S. plane has been shot down by trigger-happy. Communist pilots. This time a B29 bomber: on photo mapping work about 'the Japanese island' of Hokkaido was knocked down with loss of .one life. Ou government has filed a string protest and demanded reparations. jThe USSR tries to say .that the U. Si; plane shot at Russian fighters which were trying to shoo the B2Sf away from Russian! territory.; The plane's pilot says he was never closer than 15 miles to. Russian' territory; and Geh. John E. Hull, the U. S. Far Eastern commander declares the plane was fired; on without warning and did not return the ; fire. v. -I 1 ; i c i . i . 1 1 !! ; j i it ou nere we are wiin anower jnciuenv , It will not lead to war-r-President Eisen hower in a talk Monday said that irk spite of this happening he felt relations with the Soviet Union were improving. But it is an other of those irritations which Ikeep the wounds raw. ; It adds fuel to the anti-Soviet fires which Red-haters keep burning. Sena; tor.

They are : not to let themselves be picked for targets : in MIG pilot shooting exercises. But this : authority for defense, or retaliation is at best an unsatisfactory solution to the probfem. i There are two questions involved: just where. ; does foreign territory begin and end; and what course of conduct should U. S. planes : follow to avert such incidents and s&ll per form their legitimate duties?, L The first question is not easily answered by the old Tule of the three-mile limit from shore, the distance of a camion shot a few centuries ago. During prohibition our gov ernment asserted its jurisdiction 12 miles off, shore; and last year our Congress laid claim to oil resources to the edge of the continental shelf. In this aviation age Jit is not easy ... ..... 4 .... a:H au.. ... . i location of a fast-flying plane. Also the three-mile limit is illusory as offering pro tection from aerial reconnaisance at altitudes up into the tens of thousands of feet In short, if our. planes, are going to cruise in close proximity to Commuhist-held lands they are going to be exposed to attacks, with the offending nation taking refuge ; behind the claim., of violation of territory or self defense. And no court has jurisdiction to settle the controversy. ' f J . f ; WViirh loads nn Jrt fl-iis tknf TT 5! ' nlanpt should avoid such exposure where possioie. Just why should a B29 be doing aerial map nine nvpr TTnlrkaiHn within a fmar rnilM of Russian-held islands? This is not to advo cate that we turn tail and forsake our post of duty; but first we should make sure just where and what our duty is. Instructing President Eisenhower reached into the fed eral judiciary to pick a successor to the late Supreme; Justice Robert H. Jackson. His choice fell to John Marshall Harlan who has served as judge on the second circuit court of appeals. Before that, "however, he was a member of one of the leading law firms in ifew York ,. City, : His legal training seems particularly good: a graduate of Princeton University With a degree in jurisprudence from Oxford!; and a law degree from New York University law school.. At, age 55 he has maturity and his normal life expectancy assures forjiim and the country a good many years of service on the highest court. The name Harlan is one already distin guished in the annals . ot! jurisprudence in this country?: The appointee's grandfather, tearing the jsame name, 'served from 1888 to 1911 in the same court to which his grand Son " is now named. The first Harlan was appointed from Iowa,j and those who, like the writer, grew up in Iowa about the turn of the century recall that Harlan was a high-? ly respected 'name there as indeed it was over the country. Last spring ' an opinion 6f Justice Harlan was ref erred ;fo' iij com ments on the decision of the Supreme Court banning segregation' in public schools. When, some 50 years ago the high court had vali dated the doctrine of "separate but equal" facilities, j John Marshall Harlan entered a vigorous dissent, which after the lapse of ! ! 1 Jlp Cavil Defense Head Warns Of Red Power In 1933 Russia will have the abil ity to deliver H-bombs, according to planning, assumptions' of the1 Federal Civil Defense Administra tioit.

