Musfer at the lemlin
The Kremlin is holding a gathering of the
clan: Jacob Malik has come from London,
Georgi Zarubln from Washington and Alexei
Pavlov is due in from Paris. Summoned also
are the tophands from East Germany, both
military and civilian. How many more are
being called to this Communist roundup isn't
disclosed; but the purpose of the gathering
is plain as a pikestaff.
Post-Stalin Russia has been losing its grip.
The East German riots and the labor resist
ance in Czechoslovakia expose the failure of
the Communist regimes to command public
support. Political liberty still has strong roots
in the satellite countries, especially when
nourished by poverty, hard labor and econo
mic distress. ''
Is this muster of the underlings proof that
Russia is going to a committee system of gov
ernment? Before this orders came from the
Strong Man in Moscow, Lenin or Stalin. Is
there any strong man in Moscow now? : Is
there a bitter feud for the succession to Sta
lin? Or is there a. genuine shift, as has been
hinted in the Soviet press, from one-man rule
to some collective?
And what will the decision be, whether
made by committee or by the Strong Man?
Will it be to revive the rule tf iron imposed
by Stalin (whose name meant steel)? Will it
be to continue puppet governments in ihe
satellites or to brush them aside and staff
them with Russians? Or will the decision! be
toward moderation, giving more autonomy to
the present satellites? f
The experience in East Germany warns
against relaxing controls,' for given a fraction
of an inch the rebellious Germans demanded
a mile. But tightening the grip by traditional
Russian methods of terror and force will in
spire sabotage if not open violence in resist
ance. The plagues of power now come to
roost on those who exercise it.
What will come out of the mass meeting at
the Kremlin we shall not know until it is
revealed in action and the Communists are
skilled at concealment. But the very fact that
this muster of the guard is called, this sum
mons of agents from distant capitals shows
that whoever govern Russia are taking a new
and close look at Russia's policies.
One thing seems certain: there will be, no
early Russian military attack. Even fear,
of the West or of the United States is now
superseded by fear of peoples behind the iron
curtain. Defection there endangers any large
scale military operation. That defection might
quickly spread within the USSR itself and
bring a revolution. The Russian masters will
not risk that Their first job is to protect
themselves in power and to do that they must
reduce internal resistance within the bounds
of the iron curtain.

Rhee's Conditions Impossible
Syngman Rhee, President of Korea
poses an impossible condition as preliminary
' to approving the truce with the Reds. He
wants a mutual security pact with the United
States, which in view of his fixed idea of
uniting Korea would almost insure another
war. Then he wants a time limit of three
months on the political conference, where
I unification is to be urged. If agreement is not
reached in that period then the war would
be resumed. That is almost a certain guaran
tee of war unless the Communists are more
eager for peace than has been indicated.
Stubborn, irascible old Syngman Rhee
wants United Nations to unify Korea by force
of arms if necessary; and apparently is will
ing to throw away the fruits of victory thus
far if his final goal is not realized soon.
Were it not for the sacrifices already made
the U.S. would certainly bej tempted to come
home and leave Rhee to his fate. That can't
be done; so we shall have to! wrestle with the
old man as well as the Redskin the grim hope
of reaching some Settlement.
Biddy Bishop was long Mr. Baseball in
Salem. He combined love of the game with a
native promotional instinct; and perhaps the
proudest moment of his life was when Wa
ters Park was opened to organized baseball.
It was Bishop who induced the late George
E. Waters to acquire the Bellingham fran
chise in Western International league and set
up the Salem Senators. It must have given
Biddy a thrill to see the Snators at the top
of the league this yeaf though his connection
with the club was severed fcnany years ago.

Congress No Rubber Stamp, But Ike's New
Policy of Persuasion Making Impression
INTERPRETING THE NEWS
By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
Associated Press News Analyst
President Eisenhower's policy of
persuasion rather than pressure in
dealing with Congress began to
show signs of paying some profit
this week, but there was certainly
no indication that this. Congress
would ever become a presidential
rubber stamp.
The President himself was very
moderate in his assessment of
progress made, confining himself
to a remark that the Republican
Party is gradually showing its
ability to assume responsibility
and carry it out.
Indeed, a major portion of ad
ministration effort so far has been
devoted to spadework.
'
The fight over the excess profits
tax -was a preliminary. The exten
sion is designed merely to keep
government revenue up until an
integrated tax program can be
worked out next year. It provided
a point, too, on which persuasion
failed and party pressure was re
quired for success. But it did ap
pear that the administration had
won.
The administration bad been de

