The Re port says: "How economic activity will move in the com ing months cannot conlidently be foreseen." How riyht , that is! That vague counsel matches the. best -twVfaced responses of the r . old Delphian oracle. However, it is about the ' only safe comment such an agency can make in times like the present. After all, the Coun-, . nl is a political creation and doesn't dare get , out too far on a limb. The country does stand ' ;on a slope: its war and postwar dynamism i may drive the economy to higher levels, or '-opposing forces may-put! "tt 'downhill!" "Bill " Stephenson, p.-edent of the First National Bank .of Portland, was likewise conservative in his business predictions to the Salem Chamber of Commej-ce forum luncheon Monday. ; The President's report goes to a joint con ( grcssional committee for review. We doubt, however, if the committee can come up with , any better prediction on the course of busi - ne.ss in 1937 or arrive at anv firm agreement on policies the government should pursue. The major concern now is over the threat of inflation. President Eisenhower called for private as well as government efforts to maintain a stable dollar. Non-government economists, however.-think the government is not doing all it should do to curb infla tionary forces. SDokesmen for the Commit tee on Economic Development, a private non political organization, criticizes the adminis tration's spending progr?m and tax ooltcies. Its president. Dr. Alfred C. Neal, formerly vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank . of Boston, says we can't control inflation Without controlling the money supply, which is the job of government. Meantime the bite of higher interest is get ting a grip.. In recent weeks the Treasury offered one-year certificates on a 3' per '. cent interest basis and a 3' year note on a' ; .V per cent basis. This is the hioiict rate -for government borrowings, w th two excep tions in the last 25 yer. Fo'lowin.T this, however, the money mar';el eased a little and prices of government issues rose. Private corporations w hich have fed greedily on abundant funds of insurance companies at low interest rates have been forced to sweet- ' en the "kitty." Some are issuing common ;! stock instead of debt securities. Others are borrowing money on notes or bonds which j may be convertible Into stock, thus giving the offering a double attraction . On one thing all parties seem agreed (with the possible exception of George Humphrey N and Herbert Hoover), the skids are not greased for a 1929 debacle. There are too ' many built-in brakes to let that happen. All I seem agreed, too. that taxes ought to be re ' duced. that wages and prices should he "sta bilized" (without saying just how this may ' be done). What we are going to see in-1957 is this: traffic in Doth directions. Inflation will be .on the march; so will deflation. Those lines ! of endeavor which are the most popular or '. the best protected will prosper: others will :-s'iffer under the grind of comnetition, as , the lurrrber business does now. Wages will continue to rise: but employes in sick indus tries will have less employment. The over all price level mav go up, but for business will lead to price Deviating Compass Led to Discovery of Fabulous Iron Ore Deposits in Siberia ? By JOSKPH ALSOP KOUSTENAY. Siberia. Feb. 1 Over the flat, featureless, illimitable! tnow-clad plain of this strange land of western Si beria, a young pilot was flying about six years ago towards thu pl?cc, vhich was then a lonetv-- railroad tewn U about 30,000 people. Some s eve n t y kilometers from here, the xuiot'a torooM failed him ut terly and in a way that indi cated a strong magnetic d i i -turbance. That was how the vast twin ' bo dies of magne tic Iron ore of Sirbie and Sok o'ovjky were lir.t discover foarph ALnp ed. And that was the beginning of one rit the most istonishing enterprise . ei this reporter has ever sera. Since then the immense government-directed plough-up of . the virgin plain has transform ed little Koustenay into a roar ing frontier city of mure than 80,000 people. But the transfor mation of Koustenay seemed to me a mere nothing, when com pared , to the trnsformrtion brought by the .discovery of those two ore bodies. I learned the utiiry In half a day s talk with NiUolai Fadyevich Sandri Ratio, one of the three or four tap men in Soviet iron mining' . and now the director of the So kolovsky mines. ' As he told the itory, the So viet Geological Survey moved swiftly lo, map the ore bodies the young pilot had discovered. Thi ore jd-poslt was estlmeted at a have one hillina tons of magnetic ore with 4 oer cent f Iran content. The 8kolvsky deposit was found to be almost equally ' large. The report was then trans mitted to the Ministry of Black '5? the business competition differences and concession popular-.., Industry, which controls all iron and steel production in the Soviet Union. The Ministry de cided that the discovery should be exploited, and ordered a project drawn up by its hive of experts at "Lengyproruda" tle Leningrad Institute of ore projects. The project officer at Lengyproruda in turn called for help from 14 other project planning a g i e rTanginf - from the Leningrad