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 that announcement of the selection of commanding officers in the field is only made public when security nurmirv..

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. e e IX SECKKT MEETING "What's this your're playing?" i Jozef Eisner said, coming Into the room where Frederic was at the piano. "What idiot wrote that?" "lhanR you, 1'roiessor. 1 am the idiot." "Teh, tch. Then I'll listen." Frederic continued his Mazurka in B-flat. Not had: not bad at all. Did I say, 'not bad?' Please, Eisner, where is your ear? Distinguished! That's what It is. Distinguished Eh? Tch, tch its magnificent magniricent! Frederic played until the final note. Then lie came to the old man who took him to his arms. kiti-sed hull on each cheek. "Have you seen him?" " Sliss." Jozcf Eisner closed the door. "Have you seen him, Profes sor?" ' 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 speak "Uut why tonight? Why must It be tonight? I wanted to hear him. " I eh, tch. You will hear him; you II he there." "This concei t tonight how can i get out oi tt 7" Jozef Eisner rolled his tongue. "We'll arrive at the Count's a little late." They trudged In the dark. Jozef Eisner holding Frederic's arm. A strong wind sweeping across the open country somewhat slowed their progress. They were in eve ning clot lies. Frederic drew his cape tighter about him. "Do you think thov will wait? I don't think they will." Ho (lulckeni-d Ills ioe. The old 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 eric took the lead. They continued for about a quarter of a mile. 'hen they stopped again. Off the pain m a place that had once oron a clearing nut was now weeds nnd hlp.li crass there was rn, ions since nnanunnoa.

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. iuiei: erica Jan. iNone oi that."

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.

JZ?UST GIZZIVE HIZZIM ENOU&H RIZZCVE AND HE LL HlZZAMCr , UIZ.ZIMSIZZE P 1945 Washington Column By Peter Edson (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. Yet reform of the committee evctam miiet nnmo if mnanwB ic to be made into a more efficient ' 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. ' . ' .

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. Buy National War Bonds Now1!
