Elfatrom to Liquor Board
It has been no secret that Governor McKay
bit been trying to persuade Robert L. Elfstronv
Salem's former mayor, to accept theposition on
the state liquor commission which -Carl Hogg
months ago asked to be relieved of- That would
hi a good appointment. Elfstrom is a man with
business experience and political experience as ,

of high principle who would not compromise on
high standards of administration.
The attacks last winter on the liquor admin
istration were overwrought, and the Multnomah
county grand jury did not question the integrity
oi the commission and the administrator. Diffi
culties have been due largely to internal bick
ering and uncertainty which can be cleared '
without difficulty. If Elfstrom accepts the re
sponsible office (with its promise of much la
bor, man kicks and few rewards) he embraces
an opportunity for rendering important public
service. The Statesman hopes that he will ac
cept, assures him of its support in administering
the law in accordance with its original intent of,
controlling a. traffic which has a tendency to
outlawry; at the same time dealing fairly with :
the various interests engaged in the business.
Teamsters Union Stresses Safety
Boss truckers are not the only ones instruct
ing their truck drivers in good manners as over-the-road
drivers. The teamsters' union works at .
the same job steadily. It ia- insistent that its '
members handle their trucks safely and with
due regard, to other users of the highway. They i
realize as do employers that this is good busi-
nets, protecting them in their jobs against the -fury
of vengeful motorists rebelling-against a
poibIe truck road-hog. The Oregon Teamster, .
organ of the union endorses four. basic rules for
good conduct in truck driving, editorializing as
fallows: , .. . .
Many truck drivers have joined In making a
pledge to observe four basic highway rules in
the nationwide Share the Road campaign. These
rulas are: -
1. Maintain sufficient distance between your
, vehicle and, the one ahead.
2. Drop back to a safe following distance
s whenever, you attempted to pass and find the .
wy nofclear;; -- ,- - - .
. 3. Make every, effort to permit following
traffic to pass on long grades by pulling over on
the shoulder,: if possible.
4. Permit, delayed traffic fc pass after you
reach the top of any long grade. ,
Observance of these four conditions will go a
long way toward removing the cause of public '
complaint against the trucking industry.
But trucks would be better able to abide by
rules No. 3 and 4 If Oregon highways provided
more "turn-out shoulders on grades.
It's our observation that truck drivers are
both skilled and courteous and ready to lend a
hand to a motorist in distress. V

WASHINGTON, July f 10
There is a tairly simple explana

Gaesong the
talks about a
cease-fire, as a
prelude to an
armistice, as a'
prelude to
peace , negotia
tions, which are
carried on while
the Korean
fighting also
continues. T h e
cease-fire and
armistice- are In
fart expected to
be the last serious acts of the
Korean drama.
No doubt, when and if the gen
erals and -admirals successfully
complete their labors at Kaesong,

Hua clearly hold this view.
Hence, the North Korean and
Chinese representatives are try

agreement clauses that belong in
the final settlement, such as pro
vision for withdrawal- of all for
eign troops from Korea. Equally,
the same view is held by the
leading personalities in Wash

