Japanese Court
Lenient with Girard
The family and friends of Pvt. 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

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. Since the reaction to the
Sputniks is for a speed-up of our missile de

As for the

world views of former Secretary

whose opinions still hold sway in
Washington, very closely resem
bled the views of Neville Cham

is the real rub.

disastrous moment of the summit

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

to do nearly enough to hall the

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

that we have many planes con-

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?"

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

'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

The above is quoted from Mon

count that the appointment of Mr.

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.

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.

Moses concludes his critique !
thus
"We shall have to live with
this problem somehow or other.
We are not going underground.
We shall not evacuate and dis

this country will not take this
threat seriously enough to sup
port a fantastic national under

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

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.

Many people do not understand
why the United States, willing to
conduct its own development pro

join in a similar U.N. etfort.
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.
The U.S. reply is that it doesn't
mind spending where it can check
the need and the prospects for
success of special projects, and
