UTA faUlahed every oaorain. fssstaeaa me SIS Catered tf tbi peeierfJce at Salem, Ureses, at You're Using More Electricity. i 1 If we could just see the great flood tide of electricity that pours into Salem1 daily, conv pared with the trickle of a few years ago, we would have little trouble convincing people of the need for conservation of power during" such a time of shortage as we arc now experiencing. For a moment, let's compare the household of yesteryear with the one of today with regards to the amount of electricity used, , 1 1 - Twenty or thirty years ago electricity waa used in the average home chiefly for lighting and what lights. Thirty or forty watt orange- j colored bulbs were all a householder could buy. The installation of electric wiring .was dona without metal conduit in the home, and the , cloth-covered wire stretched from white insu-; f ' lator to white insulator, with a round white insulator used ; when the wire went through wood. The center light in every room was pected to supply all the iUumination necessaryj and if wall plugs were numerous, it was because the house was very new or. its builder, was far--lighted. Mama had her curling iron, which used electricity, and perhaps! there was one of the new-fangled waffle irons, but only the homes of the wealthy had electric refrigerators, wash-j . 4np machines or electric ranees. Mr i . But now, move your electric time clock up to the year 1952. It is 5 pjn. and the kids are lis tening to an electrically-operated radio -under the light of a 300-watt lamp. Mama has her I, 000-watt oven cooking a casserole and string beans and potatoes using 400 and a 600-watt electric plates. On the utility porch she has a 4,000-watt dryer baking the water out of her clothes. In the back bedroom is the . baby, and to keep him warm a 3,000-watt room heater is working. We have accounted for a potential II, 000-watts, without even mentioning the mix master, three electric clocks,, the freezer motor jand the refrigerator. f"-j i What many householders do not realize is that if a home uses 10,000 watts of power at any one time during the day, the electric company-must have facilities to supply that much power all the time. In other words, the electric company cannot be-guided in its purchase of power by the average amount of power that is Used, but by the maximum that is used. It would help a great deal if we could all re member to avoid "power peaks in our own homes by not using the oven when we are using the dryer or a room heater. And let's, switch off the lights we're not using. After all, that will not only save power, but will save us money on next month's bin. -i.- ber that jour antagonist isn't on easy street. It makes it easier to absorb whatever punishment he metes out. All we can hope is that his trouble is nothing trivial. It Won't Happen Again . : . Washington hotels have been gun-shy since the 1948 Presidential election, and understand ably so. For months prior to the November elec tion of that year, stalwart Republicans sent in requests for reservations for the January inau gural It was to be a really gala time. What happened? Ask the hotels. -They had reserva tions galore and no guests. That won't happen this time, though. Repub licans didn't make many reservations until after Nov. 4, and even so the hotels are keeping their books and their tills open. Pay up in advance by Dec. 15 or sleep on a park bench, they say in effect. They can well afford to be independ ent. Long-starved Republicans, whether they want an office or merely, a parade, will flood Washington come Jan. 18 and the tinkle of cash should be merry music to the hostelries. "I don't think y stool start working en yar lucerne tax m early, Otis . yeull be figuring eat something that'll land yea to Jail . . The Safety -Valve The National Forensic Society paid high and well-earned tribute to the Salem High School chapter of the organization. Secretary Jacob, in presenting a placque, said the Salem group in its six-year existence had earned as many hon ors as accrue to some chapters in 25 years. Pupils in this line of endeavor never get to play in the Rose Bowl or win the plaudits of cheering thousands, but they are learning much to contribute to their own and their community's well-being and to the well-being of causes they may espouse. Congratulations are due them. Justice Arthur Hay will succeed Justice James T. Brand as chief justice of the Supreme Court of Oregon. It