Bouquets for Baldock
R. H. Baldock hai received many honors
during hil 40 years: of service to the state
but praise from his own profession surely
must mean the most.
In his position as! state highway engineer
he is adviser and expediter for highway prob-
ACllld IVi Ul " y
the state board of control. Baldock has had .
more say about highway development in Ore
gon than any other; individual. He studies
a problem with great care, makes up his own
mind as to the best possible solution, and
then aticks to his decisions. But he is also
able and willing to discuss his ideas and
plans, whether he is talking to a reporter
or to a governor. 1
. In Salem, Baldock's name is a synonym
for one-way streets, for the one-way grid
system now in leffect is part of the ; once
controversial "Baldock plan." Once they had
a chance to get used to new traffic patterns,

was another vindication of the foresight of
a man who was convinced, i 'way back in
Model-T days, that the automobile was here
to stay.
Certainly he merits the Engineer-of-the-Year
Award which is to be presented to him
this week by the Professional Engineers of
Oregon. Both they apd Mr. Baldock are to
be congratulated, j t
They're Doing the Mambo? j
It is not too clear Just what Costa Rica
and. Nicaragua are I doing. Whatever it is,
Dick and Pat Nixon and Milt Eisenhower,
must feel like the fellow who sings, 'They
were doing the mambo while I just stood
around." !
The Nixons and the president's trouble
shooting brother were scheduled to make a
leisurely good-neighbor tour of Central Am
erica, including Costa Rica and Nicaragua,
next month. Right now, though, it sounds
as though the two neighbors down there are
squabbling in the back yard and probably
won't have time to welcome friendly visitors
at the front door, unless they happen to come
bringing arms aid. I 1
This illustrates One difficulty with trying
to maintain cordial relations with our revolt
prone Latin cousins; you can never be sure
from one day to the next who's going fo be
"at home" or whether they're bidding you
to "open house" or! "open fire." j
x The United Fund, highly successful in its
first year of operation in Salem, appears off
to a fine start again. With campaign chair
man Elmer Berglund as new president, the
good work begun by retiring president Otto
Wilson should be carried on most capably
and the city assured of the continued bene
fits it is deriving from its enthusiastic co
operation in, UTs initial year.
Peoples of Free Southwest Asia Have
Histpricql Reasons for Opposing China
By JOSEPH ALSOP
BANGKOK, Thailand Here
in Bangkok, it is easy to sum
marize the plot of the grand
future drama -
of South Asia. '
Will world
communism be '
able to cross
the Great Di
vide that sepa
rates the. Chi
nese Commu
nists and their
Viet Minh al
lies from the
rest of this
strategically
vital region? Or will the Com
munist advance be halted at this
natural border lice?
These are the questions that
have to be answered, in quite
large part by American policy.
The answers will determine the
future, not of Thailand only, but
of the whole trend of history
in our times. But before any
thing else, the nature of this
Great Divide in South Asia has
to be understood, i
In brief, the Vietnamese, who
Inhabit the coast of Indochina,
can properly be regarded as
southern Chinese; In language
and in race, they differ less
from the Cantonese across the
border than the Cantonese dif
fer from the people of Peking.
Their culture, from the most
ancient times, has always been
imported from China. And for
more than two miuenla "they
have usually been l either sub
jects or tributaries of Peking.
Thus the Viet Mlah conquest
f the Vietnamese states ef
Indochina, Tonkin, Anaam, and
Cochin China ia the South, may
be regarded as a flowing back
of Chinese power late regions
where Chinese power has al
ways predomlnsted,
i
Ths other nations of South
Asia the two other Indochinese
states, Laos and Cambodia, this
rich and smiling j country of
Thailand, Burma, Malaya and
Indonesia have an altogether
different character. Chinese lm
- perialism has often in the past
been felt by these peoples, as
it is being felt today. - But the
culture of all these nations Is
basically Indian, imported at
different times reaching back
into the remote put, beginning
perhaps with the missionaries
The Problems of Industry
The textile processing industries, once
thought of as a vital potential in the Willam
ette Valley, apparently have found the road
too rough to maintain footholds in this area.
Both Oregon Flax Textiles, which mush
roomed from a rented room to a half-million
, dollar plant in 10 years, and the Miles Mill
of the Linen Thread Company have an
nounced abandonment of their Salem opera
tions. Reasons in both instances have been
substantially the same the unvarnished
facts of industry-wide economics affecting
their particular line 1 of work. In neither,
instance was the general situation in this
Immediate area a major factor. - Therefore,
the closures are in ;no wise reflective of
Salem's own progress. .
The textile-industry has been sharply af
fected of recent years by synthetics and by
the postwar resurgence of foreign competi
tion. The business has required a closer
look at the cost . sheet, at available markets,
at expensive operations. Linen Thread's
comment that present circumstances are de
manding more research, more production and
quality control, more proximity to major
markets makes sense,! as unsavory as it is so
far as its affect locally is concerned.
Both Oregon Flax Textiles and Linen
' Thread still own their properties. The latter,
at least, intends
to be used as a
and is not discounting the possibility of re
suming major production operations at some
later date. ; We hope such is possible. In the
meantime, while we regret losing such firms
from the economic life of this i valley, we
find no discouragement in the general picture
of advancement of this area.
n N :
The Deny railroad crossing just east of
Rickreall is to get flashing signals in the hope
they will reduce the mortality rate. Such
action certainly is worth a try, and might
very well be helpful. Two deaths were
debited against the crossing last fall. There
is no means of knowing whether the tragedies
would have happened had there been danger
lights. But the wig-wag signals, once thought
an adequate warning; failed to prevent them.
Let's get the lights in as quickly as possible.
Rep. Henry Semon of Klamath Falls has
brought back to the legislature the leather
chair his co-workers gave him last session
because they did not think he would return.
If Henry runs true to form, though, he won't
be in it long enough 'at one time to get it
overheated. As a legislative, workhorse", he's
all over the statehouse. And we know of
no one who isn't glad he's back. ' '

