Vetoes Invasion of Power
The Statesman commend President Eisen
hower for his veto of the two billion dollar
military construction bill. Ai passed, the bill
tied strings to the Defense department on
the development of the Taloi guided missile
which the Navy has been working on. Ac
cording to the language of the bill the appro
priation relating to the Air Force's guided
missile program would not become effective
"until" the secretary of defense ahall have
come into agreement with the Armed Serv
ices committees of the Senate and House"
with respect to the use of the Taloi missiles.
President Eisenhower returned the bill with
out his signature, citing this provision as a
violation of the fundamental principle of
aeparation of powers.
As we have pointed out before, commit
tees of the Congress (and of our State Legis
lature) have been encroaching on adminis
trative power by tying such strings to bills.
This time the string was apparent in the
very language of the bill. At other times '
there may be a aide letter. Thus Bonneville
Power Administration scrapped its extension
of a transmission line to Klamath . Falls on
the basis of a letter from a House or Senate
subcommittee, In Oregon, the emergency
board persists in exercising unconstitutional
powers with respect to spending of appro
priated funds. i
We are glad President Eisenhower rejected
this bill, and wish state administrative offi
cials would resist similar legislative encroach
ments. The President's veto accomplished re
sults, for the bill is being redrafted promptly
without the, offending provision. The legisla
tive body can write laws, but its duty and its
responsibility end when the law is passed.
State Board of Agriculture
The farmers are -busy harvesting their
crops. Congress has disposed of farm legis
lation. The weather Is hot. and it seems quite
an inappropriate time to discuss Marshall
Dana's proposal to abolish the State Board
of Agriculture or else 'give it more powers
such as to designate the director of agricul
ture. (In . weather like this the board itself
would probably favor the former step.)
At its origin in 1S31 the State Board of
Agriculture was made advisory In character.
Creation of the department by consolidating
several previously Independent agencies was
one of the reforms of the Julius Meier ad
ministration. Complaint was heard from the
first that the board, representing various seg
ments of agriculture, lacked power. About the
only real authority given it was when admin
istration of the Jrfilk Price Control Act was
wished onto it, and a public member (Dana)
appointed. When milk price-control was re
pealed this lone power was terminated.
We believe the department is getting along
very well a Jt Is. It is primarily a regulatory
body 'and' so lends itself well to single ad
ministrative type ef organization. It probably
would function all right if the board made
the appointment rather than the governor,
but not any better. The board fills a usetul
purpose as an advisory body, though it could
- be abolished without serious damage to the
functioning of the department.
President Eisenhower has called on Repub
lican leaders in Congress to make a "last
ditch" effort to revive the school aid bill. The
- call comes too late; the last ditch has been
flooded out.

