Now, he complained, Repub lican congressmen from Oregon are trying to "de-authorize" them. ' The inference was left that there is some thing sacred about federal authorization. Ac tually the country is full of projects "which have been authorized by Congress but for which no money has been appropriated. Last year Democrats down South got tired wait ing for money for a Coosa River development that had long been authorized and got Con gress to "de-authorize" it so Alabama Power Co. could lake it over and provide the people . with needed electricity. 4 Authorization is the first step in 'a fed eral project, aside from reclamation where the Secretary of the Interior has broader powers. But authorization is not final, for the project still has to run the gauntlet of getting money appropriated. There is nothing heinous about deauthorization. Congress it self has altered development programs from time to time. --. The real issue is whether the federal gov ernment should install the power facilities at these two relatively small dams or let a pub lic body.the Eugene Water and Electric Board, install them at Cougar and a private utility. Pacific' Power and Light, -at Green PeUr. These are such minor .works that it is by no means essential that they be under federal control. Morse himself says that if the government doesn't go ahead with con struction he will favor some contractual deal. It is hard to see how advocates of public ownership can object to letting Eugene de velop the power in its own backyard. In any event the argument should be over the merits of the jpartnership proposal as com pared with federal construction, not over the mechanics of authorization or deauthorization. An "expert" writing In a nation magazine says that artistic hobbies, such as painting, iculptoring or the like indicate'a person has some sort ef a maladjustment or emotional disturbance. And thinking of Winston Churchill's hobby of oils (in: which he won a prize in London Saturday,1 by the way), the thought occurs that perhaps maladjust ment and emotional disturbances should- be more genera'L Or maybe there should be fewer experts. : .7 ; t One Washington correspondent says the ef fort now is to get the two Chinas to agree on renunciation of use of force without re nunciation of claims. Chou En-lai could con tinue to" claim Formosa and Chiang Kai-shek could continue to claim the mainland; but both would keep their artillery ir, grease. That would be one way of easing tensions , ; for the time being. - Mood of Japanese People Gradually Turning Away From Cooperation With United States By Joseph AIsop TOKYO On the surface, Am erica's relations with Japan seem to be as satisfactory as ever. But look beneath the surface a little. You quickly find all 1 sorts of signs that President Eisenhower! was being a bit premature when . he officially described Japan as "the bastion of American defense In the Pacific." A national mood is always hard to detect correctly, and even ui ucr mi uciuic without exaggera-r- uon.

' It is 1 mood of impatience, ir ritation, doubt, and even rising anger with the United States. These emotions are controlled and repressed for the present, to be sure, by-highly practical considerations. But remove the repression by changing Japan's practical situation. The emotions that are now quite largely bot tled up may then burst forth with quite astonishing force. This far, the. Americas policy makers have exceeded, la bland ly Ignoring this Japanese mood.

