It can be said in truth, too, that -such a tendency is not foreign to the Pentagon or the commission itself, either. ; Top often, persons in official capacity, in at- ; tempting to justify their own actions or reply to criticism they believe unwarranted, have-sounded off about things that security officers believe re of .far more vtlue to a potential enemy than i they are interesting to the folks at home. But conversely, the military in many ins tan- : ces has invoked a silly sort of censorship about things which are generally known anyway or which are of little or ho intrinsic value to any one anywhere. It is this sort of attempted cen sorship which makes it difficult to know where to draw the line. Just as one case in point, there -was every effort to cover up the fact that an escort plane coming in too close apparently caus ed the crash of the military plane recently at Wilsonvllle north of Salem. We agree that many times congressmen have talked too much, as have other people in the know. But the Pentagon and the Atomic Energy Commission can serve their purpose best not only by damming up sources that should be clammed up but by arranging for the release of information which is the public's right to know. Military security is a field in itself, and violators of its code should be dealt with severely. Gen eral information is something else again. We are inclined to believe that if government agencies involved in the defense of this nation would draw a sharper line themselves, and be less jeal ous of their prerogatives to clog channels of in formation which have no relation to security, they would find their own employes and the public generally more apt to accept the differ ence between what should be, public and what should not.

That is the third winter." May there never be a fourth. ," The Heir Apparent - It must have been with considerably mixed emotions that the lonesome-looking little boy of Japan's war years took the crown this week as heir-apparent to the Nippon empire. , ' Akihido's ties with the western world are strong as strong as they once have been bitter. For Akihido was only 11 years old when World War II ended. It can only be imagined what must have been the prejudices engendered while America was beating his nation to its knees. Since .then, with the American occupation of Japan, Akihido has been tutored by American teachers, taught of American ways, and has wit nessed Americans by the thousands in the land from which foreigners once were barred. ' The crown prince is not known for verbosity. His features normally are immobile,- his emo tions veiledand his lips closed. There are those who say the prince remains resentful of his con querors, but many who profess to know him credit him with a maturing belief in the con cepts of democracy. 1 The mystery and omnipotence of the Japanese throne ore things of the past now. Akihido will rule his peoples not from the vantage point of a worshipped master. His role will more diffi cult than that Of his father. We can hope that the tastes of democracy with which he has grown up will keep him, as the years go by, for less heedful of or acquiescent to the war lords which once let his nation astray. : ifP Supremo Court cfuc2o To Review Costello Cade i 4i jo O i o WASHINGTON The Su preme Court Monday turn down big - time gambler Frank Coo teilo's plea -Jar a renew of hit eon tempt - of Congress conviction.

To the Associated Press John Randolph go our accolades for the finest bit of war writing ever to come to our attention and for pointing in dramatic fashion to an ominous change in'the attitude of the fighting forces of this nation. , Randolph calls the first winter of war in Ko rea "a winter of despair a winter of Chinese bugles in the night; of waves of leaping figures against the flames of burning villages x x x; the Icy moon and the cold,' cruel, quiet snow." The second winter -'a winter .of hope, a warmer winter, with snug hilltop bunkers x x x, Christ mas turkey xxx, peace talks xxx" j Jiow- "the third winter, there is no despair but neither is there any hope. The war has be some an institution that follows logically on i .tour of the Infantry school, a man's assignment after the fall maneuvers. There is not so much talk now about the war ending." Instead, "the men talk about the only thing that does count, rotation." . i There is no song in the Korean 'War like' World War I's "We won't be back 'ta it's over over there." Nor is there the thunderous, inspir ing goal or "unconditional surrender" of -World Waf II. Only rotation, and on no goal expect peace and no road toward it. ; i Randolph sets in stark perspective the differ ence between Korea and all the other nation's wars -wars to be, won, efforts toward winning, , aot Just holding on. We can only hope that Gen. , The Washington bureau of the Associated Press might' just as well get a lot of forms print ed so that each day there would only be a name to fill in such stories as "The resignation of ' was announced today, etc" It is to be wondered how many people have .been late to appointments since that courthouse clock no longer towers over town, t Eclitorial Comment WSB TS THE NURSERY One of the regional Wage Stabilization Boards, has ruled that a department store may pay the cost of keeping in nurseries the children of part-time saleswoinenjduring the Christmas rush.