is a credit to the state that such changes on the court can be accompanied by the comment that responsibilities now are changed from one pair of capable hands to another. The Eugene Register-Guard calls on Lane County to "head up the movement for polling improvement . . .. which the legislature can adopt for the whole state." That's quite a chunk to bite off but we've a lot of confidence in Editor Bill Tugman's masticating ability. We Hope It's Nothing Trivial i There has been more than one indication lately that all is nor sweetness and'Ught in the -Soviet hierarchy. Latest word to that' effect comes from the , foreign staff of the Chicago Daily News, which reports that "the chief Soviet worry is corruption within the Russian govern ment." I - r L,- - ' i The report is not based on wishful thinking; nor is cognizance herewith taken from that standpoint But self-criticism apparent even in the censored press has made it obvious thai government by crony the outgrowth of being , in power without effective opposition for a long I time has brought a rival to "the mess in Wash4 Ington." ' ..: I The News draws three conclusions from the latest first-hand survey of its correspondents: That there is nothing to indicate the Russians will start a war in the foreseeable future; that the West can well be disturbed by the gains by which the Soviets are lessening the gap in ca pacity for heavy industry; and that the Russians will continue to foment strife among the non Communist nations. 1 f - . ' T 1 One curious i development reported by the News is the unexplained absence of military i leaders and secret police officials from top iJarty postsWe doubt, however, there is much sig nificance in this fact Rather, it would seem to comprise largely an overt encouragement for larger party membership after alL even with: post-war gains the Commurist party member ship is less than 4 per cent of Russia's popu-l lation. . - '. ; . v - - - .. f I i We aren't looking for an early collapse of the Soviet regime.

Some of its editors speak. of General Eisenhower in terms that must turn Moscow's Pravda green with envy. No doubt newspapers have their lunatic fringe in any country where the press is free of state control. The emotional outgivings of such can be dismissed as of no great consequence. But when a competently edited paper like the Manchester Guardian can be quoted as fearing that the Eisen hower Administration may drag the whole world Into an all-out war, things begin to look serious for Anglo-American relations. That heretofore highly respected Manchester Journal expresses its belief that General Eisenhower should immediately declare the foreign policy he Intends to follow. Otherwise, It fears, the Commu nists will find an opportunity to drive a wedge between the United States and its natural allies; What better opportunity, one may ask, could the Communists find, for such divisive action than that presented to thera by the hysterical attacks of some sections of the British press upon General Eisen hower before he has so much as taken office? , Wall Street Journal Criticises Electorate To the Editor: A recent editorial in the States man "Quarterbacking the Elec tion is more balanced and tern- . perate than most appraisals of the results of the recent election. In an attempt probably futile to deflate some of the outrage- ' ous charges and claims and invid ious comparisons made by some ' of the victors, some adverse thoughts are here advanced. The winners in many instances as usual gloated Inordinately over their ill-gotten gains. In addition to numerous rea sons for the above results is an otheran unprecedented accu mulation of sap in the voters heads. The outcome can well be considered Hitler's greatest vic tory, the greatest at least since the enactment of the Taft-Hartley act, Not widely noticed, ap parently, is the fact that all the victories of Hitler and Germany have been either pushovers or sell-outs.

Then you can almost hear them alter nately bitching because they are not on the ground to gloat over their triumph and chortling with sardonic gleen over the enormity of their conquest while chiding each other for being such "damn fools as to waste their efforts waging war on this country when, by waiting a short time, the combination of big business, big brass, big press and big poli ' tidans would put over most of then- objectives with an effective ness beyond their fondest hopes and dreams.

