It Should Not Happen Again
The war-time relocation of Japanese and
Japanese-Americans a regrettable event of the
war is having renewed repercussions in the
courts.
Yoshio Marukami is suing in Portland to re
cover the American citizenship he renounced
while he was incarcerated at Tule Lake 10
years ago. We don't pretend to know the cir
cumstances surrounding Marukami's renuncia
tion, which he claims was forced by other in
ternees. Nor are we warranted in going into
this specific case while decision is pending.
But it can be said that one of the surprising
factors in the overall relocation was that so few
actually renounced their citizenship under cir
cumstances which could not have aroused other
trftn bitterness. There were American citizens,
albeit of Japanese origin, living in veritable
hovels one well-to-do Fresno physician had
his medical books stacked in apple-boxes for
book shelves in a room with one window, one
chair and a crate for a table. They had been
yanked from their property and their jobs with
no assurance whatever as to what would hap
pen to the material things they had gathered
in many years of work. Families were separated
in some instances, to be reunited months later
if and when suspicion of disloyalty involving
one or the other were unproven.
The War Relocation Authority in the main
did as good a job as could be expected in the
mass movement. Better facilities gradually
were provided in the centers. But even in the
height . of war-time fervor it was a sobering
experience to visit the ever-expanding grave
yard in the lonely sands of the Tule Lake basin
in Northern California. Many persons died at
Tule Lake and at other relocation centers. They
weren't abused, in a physical sense. But the
awful nothingness of their future in the country
of their adoption did not make for longevity or
patriotism.
Relocation centers at times held up to 20,000
persons- In any group of that size, there are
miscreants, there 'is periodic violence, there is
deSth. And in i these cases there were uncer
tainty, loneliness and fear. More than 100,000
persons, and a good many of them citizens of
the United States, lived for years under these
conditions. It is not good to recall. But it should
be recalled. It should not happen again. W. W.
Unrest in Arjgjlorld
Tunisia, the country In Norths Africa under
French rule, is the latest in the Arab world to
kick up its heels. Egypt is still in ferment over
the demands of Jts government that Britain
evacuate the Suez Canal zone. People of Iran
are endorsing at elections the policies of Pre
mier Mossadegh which led to ousting the Anglo
Iranian Oil Company. Now rioting is reported
in Tunisia which has independence aspirations.
And over in French Morocco the natives are
restless. Its Sultan would like to get rid of the
French who still hold a tight rein, on Moroccan
affairs.
Part of this unrest may be due to the resent
ment of Arabs against Western support for the
new State of Israel. More probably is due to thi
stirring of ideas t)f independence and freedom
stimulated after the world war.
The problem is a difficult one. Geographic
cally the Middle East is so sensitive that Europe
cannot put out and leave it to some other ad-
Soviet Wooing India's Favor by Supporting
Indian Position in Volatile Kashmir Dispute
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Moscow's wooing of India is
ominous, but it should not have
surprised world -statesmen in the
United Nations.
The Soviet statement in Paris
late last week, supporting the
Indian position in the Kashmir
dispute with Moslem Pakistan,
was part of a calculated gamble
in which the stakes are high.
At first glance, it might seem
that Moscow risked alienating
the Moslem world" by throwing
the Soviet weight behind the
Indian position in Kashmir. It
will, in fact, irritate Moslem gov
ernments. But Moscow is not interested in
Moslem governments or any
other governments as such. Gov
ernments are merely "ruling cir
cles" in the Stalinist vocabulary.
The Reds will continue to ex
ploit nationalist sentiment in
those countries at every oppor
tunity. In the waiting came,
while the Arab world plums are
ripening- for the Kremlin's har
vesters, an apparent setback will
be risked for immediate grains in
a highly fruitful area, the Far
East.
Moscow signalled its . India
punch a long time back, when the
Indian Communist - Party was
shaken up at Kremlin direction.
The party's policy changed
from harassment and obstruction
to infiltration. Those Commu
nists who insisted upon continu ing
the policy of violence in In
dia were weeded out.
