It is like this: After the last war, orders were issued for modernizing the naval uniform. However, the order specified that the old style could be used until the uniform was worn out. What happened was that the old style "never wore out" The sailors preferred buttons to the zip per, the, laced gusset at the back to the web belt, and the "broad-fall front" that had been in vogue since the slays of John Paul Jones. So, savs the New York Times Citing Admiral ArleifcTi Burke afw$ority, an order will be issued in July, to restore the pre-1948 styles. .The men with" the gold lace were well in tentioned. They thought the chaps with an chors tattoed on their arms were tired of the styles In vogue with little change from the days of sail ; They did leave bell-bottomed trousers for the quick rollup so important to a jailor. But the men themselves disdained the style revision, It was found that some of them were taking sew outfits to private tailors and getting them done over, restoring that front long" characteristic, of the naval uniform. Eventually the high command capitulated. If the men dont like the new styles, then it's back to the old After all, the tailors have as much right to be style -conscious as the WAVES who always felt they were ahead of the WACS in the cut of their uniforms.

Lamar Caudle, for mer counsel for the internal revenue service, and Matthew J. Connelly, appointments sec retary for Truman, were found guilty by a federal Jury in St Louis. The charges grew out of the efforts of a St Louis attorney to obtain a "fix" for his client He purchased oil royalties for the two federal officials. How ever, Caudle testified he rejected the tender to him and Connelly says he paid for his roy slty without knowing the attorney had shared part of the cost. Caudle was previously inter rogated at length by a congressional commit tee where he seemed to be naive, or stupid, rather than venal. It is difficult to believe that either he or Connelly knowingly accepted bribes for influ encing a tax case, in spite of the proven fact that corruption had become rife in the inter nal revenue bureau, during the Truman regime. efnc IN If. as recommended by Chancellor Rich ards of the state system of higher educstion, the words "of Education" are dropped from the titles of the colleges at La Grande and Ashland, the Monmouth Institution will be smart to retain the name Oregon College of Education. It will stand out as THE teacher training institution in the state, as it has been for the longest period. It can continue to of fer lower division work permitting transfer to other institutions for the last two years of college; but by putting emphasis on teacher training it will not only add to its distinction but will serve best the people of the state. It looks as though we shall need teachers for a long time in the future. As predicted, no action for statehood for Hawaii will occur at this session of the Con gress. The House interior committee voted down a motion to report, the bill out favor ably, 14 to 11. Hawaii Is caught between op . position based on its multiracial population and fear it would return Republicans to the Senate. Alaska, normally Democratic, lacks friends among Republicans. So both remain in the status of territories. -- Caller wants to know who's responsible for getting Thursday's TV-radio programs in Wednesday's Statesman.

Editorial Comment ARCHAIC VIEW Or INCOME TAXES Coleman Andrews, the former commissioner of interna) revenue In the U. S. Treasury Department, has been arguing la magazine articles that the federal income tax ought to be abolished. One of his points against tbt income tax is that it it unstable. Since the income tax It based on Income, tayt Andrews, it it a low producer of revenue In tlack timea and a high producer in good times. This, he says, means that rates theoretically should be raited in poor timet when people are least able to pay and lowered when people are most able to pay. This is an archaic view of taxation. The fact that income tax revenues vary with income is one of the principal advantages of this tax. The federal Income tax has a considerable "built-in" stabilizing effect on the economy. As Mr. Andrews says, when income falls off. the tax falls off. thus reducing the effect of the income decline on private purchasing power. When incomes rise during a boom period, taxes rise, thus curbing in flationary influences. Mr. Andrews apparently would stabilize tax revenues at the expense of unstabilizing the economy, Exacting a constant amount of revenue In good times and bad would maka depressions that much deeper and booms that much higher. The "unstable'' federal tax system is one of the country's biggest assets in maintaining stable economic conditions. Des Moines Register).

Word hat already gone out, for example, that the San Francisco convention will be limited to three days, instead of the traditional four or five. The whole conven tion hat been planned in advance in remarkable detail, and the proceedings are all tailored to lead up to the dramatic climax of the President'i acceptance speech. The whole campaign thereafter will be built wholly around the President. The highlights of the campaign are to be a small num ber of major Presidential radio and television broadcasts, prob ably tix.

Whether thit will happen again in the new circum stances remains to be seen. But the planners hope that the Presi dent will fly to key points, es pecially Chicago and New York, for at least two or three of his broadcasts.

Obviously, the heart and soul of thit new kind of campaign it the candidacy of Dwight D. Eisen hower.

But thoae who should know those who were right about the Presi dent's intentions last time ft serenely confident that nothing of the sort will happen.

The bill which the committee seemed to favor, according to Celler, was a simple declaration by Congress to the effect that the duty to raise the question of the inability of a President rested upon the. vice president. It would be the responsibility of the vice president to resolve the question as to whether or not the Presi dent's inability was of such a character as to require the vice president to assume -the duties of the office. By putting the burden on the vice president the doctrine of separation of powers would be preserved. If a controversy arose as to an assumption of the presi dential office by the vice presi- ura, ui wC iku. ; - courts.

Affairs of state are of such importance that there should be no considerable hiatus in their consideration by officials properly qualified. A congres sional resolution putting the duty on the vice president would re lieve him of the onus of being a self-starter.
