His actions, in mental effect if not: in physical results, approximate those of thrill-seekers who have gone to any lengths, to satisfy an insatiable desire for sensalion. Such quirks in thinking are dangerous in the extreme. They have led to some of the most horrible crimes on record committed for no apparent reason. We don't know what; is in store for the boy. But his actions cannot be dismissed lightly, nor can they be regarded as merely a phase of adolescence. ; Another boy, not much older, is awaiting execution in the Oregon gas chamber because he "got a bright idea I was going to kill some body." Mental illness is a baffling factor! in maintaining an orderly society. But there ire behavior patterns in many cases which,! if proper cognizance is taken, can aid in antici pating future conduct. Illogical and abnormal behavior patterns have been apparent with regard to both these boys. One finally has committed the crime which apparently will lead to his death under law; The other has caused lots of commotion and trouble but per haps still is redeemable. We hope so. ( J The Aftermath of Mystery Mysterious dissappearances are bound to have their aftermath periodic reports of the lost being found. Such aftermath has been rather frequent in the case; of Amelia Ear hart, world-known aviatrix who disappeared nearly 17 years ago while flying from Lae, New Guinea, to Howland Island in the far Pacific ' , -j Now, such a report reaches Salem in a let ter directed to this city's George Putnam in the mistaken belief he was I the late George Palmer Putnam who was Amelia Earhart 's husband at-the time her plane was lost. The letter was from a former serviceman who said he was "positive" he sjiw Miss Earhart in the hands of natives on a South Pacific Is land during World War IL but that he could find no one wfeo placed credence in his story. Even accepting his sincerity, the search for Miss Earhart was so exhaustive at the time her plane dissappeared and so much was learned first-hand and otherwise about the once-little-known islands during America's military surge across the Pacific, that it would take considerable new evidence now to war rant another major effort td, locate her. Planes and ships combed the Pacific for hundreds of thousands of square miles in the days and weeks after July 3, 1937, when the radio at the U. S. Coastguard Station on the southwest slopes of the San Francisco penin sula lost contact with her plane. It was no cursory search. Miss Earhart was a world fig ure and nothing was left undone to find her. She has been reported on various islands in the ensuing years. Nothing jhas come of such reports, though initially they were followed through as much as possible; It is hardly to be expected that anything will; come of this one. But the element of doubt always remains. GFTNANDBFARTTi BvTJdity 'Fantastic' Idea Takes Form 1 ! America's east and west seaboards have no monopoly on gigantic construction projects, even though it sometimes seems that way. Now comes Michigan with the largest bridge program ever undertaken an $80 million span linking Michigan's two peninsula's which form the northern boundry of Lake Michigan. The plan, one called fantastic, was fjrst broached in an 1884 editorial in the Grand Traverse Herald (now the Traverse City Record-Eagle), which termed ferry service completely inadequate. Seventy years lter the idea starts to become reality. j The central suspension span of 3.800 feet will rank second only to the Golden Gate (4.200 feet), and the bridge with- approaches will be more than five miles- long. Center clearance of 148 feet will accommodate ,the largest vessels on the Great Lakes. Cost vill be about 30 per cent greater than the eight mile San Francisco-Oakland Bay 'Bridge, completed more than 15 years ago. j I The massive project, is worthy of the heart automobile row. : Dave Beck of the Teamsters' Union took crack at the administration for its "hard mon-? ey" policy. Since it is disclosed that Beck's? union is a big money-lender itself, and that? Dave is a heavy private investor himself, the hard money policy shouldnt seem so bad for him. Anyhow, it did put brakes on inflation,? the first step toward a stable economy. f ' j San Francisco's cable cars, are having a. fresh struggle for survival.! Most of the fam-J ous old cars are destined for the discard, but a group of local boosters are battling hard to; save them. Those who love San Francisco; can't think of the place without its pictur-l esque cable cars and ferries, though the lat-J ter are fewer since the bridges were built, i Another entertainer, Stan Getz, jazz musij cian, is in trouble as a drug addict.

