One Paper Resumes; Another Suspends ,- Last week the great paper "La Prensa resumed publication under the direction of Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz, the edition being the largest in its history. There was a lapse of 1,833 days from the time Dr. Gainza Paz was deprived of control of the paper by President Peron, dictator of Argentina. Its restoration as i free newspaper is a world victory for press freedom. At the same time "La Prensa was re fuming independent publication, "El Espec tador," a newspaper published in Bogota, Colombia, announced it was suspending pub lication. The reason: difficulties with govern ment censors. Last August another news paper in Bogota, "El Tiempo" suspended publication because its editor refused to comply with an order by the government censor. , , ! 'Colombia offers one of the worst examples of dictatorship in the western hemisphere. Not only is press freedom denied, but re ligious and political .liberty, also. Foes of the ruling party are harried throughout the land and in some places suffer violence at the hands of partisans. It looks as though ' the Peron treatment is badly needed there. Architectural Supervision Son. Lowell Steen of Umatilla County is quoted as favoring an architectural depart ment in the State Department of Education. His reason was that he had heard of archi tects who designed sehnolhouses to take up the bonding capacity of the district regard less ?f the actual needs or of the Utility of the building. The fact is that the State Department of Education now has a division which passes on all plans for schoolhouse construction for public elementary and secondary , schools. This applies, to districts of all classes. This division does suggest economies in construc tion, and makes sure that all designs comply with state requirements. So it would seem the matter is pretty well taken care of. There may be some architects who over load their projects but it would not be fair to indict a whole profession. The fact is that architects are exceedingly generous with their time and talent. Few of them attain riches. More of them are apt to be artists than businessmen. In public work architectural services often are not adequately compensated,. One Oregon county built a courthouse not long ago and ' after it was finished the officials found some serious faults which were attributed to the architects. The local paper reported, how evervthat their fee was only 5 per cent. This isn't enoueh. On such a narrow allowance the temntation would be to skimo some of the work. We do jiot assert that was the case, but that the conntv was getting its professional work too cheap. . Then it's agreed we go on record as feeling that a mere $600 tax exemption for a wife is an insult to American womanhood! . . 1 it Can Lobby Wins We wish President Eisenhower would sur prise folks and veto the bill to free independ ent producers of natural gas from federal regulation. We do not expect him to, nor do the Washington reporter. The Federal Power Commission doesn't want the job, and some administration committees favored dropping it On matters like this the President seems disposed to go along with his advisers, so he probably will sign the bill as he also did the bill giving to states control of resources in offshore lands to traditional limits. ' Neither political party can claim any glory out of this retreat from regulation. The Dem ocratic machine hended bv Speaker Ravburn and Majority Leader Johnson rammed the bill through both houses. The Senate bill wasn't changed a particle from the House bill because of the fear that the House would refuse to concur in any amendment, and might even reverse its former judgment. The ote in the Senate was: for the bill 31 Re publicans, 22 Democrats; against, 14 Repub licans, 24 Democrats. - The bill, is a big boon to the oil and gas companies who furnish natural gas to the pipelines that thread the country. True gas has to compete witft fuel oil, but the big concerns can match the price increase for one with an increase for the other and win two ways. Regulation now can be only par tially effective. Probably the Norwefian foreien minister will not claim he walked to the brink of war. but at least Norway didn't hesitate to assert its riphts to control of its territorial waters. Invading Russian fishing boats were seized, and their owners fined. Before the boats could be released the Russian embassy put un the money for the fine.

