We (readers and publishers alike) depend on the'newsboys, and with very few exceptions they are among, the most dependable of mortals. Maybe that is because they are so young and so ambitious. They have that wonderful spirit of "come rain or sleet jor snow The Statesman must be delivered." They're young; a many-mile bicycle ride through the cold, wet, dark winter mornings doesn't faze them.) They're ambitious; they are independent merchants, buying their papers from us and selling them to you at a profit a source of income which enables many of these youngsters to put themselves through "It was really auita simple! . , .

They sacrificed the accumulations of centuries to preserve free dom far -themselves and for the rest of the world. Duty of the state liquor commission with re spect to taverns which operate gambling devices or games has been rather difficult to define. The state law does not make such operation ground for, revocation of license; and inspectors for the commission are not general policemen.

Labor is too socialistic for our taste, -and Churchill through his visits, his : speeches and writings and hi brave leadership during the war is very popular here. But if a . trurgftational government could be formed which would study British needs "through clear glasses and not through preconceptions and doctrinaire prejudices it might be: the thing that! Britain needs now. As for Churchill himself, his tenure j as "prime probably would be short because of his age.

J Mechanical progress in the newspaper busi ness has reached the point where,' with! a little help from editors, linotype operators and press men, machines and electricity do most of the work. Machines bring the ' news from all parts of the world to the newsroom.--Machines turn words on paper into words in lead. Machines 1 tuns the words in lead back into words on paper. But there aren't any machines to put the liquor selling those who violate other laws wil fully. f The commission has adopted the policy of hav ing its inspectors report facts about gambling in licensed places. These reports then will be turn ed over to district attorneys who are responsible for general law enforcement These reports will be matters of record,' and the D.A.S can hardly plead ignorance if they fail to act on Ihe in formation furnished them, j The next step needed is for authority in the office of the state attorney general to follow up these reports and see if they result in action. The commission is doing its Parr. Now if the dis trict attorneys will function a real blow will be given to violators of gambling laws who also operate taverns or hold liquor licenses.

Agreement of Joint Chiefs of Staff on Growth ur Mir rorce onows unmcanon vvoricina v a 7 j By Jaseph Alsop WASHINGTON, ! Oct. S The final settlement of the embittered controversy about the size of the air force was publicly announced yesterday. After ff,i,ja the - most nro- longed and la- V; , borious discus- v sion, which ; at one ' point kept t the joint chiefs of staff in al- r H most continuous . i J aays on en a, uie heads of the services have reached agree ment; among jmcth Alo- s The f)lan provides for expan sion of the air force from ninety five to about 140 groups the exact figure is still secret, but 1 this is the general scale. The in cpse in, over-all airpower will allow a much larger investment 1 In tactical airpower, thus rem edying our gravest weaxness in t " the air. On the basis of current scheduling, this great increment .a . a . vi American suengui wut uc . completed by 1954.

