More Fizz in Credit
Credit is the lifeblood ot business, and
the federal reserve bank is getting ready to
inject more fizz in the stream. Reserve re
quirements are to be reduced! by $1.5 billion
which by the one-to-six ratio will permit
credit expansion of $7.5 billion. The FRB
says it is acting"to make sure; there is ample
credit to meet summer and fall demands
for crop movement, store inventory accumu
lation. (Also the treasury Will be in the
market to borrow $10 billion in the last
half-year.)
If keeping the credit pump working will
fend off a business recession, at least until
after the election, then the country is sure
to remain prosperous. But this policy is far,
different from what the GOP; stood for back
in New Deal days when the national debt
was moving up to $5 billion; (how tiny that
seems compared with the present debt of
just under $275 billion).
The federal reserve board is a very able
body, but it can make wrong guesses too.
For our part we doubt very much if a fresh
shot of credit fizz is needed, or will be used.
This "second most prosperous year in his
tory" isn't one to encourage heavy borrow
ing among the rank and file iof businessmen
and farmers.
Hawaii Champion Dies!
Joe Farrington did not live to see his
fondest hopes realized statehood for Hawii.
But the island people will ot soon forget
that it was Farrington who played a major
role in the project which now seems an at
tainable goal.
The white-haired congressional delegate
from Hawaii was found deid of coronary
occlusion in his Washington office Saturday.
For more than a decade he had been away
much of the time from his principal business
as president and publisher of the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin. But with his right bower Riley
Allen running the newspaper through the
critical war years and afterward, he never
ceased to exert a marked influence on island
development and thinking. His newspaper
grew and prospered, and still does under
able William Ewing wWb took over when
Allen went into well-earned Retirement.
Farrington's impact on the ijslands extended
deeply into racial relations, integrated eco
nomy and diversification. ris ability was
considerable in picking the right men for the
jobs he wanted carried out, even more than
in his own execution of various projects.
Molding the polyglot population of the
islands into true Americana; was no mean
objective in years gone by, and Farrington
played a big part in it in the 35 years since he
went to the mid-Pacific.
Sen. Karl Mundt who was chairman of
the Senate committee during its late hear
ings, says it would take 20 years to get the
'last kernel of truth." We'll skip the final
kernels but are waiting anxiously for the
committee's report on the big lumps of truth
untruth which it found.
Critics of U. N.
Evidence of
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
Associated Press News Analyst ;
Critics of the United Nations are
citing the Security Council's fail
ure to take any positive steps about
Guatemala as additional evidence
that something needs to bedone
to make the organization more ef
fective. Its strongest supporters would
like to see that happen, too, but
are not inclined to throw up their
hands in futility because such
strengthening is not in sight
The extraordinary Sunday ses
sion at which the Council was able
merely to express a desire for a
cease fire in Latin-America came
just slightly more than four years
after that other Sunday session in
which the organization was able
to make the most momentous de
cision of its brief life. That was to
Intervene in Korea.
The different circumstances of
the two meetings point up perfect
ly the trouble with the United Na
tions. It is not united. Action at
the 1950 meeting was possible
only because Russia was boycot
ting the Council for the moment
Action last Sunday was impossible
because Russia was right there
with her veto.
It should be remembered, how
ever, that there wasn't much the
Council could do about Guatemala
anyway.
What is going on in Guatemala
Is, in the first 'place, unclear. The
council was faced with charges by
Guatemala against two neighbor
ing states, Nicaragua and Hondur
as, accused of fomenting the re
bellion. But it was an appeal in
which the remedy sought was not
very clear, and in which the charg
es themselves were vague.
'Russia took the opportunity to ac
cuse the United States of being be
hind the whole thing.
That was the tip-off why the
Council could not decide between
the Central American states, nor
even develop a line of inquiry
which might make possible a de
cision between them. The United
States wanted the whole matter
turned ever to the organization of
Big Partner
Point to Guatemala as More
Organization's
American states, and Russia ve
toed that, since it would have shut
her voice in the matter.
The Guatemalan thing is being
fought out in the shadow of the
broader conflict between Russia
and the Free World. There is a dif
ference between a rebellion insti
gated by the United States and a
rebellion which nevertheless has
become the vehicle of her hopes
that this outpost will soon be elim
inated. Were it not for the delicate is