Attitudes and phil osophies are! not1 inherited, but one may assume that j the present John j M. Harlan will aspire to render service of ! the; same high level asj his grandsire. If; he does he will add lustre to the family name as he divides truth! from error in the cause of uawn Exterior Illumination One thing jour architects' should learn to .do and that lis to provide proper exterior illumination for public buildings. ! j Just now the air drills are digging a trench around the : courthouse block to provide leads for an ' improved streei lighting system (the State ! street side was cut open for a water trench last summer). But no consideration was -given in the planning of the courthouse for its floodlighting. Nor was this done fbr the state capitol group. The capitol dome itself is illuminated; but the whole capitol group offers interesting possibilities for night light-j ing which wjuld add greatly to its beauty. Likewise thej. courthouse might well be flooded with light, particularly on the High street side. All this would cost money to be sure; but it would be worth it for, the nour j ishment of the souls of those who pass by j these structures at night. Illumination is a science in itself. Archi 1 tects call onjengineers to lay out plans for the interior lighting r but they seem to forget : about providing for exterior illumination. : Perhaps it isj just as well to wait until the building is completed and the landscaping in ; before tackling this job; but. all too often j the job is nef er undertaken. We keep hop- ing the. state! will get around to completing exterior lighting for the capitol group, and ;. hope for .the . same . with the courthouse. . Even if the Rights were turned; on only on important occasions, the investment would be justified. feu our pilots toj shoot if shot at or seriously threatened will help them defend them- . selves; but a 'safer course is to keep them out of Soviet range, i ,i Communism Gets Recruits From Destitute ' Peoples of I the World Grasping at Straws By J. M. ROBERTS i f I Associated , Presi Newt Analyst People frequently react against nolitical leaders, svstems and. re gimes under which they are un happy by assuming that almost any change will be for the better. It is probably the chief trait on which the international Commu nist movement reties for recruits. National thinking on internation al affairs sometimes begins to fall into a similar pattern. The tend ency is to personify both goodwill and iilwill through the figures of national leaders, and to wish for their political . success or failure on that basis. . A . j l Sometimes this leads to more; or less intervention by one nation in the affairs of another ' r i At the moment.' there is consid erable resentment in : -the United States toward Jawaharlal Nehru, and through him toward India, for what is considered here to be a pro-Russian and particularly pro- Chinese neutrality in the cold war. The Indians have a different word for it nonalignmenL if i i But if you think the first steps Innbin? tnwarrl Nehru's retirement his relinquishment of the presi dency of the Congress Party opens the way to improvement in Indian policy, you are destined for disappointment. J ; : -'- Not that there won't be change, out mat k may oeu a more dis turbing situation than at present. . Nehru, after a fashion seldom attained by Western 1 leaders,, is Mr. India himself. Nehru's opinions and India's opinions are i j: - VT which follows the other. - He is the only: Prime Minister India has had, nd there is . no sign of a successor on the honzoa. When he eoes. a eood many of the ties which make us political m experienced country cohesive may go with him, producing political chaos. 5 ' ij 'r ' : That would be a situation much more to Communist , liking than even the present one. 1 The Congress Party accepted Nehru's retirement as its president only on a formal basis A younger 'man is to set that job. but party 'leaders presume Nenru will con tinue as the guiding light, merely being absolved from part of the work and from party squabbles. The party flatly refused to con sider at this time his exDressed wish to retire also from thejime ! i Walking; a tight -rope in such an international situation as faces Nehru bow is a feat which can be performed only by the- strongest and most skilled. On the one hand be; faces the chance of loss of vital ties with the West; and on the other is the strong new China. : : Nehru wants no trouble with the Communists while seeking to pro mote and preserve his hopes for leadership of Asia.' This makes India, a road-block in Communist plans. Pending development of a politi cal personality which . might re place Nehru's, India without him would be even more unhappy than she is. She would teeter precari ously in the world of today. The Marion County Circuit Judge situation is pretty complicated. District Judge Val Sloper was elected to .a circuit judge post last week but nobody is certajrj as. to just i when he should take over. The seat is oc cupied now by. Judge Wallace Carson who was not a candidate and who is ready to re enter private practice; The confusion seems to lie in Oregon's election laws. One says that a successful candidate to an office takes over on t!he first Monday in January. The other, dealing with circuit court vacancies, says when siich a vacancy occurs the gover nor is to appoint a temporary judge and that the appointee shall serve until a "suc cessor is elected and qualified. k What does "qualified" mean? When. the candidate is certified by the Secretary of State's office, oft when the first ;. Monday in January rolls around? Judge Carson, having not ; been appointed by the supreme court is not, strictly speaking, ; a "pro tern" appointment ' Judge Sloper is not champing at ; the bit to take ever his new duties, nor is Judge Carson : desperately "anxious to leave immediately. Circuit Judge ; George Duncan says there is enough legal work around to 1 keep all three judges busy until January. ; But it is necessary to the future legality of cases to be handled that the judge- ' ship status Ke cleared np. A solution would be for either Judge Sloper or Judge Carson to be continued on as a pro tern appointee to help clear the docket ... .

