" ture but it doesn't show much promise of
being the hit song of the year. Maybe ie
cause it was a bit negative: ,
" "I ain't never done nothing for nobody ...
nobody's never done nothin' for me ..." (Or
wo ds to that effect). .
; Of course, the sentiment .is hardly original.
Another Bob, Burns by name, sang the same
tune a long time ago: .
t "Naebody cares for me, I care for nae-
body." . ' S
' Thai's one of the Scottish poet's lesser
known verses, maybe .because it doesn't ring
true. Today, with the simple human impulse ,
to respond to need organized into super-efficient
agencies suchas United Fund, nobody
needs go without needed care.
.Every normal human being cares for other
people. The instinct for . self-preservation
may be basic, but there also seems to be an
instinct' to help others. Little children show
their selfishness very early but at the same
time they also show sympathy for their fel
lows: toddlers rush to pick each other up if
one falls, and may even Express concern for
another's unhappiness by- proffering treas
ured toys. This concern for the welfare of
our neighbors still is present in most adults.
Newspaper stories of some family's 'misfor
tune elicit immediate offers of assistance with
money, food and clothing. The will to share
Is there; usually the problem is only I the
means of expressing concern.
United Fund is the most convenient and
effective method so far discovered 'of enab
ling all of us to- show we care by sharing our
goods with each "other.
And the fine thing about it is that sharing
with UF actually is an investment. We all
' share in the benefits of such charitable and
.civic service fund appeals. Most of the $205,-
uuwvto oe raised in mis secona ur campaign
will stay here. Only $18,623 goes to Oregon
and National Chests. Of the $36,621 that eoes
to the Red Cross, a large proportion will be
spent for Red Cross services in this com
. tnunity. The other agencies who get the big
gest cuts Boy Scouts, Salvation .Army,
YWPA anrl VMfA nrimarilv sprvp the Sa
lem area, and their influence for good in the
community help make Salem and its envir
"Toris an area in which we are proud to live.
So the' 1955 UF slogan could just as well
be "If you hare, care." We all share. And
our contribution-investment expresses not
only our desire to help those .less fortunate
and to benefit ourselves, but our gratitude
for our good fortune in Jiving "in a commu
nity where neither Bob Burns nor Bob Hope
can say Nobody cares." (M.W.W.)
Freedom of Information
So ThatNone Shall IntThDarf
. ' j i .
This is National Newspaper Week and .
The Oregon Statesman joins thousands of
other American newspapers in dedicating it
self anew to the service of this nation and
its people. - .
There is no celebration of the week as
such. It is merely a time, when newspapers
stress the farsightedness of the stalwarts
who wrote into the United States Constitu
tion the provision that information of inter
est .to the public and vital to public affairs
' may be published without governmental re
straint." For that-is-what freedom of the ?
press means. .
Freedom of the press is not the property of
the newspapers. - It dOQ not entail a special -privilege.
It was not written into the Con
stitution as a prerogative of , publishers, ed-"
itors or reporters. It has only to do with
freedom of public information and intrinsic
in it is an obligation to the newspapers to .
get and print it. '
The makers of our Constitution were vital
ly interested in seeing that nothing happened
in this country as has happened in Germany,
Argentina and other countries where the
muzzling of the press, which means no more
than the withholding; of information which
any populace must have to assure itself of
decent government, led to dictatorship and
chaos. -. ''
J. R. Wiggins, executive editor of the
Washington Post and Times-Herald, puts it
succinctly: "The right of citizens to know and
their right to govern themselves are. in
practical effect, the same riht. History does
not record a free government thst w?s secret
or a secret government that was free."
There are continual assaults on freedom of
public information, a continual challenge to
reoorters to keen ooen the avenues of news
which many would prefer closed. Keening
those avenues open is a maior responsibility.
How well they' are kent oen determines how
well the newsoaners are discharging the ob- mmmmmwmmmmmm
ligations which founders of this nation im
posed on them.
No newspaoer is above criticism. Neither
is anv office-holder. All should welcome the
scrutiny of the nation to which we all belong.

Word that a major steamship line intends
to build a sizable new hotel on Tahiti is just
.a little bit saddening, in a way. We still like
to think of Tahiti and other storied places
of primitive man as being not too harshly
touched with so-called civilization. Appar
ently it isn't going to be long until we can
go 2,000 miles into the jungles of Brazil and
complain that the elevator service is slow
and the bellhop didn't get a good shine on our
Sunday shoes. j -
Bridges Trial End
With something like relief we read that
the government has given up its 10-year-long
effort to deport Harry Bridges. For the
fourth time this summer, the U. S. lost its
attempt at court to deprive the wily Austral
ian of his U. S. citizenship on grounds that
he perjured himself when he swore he wasn't
a communist. These trials have cost the tax
payers a lot of money and we .trust there will
be nd more need for-them so Ion as Bridges
behaves himself. Whatever his shortcomings,
the fact that the San Francisco waterfront
has been operating without the blatant rack
eteering of the New York waterfront remains
in his favor. The government "can now turn
its attention to taking the Eastern long
shoremen out of the hands of gangsters.
Editorial Comment
ATTRACTIVE NUISANCES
The Izaak Walton League is on solid ground
in demanding that Congress appropriate money
to insure adequate facilities at the new lakes
the government creates when it builds dams.
Customarily the government has provided money
to replace the old forest camps and such that
were flooded out But that's not enough.
County Parks Superintendent Gene Renard
speaks of the Lookout Point and Detroit reser
voirs as "attractive nuisances." They're mighty
attractive to picnickers, boaters, fishermen and
others. They're also an infernal nuisance unless
sufficient sanitary, docking and picnic, facilities
are there.
vLands washed by these new reservoirs, are,
in most cases, public lands, belonging to every
body. People are going to use them' more and
more as more time for recreation becomes avail
able and as more people swarm to the North
west to live. It's by no means enough to replace
only that which has been destroyed.