The boss of the Indian Coi
manlst Party, A. Ghosh, an
nounced the policy of his aarty
in October, as India prepared for
her national elections.' Pravda
carried it. The platform was
keyed to what Ghosh called "the
struggle for a united democratic
front for a people's democratic
government.
The aim of the Communists,
said Secretary - General Ghosh,
would be to join all "progressive"
groups In India, including the -Revolutionary.
Socialists, the
"Forward Bloc, the Peasants
Part" -"d others, -to push a rro -
mwnmb MM
venturer. The North Africans are ill-equipped
to govern themselves, though poverty-stricken
Libya is making an attempt at it.
As with other present problems this one calls
for a wise combination of firmness and patience
and a greater attempt at understanding.
Six More for
Oregon will get six more delegates to the
GOP national convention eighteen in place of
the twelve of 1948.
This is a "bonus" because the state voted for
Dewey in 1948. Last time each of the four con
gressional districts had two delegates and four
were elected at large. The state committee will
have to decide the apportionment of the 18 for
1952. Probably three will be authorized for each
of the congressional districts and six at large;
or it may be that each district will get four with
two left to be chosen at large.
Already candidacies for delegates are popping
up, so there will be plenty of aspirants for the
18 places. For those with a flair for politics it
is a coveted honor to serve as delegate to the
national convention. They get in on the color
and excitement; and if they are nimble in their
voting shifts they catch the bandwagon of the
successful candidate before it passes.
Dave IngalLs warned Republicans in San Fran
cisco against picking a "glamor candidate."
Glamor is what his favorite candidate Bob Taft,
is distinguished for not having. But Dave may
get the rival camps mad at him by his thrusts
and barbs. Presumably he was looking ahead at
Eisenhower, but he might have been looking
back at Tom Dewey.
The first and only head of the Veterans' Hos
pital at Portland has been Dr. Paul I. Carter.
Now, after a long career in the army medical
service Dr. Carter is to retire on January 31st.
He has been a very able administrator of this
great institution ;and is highly respected as a
Northwest neighbor. His friends are legion, both
among ex-servicemen and others. They will
miss him at the hospital, but they wish him
many years of healthy, happy living in his well
earned retirement.
The remark of a congressman after visiting,
President Truman to the effect that Harry
never runs away from a fight and never will
quit under fire is interpreted to mean he will
run again for President. If that is correct Harry,
like his predecessor, will never quit voluntarily;
for he is bound to be under fire as long as his
address is on Pennsylvania Avenue.
We had not thought of Senator Langer of
North Dakota as a wit; but when Prime Min
ister Churchill's ship was nearing America he
wired Boston to hang out the lantern in the
tower of did North Church (see Paul Revere's
ride). And a New York financial publication
with hand on purse was mean enough to report
the. item with the heading "Two If by Sea."
Ambassador Stanton Griffis at Madrid is re
ported to b packing for a return to the USA.
So it may be that J. Howard McGrath will be
"promoted" upstairs to Griffis' post in Spain.
That is a familiar way of clearing decks in the
Capital. President Hoover "elevated" aging
Andrew Mellon from the Treasury Department
to become ambassador to Britain.
gram of "national independence,
liquidation of feudaUsmrtransfer
of the land to the peasants" and
for a government "representing
workers, peasants, middle class
and the national bourgeoisie."
"The Communist Party," re
ported Pravda, "declared that it
would aim at creating a bra: d
popular unity, a lasting funda
mental unity of the working class
and peasants,"
This is a classic design. Should
a leftist bloc win parliamentary
strength in India, the Commu
nists would proceed to dominate
it against the future day when
they could betray it, as they be
trayed leftists elsewhere in the
Communist world. Some early
returns have indicated an up
surge in Indian leftist strength.

AFRAID IN THE DARK,
by Mark Derby ( Viking ;$3
It happens this-a-way: Captain
Patrick Derrex is freed from an
institution where he has been
recovering from too severe men
tal shocks. Instead of going on to
medical advice which might cure
him permanently of such things
as claustrophobia, he returns to
his old home, Bucksbridge Manor
House. He breaks in; looks the
place over, reflecting on the
changes wrought by Ivor Moun
tain, who tricked his father out
of the family property; rifles a
safe and takes away a photo of
an unknown Eurasian; is chased
and, with the help of the maid
Rose to whom he had once made
love, escapes. ; v
Then it goes on this-a-way: He
throws away the photo, only later
to read an ad offering a big re
ward for it. He learns that it was
a picture of Makota, torturer,
sadist and, in short, devil in the
flesh . . . and perhaps the sort of
a man who had left Derrex him
self a wreck when he was a war
prisoner. He is promised practic
alhr a fortune.!! .he'll en and tuU.
