He- said that injneft year's political campaigns "the art of misrepre sentation can be expected to reach new heights." ,YeUt will have to reach awfully high to get-aify higher than it was in his own address. J j He said "special interests" will attempt t$ bdy next year's election" just as they "poured rxionly into Ohio last year to elect a republican senator" On whose behalf does he think the most money was spent in the Ohio campaign? If he doesn't know, he could find out, j i j He also said he would "venture to predict that there is going to be more money spent in trying to defeat the democratic party next year thin has even been spent in an election in the history : of this republic." And what will his own ?arty spend, two-cent postcards? 1 " j The president virtually dared the republican party to make foreign policy its major campaign issue. And he exposes his own administration's greatest weakness by so doing. There is nothing like suggestive muddying of the waters to; tuj-n attention away from the domestic mess of ipetiy corruption. He declared the republicans would raise 'loud voices trying to destroy our faith n ourselves." And then he has the gall to intmate that the expected misrepresentation is all oh the one side.-' ; v President Truman talks like a politician :to whom a variance from the truth is nothing more than to-be-expected campaign exaggeration. le doesn't talk like a president keenly interested iin the welfare of the country as a whole. He; talks like some of his constituents! who, caught iii pet ty double-dealings, find their excuses oh the border-line of legality.

D. J. Russell,' who will succeed A. T. Mercier as president of SP on Decem ber 31st, spent most of his boyhood and some of his best working years in this state and likes to be thought of as an Oregonian. The thousands who work for SP will also be pleased because Russell; is one of those characters who is known as a railroad ers' railroad man, meaning that "he began swinging a pick with the section hands. , ; The man whom Mr. Russell succeeds is also a railroaders' railroad man. We recall our first meet ing with him in Eugene., The meeting was delayed because Mercier was busy greeting old friends en gineers and trainmen who had worked with him while he was superintendent of this division during World War I. At this meeting some mention was made of certain bridge. After 33 years Mercier , could quote all the facts about the bridge, including the number of, ties. : ') I- -I -"j' Railroads face tremendous" problems these days. Russell will not be able to solve all of them, al though he is the youngest man ever to become pres ident of Southern Pacific. The system stretches from New Orleans to Portland and from San Francisco to Ogden. It costs over $500-miUion a year to run such a railroad. Taxes are staggering. In Lane County alone, SP pays $875,800.22 this year. It" serves some of the fastest growing communities in the United States. The problem which Russell will have to face might be summarized in this way: .:.!.: r It is a race to earn the money to cover" constantly increasing operating costs and to find the capital to modernize equipment and meet expansion needs. They call Russell a "fundamentalist,"; meaning that his interest begins with the road bed. He is also a "progressive," although not likely to waste time or money on sensational changes. Like Mr. Mercier he will be a president that people can talk to. The best thing that ever happened to SP In our times was when headquarters were moved from New York to San Francisco some ten years ago. It is a western road and men who know the West are in charge; (Eugene Register-Guard)j -e p i T i 1 . -li. - : ; .-'.-ill I " " i- k ID " -O 1 if f . . . 9 , LabisliArea Farmer, Dies One of the first settlers of the Japanese-American colony at La- bish, and a prominent farmer in that area, Roy. K. Fukuda, died Tuesday at the age of 76. Fukuda. who came to Portland from Japan in 1893, settled in the Labish area in 1909, after spend ing some time in Idaho. For many years he ran a large vegetable farm, and also operated a service station and grocery store up until 1940, when that business was tak en over by his son. Most of the 25 families which lived at Labish before the war came on FukudaY recommenda tions, friends said, but most did not return to the area after the war. Born in Japan in 1875, he came to the United States in 1893. He returned to Japan two years later where he was married. His widow, Mrs. Nobu Fukuda, survives him. He was president for about six years of the Labish Meadows Cel ery Growers union during the twenties. . Besides bis widow, he is sur vived by- one son. Frank of Sa lem; two daughters. Mrs. J. Y, Tanaka, and Mrs. Suzie Shimizu, both of Portland; a brother, Joe Y. Fukuda of Salem. His sister.

He was subjected to end less interrogation. When he made truthful replies as to his activi ties in the country, the interro gator rejoined: "Lies, lies, lies. Everything you say is a lie." For 65 hours he was subjected to alternate' questioning! of four hours, then a similar period of writing his "confession; Elec tric lights were focused on his eyes steadily. He was given very little food. He was doused in cold water; and shaken. He re ported no drugs unless they were in the cigarets or coffee fur ; nished him. Finally at the end of 71 days of physical abuse and interrogation he was in such a state of despondency that he was ready to sign anything. He says that tin the confession they fi nally cooked up for him there are some 200 admissions which could not possibly have been true. For example, he -'said he was a colonel in the U;. S. army which was untrue; he had merely been a lieutenant in the naval reserve. ! j i The Vogelerf report has been duplicated by others who have experienced communist justice 'and survived to tell about it. How is it possible that truth and justice can be so perverted? Why doesn't revolution break out? How can it be possible that Hun gary, and other satellite countries have succumbed to this reversion of sadistic barbarism? The an swer must be that the very meth od serves as its j own policeman. People do not revolt because they fear the consequences. j j. But this other question -protrudes: How; can the western ideal of truth j and justice 4 and the communist ! ideology survive; aide by side?! They're so utterly alien, it would j seem that sooner or later one: inust devour the other. The Vogeler story ' shows the ruthless, terroristic face of communism ij Which has been blown anto a Teligion east of the iron curtain; It is so frightening that it should shock all who are outside the Soviet dominion into determination; to resist its fur ther advanceand to pray and work for the liberation of those now in its thraldom.

