William S. Girard ought to be hanging their heads They raised a great atink because the government (State plus Army) decided to turn him over to a Japanese civil court for trial on charges growing out of the shooting of a woman scavenger at a gun ranee They took the case to court, and finally the Supreme Court had to pass on the action of the government. As it turned out Girard had an eminently fair trial in Japan and sot off with a mild sen tence He was found' guilty of causing the death of the woman, but his three year prison aentence was suspended. On the same show ing of evidence it seems probable that ha would have got a much stiffer sentence in an Army court-martial proceeding. The denouement of the case ought also to quiet the super patriots who without knowl edge condemned the judicial system of Japan. The event discredits them. The trial was fully reported and It seemed that the presid ing judge was very fair in his conduct of the ease and quite thorough in keeping the case epen for all pertinent testimony. While there as conflict in the testimony on balance it teemed certain that Girard was guilty of grow carelessness at least, which in our coun try would probably have brought conviction for manslaughter. He got far more attention In this country than he deserved and now enjoys the leniency vouchsafed by the Japa nese court Will Congress Cut Domestic Plans? In his address at Oklahoma City. President Eisenhower warned that to increase spending for defense it may be necessary to cut back some of our other spending programs. This has set sleuths to searching where the most vulnerable spots are. One of the programs which has been mentioned as due for shrink age is veterans' aid which runs about $5 bil lion year. Scaling this down, however, would seem to be impossible from a political stand point. Another shining target may be appropria tions for agriculture, which have been mount ing fast spite of the complaint that Benson hasn't been doing anything for the farmers. Total appropriations for agriculture by fiscal years have been: 1955- M f 994.103.172 1956- 57 2,12fl,050.718 1957- 58 13,666.543,000 ' Appropriations for public works also may be under scrutiny for possible reduction. The record on appropriations in this category is: 1955- M ; $636,173,714 1956- 57 $667,057,000 1957- 58 $858,094,000 . With 1958 an election year, the temptation of members of Congress will be to increase rather than decrease appropriations which find their way to the pockets of individuals fr communities.

For an Amer ican. it is a tjoaph AUop melancholy and alarming judgment. The anxious meetings in Washington, the gy rations of Secretary of Slate (Dulles, the soothing speeches of the President, have neither re assured our friends nor impressed our enemies. The parallel will raise goose flesh on anyone with a good memory. All the same, the Amer ican government's response to its recent rude awakening seems much toe like the British govern ment's response to the rude awakening of the Austrian an chlusa in 1S3S. la the RepabUeaa admlalslra Uea la America la the 'JQ, there CeasenratiTe attmlaistraiiMS la BriUla ia Ue lea.

