I think Governor McKay should
have said "Tut-tut instead of
'Shush-shush" to the currently
warring departments of civil serv
ice and state higher education. Af
ter the affaire Nixon, this is just
a tempest in a thimble, f
The civil service law exempts
those in academic service, but the
. state civil service office thinks
higher education has been passing
out academic titles too freely, like
- making a cowhand a, professor of
animal .husbandry or a ormitory
chambermaid an instructor m
home economics. He says it isnt
trying to make silk purses out of
cow's tails or anything like that,
and doesn't like to have civil serv
ice snooping around with ques
tionnaires as though checking on
the veracity of the college presi-
dents. The governor told both par
ties to keep their troubles out of
the newspapers; but after alL that
is public business.. Maybe the em
- ployes themselves would like to
know what's going on.; So let's
have full disclosure . . even Gov.
Stevenson is going to cough up
the- names on his secret money
list.
It seems to be built into civil
- service that every head of a de-
partment wants exemption. He us
' ually is sure he can run his de
partment .better if he can hire and
fire his own help. Many times he
could: but as the number of de-
nartments has grown classifica
tion becomes necessary for uni
formity of working conditions; and
selection on merit is needed to
avoid political patronage.
In bucking the civil service hal
ter and harness on rrfany of its
staff higher education isn't differ
ent from other departments; but
I doubt if the civil service horse
collar would start any serious
sores. After all most top level sci
entists in federal employment are
under civil service.
? Doubtless there will be enough
foot-dragging to let the issue be
settled by the next legislature. If
the law-makers want, to make
teachers out of house-mothers or
deans out of bookkeepers they are
the ones to do it. Meantime let's
all relax lest the taxpayers grab

Ike Tortures
Facts, Says
Sec. Acheson
WASHINGTON (JPh Secretary
of State Acheson Friday accused
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower of
misquoting him 'and . torturing
the facts"- about administration
policy toward the defense of
Korea. -
In a speech at Cincinnati Sept
22, Eisenhower said that five
months before the Reds attacked
in Korea Acheson had "declared
that America's so-called defen
sive perimeter excluded areas on
the Asiatic mainland such as Ko
rea" Invitation to Attack
Eisenhower suggested this in
vited the 1950 Communist on
slaught on , Korea. Eisenhower
held that the decision to defend
Korea when the attack occurred
was inescapable but he said it was
the incompetence 1 of political
leaders which made military ac
tion necessary."
Acheson declared in a state
ment that he used no language
excluding Korea. He said the po
sition he took in a speech to the
National Press Club here Jan. 12,
1950, was this:
L The American defensive per
imeter included the Aleutian Is
lands, Japan, the Ryukyus and
the Philippines and if this line
were attacked the United States
would defend it alone if necessary
just as it would the nation's
continental area.
. 2. Should an attack oecur out
side -the defensive perimeter, the
initial defense must come from
the people on the scene and re
liance then would have to be made
on the United "Nations to repel
aggression.

An early morning automobile ac
cident Friday ended the life of Sa
lem Air Force pilot Lt. George Aid-
en Sundlie, 25, three miles south
of town as he was leaving with his
wife and young son for a new duty
station in Texas.
His wife, the former Sally Ann
Meyer of St. Petersburg, Fla., was
reported by authorities at Salem
Memorial Hospital as suffering
from extreme shock and numerous
lacerations. Their four months old
son, Scott Alden Sundlie, suffered
only minor injuries and was taken

It's a mechanical, remote-con

Direct Atomic Rays
These "cartridges" of radioac
tive material can bring powerful
atomic rays to bear uniformly on
the entire body of a test animal
for any desired length of time
and then be automatically witn
drawn.
The device employs a quantity
of radioactive cobalt costing about
$6.000 but having the ray-
emitting power of approximately
24 million dollars wortn or radium.

The instrument r called a
'gamma ray generator" gives off
"gamma" radiation, the farthest-
reaching of the highiy-penetrat
ing rays given off by the explosion
of an A-bomb.
Handy Test Unit
Scientists of the Naval Medical
Research Institute said the new
device provides, for the first time,
a handy and rather inexpensive
means of irradiating the whole
body of a test animal m a uniform
way roughly analgous to the way
a man standing in the open near
an A-bomb blast would be a

