UTi More Secret Diplomacy t That' America's war-time loreign policy wasf based far mora on immediate expediency than; sound principles of defense was never better exemplified than in the current revelations that U. S. leaders knew at the time that the ill-famed : Katyn massacre was a product of Communist plotting. . ' - ' . i The mass 'murders of Polish patriots in the Katyn forest of Western Russia was an added!, stigma for years on the Nazi war-lords. It was i easy to let the picture remain that way because ' America and her allies were ready to believe; the worst of men who instigated the massacre of milljons of Jews. And i letting the pic ture stay in improper focus,, "friendship" with; Russia-was maintained. What a price for it! General Bissell, former chief of U. S. army; intelligence, has now disclosed that a report of the Katyn incident laid full blame on the Communists, and in testifying before a con-; gressional committee last week he said that in ' his opinion Russia would not have joined in forming the United Nations if the U. S. had made public the evidence that the Soviet Union , was responsible for the Katyn atrocity. 1 Apparently there is no end to the . secret; diplomacy. and agreement of World War IF diplomacy and agreements which neither then nor now can stand on merit in the cold light of national reason, . .i- .

The Corvallis Gazette-Times comes up with a baffling bit of news dug out of accident ports' by a reporter ox more than average alertness. There were three traffic accidents in Corvallis last Wednesday. In one, the ages of both drivers were 18; in another, the ages of both drivers were 24; in the third, the ages of both drivers' were 25. What we would now like very much to know is whether that proves anything beyond the fact that persons 18, 24 and 23 years old should avoid accidents. That new book on the care and feeding of husbands might suggest what to do when one of them finds, 50 miles from his front door, that the tickets to the game are in his other coat. A People Who Care We would venture to say that had this year's prolonged drought occured in Oregon 2ft years ago,1 there wouldn't be any resultant news stor ies about the year's fire loss being among the lowest on record. And yet that is what statistics now show about 1952 in this state. The sta tistics are both surprising and more than a little gratifying. . : i : It was true this year, of course, that we were spared to a large extent the drying east winds which so many times have turned forests into; tinder and small fires into raging ; infernos.' . But certainly we can credit other factors, too,' for seeing us through a dangerous season with; a minimum of damage. ! i . ! i Through constant campaigning, residents of Oregon have really come of age in their recog nition of our forests as vital to the economy of the state, and in their personal interest in help-! ing to avert repetition of disasters of the past. Carefulness in the woods has become accepted as not only a courtesy but as a necessity; not I only; as something to be desired" but as some-; thing to be enforced. And the new, 'attitude : certainly has paid off in 1952. " I We are glad the rains are here; that the i forests are safe; that hunters can hve-their fun. We are more than glad to have proof that we have become a people who care.

He's still Johnnie ; Ray, the teen-agers' hero who made and was i made by "The Little White Cloud that Cried." 1 I We say that opinion doesn't matter not when I the song in question recently went to its" millionth phonograph-record customer. That proves that more than one person thinks young Johnnie Ray is quite something. And our valley I city of Dallas is out to show it can recognize a ; home-town success when it sees one. i ! It's Johnnie Ray day Tuesday in Dallas.