Bat ores la the case' of the Japanese conservatives," if yoa look' be aeath the sarfaee what yoa dis cover Is disrarbiag. The two conservative parties, the Liberals and -Democrats, still have the majority, because they have more money, more political ' organization and more political experience. But they pre not only split into rival groups which are in turn riddled by internal fac tion and intrigue. They also lack the confident leadership and the bold, dean programs that are ' so desperately, seeded by this t&on looking for a new direction. - ' Ort., Tuesday, May 3, 1955 More Plywood Mills , Plywood mills continue to sprout like mus tard seed. A new one is slicing peelers at In dependence; another to make sheathing ma terial is scheduled for Dallas. Other mills are starting or projected in other communities. According to a'repcrt of the Federal Re serve Bank of San Francisco there were 100 softwood plywood plants operating at the end of 1954 irt the 12th district, compared with 40 at the end of the second world war.' Dur ing the year capacity for manufacture of plywood from Douglas' fir increased by 16 per cent. Since 1947 the average annual rate of increase in plywood production has been 13 per cent, a remarkably high figure. The 'bank's bulletin reported, that aeven moj-e plywood plants were under construction or proposed for this district in 1955.'! J The expansion is the result of several fac tors. One is the necessity of getting the greatest amount of value out of logs. Anoth er is the utility of plywood in building form and for partitions and cabinet work, and the saving in carpenter's wages from its use. Still another is the do-it-yourself craze. Ply wood is well adapted for use In home.shops for making a wide variety of home service units. i .. I This extension of local manufacturing from rough lumber to plywood panels pro vides more employment and helps take up the slack as lumber mills shut down for afflo X80 Or, as second Miren 1. 187. printed la. lack of good 1954 rebels, i Moreover, while their antl communism is sincere enough, the pro-Americanism of Japanese conservatives is strictly' a mat ter of expediency. The big bus inessmen who dominate the con servative parties think that as yet Japaa cannot survive economi cally without the link to Ameri ca. Hence the Japanese conserva tive politicians are officially pro American. Bat it is very dear their hearts are not ia it. For example, the conservative strong man. Finance Minister Hisato Ichimada, would no doubt .formally deny any anti-Americanism. But; one cannot resist the suspicion that if circum stances permitted, Ichimada would like nothing better than to tell America to go to hell and launch into an agresssively independent policy. As - for . the two socialist parties of the Jap anese left, they are still a polit ical minority. But , the trades unions are now giving the social ists both the funds and the political organization in the big towns that they need so badly to compete with the conserva tives. The young people are all socialists, and mostly left-wing socialists. And while both social ist parties are strongly anti-American, the left-wing socialists ar also strongly pro-Soviet The Japaaest socialists sitter, perhaps evea more than the con servatives, from a shortage of leaders and a lack of practical programs. Bnt la this nation which has mot yet found itself . since the war, the political left caa quits conceivably via one day If the tread of world events contuses to discredit the Amer ican alliance. Ia any case, one mast faes the fact that the Amer icas allianec is pot something the Japanese of any party like, bat rather something the ma jority still submit to because they think they most. There are two reasons why a majority of Japanese still hold! this opinion. The first is plaia hard cash. - . By far the largest item in the' Japanese balance of .trade is the annual ef change of more thaa 1800,000,000 with the United States. The exchange is uneven since we import less titan half saw timber. V The bomb demonstration for the benefit of civil defense workers has been put off so long the stranded visitors have altered Ms name from "Operation Cue" to "Operation. Miscue." Thanks to the wind and the weathj er the bomb turned out to have a long time fuse. . I On motion of Clem Attlee the Labor party rebel, Nye Bevan, was voted back into the party as member in good standing, just a month before the British general electioij. This might serve as an example to U.S. Dem ocrats who have been talking purge of their President Eisenhower .told the Associated Press members that this country is going to send an atom-rowered ship around the world. This would, be a gesture quite in contrast with ; that of Teddy Roosevelt . in sending the U. S. fleet on a glpbal circuit while he was President. I Editorial Comment RATIONALE OF WASTE j The president-elect of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Paul B. Sears, has told a meeting of two western divisions of that organization that the drain upon the 'na tion's natural resources "passes .belief." And he finds himself "chilled by the philosophy which would exploit such resources without restraint on the assumption that the physical sciences can be counted on to find substitutes for everything. This would mean, says he, "an increase in the slavery of men to mechanisms of their own de vising." I At the level of material resources and mechan isms, of course, it is a matter of degree. Counting on the intelligence of men to find new substances and new ways is certainly better than cowering before the specter of limitation. And, as compared to huddling before the smoky hearth of our an cestors, we become slaves to mechanisms of our own devising when we flick on the burner. j Dr. Sears recognizes this factor of degree when he goes on .to point the goal of "an orderly bal ance among men and between men and re sources." Put in moral terms, what is wrong with the rationale he condemns is not that it puts faith in the ability of men's intelligence; to triunrph over the harshness in their physical environment but that it finds reasons to condone profligacy. And profligacy ultimately mocks use. (Christian Science Monitor) the value in goods from Japan that Japan takes from us. For the present the margin is coV ered by American military ei- Apenditures here. For the. pres ent, therefore, money is the chief motive of the -staunch insistence of the Japanese big businessmen ; on the American alliance. j But no one knows what the future business attitude may be, when and if the Ensenhower-Wil-son-Humphrey disarmament pro gram greatly cuts out military spending here, and Japan can no longer pay for American imports.. with American dollars. As to the second Japanese mo tive for reluctantly holding to the Americas alliance, It Is Just as crodely practical as the first. Everyone likes to be with the winner. Asians like it more than most people, and the Japanese are Asians. Almost tea years la ter, the aftertaste sf America's victory la IMS is still strong ia Japan. That far, the great majority of Japanese find it hard to believe that America will sot be the final victor ia any world showdown. ' - -. This confidence born of ex perience that America is a win ner was the real explanation of the Japanese indifference to our early defeats in the Korean Watt. What should have caused a panic in Tokyo did not cause a ripple, put confidence is always a fra gile thing. The Japanese are be coming more aware of the Asian crisis. And if the great crisis in Asia produces ar series of shat tering defeats for the free world, as seems only too likely, a com plete recalculation of Japanese politics will have ta be made. I This is the real heart sf the matter. It is foolish to provoke needless, resentment among al lies, as wo have done with the Japanese. Bat it b absolutely fatal to forget the rale laid down some eighteen centuries ago by the great Tacitus, "let them dei test as ; so long as they respect as.

