pSailor'txe 'defeating the orders of the top
striper in the U. S. Navy.. 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. The
Navy, which trie to feed its men well, will
now accede to the sailors' preference in dress.

Ex-Officials Convicted ;
Conviction of two high officials in the Tru
man administration, on charges of conspiracy
in an income tax case can't help but come as
a shock to the public T. 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.

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.

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

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. The subject matter of
these tix broadcasts is already
being carefully canvassed, and

a non - whistlestop. television
campaign had been planned for
the President but in the last few
weeks before his sudden oper
ation, the President had begun
acting like a warhorse scenting
battle, and the campaign plans
were revised to allow for a num
ber of airborne forays to the
hustings. 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

withdraw, the whole campaign
would simply blow up In the face
of the Republican leadership. But
thoae who should know those
who were right about the Presi
dent's intentions last time ft

of the sort will happen. They are

that the President is still a can

confirm his candidacy within the
next few days.

but to "keep it on a high, non
partisan, non political level,"
which certainly is commendable.
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

are of such importance that there

self-starter. Granted that no sen

League signed four contracts with
Japanese groups for 8360,000 in
promotional and educational pro
grams to increase wheat consump
tion in Japan.
Signing the contracts with the
Japan Nutrition Association and
the Japanese Food Life Improve
ment Association is the result of
seven years of market studies by
Oregon growers, who have been
seeking ways of increasing sales
of Oregon wheat in the Orient. Thit
study began in 1949.
Mobile Kltchei
t'nder the projects, home econo
mists ' also probably Oregon
products! in mobile kitchens will
travel through Japan showing
housewives how to prepare bar
gain wheat meals to fit into their
present food habits. Training pro
grams will be set up for bakers
and extension workers, and educa
tional and publicity material on
wheat foods will be prepared in
the Oriental language and distri
buted. Additional projects amounting to
another $600,000 are under study,
according to Richard Baum, wheat
league secretary, who went to
Japan from Oregon to work out
the contracts.
U.S. Program
Funds for the project were pro
vided under contract to the league
by the L'SDA. The money cam
from Japanese purchases of sur
plus U.S. farm products under tht
trade development programs. Ja
panese currency was taken by the
U.S. for .the wheat and other com
modities, with a portion of t h t
money to be used for market de
velopment work in Japan.
Dairy products will also be in
for a series of promotion in Japan
.somewhat later, but the wheat
league is the only state association
in charge of a commodity program
there. All the other commodities
are represented by national associ
ations. The Oregon wheat league has
opened a control office in Tokyo to
