They saw it in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a glow on the south west horizon. They saw it in 11 states, and in Mexico. And some as distant as Salt Lake City felt the tremor as the earth shiv ered under the force of the explosion. Those early risers who sought the high points and looked toward Nevada had a preview of the era of the H-bomb. x Just a flash in the sky but not "in the pan." For the grim reality of it could not help but impress those who saw it, those who felt the quiver, and even those who have read about it. (Or have we become so overwhelmed with he magnitude of atomic power that it makes no imprint on our con sciousness . . . or conscience?) -,. There it is folks, the man-made meteor whose blast obliterates, and whose radiation spreads lethal blight. This is the potential Frankenstein which may destroy its human creators. Man's ingenuity fashioned the monster; only man's intelligence can keep in bond this Force incarnate. v Wanted: A Midget This sterilized ;( and sterile) investigation of Wall Street now in process under the direction Of Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas is off to .a slow start. It seems purposely designed as low-gear operation. It4ias none of the dramatics of the McCarthy Army show of a year ago, none of the tension of the MacArthur recall hearings in 1951. Unlike the Keauver hearings on crime which produced thafamous TV star Frank Costello, the man with the expressive hands, this one would bore a TV audience to tears. And certainly it draws nothing from the example of famed finance investigations of years gone by.. There is no H. C. Hopson of Associated Gas fame dodging subpoena servers and swamping Western Union with planted telegrams to congressmen in the utilities inquisition pressed by Senator Hugo Black, i There are no big name financiers forced to bare their bank accounts and in come tax reports as in the early days of the New Deal. There is no J. P. Morgan on the stand; and ho midget to sit on his lap! What good can come of an investigation pitched irf such a low key? Will the public conclude that the stock exchange is now purified, its green and tempting pastures safe for even the stray lambs from the Zar coun7 try? That we cannot say; but we are sure the investigation as presently conducted will attract no attention "from the public and little from the stock brokers and traders in Wall z Street. Perhaps Walter Winchell, the radio tipster, will be called by the committee. He might serve as the midget. The Roof Leaked i . The State of Oregon is not immune from the ills that beset an ordinary, citizen. The house was built; came the rains, and the roof leaked. In this case it was the new state garage. Then came the investigation. The contractor "said he followed specifica tions. The architect said the manufacturer declared that the material specified was better than any other on the market. But the roof still leaked. j It cost $4,429.77 to re place it; and now it doesn't leak. The one that gets the bill, however, is the Legislature. Presumably, there was no manu facturer's guarantee so the state, like John Doe in similar situation, will have to pungle up to meet the extra" cost. If the Legislature really wants to study a botched job of state building it might take a look at the Dairy building over at OSC which was finished and accepted about two years ago. The responsibility there wasn't pinpointed either. ; The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has adopted a rule barring its employes from accepting any gifts or gratuities from liquor interests and limiting the quantity of "sam ples" liquor firms may distribute for free. The Senate passed a bill making it a criminal offense for the members of the commission or its employes to accept gifts. This grows out of the recent probe initiated-by Governor Patterson which exposed some bad practices. This rule was adopted and enforced back in 1939, when Lloyd Wentworth was chairman of the commission. Where along the line was the rule breached or forgotten? Along in November each yeat we hear quit a bit about the futility of Northwest members of the Pacific Coast Conference competing wjth their California grid rivals, but along come March when basketball is king such talk seems to die out entirely. OSC with two straight wins over UCLA in the playoffs over the w'eek end must be giv ing Los Angeles indigestion. . It was quite logical for the choice of a president of new-born Portland State college to fall to Dr. J. F. Cramer. Dr. Cramer 'is not only well qualified as an administrator (former superintendent of schools in Eugene and long-time head of the state extension division in higher education) but his identi- - fication with Portland Extension Center and its establishment in the former Lincoln high x school building in Portland made him the natural selection to head the new college. What worries the older institutions at Eugene and Corvallis is how fast this healthy infant will grow and state 1 budgeteers are con cerned with that. too.. Dr. Cramer is not one to want the school denied its birthright. Charles W. Robison will be remembered in Oregon not only as a very able lawyer, but as a dramatist of no mean ability. He was the "Mighty Meek" of radio and acting fame. His presence, his .voice combined to make him very effective. He was attorney also in some very important cases, one being the defense of Dave Rosser, labor goon, in the Polk county court; and as deputy prose cuting attorney for Multnomah county he conducted the