In the 1953 session Governor Pat terson recommended action along .this line. Members soon found the subject needed more study than was available during a busy ses sion so the Assembly authorized appointment of a Water Re sources Committee. Xyle Watts, former U. S. chief forester served as chairman. This committee held numerous meetings over Oregon and came up with a com prehensive report and speciic recommendations on legislation. The principal recommendations were for a ground water code and a permanent state water re sources commission.' This Assembly receiyed the re port, and the bills to carry out the recommendations. Numerous committee hearings were held at which views , of citizens and or ganizations were presented.

S. Must Walk Softly In Viet Nam By J.M. ROBERTS Associated. Press News Analyst The United States has seldom been in a situation where she needed to walk more softly than in Viet Nam today. It s not merely that she has be come involved in a multiple-sided family fight. That s bad enough, especially when it deeply involves relations with France. There is the additional danger that, even though she is backing the side of independence, she will appear to other Asiatic peoples as replacing France in the colonial picture. This is something Wash ington ' has studiously sought to avoid. - . ' That France is losing the 'po litical battle for Indochina seems jut as obvious as her loss of the military battle last year. But she has been fighting hard to do what the British did when India finally gamed her independence. That is to preserve her commercial inter ests, in Communist-held as well as in non-Communist territory. One of France's great handicaps in this stems from the fact that she has been forced to accept American economic aid for South Viet Nam, which gives the coun try dollars to pay for American imports when reduction In expend itures by the French armed forces has reduced the supply of France. Ideology also plays an important part in the split. The United States hopes to see a stable government in Viet Nam before next year s voting when it is feared the Viet minh Communists might take over the whole country. 4 Americans have never fallen for the French effort to present chief of state Bao Dai, the former Em peror, as a symbol of loyalty for all Viet Nam. . He has always looked like a playboy puppet through whom the French sought to maintain their control while making noises about extension of independence. Now there is armed rebellion against the established govern ment of Premier Diem, appointed by the French through Bao Dai, at American urging. The chief rebel force is led by unsavory characters who appear to have been connected with Bao Dai, or at least shielded by him, as they organized vice and rackets. The sources of the money to support his lavish life on the French Ri viera, including heavy play at the gambling casinos, has never been clarified. 00 Diem, on the other hand, has the reputation of an honest man nationalistic, but dead set against the Communists in whom many Indoch 1 n e s e nationalists have placed their faith. If Diem wins his fight, as now seems likely after a very shaky period, the United States will take on increasing stature in Southeast Asian affairs, and by, that very token the tightrope she must walk will become more slippery.

Eisenhower called this third an nual get-together with the gover nors since he took office "a very salutary thing." He said the meet ing served to "bring us back closer to the people of your states." Former Governors Jn addition to the governors and their wives, the President's audi ence of about 250 persons 'in the Mayflower Hotel included several former governors now in Congress or elsewhere in the federal gov ernment. Chief Justice Earl War ren and most members of the Eisenhower Cabinet also were present. The President spoke of the evolu tion, of the American form of gov ernment and said that "If we ever lose the system" set up by the nation's earlier leaders, "We shall lose the United States as we know it." ' Then he declared: "It doesn't particularly bother me whether vou aeree with me. with a smue. he added that he has "heard of two or three of you disagreeing with me. sometimes violently. Ivory Tower - The President said he welcomes that, and spoke out against .the idea of governors or federal offi cials "sitting in sn ivory tower," oblivious to criticism. He said that in "honestly sharp ening our wits m dealing with honest men ... we have the best assurance that our country will stay in the pattern laid out 170 years ago.

"I feel - that the aspiration of global peace is based on justice and decency add respect for oth ers,' and that it means that ws must - continue our prosperity at home," he said., ; Glowing Picture Other speakers painted a glow ing picture of America's future and economic era in which they predicted Repressions will be ob solete, the standard of lmng pos sibly doubled and '"three-car fam ilies" commonplace. About 3,500 businessmen are at tending the meeting which runs through Wednesday. Eisenhower, plugging for the foreign trade program he has asked Congress to enact, told the delegates that in the interests of freer world trade "we must make some concessions and some here and there will be a bit pain ful." - But if the program goes through and international bade is strength ened "we simply cannot lose in the struggle against communism," he said.; ' v Ike's Program The Eisenhower program calls for a three-year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act with authority for the President to reauce tarius 15 per cent during that period in return for similar trade advantages in foreign mar kets. It has passed the House and is being debated in the Senate. - Eugene Holman, board chair man of the Standard Oil Co. (N. J.) spoke up for the administra tion's foreign trade program and expressed hope- that, it would get through Congress " without crip pling, amendments." 1 In another address to the cham ber. Lester L. Colbert, president of Chrysler Corp., forecast that 1955 may be the auto industry's best year. He went on to predict that "by 1975 the one-car family could be in the minority and a large proportion of families may be using three or more cars." In a similar vein, ,Gem D. Johnston, chamber president, said "we can double the American standard of living by 1965 if ws really putour minds to it." eHare Hound?
