Neuberger Accuses the President Senator Wayne Morse in 1946 called Presi dent Truman a "ham actor," a remark he lived to regret. Now Oregon's freshman senator, Richard L. Neuberger, has branded a statement by President Eisenhower as an "utter falsehood." The President had said with reference to federal expenditures for public works such as power plants, that when the government does this it can print the money to do the job; and went onto point out the dangers from printing 'press money: "That has the effect of cheapening money, and I don't think we ought to. go into that." Neuberger' s contention is that these power plants pay for themselves, hence his appli cation of "utter falsehood" to the President's comments. It impresses us as quite juvenile, like Morse's "ham actor" outburst. The President was correct in his diagnosis of the effects of-printing press money: it does lead to inflation. Theblowing up of the national debt from around $20 billion 25 years ago to near $275 billion now has been followed by great inflation, or in other words, a cheapening of the dollar. To the extent that the government printed more money to finance more public works infla tion would be given fresh stimulus. Now it is true that projects like Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams are paying off their power investment faster than was required in the 50-year payout schedule. But they haven't paid it out yet, and it will be years before they do. It may be argued . that it is good business for the government to bor row money to build these self-liquidating projects, but that doesn't refute the thesis in the President's general comment on printing press money. The new junior senator may disagree with - the President's theory about deficit financing and debate its validity; but he does ill to himself and to his cause by accusing the President of issuing an "utter falsehood." m a v . i t ft w m , je v ; r. bujl t , u i j Hunt for Bob Erripn A good many local people had some pain- j .ful financial memories "revived with reading how the authorities were hunting for E.

Judge Lindberg of Seattle described g Errion as a "fantastic person endowed with great facilities of I persuasion, a magnetic personality and an irresistible charm.". Many . around here could testify to the truth of the. judge's description. Errion, with his then close, associate, J. f R. Barton, first broke oi the local scene in .f the late 1930s promoting an oyster-growing - cooperative for Coos Bay lands. They in- uuttu many miiucia vy juni aitu money; but the enterprise blew up with a bang when members accused Errion and Barton of bilking them. Errion persisted in oyster bed promotion and was indicted for using mail! to defraud in this operation, but was acquitted in 1946. More recently Errion, who had broken with Barton, was a prime prompter in Beaver Plywood cooperative which planned a mill at Independence. Then he claimed to hold a big body of choice timber, also special pat ents for machinery. This project died a-born-ing. Then Errion moved his talents to pro moting a plywood and hardboard cooperative at Estacada, and a similar cooperative at Mount Shasta, California. Widows seemed to fall victim to Errion's - charm and plausibility. One in Seattle holds mmmmmmm&!&& a judgement for $88,000 against him on a Coos Bay oyster land deal, and two others are suing him in Seattle courts. Meantime neither Errion nor any assets in his name have been located. The moral is obvious; but while the law may sometimes circumvent the designers of evil or pursue them after the event, the law can't lower the birthrate on suckers. mesa ByLichtyJTnpnmftTax Collections iDowninl955 WHh wires using Won hods' 'prepared muxes' pod 'tare meals' thesi (Continued from page 1.) Please, No "Alternatives" Among the various ideas sprung at the legislature over the tax business is one to submit to the people various alternatives and let them make the choice. That would be a poor way to legislate. The people might vote down all the proposals. That would of course leave the fateful alternative of putting alt the deficiency, subject only to the six-mill levy limitation, on property. No, let the Legislature adopt the