KM 4-ll As for the remembered world views of former Secretary of the Treasury, George Hum phrey, that dominating figure whose opinions still hold sway in Washington, very closely resem bled the views of Neville Cham berlain. Here has been and here is the real rub. To be sure, except in the brief disastrous moment of the summit meeting at Geneva, the Eisen hower administration has never ""Pen 10 no misiness .win Kremlin as Chamberlain company hoped to do bu 'ith Adolf Hitler. But the It ?l thf Fisenhower administ hoped to do business .with the and business leaders stration have always shared most of the other characteristic beliefs of the British leaders of the '30s. Above all they have shared the belief that budget problems must come first wnh defense problems a very poor second. Similar beliefs produced simi lar actions and similar lallures to lake arlion. la partirular the ' Eisenhower administration failed to do nearly enough to hall the grim, progrensive unfavorable tilt of the world power balaaee, la maay stars so comparable la the tilt of I he European balance la the Hitler years. And now, as la 13$, the true stale of the power balance has been suddenly, bru tally and unmistakably revealed. This Is the true signifleaare of the Sputalk, thai II has told MS and It has told the world exactly where we stand. We cannot any longer go oa believing in the myth of aa "Americas lead" mlraca Imply maintained without elfort r sacrifice. The world has cer tainly erased to believe ia this American lead," and now la stead believes in a Russia lead. Politically, therefore, the Sputnik has beea a unqualified catas trophe, for the world's belief ia the American lead was our great test remalalag foreign asset The world has waited, as the fountry has waited, to are how Ing, the outlook is for no tax reduction next year. Instead, there may be some increase in an effort to balance the budget, increase funds for defense and foreign assistance and mainuin the domestic programs on present levels. Real surgery on appropriations is Jiardly to be expected in a campaign year. That Non-Sroo Flight The recent non-stop flight of Air Force personnel in a jet tanker to Buenos Aires, and another In return, has brought criticism. Congressman Norblad, who is a member of the armed services committee, says the flight proved "a total of nothing." and was a waste of manpower and fuel. The Oregonian also is severely critical of General LeMay'i air jaunt. So it may appear to prudent Americans. But it may have been an achievement of sig nificant to other peoples To the Russians it was an effective demonstration of the long range capacity of our jet planes; and the show also mav have been of some comfort to our allies While the Sputniks are more dramatic, at the moment the range of our big bomhin? planes has more meaning in a military sense. expenditure of fuel, it must be that we have many planes con- stantlv in the air as a measure of precaution against being blasted on the ground in some sudden surprie. Maybe it was something of a stunt: but it was proof, too, of American air power. Editorial Comment Linfield Research Institute The emphasis on research that has been thrust to the front in our thinking by the new era of Sputnik should focus the attention of Yamhill coun ty citizens upon an organization in their midst hieh i making a significant contribution to Amer ica's research program. This is the I.infield Re search Institute, an auxiliary of the college. Here are some of the values that come to us from the very presence of the L. R. I. in McMinnville: 1. First and foremost, the L. R. I. brings among us a group of citizens of the highest possible cali bre, well-educated and dedicated to the best inter ests of the community. They are active in our churches, in our civic organizations, in our youth programs and in our schools. What is more: they are leaders in all these phase, of our community life. 2. From the selfish standpoint, the L. R. I. has brought a large payroll to our area, and that is growing rapidly, now numbering 35 full-time em ployers and 15 part-time. What is more, this is probably one of the highest paid groups per capita, as far as the full-time employees are concerned, to he found in Yamhill county. 3. McMinnville and Yamhill county are given a sense of making a significant contribution to the nation and to the world in a time when research is the crying need in all fields of endeavor. 4- The I.. R. I. in its close affiliation with Linfield college give opportunities for our own youth and attracts here young people of high quality to train in the sciences and mathematics and In the fu ture possibly in other fields. The institute and the college mke available a number of combination cash-work scholarships which give opportunities for the recipients not only to obtain financial help in pursuing an education but to experience actual work in the L. R. I. So far as is known this is the only place in the United Stales where students may obtain such valuable experience at the undergrad uate level. A number of students from this area now are participating in the program. S. It is hoped that the results of the research will head to future expansion of Oregon industry, another influence in the direction of diversification of the State's economy, so desperately needed. S The L. R. I. has brought Linfield and McMinn ville into prominence on a national and in some respects on a world-wide scale. Scientists from overseas have journeyed here to visit the institute and in some cases to stay and to study here. We heard of one scientist in the Fast who was travel- . ing West to study at one of the large state schools of higher education. He stopped off at an eastern laboratory on his way. While there he told of his projected trip and of the school where he would serve. One of the scientists at the lab asked him, "Is that near Linfield?" (McMinnville News-Registerl the Administration would respond to the challenge so brusquely pre- senled. The situation was not and is not by any means hopeless, Our allies, our enemies and the uncommitted nations all alike un- rterstand America s vast reserves of power. A general conviction that these reserves are being de terminedly mobilized will be enough to alter the whole atmos phere and trend abroad. But in order to save the situa tion in this manner, two things are needed. New men with new ideas are needed, to strike a new note of vigorous, disinterested leadership. And a new call to ef fort and sacrifice is needed lo show that America's reserves of power really are being mobilized in deadly earnest. , Instead Ihe world kas heen In formed lhal Secretary of State Joka Foster Dalle means to re main on the Job forever la order to organise a arw, more intimate nlly of the Western Alliance.