Oregon
But meanwhile there are im
mediate gains for the U.S.S.R. in
prospect through the Kashmir
moves. The' Soviet economic of
fensive Is In full swing and In
dia is a prime target Moscow
wants close trade relations with
a country which holds a domi
nating position among the non
Communist nations of the East.
Moscow would like to maneu
ver India out of her middle
position in the cold war and into
the Red camp, and it has seen
signs in some public Indian pro
nouncements that this might be
achieved. The Kremlin would
like to destroy Anglo-American
influence in this big and potenti
ally powerful country. It would
be an important step toward en
veloping the whole Asian conti
nent. him. So he sets off for the Far
East, and Rose goes with him.
That's only the start of what
the jacket calls a "book of enter
tainment, suspense, and adven
ture. We go to Malaya; follow
ing Makota's dangerous trail, we
find a man freshly killed, and
the stench of older corpses, and
the ominous forecast of more to
come. The forecast is realized in
a climax filled with action.
So it doesn't sound very plaus
ible? Well it isn't. Just as you
can't "have everything in one
horse, you can't have everything
in one book, not if it's the usual
book. This one provides excite
ment and thrills, and yet it is the
work of a careless craftsman. He
could have given us more thrills,
but didn't take the trouble to; he
could have developed some of the
shadier implications, but never
got around to it. Indeed, Derby
promises more than the jacket,
and doesnt deliver.
The book was brought over
from England, where it was pub
lished as "Malayan Rose. It
adds to my growing suspicion
that books coming into 1952 are
not putting their best foot for
ward. ...... . ...... .
Your Health
Two newly discovered drugs,
ACTH and cortisone, are offer
ing relief to sufferers from many
skin diseases.
Diseases of the skin include
some of the commonest and most
annoying disorders, such as acne,
which eventually disappear. At
the other extreme, they include
some of the deadliest of all dis
eases. Skin diseases also cause
more or less serious social Drob
- lems for the patient since some
of the lesions are on surfaces
where they can be seen.
I am sure, therefore, that many
readers will welcome the news
concerning effects Of the new
drugs. In recent tests, ACTH and
cortisone were used in treating 19
different skin disorders. Some
conditions that are most difficult
to control showed beneficial re
sults. For example, five cases of
lupus erythematosus, an incura
ble disease, were treated in this
way with good results.
Some patients in this group
suffered from pemphigus, a dis
ease which causes large hemorrhage-filled
blisters, and is also
incurable. A few of these patients
showed remarkable improve
ment. Exfoliative dermatitis Is a con
dition in which the skin of vari
ous parts of the body peels off in
scales. It occurs when the skin is
oversensitive to certain drugs.
Many such cases have been cured
with ACTH and cortisone.
Certain types of severe psori
asis and Hodgkin's disease of the
skin were also helped.
Persons who are allergic to
various materials sometimes are
afflicted with blisters, pimples, or
Inflammation of the skin. These
skin reactions can often be con
trolled with various types of in
jections. Certain severe allergic
reactions of the skin, which do
not respond to the usual treat
ment, have done well when treat
ed with ACTH and cortisone.
It must be emphasized that
these drugs cannot be considered
permanent cures for the types of
skin disease I have mentioned.
Treatment must be continued
over a long period; most patients
have a relapse after the treat
ment Is stopped. However, the
drugs do offer new hope of re-

lieving the distressing symptoms
for a considerable length of time.
It is also important to note chat
the drugs may rarely produce
various complications in certain
patients such as swelling of the
ankles, darkening of the skin and
some confusion in thinking. For
this reason, ACTH and cortisone
must always be given under the
supervision of a physician, who
will watch for any undesirable
effects and alter the treatment
accordingly.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
L. M. T.: I have occasional feel
ings of pressure in my throat and
a frequent urge to vomit. Some
times when I do vomit, I notice
that food I have eaten several
days ago is present. What could
be causing this?
