So this time we arent dragging our feet in recognizing their special place in ' the scheme of things. Starting today it's National Business Women's Week.. Business, and Professional Women's Clubs will take particularly cognizance of the special week, at will others of leading women's organizations. As the Eugene Register-Guard points out, ever since the BPW was started In 1919 when Secretary of War Newton D. Baker Issued a call to coordinate the nation's womenpower, "the ladies have been plugging to elevate the standards for women in business and profes sional life." The BPW has played a major role in winning the recognition to which the distaff side is entitled, f, ' It may be a men's world, but there are a lot of women in what once were thought of as men's jobs.

A Communist Blind ' So-called American Communists apparent ly have agreed to give lip service to the bal lot boz Instead of force and violence, in their avowed purpose to turn the nation Into a to-, talitarian 'State. - - 1 Their phrasing is high-sounding: "We are American Communists, patriots. Our alleg iance is to' our own eountry, -the United States. In representing and advancing the fundamental welfare of the working class, we aim always to serve our country's true national interest" i - And through whose glasses do they look to determine "true national interest?" Mos cow's. To whose Ideology do they look for the twisting and turning line as their guide? Marx' and Lenin's. To whose Godlessness do they subscribe? The Kremlin's. "v v Their effort of ascendancy toward respect- ; ability and acceptance should fool no one. A dynamic democracy with its will toward class lessness and its recognition of the superiority of human dignity and rights remains and will remain the bulwark of the Free World. The eliminating of the words "force and violence" in the "American" Communist's creed for action is nothing more than a blind. The constant striving for a better life will go on within the. framework of our own Bill of Rights, not the Third Manifesto. ' As a guess, we'd say Vice President's Week in Oregon passed without material damage to either party. -- Returns From Maine Vote Indicate Morse Victory in Oregon, Correspondent Claims (editor's aoUt Tha area! li fe now a quantity la Oregon's sen atorial clactloa tola year la tha (fact, oa tha electorate of aeth anator parties, of Sen.

Since then,, both men "I Feel Fine" ,'.." It would take a hardened partisan, indeed, not to share today's thankfulness on the first anniversary of President Eisenhower's cor onary trouble. Not only has the President re covered from that startling attack in-Colorado a year ago, but he has also weathered the June 9 surgery for ileitis. Now, as of Sept. 12 at Jils campaign kickoff rally at Gettys burg, his own analysis is: "Ladies and gentle men, 1 feel fine." His appearance supports his words. ' '"' There is nothing certain as to the length of a man's life. We recall the campaign of 1940 when Wendell Willkie, was running against Franklin D. Roosevelt who was seek ing a third term. Willkie was a younger man, In fine physical trim. It seemed a point in his favor, that he could bring fresh vigor and longer life-prospect than his opponent. But Willkie died before Roosevelt Again in 1952 Bob Taft, who was younger than Dwight Els enhower, would seem to be the one to be fa vored for the presidential nomination on the score of health. But Taft died comparatively soon after Eisenhower took office. If there is a tendency to recurrence in cor onary attacks and ileitis, there is also quite some tendency-to fatality at the first on slaught, particularly in the former and long evity is unpredictable for anyone. None of us know when we may be stricken, Republican, Democrat or anv other partisan. The plain fact is President Eisenhower has so few points of vulnerability that his opponents must seize on the health issue, directly or in directly, to make much progress. We doubt even that is very effective. On this signal anniversary of his illness, we wish for President Eisenhower a long and comfortable life, whether in office br not, and we rejoice that a man who has served his country so long and well "feels fine." Kefauver and Al Serena .Congressman Ellsworth was not the only one to intercede for the McDonalds in their quest for patents to Al Serena mining claims. Though his secretary signed the letters, they were written at Kefauver's request. The sen ator who is candidate for Vice President, says his intercession was routine, which seems to be true. Likewise Cong. Ellsworth was en deavoring to aee that his constituents got ac tion on their case which had been held up for many months in the Interior department. We see no reason to smear either Kefauver or Ellsworth for their part in the grant of pat ents, and certainly not Douglas McKay who, though secretary, knew nothing of the case before the patents were issued. It is time this big giveaway balloon hoisted by Democratic hot air was punctured. Per hans the publication of the Kefauver letter will help do that The New Orleans reporter who wrote that hurricane "Flossy" came "rumbling" into the Gulf of Mexico must have been word-shy. Considering the connotation of "Flossy," we would expect him to have used the verb "flounced." have become extremely contro versial political figures Morse because he bolted the GOP and McKay because of his policies in serving as secretary of the In terior. If McKay should soundly defeat Morse, It would mark a sharp rerenal of the tread toward Democratic galas to which the election statistics bow point. As for Congressman Norblad, who represents Northwest Oregon including the Salem area, the election statistics indicate that despite the Maine returns he will be fairly easy winner against Jason Lee, his Democratic op ponent. Almost without exception, Nor blad has picked up a higher per centage of the total vote in his district than other Republicans running for Congress in the other districts of Oregon. For example, in the last election Norblad got (3 per cent of the vote cast In the first district, compared with 55.4 per cent received by Ells worth, 52.6 per cent tor Coon and 47.5 per cent by the defeated GOP candidate in Portland who lost out to Mrs. Green.

