Audit Bareaa of Circulation A Place to Be Caref ul The intersection of State and 12th Street ap pears to have established itself as Sjalem's most perilous corner. Fortunately, three parked cars were unoccupied when a huge log tumbled onto them there Tuesday. A few weeks ago the tally .was one dead and one seriously injured In an Srly-morning car-train accident at the same corner. A state policeman was killed there in 1951 when his idling motorcycle catapulted him beneath the wheels of a freight train. Lesser accidents involving trucks, pedestrians, autos and trains have been numerous. Located on the rim of the State Capitol grounds and Willamette University, the inter section also catches the brunt of traffic bound for the North Santiam canyon as well as north south traffic that follows the 12th Street bypass. Completion of the new bypass highway near Lancaster Drive, it is hoped, will make the 12th and State Street intersection less travelled and, therefore, somewhat less hazardous. For the present, it is a place for both motorists and pedestrians to exercise extreme alertness. Backorders on the Bible If you haven't yet purchased your copy of the RSVB the Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible chances are you're going to have to wait some weeks to obtain one. That is the word from the New York publish ing center which handles the orders for this im mensely popular new publication. Since Sep tember 30, more than 1,600,000 copies have been old but of these, perhaps some 600,000 copies Mfkresent unfilled orders. There are five print ing firms running day and night to produce about 75,000 copies a week, and still the sup plies are weeks behind the demand. A little-known fact to many laymen is the advertising and promotion campaign which has accompanied the publication of this new version of the Bible. A half million dollars is being spent. Someone of course had to come up with the standard comparison of the size of 1,600,000 copies of the RSVB. Each is 1 inches thick, and piled one atop the other, they'd reach a long way up toward heaven 24 miles, in fact. That's higher than 100 Empire State Buildings, in case you've been in New York City lately and craned your neck upward to peer at the top of this structure. Classroom All-Important The other day we mentioned the "fine new look" of a dozen valley schools which have add ed educational and artistic value to their com munities by the construction of new buildings. Today we'd like to point out the second evi- Prospects Considered Slim for Construction Of More Steam Power Plants for Northwest By A. ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON Prosp e c t re considered slim that the in coming 3rd Congress will au thorize government-built and op erated steam power plants for the Pacific Northwest, despite everity of this year's i electric power shortage. Biggest unknown factor in ninds of lawmakers here is the possible attitude of the new In terior Secretary, Gov. Douglas McKay, for without his sponsor ship or endorsement, steam plant legislation would likely die of neglect in the GOP-controlled committees of Congress. McKay has been unwilling thus far to discuss his ideas on Interior poli cies prior to consultations with President-elect Eisenhower. Even If this view should be upheld in the committee. It would have only slight effect up on the Pacific Northwest during the next few years inasmuch as Congress has already authorized a backlog of hydro-electric dams for the Columbia basin. The only hurdle remaining Is to gain ap proval of funds for construction, and Dondero's committee has no control over this aspect. But this reported view would be an obstacle to approval of steam plants, which have never been authorized for Bonneville or other power agencies under the Interior Department for which they have at varying times been requested. Interior has un successfully asked; Congress for funds to build two steam plants in the southwest and another in California integrated with the Central Valley project. Leading the suppo at of steam plant legislation on Don dero's committee will be two Pa c i f I c Northwest Republicans, Rep. Homer D. Angell of Port land and Russell V. Mack of Ho quiam. Angell, who is second to Dondero in seniority. Is slated to become chairman of the sub committee on Rivers and Har bors, and Mack expects to be appointed head of the Flood Con trol group. Only other bright spot in the steam plant outlook will be the absence on the committee next year of the only Pacific North west Congressman who openly opposed the bill. Rep., John T.

Dondero last year was the most persistent critic of the Bon neville steam plant bill when it was considered and subsequently approved by the Public Works Committee. Joined by seven col leagues (S Republicans, 1 Demo crat), Dondero signed a report charging that government-built steam generators would set a precedent which would destroy one of the last barriers to the Marxian state."