'None Too Soon' To the Fditor: Towards the end of your excel lent summary of the Nutting lec tures given at Willamette last week, you note the coincidence that Life magazine also urges a new economic policy as necessary if we are to win over the eco- nomically backward and former- ly dependent nations of Asia, the Middle East and Africa, which otherwise will inevitably fall into the Communist orbit, I suppose it is mere oversight, but you do not mention the point, emphasized by the British states- man in his lecture on rrlday, that this vital economic aspect of rrelgnr VdrS III 30 our struggle against world Com munism was entirely omitted Willamette Valley shippers were from both of Mr. Eisenhower's promised Wednesday an adequate "chin-up" speeches.

If sustained economic growth under democratic auspices fails. people will turn to the Russian example." The above is quoted from Mon day morning's Statesman, page 7. I hope it would not be irrever ent to suggest on my own ac count that the appointment of Mr. Stevenson as a Foreign Policy consultant has not come any too soon. IVAN LOVELL, t'roisan Road. High Property Taxes To the Editor: We believe you have not con sidered a certain group of prop erty tax payers when you defend the levying of a property tax for the paying of state expenses namely: the folk who own prop erty for rental purposes. We hap- pen to be one of them. . The renter s gardener and I keep the exterior of these tiny houses and the lawns so attrac- live folk going by stop to ask how you do it. Tbe renter keep the interior the same way. One of them has been there for seven year. We look them up a la credit bureau to which we have IT access when they are sent by friends: We agree on what the rent is to be. In spite of a steady increase in taxes on them the rent remains the same. Why? Be- cause we had art" agreement with these lovely people are we are morally hound to keep it. II they move out for any reason we can raise the rent for the one who follows them. But not on them. Their income is fixed. We saw this tried on the de . sirable renlers in a lovelv house just a few feet from ue. The own er upped the rent from $90 to $100 A business man, who because of the nature of his work, ii trans ferred occasionally, -snorted, "I might have to pay $100 for an unfurnished house hut not to -him." The house has been vacant for months. A bad loss there. The governof certainly has had his arm twisted plenty the past few weeks. I'm not exnert at arm twisting but my right British foot still carries a wallop. I used it on a burglar once and he dropped my possessions as well as a cam era he had stolen somewhere else. It must have hurt. We'll bet the governor doesn't veto this bill. Any takers? The slakes? Some of last year's Christmas wrappings we are iron ing out after paying our taxes so as not to be fined 3 per cent. Edith F. White, 2093 Mill St. Metropolitan Progress To the Editor: The "Oregon Statesman." in writing sarcastically about the proposed new Portland hotels, evidently overlooked something the great capacity of Portlanders for patience. No question about it. It took a good spell of time to get those bridges across the Willamette, but they're there now for sure: in fact, there are two brand new ones in the making, one across the Willamette and one across the Columbia. Could be the same way with those hotels. Keeping in mind the fact that it will ever be difficult for Port land to keep up with the great city of Salem when it comes to matters of progress, would it be asking too much for the "Oregon Statesman" to share in our pa tience and willingness to wait for what the future will bring? Who knows, the day may come when Portland will be fhe center of a huge metropolitan area, such as Salem is now. with architectural masterpieces like Salem's two leading downtown hotel buildings gracing the skvline.

We shall not change our way of life. The sane people of this country will not take this threat seriously enough to sup port a fantastic national under ground escapist program, cost ing between twenty and thirty billion dollars at a time when the insistent demand is for retrench ment and economy. A well-balanced, modest, experimental, multi-purpose civil defense shel ter program under the right aus pices might accomplish some thing. The program should be up to the established department of defense, which is supposed to protect us against attack and launch the counter-oifensive." What civil defense can do is lo keep a muster-roll of talents available for , emergency duty have a cadre of competent per sons who can be called on In supplement police and firemen needed, and list stores of essen tial supplies from boats to band ages that may be seized in em ergency. All this, one assumes has been done and is kept up-to-date. Trial runs of evacuation and fanfare alarms yield little in the way of results that will abide for an emergency. And no mat ter how much advance prepara tion is done, when IT comes there must be much improvising. Then the civil defense organiza tion can step in to help the au thorities direct the improvising.

Strong arguments have been made that such action would help regain some of this country's old time reputation for altruism, which has suffered because of the strings attached to the bilateral agreements of the Mutual Aid Program, much of which is devot - ed to military aid.
