Search planes have ob served the bodies of two persons and the skeleton of the plane which carried the mis sionaries into the region inhabited by the very primitive Auca Indians. Men waving white flags were seen in the area Thursday. Fears are aroused that the party was mur dered by the tribesmen who resented any invasion of their territories. It may be that these were the first whites the Indians had ever seen. Despite the very extensive explorations in almost all parts of the earth, there remain regions still well outside the pjle of civiliza tion, and peoples who still rate as savage. The interior of New Guinea is peopled by primitive tribes and parts of Central Africa likewise. In this hemisphere along the Cor dillera of South America, natives live the came lives as their ancestors, untouched by the white man's civilization. In Western Brazil Indians art definitely unfriendly to white penetration, and explorers and gov ernment agents must move with caution in those regions. The missionaries who appear to have sac rificed their lives, did so in their zeal to carry the gospel of salvation to a tribe probably quite indifferent to religion. It seems likely that the roll of Christian martyrs has now been lengthened. One may respect the spir it of sacrifice shown by the missionaries and at the same time question the wisdom of dropping from the sky among savages. An approach by land or by water would seem to be better, giving opportunity for contact by progressive stages until confidence is gained. The Christian admonition to "preach tha g ospeP does not imply obligation to for feit life by reckless adventure. Scandal in Tf xa Enough scandals have bfen uncovered in Texas to warrant voters there to "turn th rascals out." First there was the big fraud on sale of lands to the state for resale to vet erans. Through the chicanery of a high state official and the failure of the governor to .check proceedings of the land office the state got bilked out of a lot of money. Then there have been a series of failures of insurance companies as a result of the poor supervision of state regulatory bodies. Now the lmurance Comrikon has enlisted the aid of all the CT As m the state to exam ine the insurance companies and make sure thev are solvent. . The climax came with, the collapse of a U. S. Trust it Guaranty Co, of Waco, not an insurance comoany, but a, finance outfit that had several affiliates that were underwrit ers. When its affairs pot into court, the pre siding judge called it "the most amazing and fraudulent operation U has ever been my misfortune to Inch at or hear about." The head of the company later committed suicide, but that doesn't absolve the company man agers for their misdeeds. Maybe Texas suffers from the virus of getting rich too fast. So many have become rich almost overnight through oil strikes, others out of greed or envy mav have thought they could pile up fortunes-IrFother ways" equally fast. There were just too many Tex an who thought they could sreed up the process by fraud and thev have brought dis grace on themselves and discredit on their state. In most any other state we would ex pect political heads to roll as a result, and maybe they will even in Texas. Maybe Gov ernor Shivers is now performing according; to his name. y , .

There is no inkling that her heart has healed so quickly after the Townsend rupture; but at least the princess is going bout In society, and with a man this one, fortunately, a bachelor and a man with a title 129 years old. Maybe a match like this would suit the biddies over their teacups. Henry Ford II warns the public that they may be indulging In wishful thinking if they count on fast and fabulous profits from the purchase of Ford stock.

Which is the larg est family? Who's the state's most popular son? If you know the answer to any of these, you might contact Don Dill, of the Secretary of State s office, who is compiling a list of Oregon's "firsts." "big- gests," and "mosts."

Thursday FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover announced the case was solved, with eight men in custody. Six have been arrested on robbery charges; two others are in prison on other offenses and one of the alleged par ticipants is dead. The loot consisted of $1, 218.000 m cash and $1,557,000 in checks. (Brinks operates a money transfer service, so has large sums in its possession at fre quent intervals). ' The robbery was pulled when men, got through doors supposed to be locked into the inner office where money was held pending re-shipment They made a clean getaway. The Fpi devoted intense study to the case. At various times the mystery was reported on the edge of clearing, but not till Hoover's announcement' was anything positive given out. Presumably the FBI is sure of its proof, through confessions ot other evidence. How much of the loot may be recovered, if any, ia not known. Probably, very little. There is great satisfaction, however, to have the criminals apprehended, and again the FBI will receive merited commendation. of the states can, if they will carry their own school load I think we must recognize and meet instances of special need, j have yet to ratify the contract The states which are the most I which, according to the announce backward In education, measured nnt. also calls for improvements Kv rur raniii amarvtituF. or. in the v a c a t i o n and holiday in the South, and there the oer 1 clauses.
