But Tues tfy only 3 out of 100 paid any liention to the two-bit piece. take think that the enemy will l have come off best if the war ends now. Those who feel it was NOT a mistake tend to think that an end ing of the war now would repre sent a triumph for our side. Those are the highlights from a new test of public sentiment on the Korean situation, a test in which field interviewers for the Institute personally questioned voters in all walks of life throueh- out the country. They were asked first: "Do you tliitik the United Stales made a mistake in going into the war in Korea, or not?" The vote: Yes, a mistake 51 No, not a mistake 35 No opinion 14 100 The belief that the war was a mistake has persisted for more than a year. In March, 1951 the division of opinion on the same question was 50 per cent that our entrance into the war was a mistake, 39 per cent that it was not, and 11 per cent undecided. When the war was in its early stages, the popular attitude was greatly different. In August, 1950, for example, 65 per cent said that we did NOT make a mistake in going in, while only 20 per cent thought we did. That was less than three months after the war started. What undoubtedly caused opin ion to shift was the entrance of the Chinese Communists into the fight, in late November, 1950. From that date on, surveys have found the war unpopular. Who's the Victor? The second question in today's survey was this: "Suppose that 0 truce settle ment is reached in Korea. As mat ters stand today, which side ours or the enemy's do you think will nave won tne otgger victory.'" Here is the total vote: Our side 20 Enemy . 33 Neither . 23 No opinion 1. . 14 100 Here is the way the 51 per cent who think our entry into the Ko rean war WAS a mistake vote on the above question: Our side 24 Enemy 41 Neither 23 No opinion 12 Morse Attacks Justice Branch LOS ANGELES lP) Con gressional investigating commit tees are doing jobs that rightfully should be done by the Justice De partment, Sen. Morse (R.-Ore.). told a Town Hall meeting here. "If we had a Justice Depart ment that was Drooerlv doinu Its job, we would not have to have a Newbold Morris aoDointeri. hv the President to act in its stead," the senator said. "Congressional committees In this period of hysteria act in the role of prosecutors," he asserted. "We must put an end to 'guilt by association processes and place the burden of proof on government in some of these investigative accusations."

Bull esti- been Point System ' Put in Effect 'i SEOUL (U.PJ The Army's new scheme for rotating troops frorij Korea went into effect Tuesday giving front-line troops a clear cut "bonus." Under the new system only soldiers in frontline units exposed to enemy fire will get the maxl mum four points a month. Inter mediate zone troops will get threa points and support units will get two. A man is eligible for rota tion when he has 36 points. Previously many support troops attached to units in the front lines received front-line credit. Tb Army said the new rotation scheme was intended to keep soldiers not actually under con stant enemy fire in Korea longer.

Services Held For Rickard MONROE Funeral, services' for the late Frank Rickard were held from the Monroe Methodist Church Wednesday afternoon, and were attended by his friends. He was born near Monroe and had lived here, mostly in farming, all his life. He was 81 at the time of his death, March 17. Rev. H. G. Herrmann officiated at the fu neral. Burial was in the Monroe Cemetery. Word has been received here of the recent death of Louis Tay lor. Taylor came to Monroe In about 1912 and only in recent years moved to California because of his health. He owned a ranch in this community just across from the John Petersen place. He lived with his mother, who passed away in 1930. They were well known and will be remembered among Monroe's oldtimers. A recent house guest at the Al bin Johnson home in Monroe was Mrs. Mae York of Eugene. Despite the blustery cold weath. er and power outage the St. Pat. rick's dinner at the Monroe Meth. odist Church had an attendance of about 100, and the women's society cleared around $55, which they will use to buy paint to re decorate the church's social rooms, Report is that a truck hit a pole near Benton-Lane Park causing the power outage, and a new pole had to be set in. Oil lamps were rounded up, the cooking finished up by wood fire in place of elec tricity, and the Irish dinner was on the tables almost on time, 6 p.m. INFORMATION PLEASE!