why Vice Admiral Joy and his
delegation are proceeding with

son Juan Carlos who would become king under
a regency. This might be window-dressing for
a continuation of flan gist rule with Franco the
dictator.
, Truth is that Spain Is sick, seriously sick. Its
economy has deteriorated progressively until
'Strikes have been called with blessings both of
priests and industrialists. These general strikes,
as the one at Barcelona, were not leftist, or com
munist. They were popular reactions against in
tolerable living conditions. What Spain needs is
not, a restored, royal house but some form of
government which will restore economic health
to the now impoverished country.
President Truman admitted that the attitude
of the United States toward Spain was being
changed for military reasons. In other words we
Stomach! our qualms oyer the Franco govern
ment to get concessions of military bases in
Spain. The bargain is questionable. Our money
payments may be enough to keep Franco in
power, but without a thorough, reconstruction
of Spain's government and reorganization of its
economy the people still will suffer: Politically
the alliance with Franco is a liability, and is
scorned by Britain and France.
We realize that in the game of world politics
a country, makes use of both right and . left
hands. In this case however the deal for aid to
Spain appears to be forced on the administra
tion by zeal of the military for bases and pres
sures of men like Sen. McCarrert of Nevada. In
' our opinion the best aid to Spain would ' be
through establishment "of a. new government
there rather than .through propping up Franco.
' A limited monarchy would be tolerable (though
expensive) if it was accompanied by an en-
lirhtenptfl administration which th RnanJsh t-tw. -
pie want and ought to have.
Gas Companies Escape Regulation
' A year ago President Truman showed his
nerve when he ' vetoed a bill sponsored by Sen.
Robert Kerr of Oklahoma, a staunch democrat.
This bill would have exempted certain produc
ers of natural gas from regulation by the feder
al power commission. That veto was hailed as a.
victory for consumers because otherwise certain
big producers of natural gas escaped regulation
as to the tates they might charge.
, ;. But "t now the federal power commission (of
which Mon Wallgren the president's crony is
chairman) has ruled that Phillips Petroleum
company is not subject to regulation In the sale '
of its natural gas. This cuts the ground from
under the feet of those cities seeking to get
regulation of the price of gas at wholesale. Phil
lips Petroleum's reserves of natural gas are
among the very largest in the United States,
running into the trillions of cubic feet Other
companies whose primary business is oil refin
ing are; in the same category and presumably
now: will escape regulation in fixing prices for
their natural gas. ,
Mon Wallgren says he is going to resign from
the FPC. From the standpoint of the public in
terest it would appear that there should ba
more resignations from that -body.
The $25,000,000 appropriation to provide re
lief to victims of the Kansas-Missouri floods Is
but a drop in the bucket of the estimated three
quarters of a billion in damages. But it will pro
vide immediate care food and medicines and
shelter. Flood waters are remorseless) 01 Man

even although this means that
the somewhat desultory lighting
Is thereby prolonged.
,
The reasons for this view are
also plain enough. After a cease
fire and armistice, each side will
Jhold roughly half of Korea.' Each
. will demand a final settlement
on its own terms the United
Nations calling for a settlement
responsive to the wishes of the
Korean people; the -communists .
demanding a "democratic" set
tlement which will ensure com
munist control of the country.
This sort of negotiation Is doom
ed to deadlock before it begins.
What then will be the conse
quences, if the bitter, bloody war
in Korea simply tails out into a
cease-fire and armistice, without
the formal peace agreement that
customarily concludes wars?
Where will it leave as? Not too
badly off, appears to be the an-
swer. - f -
It is possible, in the first place,
that defense of the post-armistice
status quo can eventually be
left to a greatly strengthened .

the American forces are thus

and negative.

denounced by the same senators
who have attacked the adminis
tration for being overly hasty ia
recalling American troops from
1 1 .
Korea three years ago. Yet Gen.
MacArthur himself .planned, to '
leave U. N. forces in Korea for
several years, at the time when ,
he expected to conquer the whole,
country.
Third, on the larger question
of peace treaty vs. no peace
treaty, there is one advantage In
having no peace treaty that al
most no one seems to have
thought of. In brief, the an
nounced American policy is to
. neutralize Formosa for the dura
tion of the Korean wan and this'
XwnbTSrM?
But if the Korean war is form
ally terminated, and we stlil seek
to continue the neutralization of
Formosa, we shall run into the
worst trouble with our allies and
in the United Nations x that we
have seen yet. In blunt language,
, we will not have a leg to stand
on, and the resulting ruckus will
risk splitting the Western alli
ance. On the other hand, if the Kor
ean fighting just tails out into a
cease-fire, armistice, and dead
locked peace negotiation, ? the
whole status quo will be perpet
uated. including the neutraliza
tion of Formosa-:' It can and will
be continued, junder these con
ditions, without too much diffi
culty. And to we shall be bor
rowing a useful leaf from the
book of the other side. '
The plain truth is that this
wind-up of the Korean fighting
is a rather special test of Ameri
can political sophistication. Shall
we. because there is no formal
peace, feel cheated?' Shall we,
because there is no more war, re
lax our whole defense effort? In
that: case, we shall be proven
fools.: Or shall we soberly take
- the result In Korea for what it is
a handsome though not de
cisive victory and go on with
our "defense effort, because we
realize that no local victory wi3

us? , In that case, rrs ttill be
