In-chief who so recently was given a resounding
vote of national confidence.
I As one of the original sponsors of the Willam
ette Valley Project and an aggressive member
of the Columbia Basin Interagency Committee,
McKay has long taken an active and fruitful
part in reclamation and conservation of natural
resources. . So, too, has he been an advocate of
joint federal-state action in such matters. And
as governor of Oregon he has rounded his ex
perience and interests with a practical education
as a large-scale administrator.
. With McKay Iheading the interior department
and Sen, Guy Cordon whom many say might
have had the secretaryship had he so desired
as third in command of the important senate in
terior and insular affairs committee, Oregon in
deed is well represented in an important seg-

Under current interpretations of the law, able
Senate President Paul Patterson would assume
; the governorship should McKay resign prior to
the election of a neW senate president when the
legislature meets Jan. 12. It can be said that the
: state would be in good hands. "

praising Britain if the boys are shown the type
of hospitality that merits it.
Norway Hails Ike
It is most heartening to know that most of our "
foreign friends believe the election of Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower to the Presidency was a
wise and well-earned choice. This view is re
flected markedly in a statement last week by
Norway's Premier Oscar Torp and in comment
by Arbeiderbladet, main organ of the Norway
Labor Party.
Premier Torp observed:
"From'our viewpoint. It Is Important to note
the fact that even in the heat of the bitter elec
tion campaign, no basic differences were ex- -pressed
with regard to U. S. foreign policy. '
"Both in peace and war, General Elsenhower
, .has made unique contributions to the benefit of
Europe. It is my conviction that the firmly es-'
v tablished cooperation between the United States
and Western Europe will be continued, by and
large unchanged, under the new President."
Arbeiderbladet' s editorial said in part:
"Hardly any American President designate
has enjoyed such a good name abroad before his
election as General Eisenhower. He was in chief
command of the Allied forces which liberated
Western Europe from the Nazi yoke, a difficult
and trying task. He won his greatest reputation,
not as a field commander, but as an 'organizer
and mediator who was able to bring about .
' smooth cooperation among armies and generals
from many countries. It .was bis straight-forward
manner and commorisense that won him
the requisite authority. -
"This rare ability to inspire confidence made
General Eisenhower the natural choice to direct
. ; the organization of Western Europe's defense
;- .under the North Atlantic Treaty. We looked up
on him as a guarantee that the United States
would follow, a moderate and sound policy in
Europe."
It's possible we did promise the peeple a few things bef ere election
bat as men of Integrity we sans! set be swayed by sack
a preasare groan . . . -
With such good wishes from abroad, our new
President should be off to a good start in his
avowed efforts toward world peace.

treatments which relieve suSrr

such treatment Is to create a

In working with these new
methods, doctors are continually

They know that the final cure, if

Leukemia Is due to an abnor

Important function of fighting
disease germs In the body How
ever, in leukemia, these cells
multiply way beyond normal. A
number also get Into the blood
stream before they are fully de
. veloped to perform their work.
Usually a white blood count
up to ten thousand white blood
cells Is considered normal. In
leukemia, it may go up past fifty
thousand, and even to the hun
dreds of thousands.
Leukemia usually starts sud
denly with fever and weakness.
ana also beings an anemia, or
shortage of red blood cells. The
many white cells seem to "crowd
out" the red cells, which are
needed to carry oxygen and food
to the different parts of the body.
, Nosebleeds are fairly common.
and there may be hemorrhages
In the skin and Inside the body.
These are due to a shortage of
blood platelets, needed to the
blood for proper clotting. In ad
dlUon,- the spleen and lymph
glands are usually enlarged.
Many treatments have had lim

and adults with leukemia. One
of the best so far Is with cer

cause they Interfere with the use
of a vitamin, folic add. This

However, the white cells seem
to use more folic acid than the
red cells. By cutting down the
folic add, the anU-vitamins re

and give the blood system
chance to return to normal.

Better English
By D. C. WILLIAMS
no butter and milk, but they haven't grown to'
like it. It is no secret in Britain that the boys
on the American air bases eat royally, by Eng
lish standards. And the British people, know that
some of the perishable food on the! mess hall
tables! come from their own dwindling supplies.
The, British are a proud (not arrogant) people
who dislike having to pay 70 cents tax per pack'
on their cigarets, but like no better the way
many Americans condescend to pass around a
few of their own less expensive but better tast
ing brands.
: Britons are quiet, but when stirred are quick
to let you know that they are far more impress
ed with the traditions and culture of their own
nation than they are with the mechanical gad
gets of America.,! , i '
. We understand that greater efforts are to be
made to bring about understanding between the
British and the U. S. airmen. This program is
bound to succeed because both nations are po
pulated by friendly people...
Our boys will learn upon closer contact with
, the British that the manners and philosophy of
aiasfe
tended to parts of the Willamette Valley. It
would be a big boost to Industry.

Editorial Comment