sues of imperialism, the fear of
Your Health
The wear and tear on the hu
man body often makes itself first
known in the bones and joints in
a form of arthritis. Repeated
injury to the bones and joints
either from one's occupation or
one's habits may increase the
arthritic symptoms.
This arthritis is not the inflam
matory type that is so common,
but rather is known as osteo
arthritis. One of the most common sites
of occurrence is in the neck. Its
chief symptoms are pain in the
back of the head, neck, and down
the arms. The pain is usually
most severe in the shoulders.
Movement of the neck is limited
and the muscles around it are
hard and tender.
Many times intervertebral
disks, cartilage between the
bones of the spine, or "shock ab
sorbers" of the spine, as they are
known medically, are also weak
ened. This weakening can cause
severe pressure on the nerves,
and a shooting type of neuritis
pain. A diagnosis of osteoarthri
tis is usually easily made with
X-rays.
Most cases of arthritis of the
neck can be treated without sur
gery. Sometimes the neck mus
cles are stretched by means of a
Falters
When the Senate-House conference com
mittee cut out the $500,000 item for plan
ning on the John Day Dam it made the gov
ernment drop its end of the double-tree on
the "partnership program." This was one of
the best deals proposed from the govern
ment standpoint. It would get $164 million
advance payment on energy from the in
stallation, and when that was exhausted
could go on charging and collecting for en
ergy to pay for the remaining power and
all non-reimbursable costs of the project.
This really was a partnership plan; but Con
gress isn't going to appropriate money for
the planning at this session. This puts the
project back at least another year.
The committee compromised, on the uphill
side, between the lower House and Higher
Senate appropriations for The Dalles and
Chief Joseph dams, but the sums allowed
are large and will permit vigorous prosecu
tion of the work.
Too bad the government reneged tem
porarily at least on its end of the power
partnership in the case of the John Day
Dam.
At Berkeley a trial is in progress in which
some 31,000 Indians, genuine "native sons"
of California seek compensation for lands
they claim the white men stole from their
ancestors. They ask recompense in the
amount of $90 million, at the raf of $1.25
per acre for 75 million acres. The case is
being heard by commissioners of the Court
of Claims, and the Indians are using as wit
nesses a number of scholars in history and
anthropology. Indian tribes have won some
heavy claims for compensation because of
past land appropriation, but this one is the
biggest to get into trial court. Lands that
might have been bought with some blankets
and beads a century and a half ago, now get
the effect of price inflation. At that Cali
fornia land at $1.25 an acre still is cheap.
The science expert of the New York Times
figures it took the labor of 100,000 men three
months a year for 20 years to build the Great
Pyramid. In New York Monday forty men
sheathed the steel frame of a 22-story office
building in 14 hours. Aluminum panels were
used as on the Equitable building in Port
land. The Pyramid job took 180 million man
days of labor. This sheathing job took only
560 man-hours, though of course other work
on the structure requires far more time. We
can say this for the ancient engineers and
workmen: their job has lasted well.
Editorial Comment
CONSTITUTION CHANGE MERITED
The Senate recently passed by a 70-1 majority,
a concurrent resolution to amend the Constitu
tion. Its purpose is to provide for replacing the
membership of the House should a great number
of its members be wiped out by "acts of violence
during any national emergency or national dis
aster." If such disaster should cause more than 145
vacancies in the House of Representatives, the
Speaker would be required to so certify to the
President The President would then issue a
proclamation after which the Governor of each
state would have the authority to fill the vacan
cies. Such a Constitutional provision is already in
effect for the Senate. Probably because Con
gressmen are elected every two years instead of
every six, as in the Senate, there was never felt
to be a need for a method of quick replacement
of Representatives. In time of hydrogen bomb
attack, however, the Congress could easily find
itself without the membership it needed to make
laws.
There seems to be no valid reasons for ob
jection to the proposed Amendment It deserves
passage in the House and by the States when
that has been accomplished. Coos Bay Times.
Ineffectiveness
which is constantly stirring in
Latin America, the United States
would undoubtedly intervene to see
that the rebels win. With things
as they are, she can hardly do
that.
But it is this international signi
ficance of the affair which hand
cuffs the U.N. It's all right to talk
in theory about great and small
nations having equal voice in such
an international body. But when it
comes to fundamental clashes be
tween the great powers, the small
ones can only talk, and not too
loudly at that.

