Salute to Ground Observers
One of the most thankless jobs in Civilian
Defense, and yet Tone which Air Force Chief
Gen. Twining declares is a vital and indis
pensable part of national security, is that of
the Ground Observer Corps.
.The corps, which now has 400,000 persons
on 24-hour "Operation Skywatch," will have
it3 third anniversary July 14. Major factor,
in the observance of that event is the an
nouncement that the corps is becoming truly
nation-wide. Twelve southern and Rocky
Mountain states are assuming responsibil
ities which the other 36 states have been
carrying out for some time. National goal is
1,000,000 persons to operate 24,000 posts and
73 filter centers.
The Ground Observer shares in none of

she is merely the silent, patient, watchful
complement to the radar which is becoming
more and more an intrinsic part oi defense
but which has its weaknesses (low-flying
planes can come in under it undetected) and
which is far too costly to install at the
thousands of vantage points where "Opera
tion Skywatch is maintained.
To many folk, the Ground Observer Corps
teems a futile and time-wasting project.
Military men to date regard it differently,
and, after all, it is on them we must depend.
On the forthcoming anniversary of a pro
gram to which hundreds of thousands of
loyal Americans have given many hours and
much effort, we feel a special salute is well
warranted. ? ' "
It is true, too, that the Ground Observer
Corps is not merely watchfully waiting. Al
ready it is credited with spotting fires which
could have flared into . disaster; reporting
aerial plane mishaps in time to effect res
cues at sea; thrown its efforts into averting
panic in hurricane-stricken areas. .
-Its member include persons in all walks
of life, some of them doubling in their daily
duties as bridge tenders, prison guards, dam
caretakers. Others who donate time outside
of their regular work include a California
mother of 11 who is a restaurant dishwasher;
the great-great-granddaughter of Abraham
Lincoln; Willie Hoppe, world billard ' cham
pion; a legless World War I veteran; prison
convicts. The list is endless.
They won't get much thanks unless there
f 1 a-
is a climactic event wmcij we ail nope never
will happen. But in the meantime we assur
edly can recognize the spirit which prompts
their efforts.
Multnomah County Out of Step
The county assessor of Multnomah Coun
ty manages to keep out of step with the state
tax commission most of the time. It isn't
new with the incumbent, Wiley Smith, but
goes back a long ways in county history.
Some 15 years ago Commissioner Charles
Galloway got into quite a battle with Mult
nomah County to get it to bring its assess
ments on 'residential property up to parity
with business property. Years before, the
practice had been, established to let resi-
' dence valuations sag, putting more of the
load on commercial property. Then even the
Oregonian sobbed over the tax commission's
orders which were based both on law and -equity.
,
In recent years there have been contro-
' versies over appraisals of merchandise in
ventories; and now the State Tax Commis
sion has ordered county officials lo reduce
the assessment made by the county assessor,
against the Reynolds Aluminum plant at
Troutdale.
It is quite safe to assume that the state
body intervenes only when the facts make it
necessary. Local assessing officials are
granted wide discretion in determining val
ues; but appeals may be taken to the State
Tax Commission and then this body has to
act on the basis- of the evidence presented.
It is time Multnomah County "got back in
the Union!; and based its assessments on con
formity with state law.

Timher and Petroleum
Up here we think: we get pretty good
prices ior timber, and we do,' but both the
states and the federal government are real
izing fancy sums oa leases for offshore oil
lands. In May, Louisiana received over six
million dollass for drilling rights on 4,075
acres off its coast, or $1,539 per acre. An
other tract brought $1,468 per acre. Then it
will get "a royalty on any oil that may be
produced. The federal government is ob
taining hundreds of millions from oil com
panies for leases on lands it claims beyond
those held by the states. Then it receives a
rental of $3 per acre per year plus a sixth
of the oil produced under the leaseholds.
There is this difference, however: once the
petroleum is pumped the supply is perma
nently exhausted. Our timber lands will
keep on growing trees tot periodic harvest
ing indefinitely.
Oregon's smaller cities also are on the
' march population-wise. . Thirteen of them
will get more state highway and liquor rev
enues as a result of a 1955 census showing
marked growth in the previous five-year
period.
Newport with 30 per cent gain, Stayton
with 35 per. cent and Canby with 22 per
cent are among those in which a new count
was conducted recently. In all 13 instances,
the growth is a healthy, continuance of a
previous trend, in some places at an accel
erated rate.
In 1950, the nation's center of population
was in Richland County, HI. (A hundred
years before it was in West Virginia). By
I960, at the present rate, it appears the cen