A Creditable Job The new Oregon Blue Book, compiled; by the secretary of state's office and printed in Portland, has an attractive new format, con siderable additional material under many items, and is 50 pages larger than the pre vious one. It is unfortunate that a few errors crept in, but most of them apparently were due 'to the fact that compilers must accep in formation given them by various departments, some of which did not keep their material tip to date. The others are regrettable' gremlins of the trade. In major respects, the Blue Book is a creditable job and a valuable reference volume. 'I f One certainly wouldn't become an MP, (Member of Parliament) in order to get richj The pay is $2800 a year, and a committee recommends that it be raised by 50 per cent; In former years members received no salaryj so they had to have an outside income. The must need one now, too. Editorial Comment BEAVER, NOT VALENTINE, STATE j Arizona, which, like Oregon, was admitted to the Union on Valentine's day; is claiming the title of the Valentine state. We'vp noticed some little objection to this on the part of Oregonians who regard Oregon as the real Valentine state, with 53 years of priority. Probably we're more justly entitled to the title than our southwestern friends if we really wanted it But Oregon has a more distinctive title and one of more local geographic and historical significance, and we've grown up with it We're the Beaver stjate, and proud of it Our people traditionally haye some of the fine qualities of the beaver, on which the early eco nomy of the region was heavily based without, of course, any of his less desirable traits. On the whole, we're happy to be Beavers; we can, of course, observe Valentine's day just as all the rest of the states are doing. If Arizona wants to be the Valentine state, it's QK with us. (Albany Democrat-Herald.) Molotov Said to Have Won 3 Important Victories at Berlin All on Last Day of Meet By J. M. ROBERTS JR. Associated Press Newt Analyst Russia's Molotov won three im portant victories at the Berlin con ference, all on the last day. ; He very probably accomplished his one major objective, which was to delay and if possible defeat French ratification of the Euro pean Defense Community. He obtained agreement that Rus sia would sit in a Korean peace conference without having to as sume the position of a belliger ent, on which the United States had previously insisted. He secured a place for Red Chi na at a great world meeting. The reservation by the United States .' that this has nothing to do with i recognizing the Reds as the prop ( e.- rulers of China has little prac- LJ I ill 1 1 1 L Mil 1 fit L Committee work in the French assembly on EDC is nearing com pletion, and as late as Wednesday the government was expecting to press for a .vote in mid-March. i First reaction among official . French sources in the United States, subject to quick change, was that .the agreement for a new conference would not be permitted to interfere with this program. The matter of timing, however, was to be reviewed when Foreign Minister Bidault returned from Berlin. Consideration of the whole - situation suggested very strongly that the government would not win in the assembly at a time when such an affront to Russia would threaten negotiations on Indochina which are scheduled to follow the Korean talks at Geneva April 26. Molotov's long filibuster against EDC seemed to be working. ,'- -'v ; The effect of the decision to bold the Korean peace conference un der the aegis of the foreign min isters is to bypass the United Na tions, and perhaps to bypass some of America's old and most inter- r ested friends, like the Philippines. The door ; for participation at Ge neva by other than the major Ko rean belligerents was not closed, but it isn't very wide open, either. The Berlin decision means the end of efforts of the United States, representing; the United Nations, to make direct arrangements with Red China for a Korean confer ence, confirming the de facto sit uation which existed since the United States representative walk ed out at Panmunjom. M r I There is no prospect that such a conference wilt achieve anything i 3 Your Health except a confirmation of the divi sion of Korea, just as the Berlin sessions confirmed that of Ger many. The West has nothing ex cept peace to offer for a unified Korea, and ithe Reds are not In terested in that t The complexion of the con ference wills change after the Ko rean discussions to eliminate North and South Korean represen tatives and include Indochinese and perhaps other interests. There is a bare possibility of a truce in Indochina, but it is very bare, with no more chance for a Western vic tory than there was in Korea; I Dr. ! Br Herman inndesea SYMPTOMS that are "too late and too little" mask cancer of the ovary, and make it one of the most disturbing and difficult can cers to treat ' The deaths from this type of cancer of the female sex gland are fairly high. The majority of the cases, arise in women between fifty and" sixty years of age, and are more common after meno pause or change of life. There are too few symptoms and these symptoms occur late in the dis ease, further hindering its cure. I 1 Enlargement and pains of the abdomen, loss of weight, weak ness1, and bleeding after the menopause are the most fre quest complaints. Since these symptoms do occur late, a meth od has been sought to determine the disease at its onset It Is believed that if more women avail- themselves of rou tine female examinations at short intervals, especially after the age of menopause, many of these present, it is usually thought best to remove it surgically. f Any woman who has bleeding after the menopause should have an immediate examination to de termine the cause. f Usually, j women past the age of menopause are very reluctant to go thrdugh regular periodic examinations, but it is so import ant for their welfare. If a tumor is present; these examinations will disclose it and enable the treatment to start at once. j QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Mrs. E.B.: My grandson, who is six years old, shook all over and fainted while walking. I He had a looseness of his bowels aft er the attack. WLat could have caused this? I i ' Answer:!

