The rail- roads of course had to justify the increases; they sought from the regulatory commissions;! and it is true that rail freight rates have not risen as high percentagewise as the prices of . commodities and services. j f On the other hand increases of this type, have served to give a measure of protection, to Northwest industry within the local mar ket. Eastern manufacturers find their freight rate lifted high under the percentage system,; which reduces their ability to compete. Thus the rise in rates serves to help some and hurt, other local industries. It is hot easy to see how downward adjust-' ments can be made. However some are com-; ing. A recent report said that the rate on trans-continental carload shipments of canned goods would be cut ten cents per cwt. And in Punnwlvania trip railroads are slashing stCet- rates to recapture some business lost to trucks.;' Competition may help file down some rate in creases of late-years. j f Hide With Tail on Timber j The approval of patenting 23 mining claims to the- Al Serena Mines, Inc. by Clarence A.f Davis, solicitor of the Interior Department! points up the need for a revision of our ax-1 chaic mining laws. Though the Forest Service protested that only eight of the claims madej any real showing of minerals and though the regional office of the Bureau of Land Manage-1 ment had rejected demand for patents to 15 of j the claim and had its ruling sustained by the I director 6f the Bureau the solicitor of the de-j partment hearing the case on appeal, decided f in favor of the company. I ' j The bite comes in the fact that getting the; land under the mining laws the company gets; the timber tfiat is on the land. In this case the; timber has an estimated value of $150,000 or! more; so if no mining is done the patentees have made a sizeable fortune. f Just why should the timber go with the! minerals? Here the hide seems to go with thef tail. ; . I Not knowing the facts the public cannot! form judgment on the merits of the claims fori mining purposes. The legal processes have I been pursued and the judgment rendered. But it is time the mining law was revised to pre- vent unjust enrichment by acquiring valuable; timber simply on a showing that there mayf be some valuable minerals under the surface.! The timber should first be sold and then the! land turned over for mineral development. J. The bureau of land management has long I urged revision of the mining laws, but mining! associations have always been strong enough! to fend off such a revision. Maybe this casef will prod Congress to action. Otherwise tim-j bermen will be haunting the mountainsides I disguised as prospectors, j f 'FORGIVE, AND EORGEf Headline of the week is: "Sen. McCarthy!

Now he says he was in error and excuses himself by saying he made the statement in svmDathv for Robert! Stevens, present Secretary of the Army. That mmmmmBKK is strange reasoning: to blame another person so as to absolve one person by blaming an in- nocent man.

'All kinds of people, black fxA white, Swede and Italian, batcher and banker, are putting tneir hearts into it, in many ways, in many tongues. In itself, the church isn't so much. But its life spans one 'of the most graphic transformations in the religious development of American democracy. It holds a story of birth and change, of growth and pain and especially of discovery.

