General Nam 117 Will it be a,re newai -of negotiations for -an armistice or re sumption of all-out fighting? The choice! is up to ye and your superior whether in Peiping or Moscow. General Ridgwa? has anade that plain, and -be certainly has the backing of the Ameri cas people. For all this peace talk, either put up or shut up. And that goes for Jtussia, too, which has feeea fiddling on one "peace" string for' .months.' 7, - . t ! Wb started shooting, anyway? It wasn't South Sorea. It wasn't the United States. It vraarf t the UN; It was the reds of North Korea, supplied by Russia and assisted later by the red armies of China. Just a few simple gestures to ward peace wotftd be worth miles of peace pa rader and petitions and thousands of stucco peace doves. '. , The reds in Korea must face a dilemma. They can't more in either direction very easily. To resume war means a further spending of life and strain on the economy. To resume the 'armi stice negotiations would mean a confession of their own fraud and loss of face. j . General JRidgway stated the military situation in very plain language when he said on Satur- day: ' ' ' ' "The enemy cannot defeat the eighth army, lie cm bring in a million troops, but I'll be daranee Ji7he can supply them. - ,j He put his finger on the weakness of the reds. Manpower, yes, lots of it. But the more men they send in the greater the volume of muni tions end foods that must be furnished. The rea son some of their drives failed was they j over reached their supply lines. UN navies pretty well dominate the coastal routes and UN planes range pretty much at will over North jCorea.""If Russia would turn loose its far eastern subma rinesand fully engage its air fleets, then the situation would be much more difficult for UN arras. But if Russia does that, the chain reaction might precipitate war in Europe which Russia thus far pas avoided. 1 1 General' Nam n had better lose his face and get back in his seat at the green baize table... and be ready to talk settlement instead of to sit two hours doodling. , A Selections to West Point, Annapolis A congressman, John F. Kennedy of Massa chusetts, says the present system of al appointments to West Point and unrair ana - ODViousiy - is not producing we Dess men for, the service academies. - He cites, in an article in New York Times magazine, a com- : parison made by the war. department of records of congressional appointees and those admitted ; to West Point under competitive examination. That showed the latter group performed better, year after year, than the former. He also credits ; IKa Murf ftnl wi4H t tr. rt KAf4aw man A mm its entrance examination system than the mili tary and Jiaval academies da. The long-established system of admission to West Point has been through appointment of ; senators and congressmen. About half of the members or congress use some form or competi tive test; others do not. Final choice may be made on the basis either of qualifications, poli tical obligation or personal preference. , Congressman Kennedy believes that the cram schools used to boost appointees over the en trance examination hurdle have resulted in dis crimination against the boy without money to Taft vs. Truman' Probabiliry for 1952 Raco Declared Unsatisfying to Majority of Votes By Jaseph ad Stewart Also WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 The oddest feature of the present po litical situation is the dank but ' growing resig nation to a fu ture choice that , almost, no one wantsto have to make.

' ; Kennedy says that be has worked out a sys tem in which: those seeking appointments from his district must pass physical and mental ex aminations. Then they are interviewed by a spe cial selection board which makes the final rat' ings. He thinks this could be adopted by other congressmen with resulting good in the quality, of academy appointees. He concludes: j - We dare not continue to pick the men who , ; may direct another war with new weapons and i nw techniques by methods developed almost a century ago and shown to be wanting. There is ; no better place to begin than with the Improve- i ment of the process of selecting candidates for . the taro academies. Cor it is from these that tha , generals and admirals of tomorrow will be ; made, It would be a mistake to infer that the old system has been a complete failure. After all, it has 'given us very able military leadership. But such are the risks attending a poor quality of command that we ought to make sure that we get the best talent among those ambitions for a full-time military career. V All of us who love the Santiam country are sick at heart) over the burn which has spread from Sardine creek over the canyon. Many years ago the south! side of the Santiam canyon was burned over. Jits white snags, stood for years some do still. Steadily, though, -the regrowth covered the mountainside until the wounds of the old fire were pretty (veil healed. Now a fire has swept a portion of the canyon again, to leave a fresh forest of white spars and delaying for several score more years the harvest of another timber crop. The exact cause of this fire is not known except that it started in timber opera tions as haye most of the season's fires, al- though logging had been suspended. It is, in deed, disheartening to suffer this loss of value andlof beautir. if The SP it S railroad says it will take off its remaining one-train-a-day in passenger service on Its line to Astoria. The mayor of Astoria protests, but statistics indicate that the people themselves have put the train out of business. v The average haul was three or four persons per congression- train last year and Annapolis is as passengers; the first six months of 1951. At that rate what service Will the communities be losing? Trucks and buses will substitute for the train service, fas they have in fact for a long time. Except on main routes of travel, the rail road passenger train seems to be' doomed. Mile by mile, the highway system of .Oregon is getting modernized. The only trouble is that old roads become obsolete faster than the state can rebuild them. One new section, to be opened September 10 is the Algoma hill section north of Klamath Falls on Highway 87. The strip is 6.77' miles long but it cuts out a climb over the hill and shortens the route. Ceremonies to mark the opening of the section will be held on that date. . . v ' v ' ' v Senator Taft has been on a speaking tour in; Maine, his program being get up by Senator Brewster of that state, an ardent Taft supporter.