program it deems best, leaving the event to the hands of God or the demagogues. We are not sure whether it should anticipate a referendum by prescribing an "iffy" special election. There's a lot of bucking 'and balking because no one wants to carry more of the tax bur- T3ut tVia nunnla nt Ore cfrvn Irnnur Trip lnari must be borne they want no deficit which would merely postpone or increase the bur den. So, let's get on with the show; and let the chits fall where they may. Confirmation of John Harlan as Supreme Court justice was long delayed, to the dis credit of the senators who held up the nomination in committee. Only 11 voted against him when his name finally went be fore the Senate. Justice Harlan is recog nized as an eminent lawyer, a man of high character, entirely worthy of the office to which he has been named. He comported himself with dignity through the period of silent treatment accorded him and in the hearing where senators sought to get him to commit himself on public issues, probably for purposes of entrapment. He has a great name to live up to, that of his grandfather who served on ihe same court long ' and ably; but the country should not expect or want just a carbon copy of his ancestor. The four representatives from Marion County have joined to introduce HB 507 which would create two subdistricts in this county for election of two representatives each. One is composed of the City of Salem and 13 adjacent voting precincts; the other of the remainder of the county. The population of the county is divided about equally be tween the two. No senatorial subdistricts are proposed. The bill has been referred to the House committee on elections, and presum ably a public hearing on it will be held. Then all, who are specially interested may appear and express themselves. We think the delegation was wise in offering a subdis trict.plan. This county voted for the amend ment which makes such a division possible. $58 a share on present stock, or $5.80 on the increased num ber of share outstanding. This, it is figured, would permit a dividend, of $3 a year, or five per cent return on a price of $60. Total assets of Ford Motor Co. are given at over two billion dollars, arid sales last year at four billion; profits around $200 million. Profits in 1953 were $175 million. The com pany has been financing its postwar capital investment of $1.7 billion without recourse to bonds or bank loans. Thus one of the last family owned industrial empires will be opened for public ownership though not, initially at least to any public control. Ford has been a magic name in the auto motive business and in the world of modern industry. Hen ry Ford Sr. started his company in 1903 with a capital of $28, 000. He had it in mind to build a low-cost car for the mass market, and surely succeeded. Ford had a few early partners but by 1919 had bought up their interests for $75 million. , Once after the first World War when Ford was short ofi cash he sought bank loans, but when the bankers insisted o n some changes and some voice in management he turned from them, shipped cars to dealers and put them on pressure to Application Deadline Near For Veteran Tax Exemption Personal income and corporate excise tax collections for the first eight months of the current fis cal year aggregated $30,908,355, as compared with $33,792,318 for the similar period a year ago, the State Tax Commission announced Friday. . Of the total collections for the first eight months of the 1954-55 fiscal year $22,650,904 represent ed personal income tax and $8, 257,450 corporate excise tax. Personal income tax collections during the first eight months of the previous fiscal, year amount ed to $24,050,061 with corporate excise tax collections totaling $9,742,257. There were 108,843 taxable returns filed in the eight months period this fiscal year as against 108,844 returns during the prev ious fiscal year. Accounts receivable as of Feb ruary 28 agregated $7,160,761 as compared with $6,034,751 a year ago. April 1 is the deadline for dis abled war veterans and for widows of war veterans to apply for the $1,500 property tax exemption al lowed by state law, the State Vet erans Department announced Fri day.

