" i 'Creeping Knowlandism' Some stir has risen in college circles be - cause of pressures against use of the debating ,? question, Resolved, That the United States t should recognize Red China. It seems some congressman wrote a debater at Duke Uni- vensity warning him against debating the affirmative side of this proposition. At an i other college the debate coach wouldn't let his team, argue the affirmative: What they ; are afraid of is that some time in the future this might be held against the debaters, say I when they applied for a government job. j Just how, silly can we get? Since when have college students been denied the privi lege of debating any "hot" subject? And wriy 'not the Red China question? It bobs up all 'the time, -and will indefinitely until we do' recognize the government which rules some ; half billion human beings. This shivering L is just a sample of ''creeping' Knowlandism." s. ,The question is one which ought to be de bated, honestly and boldly at' various levels, including the highest councils of government. The real question though is not whether to -recognize Red China, but when and how and under what circumstances and conditions. Mercy Air Service " , Medford has something to boast of in its Mercy flights, inc. This organization, in ex- ' istence for f ve years, recently carried pa tient No 300 toa hospital. The corporation is' non-profit, arid its service has been main tained as a result af voluntary - effort and sacrifice. It has had four airplanes in all, two now operable. The planes are fitted for ambulance service for its errands of mercy are to pick up ill or injured in remote places and convey them promptly to where they may get skilled treatment. . According to the Mail-Tribune this is the only air ambulance service of a number in. the country, which is not in business to make money. Says the M-T it "exists only to serve the sick arid injured" and is operated "by a few dedicated souls whose only reward is the feeling of satisfaction they get by knowing, they are performing a vital and important service to fellow human beings." The enterprise is well entitled to the name of "Mercy Flights. Back in the late 1940s our experts- were dating 1954 as the critical year when a Rus sian assault might be expected. Now, accord ing to Peter Edson, Washington columnist, 1957 is the year "in which dice may be thrown for world peace or war." Wars though do not follow timetables though they do have a way of recurring in about 20-year intervals. Loaded Guns in Cars - The State Game Commission' is said to be pressing for legislation to enable it to crack down on 'persons who carry loaded guns in their cars. The reported intent is to reduce the number of fatal accidents from discharge df weapons in cars or when persons are tak - ing them out of cars. If that is the purpose the Game Commission is getting out of its fc territory. It isn't a Safety Commission. We can see where it may have another purpose, however, to discourage shooting of game from automobiles. This is prohibited now, but sometimes the law is violated. !r Guns are deadly weapons and you can't ""legislate all the danger out of them. Every 1 youngster should be taught how to use and j "how to use a firearm, especially the lat "ter. More fatalities occur from "I didn't know Zit was loaded" type of gunplay than from discharge of guns in automobiles. 1 " Senator Clinton Anderson of New Mexico ti.. 4 - -i ik.i i :.!-: . y s uiav mere is jiu (nance uiai icgisiawuii "to restore rigid price supports on farm crops will pass the Senate next year.

That was a good club through the cam-t ; paign, though! : ' Over at Ukiah, Umatilla County, two men matched quarters to see which would put a " quarter in a juke box. The winner put the quarter in his pocket instead. Then the fight started which put one man in the hospital 1 and the other in jail and both on the front page of the Pendleton East Oregonian. News is getting back to normalcy. . A news picture shows Premier Mendes J France holding a glass of milk in his hand. A welcome diversion from the too-familiar cocktail glass. Perhaps the Dairy Council can get the French Premier to help it pro- mote the sale and consumption of fresh milk. Sen. Cordon has finally wired Neuberger, victor in the recent senatorial contest. Cordon said, "The people have spoken." He was just a little hard of heading,- it seems. Things' to be unthankful for: the continu ance of the McCarthy ruckus and the wordy outpourings of Senator Morse. A good many market experts think stock prices are doing the Indian rope act. Editorial Comment THE CRACKED GAVEL . We suppose that even something as hard and tough as ivory has a right to crack up when the strain gets too much. So it's just as well that a new gavel banged on the Vice President's desk last week as the old one was retired, full of honors and one hundred and sixty five years of . Senate debate. That first gavel started out in the hands of Vice President Adams who, in 1789, carried the Senate through those early debates on the Bill of Rights and the duties of the new Government, battles so fierce that old - John himself had to vote some twenty times to break deadlocks. It was handed down to Aaron Burr, Jeffers son's stormy Vice President, who, provoked by the acrimonious attacks against him, killed Alex ander Hamilton and then returned to preside over the bitter impeachment trial of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. That gavel was on the dais in 1856, when Sen ator Sumner of- Massachusetts unleashed his tirade against the character of Senator Butler of South Carolina and all of his associates in the "crime against Kansas." A few days later all its pounding was unable to keep order in the cham ber when Preston Brooks stalked onto the Senate floor and caned Sumner at his desk. It remained there while the debate raged over a move to ex pel Brooks from Congress and during the two years that the chair of the injured Sumner sat empty as a mute protest against this violation of a senator's right to have his say. Somehow it survived the bitter debates of the Civil War, the reconstruction, and the impeach ment proceedings against Andrew Johnson. It was still on hand when Senator Walsh was ex posing the motives behind Teapot Dome. It bore up well under Hell 'n Maria Dawes and the blows that Vice President Garner struck for freedom. It was only slightly worn by the fight over the. Supreme Court and the acrimony of the 80th Congress. f But the ' last session of the Senate was too . much. It cracked up.-And now the senators assembled in extraordinary session will have to be kept in order by a new gavel tipped with the ivory of India. .-. - Well, the fledgling is getting a good baptism. But it'll need a lot of stamina to go the next hundred and sixty-five years of Senate debate without cracking. (Wall Street Journal). 1 tmir i'w v Ws&V: I & M -ml JumJJ .