In- Red Parties in Satellites to Become Part of f Parent Party During 'Remodeling' Process lrrERrJtETING THE NEWS 1 By WILLIAM L. RYAN J , AP j Foreign News Analyst A "party of the new type" is ut store for every Communist satel lite country in Europe. These Com munist parties are about to remold themselves in the image of the PIfnt party of the Soviet Union. ! The eventual result of this, per haps still a long way off, is the physical absorption of the satel lite parties into the Soviet Commu nist Party, which would mean, in effect, absorbing the countries in volved into the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. -r-r . ..There is multiplying evidence of thU program, but the most striking evidence dates back to the Alt Union Congress of th rmmni.t Party of the Soviet Union in Mos cow last month. The tipoff was in the adontion f new statutes of the Soviet Com munist Party. Paragraph 5. Sec- woo 1, uiause u, of the new sUtutes reads: .. - T - . "Persons who have ett ntht-'nav ties are admitted to the (Commu- parry on tne recommendation of five party members three having a membership of 10 years uu two woo were party, me-nbers -sore tne revolution, and only - ougn the primary party organi ati0Sv"rith iatory confirma tion by the Central Committee of Communist Party of the Soviet aavaa . i - - i Except possibly in the Baltic re publics absorbed before the war, there can hardly be anybody around who has "left other par ties." - r. - t ". There has been only one party in the Soviet Union since the Commu nists took over. And the terms of the clause are such as to make it impossible for i any of the Baltic outsiders to enter the Communist Party. - : . - -. - Actually, what the clause seems to mean is that the satellite parties must adapt their own 'statutes and state constitutions to those of the Soviet party. This is being done. ine rast terman Democrauc Republic" ' Party has just an nounced that there would be meet ings of leaders to build a "party of tLe new type."; From Czechoslovakia comes the announcement of the party Central Committee of a nationwide party meeting to draft ne- statutes "aft er the Soviet model-'and to elect a new Central Committee, me new statutes, ready in ad vance for automatic adoption, have been announced by party boss Ele ment GottwakL Czechoslovak pres ident who attended the Moscow congress. -; - : ; jnuar steps -are under way in the other satellite countries. This development by no means anects only the rarties of these co"-tr:3s. It at:cts an prases of the life of East Germany, Czecho slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bul garia and Poland. a The people in all these countries . Are being, driven to comply with tne terms of tne Soviet ziftn five- year plan. : Meetings in these countries to discuss" the Moscow congress, the Soviet party statutes and "the genius work of Comrade Stalin. have 'come up with some curious manifestations. - ' Czechoslovak workers, for exam ple, are quoted in Pravda -and oth er Soviet papers as saying things like this: - - "Now . it is impossible to work in any other way. Our- answer to the speech of Comrade Stalin is simple and clear: To turn out more production, not to grudpe .our strength in the quicker building of Communism. From Hungary, workers at simi lar meetings are quoted as saying things like this: I consider it our greatest duty to study deeply the soeech of Comrade Stalin, (and) all the material of the 19th (Mos cow) . Congress of the party. Dragooned legions of Poles. Czechs. Bulgars, Romanians and Hungarians have been obliged, wil ly nilly, to proclaim themselves as members of the "shock brigade of Communism, serving only Stalin. Only the actual mechanics of complete absorption, remain to be .accomplished. , Abant the Inaaaeratioa To The Editor: - On the eve of the election, the President-elect delivered a brief address expressing his willing ness, and his feeling of duty, to dedicate himself to the immen sity of the duties our nation so overwhelmingly conferred on him by the popular vote. What a wonderfully fine thing it is for him to take such an attitude of the situation ... - No candidate, from the begin ning of time to date, has ever enjoyed such a gigantic erpres- inn In aKilitv and leadershin. than - Presiden-Elect Dwight JX, ,nA Placed ViunWn On different occa- - occureo. sions in his previous career, and -during the recent campaign, he ' has expressed his faith and trust in God. We are a Christian na tion .... "Righteousness exalte th a na tion but sin is destruction to any . people". Any one doubting the above quotation need only refer to the record of the past of na tions who forgot God. The UJ5JSJL is doomed to. fall in time as certain asnhe is now pursuing the most wicked course of any nation in the universe. In about 60 days we will in augurate the president elect, Dwight D. Elsenhower. In the past, inaugurations have been' conducted in a spirit that is not too becoming to the greatest Christian nation on earth, which we are. Governments are or dained by God and it is on?r be-' fitting that the head of a Chris tion nation as we are be inaugu rated and dedicated by religious' and solemn ceremony. Then, and then only may w expect divine guidance. What a be trayal of'Our trust as Christians, to conduct the inauguration af a president of the greatest Chris tian nation on earth with an eye only for pleasure and hilarity, as has been done on many an in augural occasion in the past. Why could not the rninisterial associations and the Cotmcil of Churches of Christ of America I have voted in several Presi dent! elections, but never with such complete admiration of my stead the ROK (Republic ef Ko rea) regimental command port re ported merely that areea Chinese candidate as X did for Stevenson.