Jr. Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON, Nov. 2(HV As expected, the approach of Britain's new conservative gov ernment to f or- e i g n relations, as outlined by Anthony Eden to parliament, leaves the gen eral situ ation tiniKantfaH Even on the r '. ' specific issues of . Iran and Egypt J the new foreign j I minister largely I V ..; , follows the tack VmI fl a already laid down by his predecessor. In the case Of Iran there is perhaps a slight clarification of the British view that a straight busines deal can be made for oil operations within the principal of Iranian nationalization of the properties. With regard to broad world policy directly involving the con flict with Russia, Eden takes a line which is neither new, star tling nor very promising. He thinks the best approach is an effort to reach agreement on small matters, one at a time, and so build up an aera of mutual confidence which will contribute to the ultimate handling of major issues. i The trouble with this Is that the smallnes of communist ap-. preach makes all matters look large. They take Just as much Tare la breaking a man like traf fic executive Robert Vogeler or reporter Bill Oatis, so that they may obtain a "confession" and trial for proparanda purposes, aa they do In baildinr P the at mosphere for breaking a neigh borinr country. It is standard practice for them to try to use the smaller mat- ! ters, such as Trieste, Austria and Korea, the settlement of Ameri can lend-lease or a border ap proach by a lost airplane, to ob scure their major operation, which is world conquest. Eden found out for himself la Paris that there was na chink anywhere for penetration " of' a peace idea jthrongh the Iron cur tain. Or perhaps we should say that he feeornized the sitwaUon, rather than discovering it. t I ' It has been plain for a long time that Russia had no inten tion of making peace, or of tak ing any step which would allevi ate the world chaos created by her foreigri policy. la Raslas campaign ta keep the west anse tiled, many small matters are, Just as good and per haps better, than one large one.

Blakeslee Associated press Science Reporter ST. PAUL, Nov. 20-flP)-Svn-thetic milki for pigs, promising more and maybe cheaper pork thops and bacon, was announced tonight ; - Newborn piglets can be taken from their mothers within 48 hours and Raised entirely on the synthetic sow's milk. It contains a growlh-stimulating antibiotic, terramycin.1. . ; Piglets fgrow faster and 'heav ier, are safer from disease and ac cident and ! more piglets can be produced with it, said Herbert G. Luther, research scientist associ ated with Chas. Pfizer it Co Brooklyn, N. Y. He described the milk, Terrajac (trade name) to a symposium on animal nutrition at the University of Minnesota. After eight weeks, piglets get ting the, synthetic milk weigh 10 to 35 pe cefit more than normally suckled pig, he said. White Powder The synthetic is a dry, white powder, s looking like pie-crust mix. It "contains terramycin, dry skim milk, ard to supply fat, fish oils, tiny amounts of minerals and vitamins.; It's mixed with water. Except for the fish oils, it tastes like heavy fnilk. The cost: is 35 to 40 cents a pound, and 3 a pig uses 12 pounds before it's weaned, Luther said. A concentrated form, to which the farmer! could -add his own skim milk, will be cheaper. For several reasons, the milk promises k more pigs for more food, Luther declared. Can Save Extras A sow .usually can nurse only eight to 10 piglets. The others born to ,hej are often killed off. Now the 'extras can be saved. Sows can be bred to produce biszer litters. And could he hred to produce Jup to three litters a year, insieaa oi one or iwo. ag lets usually suckle for 56 days, during which the sow can't be bred or marketed. I , , Sows are! clumsy and lumber ing, and often kill their young by accident! Luther added. Low Mortality Mortality? among . 3,500 piglets raised on the synthetic milk has been only five per cent from di sease and accident, he said. The national average is 21 to 33 per cent I I Antibiotics are put in . poultry feeds to stimulate growth and re duce disease. The synthetic milk lets it b$ dbne for pigs. Luther said a possibility now Is pig nurseries, raising young pigs for farmers much like chick hatcheries faise chicks. He reported 500 pigs have been raised successfully in a laboratory in Brooklyn, and 3,000 more on several large pig farms. The pigs are kept; warm by heat lamps or steam. They drink the milk from a troughi and most learn to do it quickly. Slow learners are trained on a row f nursing bottle nip ples. h : - t Piglets' like to sleep, and have to be wakened for regular feed ings, he said. Sows grunt to wake the youngsters.