River for the first time. .
Editorial Comment
RISING REAL WAGES
There is impressive evidence of the continued
good health of our economy in the latest data
on cost of living and manufacturing workers'
earnings published by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. Last month the Consumer Price Index
was unchanged from the previous month and
almost 1 per cent below the corresponding figure
a month ago. Take-home pay for the average
worker in manufacturing, on the other hand,
reached a sew high.
Taken together, these two facts indicate a con
tinuing and appreciable rise in real wages for
. manufacturing workers, an . increase in the
amount of goods and services they can buy. In
Hay, 1954, a manufacturing worker with no de
pendents had an average take-home pay of $58.97
a week. The corresponding figure last month
was $62.83, or almost four dollars more. The
increase in real wages, of course, has been '
slightly greater because of the decline in the
over-all cost of living. This combination of an
essentially steady cost of living and rising wages,
which has now ruled for the last several years,
uuggtsts an economy riding the economic waves
smoothly and making good progress forward.
Increased productivity of labor in manufac
turing is, of course, one of the key phenomena
which has made this rise in real wages possible.
The tremendous investment in .new equipment
of all kinds, the trend to automation of produc
tion processes, and the continued high level of
ourpnt have all played a part in developing this
'increased productivity from which all of us
benefit As we look forward to the period
ahead, with its likely increases in wages and in
supplemental benefits such as have been won by
the automobile workers, productivity will again
be the key to our economic fortunes. Without
higher productivity, increased labor costs must
force prices up, a phenomenon that can lead to
inflationary pressure or, at the other extreme,
lead to substantial unemployment by reducing
effective demand for the. products of our great
factories. New York Times.
Flag Waving 7Out of Date'; Independence
Day Good Time for Taking Stock' of Past
' "
By JOSEPH ALSOP
WASHINGTON, D. C In the
simpler past, July 4 used to be a
time for flag-waving, patriotic.
oratory and
glorious orgies
of firecrackers.
Nowadays,
however, flag
waving is out
of place. In
stead, this In
depend ence
Day is a good
time for taking
stock. ;
In the opinion
of this reporter.
anyone who now takes stock of
the national situation must first
of all write down 1955 as the year
when the Eisenhower administra
tion found itself, and the Amer
ican political process got back on
the rails. . .
ILwas like discovering a new
country, to return to Americana
. month or so ago, as this reporter
did, after an absence, of six
months on the other side of the
world. The venom, the suspicion,
the hatred that has so long been
poisoning American political life, .
were purged and gone. The sew
ers of our politics were no longer
running in the streets.- .
. The Congress, after all but
abandoning legislation in favor of
investigation, had once again be
come a legislative .body. Public
debate, after remaining for years
at the level of a mud slinging ex
change of personal accusations,
bad once again become reasoned
and sober and factual. The whole
tone was different. And this vast
Change like corning from dark
Bess into light, had happened in
only six months.
Partly, this immensely healthy
change ta the tee ef America
peDOea has te be attrlbated to
, Demeeratk Caagmsiaaal leaders
teat m previa their respM
jbOIty. Yet the key ngare is sun
president lUsenaever. Far the
Democrats weald sever be se
mack en their geed behavior if
they did aot fed a respect al-
appraachlag awe far the
Presideat's standing before the
eeentry. And the Presideat him
self was the first to set the aew
toae in which the ether, parties
to ear political dailogie are at
last respeadiag to him.
Eisenhower, then, has got what
he wanted from the first He now
presides over a new and desper
ately needed era of good feelings.
To this great gain, moreover,
another has been added.-
As late as last election time,
the American economy seemed
to be faltering. But now the rec
ord is dear. For two years,
prices have been held almost per
fectly stable. In the same two
years, with a minor check or
two, productivity has steadily
increased. This combination of
inflation well - controlled, with
prosperity in full boom is an
example to, the world. You may
think what you please about such
matters as the Dixon - Yates con
tract, but the over-all economic
achievement of the first two
Eisenhower years has been 'as
important as the restoration of
reason and sanity to our political
'life.
These two achievements, la
tarn have predaeed er perhaps
one eeght to say they are pra
dacing another melt that may
have .the mast far-reaching im
portance, when government was
an bat iaeapabte ef either thee fat
ec actio. Ideas were rigid. Alti
tades were rigid. The tacts ef life
ta ear time eeald hardly be na
eassed with keaesty, mach less
respeaded to wifh eearage and
deehuon.
.' With the political and economic
confidence restored, freedom of
thought and freedom of action1
have been restored too. The Ad
ministration is no longer de
barred, by fear of the political
r . ' VJV-
consequences, from dealing ade
quately with all the thronging
problems that confront H.
t Every problem can now be
tackled without prejudice, from
the severe domestic problem of
adjusting the requirements of in
ternal security to the larger re
quirements of a free society, all
the way to the 1 overmastering
world problem of survival in a
time when men possess weapons
that may destroy the human race
on earth.
This restoration ef the Ameri-
caa government's freedom to
think and act, this end of a long
paralysis, was the real drama
ef the twe recent Senate votes
endorsing the President's jour
ney to the summit conference
and approving a high level ia
vestigatian of the prevailing se
curity machinery.
Only last year, these votes
would have been unthinkable.
Today they are accepted as mat
ters of course.
Just because freedom to think
and freedom to act have at last
been regained, there is of course
no certainty that these vital free
doms wul be well and wisely
used. No chief of the American
state, not even- George Washing
ton or Abraham Lincoln, has ever
been confronted with more com
plex, taxing and difficult chal
lenges than now confront Presi
' dent Eisenhower.
The fate of this nation and the
free world plainly depends upon
flnding right answers to such
question as "What to do about
Asia?" and "How to reshape our
world strategy in the light of the
new H-bomb?- and "What can
be made of the new Soviet Line?"
Right answers to these and other
questions of our times are not
easy to find. But at least it is
vitally important that the Presi
dent now has the power to give
answers, which he lacked before.