Answer: The symptoms you de
scribe might be caused by a di
verticulum of the esophagus.
The esophagus is the tube be
tween the throat and the stom
ach. In this condition there is a
pouch present in the normally
straight tube. The pouch holds
back much of the food and keeps
it from getting into the stomach.
This disorder can be corrected
by surgery.

MORE PARK FACILITIES
To the Editor:
What is the matter with the
park and recreational directors of
Salem?
We are in need of more park
facilities and a municipal golf
course. A suitable piece of land
within the city limits is available
for a mere pittance. What do we
get? A yawn and a feeble excuse
from the city authorities, while
Salem lags behind many cities of
far smaller population.
Let's have an awakening make

Ike's Backers
Claim Gains at
San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (TV-Backers
of four major presidential candi
dates claimed added strength for
their camps as Republicans left
San Francisco Sunday after a
mid-winter National Committee
meeting.
Supporters of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower were openly Jubilant
in their professed belief that they
had made inroads into an organi
zation that is regarded widely as
leaning toward the presidential
candidacy of Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio.
Taft's backers said they were
satisfied they had improved what
they called their leading position
in the race despite the announce
ment of Eisenhower that he is a
Republican and available for the
Party nomination.
Made Headway
Gov. Earl Warren of California
and his aides seemed to think they
had made some headway toward
changing what they regard as the
conservative tinge of the Commit
tee. Former Gov. Harold E. Stassen
of Minnesota appeared satisfied
that he had convinced important
Republicans o is in the race on
his own ar:u not as a stalking
horse for Eisenhower.
Vigorous Battle
There were signs, however, that
neither Taft nor the Eisenhower
camp feels confident at this time
there will be any such result and
both expect a vigorous battle up
to and within the convention.
There was no doubt that many
in the Eisenhower camp fervent
ly hope the General will be able
to come home from Europe in
March or April and campaign as
a civilian, despite his statement
he will not participate in pre
convention activities in his behalf.
Some of his rooters say private

General in a "draft" movement
will be extremely difficult.

London Papers Doubt Princess
To Marry Earl of Dalkeith
LONDON CTV-The consensus of London newspapers Sunday was
that Princess Margaret isn't going to marry the Earl of Dalkeith
after all. ;
The newspapers, who had ben boosting the freckle-faced six
footer as the Princess probable choice, were generally agreed now
that he was just a cnuanooa inena.
Only one newspaper, the Em
pire News, stucx xo lis romanuc
guns. It said the Earl might even
accompany thi King and Queen
and Princess Margaret , on their
visit to South Africa in March.
But the rest of the papers swung
far to the other side.
The Sunday Pictorial said it had
on good authority that the Prin
cess will not become engaged to
the Earl "they are just good
friends and nothing more."
Ought to Relax
The Sunday Dispatch agreed.
Renynolds News thought every
body ought to relax and quit try
ing to marry off the young Prin
cess. The newspaper said the Earl
was just one more chapter in the
"royal romance serial" conjured
up for the Princess, and suggested
that "the British press should
treat her marital future with more
dignity and restraint."
Save on Income Tax
On page five in the same edi
tion the newspaper published a
cartoon showing the backs of two
hunters the King had the Earl
'as his shooting partner all this
past week and with this cap
tion: "You know, my dear Earl, if
you get married before April you
get 80 pounds income tax rebate
for this year."
The Earl is 28 and has just
about everything in his favor for
marrying into the Royal family.
He is heir to the Duke of Buc
cleuch, one of the richest peers
of the kingdom. His aunt, the
Duchess of Gloucester, is a sister-in-law
of King George VI.
Walter John Francis Montagu-Douglas-Scott
is the Earl's full
name. He has known Margaret
since she first began to have birth
day parties in the schoolroom she
shared with Princess Elizabeth in
Buckingham Palace.
She calls him Johnny.
