BASIN AND VALLEY DIFFERENCES
Some days ago the Pendleton East Oregonian, in an edi
torial critical of the proposals to do away with the acreage
limitation ru e on the Central
proval of the plan for the strict
Columbia basin project. Well, we have secured a copy or tne
Columbia basin law public law 8 78th congress and we
find that while the 160 acre limitation rule is included it is also
provided that the United States may purchase lands in the
project and resell them. That is an important difference.
This provision of the law, we are informed, was included
to save owners of large acreages, with heavy investments in
imnroVement8. from the losses they would suffer were they
forced to break up their holdings, sell at the appraised value
of the land and take losses on
mentally, that is what the owners of land in the Central valley
want to be protected with respect to their improvements.
And they are not to be criticised for asking for the same sort
of protection that is being given
Of course, when further
the basin and the valley one
latter, seriously complicating
are almost all wheat lands
There are no permanent plantings. Governmeit purchase and
subdivision would involve small, if any, loss. In the valley
there are extensive plantings of various sorts and in many
cases there would be economic destruction if there was a
forced break down into smaller
All that the Central valley seeks is protecting exceptions
to the general rule. By the way, the congress is being asked
for $2,000,000 to be used for land purchase in the Columbia
basin. That sort of thing makes it easy to enforce the 160 acre
rule.
, , THE KLAMATH USO
USO service centers have done a fine job. This is ac
counted for, we suppose, by the fact that once established
they are in charge of trained workers who are given help of
every sort by volunteers from the community where they op
erate. On the other hand the headquarters management back
in New York, or wherever the top hands have their offices,
is about as stumbling and bumbling as anything could be.
We had a good deal to say on the subject in the months
when the fight awas being made to secure the rehabilitation of
the space used by the USO here in Bend. We ara led to com
ment again as we read that it has taken about a year to get
the funds and the approval out of the USO headquarters for
a similar improvement in Klamath Falls. "The action came
at last," says the Herald and News, "after special appeals
went out recently from the USO people here, commanding
officers of the military installations, and others."
Here in Bend the approval came and the job was clone
just in time to see Camp Abbot closed. Something of the same
sort, as we remember, happened in Salem. As. we congratulate
Klamath on its success we offer the wish that the completion
of the job there will not have the same accompaniment of a
closed camp. ,
: The people of America, we think, want nnd expect General
MacArthur to continue in charge of the military effort against
Japan and they visualize him as leading the American army
into Tokyo when surrender comes. Accordingly, they do not
understand or, perhaps, it were better to say they do not
like the ollh-.ial attitude toward MacArthur. In a recent news
conference Secretary Stimson declined to discuss the pos
sibility of MacArthur's leading in the final drive and said

THE STORY: In 1832 Poland Is
still under the Russian yoke, her
peasants are chained to a vicious
feudal system and any demon
stration for freedom is immedi
ately put down by the soldiers
of the Czar. Frederic Chopin is
22, has gained distinction as a
pianist in his home village of
Zelazowa Wola and some celeb
rity as a composer, even In War
saw. The night he is to play at
Count Wodzinskl's, Josef Eisner
invents a pretext that will take
him away from home a few hours
before the event.

Jozef Eisner nodded.
"Will there be a meeting?"
"Yes."
"What about the Russian?"
Jozef Eisner spoke in a low
voice. "Tonight. He's going to

be tonight? I wanted to hear him.

Jozef Eisner rolled his tongue.
"We'll arrive at the Count's a

They trudged In the dark. Jozef

strong wind sweeping across the
open country somewhat slowed
their progress. They were in eve

cape tighter about him.

I don't think they will."

man found It difficult to keep up,
ho was breathing hard, though he
did not complain.
"I am sorry. Professor; we will
take it slower."
They tin ned off the road into a
path lined on each side by birches.
They paused. They hoard only the
wind. The path was too narrow
for them to walk abreast. Fred

Jozef Eisner, then Frederic,
went up the ladder. A dozen per
sons, men and women in field
clothes and jackets, were already
in their places.
Konstancja Gladkowska took
Frederic's hand and pressed It.
Standing in the half-light of a
shaded lantern that cast gro
tesque shadows on the rotting
beams and weathered walls was a
short, stocky man, a growth of
beard on his face.
"Has he spoken yet?" Frederic
asked. . ....
-"Just started."
"Well, as I have said," tlie
stocky man began. His words
were in a conversational manner
and not In the way of one making
a speech. "America has given us
tne pattern, it is a good pattern.
They fought for the right to live
as free men, for life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. Those
are not mere words. They are
things for which a man anywhere
can fight with his heart and with
all the strength that is In him"
There was a clapping of hands.

"You are ready to fight," the
Russian was saying. "We, too, are
ready. We,, too, have our meet

do it. Our weapons first will be;
printing presses, later guns

"Let me tell you this: your
meetings are important this one

held throughout Poland. The Czar
is very much troubled, and he has

He has sent you a new governor

Boots scraped the floor. There
were murmurs of "Ah."
"His record is a bloody one.
The Czar has picked the most
ruthless hangman he could
find"
Jozef Eisner pulled out his,
watch. He held it in the dim light
close to his face. He took Frederic
by the arm.
"This hangman will hunt
down meetings such as tills "
Frederic was on Iris feet. "Let
him dare!"
Jozef Eisner tugged at him.
"Damn the hangman!" he
cried, Jerking himself free of Eis
ner's grasp. "Damn him, damn

(NEA SUtf Correaoondent)
Washington, D. C. The 122
standing and special committees
of the U. S. senate and house 0
representatives pose one of the
toughest problems which must be
considered in studying the mod
ernization of congress.
In 1927 the number of congres
sional committees was reduced
from 55 to 42 principally by merg
ing into two committees the 11
which had Dreviously considered
expenditures for the executive de-r
partments. Since the early 9th
century, however, the number of
committees has grown Jike twin
Topsies. In the last session of
congress there 47 standing and
eight special committees in the
house, 33 standing and 12 special
committees In the senate, four
joint committees, 18 commissions
and boards.
Each of these committees is a
little ministry in itself, with pow
ers and privileges duly appreci
ated by the members thereof, who
will see the merging or liquida
tion of their group effected only
over their political dead bodies.

organization. So much of the !
work ot congress has to be done
in committees, yet the congress
men simply haven't the time to
attend all the meetings of all the
committees of which they ..are
members.
It has. been estimated that of
the 122 "committees in congress
only 27 are really important 16
in the house and 11 in the senate.
Many of the committees duplicate
each other. ' . ' .

edy for this. And Instead of hav
ing one committee in congress to
match every department or activ
ity in the executive departments,
it has been suggested that there
be created only nine or 10 policy
committees, each to deal with one
broad field of public affairs.
Far more vicious than the com
mittee system itself, perhaps, is
the unwritten seniority rule by
which a member once assigned to
a committee may stay with that
committee during his career, ad
vancing in rank in his committee
as he is re-elected term after term
until, being the oldest in point of
service he is eligible to become
its chairman regardless ot his
ability.
Modification of congressional
custom to permit the election of
chairmen is opposed, however, on
the ground that it would encour
age log-rolling and deals among
congressmen for votes on coveted
chairmanships. One compromise
to meet this objection would be
to limit the number of years a
congressman might hold a chairmanship.
