A Victory of Reason v By a timely Statement to the ; House of Commons that Britain is not now; going to press for admission to United Nations of Bed China, the' shrewd old statesman Wins ton Churchill, has eased the extremely un comfortable position of the United ' States , and given notice that the Anglo-American: alliance still has resilience and life. . It is not likely, as some partisans have crowed, that Churchill was bullied into that , , move by the temper tantrums of Senator Knowland, e aL Churchill's reaffirmation, . of the view, held in common with President Eisenhower, that Red China's behavior is inconsistent with the principles of the UN. Charter and therefore. Red China does not qualify for membership, is no victory 'for the congressmen who threatened to pull the U. out of-Vie U.N. It is a victory for , Churchill's statesmanship his willingness to adjust and compromise in order to gain the f' greater end. And it is a victory, too, of . reason. ; - v I !r: ' What seems to have happened is .'.this: Churchill and Eden, both of whom feel that Red China eventually will be admitted to U.N. with the possible result Ithat the Mos-cow-Peiping axis will be weakened, asked Eisenhower and Dulles whether the U. S. - would be willing to accede to the admission as the price of a favorable settlement in Indochina and perhaps Korea. The U. S. f answer was "not nows" And Churchill, be ing a realist, said, "All right, not now."

The Language Schools , , The come-back of language schools in the heterogeneous Hawaiian . Islands is' an in teresting commentary on the healing of the wounds of war. Just as German, in the closing days of and after World War I, was in disrepute in Amer ican Universities, so were the schools teach ing the Oriental languages in Hawaii during and after World War. II. But times have changed. The Hawaiian language schools were or dered closed by the military the day ' after Pearl Harbor, and to make certain they didn't re-open the territorial legislature in 1943 passed the so-called Akana Bill bar ring students ' in the first four elementary grades from attending them. - . The Chinese community, in Hawaii chal lenged constitutionality of the law, however, and in 1947 it was set aside. Today,, the is , lands have 80 language schools, 74 of them Japanese, five Chinese and one Korean. In the Japanese schools are nearly 14,000 students, studying reading, writing, conver sation and shushin (character and moral training). They do no replace public schools students attend them only an hour or so a day. Yukio Oyama, principal of the large Fort Gakuen School' in Honolulu, is quoted in the Pacific-American News as saying they steer clear of the nationalistic tendencies of pre-war days. Seven of Oyama's nine teach ers are American citizens. Announcements, verbal' and written, are given both in Eng lish and Japanese, since most Japanese 'par ents are unable to read the language of their nativity.. All textbooks and study material . are checked for American ideals by the ter ritorial Department of Public Instruction. Surveys shows that both the Issei (the older, non-citizen Japanese) and the younger Americanized Nisei favor continuance of the language schools, for reasons all the way from enabling students to talk with their grandparents to just plain keeping them off the streets. Whatever the reasons for the de mand, little or no objections to the schools are jaised. After all, American citizens who could translate the Japanese language were at a premium in World War II and a good linguist is in demand most anytime. s i I S.