Sets Seen
agree that they are hardly in the
of deliveries, dealers reported in a
Statesman survey Friday. Reason
for this is a shortage of sets and
"ponwrters. Most dealers said
sales are steadily. increasing.
' Many sets have converters built
into them and these are delivered
as fast as dealers get them. Other
sets require the addition of con
verters to make sets work on
Portland's ultra . high frequency
station KPTV. .
. Although the sales picture here
is not patterned clearly, a conserv
ative estimate would be that sev
eral hundred sets have been sold
and delivered in the past several
weeks.
Seven to Fifteen Daily .
Several of the larger stores re
port they are "selling" from seven
to fifteen sets per day but most
are delivering only about half that
many. One store reported it has
delivered 40 sets in the past two
weeks and has 150 more on order.
Another downtown dealer re
ported he is selling two or three
sets per day but has only deliv
ered 'about 20. Smaller shops in
outlying areas said they averaged
about 10 sets sold and delivered
in the past several weeks.
Douglas Yeater of Yeater Ap
pliance Company predicted that
both sales and delivery of sets
would "speed up within several
more weeks." Yeaters, like several
other shops, is keeping its tele
vision division open nights for
customer viewing of video shows.
Antennae Problem
At Marrs'. where viewers clus
ter nightly on the sidewalk out
side the shop to watch TV shows,
it was reported that "Our greatest
problem is selecting the correct
type of antennae." This, it was
noted, ranked right along with the
scarcity of UHF attachments - as
headache features.
Man's also reported that many
people are buying sets, without the
necessary converters, on the
promise of future delivery of the
gadget.
Most sets, plus installation, are
costing their new owners an aver
age of $350 to $400, according to
cecii r arnes, sales manager at
Heider's. Faroes reported that TV
engineers in Salem Friday said
mat reception here is about 95
per cent of perfect, "which is far
better than we had hoped for.
Al Lamer, proprietor of his own
shop in the Keizer district north
oi aaiem, noted, as did many
other dealers, that best types of
aerials for this area are ' the
trombone and "Yagi."
Many Pay Cash
Most dealers reported that while
antennaes were not on the crit
ically short list, nevertheless get
ting the right kind in sufficient
supply was something of a prob
lem. Kaye Radio Company noted
tnat antennae were in short sup
ply there. .
Who is buying sets in Salem?
wen, f arnes at neideri says
that most customers are from "the
middle class income brackets."
Most, he reports, have made up
their minds to buy a set, so their
only problem is to select the type
they want.
And many of these early TV
customers are paying cash for
sets, dealers report, but in recent
days the demand for credit terms
has increased.

GOP Hopeful
With Ovation
By The Associated Press
Gov. Adlai Stevenson defended 4
the fund he set up to bolster the
pay of some Illinois state officials
by saying Friday night:
"If It's a crime to helD good '
people in government, then I'm -
guiuy.
.The remark, which got him a
hearty round of applause from an -
Indianapolis audience, -had been, '
prefaced by the comment that he
had heard there is a lot of curiosi- '
ty about some help he had given '
state employes.
Reversed Stand "
Stevenson, the Democratic Pres-
idential nominee, earlier had re
versed himself under heavy Re- '
publican fire and decided to tell
more about the private fund he
had used to increase the salaries '
of key state officials. , -
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
Republican Presidential nominee,
got a thunderous welcome in Rich
mond, VaM where he made a blis- '
tenng attack on what he called i
corruption, waste and extrava
gance in Washington.
Temporary stands on the steDS
of the State Capitol collapsed un- J
der the weight of spectators just
after Eisenhower had completed
nis speech and was walking away,
but he was unhurt.
More For Ike .
The reception Eisenhower got
at Richmond eclipsed the one Ste
venson got there a week ago.
The Richmond speech . was a
climax to a one-day push into
North Carolina and Virginia.
Eisenhower urged the voters to
cancel the Apolitical mortgage" the
Democrats held on the South. He ,
also praised Democratic Sen. Har-
ry F. Byrd of Virginia.
Sen. Richard Nixon. Eisenhow
er's running mate, was hard at
work, in Texas, trying to swing it
out of the traditional Democratic
fold.
alks Tidelands
Nixon told an Amarilio audience
that Texas Democrats ought to
vote against what he called Tru
man Democrats because of the at
tempted "steal" of the oil-rich
submerged lands.
Accusing the administration of .
an "outright, downright theft" in
the federal-state battle over the
off-shore lands, Nixon said: -
'If you want to lose your tide-
lands, the thing to do is vote
against Gen. Eisenhower." .
In a news conference Nixon said;
1. If Eisenhower is elected Sen.
Robert A. Taft of Ohio "will, be
the top leader in the Senate and
his main job will be to develop
egislation as a team player.
Z. if Eisenhower felt an "ulti
matum" to Russia would invoke a
war there would be no ultimatum.
Republicans were keeping the
pressure on Stevenson to tell more
about his fund to help state of
ficials. Stevenson informed newsmen
before setting out on a new cam
paign swing that he was getting
in touch with the contributors with
a view to making their names pub
lic He also said he would name
the recipients.