On Ike's Talk
No Surprise'
By WILLIAM L. RYAN -
AP Foreign News Analyst ..
The news that the Moscow press
published without comment about
1,200 words ef President Eisen
hower's news conference seems to
have occasioned a large- measure
of surprise in the West Perhaps
Western observers are giving the
Soviet rulers a little too much
credit for open-mindedness.
Aside from the obvious fact that
the publication of the ' President's
views was all part of preparation
for the summit Big Four meeting
in Geneva this month, there was ,
little to be lost and something to
be gained by the gambit
The President was quoted as
saying nobody really knows who
is the dominating influence in the
Soviet government today. This is
not news to the Soviet public and
nothing new to the Soviet press.
It fits in neatly with the boast of
the Kremlin that it is ruled by
"collective leadership."
The Moscow account quoted the
President's remark that until the
Communist satellite nations had
the right to determine of their"
own free will their own forms of
government, there could be no real
peace in the worid.
This, also, has been the subject
of Soviet press comment, and
later, undoubtedly, will be quoted
again to the Soviet public as
evidence that the United States is
determined to interfere in the in
ternal affairs of sovereign nations.
Moscow has contended all along,
of course, that the satellite nations
of their own free will did choose
the Communist course, that they
"threw off the yoke of the ex
ploiters," and, in imitation of the
Soviet Union, are now engaged in
"building socialism."
The President's words, therefor;
probably will be held up to
Moscow's audience later as an hv
dication of aggressive American
intentions.
The Moscow press also quoted
the President as noting there had
been a change in the Soviet
position and this ultimately might
react favorably in the interests of
world peace. -
This does not in any way contra
dict Soviet propaganda, which con
tends that the U.S.S.R. has been"
making all the concessions up to
now in the interests of world
peace! including concessions on
disarmament and the control of
atomic weapons.
ThuS, there was little or nothing
to lose in the decision to. quote
the President liberally. The Sov
iet press has quoted the Presi
dent, former Prime Minister
Churchill and other Western states
men at length or in full when it
suited the Kremlin's peace of
fensives. In this instance, at slight cost,
the Soviet leaders give one more
demonstration that they are in a
mood to be reasonable, that
makes it easier to shift the blame
to the other side in future dead
locks. The Moscow press is preparing
its readers for events to come.
It seems to be building up a case
in advance for the Soviet dip
lomats, intended to show the
people at home that the Kremlin
is the party sinned against and
the Western diplomats the sinners.