City Plan ning Institute to the Leningrad Industrial Projects Institute. The reault was a massive combined plan for two enor mous open cast Iron mines at the Karbl and Soaelovsky de posits;, an or earlchlag plant using a magnetic separation process situated halfway be tween Ihe mines; a small city ' and a leer town to house the -miners and enriching plant workers; two new railroad lines to carry the ore lo Ihe outer world; a laral narrow gaue rail system large enough lo re quire 129 electric locomotives; plus power stations, shops, wa ter reaervolr, recreation facili ties and everything else needed for a new mining development almost eomnarsble in sekle, coM, difficulty and remoteness la the fsmaua Labrador min'ig n ojeel arig'nallv anon'irrrl by Seerelar of Ihe Treaiury G'or Humphrey, Sandrigailo is a big, calm, sol- idljs-sclf-pcfctiessed man, who is not much given to humor about his mines. But even he smiled, a bit ruefully, when he recalled how the Ministry uprooted him from Ms previous lob as boss nt all the iron mines in the L'rals. Without warning, he was confronted with the 35 stout volumes in which Lehgyprnru- aa ana us assisting project In stitutes had set fr.rth the com nlted Sokolovky project in full detail. ''This," aaid the Ministry, "is your new job." That was In that will trim profits. When the year ends, it will be rated as one of fair prosperity, with a note of , hopefulness for improvement in 1958. Campaign Spending The last report of political expenditures made to the Senate elections committee, cov ering the period Sept. 1 -Nov. 30. 1958 shows . that Republican committees spent 916,496,888 and Democrat committees 110,035.195. Labor committees reported spending $800,771. Re publican receipts were reported at $26,637, 788 and Democrat at $11,685,111. These are not complete by any means be cause reports do not include direct spend-" ing for candidates for state and local offices. They do show how big is the spending orgy for election of a President and members of Congress. Money may make the mare go, but it doesn't insure victory at the polls. Republi cans in Oregon spent more money than their opponents, but took a shellacking. Most of the Democrat candidates had support from organized labor whose legwork and phone calling are a valuable substitute for money. In the list of donors, most of the big in- , dustrialists and financiers contributed to the Republican cause. This helps to tag the Re publican party as the tool of big business. The Democrats need more financial ancels and the Republicans need more votes. May be they can make a trade.. " ,!".We see that Adlai Stevenson is-going out on the mashed potato circuit again. He did that after the 1952 flection, attending count less fund-raising banquets to help mop up the party deficit. He is billed now for a Dem ocratic $50-t he-plate dinner at San Francisco this week. He did his best in two campaigns; .. he shouldn't be made the goat of any party deficit again. Lots of talk about reforms on the money end of campaign', such as limiting number as well as sire of individual contributions. In thee days campaigning for office is fright fully expensive, what with television, air plane travel, hired help. etc. In 1934. Sam Brown of Gervais capitalized on his econom ical campaign for Governor $40 and a Ford" was his slogan, and he made a good but not winning primary race. Those days are gone. We'll see the Democrats becoming bigger . spenders too. for where .political honey is, bees will hover. Gossip on the Royal Family Tongues are wagging from Land's End to the Orkneys following a reprint in British papers of the gossip first reported in the Baltimore Sun of a possible rift between Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, her husband, later denied at the roval palace. The royal family is the common property of in uiiu.ii ptruj.ic, mm tucr iran 1117111 m urns a')out them exe'tes p'lolic interest. After the a'xlicMion of King Edward VIII for love of Mrs. Simpson, affairs of British rovalty ran smooth until Princess Margaret fell in love with an equerry. divorced commonei'. The pressures of conformity constrained her to renounce this affection to discharge her royal .duty to the Commonwealth. It seem safe to predict that the same pressure will prevent -any visible split between the Queen and her husband. They are'to be reunited, following his five-month journey to the South Seas, on the royal yacht Britannia, and we mav antic ipate their return to the homeland with every show of mutual affection. - The gossips spread the tale of marital un happiness for' which the Duke sought sur cease in the company of another woman, with a rendezvous at the apartment of a friend. If the tale has foundation, it will not be the first time that irregular love has invaded royal precincts. In years past many kings had mesalliances, and courtiers learned the way to roval favor through courtesans. Queen Mary, wife of George V. was a strict moralist, however, and under her influence life within the royal family was quite decorous. That in fluence persists, plus the mandate of con formity such as bound Queen Juliana to Prince Bernhard of Holland to patch up their present a solid front to the 1954.

