
All agree that the rose shows have
been unusually good in the abun
dance and quality of the rose ex

This year Satumia displaced the
Peace rose as the grand champion
at the Portland rose festival how
we dote on the new, patented roses
at the same time that we cherish
the old standby. Where is the

Druschi for example?
But have you heard of the old

it clear here Wednesday that while
George Alexander is referred to
most frequently as warden he ac

Opposing Views
PORTLAND, June 13-flVThe
head of the national grange today
advocated meat rationing to re
place price controls. :. ' ';' '';
Herschel "Newsom, national
grange ! master, , told " the state
grange convention that price con
trols will not work because they
are built on a political approach.
"Nobody can defend beef prices
at 150 per . cent of parity. The
present political program of price
controls and rollbacks just won t
work because' it does not recog
nize -the basic equity and justice
of the problem, he said.' v
The fact is that the nation has
more ' money than meat, and ra
tioning ; is necessary,- Newsom as
serted. . -
Earlier the grangers had heard
state Grange Master Elmer Mc-
Clure urge support of the price
controls.
Ignores; Justice ;
Newsom said the present con
trols ignore . equities and justice
for tne- zarmer. .
".uici Jo tin son (national eco

cently and said ' that despite all
of the equity and justice on our
side, ceilings would have to be
held, even on . those commodities
below a fair price, Newsom said
in an j interview prior to his
speech.! .
"I believe it is a bit dangerous
not to make provision for what
we .think likely will happen in
coming montns,:! but , it is . even
more dangerous to use this politi
cal approach, it weakens our
economy at a time when we must
strengthen it," he said.
Delegates, who voted Morton
Tompkins out of office as state
grange master last year, also re
fused to seat him on the execu

Luke Reif, Powell Butte, won

Takes Ne Stand " . ' -- 'l
The grange took no stand on
the controversial proposal to cam-
paign against the school reorgani
zation act passed by the recent
legislature. A public hearing on
the matter was called for tomor

Without a dissent the grange
proposed a statewide vote in the
election of 1952 on daylight sav

had assured the grange of their
support in a campaign to outlaw

Taking Risk of
Starting War
' - By Roger D. Greene
WASHINGTON, - June 13-TAV
Lieut. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer
urged today that the United States
bomb the Husso-Chinese railroad
in Manchuria even at the ''calcu
lated risk" of igniting World War
III. . .
The railroad, jointly controlled
by Russia and Red China, is used
to funnel supplies to the Chinese
armies fighting in Korea.
American and allied planes are
now forbidden to bomb targets
north of the Yalu river frontier
between Korea and Manchuria.
Testifying for the third straight
day at the senate's MacArtbur in
quiry, wedemeyer said bombing
the Manchurian railroad "might
result in war with Russia, but he
declared:
It is a calculated risk that per
sonally I would recommend we
accept.
Disagrees with Admiral
Wedemeyer also said he dis
agrees with earlier testimony by
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, chief
of naval operations, that a U. S.
naval blockade of Russian-con
trolled ports in Manchuria would
be "an act of war."
Sherman had said he favors a
United Nations blockade of Red
China but opposes the United
States undertaking it alone.
Wedemeyer has come out for a
naval blockade of Red China and
the shelling of Chinese coastal
cities by U. S. warships alone if
necessary.. .. '. .

pect on China, gave his views to

mony at 1:42 p.m. EST. Former

Greater unification in racial re
lations within the Methodist
church is unfolding in the south,
Dr. Ezra Cox said Wednesday at
the 89th annual conference of the
Methodist church being held this
week on the Willamette university
campus.
Dr. Cox is head of the board
of missions and church extension
for the west coast and has trav
eled extensively in southern states.
Methodistism is facing the
problem of raciaT relations which
exists within the church in the
all-negro Central conference, he
said.' Although it was necessary to
form the negro conference in 1S39,
it is becoming less necessary as
the south itself is moving in the
direction of complete unification
and more equal rights for negroes.
The Methodist church has been
the only institution strong enough
to take a lead in solving the prob
len, he tald...

First Line of
U.S. Defense
Said on Yalu
By Don Whitehead ?
AUSTIN. . Tex., ?. June 13 HV
Gen. Douglas MacArthur today
bitterly accused U. S. policy mak
ers of appeasement in Korea n4
of "moral weakness" by talking
of a peace settlement.; - r
He told an audience of acone
20,000 Texans that America's first
line of defense is the: Yalu river
at the Manchurian border and Bof
the Elbe river in Europe-
He charged U. S. foreign policy
appears to be influenced from
abroad and by fear of what ther
nations might think or do. ;
In a speech bristling with -defiance
of Truman: administration
war policies, the; five-star en-
eral called for stronger measures
against- the, enemy in Korea . to
end the war "rapidly and decisive-
ly." . : f
"I should be recreant, more
over, to my obligations of citizen
ship did I fail to warn that h
policies of appeasement on which .
we are now embarked carry with
in themselves the." very incitatioo
to war . against us," he said. "It
the Soviet dies strike, it will Toe
because of the weakness we now
riienlav rather tVian th T-rrr4K

MacArthur spoke., from the
front steps of the state . capital --

ering of the legislature, which c
cupied chairs in front of him. He
had been invited ! to speak before
the legislature, but it concluded
its session last Friday. Many mem.
Ders - returned to ; near . the gen
eral.- , . .. i . ;
Parade In Houston :j
The general almost immediate
ly flew to Houston, where he led
a parade which Police Chief L,
D. Morrison estimated was wit
nessed bv 500.00 nersons. Soma
viewers stood two;' hours along the
parade route to see MacArthur. :
- A swirl of torn newspapers and
telephone books fell around tb.
general at points along his pa
rade route. There were no tun-
ultuous cheers, i; i
- In Austin, the general brought
out many points; previously as
serted in testimony in Washing
ton and in other speeches. ,
Again MacArthur challenged
the administration claim that .to
spread the war against : China
might draw Russia into the coo
flict and touch -off world war
three. " u . - ;
Bulldozing Operation 1 ..' '
MacArthur said "there is n.
slightest- doubt in my mind"5 but
that Russia has been engaging
in the "greatest 1 bulldozing di
plomacy history has ever record
ed. . : -' ,: -
; He contended the Soviets have
succeeded not because of mili
tary strength "but in the moral
weakness of the free world."
He said: "It is a weakness which
has caused many-; free nations to
succumb to and embrace the false
tenets of communist propaganda.
It is a weakness which has caused'
our own policy makers, after com
mitting America'! soaa to batUe,
to leave them to the continuous
slaughter of an indecisive cam
paign by imposing arbitrary re
straints upon the support wt
might otherwise, provide them
through maximum employment of,
our scientific superiority, wbicTJ "
alone offers hope of early victory.
Short af OhiertivM i
"It is a weakness i which now
causes those in authority to
strongly hint at a settlement of
the Korean conflict under condi
tions short of the objectives our
soldiers were led j to believe were
theirs to attain and for which so
many yielded their lives.
MacArthur's explosive speech
I was the first of five speeches h.
will make in the major cities of
the lone star state during the next
three days and iit clearly indi
cated the general intends to wag
