Hence a policy statement by tha Attorney General helps to set a standard for lo cal enforcing officers. In his memorandum Thornton made clear the fact that prime responsibility for enforcing crim inal law rest with local authorities, primarily the district attorneys, sheriffs and police. The Attorney General is required by law. to consult with, advise and direct District Attorney; and Thornton assured the DAs of his readiness to give full cooperation and to furnish the services of an assistant attorney general in prosecutions if requested. - , ; , This policy is in extension of that pursued by his predecessor, George Neuner, who was a well known scourge for evil doers in his long career as District "Attorney, U. S. District Attorney, and Attorney General: What needs to be emphasized however is that enforcement depends in large masure on local pressures. Unless the public, in sists on strict enforcement officials are apt to grow las) and ftplerant of violation until some scandal breaks which stirs them to action. Like liberty, law enforcement calls for eternal vigil ance. But it is reassuring to have in the state highest legal office one like Thornton who takes a positive stand for law enforcement and gives avert indication Of meaning what he says. The- Approach From the West The hearings on proposed zone code revisions in West Salem are a sure sign that the Polk County section of our growing city wants to keep pace with the Marion County side.

Americans have noted with increasing un easiness the evidence of communist influence in Guatemala, and Red activities in Costa Rica and El Salvador. ' The extent bf the communist threat is the subject of a recent lecture at Dartmouth by Spruille Braden, former assistant secretary of state, in which he warns that a conspiracy made up of communists, Peronistas and old Nazis "can cause us to lose this hemisphere just as we did China. He places much of the blame for pres ent conditions on the U.S. Democratic adminis trations. ? Through Point IV and other aid programs the U.S. helped promote rather than diminish com munism, says Braden. He does not believe that South America's poverty-arid illiteracy , lead to communism, instead communism thrives under industrialization and higher living standard. By providing a better break for the poor pea sants and workers, the U.S. helps the Reds, he infers. ; . ..

Braden also recommends that we must sup press communism "even by force." This, he feels, would not constitute an intervention in the in ternal affairs of the country in which "are" moved " to act forcefully. Does Braden really mean the U.S. should, for instance,4 send the marines in to overthrow the Red-tinged gov ernment of Guatemala, as we sent the marines to Nicaragua in 1909? As for Braden's. high -handed advocacy of "dollar diplomacy" and the old "put down the natives" policy of the European imperialists, we see more good sense and hope in the discussion of joint anti-Red action by South American Robert Allen Will Find Widely Traveled Pair Of Slides to Fill in India Post j of Chester Bowles By HA&OLD K.

Eastern Mediterranean safe from Soviet ' aggression. Later Tito said the two had "reached the same conclusions in greatest accord." - During the discussions attended, by top British strategists, Chur chill took Tito and Yugoslav Pe- ' fense Chief Gen. MHos Shumonja to his private map room at tha Whitehall Defense Ministry. While : the leaders were confer- '" ring In secret, Tito's foreign mini ster, Koca Popovic, told Britain's Parliament that Communist, anti- Soviet Yugoslavia would fight on the side of the West "if the need arises." Popovic declared his government would support the West "regard less of the fact that Yugoslavia is not a member of NATO." r "She win do it just as resolutely and consistently as she has been fighting for the safeguarding of peace so far," Popovic declared. . Tito, took time out from state affairs Thursday night to attend the ballet. During an Intermission he went backstage and chatted, with ballerina Moira Shearer. . "Would you like soma cham pagne?" he asked the red haired dancer, -'-v-' "No thanks, she smiled. "I itfll have to dance." While Yugoslav leaders were busy building up good-will, tha Belgrade Radio came out with a blast against the government owned British Broadcasting Corp. It accused BBC of "biased mis representation" in its Serbo-Croat language broadcasts of Tito's visit BBC denied the charge. Belgrade Radio declared BBC reported last Tuesday that Tito and his party were received "in silence" , during a sight-seeing tour in the British capital. "But the British and other for. eign journalists were able to sef and hear for themselves the greet ing and applause of the Londoi people which BBC correspondent could also have heard," the Bel grade broadcast said.

Reports, tell - us that certain germs are becoming resistant to the more common antibiotics the . more they are being used. This does not necessarily mean that antibiotics must give us less pro tection, for .there is another side to' the picture. - There is Uttle doubt that many antibiotics are yet to be discov - ered, and we are finding new 'ones right along. We 'are also learning more about the right ways to use the older antibiotics, such as penicillin. ' - a e That is why we repeat, time and time again, that for the in dividual, the best and safest pre caution is to avoid taking anti biotics unless prescribed by your physician. While penicillin Is perhaps one of the most widely jised of these powerful drugs, there are several others - which are more desirable at times, in cluding streptomycin, aureomy cin, terramydn and chloramphe nicoL . Your doctor - can choose the right antibiotic,' and recognize when the treatment is not work ing - as It should. Certain anti biotics may cause monilia (mold) Infections of the mouth. Intes tines and vagina as a complica tion of their use. " Penicillin has been In use so ' long that certain strains or bac teria may become resistant to it. Resistance to the other antibi otics may also be growing. - Newer " antibiotics also s give your doctor, additional weapons against the resistant germs. One antibiotic discovered recently is , erythromycin. Its effectiveness seems closely similar to that of ' penicillin, and - in certain in stances it seems at times to be even more effective, i Organisms, such as streptococ- -d, that have proven resistant te penicillin have been killed with this new antibiotic. They also : seem to develop resistance to this drug more slowly than to peni cillin and the other antibiotics. Erythromycin has been found effective against whooping cough, and diphtheria, among the con tagious diseases. It helps stub born infections of the skin, as well-as the important venereal disease, gonorrhea. Many cases of tonsillitis, carbuncles, and boils - have responded well te 'treatment with erythromycin, as have severe cases of bone infec tion from osteomyelitis. The preparation Is given by mouth. . It is believed this 'drug wfll be particularly effective against certain types of pneumonia and . streptococcic Infections, includ ing the one commonly known as trep" sore throat.' . Diarrhea Is one of the discom forts from other antibiotic drugs in certain cases. Erythromycin ' has caused practically no cases , ef diarrhea, and has shown little or no toxic effects; New drugs, and more careful use of j tne older ones are thus one of the answers of science te the resistant germs.