Attorneys will file briefs with the Federal Power Commission (FPC) and exchange written ar guments for and against the Idaho Power Co. plan to build three dams in the Hells Canyon area, where a federal project has been proposed. The arguments will be based on 19,213 pages of testimony and 390 exmous presentee during a year long hearing on Idaho Power's ap- nucations, which ended last July 9. Idaho Power's brief, supporting lis ciaim that its proposed 133-mjlion-dollar series of dams would be best for Hells Canyon, will be filed with the FPC Wednesday afternoon, a company spokesman said Tuesday. The brief ha been ready for weeks, while the filing deadline has been set back three times. Public Power Groups The brief of Idaho Power's main opponent, the National Hells Canyon Assn., will summarize the argument of public power groups that Hells Canyon s should be 're served for a 400-million dollar multipurpose federal dam which would produce more power than Idaho Power' three' projects. - Observers and participants alike will be watching- for the FPC staff brief, which for the first time will state the staffs position 1 in the controversy. Views of Idaho Power and in terveners opposing the three-dam plan were well aired during the hearing, but FPC staff attorney John C. Mason, has given no clue as to what he will recommend to the commission and to hearing ex aminer William J. Costello. FPC engineers testified at the hearing, but they made no recom mendation as to whether Idaho Power's proposed dams should be licensed. Testimony Attacked Attorneys for the Hells Canyon Asn. tried without success to get Mason to say whether be was for or against the applications,- and they attacked testimony of the FPC engineers. - , . vThe State of Washington, which intervened against the proposed federal dam, is expected to mail its brief to Washington. , The deadline for filing the main briefs originally was set for Sept 10. It was reset to Oct. 11 at the request of the Hells Canyon Assn., to Nov. 10 at Mason's request, and to Nov. 24 for the association. y, Idaho Power resisted each con tinuance. Additional briefs ere to be sub mitted by Jan. 10 and Jan. 31. Later Costello will write his de cision, which is expected to be appealed to the FPC. ; f Timber Slaying suspect Bound To Grand Jury HILLSBORO tin Jerry Eugene Dodele.

Ph. 4-1M1 We Give j&C Green Stamps Date for European Conference as Proposed By Premier Mendes-France Said too Soon ; .. .. -By J. M. ROBERTS.. . Associated Press News Analyst French Premier Meodes-Fraoce ;came to the. United States last week under a cloud. By the week- end he had began to shine as new -visiting diplomats have in recent 'years, and then Monday he went "t into another partial eclipse. , The first big thing he did was !to allay widespread fears about 'his sincerety in connection with ue rearmament oi west uermany under the Western European Union. The Russians are not going to stop it this time by offers of -empty negotiations, he said. To emphasize it he and Secre tary of State Dulles worked out postconference communique , J which, when the Russians' offered on Saturday to postpone their pro , posed conference if the West would postpone WEU, had their negative a answer "all ready. - Then on Monday Meodez-France 'made two statements before the United Nations which sounded all ; right but faded quickly under close i scrutiny. I He said France would be willing Jto take the! lead for a four-power - conference I on European settle 'ments in May, after WEU had -been finally ratified. ' And,-in poinling out that WEU 'takes an important step toward arms limitations by providing con 'trols for one large group of na tions, he said' France would not 'look askance if Russia wanted to do the same thing in her sphere ? provided the limitations principle was the same. ; After initial approval of a post- . ratification parley, officials began to realize that May would be too soon. It would put the Allies into : negotiations in a fashion which they had just said they would not permit before their new position of strength was truly established. Ratification of Western Euro pean Union is one thing. Until im plemented, it is a theoretical thing. The fact of German rearmament. which cannot even begin until after that, is another thing. It not paper agreements, will present the Russians with a situation the Allies have always hoped would bring them to realistic negotiations instead of meetings for propa ganda purposes. . 1 A conference in May would pre sent the Kremlin with the same thing it seeks today an opportuni ty to throw new monkey wrenches before rearmament is actually a fact The United Kates Is prepared af 4tft tsraftl?

Buidesen, Doat Gals Tew Meals 1 While your eating manners may be perfect, your eating habits are probably terrible. , I tell you this bluntly, as a physician who has seen the re sults of these eating habits, and as a man who has observed countless 1 friends and , acquaint ances across the dinner table. The average person is adjusted to. the fast pace of modern life. And he carries that speedy pace with him to dinner and lunch and probably breakfast too. b: ; F,ew persons chew , their food properly. They gulp, it you would only stop to think that you by pass natural digestive processes by gulping food, you might real ize what a tremendous task you assign your stomach. Digestion begin- in the mouth. You prevent much of this diges tive action when you take a gulp of coffee, tea. milk or other bev erage, to help a mouthful of food slide down your throat more easr ily before it is properly chewed. Thorough chewing is not only essential for good digestion; ft is also exercise for your gums. For' those of you who are watching your weight remem- . ber:' chew twice as long, and youH probably eat half as much. I think you will also enjoy the flavor of the foods more, because -you will really get a chance to' taste them. This gulping 'of food is merely a habit and one that should be broken. You should relax while eating.1 A good way of aiding relaxation, as. many restaurant owners have discovered, is to listen to soft, soothing music as you dine. : Most of you have radios or phonographs in you home. Try listening to some music at dinner tonight QUESTION AND ANSWER J.G.: Will you please tell me if gas can cause appendicitis? , Answer: No, this does not oc cur. - - , t 1 ' .