Yes, Andy (Alvin Chil dress) still says it only his part is played by a different actor, as are all the roles on the CBS TVersion of the long-popular radio series. Amos (Spencer Williams) has much less to do than he has had on radio since the days of the old battery set with its trickle-charger. Kingfish (Tim Moore), usually thwarted by his wife and his mother-in-law, is the big man of the TV series. Al though the TVehiele is usually; hilarious, it does not seem to represent the old Amos and Andy. There's a certain spark of hu man interest lacking and that spark has always been supplied by Amos on radio. To be sure, it's uproarious to watch wry-faced Kingfish cringe when caught in one of this schemes, but why not put back the heart-beat we felt in one of the greatest shows of our time? i Silverton Boy Charged in Juvenile Court tatesnua News Senries SILVERTON The lS-year-old Silverton youth who kept this area in a stir with prank tele phone call?, was charged Thurs day by Marion County juvenile authorities at Salem with dis turbing the peace. He will anpear In juvenile court early next week for a pre liminary bearing on the charge. His two younger sisters, 12 and 13, have been released to their parents. The girls were involved with their brothers in making some of the calls, juvenile offic ers said. Officers said the youth admit ted making a series of calls dur ing the past month. They ranged from false fire alarm calls to threats on persons' lives. Police said they traced the callers "through a process of elimina tion." The boy, who officers say has a "fine" family background, is now being held in the county juvenile ward in Salem.

The book, a biennial volume published by Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, was printed last week by a private form in Port land. Distribution was held up to correct a page on which Supreme Court Justice William C Perry's picture was labeled "Arthur D. Hay. Hay died and Perry suc ceeded him.

Pri-' vate lands are more accessible , to markets. for the convulsion may and treatment wsti- tumors seould be detected e?rly. tuted. IX there is any enlargement l icopynshu i&4. Kin reature) Of the 10,214,000 acres of pri-j vate lands some 6,300,000 are; heldvby nearly 345,000. owners, f in tracts of 5,000 acres or less.. The tree farms of which we -hear a great deal, cover only; about 3,000,000 acres. Real problems in Oregon; forests therefore arise over the management of the 6,300,000 acres in small and scattered; tracts. i What we shall probably see; is a continuation of the consoli-f dation of ownership which has taken place ever since forest lands were available for acqui- sition. In the late 19th Century and early part of the 20th tinv bermen from the upper Mid west moved into the Northwest to acquire stands of timber, ei4 ther from the grant lands or from individuals ho had taken t up timber claims. . , In recent years this pattern has continued except that more and more of the timberland has been acquired by big corpora tions, whose stocks are sold on exchanges or are 1 available from brokers. There are fewer 'local ownerships. This has the disadvantage oi - making Oregon more of a "col ony,' with profits flowing out for distribution to owners wherever, they reside. It does offer certain advantages how ever: As a rule the big corpora tions plan to stay in business permanently. They demand bet ter forestry practices, press for fuller utilization of the raw material - and upgrade it for higher uses. Usually they are strongly financed and have good marketing organizations. While we may expect further acquisitions of timberland by the big corporations there re mains plenty of room for small er operators and investors, for there are the 6,300,000 acres in tracts of 5,000 acres or less. Ownership will trend to greater permanence than the life span of the individual because it takes decades to grow crops of trees. But local corporations can operate successfully with a mill and a bloc of timberland and the chance to bid on gov ernment timber. The ownership pattern has changed over the years, but the direction of the change is ap parent It offers some advant ages and some disadvantages for Oregon's economy, with the former probably in the lead. -By D.