they are Just facing practicality, reality or
whatever it is that compels us to take off the
rose-colored glasses when looking into the
crystal ball. ,
The Ludington (Mason County) Veterans'
Council is planning a six-sided granite memo
rial column. One side will have an inscrip
tion. Each of four other aides will have en
graved the names of Mason County veterans
who died in major hostilities one side for
i each of the World Wars, one for the Spanish
American conflict and one for the Korean
"police action." The sixth? Chairman Robert
Christiansen says, 'This is a permanent thing
and we must be prepared for the future."
We hope the Ludington memorial's sixth
side stays blank for a long time. We hope,
: also, that there is never any need for a sev
: enth side, or sn eighth, or ninth. Permanency
in the realm of human relations is an eter
nally long time. But if the stark bareness of
' that sixth side constitutes a permanent re
' minder of what can happen it will serve a
r real purpose, even though it seems to carry
the Scout motto of "Be Prepared" almost to
the point of ghoulishness.'
We'll be glad when conditions in Europe
settle down so American soldiers can come
home and stay home. Considerable friction
arises between troops and the populace where
they are stationed. Discipline can't be main
tained strictly off the bases and individuals
or .groups of soldiers get into trouble, some
times very serious trouble. Jealousies arise
when the Americans win favors of resident
girls, and clashes with local swains occur. In
Germany, the Army has imposed a curfew
in an effort to curb "unfortunate incidents"
involving soldiers and Cermans (which have
included killings and rape). The officers
should exert themselves to the utmost to pre
serve order and good relations, and the men
themselves should realize they are American
ambassadors. Even so, It will be a hapDy day
all around when it becomes safe to pull serv
icemen out of these foreign stations.
Matyas Rakosi, Red boss of Hungary, has
resigned as first secretary of the Communist
Party. He gave age and poor health as his
reason, but his probable ailment is falling
out of favor. The wheel in Hungary has done
another turn. Under Malenkov, Premier Nagy
was top man, Ratysi down. Malenkov out.
Nagy followed. Now Rakosi has been dropped
down the chute, perhaps a sacrifice, as was
Molotov, to Marshal Tito's conditions for re
union with Moscow. A great deal of reshuf
fling is in progress through the Communist
world. More heads may be looped off in the
scramble for power, and eventually the "cult
of personality" may get another turn as some
new dictator gathers and holds the reins of
power.
The Washington clothier who circularized
congressmen and urged them to stock up
with lightweight .clothing for attending the
' GOP convention because San Francisco in
August is "a hot and humid city" certainly
drew the horse laugh from California's Native
Sons. For San Francisco in August is neither
hot nor humid. The Pacific Ocean acts as the
air conditioner, laving over the city chilly
summer fogs, which city dwellers often seek
escape from. The clothier must have been
stuck with a Palm Beach surplus for which
Congress has provided no price support.
The Harvey Company has announced com
pletion of financial arrangements to assure
construction of a huge aluminum plant at The

President Lawrence Harvey to renew his in

be seen. There are still some TV sets, pur

Lillie Madse'n, Statesman farm editor, accompanied I
load of 10 sheep to Portland market this week. But when she
and her husband, Harold Larsen. arrived there, they 'found
three sheep missing from the trailer. They sought the sheep '
on the way home, but couldn't find them. When they didn't
come home wagging their tails behind them Harold set out
to search again. He finally found two near a grain field near
Mt. Angel. And the next day he found the other one, near
the same place. Seems the sheep had slipped through a jiole
in the maving trailer. Moved by both Biblical and current
market quotations, Harold rejoiced a little when he found
the last lost sheep ...

Wbea the Salem Lions Club went ta the dogs 20 years
ago, it did a good job. From a doggone small beginning the
club's annual dag show has grows so fait that the ZOtb annual
show at the State Fairgrounds Sunday will be the second
largest in the Pacific Northwest this year. Dog fancier the
nation aver recogalie the Salem show as one of the finest.
"Purpose of these shows," says Harry Willrtt, guide-dog ef the
shows since their beginning, "is to improve the breeds of dogs.
If these shows suddenly were ta be eliminated. Inside ef 21
years yau'd have nothing but mongrels." A nasty thought for
letter carriers, anyway ...
Although the winning entries get nothing but trophies,
ribbons and prestige, the judges make pretty good money.
One of the judges at the Sunday show here, Jerome Halle of
Cleveland, will receive a $600 fee. Several other judges will
get $500 each. But because these judges will work a similar
show in Portland on Saturday, half their fees will be paid by
the Portland group. For Halle, a department store owner,
judging dog shows is a profitable hobby. But it's a full time
deal with another judge, Mrs. W. C. Edmiston of Ralston, Neb.
Selwyn Harris of New York is one of the nation's top dog .
show judges and makes a good living at it . . .

Ridgley Miller, Marion County veterans
service officer, was silting la his courthouse
office the atber day minding his awa busi-
itical brawl into which Hells
Canyon his been precipitated.
Should government build a
high dam, or should private
power' construct three lower
dams in the same stretch of
canyon? The answer calls for a
comprehensive study in hydro
graphy, which probably has
been completed.
The ruth dam has marked
advantages over multiple con
struction as we are told by school
boy geometry. The same juvenile
authority says that the hitch dam
would cost much more than all
thnee lower dams. Is the super
iority in potential service worth
the cost?
Congress has the responsi
bility of derision, but must
weigh carefully between com
petent engineers who, for some
reason, differ in their appraisal
of long range values.
When one plan is adopted, tha
other scheme is dead for keeps.

