Its three judges upheld bis conviction for perjury when he swore he had never been a member of the Communist Party. It "affirmed also the order revoking his citizenship and the conviction of ' Bridges and two of his aides on charges of conspiracy in connection with the Bridges nat uralization hearings in 1945. Bridges and his associates will appeal the case to the U. S. Supreme Court, so it will be a good many months before the issues finally "are decided. '' Bridges has been , a1 storm center in labor negotiations on this, coast ever since 1934, the time of the great longshore strike. While his union thinks the present cases are inspired by employers, that seems doubtful. Employers have learned to live with Bridges, tough though he is as labor negotiator. At least he isn't as erratic as his arch-foe Harry LundeberjE of the Sailors' Union. And West Coast dock work is free from the notorious "shape-up" of the East -Coast docks. 1 . The proceedings were initiated by the De partment of J us tic after Bridges denied Com munist affiliation to his naturalization hearing. The jury which heard the' evidence- brought in a verdict of conviction of perjury. As far as the public is concerned the cases are going on under due process of law. So let the highest court in the land review them. . Naguib Washes Out Premier This -Maj. Gen.

He thinks he was beguiled by the Russians when he crossed Siberia in 1944 and was shown only the better side of life in the Soviet Union he heard nothing and saw nothing of the slave labor camps where workers are exploited by Reds. He says he is proud of risking his public career "for the sake of promoting peace:" What I wanted was peace, but not peace at the price of Communist domination.. I thought the Soviets had more sense than to do what -they have been doing during the past few -years. And his conclusion is this: . There I was proved ""wrong by subsequent v events. Yet I know I am not wrong in predicting . that if the Soviets continue along present lines they may possibly cause disaster, to the whole Western World but in the process they will certainly destroy the Politburo, the Communists-Party In Russia, and bring misery to the peo ple of Russia and her satellites. , Wallace is only one of many who were en amoured of the Russians and thought they and Americans could cooperate in building a better . world, only Wallace stuck to his illusions long er. It is comforting to note that the scales have, fallen from his eyes at last. An idealist his vis . ions and perhaps his ambitions served to con fuse his thinking. We are glad he finally saw the light in time to repent, and commend him for being willing to admit he' was wrong.

Wallace Admits He Was Wrong " Months go Henry A. Wallace renounced the Progressive Party which had made him its -presidential nominee in 1948.

Now the former Vice President goes farther in his admissions: he has contributed an article to This Week' entitled "Where I Was Wrong It takes a lot of courage for a politician (or n editor for that matter) to admit that' he was In error. But Wallice is given to soul-searching, and probably figures that an honest confession will nurture his soul.

The Parliament, to overrule an adverse decision of the courts-passed an act making itself the high est court of the land. Recently the Cape 'division of ,the Supreme Court declared that act void. The case wil be appealed to the Appeals Court. Whether the government would try arbitrarily to defy an adverse ruling of this court is not clear. The situation in South Africa is tense, as blacks violate old laws on segregation of races. Premier Malan even talks about with drawing South Africa from the British Com monwealth in order to maintain the doctrine, of white supremacy. The new wine of race equal ity is bursting old political bottles of superiority-inferiority. - , gt:-:-: C' iesssnv ojsoseoj United Press quotes Mrs. Eisenhower as say ing she is really shocked over the high price'Of food and thinks if enough housewives com plain bitterly something might be done.

Since then, "however .penicillin has been made in various improved forms. A type of penicillin combined v with oil was perfected, which was very long-lifting in its action, requiring but one injection a day. Unfortunately, many r ople had allergic reactions to the oil. so a new compound was brought out, in which tbe penicillin was com- bined with .a local anesthetic called procaine. .

The an ount that passes to the lungs Is three to five times larger than with the usual types of peni cillin.

But was not the occa .. sion jiUelf, were not the farmers themselves, more notable than the speeches? It was hard not to have this feeling, for the plowing match at Kasson and the people who attended it gave you a sense of the real -glory of America and the phrase Is not exaggerated. The setting was superb a rich farm. In marvelously beautiful, almost park-like rolling country. Here on a little rise that com manded long green -and-golden prospects, a magnified and more businesslike county fair had been , set down. Here, tens of thousands bf farmers and their wives and children had come far more to look over the new farm machin ery as well as look over presi dential candidates. And the peo pie, if you consider them rightly, were as superb as their setting. A ten-year-old struck the note at the Methodist Ladies' excellent luncheon stand. He remarked that his hands were numb from testing a new tractor, and ex plained shortly, but with pride, that he had persuaded his father to buy a different make. "New, , I'm not going to the speaking,4 he added. "I got more work to do. .-r. , These people were hard-work-tag, shrewd in their work and very prosperous tractors sell lns f or close to 13,00 were e tnc. Uke hot cakes.

"I ruess well wait and see," and. "HeTl ret oar votes when, we're care he means A." were the characteristic comments. . When you also remember that -Xptb Eisenhower and Stevenson spoke to huge, patiently standing outdoor audiences, it Is not ex actly surprising that neither can didate set the prairies on fire. None the less, besides, being an occasion to be celebrated, this plowing match at Kasson was an extremely Interesting political event. Eisenhower, to take the speak ers la their order, was aa aster iy different man from what he had been before bis southern trip. -The uncertainty was geae. ' He had hit his stride. He seemed sere ef what he had to say. And bo one who has traveled for even a few days through the Mid western farm districts eaa doubt that what he had to say was what the farmers wanted to near. : Eisenhower's end orsement of high farm parities, the promises to extend support prices to crops not now covered, and the other points In the Eisenhower pro gram, added Up to "Me-too-ism, naked and unashamed. But Dewey lost the farm vote in 194S -because he was not "afe-too enough, -and who can blame Eisenhower for seeking to avoid Dewey's disastrous tactical er ror? ' As for Stevenson, be spoke more soberly ; and with fewer flight of eteqaenee than usual. . and he made almost precisely the his great gains In the last 29 years. The slightest suspicion that these gains may be taken away will produce a stampede ef farm ers bite the Democratic fold. The situation Is made still more uncertain by another phe nomenon, pithily explained by a sharp old party in dungarees, with a wallet that looked big enough to choke a horse. "Being a Democrat still ain't very re spectable round .here,' he. re marked, "so I guess with us vot ing Democratic is kind of like sin everybody talks against it, but a hell of a lot of people com mit it" ' On the whole, the best way to sum ap the Kasson meeting la to say Eisenhower has taken a long step towards gaining the ' farm vote that Dewey lost, but the final outcome is still as un certain as almost everything else , In this aneertained election. Salem Lions Club members had to pungle up an extra $4.50 at their luncheon the other noon. To make up a deficit in money used for prizes at a recent club picnic!

" ! great care has been taken to adapthe plan to local conditions, usinglocal materials and taking advantage of favorable terrain.

The small dams are more economi cal, and do a minimum of dam age to the natural conditions of the area. Also the dams can be built in progressive stages as de mand for the energy grows. One other feature might be mentioned and that is that Copco proceeded with its work without protest against the state's hydro electric act. such as the Idaho Power Company made in 1947. trying to get the law modified to its advantage on the proposed Oxbow project on Snake River.