That's why a recent proposal to the State Board of Education is rather so disturbing. The board last week heard a suggestion from an Ohio education professor that (1) all its units be permitted to offer full teacher training, and that (2) it offers a basic liberal arts education program in all six schools which are a part of the system. With the first of these, we agree. It will strengthen our teacher colleges, especially the one at Monmouth. But if Monmouth and La Grande and Ashland start offering full liberal arts "education," what is Oregon's real educa tional pattern going to be? The present liberal arts work offered in institutions like Willam ette and the University of Oregon would be weakened. The colleges of education could hardly be kept to a high standard. Cost to the taxpayers would soar, .because, we are told, it would cost more to do a second-rate job at Monmouth and LaGrande and Ashland than it now does to do a first-class job at Eugene. What goes on in the classroom still is the important thing. Editorial Comment WHY WE CALL THEM GIs' Russia's Foreign Minister Vishinsky talks none sense when he says the United States considers its soldiers government chattels because it calls them "GIs" standing for government issue. One of the compensations for the rigors of army training is that everything outside of post exchanges is issued by the government. Uniforms, shelter hal ves, tent poles, canteen, gas mask, pick and shovel for digging in. blankets, rifle and bayonet if the soldier is an infantryman, toilet articles, barracks bag, shoes and stockings, helmet, everything is "GI." He does not get these necessities all at once. When he is sure that he has received all that he can pos sibly transport, he finds himself in another long line at the supply room waiting for something that has been omitted. He does not have to pay for it and he cannot reject it. It is "GI." So, it was that these letters were tossed back and forth frequently in army camps during the last war. Such remarks as "Give me some of that GI soap1 were heard a hundred times a day. Men whonad recently stepped out of civilian life seemed to find satisfaction in emphasizing the fact that their equipment was issued by the government. Soon they were calling each other "GIs," and as these initials simplified the task of deadline writers, it is not sur prising that they became the successor of "dough boy," which was the name for the United States in fantryman in World War I. Only Vishinsky, or someone else who is trying hard to make trouble for this country, could find any evil implication in this acceptance of the army recruit's own language. This, however, is not to give either "doughboy- or "GI" our unqualified indorse ment. "Soldier" is an excellent word to use when speaking of soldiers. (St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) Female Hormones Being Tested In Disease Causing Nosebleeds Nosebleeds are not usually dangerous, and generally stop by themselves if the blood clots properly. Other types of nose bleed result from serious dis orders of the blood or blood ves sels, and present a different problem altogether. A common cause of nosebleed is an injury to the nose. Certain body conditions may, however, predispose a person to nosebleed when an injury is not the im mediate cause. These conditions include infections, clotting diffi culties of the blood, and diseases such as rheumatic fever or leukemia. a a a One of the most difficult types of nosebleed to check, though not too common, comes from a con dition known as telangiectasia. This disease is usually heredi tary, but is not apt to show up before a child has reached his 'teens. It is most likely to oc cur during the 30's and 40's. It usually starts with a thinning of the walls of the blood vessels. This makes them rupture and bleed easily. The inside of the nose in these people is a brilliant red. If the disease is also present in the skin, it is a red-violet shade. Usually this disease can occur in the skin or the intestine, but is also fairly common in the nose. Persons affected with it tell of spitting or vomiting blood, or passing blood in the urine or stool. Some may even have brain hemorrhage. Dilated blood vessels beneath the finger-nails usually give a clue that this con dition bay be causing the nose bleeds. a These nosebleeds are persis tent. Many times pressure packs have to be kept in the nose many days, and even then they may not stop the bleeding. X-rays, radium, and snake venom have been offered as measures to control this disease, but the results have been very slight. Recently, It has been shown that nosebleeds from telangiec tasia can be controlled with fe male hormones. In a small group of patients tested, hor mone treatments reduced the number and severity of the nosebleeds. One patient has not had a nosebleed for the past year. The way the hormones work is not known. However, fur ther tests will be made, and If they are eouallv successful. mose suiiering from telangiec tasia can iook forward to relief QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS P. G.

He had high praise for Wilson, the next secretary of de fense, and for Humphrey, the de sienate for secretarv nf th treas ury. He predicted the Eisenhower team would "do things," such as press for resource development. He was even optimistic over the prospect of cooperation with la- oor which will settle for the re vision of the Taft-Hartley law and not insist on rental. Certainly the security markets seem to share his optimism, for iae uecemDer slump often at tributed to selling for tax-loss purposes has not materialized. As far as government spending is concerned, the chance for any anarp reaucuon in the next fiscal year is not britrht. Anr atn-im of military action in Korea will call for more spending.

The disease is chronic and, in most instances, cannot be permanent ly cleared up, there being a marked tendency for the erup tion to recur. X-ray treatments seem to be the most satisfactory way to clear up the eruption tempo rarily. A lotion containing zinc sulphate, sulphur, and sulphur ated potassium is helpful. Ra dium has also been used in treating the disorder. The new drugs, ACHT and cortisone, have been very helpful in treating this disease. (Copyright. 1953. Cing reaturaa) Water forecast Coordination Set by Bureaus MEDFORD LP A coordinated forecasting program by the Weather Bureau and the Soil Con servation Service to provide "the most accurate and comprehensive information to be had on pros pective water supplies" was an nounced here Wednesday. The program, announced in a joint statement by the Depart ments of Commerce and Agricul ture, is also aimed at eliminating confusing reports in the past, par ticularly on possible flood condi tions. Divergent forecasts have been issued in the past by the two fed eral agencies. The SCS bases its forecasts on snow course measure ments and other data, while the Weather Bureau uses precipitation measurement and. climatological analysis as the basis for its fore casts. The Weather Bureau district of fices will continue to issue short range forecasts of river stages. The SCS will continue to provide data to soil conservation districts.

CP The United States assailed Russia Thursday for blocking an Austrian independence treaty. It accused the Russians of imperialistic aims and urged the -U. N. to throw its moral weight behind a move for a four-power settlement on Aus tria. Austria's Foreign Minister Karl Gruber at the same time gave firm notice in a news conference that his country, to keep itself united, will not seek a separate treaty with the West. He said any pact without the signature of Rus sia would not achieve the unity the Austrians demand. The U. S. position was outlined by Benjamin V. Cohen to the U.N. Political Committee. Speaker after speaker urged the Russians to co operate on writing a treaty. The Soviet delegation and its four satellites sat silent, taking notes but making no speeches. They have said the U. N. has no business discussing the Austrian treaty question. The committee continues debate Friday. "It is not the Western powers' insistence on the exact terms of a long or a short treaty which stands in the way of the restora tion of a free and independent Austria," Cohen said. "It is, I am sorry to say, the intransigence of the Soviet Union which continues to use Austria as a pawn for its own imperialistic purposes and its own aggrandizement. The Western powers are willing to accept any treaty in terms adequate to ensure the restoration of Austria's inde pendence and its freedom from for eign domination." Cohen said a resolution spon sored by Brazil, Lebanon, Mexico and The Netherlands asks only simple justice for Austria. It ap peals to France, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union to agree on a treaty. "We are entirely willing to meet with representatives of the Soviet Union to discuss and conclude such a treaty," Cohen said. "We will meet again and again and again. Feature Homecoming at SHS By NORMAN LUTHER Statesman School Reporter The annual homecoming assem bly at Salem High School was held in the school auditorium Thursday afternoon with songs by the school choir, a skit and in troductions of past student-body presidents and their classes on the agenda.