And there's a good chance for complications. So how about sending out a re porter and a photographer?" .... "! ! i 1 ' j- George B. Guthrie, formerly of Salem (he built the Elsi nore theatre), now of Portland, donated an expensive oil painting "Adoration of the Shepherds" to Salem Public Library. Librarian Hugh Morrow says Guthrie purchased the painting in 1921 from Lipman's art gallery. It came from Italy and is not signed but is thought to be the work of an earjy 19th century Flemish or Dutch artist. Or something like that Anyway, its a breath-taker and itH hang in the library for all to admire. The painting hung in the Guthrie home for years. . . j Speaking of art . . . Sculptor Fredric Littman says he was putting the finishing touches to the war j memorial carving on the Marion County courthouse when 'a little old lady paused on her way into, the building. She stared up at the! figure fori awhile, shook her head and , mumbled, "Now I have to go in and pay taxes for this!" ...j . Littman says the relief, which he labels "a figure of survival,"- is practically completed, "IH sleep on it this winter," he skid, "and maybe come back next summer to add touches if necessary." . . . jThe inspirational piece with a written message will be unveiled Thursday arid should make vet erans, (and the rest of the public taxpayers and sail) happy.

V. Gaara Yoar Eyesight ' A practical demonstration Is usually the best method of ex plaining anything. I'm going to give you a practical demonstra tion in this column on how to help aid your eyes and maybe prevent unnecessary eyestrain and even headaches. Our eyes are one of our most prized possessions. They are also one of the most delicate mechan isms we have. You can preserve your eyesight Here's how: . First, of course, watch for the initial ; symptoms that indicate failing eyesight If you have diffi culty reading at a distance, or reading fine print, have your eyes examined. J ,. . If you already wear glasses, it's a pretty good idea to hate your eyes checked at least every year or two sooner if necessary. That goes also for those of you who might not wear glasses, but are advancing ia age. i - Now for those demonstrations. - .J.- t - Gi Lixht Essential It's always important, you know, to read , in the,- proper light not too dim, not too bright It's also important that you stop reading every so often and relax. Try it now. Close your eyes and just relax for a moment or two. Do that several times, while you are reading this paper and you'll help ease the strain on your eyes. Develop the habit whenever you read. . There's another habit those of you who wear glasses could de velop, too. Take them off for a moment, look at the lenses and , then replace them.! . I think most of you will find the lenses were smeared or filled with dust Clean your glasses before you turn the page and from now on dean them frequently during the day Blurred vision can bring on eyestrain or headaches. Question and Answer S. B.: I think I may have mul tiple sclerosis. What are the symp-4 toms? ' , ; Answer: The most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis are blurring of the eyesight, weak ness or tingling in the arms or. legs, and clumsiness and awk wardness in the use of on hand. '. At times, the condition may start suddenly with paralysis or severe weakness of the arms and legs, with numbness and tingling. Various drugs have been em ployed in the treatment of this condition, such as Neostigmine and Mephenesin to relieve or les sen, the muscle spasm. Heparin. has also been used, and appears valuable in preventing any recur rences. - - . You should have ' a complete study made of your condition by your physician to determine whe ther or not you actually are suf fering from multifile sclerosis. K so, your doctor will prescribe the proper treatment in your ease.

JtP UF Ready for Year-Around Organization Salem United Fund is ready to launch the year-around promo tional program it has promised, the board of directors made plain at a ' meeting Tuesday afternoon. President Otto Wilson reported that the successful fund raising on behalf of 31 youth and welfare agencies would be followed through by regular contact with the employer-employe chapters In 185 business firms. In ,tne same program wil come a United Fund officials meeting today with representatives of the Salem-centered agencies which re ceive about 80 per cent - of , he , nearly $200,000 raised by UF. 1 "Because Salem is . one of the few cities which will meet ia full the budgets drawn up by such j agencies," said Wilson, "ours are in a unique position. , They 'will have the funds to earrv out theic programs' and now they 'must! prove to their community they are worthy of this magnificent finan cial support One problem being tackled, at the suggestion of Police "Chief Clyde A. Warren, is how to Ar range for referral of persons in distress to UF-supported agencies during night and weekend hours; when their offices are closed. A UF committee probably will be named to study possibilities of "ro tating such off-hour responsibil ities among agencies. Board members said they would urge the UF chapters to reorgan ize for the coming year - and all have representation at the an nual United Fund meeting Dec. 3. Monthly letters and circulars to the chapters also are planned.

However, in all cases where use of waters for irrigation was involved the courts have stood by the strict text of the reclama tion act and upheld state juris diction. . .. v ' Every time one "of these wa ter cases gets before the court, those concerned with protecting states' rights over waters are worried. They fear that by de .grees court decisions will shift control to federal agencies. That would put in jeopardy the whole structure of vested rights in wa ter now held under state law. In the Pelton dam case the Supreme court, it it upholds the FPC, will not need to demolish the whole edifice of state water laws. It may merely rule that in this particular case the state has acted arbitrarily, or that the grant of power to the FPC is determining as, far as I power uses of waters go. All the same, water rights lawyers and other informed persons, particularly in the; West will follow with deep interest theicourse of the Pelton dam ease in the Supreme Court to see what happens to historic states rights. 1 Better English '- - - , By D.