vely few fishermen and
campers who wanted to pene
trate the wilderness. Now "mul
tiple use" has hit the forests
with a bang. Over 76 per rent of
the stand of old growth timber
is now under federal administra
tion, chiefly in the national for
ests. With the reduction in priv
ately owned timber the demand
for timber from federal forests
increases. This, calls for selling
plans and conditions, for notices
of sale and contracts and check-
ing on contractor performance.
Access roads are a necessity
since today's log transportation
from the woods is by motor
truck. Appropriated funds are
not sufficient so sales contracts
are arranged in which the suc
cessful bidder constructs the
roads. These are built to good
specifications 18 inches of
crushed rock on a grade laid
with adequate drainage. The
Willamette district has a thou
sand miles of roads and about a
hundred more are added each
year.
The road system is the key to
successful forest management.
Not only docs the timber crop
come out over the roads, but
after that they provide access
for replanting, for fire suppres
sion and of course for extensions
for additional cuttings. Road sys
prime importance, both for eCon
tent planning is therefore of
omy of the timber haul and for
future management uses.
Another use whose dimensions
are growing is recreation. At all
the camp spots we saw campers
and picnickers, sometimes in
considerable numbers. On week-!
ends and holidays people swarm '
to these forest recesses by j
stream or lakeshore to "get
away from it all." In this, con- j
flicts over resource use arise,
the latest being the one over
diversion of waters of the Cppcr
McKenzie for power generation
by the Eugene Water and Elec
tric Board. We stopped again at.
Clear Lake and at the falls in
the McKenzie just below Saha
lie and Koosah and rejoiced
that the people of Euffene iiatt
. voted down the bond issue (or
the power project. One has only
lo visit Sahalip Kails to join in
the prayer that they will never
be molested. Here the consider
able flow of the I'pper McKenzie
- seems to leap over the rock rim
to fall in a tumult of spray and
. noise into the pool below.
A proposed redrawing of the
line of the Three Sisters Wilder
ness area has also provoked con
troversy. A hearing on this has
been held and the decision rests
with the Department of Agricul
ture. Supervisor Aufderheide has set
up a special project for a study
of land use. Mapping now is be
ing done in the section from Fish
Lake past Clear Lake and down
to the turn in the river at Bel
knap Sprinps. The bureau, of
public roads is building a new
highway between the Santiam
Highway and the McKenzie right
along this route, so planning for
the increased use by recreation
ists is timely; In general the
plana call for leaving forest cor
ridors as screens along the high
ways, to' open' up scenic vistas
and to establish a sufficient
number of picnic and camping
spots for public convenience. The
big handicap here is lack of
funds, for they come only
through congressional appropri
ation. Numerous bills have been
offered to provide more money.
Sen. Neuberger has one to au
thorize a study of the suhiect.
The forest service itself plans
to make such a study following
somewhat the pattern of the Na-
tional Parks service which came
up with its "Mission 66" pro
gram. One thing I want to report and
that is, the awareness of the for
est service to the importance of
reforestation. We saw many cut
over tracts where the new
growth is evident in ample vol-
ume. The great problem is how
to renew the stands on soulh
slopes. Experimentation indi
cates that soil temperature is an
important determining factor.
When temperatures get to 120
and above, the mortality among
seedlings is heavy. We saw some
experimental plats in the II. J.
Andrews experimental forest in
the McKenzie district where tem
peratures and soil cover types
are under study the cooler the
cover the belter chance the seed
lings have for survival. Incident-,
ally foresters over Western Ore
gon are happy this year because
there is a fine crop of cones on
the conifers. This will permit ai
big harvest of seeds for future'
pointings.
In this same experimental for
est studies are being made on
stream runoff both as lo quantity
and siltation where foresUacut
tings are niade. The harvest pat
tern in the national forest now
is by staggered settings or patch
es. This system has many ad
vantages, helping to confine tires
and giving some hrnefil from
natural reforestation, also help
ing to conserve moisture for
slower runoff. All snags are
felled under the cutting contracts
and slashings are burned to re
duce fire damage. Receding or
replanting is done then,