Might be good This man Summerfield really is shaking up the post office department. He is even making a move to substitute ball point pens for the familiar scratchy steel pens that have been in use since goose quills went out of style. It has been said that you never found a poor pen in a bank or a good one in a post office. That may no longer be true: banks are providing ball points too. advice for senators, but what about editors? Atomic War for Formosa's Offshore Islands Seen as Likely, Because of U.S. Weakness i ad Ml By JOSEPH ALSOP HONG KONG Take the grave weakness of the American armed forces on this side of the Pa cific. Blend in what seems to be the American - r: policy in the I Miw i Formosa crisis. Aoa ine iormia able array of Chinese Commu nist military power. Then bake at crisis heat. What you get from: this repel- alwkAbwp. the ckar'poSsi bility, almost verging on the likelihood, that the United States will end by having to fight an atomic war iqr Formosa's offshore islands. That Is not the Eisenhower administration'; inteatfaa, of course. The intention is to . make a ctase-fire deal. r to teach the Communists to mind their manners in a "limited" fight. Bat the Administration's Intention has less and less rela tion to the real drift of event. It can be safely predicted that the Chinese Communists will not formally assent to a cease-fire. In this city where the best in formation on Communist China is available, every competent au thority, American, British and Chinese, also agrees that Pekings means to attack the offshore islands this spring. Therefore, unless the National Security Council again reverses American policy, a fight for the offshore islands involving American forces is now in the cards. In such a fight, the air battle will be crucial. A powerful Com-" munist force is now massed for the air battles in the great Chi nese airbase complex in Chekiang and Kiangsi provinces, as al ready described in this space. . Ha i we, then, any assurance of beating this powerful Communist air force without using the abso lute weapons? An unhappy "no" It the only possible answer to this key ques tion. No one ran give any other answer, who knows the hard facts of oar' weakness. Our only prospective allies, the Chirsse Nationalists, have one unready group of F-86 fighters, and one obsolete group of F-84s to match the very great Commu nist strength in jet aircraft. All the rest of the small Nationalist air force is composed of rotary engined types. The U. S. Far Eastern air force has some 500 planes less, on its roster today than on the grim day when the Korean War began. Furthermore, it has no bombers whatever except for one group of B-36s on Guam. As they have been .exclusively trained with atomic weapons, the B-36s cannot hit a fair sized county with conventional bombs. Finally, there Is the Seventk Fleet, r-lth ita total strength f six carriers and no replacements In sight On the Seventh Fleet will fall mast fall almost the whole burden of the air offen sire. Refuelled Air Force fight ers may be ased as bombers. But the main Job of sweeping the enemy airfields, which it the only way to win the air battle, will have' to be done by aval air. That is the realistic situation. The Navy's leaders in the Pa cific are strongly committed to the view that we must Fight for the offshore islands. They do r . want to discourage a bold policy." They profess to be able to do the job the situation im poses -on them. - But history says it is a very risky business to send in a car rier force against a strong land based air force. In the present case, the risk is" all the greater because the Communists are ready to their llyushin-28 jet bombers, which are almost as fast as our Corner -borne fight ers. Maybe the optimism, of the admirals will be justified by the events. But common prudence demands preparedness for a dif ferent outcome. This assessment of the situa tion is tLe rea! explanation of the recent, sensational Tokyo story reporting that l.igh American au thorities expected atomic war in a matter of weeks. The authori ties in question were undoubted ly located in the Air Force. The American air leaders in the Far East are no doubt some what prejudiced by the fact that FROM STATESMAN FILES 10 Years Ago March 19, 1945 E. C. Charlton, assistant chief of the police of Salem, received word he had been named to the board of governors of the Inter national Association of Law En forcement Officials. In Salem the past week was Capt. Ralph E. Wilson, of Ad miral Halsey's staff. He was a guest of his mother, Mrs. Jessie J. Wilson, and his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neer. McMinnville High School's Al berta Schmander, with a score of 94 per cent, twirled her baton to first- place in the Salem Elks' seventh annual statewide drum majorette contest. 25 Years Ago March 19, 1930 About 60 individual letters from various firms in Salem went to C. C, Coleman in Washington, D. C, urging the establishment of a take delivery and pay for them, That way Ford got over his financial crisisMEver afterwards he was quite -allergic to banks and bankers. The Ford Foundation was set up in 1936 to disburse charity funds of the Ford family. When Edsel Ford died in 1943 he be queathed a large block of Ford stock to the Foundation and Henry Ford Sr. did the same on his death in 1947. This Foundation is now the largest of all such philanthropic trusts. Its trustees feel the Foundation : hould not be so intimately tied to the fortunes of one business. This prospective sale of Ford stock to the public brings to mind the earlier sale in toto of a family-owned automobile com pany. The Dodge Brothers con cern had been very successful, but after death of some mem bers of the family it was sold to a Wall Street banking house which distributed the shares to the public. The company didn't do so well under the changed management, so Walter Chrys ler picked it up and made the Dodge division an important component of Chrysler Corpora tion. In this instance the sale of Ford stock forecasts no change in management which under-the younger Fords, Henry Ford II and his brother William has proven aggressive and suc cessful. . So widely used is the Ford ear and so famous the Ford name that it is easy to predict that the Ford stock will be quickly subscribed when it is offered to the public it doesn't take a tipster to make that prediction. The "life" or death" of the Dis tinguished Artist Series will be decided at a meeting of the Wil lamette University Student Coun cil Wednesday. The series is financed by the university's student government, which reports the project during the last two years has put it over $1,000 in debt A special meeting will be held ! Tuesday to hear arguments for or against the series. Townspeople are expected to state their views at this meeting, which will be held at 4 p.m. at Eaton Hall, as will the Wednesday meeting. The university's student gov ernment now pays the amount of the cost of a concert not covered by the sale of tickets. The money is taken out of a student govern ment fund. Discussed at the Tuesday meet ing will be the possibility of charging an activity fee to each student to help defray expenses. Another topic will be subsidiza tion of the series by interested townspeople. County Court Fourteen applicants, including four Salem residents, have applied for the job of- state fair employ ment practices administrator, the State Civil Service Commission said Friday.