Public and labor members of the board overruled the dis l sentlng employer representatives. We congratulate the board on its two-thirds wis dom." Indeed, we would say. that these regulators should have gone much further then merely to hold that these nursery cost payments would be nonin Cationary. What one store may do as a result of this ruling others may do. But what if one store proprie tor stands the cost of more lollipops per day per child than another? There the vicious spiral ol In flation can easily infiltrate the national economy.

Eisenhower's Attempt Vacation Ended t Govem Paralysis By STEWART ALSOF - (Joseph Alsop has left far Ee rape. and will soon report ea the problems which will face the mew Administration there.) WASHINGTON President, elect Dwight D. Eisenhower's plans for a worry-free and badly - V needed vaca tion have, been jj I shattered,: for a reason easuj t visible to the naked eye here in j Washington. To an extent which has to be seen to be be-, lieved, the gov ernment of the United States, wffHslfe Vialaiwi ' .?JU?! in a coma .throughout the campaign months, has now been seized with total paralysis. .. - . No one in the government has , any real authority to make any decisions whatsoever. MeanwhSe decisions of immense import ance, which have been filed and forgotten pending the outcome ef the election, urgently need to be made. Thus there is very heavy pressure on the president-elect to assume responsibility before he assumes office. It Is te ISseeawwer'a great credit that he has tup dud te this sttaatlea as he has. Instead ef simply letting the mlatstratfoa hew Au FraakSa D. fteesevett let .the JXoever ..Admiawtratt floeader) he has csiekly agreed te a sort ef tandem axraareaaea for leatortng -the rvermmearis aethertty. rasenhewer representa tives ta the Elate and Defense Departments wta .Uy ..dnat-coe-trot, as tt were, wUa the Tramaa appolated officials, during the ta terlm period before Elsenhower takes office. ; : Neither Eisenhower himself nor the representatives to the State and Defense Departments 1 whom he names, of course, can take full responsibility for decisions, until Eisenhower is in fact Presi dent of the United States. Yet this tandem arrangement wSl at least restore some sense of direction to the government The representa tives named by Eisenhower wQl not necessarily be his final choise for chiefs of the key departments, but Eisenhower- Is expected ' to make known his final choice soon, almost certainly before he goes to Korea. In short, circumstances are causing s the President-elect, very soon after the election, to begin to choose; the key men who will deply effect the future course of his administration. This was tnevitaUe, Wt ta some wars I a ptty that tt should he so. The seleetlaa of a mew eaa tact Is a jnest serlees bvsiness. As President Trnman himself has reason te knew, a had choice earn be dkastreas. Tet Elsenhower Is new placed ta the pealUoa of max ims major and vitally taeportamt appotntments, ender great preo- , sere, and with net sosteh time far eeeeeltattea and dtseesatesw'-: - ' There was no discussion at an of postelection appointments dur- . ing the whole campaign period." Eisenhower was so determined to remain a "no; deal" candidate. 'mat he flatly refused to discuss Individual appointments. . Even , now, hot one of the men who lived virtually in Eisenhower's pocket during- the months of the cam paign has any real Idea at all of whom Elsenhower will choose for - the most important posts. , All they eaa offer Is certain rather -aegative dees. On the eests-eg the personal relations be tween the two seen, for example, eertam astote Elsenhower advis ers do not keSeve that New : York's Governor Thomas E. Dewey Is necessarily a front ner for eae ef the key Moreover, for what It Is worth, other Elsenhower Intimates be lieve that the relationship be tween Elsenhower and John Fos ter Dulles Is not as close as wed J normally be expected between a i President and his Secretary ef State. Elsenhower Is also quoted as remarking that he did not war "Wan f Veet ie to th Treasury, and that be weald like te see a bestaessmaa la the De fease Department, which may of fer seme indication of sis Inten- But trying to guess the Presi dentelect's ' intensions at this point is a pretty fruitless busi ness. What is really important is that Eisenhower, after his tre mendous personal triumph at the pools, is potentially very much in the driver's seat where foreign and defense policy are concern ed. He has a great opportunity to form a decisive, coherent