Margaret is 21 -years-old enough
and forthright enough 'to speak
her own mind. Since her 17th
birthday she has .been dated and
squired by countless young bloods.
Some of them gave up the chase
and married other girls.
Faithful Suitor
But Johnny was always in the
background the faithful suitor.
It's almost a classic case of the
shy, adoring boy next door oeing
kept on the hook by the most
popular girl in town except that
Margaret and Johnny were usually
separated by hundreds of miles.
But there were always family
parties to bring them together. At
these, the merry-eyed young Prin
cess would stay up half the night
dancing, distributing her favors
impartially.
But in the morning, her petite
figured covered in a heavy coat
and her dark hair mantled with
a gay scarf, she could often be seen
striding across the moors or fields
of Scottish thistledown beside the
lanky Earl hurrying her steps
to keep pace with his long strides
and chatting easily about every
thing in the world.
Hear About London
Then she would be off, and the
Earl would hear about her visiting
the theaters and cabarets of Lon
don's gay Mayfair, which she loves,
or vacationing in Paris or Italy.
The Early would go back to sup
ervise his father's vast estates and
working with his gun dogs until
the next party and a chance to be
with the pretty Princess once
again.
It was during one of those re
unions recently, while Margaret
was visiting the Earl's family in
Scotland, that a spark may have
ignited this long-time friendship
and sent it flaring inVo full-blown
love.
Everything points that way.
Impetously, it seemed, Margaret
broke away from the gathering
and rushed back to England with
starlight gleaming in her eyes.
She went right to Sandringham
Lodge, where the King had gone
for some shooting, and had a long
talk with her mother and father.
The next day a new guest arrived
at Sandringham.
It was Johnny.
Hunting with the Men
He wasted no time getting better
acquainted with the menfolks of
the Royal family. The very next
morning after breakfast with
Margaret and her family he
went out hunting with the King
and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prin
cess Elizabeth's handsome hus
band. The threesome must have hit it
off because the tall, young noble
man stayed on at Sandringham
for quite a few breakfasts.
The Princess loves dancing, fun
and games all the sophisticated
shine of society.
The Earl acts and dresses like
a country squire despite his youth.
He dislikes society life, but there
are fields of mutual interest.
Both are fond of horses and dogs.
They appreciate music, although
Margaret's tastes run more to light
pieces and the Earl's to classics.
No Housing Problem
If they do marry, there should
be no houetng problem.
The Duke of Buccleauch owns
five homes and a half million acres
strung through eight counties. The
family seat is Bowhill, in Selkirk
shire, Scotland.
If Dalkeith does place a ring on
Margaret's third finger, left hand,
the engagement probably won't be
announced until after she returns
from a Royal cruise to South Af
rica in the spring.
By coincidence, perhaps, when
the Duke of Edingburgh reached
an understanding with Princess
Elizabeth five years ago the fam
ily also was : about to set off for
South Africa.
Princess Elizabeth had to wait
until she got back before her mom
and dod announced the big news.
That might have set a Royal)
precedent. -

UMT Aims as
'Destructive'
WASHINGTON VP) The basis
aim of universal military training
is militaristic dominance over the)
minds of the nation's young men,
the National Council against Con
scription said Sunday. ;
The plan now proposed, it as
serted, would "drastically change
the character of our democracy
and virtually destroy the changes
and preventing a Third World
War.'' It said the proposal works
on the theory that "war is inevit
able" and leaves no room for any
policy aimed to "eliminate the con
ditions of poverty or the sources
of hatred like imperialism upon
which both Communism and So
viet foreign policy thrive."
It denied every major argument
advanced in favor of UMT, start
ing out by disagreeing with .the
basic assumption that the United
States is really "unprepared.
In summation of its arguments
against the plan, the council as
serted that it would force every
American boy "as a matter of per
manent national policy, to be ei
ther a conscript or a convict.- In
either case freedom is lost."
The criticism appeared in a 40
page bookiet circulated to all mem
bers T)f Congress as a reply to the
report of the National Security
Training Commission.
The commission, under an as
signment from Congress, has pre
pared a plan for the actual op
eration of UMT and is now pre
senting it to the House Armed
Services Committees.
The Council Against Conscrip