"By the beginning of 1961," . said Sandriaailo with visible assurance, "our mines will be in full operation and each year we shall be shipping out twelve million tons of enriched ore with 59 per cent of iron con tent. Not long ago, big coal le pisiti were found about 100 kilometers from here. When they are producing too, it will be time to think about marrying our coal and our ore to make iron and steel right here."

Finally, when the fires got" too hot, McKay did boil over al a meeting with the statehood committee in Anchorage. His re mark was indiscreet, but it sure ly was provoked as was con tirmcd to me by' the editor of one of the leading papers of the territory. The situation is much different now. The Republican Party made quite explicit in its 1956 platform approval of statehood for Alaska. President Eisenhower has rec ommended statehood for Alaska "subject to area limitations and Safety Valve" 'q Sacrileoe' To the Editor: Jul like this i. Monday l com ing's Siaiesman. I am glad that Admiral Radford, chairman J.C.S. has reassured the Senate that "there is no danger in the lor seeable future of any overt armed Soviet attack on the Middle East," although this non-existent danger is precisely what the ineffable Mr. Dulles proposes to avert by mili tary forces unspecified, and by the expenditure of nobody knows how many billions of good. Amer ican dollars! In other words i Dean Acheron's his "is a pro posal to fight an enemy that's not going to attack, with forces that don't exist, to carry out a policy you haven't decided upon . . ." a typical Dulles departure intended mainly to cover up with the so called "Eisenhower Doctrine" the shilly shally, disingenuous, blund ering ineptitude of Ike's favorite Secretary of State. Having said this I hasten to assure all critics that I well know that Mr. Dulles (Just like Ache son i was appointed, not elected. But in my book criticism of Dul ler and even Eisenhower, is neither blasphemy nor sacrilege. nor yet treason, communism or even socialism. May I add that, although waie.,M J.lfioki.. aawsMKiBj r sir' "Roger is praise indeed, I would find Ike's fulsome flattery of Secretary Du'les a mite more convincing if I did not remember how he saw fit to praise the old Nixon for his campaigning in 1954. without having read dear Dick's speeches. Mr. Eisenhower also said, at the time, that he had not read Dulles'a extraordinary Brink of War interview . in Life magazine; and did not know ahead of time of his decision to publish the Yalta papers. And in view of this last, it seems to me the very heisht of effrontery for Mr. Dulles to withhold informs tion on his dealings with Nasser the Aswan Dam. and v ith the no vim iu ,,5u. ..problejrn on ,tbe text that publishing Paper might hurt the feelings of our allies! , I ...,n rw..- Vm - . . -mitn a-t ...

In this connection it is only fair to report the marvelous job done under McKay's administra tion in rehabilitating the Alaska railroad, owned and operated by the government under interior re sponsibility. Not only were new passenger trains installed, and tteam locomotives replaced with diesel, but the line was made to turn a profit to the treasury in stead of a deficit, in spite of a cut in freight rates.

But the audio-visual plan Is grow ing all the time and seems des tined to be a foundation in all elementary schools of the district. Th . atiH in-i'inal nrmTam ivst launched last year at two schools -Morningside-and Pringle. This year it is being practiced at classrooms covering nine schools. In the words of Arthur V. Myers, assistant superintendent of schools here, the new process has the "appeal of a motion picture." The innovation comprises the projected method" of instruction wherebv words, ohrase. -and en- lir n.ip nf hfw,L ar hlnum tin on a screen by a projector. Fr Langer Periods A main value of the new system, said Myers, is its ability to keep the attention of pupils for longer periods and consequently step up the speed of the learning process. Myers said audio-visual tech niques are capable of keeping at tention of pupils for as long as 23 minutes, compared to 10 minutes under usual conditions. Myers estimated that youngsters receiving the teaching innovation ! henelrt hv an additional minnl.a more at reading each day It waT emphasized by the school official that the nunilx now ting this new aspect of teachina. receive it in addition to normal classroom reading procedures. Phonies Returned Myers said phonics (sounding of letters and wordsi-is retained in all classrooms. He said some par ents have the mistaken impression that this aspect has been dropped. While first dealings with the new system have proven highly satisfactory, Myers said no de cision on general adoption is plan ned Until first grade pupils using it have been observed through the second grade, in the second grade they rcturnjo entirely conventional- teaching practices. At this point, the audio-visual ap proach can be considered purely supplemental to the conventional procedures that have been proven which have stood the test of vears. Myers said schedule in the 17 classrooms included in the audio visual experiment calls for usual story presentation, use of the screen, a physical education break, then to work books and distribu tion into groups.