Probably the closest race In the state for Congress will be In eastern Oregon, where Rep. Coon Was re-elected in 19M by 52 1 per cent of the vote. The statistical trends indicate that be may lose to his repeat challenger, Al l'll man, or win by the skin of his teeth. It's a tossup. And unless there Is a reversal of the Maine trend by November, Rep. Edith Green figures to win aeain in Portland, where she was elected In 19M by 52.4 fer cent J t of the vote.

The highwajs and the accommodations for travelers are. less crowded, temperatures "a r lower, and vegetation is m o r e colorful). Of special interest to students of geography is the river arrange ment in this section of the con tinent. The Canadian Rockies form the rooftree of North Amer ica. Drainage from their western slopes, via the Columbia and the Eraser . systems, enters the Pa cific ocean. The eastern slope nourishes the headwaters of the Saskatchewan which flows across the three prairie provinces into Hudson's Bay, an arm of the North Atlantic. The northeast slopes feed the tributaries of the Peace and Athabaska rivers whose waters flow into Great Slave Lake and then through the Mackenzie into the Arctic ocean. The course of some of these streams is surprising. The Co lumbia river rises in Columbia lake, just north of latitude 50 de grees. It flows north, making a horseshoe bend around the Ca nadian Selkirks, thence flowing south through Arrow lakes and into the state of Washington. One of its principal tributaries, the Kootenay, rises well to the north of Columbia lake, behind a moun tain ridge. It flows south across an open valley floor within a very short distance from Columbia lake. In the 1880s a canal was dug across the flat in an attempt to promote navigation between the Columbia and the Kootenay. The flat is now called Canal Flats. The canal is still there, though where the road crosses it is filled save for a culvert to carry the small flow of water which still drains toward the lake. The Kootenay runs on south into Montana (where its spelling is changed to "Kootenai," then into Idaho at Bonners Ferry and north across the border to Koot enay lake, and from the lake into the Columbia near Nelson, B.C. These streams precipitate some controversy now between Canada and the United States. The U.S. would like to build a dam near Libby, Montana, which would back up the waters of the Koot enai Into Canada. Canada will not agree to this without adequate compensation, and meantime is studying a plan to divert the waters of the Upper Columbia into the Fraser river system which would .curtail the flow of the Columbia across the United States, reducing the power po tential for t his country. The United States Is quite unhappy over this possibility. The Canadian Rockies rank high among the scenic grandeurs of all nature. Their peaks rise to heights of 9 - 11.000 feet and higher, in sharp peaks or sheer ridges that appear at. times like the frozen crest of a wave. Gia- oera nang on tneir sheltered northern slopes, feeding water falls and streams. With great foresight Canada has embraced this section of the Rocky mountains into several national parks: Jasper, Banff, Yoho, Kootenay which are joined by British Columbia's Ham her provincial park. Not only is the scenery protected but wild life also, and here wild animals abound: bear, elk, deer, moose, mountain sheep and goats; The best counterpart .of the Canadian Rockies in the United States is at Glacier National park or in the Colorado Rockies. We came through Glacier on our re turn (via Calgary on highway 2). Rain and clouds obscured the view but here too the mountains and lakes capture the eye of the traveler the mountains have more coloring, reds and olives, than their northern cousins. ; The mountains in Alberta break off abruptly into the plains of the prairie provinces, a wide expanse devoted to grain growing and raising of livestock. Calgary is the principal city in the southern part of the province, though Ed- monton, the capital, 185 miles to the north Is larger. Both cities are sharing In the boom from oil discoveries In the province. We saw only two oil well derricks between Calgary and the border, but oil la there one mm and his mother got a cool $100,000 just for drilling rights to their 320 acres of land. , After leaving Glacier park on our return we made short de tour to view Hungry Horse dam on the south fork of the Flathead river east of KaliapelL Built by IT By Lichty electronic "brain' Figbyl . . . think up grievances! . .

North of Kingsgate on Highway 5 considerable heavy . construction is in progress, but Highway 2, used for the return, is in very good condition. Canada is doing extensive work in road building, particularly on its trans Canada route. It will be two years perhaps more before High way 95 reconstruction is com plete, but no one need wait for that, as the route gives little de lay or trouble now.