So much so that a running feud between Klamath County Dis trict Attorney Donald Alderson and Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg all but halted criminal prosecution in" Klamath County and created a sleep-grabbing dilemma for the state supreme court. The young district attorney, severely criti cized by the veteran judge for his prepara tion of criminal cases, made a series of ap peals to, the state supreme court for a new, judge, claiming his cases were not being judicially handled, The high courj, neutrally situated, was of the opinion that all was not black or white on either side and hoped, the pair would have a meeting of legal minds. But they didn't and the docket stack ed up. . So began, a Klamath County migration of emissaries. Circuit Judge Ralph M. Holman of, Oregon City, dispatched by the Supreme Court to hear the criminal cases, quickly ran into obstructionist tactics by the de fendants and defense attorneys. A judge from adjoining Lake County was shifted to hear one of the more troublesome cases and Judge Vandenberg was shifted to hear a case in another court. Chief Justice La tour- , ette sent his administrative assistant Jonel . Hill to Klamath Falls to make an investi gation of the situation. , The judgment in the case has not been avoided, just delayed. Most agree that a meeting of the legal minds is needed, pre ferably by bringing the heads of the prin cipals' involved together sharply and audibly..- Dt7$TrTmS1JQ)QIIg (Continued from page 1.) Time Flies ISOM STATESMAN FILES 31 France's Premier Likely to tVliss Deadline For 'Honorable' Cedse-Fire in Indochina INTERPRETING THE NEWS By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP ForelfB News Analyst - There is a good chance the Pre mier of France will miss his dead line for bringing about an "honor able" cease-fire in Indochina. .It depends mostly on the Com munist side in the Geneva confer ence and what Red intentions are toward Pierre , Mendes - France, who pledged himself to step down from the premiership next Tues day if he had not achieved some sort ' of truce. - The question before the Comirju nist side is this: If they insist -on driving a hard bargain in Indo china, will that increase the possi bility of war on a large scale? The United States.' in poshing Its 'united action" program, has made it plain that Americans win net intervene alone ' in Indochina. America's principal ally, Britain, Is at the very least reluctant Thus It has been made ; plain to the Communists that thef is - not likely-to be any enlargement of the war at Bus time, i -. . As a result of' the Paris confer ence of if endes-France, Foreign Secretary Eden and Secretary of State Dulles, the Communists may choose to ; prolong the Geneva talks. Attacks by Moscow radio and Pravda on the Pariioneeting hint: at that. Moscow accused Dulles of at tempting to prevent a settlement when one was near. If such settle ment was indeed near, it must have been quite advantageous to the Red side. It is more than likely tnat , tee Communists, unaccus tomed to 'throwing away advan tages, would Doia up tor such a result. Secretaty Dulles says a formula for Western unity was achieved at Paris without abandonment of United States principles. What were those principles? For one thing, both President Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles have de "dared that the United States would . sot sanction Red conquest of any area.' For another, the United Statu . cot long . ago held that Indochina Is a "cork in the bottle" preventing spread of the Red menace all over Southeast Asia. - - "-. ' ' Now, however, the United States has returned to the Geneva con- erence on a high leveL It seems plain that, if any settlement is to be achieved, in Indochina, it will be at the expense of recognizing Red conquest of at least the north ern part of Vietnam. As recently as March 29, Secre tary Dulles warned that if the Communist took over control of any substantial-part of Indochina, "they would surely resume the same pattern of aggression against other free peoples in the area" and menace ultimately the whole island chain of free world defenses. Now the prospect is that either the Communists take over a sub stantial part of Indochina or there will be no. end to the war there. Secretary Dulles denies any "primary restwasibilitv" of the United States in the Indochina War. but the fact that he nersnnal. hr stays away from Geneva does noi relieve ue united states or tdviner tacit sanction in th wnt a settlement is reached. And the only settlement in prospect seems one looKing lowara partition ot Viet Nam. Might it be that Secretary Dulles at this ton emnfoajtizM th laotr f primary American responsibility in uwocmna as a preiuae to a set tlement there which will go against enunciated American principles? Apparently the United States has some harsh facts to face. ' termination. Indians are eligible . to enroll in the territorial schools , and this system is carrying by far the bigger share of the load. Incorporated cities - administer their own schools but elsewhere over the territory the schools are , administered directly by the ter ritorial department which em ploys the teachers, selects text books and outlines the course of . study.

For those , with master's degree the range is as high as $6200 a year. Higher living costs, however, make the salary schedule hardly compara ble to those in the states.

NEW ANTIBIOTIC FIGHTS INFECTION IN CHILDREN The newest member of the ever growing family of antibiotics is called tetracycline. Bright yellow in color, it has a broad anti-germ activity. It is almost identical with terramycin and aureomycin but has a lower order of toxicity in action. It also maintains a high level - of con centration within the body, once it attacks, and it is better toler ated by humans. Tetracycline is particularly suitable in treating children's in fections. It was recently used on 25 in fants and children with a variety of infections due to germs. They were suffering from pneumonia, upper respiratory disease, infec tious stomach upsets; diarrhea snd even gangrenous appendici tis. In these cases, other anti biotics had been given with little response. The majority of the children recovered rapidly with the use of this newer antibiotic. The drug is given by mouth in the form of a mixture. A high blood Jevel and concentration- of this drug can be attained because of its low toxicity and its lack of disagreeable side effects. - This feature will prevent many bac teria from developing an immu nity to the drug before it has a -chance to work. It should be remembered, how ever, that tetracycline, as well as , all other antibiotics, should only be taken under the supervision of a physician who will best know when it should be used.