Editorial Comment
ITS SERIOUS BUSINESS
A nation concerning itself more and more
with the urgency of having a strong and ready
military reserve can take heart in some recent
advice passed on by the chief of the Marine
Corps reserve program.
Maj. Gen? J. C. Burger had this to say about
the importance of summer field training, "We
must so conduct it, so train and indoctrinate the
individual reserve that we would be glad to man
an outpost .with him. In fact we may next meet
him under those circumstances."
The general's sense of seriousness is not mis
placed. Now is the time to train. In time of peace
prepare for war. Our very strength could well be
the best preventive to its ever being used.

spread the holy word of Gau
tama Buddha,
The peoples if all these na
tions also differ from the sub
jects of the Viet Minh in an
other important way. They not
only lack close racial links with
the Chinese. They also have
good reasons for being bitterly
anti-Chinese.
The history of the Thai people
begins 2,000 years ago, for in
stance, in central China. Thence
the expanding Chinese pushed
them first into South China.
And again, about a millenium
later they were driven out of
South China by another wave
of Chinese expansion into this
fertile valley of central Thai
land. - j;
The frontier that runs along
the .Chinese border, and down
the borders between the Viet
namese states and Laos and
Cambodia, is thus a major di
viding line in every possible
sense. -India's Prime Minister
Nehru recognised this, and also
emphasised India's cultural con
tribution, on his famous visit
to He Chi Minh.
Nehru told Ho Chi Minh, in
effect, that the Viet Minh vic
tory on the Chinese side of the
great South Asian divide was
natural and acceptable to India.
He added, however, that India
would take it very ill indeed .
if there was a further push into
the culturally Indian area into
Laos and Cambodia, for in
- stance, j. . '
He Chi Minn's degree of re
spect for Nehru's warning is
' indicated by the violent Viet
Minh posh that is now' going
a la Laos. All the sane, world
communism has now reached
the line where it is no longer
possible to exploit the famous
colonial israe for the Laotians
and Cambodians hate the Viet
namese much snore than ther
bate the French. And world
communism la this part of the
world is more generally regard
ed as a Chinese product, which
sets the ether peoples of Sooth
Asia naturally against It
Thus la theory it should not
be impossible to halt world com
munism's onward inarch at the
Great Divide of South: Asia.
Bat there are, unfortdnately.
to retain its present holdings,
west coast distribution point,
some three practical difficulties
of great magnitude.
' First. Thailand, Cambodia and
Laos, the three countries most
immediately threatened, are all
soft and easily penetrable or at
least easy to bully. Thailand,
for instance. Is an easy going
Asian nation, in which the old
forms - of Asian society have
utterly broken down. An ami
able, money loving junta now
rules Thailand as a sort of be
nevolent police state. But there
Is no unity between government
and people, little enough unity
within, the government and
people, little enough unity with
in the government itself, and .
no visible national power to
make a long, hard, grim effort
of resistance.
j - . ! :
Second, the keys to the Thai
position are the even weaker
nations, Laos and Cambodia,
Cambodia being absolutely vital
The! French naturally attached
Laos and Cambodia to the rest
of -Indochina, transport wise and
in every other way. ; Thus if
either Cambodia or Laos is to
be saved, a major, urgent and
coordinated effort is needed, to
render these two countries in
dependent of Saigon and Hanoi,
and to reorient their communi
cations, economies and every
thing else towards Thailand. No
such effort is being made.
Third, and most Important,
all three of these countries are
now liable to fall before mere
' military menaces, as . Jericho's
walls fell to Joshua's trumpet.
: The only safeguard against this
is to give these countries aa
: ironclad Western guarantee
i with sach strong teeth ia it that
I they will feel there is no danger
i of attack. And the Thais snd
i Cambodians are quite astute
! enough to see that SEATO as
at present constituted is the
i emptiest sort of fraud and fake.