KING LONDON, Sept. 23 uD Sir An thony Eden is fighting for his po litical life In toe Sues Canal crisis And be is fighting with the bit terness of a man who feels he has already been doublecrossed once by Egyptian President Gamal Ab- del Nasser. This explains, in part, the some times seemingly wavering position of the British Prime Minister to ward the use of force in resolving the Sues dispute. The story goes back two years. Eden, then foreign secretary, negotiated the treaty with Nasser providing for withdrawal of Brit ish troops from the Sues Canal zone. The withdrawal was carried out against the opposition of a hard core of empire-minded Conservatives in Parliament known as the Sues Group, which cried this meant "surrender." Eden defended withdrawal with the assertion: o s a "It is our hope that it will now be possible to establish our rela tions with Egypt on a new basis of friendship and understanding. The government believe that this is also the intention of the Egypt ian government." One of the terms of the treaty was preservation of the 1881 Con stantinople Convention guarantee ing freedom of navigation through the Sues CanaL This was in July 1954. Two months ago, when Col. Nas ser seized control of the canal, Eden now prime minister i- ad mitted surprise and shock. Before the Suez Group could say "we told you so" he moved swiftly and de terminedly and put Britain on a virtual war footing through a royal proclamation. a o a The swift reaction caught the imagination of Britons tired of be ing kicked around. Even those who had criticized Eden for being a "ditherer" were impressed. The French, who blame Nasser for stirring up much of their own troubles in North Africa, heralded Eden and offered him support. They cheered Eden's cry that in ternational control of the Suez Ca nal was a matter of "life and death to us all." In the beginning, the British La- hr nirlv cavp the imnrruinn it was wholeheartedly behind the government s stand - but second thoughts began to occur. u.1, W-hinolnn mHo it Hoar it was against force, Eden found himself faced with a new situa tion. Hugh GaiUkell, leader of the Laborite opposition in the House of Commons, declared: "We think that Egypt has act ed wrongly and that Col. Nasser's dramatic actions are to be de plored and resisted but we do not think that the government is en titled to go to war, or to issue threats o( war, as Tory spokes men and the Tory press have been suggesting." Britain's eight - million - strong Trades Union Congress went on record with a declaration that force be used only with the con sent of the United Nations. Though the British seem divided and politically they are at the moment on how to deal with Nas sera step by him endangering jobs could unite them. The British and French private- ! ly admit being a little confused I about the United States. Many feel that any London or Paris sugges tions if they even hint of getting tough are undercut by Washing ton.

Sept 23 on The Soviet government is reported planning to establish a Yiddish language theater in Moscow to re place the one destroyed in Joseph Stalin a anti-Semitic purges-. The announcement came from the Communist, radio in Warsaw in a Yiddish-language broadcast several days ago. The station said a committee made up of several leading Soviet Jewish theatrical people who survived Stalin's drive had prepared, at the' request of the Soviet government, a memo randum on the new Moscow Yid dish theatre. The committee recommended, said the broadcast, that the new Moscow Yiddish theatre be housed in a building on Pushkin Street and that it be named for the fa mous Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem. It will begin perform ances in May 1957. The previous Moscow Yiddish theatre was shut down in 1949. Some of the leading figures of the theatrn were charged with serious crimes and liquidated. American Jewish leaders who visited the Soviet Union last sum mer said they found Soviet offi cials with whom they talked in different to Jewish culture. The reported re-establishment of the Yiddish theatre may be intended in part to answer such criticisms from abroad. Five Children Die in Fire PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23 Five children, the oldest five years of age. were killed in a fire short ly after midnight yesterday in a third floor apartment in North Philadelphia.

Reuther, vice-president of the AFL-CIO, said in a state ment today "we would like to hear unequivocating commitments of concrete government support for a shorter work week" from President Eisenhower, Vice Pres ident Nixon and eight other influ ential Republicans.

Kenya, Sept. 23 Princess Margaret, in a pale yel low taffeta dress with flared skirt, visited today with the veiled Mos lem women of Mombasa in the Aga Khan Diamond Jubilee Hall. It was a striking contrast be tween two worlds as the pretty 26- year-old princess stepped into the hall to meet the women who by religious custom hide their faces from men from the time they are girls. Margaret wore a matching "hair drier" hat, elbow-lern;th white gloves and accessories. The colorfully garbed women lifted their veils to receive the visiting British princess. No men were al lowed inside the hall. One Arab official's wife commented: "We are happy Queen Elizabeth has a sister and not a brother. If Margaret were a prince, she would not be allowed to visit us." The women presented Marg-ret with a silver tray and in a brief acceptance speech Margaret struck the keynote of her current tour of British territories in Easl Africa and the Indian Ocean.