Non-Farming Jobs Steady Oregon's non-farm employment in 'February held steady around 436,700, which was 10,000 to 12 000 . more than a year ago, the U n e m p loyment Compensation Commission said Friday. The totals were slightly under those for two years ago. The commission said the lum ber industry employed 75,700 workers, biggest February on record except for 1951. The in dustry total was 8,000 more than a year ago.

Road Repairs Potential road improvements oc cupied Marion County Court mem bers Friday as two requests for improvement under the Bancroft Act and one request to re-open a road were received. More than 70 per cent of prop erty owners on Scott avenue in Labish Village have requested by petition that the street be im proved, according to County Sur veyor A. D. Graham. Another property owner, who lives on S. 13th street, conferred with the court about possible im provements . in his area. He was told the road could be improved under the Bancroft Act, but could not become part of the county sys tem because it is 10 feet short of the required 50-foot width for county roads. He told the court he would seek additional right-of-way. The county is also considering re-opening a road in Gates which it vacated some years ago. Re quest to re-opn the road was made by a property owner who now has no road leading to his place. The court was told by Assistant Engineer Ted Kuenzi that if it should open the road it would give also access to county-owned prop erty along the Santiam River which could be used for public park purposes. No decision was reached. County Bar Unit Host to State Group Members of the Marion County Bar Association were hosts to the Board of Governors of the Oregon State Bar Association and attorney-members of the legis lature Friday night at a dinner business meeting at the Senator Hotel. Members of the .Association's board are O. D. Yokum, presi dent, John Day; Thomas H. Tongue III, vice president, and John Halloway, secretary, both of Portland; Wendall Wyatt, As toria; George A.'

Van Dyke, Medford. they have virtually nothing to - "local" airplane mail service be- fight a war with, except atomic weapons. Airmen everywhere are also inclined to expect land based air to win a contest with carrier aviation. The Air Force viewpoint must be discounted for these reasons. Yet however much you discount the Air Force viewpoint, it is still more closely in accord with the facts than the admirals' view point We simply have not got the forces available in the Far East to be even reasonably sure of winning a fight for the 'off shore islands with conventional weapons. The forces needed to give us a reasonable margin were sacrificed, long ago. to the budget and the tax structure. But if we enter the fight for the offshore islands, we most win at all costs. For if Amer ican forces are engaged and de feated, all Asia will regard the defeat as a decisive proof of su perior Communist power. And .the sequel will then be total ca tastrophe throughout Asia. . Hence it is not hard to fore see what can too easily happen. If the fight for the islands goes against us, as it may well do. tween Portland and Medford, in cluding Salem. A spelling survey was made in the county grade schools, with plans worked out by H. E. Tobie, Stayton principal. Robert Goetz, Tribute to Van Meters To the Editor: May I add a very brief note to your recent editorial entitled, "A Practicing Preacher." When I was sponsoring the Fair Employment Practices Bill in the 1949 session of the Oregon , Legislature, I found no more helpful or effective ally than the Reverend William S. Van Meter. Reverend Van Meter not only brought many outstanding people to the Senate Committee on Labor to testify in behalf of the bill, but also played a major role in helping to mobilize the public opinion which eventually resulted in passage of the bill. "Both Reverend Van Meter and his wife, Jane, were always .in the forefront of various human itarian causes in which the Legis lature interested itself. Without such people I doubt if very much social legislation of a forward looking nature ever would be passed. It takes the Bill Van Silverton principal, and Ralph Meters and the Jane Van Meters Tavenner, secondary supervisor in Salem schools. The State Corporation Depart ment was the first branch of the state administration .to open for business in its new location in the State Office Building. Mark Mc--Callister is the Corporation com missioner. 40 Years Ago March 19, 1915 The- German commerce raider Prinz Eitel FriedrMi loaded coal at Newport and is apparently pre paring to make a dash to sea where British and French war ships are waiting.

As a resident of the state of Oregon, I should like to say that Schenectady's gain is Oregon's loss. We have all too few Bill Van Meters and Jane Van Met ers. I know I join with their other many friends in wishing them all the success and happi ness and good fortune in the world in their new home. Richard L. Neuberger United States Senator Washington, D.

Property owners south of Cen ter Street did get good prices but this had business possibili ties. North of Union Street is strictly a residential district and they will receive no such price. I wish to call to your attention where the State took the con demnation proceedings to court the jury allowed about 50 per cent more than the State's best offer. The owners of two large homes on Summer north of Un ion that were sold in 1953 indi cated that they took about a 10 per cent loss because of the threat of State acquisition.