: culties can only he surmounted

ADULT DELINQUENTS
vTo the Editor:
I often wonder about the
word "delinquency"! Whenever,
: it is mentioned it most always
refers to the younger set Is an
adult ever delinquent or is he
or she above that status?
I believe that if parents
would stop being delinquent
the child wouldn't have to go
through this stage which affects
their full lives.
The marriage .vows "to love
snd hold" include the children
in the marriage. So let us get
back to ground level; we don't
have to ask ourselves who is at
fault let's tell ourselves. This
kidding has to; stop soon for
everybody's own good.
Get back to the old fashioned
way of telling the children and
not have them tell you. Make
a home for the family, and to
start that someone has to be
home: that means you, Mother.
'And Dad, your job doesn't end
when you come home from
work; it is just beginning.
Most of us are adult delin
quents and until we change our
way we will continue to have
juvenile delinquency.

Valve
former resident for 21 years of

comment would be ia. order.
I, for one, feel not the slight
est loss at the demise of the
Los Angeles Daily News. It did
rot appeal to us, being pretty
much on thei radical side in its
editorial opinions; we steered
toward something more conser
vative. I !
Not being ajblind follower or
believer in the politics or ideas
of any newspaper, we have
found the field pretty adequate
ly covered by the Chandler pub
lications,; on the one hand, and
by the Hearst Papers on the
other. . . .
We find this area pretty well
divided into two "armed" camps
those who read the Times1 and
those who read the Examiner.
For my part, I prefer the 1 Ex
aminer, regardless of Hearst's
politics; our family has voted
the funnies best and no one can
deny that Hearst has amassed a
pretty fine group of feature
writers. Wei do not find "sex,
saaism, muraer and crime em
phasized in either paper, unless
that is what one is looking for.
The Times, hereabouts, is
acknowledged to be one of the
great newspapers of the coun
try, and again, its editorial opin
ions, its coverage of news,
should be taken with a grain of
salt, leaving one to form one's
own opinion, ., !
So. while 'we appreciate the
Coos Bay Times expression of
sympathy at the loss of the op
position paper, there must have
been a reason why myself and
others failed to read and patron
ize the Los Angeles Daily News
sufficiently to insure its contin

Tax Facts
4r ,
Tear Federal Income Tax
Editor's Note: This Is the
sixth in a series of articles oa
income tax changes. The ar-
tides are based oa informa
tion provided by the Ameri
can Institute of Accountants
aad . the Oregon Society of
Certified Public Accountants.
.
What difference does it make
whether you take a federal in
come tax deduction before or
after 'determining your adjusted
gross income? Plenty.
Certain deductions can be tak
en before you arrive at your ad
justed gross income, from which
you can still deduct 10 as a
standard deduction instead of
itemizing any other deductions.
. For example, a business man
can deduct his reasonable and
necessary expenses for travel
that keeps hint away from his
home city overnight before ar
riving at his adjusted gross in
come. So can an employee when
traveling for his employer. This
was true under the old law and i
remains in effect.
The employee was at a dis
advantage, however, when de
ducting other expenses in con
nection nth his work. These
could not be treated the same
way unless they were reim
bursed by his employer (in
which case, the reimbursement
would be counted as income).
Otherwise, be could only deduct
uch expenses among his item
ized deductions. If he used the
10 standard deduction he
would lose them entirely.
Transportation Expenses
. The new law allows the em:
ployee to deduct before determ
ining adjusted gross income all
his transportation expenses in
. connection with his employer's
business. These include fares,
automobile expenses, and (if in
connection with overnight trav
el) meals and lodging.
Employee's expenses1 other
than these can only be deducted
if the standard deduction or tax
table is not used. The expense
of commuting between home
and place of work is not deduct
ible at alL
'An "outside salesman" (one
who usually works away from
his employer's place of busi
ness) can deduct all his business
expenses before arriving at ad-1
Justed eross income, lust as if
he were in business for himself.
Automobile Deductions
To deduct automobile expens
es in connection with business
travel you should first add up
the total cost of maintaining
your car, including depreciation,
gasoline, oil, repairs, garage
rent, etc. Divide this total by
the number; of miles you drove
in 1054 to find the average cost
per mile, then multiply this by
the number of miles you drove
your car for business travel only.
This will give you the amount
you should deduct for business
use of your car.
Even if you don't use your car
for business, there are still
some deductions you can take if
you don't use the. standard de
duction or tax table. For ex
ample, state and local sales tax
es on purchases of car, auto reg
istration fee, state gasoline tax,
and losses from an accident not
due to your "willful negligence"
and not covered by insurance.
Home Owner Deductions
If you purchased a home dur
ing 1954 you probably agreed
with the previous owner on a
schedule of adjustments for tax
es, insurance, water rates, and
similar items. Under the old law
you were not allowed to deduct
' any of the property tax if it was
a lien on the seller at the time
of sale.'
The new law says: You and
the previous owner can deduct
this tax in proportion to .the
number of days of the property
tax year that each of you held
the property whether or noti
you agreed Jo apportion the tax.
You are considered to have paid
your share of the tax when you
bought the home. This applies to
any other real estate you may
have purchased.