New Penicillin Combinations
With the discovery of one
new wonder drug after another,
it should b remembered that
the old standby, penicillin, was
the original wonder drug, dis
covered in a mold.
Penicillin has p r o g r e s sed
from its early days, when it had
to be given every three hours
in order to keep up an adequate
blood leveL Now, in certain
cases, a combination of peni
cillin with other substances to
form a long-acting salt of pen
icillin has been, found which is
effective for as long as seven to
ten days, with just one shot
One of the early difficulties
with the then new and wonder
ful drug was the necessity of
giving it so often. Medical sci
entists then devised a mixture
f penicillin in oil and bees
wax. With this mixture it was
possible to give Injections
about every sixteen hours or
lb. However, this type of injec
tion was very painful to the pa
tient and brought many aller-.
gie reactions.
It was then-found that peni
cillin, when mixed with a local
anaesthetic agent known as pro
caine or novocain, did not elim
inate pain at the ait of the in
jection as was intended, but did
give a high blood level ef pen
icillin for twenty four hours.
Also, many of the allergic "re
actions due to the oil and bees
wax were eliminated.
This mixture of procais and
penicillin enables the physician
to give an injection of three
hundred thousand units or
more of penicillin daily in one
shot which will keep a high en
ough level of penicillin in the
blood stream to fight infection.
Nearly all types of infections
sensitive to penicillin can be
treated by this once-daily injec
tion. However, certain types of
meningitis that are sensitive to
penicillin may need it in high
er dosages.
Penicillin also can be mixed
with other substances to in
crease its long action. Penicil
lin combined with aluminum
monostearate in oil can give a
high level of. penicillin in the
blood for two to three days.
This type of treatment is being
used mainly for cases of syph
ilid which require treatment
over longer periods of time. j
Recently, a salt of penicillin
has been used which keeps it
self in the blood stream for sev
en to ten days. This type may
be very effective as a preventa
tive for rheumatic fever. j
Now, with the data much
more complete on what penicil
lin can and cannot do, it can
be ! estimated that many hun
dreds of thousands of lives have
been saved and will be saved in
the future by this forerunner of
the wonder drugs. w j
QUESTION AND ANSWER

my legs nightly.. I am sixty-four
years old. Is there anything
that might be of help? j

terim measure designed to carry
things along until there could be a
sweeping re-assessment of trade
policy as a whole, and on this Con
gress appeared willing to give the
President time, too.
Persuasion and faith in the Pres
ident's military knowledge were
prime factors in resolving the fight
over thecmilitary budget. Congress
got in its licks, but the administra
tion was definitely ahead on points.
Some dollar and' cents differ
ences remained after a general
compromise of differences over
mutual security expenditures, and
the fight on this score was expect
ed to be resumed when it comes
time to actually appropriate the
money. But the program author
ized by the Senate was not greatly
different from administration pro?
posals.
The Senate did inject on its own
a notice that thevU. S. would not
continue the load indefinitely. Eu
rope was told to get on its feet by
1955.
This was, however, something in
the nature of the four-year limit on
the Marshall plan, which MSA suc
ceeded. The nature of the times
win be the ultimate determinant
on that point.
The excess profits fight revealed
the administration as dominant in
the- House. Things are still more
fluid in the Senate, where party
regularity is always in conflict
with individualism. Signs of a
workable unity probably will in
crease as the 1954 elections ap
proach. The next Congress, far
better than this one, will show
whether the Republicans can co
agulate around a program.
labor Waste in Street Marking
To the Editor:
- Our city maintenance crew is
to be congratulated on the fine,
clean streets it maintains. How
ever, something I saw this morn
ing made me wonder if the de
partment is being run as effi
ciently as it might be.
A crew of three men was re
painting the parking lines
around the state buildings. One
of the men was running the
ppainting machine and the other
two were standing about watch
ing him. After he had painted
ten or twelve lines, one of the
other men took over and painted
a few lines, and so on. I fail to
see why three men are needed
for this operation.
When expenses are being cut
by eliminating personnel from
the First Aid ear and the fire
department why can't the city
pare expenses by cutting out
these "watchers", who are not
workers.