Editorial Comment WHITE GOLD Wintertime visitors to lands where snow falls infrequently and lingers briefly as in southern England or the American South can view the whiteness once again through the eyes of child hood. Like all the treasures of this world, even gold, snow loses its attractiveness mainly because of the Midas touch that produces too much of it. . But in lands whore it is here today and gone tomorrow even adults share the children's urgent delight in it. The snowman must be sculptured right now, for who knows what an after-lunch sun may accomplish? The snow battle must be joined at this instant before the ammunition runs out in rivulets down the garden path. The photograph must be clicked before the gate post doffs its crazy cap and while gaunt branches still flaunt those silvery, ephemeral garlands. . In colder otherwheres snow may come and snow may go&and preferably the latter. But not in the nearly always green and gray lands where people suppose they have "seasons" Just because leaves fall at one time of year and bud at another, while some months are lush as a Constable paint ing and others art chiefly an early cold darkness in the afternoon. In these lands snow is' silent song. It is poetry with wings. It Is a royal ermine to walk on over suddenly strange pastures and uncharted meadows. It is another world, plus the assurance of a free return trip to familiar reality in a convenient matter of hours. With no Midas to spoil it, the snow remains, never long on the ground, but for always in the memory, a treasure like the gay moments that arrive so gently with it and some how outlast the most determined thaw.

Oregon Supreme Court Wednes day upheld a- verdict for the de fendant in a McMinnville area personal injury suit brought by Mrs. Christy Brindle against Me Cormick Lumber and Manufactur ing Corp. and Frederick Bailer. The accident happened June 2, 1952, near McMinnville. Mrs. Brindle claimed the defen dant's log truck, after passing, cut in so closely that Mr. Brindle was forced to veer to avoid a collision and, she was thrown about in the car and injured. Defendants claimed the log truck was not in- i volved. i Mrs. Brindle, on appeal, com plained of the court s failure to instruct .regarding right-of-way but the court says the only violation of right-of-way of which defendants could have been guilty under the evidence was the act of cutting in and an instruction based upon the statute pertaining to the require ments of passing was all thaLwa's required. No F.rr.r' The Supreme Court said it found no error in the lower court's rul ings in the case. In another case, a decree of a trial court which upheld Curry County's title to certain timber as a result of tax foreclosure was reversed and the plaintiff was de clared the owner. The case, H. W. Crook, plaintiff appellant, vs. Curry County, defendant-respondent, came before the High Court from Curry County. Title Suit A suit to quiet title in certain areas formerly used as a logging railroad right-of-way and running through the plaintiff's property, was reversed by the High Court and remanded to the Circuit Court of Marion County with instructions to enter a decree holding that defendants art owners of the property. This action-was brought by Charles Bouche and wife against Giles Wagner and wife. The Su preme Court found that the con veyance to the lumber company was not such as to indicate an easement but was such as could convey a fee and concluded that the Intention of the parties.

Long Illness Takes Life of C. A. Johnson 4 By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Do you remember back when ' the 30th Century was to mean all . mines to au men, ana peupie talked as though civilization had finally turned the corner into an age of light?

I . .. . . An important international war had not occurred for nearly a century, and those who did not understand-what was happening in . . Europe thought that perhaps the t, day of the sword was ended. ' Instead of an Age of Light, the century has become known as the Bloody 20th. The greatest scientific achievement has been to create a means of world suicide. Wars have been fought which made all previ ous ones look like skirmishes. In the so-called Age of Light, take a glance at one day's news. One of the latest quarrels in the United States is over an alleged government failure to really go all out in production of new mass-destruction weapons. In many parts of Europe people are crusading against payment of taxes for orderly government. Whistles, songs, and slamming desk tops drown out debate in the French parliament. a ' "' In a world where food surpluses create a problem on the one hand, Italian unemployed riot in eight towns for bread. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in the United States of America, students riot because they refuse to sit in the halls of learning with a person they consider inferior. In Madrid students riot over the plan of a dictator to restore ' a monarchy when he Is gone. In Algeria, moderate leaders, saying they had lost faith in France's ability to work out politi cal problems, announced they would join the immoderates. In Israel, some people talked of fighting the Arab states before the latter could become overpowerful with Russian arms. The Arabs promised a holy war to regain Palestine territory. The Western powers conferred. In Indonesia a rebellion of years' standing kept government troops 'busy.