Official Paper Confirms Twa British Traitors
Serving as Advisors to Top Soviet Agencies
- By STEWART ALSOP " He is no doubt highly regarded "Delegation members should

" some months ago. - i ,
An American lady who had
" known the British traitor, Donald
Maclean," before he went over to
the Soviets was having supper in
the restaurant during the inter
mission of the opera. .She glanced
across the crowded restaurant -!
and suddenly her eyes met Mac
lean's.. They looked at each oth
er for a long moment and then
the lady turned to her escort, to
draw his attention. She looked
back again . almost immediately
' but Maclean or was it his ghost?
.had magically disappeared.
The episode is worth recalling
if only because it was .the first
Indication of what has now been
confirmed as a solid, and signi
ficant, fact. - The recent British
- White Paper on the case of Mac
lean and his fellow traitor, Guy
Burgess, is undoubtedly based on
hard intelligence. It has confirm-
ed fflat Maclean and Burgess are
indeed living in or near Mos
cow. , .
, At the time of the incident at
the opera, it was only suspected
that this was so. It was also only
suspected that the two men were
' playing some sort of role in the
making of Soviet policy. Now this
too has been confirmed, also by
the White Paper, which states un
equivocally that both men have
been serving since their defection
as "advisers to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and other Soviet
. agencies."

tened to with respect.
. Let us, therefore, 'imagine that
Maclean is addressing a gather
ing of influential Soviet policy
makers. Might he not speak along
somewhat the following lines? .
"Comrades, I submit that in the ,
past our leadership has gravely
underestimated the effect the
bourgeois mentality ef trivialities
and superficial appearances. Per
mit me to cite twa examples. -
"First, I propose that our Am
bassador in Great Britain should
develop a seemingly overpower
; ing passion for roses. Such is the
emotional attachment' of vast -numbers
ef the British bourgeoi
sie ) and lumpea proletariat for
these flowers that the Ambassa
dor's rose will, I assure you.
greatly stimulate the existing im
pulse ia Britain to abandon the
costly rearmament program.
. '."Second, l propose that a press
campaign strongly praising corn
be initiated here. In the United
States, especially in the key Mid
dle Western area, cfirn elicits
much the same emotional re
sponse as do roses in Britain.
There are numerous songs in
praise of corn, widely sung in
America, comparing its height,
for example, to . that of an ele
phant's eye.
"As soon as it an be arranged,
a delegation should be sent to
America ostensibly to learn the.
American method of growing
corn. For the benefit of the Am
erican press photographers, mem
bers the delegation should fre
oueaUy pose retarding corn with
evident admiration and even on
occasion embracing a particular
ly vigorous stark.

Walla Walla in 1855 it was the
Nex Perce, led by Lawyer, who
swung the tide to accept the
conditions offered by Stevens.
Hsines intimates that the .pros
pect of a house and salary of
$500 a year from the govern
ment may have tempted Law
jer to accept the terms.
In the succeeding interval
the tribe became divided over
religion. There were the Pres
byterian Christians in Idaho and
the Dreamers, a culJU with a
mixed ritual based on a primi
tive mythology. A division de
veloped between the treaty and
the non-treaty Indians. Whites
kept pushing into Indian lands
to hunt for gold or to graze
stock. The government tried to
get the Nez Perce to cede more
of their lands. Some did; oth
ers did not, but the whites
claimed the outlying bands such
as that of Joseph in the Wallo
wa country were bound by the
treaty agreement. This resulted
in orders from Gen. O. O. How
ard for Joseph and his band to
move onto the reservation in
Idaho. When they were comply
ing with this order young reb
els of the band killed a few
whites, and the war was on.
This wsr has been greatly
overplayed, especially as to
Chief Joseph's leadership.- He
was not a war chief. Tribal stra
tegy was decided in council.
The long retreat up the Lolo
trail to the buffalo country was
to get away from Gen. How
ard. The Indians did fend off
the U. S. troops in a sequence
of battles but finally were for
ced to surrender in northern
Montana just short of their goal
in Canada. The subsequent
treatment of the tribe, shipping
them about from place to place
and finally locating the Joseph
band on the Colville reserva
tion" is a sorry chapter in white
dealings with the Indians. ,
Haines writes in clear, read
able style, and retains the his
torian's perspective even though
he cannot conceal his own feel
ing of resentment at the suffer
ings of the Nez Perce. The book
gives the fullest account of the
history of the tribe. As such it
merits a permanent place on
the" bookshelf of Northwest history.