Explosion of Hydrogen Bomb Termed Open Secret; Announcement Expected Soon V By STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON There is sometimes a certain odd neat ness to the awesome processes of history. The atomic era be can Just as Harry S. Tru-J man became President. . The' hydrogen era is now beginning, just as Dwight D. Eisenhower prepares to move into the White House. T1 M 11 A. Aiie uuit , Stewart IM. i the United Sta- ml A,SW1V5 tes has just tested the world's. first hydrogen bomb is " now,, surely, the world's most open. secret The Atomic Energy Com mission will soon make an an- nouncement on ', the subject,' quite possibly before these words are printed. To adjudge from the past, this announcement is likely to be cautious to the point of in comprehensibility. The word, to look tor it thermonuclear." ... This means the hydrogen bomb. Hut 1 what does the hydrogen bomb mean? The essential facts, as already passed on security grounds by the -AJ3.C, are as follows. The bomb or bombs which have just been tested in the Pacific were probaby a sort of compromise between the atomic and the true hydrogen bomb. But within the next few months, it should be possible to -test a true hydrogen bomb with an exposlive power something like firty times that of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki model. This bomb will have a blast damage area of about 10 square miles, and a searing heat flash area of about 150 square miles. ' The effect' ef the snack-feared radleacttre gamma rays ef sack ' a bams can be disregarded, since the range ef the gamma rays is Nenparaiively limited that anyeae affected by these rays. will already be dead from the blast or heat flash. Theoretically, since the hydrogen bomb Is an "open-ended" weapon it wfll be possible to construct a bomb far more powerful. Bat a mnch big ger bomb would present seri ous and perhaps- iasarmoant able design and delivery prob lems. What is snore, a bomb with fifty times the power ef the or iginal atomic bomb will obvious ly be capable af destroying at aaa blow any bat a very few af the world's greatest cities. Ia fact, the hydrogen bomb Is really anly an appropriate weapon against very large cities. - ' Here two facts should be faced. First, because of the industrial, concentration, this country pro-i. vides a much larger number of . appropriate hydrogen bomb tar gets than the Soviet Union. Second, there is every reason to believe that the Soviets win be able to test their own hydrogen bomb rather shortly. For reas ons explained in a recent "Satur day Evening Post" article by this reporter and the physicist Dr. Ralph Lapp, which was passed- for security by the A.E.C, this country has very little head start In the hydrogen race. Therefore, far from ottering greater aeearlty ta the United States. Che hydros ea bomb offers the Soviets a means af tepidly evertaking the Amerieaa atomic lead. This saggests ea ceawmsioa. What seearfty sarins to as fn the hydrogen bomb era win depend aeaarery : a tbJa on uiUj'a abCUy to bit the Soviet Union very mnch harder than the Soviet Uaiea caa hit the United States. We must, In other words, re main at all times wen in advance of, the Soviets both in offensive and defensive capabilities. It should be clearly understood ; that we are not now maintaining this lead. A great deal ef evidence suggests, indeed, that the Soviets may soon surpass this country in both respects. But it should also be clearly understood that cer tain "technological break' throughs," ta use a phrase favor ed by the scientists, make it en tirely feasible for this country to regain a decisive offensive and defensive advantage. This Is not a matter af a single wonder weapon. It ia a matter ef a whole new weapons system. It is also a matter of a great, aad very costly national effort. .This raises the following ques tions: With the hydrogen era and the Elsenhower Administration both In process af birth, is tt rational to talk af heavy rut backs in taxes and defense ex penditures? . Any sensible man win agree that taxes are "toe high. Any sensible man will also agree that the Fentagea baa failed to deliver faU vahse aa every dollar invested In defense after the peak af rearmament has passed. Yet surely a heavy over-all reduction in defense expendi tures would be a strange Amer ican response to the hydrogen era. which will be well advanced' when the four years of the Eisen hower Administration comes to an end. During the campaign. President-elect Elsenhower made a qualified promise to cut gov ernment spending by 20.000,000, 000 The great bulk of this re duction . could onlv come, from defense outlays. Fortunately, a X&an ef Eisenhower's character and background, weighing the growing threats to national sur vival against a qualified prom ise made during the heat of a political campaign, Is likely to arrive at only one conclusion. Equally fortunately. Eisenhower Is now in a position to demand of this country, and to get. the kind of great national effort which the threat to national sur vival in the hydrogen era re quirse, (Copyright, Jjsi.

Used to be if a hunter had a gun and shells that matched he was all set for the season, Now, in or der to steer clear of those swinging jail doors, he must arm himself with a compass, latest pamphlet on hunting regulations, a map of Oregon, and federal and state statute books. And he must know the names of all water fowl. But lots of dyed-in-the-barrel pump and trigger men can't seem to get the hang of those scientific names for ducks.