prosecution in many cases. His death removes a colorful figure from the Oregon scene. It's all right to crack down on jaywalkers in Salem but it would give everyone even more of a break if a few gallons of paint could be used to renew the street lane lines, some of which are now about as useless as bifocals on a hat. Editorial Comment j i - " OUR CHANGING WORLD j What a difference just a few years rhake! Only about (10 years ago there was general agreement among the free nations that the first step to peace., on earth and good will to men was the total and permanent disarmament of Germany. j Today there is similar agreement, that not only MUST Germany rearm, but must join the free nations in the defense of western Europe against Soviet Russia, if world peace is to be, maintained, and another war prevented. General Guenther declares that .if Germany fails to rearm and join the allied coalition, there will be a fatal weakness in the defense line against Communist conquest which might lead to serious consequences if and when Russia declares the zero hour has come. 1 And . now the latest report from Europe is that the people of Western Germany will never sanction rearmament, they are at peace and prosperous.1 All they want is to be reunited with Eastern Germany and be left alone. Well, we hope this report along jwith many others is incorrect The only point fve wish to make at this time is this: It is surely not a static cosmos but a forever changing one, we live in. R. W. R. (Medford Mail Tribune) Diplomats at United Nations Beqinninq to Worry Over Attacks on U. N. by Knowland By MAX HARRELSON For J. M. ROBERTS JR.) Associated Press News Analyst Some diplomats at the United Nations are beginning to worry over attacks on the U.N. by Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) and other Re publican political leaders. Although the critics seem few in number and their views are dis puted by President Eisenhower, the anti-U.N. blasts have become -sharper and more frequent during the past few weeks. This raises the questions: How much are they influencing the pol icies of the Eisenhower adminis tration? j - e . j Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief U.S. delegate to the U.N.. says there, is no cause for concern. "We have reached a seven-year high in public support of the United Nations," Lodge said re cently. "Last November those who said we should get out of the United Nations reached an all time low of 7 per cent." Secretary of State Dulles and President Eisenhower have sup ported the U.N. at every opportu nity, as have Lodge and many sen ators of both major parties. Only a few weeks ago, the President challenged a statement by Know land that the U.N. no longer of fered effective means for achiev ing peace. But Knowland, and others, In cluding Sen. Bricker (R-Ohio) and Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis), stepped up their discussion of the U.N. over the weekend. Bricker raised the question ef legal procedure for withdrawal 1 He added: : "Unless our relationship with the U.N. is clarified within the reason ably near future, we shall be queath to our children and grand children almost certain civil strife," U.N. delegates from other coun- the problem of freeing the 15 tries are worried about the effect American fliers held by Red China, such Republican leaders might Some diplomats at the U.N. say have jon U.S. policy in the- U.N. frankly that its cause was hurt in There is a feeling the influence of the United States by the failure of va few critics already has caused the world organization to win the the State Department to become release of the U.S. fliers tad by less conciliatory on some impor- its recent failure to obtain a cease tant U.N. issues, particularly on fire in the strait of Formosa.

To the Editor: The legislature is talking about taking away the voters' right to vote on taxes that the legisla ture passes. If the American voters are so dumb that they givej away this previous right won from the Brit ish in the Revolutionary war, to vote on proposed taxes, then they deserve the economic misery and eventual loss of human rights whic" will follow, j - What the heck did we fight the Nazis and Japanese for, if not for the right to be free, and exercise that freedom by giving those we elected to office, consent, or dis tent, in administering government through our vote, as we citizens Irish? Who is whose public servant? Why do we pay legislators if they .are suddenly so almighty that we don't have a right over our earn ings?. ' This bill is as dangerous and ridiculous as signing a blank check. How could a citizen say, "I earned this money and ac cording to natural law am entitled . by my just labor to determine, if, where, when, how, and to whom H win be paid, also for what, if this bill becomes law?" , From the tax collectors' point of view the best way to prevent projects turning up without enough money is simply to put: 1 Price tag; 2-Source of funds, and 3 Project all on one bill or measure when it is presented to the people. This way they can see what it will cost, where the money wul come from, and what it is, all in one good look which will prevent everyone from a lot of, confusion. The writing de scribing a project or measure should be in a plain, understand able English. ' To heck with sales tax or any higher taxes. How about a cut in taxes? JOE SPENNER, Route 1, Box 209 Stayton, Oreg.' i (Editor's note: We know of no proposal to "take! away the voters right to vote on taxes that the legislature passes."

