Freight Rates and the Northwest f
It is true that railroad freight rates are "tool
high" to permit rapid expansion of certain;
types of industry in the West; and the system.
f hnri-mntai norrpTitaup increases followed sol
V a, livi b-w- - - - o s
steadily the past dozen years has resulted in,
contraction of the area which can be reached
economically with shipments of flour, canned;
goods, lumber from the Northwest. 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!
Admits Error." Previously ' Jumping Joe had
accused Undersecretary of War John J. Mc-
Cloy of ordering that records of Communists
in the Army be destroyed. 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. Wonder if his discovery of his er-l

him that McCoy is president of Chase Nation-i

NEW YORK m Brooklyn, a
big. tough, blustering, mixed ocean !
of humanity, is doing homage to '
a little, old church.
. Not just a half-way i job, either,
but the whole works.
There are meetings and procla
mations, banquet and pageants,
and speeches and parades. '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.

Brooklyn ever had.
It was started exactly 300 years
ago this week, when more trees

Statesman Correspondent
WASHINGTON In the polit
ical strategy which will largely
govern the approach of the Dem
ocrats in the U. 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

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.

" 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. I 1 t

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.