traction device. The patient may
have to wear a special collar or
head halter to hold the neck
muscles up straight to help al
leviate the pain. This releases
the spasticity of the muscles.
Sometimes the muscles must be
injected with a local anesthetic
solution in order to further re
lieve the spasticity.
Massage and deep heat in the
form of diathermy or short wave
thearapy are also a great help.
The physician, after, careful
study of each ease, will decide on
the best method of treatment
and his advice should be follow

Question and Answer
J. J.: I had a coronary attack
from which I recovered about a
year ago. However, since the
time of the attack, even on rest,
I get severe pail shooting down
my arms. What would you ad
vise? Answer: Of course, you should
be under the . care of your physi
cian. This disorder is probably
due to a lack of adequate circula
tion to your heart following the
heart attack. Various, drugs to
increase circulation are now
available but should be taken
only under your doctor's guid
ance. (Copyright. 1964. Xln features)

'If these Seioce hearings en so educational, then why hasn't the
irrrtstigmrhq committee teamed anything? . . .
The Safety
To The Editor:
While agreeing 100 per cent
with 98 per cent of your cour
ageous, impartial and masterly
summation on the Army-McCarthy
hearings, I wish if I may
to note one exception to your
findings and to make a sug
gestion of my own.
First, while not forgetting his
complete lack of experience in
what McCarthy quite rightly
called rough politics in Washing
ton, I can not agree that Stevens
(who showed up very poorly un
der cross-examination) has been
chastised enough already for the
sorry part he played in the
whole disgraceful imbroglio.
(Chastised by whom? might one
ask.) True, the worm did turn
finally; but not before irrepara
ble damage had been done to
army morale by what McCarthy
called Steven's belly-crawling.
Today I note from Quantico,
Virginia 'an AP dispatch):
Stevens, "smiling and jovial" ex
pects to remain in office just so
long as he is of service to the
country. And he clearly implied,
we are told, that the integrity of
the army had been sustained!
If Stevens really thinks this he
has obviously learned very little
in the last painful weeks: painful
anyway to most of the rest of
us. What about the treatment of
General Zwicker for example,
and General Lawton, who would
apparently have been "busted"
if the Senator had not forbidden
it when his kind permission was
asked! What about two other
brass hats whose names escape
me: the one whom Private
Schine denounced and McCar
thy's staff investigated apparent
ly for allegedly using the word
witch-hunt: and the one who
held Schine's coat so Schine
could appear to best advantage
in the doctored photograph.
Now it is obviously true, as

that the old depression-born
parity support system is self
defeating. The offer of an as
sured price tempts the growers
to produce for government ware
houses and not for consumers.
Then when 'the cut backs come
they are indeed painful.
Consider the position the
Eastern Oregon wheat grower
finds himself in now. Say he has
two sections, or some 1200 acres
of tillable land. Ordinarily half
his land lies fallow so he gets
a crop one year out of two. Of
the 600 acres he has fallow this
year he can plant to wheat only
70 per cent, or 420 acres, in
1955. He probably can't put the
remaining 180 acres in another
grain crop, and the supply of
moisture is too small for other
crops save some grasses. But
he has the equipment for full
production; he has to cultivate
the fallow land to keep down
weeds; and he has to pay taxes
on all his land. Even if he gets
$2 a bushel for his wheat he may
find himself in a tight squeeze
when he has his allowable acre
age cut by 30 per cent. Natural
ly he is tempted to use his best
land, and to fertilize that to get
a maximum yield which of
course runs counter to the gov
ernment effort to scale down
production.
Removing all price ; support
and its attendant acreage limit
ation might be drastic, but it
would work a cure of ; bringing
production and consumption in
to balance by the stern discip
line of forcing marginal lands
out of cultivation, or diverting
acreage to other crops or to pas
ture. Surely the least congress
should do to get in tune with
economic reality is to make the
shift that Secretary Benson
recommends. For all the prom
ise of income parity which the
present rigid ratio makes, that
promise proves false when an
acreage cut of 30 per cent is
forced. .

you state, that persistent efforts
were made, and not successfully
explained away, to secure pref
erential treatment for this privi
leged private. Why then was he
not put on the stand? And why
no objection to this from Mr.

when he feared that Francis

from cross-examination?
Then, what about Struve Hen

What about the infallible F.B.I,
and the Department of Justice?
And what, finally, about Vice
President Nixon?
True, the President's indus
trious apprentice has kept pretty
quiet since this Washington war
got going. But it was he 'as
you pointed out at the time) who
apparently organized Steven's
abject surrender at the chicken
dinner, where the fracas really
began. Why no comment from
or about "my boy," whom I
bring in here only because he
was I believe the chief promoter
behind the scenes of the admin
istration's policy of appeasing
McCarthy at almost any cost?
I'm only asking, mind. The
answers I do not claim to know.
Hence my suggestion, which is
respectfully submitted in the
hope of its winning your ap
proval. The suggestion is that an im
mediate, complete, final and un
equivocal repudiation of McCar
thyism in all its forms should
be added to your list of "what to
do nows." For the sake of com
mon decency let us have No
Compromise any more with this
demoralizing evil. This, I sub
mit, is the acid test An un
qualified condemnation of Mc
Carthy by all his fellow travel