policy, free of the sterile wrangling with Congress which has chara eter nized the recent past. But Eisen hower is politically an inexper ienced driver, and be is now be ing asked to start driving even before his seat is warm. Moreover, as Senator Robert , A. Tart's reported decision te .seek a plaee on the Foreign "ge lations Committee suggests, El senhower's position on the driv er's seat may not go snchalleng ed for very long. In fact, who Is really te do the driving la the -next foer yean may well he determined ta the first few weeks after January 29. In this situation, the relatively Inexperienced , Eisenhower wQl . desperately need, as his spokes men in the major posts, men of great experience and real politi cal influence of their own. These men must be ready, willing, and able to insist on a real Eisenhow-' er policy, and to resist the back- ' ward looking and cut-rate de fense and foreign policy which, w&l certainly be advocated by powerful Republicans on Capitol HQL Thus it is a pity -that Eisen hower must decide these absolu tely vital appointments under great pressure, and without much time for reflection and consulta tion. But Eisenhower has chosen -good men under pressure before, and it is at least cornforting that the infinitely dangerous paralysis of "the American government is being brought to an end. . Coprrlht. 1952. r Hew York Herald Tribun. Ine Appendicitis Bare in . Babies Appendicitis Is not too often seen in young infants, but when it does occur at this age. It can be fairly hard to treat Modern methods of caring for babies before and after opera tions are now making it possible to handle even these difficult cases, however. , Only one-tenth of one per cent of infants under two years of age who are in hospitals are there for appendicitis. For two-year-olds, this number increases seven times, and becomes, more 'com mon as the Infant approaches childhood and adulthood. The symptoms of appendicitis in infants are also much differ- . ent from those of older children , and adults. It is extremely hard for even the most skilled physi cian to diagnose the condition in a baby. A child who keeps vomiting, cannot eat properly, frets con tinuously, and develops diarrhea, constipation, and fever may lead I the doctor to suspect appendid- . tis. Usually there is also some pain over the appendix. ; " " An examination by the physi cian through the rectum is some times very helpful in making a diagnosis. However, the symptoms are so similar to so many other dis eases that they definitely present a more or less "hit or miss" pro position. Many times the diagno sis is missed for a few days, giv ing the appendix time to rupture, i I . . o . Once the diagnosis is made, an operation on a baby ' Is much more difficult than on an adult. Usually an infant has to be pre pared carefully with nourishing food before surgery can be per formed. A small needle may be Inserted into a vein in. order to feed the baby before and after surgery. To do this, a small cut must be made in the skin. Usually a tube is also inserted into the child's stomach to keep it empty immediately before and after surgery. ' ' . . . The antibiotic drugs have helped tremendously in -making - appendicitis attacks less severe and . reducing the complications of operations In Infants. Recently a study was made on a group of 21 infants with appen dicitis. Only a few of these cases were unsuccessful, and these oc curred in infants who were not given the necessary amounts of fluids or antibiotics before and after the operation. Newer methods of nutrition and preventing infection will thus save the life of many an infant facing surgery of the appendix. QUESTIONS AND ANSWEU A. N.r What are the symptoms of asthma? ' - Answer: The I symptoms of asthma are severe shortness of breath, with wheezing and cough ing. A person with this disorder t usually , coughs strenuously and ' excessively In order to expel the thick plugs that may be present in the tubes leading to the air " sacs of the lungs. As the disease progresses to a severe degree, there may be cyanosis or a blue colored skin due to lack of an adequate amount of oxygen reaching the tissues. (CoprrifM. 1983.

The horse Is La grim at. big black stalliooL And .the country can be one of two,' for here lojalties are divided and Brady's choice is part of Lea's climax.

He ts a henchman of the Casfxos, ranchers and Chihuahua leaders: one of them gave him Laxrimas; and ooe of them has sent him north on a smuggling mission when we meet him st the opening of this story.