tion. It keeps gnawing at us.
likewise the claim to "life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness-has
become part of the
very substance of the American
philosophy of government. Many
arguments arise over "liberty,"
and the phrase "pursuit of happi
ness" remains vague. But "life"
is still sacred, and "liberty" still
precious in the sight of all Amer
icans. The Declaration was in essence
the product of the time. It is the
fruit of 18th century liberalism
which had been undermining the
old doctrine of the divine right
of kings. Of contemporaneous
development was the conception
of "freedom of contract" in the
world of business, whose classic
expressions was given in Adam
Smith's "Wealth of Nations." In
this industrialized age classic
liberalism has undergone severe
strain. Numerous compromises
have been forced which greatly
circumscribe "freedom of con
tract." Personal liberty has also
been greatly curtailed: witness
today's traffic laws. These
breaches with what have seemed
fundamentals in our economic
and political philosophy have
come hard, and have precipitated
the sharp cleavage witnessed in
the politics of today. The real
problem is how to preserve the
essence of human liberty within
the disciplines imposed by the
prevailing structures in the busi
ness world; vast corporate enter
prises, monolithic unions.
The Declaration of Indepen
dence was not an instrument by
which a new nation was founded.
Its heading is "The Unanimous
Declaration of the Thirteen
United States of America." If
you look at the facsimile of the
original document on page '424
of the Oregon Blue Book you will
note that the words "of the
thirteen united" are in much
smaller text, none of them capi
talized. And in the closing para
graph of the instrument, the
declaration is made "in the name
and by the authority of the good
people of these colonies . . . that,
. as free and independent states,
they have the power to levy war,
conclude peace, contract al
liances, establish commerce, and
'to "do all other acts and things
which independent states may of
right do." In short the 13 colonies
became 13 independent states.
How the thirteen really became
one nation is another story, that
of the Constitution which wasn't
drawn up until 11 year later.

Fourth Largest -
Little South Korea now has the
world's fourth largest army be
hind only those of the United

army the best in Asia.
It is estimated at between 500,-
000 and 600,000 men. Still to come
are some naval craft and 75 Amer
ican Sabre jets for the South Ko

These are results of minimum

The Korean War resulted in the
birth of a 16-nation army, includ- '
tng seven U.S. divisions, a full
British Commonwealth division and
units of varying sizes from Turkey,
Greece, France, Belgium, Thai
land, the Philippines, Luxembourg.
Colombia, Ethiopia and The Neth
erlands. ' "
Now only a handful of the U.N.
forces remain. Today, the U.S. mil
itary advisory group is being
dwarfed by the formation of a
huge, overall organization which
aims to make the South Korean
forces "completely self-sufficient
for defensive purposes."
One of its functions will be to
recommend the amount of military
aid the South Koreans wul receive
each year.
Whether the unstable Korean
economy, whicn must support 20
million people, can maintain its
new army over the long haul is
something of major concern to
American and U.N. officials.
Currency Dispute
Rhee and bu government lead
ers have not always given what
American authorities call whole -
hearted cooperation in the aid pro
gram. They delayed a 700 million
dollar aid program for more than
six months last year over a cur-'
rency dispute. Then, in effect, they
accepted the aid funds under con
ditions originally laid down by U. .
representatives.
Rhee and the South Koreans do
not talk as boisterously today
about unification with the, north or
as bitterly about last year's U.S.
troop withdrawal The government,
however, remains dedicated to the
goal of unification. '
But now there is that old, old
dragon Japan. Rhee is making
the most of it even to the extent
of not honoring a part of last No
vember s aid agreement with the
United States -which called for
more trading with Japan. As an
excuse Rhee and other officials
contend Japan is leaning closer
and closer to the Communist
world.
Trade SmaH
American officials say Japanese
South Korean trade has been "neg
ligible." Yet this is the very area
where the United States hoped to
reduce the cost of rehabilitating
the Korean economy.
Nearly VA billion -dollars have
been diverted to South Korea since I
the armistice to help rebuild its
war-shattered homes and indus
try. During the Korean War, more
than lVi million persons were
either killed or wounded. U.S.
casualties approximated 136,000.
That war has been at end for near
ly two years now but Americans
will not be able to forget Korea -for
a long time.
The bitter conflict an unortho
dox one which began without a
declaration and ended without a
peace has created .one of the
most expensive orphans in Amer
ica's family .of allies. i