This : ' wtlt set the program started. I ;,; .. - In the two following fiscal years, the huge capital outlays Involved -in the expansion of the sin force will add about $10, 000.006.000 annually 'to the de fease budget. And, when the pe riod of capital spending is at an end, the air force expansion will result in a regular annual bill tor maintaining the armed farces If a utile under 140,000,000,000, luteal of about $33,000,000,000 is previously projected. is Jus loax been very obvlMs taat air foree expansion weald ; entaaUy be approved. In one , irm or another. The reason b - .that the air, force has net one, bat two main JobsIts own specialised Job of bnildlnf stra- ! . tejic air power, and Its co operative Job of providing tac tical 'air support to the ground forces. In the past, because of -budgetary and other pressures, the problem of tactical air has been neglected, -'j I j- When the present struggle started, the air staff prepared a plan for a 163 group air force, which was sponsored by Secre tary of Air Thomas K. Finletter and Gen. Hoyt S.S Vandenberg. This first air force plan involved an Increase in Strategic air power even greater than the projected increase for tactical ah power. It is understood that most of the saving in the less ambitious agreed plan of the joint chiefs : has " been achieved by holding down to strategic air increases.. ' On the whole, the most strik , Ing aspect of this eracial deci sion that the Joint chief have taken Is the manner of taking :. it What has happened repre sents a long, step forward on , the hard road toward genuine unification of the services, i ' - . - ; - i - - .;. The joint chiefs of staff them selves plunged into the. debate with far less venom and obstin acy than . in the past; and, the mere fact that they ; have been 'able to agree upon such a furi- - ously controversial subject as air force expansion is proof of enor mous progress. Now for the first time, the rule is recognized that - the American people are only to pay for- the armed forces they really need for their security. - - ' ;i: ; ! i - . This Is great change from the old rule of the Joint chiefs, that Increases ia appropriations for any slngie service aatomat leally led to -; Increases in the appropriations of the compet ing services, whether these were needed or not. . In the ' main, however, the agreement that has I now been , reached 4 signifies a ; triumph lor the civilian element of the de- zense estaDUsnment, and espe- largely created by the hard work of Lovtt, and by the constant efforts of the two coordinating committees composed respective ly of the service secretaries and under secretaries.! Moreover, the outlook for compromise was very far from hopeful even at the end of the period, some weeks 'age, when the Joint chiefs hardly left their conference table for 10 days on end. At that tune, their pros pective disagreement was re ported to Secretary Lovett. He had already established anoth er new principle, that he would no longer accept a simple "split paper", such as the Joint chiefs regularly produced in the past; bat would insist that a report ' of disagreement be accompan ied by a formal request from the. Joint chiefs for a final set tlement of their differences by. the civilian authority. !;- i When Lovett quietly indicated that his new principle would be insisted upon, the joint chiefs went back to work and hammer ed ojut their compromise. In ev ery way this is a great and re assuring event 1 (Copyright 1951. New York Herald Tribun Inc.) Better English By Dl C Williams -1. What Is wrong with thir Sentence?

Cinamon, clandes- Now what about having the state of Oregon buy' its own bonds? The first thing to under stand is that the money the state hais earmarked for special pur poses. The money in the general fund goes to meet current ex penditures. Money, in the high way fund goes for road building; In the school- fund for' schools; in the industrial accident fund to meet claims for accident compen sation. The state treasurer and the state bond commission do make certain investments of state money. When current receipts exceed current outgo short-tune Investments may be made. Then there are permanent funds which may be invested in long-time se curities, like the irreducible school fund, the retirement fund to meet pension claims, the seg regated accident fund to provide funds for payment of compensa4 tion to injured workmen or to beneficiaries of those who are deceased. The various trust funds aggre gate about $100,000,000 but they already are quite fully invested. They do not have any $40,000,4 000; idle which might be used to buy the state's bonus! bonds. Much of the state's long-term in vestment is in government bonds which pay around two and one half per cent To sell these bonds to provide cash would be to in cur a rather heavy loss because government's now are selling be low par. i ! j - ine interest rate on . a new Oregon bond issue would run around 1.85 per cent. So to sell governments and buy Oregon bonds would invite two losses, one of principal on the sale and one of income through the re duced rate of interest on Oregon oonds. . j Some of these trust funds are required to yield a higher rate of interest than state bonds pay!. The; accident fund is set up on a two per cent income basis, the retirement fund on two and one quarter per cent j j The state bond commission serving in a trustee capacity can not in honorable stewardship in volve these trust funds in losses of . principal or of income. The commission cannot impair funds for pensions of retired state workers or the compensation of 'permanently injured workmen or beneficiaries" of workers who haye lost their lives, in order to provide funds for the veterans' bonus. i ' j ii H The solution is a simple one, and that is to wait until credit restraints are eased. That will mean a delay, but surely not for a great many months. The state will not run out on the obligation it has assumed; but it will have to conform to the financial poli cies prescribed by the federal government in this time of crisis.
