INTRODUCING BILL TUGMAN
Appearance of the name of William M. Tugman on. the
Junior Chamber of Commerce banquet program as speaker
of the evening serves to remind us that it is only slightly
more than a year ago that the same Bill Tugman gave an
address to the Bend and Redmond Kiwanis clubs which might
well be considered as the kickoff for the extensive post-war
planning which has been going in Deschutes county. His
remarks were based on the planning and financing job which
was already well along in Lane county and in which, he
neglected to say, he had had a leading part.
What his subject will be tonight has not beeri announced.
We understand that the Jaycee committee left that up to
him. We do know that it will be well chosen and that it will
be thoroughly and logically developed.
As an aside, it might be mentioned here, although the
Jaycee toastmaster will doubtless mention it tonight, that Bill
Tugman is the managing editor of the Eugene Register
Guard, one of the state's outstanding newspapers. That he is
one of the outstanding editors of the state might be guessed.
In 1944 he received the Amos E. Voorhies award, official
recognition by the profession of unusual demonstrated ability
and public service as a newspaper man. An interesting article
in the latest issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly gives
the impressive record on which the award was based. It is
an award, by the way, which is by no means made an
nually. No publicity seeker, Bill Tugman has nevertheless been
the subject of two widely circulated magazine articles in the
past year, one in Yank, famed publication of the American
armed forces, the other in the Woman's Home Companion.
Each was keyed on his work in developing the Lane county
post-war program.
It is quite 'probable that Bill will not thank us for all
this. As has been mentioned, he is not a publicity seeker. But
we've wanted to say some of these things for a long while arid
now seems as good a time as any.
FUNCTION OF THE BOND
Persisting in their refusal to withdraw their protest
against the proposed land exchange between the national
forest and The Shevlin-Hixon Company, the county courts
of Klamath and Lake counties make a special point of denying
the War Production board assertion that their protest is
jeopardizing Shevlin-Hixon production of lumber for war
uses. They seek to disprove the WPB contention by pointing
out that the company is already cutting national forest timber
under a bond although, to quote the news story from Klamath
Falls, "the current land transaction has not been officially
closed." -
Actually this has nothing whatever to do with the case.
The Shevlin-Hixon Company is cutting under a performance
bond, but the exchange has been approved by the department
of the interior and the bond is fnerely a.guararitee that good
title will be conveyed on the lands on which the residual timber
is situated, both of which go to the national forest in the ex
change. If there is any significance in this it is in indicating the
need for timber for war production rather than otherwise. At
the same time it is an indication of the manner in which pro
vision is being made for selective logging and, with it, for the
forests of the future.
News regarding a concrete block plant to be established
in Bend notes that blocks of 6 x 12 x 8 inches as well as blocks
of 12 x 6 x 8 inches are to be made. Somehow the sizes aivon
seem much the same to us. We are leaving a decision on this
point, however, to our department Of hiirher mathematics nd
structural engineering, which

FOUR YOUNG MEN IN THE
GOLD RUSH

On June 7 they reached Fort
Laramie and stayed there resting
tor two days. The plain around
the fort was white with tents and
wagons. The epidemic of cholera
that had begun along the Missis
sippi during the spring o'f that
year had reached this point In
Wyoming. About a dozen cases
were reported at Laramie when
the Cullen train arrived. John
Cullen set up his camp for the 15
wagons about nail a mile from
the main body of emigrants. Then
he visited each wagon and gave
positive orders that no water was
to be drunk until it had been
boiled, and all food of every de-

Occasionally they encountered f

frccautions, however, against an

of all the wagons, more than 40
of them, with the people In the
center. In this enclosure there
was not enough room for the
cattle, and they were tied outside
the square in a corral formed of
ropes. Six men .were detailed each

To the Editor:
Just a note of appreciation for
the fine series of articles (or

"The Way Our People Lived."
They really help to understand
the background of our country's
history.

Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington, D. C. ' Back In
1914 the' U. S. department of state
had 200 employes in Washington
and occupied about a third of the
mid-Victorian pile knowh as the
State, War and Navy building,
Just west of the White House. By
the end of World War I, State
had 800 employes In Washington
and had crowded Wdr and Navy
into temporary buildings down In
the Potomac river bottom lands.
At the outbreak of World War
II, Department of State had 974
errtployes in Washington. For next
year it is asking for funds to em
ploy 4100 hands who will be scat
tered in some six buildings.
The four-fold increase hi per
sonnel in both wars is not men
tioned as a horrible example of
the growth of bureaucracy but as
an index of the growing import
ance of foreign relations In Amer
ican life. In a shrinking world it
becomes more and more' neces
sary to pay attention to what goes
on in other lands and splendid iso
lationism becomes an increasingly
dead duck.
The comparison on state depart
ment employes at home only be-
gins to tell the story. Iri 1939 the
rjsr wr-
mm
I it fL
forelgn service the overseas
branch oi 1 the .department had
3700 employes. For nevt year it
wants 7200. In 1939 the state de
partment budget was 18 million
dollars. For next year it Is asking
for 77 million dollars.
. ,
If that seems like a lot of
money, compare it with war costs.
Spending at the rate of six billion
dollars a month, 200 million a day,
eight million an hour, the shoot
ing war now consumes as much
money in one 10-hour day as it
will take to run the entire state
department for a whole year. The
big objective of the state depart
ment in the coming year being
the establishment of an interna
tional peace organization which
will prevent future wars, the ques
tion is whether its expenditure
Isn't good insurance and a good
Investment even if part of it
should go for cultural relations
and information programs which
by 1914 standards might not seem
exactly necessary.
The complexity of the Job In
most of the 350 foreign service
posts has been increased by the
war. Consular and diplomatic
work is no longer a part-time, soft
job confined to stamping a few
passports, keeping tourists from
home out of trouble, attending
teas and contributing to every na
tive charity shakedown. In the
course of this war the need has
arisen for more and better econ
omic attaches, civil aeronautics
attaches, mining, agricultural, pe
troleum or other one commodity
