Attractive But Confusing Salem streets ind Salem stores never looked pretUer, and the Jingle of cish regis ters in many instances has seldom been mer rier. But on this page today is a "Safety Valve" letter which seems to make a point well worth bearing in mind. It pertains to street lighting and its conflict with traffic lights. The garlands of fir boughs across our thor oughfares lend a most pleasing effect to the city and the lights at night are most pleas-, ing. but it is true that at some intersections they are very confusing. The traffic lights ara somewhat brighter, -but not enough to prevent conflict and we've noted many a driver whosh through red lights entirely unawara of his danger or the danger to others. '.. Myriads of signs have long befuddled driv-, ers, particularly drivers unfamiliar with the areas they traverse and therefore seeking di rections. There has seemed no complete an swer to that problem. But tha problem of con flicting lights is potentially even more serious. We do not mean to belittle the time, effort and expense entailed in making Salem a very attractive city at this Yuletide season. But we would suggest a new lighting arrangement be devised before another December rolls around. -y Silliness in New Hampshire We won't presume" to speak for Oregon of ficialdom, or the Oregon Game Commission in particular, but wa doubt very much there would be any such row in the Beaver State as has resulted from President Eisenhower's an gling excursion to New Hampshire two years ago. - i... ... It seems that New Hampshire's governor. Lane Dwinell. had to put real pressure on Game Director Carpenter to get him to issue the President a license without signing per sonally for it and without being charged f 19 a day. The issue came out again this week in a New Hampshire budget meeting at which the governor told Carpenter he was "sick and tired of the continued lack of cooperation of your department" WelL there are two sides, of course. Car penter can well claim the President was plen- , .'.'. ty able to pay ami that no discrimination '.' j-gign j Edgar Hoover sees some ju should be shown.

Alaska's two "senators" and one 'repre sentative," voteless and aeatless in Congress, are en route to Seattle and eventually Wash ington, D. C.t this week chasing the rsinbow which Oregon caught 98 years ago next Val entines Day American statehood. ' It's been a long and hard chase. Ever since 1918, various statehood bills have been in troduced but only in the last decade -has the statehood drive seemed to have any real chance of success. Hopes now are high, for several reasons. First, President Eisenhower has been quoted by Secretary of the Interior Seaton . as willing to sign a statehood bill for Alaska (he already has snnounced he favored it for Hawaii) if one is passed by Congress. Second, both Alaska and Hawaii have voted Democrat now and it seems possible there would be a cessation of opposition to statehood from Southern solons who opposed it because they fi red the addition of four senators would destroy their power to pro tect the filibuster. Third, Alaskans already have drafted their potential statehood constitution, and last spring their overwhelming approval of it put at rest all arguments that maybe Alaska didn't really want statehood after all. There are still formidable obstacles in volving either Hawaii or Alaska or both. One of them is a report of Sen. Eastland of Mis sissippi, chairman of the senate internal se curity committee, that a recent investigation in Hawaii had turned up evidence of "a con spiracy to further Soviet purposes on those islands." There is opposition to Alaska state hood, too, from Seattle fishing and shipping interests. But the issues are narrowing and lessening. The three Alaska delegates, driving white automobiles inscribed "Alaska the 49th State?, will transit the country from Seattle to Washington via the state capitals of all the states which successfully used this same political strategem (minus the autos) in their , fights lor statehood Oregon, California, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan and Tennessee. In each case, A. Robert Smith of The States man's Washington, D. C, bureau points out, bills were passed admitting these states to the Union just a few months after their elected delegates were dispatched to the national, capital.'. Two-and-a-half times the size of the largest state (Texas), with a population approximat ing only tha most sparsely-settled. (Nevada), Alaska is similar in climate, topography, and resources to Scandinavia, which has a popu lation of 19.000.000. These and other statistics are set forth in a recent book by Ernest N. Gruening, terri torial governor from 1939 to 1952 and now one of the two "senators" en route esst. Congressional buttonholes will be full of such facts and figures in the next few months. Alaskans scent victory. .. ' " ' ' signature on the license. But we have an idea if the President want ed to fish in Oregon, there would be no great furore over presenting him with a permit as an honorarium. After all, what precedent would be set? There is only one President of the U. S. A., and well chip in. anytime to buy hira a fishing license, whoever he is, rather than see a silly stink stirred up like New Hampshire's. But we imagine the President would have been more than willing not only to purple up, but to sign his John Henry on the dotted line if the incident ever had got ten beyond bis third assistant secretary in tha first place. S:n. Jcscph K. Carson The death of State Sen. Joseph K. Carson kaves a considerable void in Oregon public Lfe and among stalwarts of the Democratic party. Looking far younger than his 63 years, it was only two years ago the senator ran a good race against the late Paul Patterson for 1 the governorship. Sen. Carson, whose term as a solon would have expired next month, was in service overseas in both World Wars, left a successful law practice in 1933 to serve cap ably for eight years as mayor of Portland, was on tha maritime commission from 1947, until its dissolution, and was state commander of the American Legion. He was well liked, well respected. His service will ba remem bered.. ,.. A,' Nehru says his talks with Ike are profit able to him. We're more interested in whether the talks 'are profitable to Ike and us. , their immediate control, to make the child a life meaningful." But to a far greater degree he regards it as due to "the thousands of mothers and fathers who have constructed a barrier of neglect and disinterest between themselves and their children.- Well put, and well worth pondering on for all of us! Editorial Comment Sound Money Policy Sound mohey Isn't just the business of the banker. Il l something that concerns all of us. As the current issue of the New England Utter of the First National Bank of Boston points out. -wise monetary restraint is the best urante of sound money and more stable growth. It would be a dis service to the nation to allow the money sup ply to expand for any extended period more rapidly than the eupply of goods available for purchase. Every curve of the inflationary spiral clips away a portion of the pay check. Insurance policy and pension. This is something- we may forget although the housewife should be reminded of it when she goes shopping. .....! .wi There has been a mounting threat of Inflation this year and one of the most important actions to hold the line haa been in the area operating a policy of monetary restraint. - This "tight money" policy was adopted princi pally because the demand for investment funds was getting too high in relation to the amount of savings. But when the money supply expands for an ex , tended period more rapidly than the supply of goods available for purchase there will result an out-of hand inflationary situation, from which the average eititen will suffer. " t The policy has been a sound and prudent one even though it has been criticized ia some quarters. Waterville (Maine) Sentinel "Keep em spending, is our slogan, gentlemen! . . .

" . ' Every time I came to an inter section, I was forced to stop and figure out which red and green light was the traffic light. May I suggest that before some native of Salem tries to cross, a green Xmas light, the path of a south-bound California driver proceeding on a green traffic light The result of which would be considerable vehicle damage, possible blood, guts and pieces of human bodies strewn around the Intersection you better remedy the situation.' I'm coming back soon, and us Republicans become confused in Oregon. , v ' EarlL. Neet 2424 W. 1st St. ' ; i Santa Ana, Calif. Mvjiiujw.aiiuiiiijiuajsisiaiiiiwiiiai!1.!