So far as could be, learned, she was Mary Pratt Haas, daughter of L. E. Pratt,' and she had the distinction of having woven the first woolen blanket made in Oregon.

He thought for example that the contacts would be beneficial they might hear better English ("no split verbs") in associating with children from white homes. I thought to myself there are thousands of white fathers whose common speech is more ungram matical than his. He felt also that in mixed neighborhoods the col ored people would fare better at the hands of the authorities. Now they seem to have little influence, and suffer discrimination from police and other public officials. The cabbie felt that one reason there was resistance to deseg regation was that the powers-that-be want to keep the Negroes herded together so they can con trol them more easily. That may be; and in Chicago they certain ly seem to be under political con trol with the boss Congressman Dawson, a Negro himself, who is vice-chairman of the County Democratic committee which dominates Chicago and Cook County. (It was the Negro wards which rolled up tremendous plur alities for Daly over Kennelly in the recent primary campaign for mayor.) What is more reasonable, how. ever, is that it is plain prejudice which insists on housing segre gation by social pressure in the North, and by law as well as cus tom in the South. Removing prejudice is a- slow process toougn progress is being made. Speaking of housing develop ment the government has allocat ed several million dollars for acquisition of decadent property m me Hyde Park area which borders the University of Chicago on the north. This was made the theme of the 1955 edition of the Revels, stased bv the faoiil ty of the University in Mandel hall last Saturday night. Through the courtesy of a cousin I got to ,see uie snow. it was a sprightly revue, with skits and songs and dances. The thread of the "nlot was the removal of the "blighted area" adjacent, which van re sisted by a greedy real estate man ana a more greedy pol itician. The bulldozer (a garden tractor driven by Chancellor Kimpton of the University) now. ered with nuclear energy (the Argonne laboratory at the Uni versity pioneered in atomic n search), got out of hand, how ever, and leveled all the univer sity buildings. Whereupon Texas millionaires invited them to found the University of Utopia in Texas. They fell for that, but it didn't pan out, so they: decided to move to the Midway. Telling song hits were "I Like Ike" to the tune of "Three Blind Mice;" as a "Mister Gallagher Mister Sheean" style duet between "Senator McCarthy and Private Schine." After three weeks of poring over statistics and listening to arguments and rereading trans scripts the show was a pleasant relief.

TRESES ffrw - mi Catholics go to Confession, to a priest for one reason only: to obtain divine for- ' giveness for their sins. But why, you ask, go to f a priest? Why not confess our sins directly to God? Ask the man who goes to Confession and here's what he will tell you: Sin is an offense against God, it must be f&rgivea by God. It is God, nor man, who determines how forgiveness must be obtained. Christ plainly pointed this out when He empowereoVHis Apostles and their successors to for give sins or to refuse forgiveness. "Whose sins you shall forgive " Christ said, "they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." (John2o!21-23). Thus Christ authorized the Apos tles, and their successors, to pardon or to deny pardon as they judged the sinner worthy or unworthy. To do this they had to know what they were forgiving... the secret dis positions of the sinner... .his sor row and willingness to repair the wrong done to his neighbor by his sins. Who could make, thii known but the sinner himself aad what is this but Confession? V' But Confession the Sacrament f but a life to be lived from" the cradle to the grave. Christ's seven Sacraments are thie answer to man's' seven basic needs. Man is bora but he needs to be reborn a Christian in the Sacrament of Baptism. He is nourished, but he seeds Christian nourishment in Hdy Communion, the Sacrament of the Eucharist. He growsbut he needs to grow and be strengthened in Christian life by the Sacrament of Confirmation. He is cured of disease, but he needs a remedy for , sin, so destructive of Christian life, and this he finds in the Sacrament of Penance. Man lives in society which needs' officials to promote the common good and for his life in the Church, he finds officials provided by the Sacrament of Orders. He ; perpetuates the human race in marriage, which Christ made the Sacrament of Matrimony. And at death, he needs consolation and strength for the last dread hour which he finds in the last Anoint ingthe Sacrament of Extreme Unction. ' Would you like to know more about each of the seven Sacra ments? How they can help you to of Penance-is only one-of the 'me the seven basic needs of your seven Sacraments Christ left in His i;fe Then -jr todav for W Church.