S. Senate, where they have numerical control, to the program sent to Congress by the Eisenhower administration this year, a special usefulness has been found for Sen. Wayne Morse. Still calling himself an inde pendent and remaining technical ly aloof from the organization machinery of either major party, Morse is a member of the anti- aaministration coauuon wnote makeup is as changeable and often as threatening as the wea ther. This coalition usually com prises many Democrats, liberal and conservative, a sprinkling of conservative Republicans and the Oregon orator. The changeableness of the coa lition is dictated by the issue of the moment When Eisenhower presses for additional foreign aid) the anti-administration coali tion loses members from the Democratic party which fathered the program and picks up mem bers from the neo-isolatiomsts, mostly from GOP ranks. But when he asks to reduce farm price supports, the coalition of opponents gathers in many Dem ocrats and a scattering of mid west Republicans. Ironically, Morse is the most frequent member of this coali tion, while those least often in its midst are the Republican liber als among whom Morse used to count himself before bolting the party. Bolstering this operational pat tern.' for the critical 1954 session is .the Democratic strategy to op pose tne president only on select ed issues, but also to gain what profit they can from the every day onslaughts of Sen. Morse and the periodic forays of such Re publicans as Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy (R-Wis.) and Sen. John Bncker (R-Ohio). . This plan was not arranged Jointly by the Democrats and Morse, but is one which has sim ply emerged purely from the na ture of the circumstances and the personalities of the participants. Wily Sen. Lyndoa Johnson, the Democratic leader from Texas, has counseled his forces not to attack the popular president frontally, but to use a large mea sure of finesse m playing the anti-Eisenhower Republicans off against the chief executive, res cuing the president on important Issues when GOP opposition threatens its approval, jumping on 1 Eisenhower programs only as their substance requires. - But Democrats' take up this strategy well knowing that as they wander through the thicket of presidential proposals to Con gress, Wayne Morse will be a few paces ahead Swinging his broad ax at every hew sapling Eisen hower plants.; Since he is not one of the "outs' without being lia ble for his blunders. That is. if; Morse should hap pen to hack down a few unmark ed firs, they lean turn away and explain, "I nver saw the guy be fore in my life." But if his buck ing and falling is as selected as they would like, the Democrats can haul the. timber to the mill and profit from the transaction. The closest Morse comes to any alliance with: the Democrats is when, by infitation, he is often brought into the strategy ses sions of the- liberals on specific issues. But; it is not the liberal Democrats who control their par ty's actions in the Senate or the House. 1 I Democrats and Morse are far thest apart in modus operandi. Democrats as a whole move from the premise that the president has sent Congress in his state of the union message an outline which generally appears to be a conservative version of the pro grams they drew up under Roos evelt and Truman, and since these are more conservative times it is foolhardy to attack for the sake of attacking a Republi can president whose popularity is. largely undiminished among the electorate. ; I Morse operates from the prem ise that the Eisenhower adminis tration must be discredited at ev ery turn, which requires his cry ing "wolf" 365 days a year no matter for the fact that the ears of the electorate may become cry. ! I Youir Health By Dr. Herman Sondesea Despite social and geographi cal differences, all of humanity is divisible into four blood groups A( AB, B, and O refer ring, of course, to types of blood. However, it bis been found that in addition, there are thousands of factors! in the blood which differentiate blood specimens. Now, before giving a blood transfusion even between two persons of the same type of blood, the blood is carefully matched to see if there is any unfavorable reaction between the blood of the donor and that of the person receiving the transfusion. . .;. If there; is an incompatibility and the transfusion is given, the patient may become very seri ously ilL There may be a gen eralized tingling throughout bis body, difficulty in breathing, pain in the chest, flushing -of the face and severe aching of the bones. He may develop all the symptoms of severe shock, have a feeble pulse, be cold and clammy, and have a fall in his blood pressure. After this, a severe chill develops and the temperature goes up to a very high level. The urine usually has a reddish color and the per son may become jaundiced. Rh factor is one of the many that may cause an incompatibil ity. Other sub-types have been found, such as M and N, and many different types of Rh factors have been discovered. j " In cases where it is difficult to prove parenthood as, for example, a mix-up of babies in a hospital nursery, the parent hood of the baby might be found by determining all the blood types' and other factors of the blood since they are trans mitted by heredity to the infant Even though all these new factors have been discovered; in the blood, fortunately only the A. B. O. AB and Rh factors have to be taken into account in trans fusions in most instances. If the blood of the donor and the re cipient is of the same type, and if it is then carefully matched to see if any reaction occurs, there will 'usually not be any difficulty in giving a trans fusion.

Subsequent events might constrain one or the other to resign, but there is nothing at all to indicate that either has such a move, in contemplation.

ISM, Kin restores) IB Isn officials was that the Koreans need to stay home to guard against a possible renewal of the war with Red China there. They also feared the possibility that Ko rean intervention in Indochina might produce direct Red Chinese intervention. The United States would like to get most of its troops out of South Korea as rapidly as possible. Two divisions already have been or dered home. The Pentagon idea is ; reported to be that when the ; South Ko reans have 20 fully-equipped divi sions they now have 16 only one United States division, and an other made up of forces from the other United Nations involved, would be needed. The reaction of the French, who are conducting the Indochinese war while the United States foots about two thirds of the bill, was very similar to that in Washing ton. It was based primarily on the fear of provoking Peiping. -. The offer by President Rhee of South Korea, however, fits right into the idea expressed by Presi dent Eisenhower during his elec tion campaign that Asian peoples should unite to defend: themselves against Communist inroads. It would remove some of the stigma attached now to the Western ef fort to defend the people of Indo china from something which a vast number of them prefer to con tinued association with France. Most important of all would be the lesson offered these very people by some thousands of men who have fought the Communists to preserve their own country. Its effectiveness would be greatly en hanced if the division were heavily infiltrated with former North Ko rean prisoners of war who refused to return to their own homes rather than exist under Commu nist rule. It seems obvious that if this war is to be won France is going to have to guarantee the independ ence of the three ' Ihdochinese states, within the French Union if they will accept that, outside of it if they will not - A few thousand Koreans who have seen what collective secur ity under the United Nations can mean to a small, poor and strug gling country might have consid erable effect on the frame of mind of peoples in Indochina. If the final decision is against acceptance of Rhee's offer of a formal division, it might be a good idea to infiltrate a large number of qualified Koreans! into the do mestic armies of Indochina any way. Just for that purpose. 'Thm VWs-taiw u-fcs-ccrie7 , ftoscseHT Off Joflf f&'oAu Better English By D. C WILLIAMS L What is wrong with this sentence? "I dont know but that I made a mistake" 2.
