Where to Draw &e line
The natural tendency of Americans to "boast
of what they know is leading us into the dog-
house of the Pentagon and the Atomic Energy
Commission. 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. ' .

To quote Randolph's conclusion "The morn
ing sun, climbing over the eastern peaks, will
pick up out new red blood on the snow bright
red crystals, gleaming in the sun, brilliant s
lacquer, unfading. That is the third winter."

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. :

The Third Winter
r- " v - . ' - r - .
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. Not other- -wise,
argued the store management, would it be able
to obtain the extra help It was sure to need. 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.
And competitors for scarce part-time salesladies, no
doubt, will stealthily offer bigger ice cream cones or
a better quality of waterproof baby pants.
Here is another emergency. Having s te p p d
through the nursery door, the wage controllers had
better do a thorough job of hV Otherwise we shall
all be up to our necks in chaos.

Eisenhower's Attempt
Vacation Ended t Govem Paralysis
By STEWART ALSOF
- (Joseph Alsop has left far Ee

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

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

' 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. .

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.

er is Henry Fonda, long familiar
to movie goers. We. went to see

a perceptive analysis of our present-day
