; WEST AND ROOSEVELT
The battle begun by ex-Governor Oswald West and carried
on by citizens of Vachats to prevent the removal of sand from
the beach near, that coast community has been won. The vic
tory came not from a revocation of the license to use the sand
irranted bv the hiirhway commission. It was the force of public
opinion that did the job. While the commission was standing
pat tiie contractor to wnom tne license naa Deen given wb
feeling the heat and finally, the other day, he told the people
of Yachats that he would talfe no sand from the beach.
Jn reporting this fact here and congratulating "Os" West
on his achievement we take tne opportunity or printing in
this column something that Theodore Roosevelt wrote about
our former governor many years ago. in nis column an tne oia
"Outlook" -magazine in September, jttooseveit eaia tnis:
In Governor West, ol Oregon, l louna a man more intelli
gently alive to the beauty of nature and of harmless wild life,
more eagerly desirous to avoid the wanton and brutal deface
ment and destruction of. wild nature, and more keenly apprecia
tive of how much this natural beauty should mean to civilized
mankind, 'than almost Any other man I have ever met holding
high political position; .. H9 desires to preserve for all time
our natural resources, the woods, the water, the soil, which a
selfish and short sighted greed seeks to exploit in such a fashion
as to ruin them, and thereby to leave our children and our chil
dren's children heirs only to n exhausted and Impoverished
inheritance; he desires also to preserve, for sheer love of their
beauty and' interest, the .wild creatures of woodland and moun
tain, of marsh and lake and seacoast; and while he puts the
, economic need first, the need of permanently bettering the ma
terial well-being of our people being the foundation purpose
of the movement, he also puts in prominent position the desir
ability of adding to our stock of popular pleasure and interest
. the inexhaustible delight that comes from knowing and loving,
in and for itself, -the wealth of beauty in bird and tree and bios-

We wish there were more Oregonians of whom there could
be said today those wise and understanding things that
Theodore Roosevelt said of Oswald West back in 1911.
' The Deschutes county court is to be commended for its
action in requiring testing of herds for both tuberculosis and
Bangs disease. Central Oregon's record for maintaining
healthy cattle is an enviable one and should be continued. The
cost, especially when it is now and then found necessary to
destroy infected animals, may be high, but there are divi
dends over the years for those engaged in dairying and in
beef production and health for the humans whose food 'is
drawn from these sources. ' - "
Secretary Krug opposes the elimination of federal super-
vision of Alaskan natives and has written a senate subcom
mittee considering the subject that unless the natives are
protected in their occupancy and use of these ancestral areas
and are permitted to establish their local governments the
virtual destruction of these people is almost sure to result.
Wonder what he thinks about the Oregon natives and their
use of ancestral areas assured them (so they thought) by
formal treaty.
Cohtrol measures, we read, are 'to be undertaken against
starlings which have made their appearance in Jefferson
county. It is well that the winged visitors have been promptly
identified. They can quickly become a serious nuisance, in
rural areas and in cities alike, and an actual menace where
crops are concerned. 'Control Is good. It should bo started
without delay. If. it can be pushed to the point of extermina
tion, so much the better.
The eastern physician who thinks that he has a means by
which chlorophyll can be used to pep up the old folks will be
suggesting a new phrase to describe the results of the dis
covery. "Feeling his greens" will be the idea instead of
"Feeling his oats.",

Washington, March 5 U" It
was 10:30 in the morning, an hour
and a half before the house of
representatives would be rapped
to order.
Down on the floor, a couple
dozen kids were playing congress
man, une boy, witn naming rea
hair and a faceful of freckles, sat
with his feet draped over the
seat In front of him. He thumbed
his vest and blew a billow toward
the ceillni?.
"Now vou take the Marshall
plan," he said with that worldly
look. "We got to take care of
those folks over there. What do
you want to see, Charles? World
War III? You'd be ripe for It
Cannon fodder."
"Oh. I don't know," ms com
panion argued. "We ought to do
first things first and take care of
our own people, mis is an eiec
tion year, you Know, riea.
Other groups of boys were
bunched elsewhere about the
house floor, taking the world
apart and putting It back together
again with small talk.
A front page story that ice
cream Is being high-priced off the
market n Washington got
rough going over, and so did the
question of rent control. Likewise
the com nor nonticai campaigns.
The nenclls on the house speak'
er's desk were lined up, the place
was snick and span and the big
shots weren't home. It was time
for a little fun. In short, the page
boys' pre-session hoe down was
under way. as it is about that
time every day.
Flftv of the kids, eacn witn me
blessing and recommendation of
a congressman, make up the most
exclusive office boy's club in the
world.
Thev ranee in aee from 16 to
19. And their take-home pay, after
taxes, is $196 a month. They have
to pay for their uniforms dark
blue serge suits, with black shoes
and ties, which they are wearing
in the 80th session for the first
time.
Thev used to show up In any
old thing. Then one day, one of
the western kids appeared wear
ine a bright red Jacket, looking
like a cow poke. He caused quite
a commotion. The house had hear
ings and heard that some of the
19-year-old boys looked too much
like freshmen congressmen for
comfort. For the comfort of fresh
men congressmen, that is. So a
law was passed. Uniforms.
Many of the ooys wno mi tne
ink wells and run the errands,
Incidentally, have political ambi
tions themselves. Across the
years, a lot of their predecessors
in page boy Jobs have grown up
to be congressmen.
So it is not surprising that one
of ,tho rnpst popular courses in
the page boys' private school is
government, with the professor
dipping, into questions of politics
and politicians.

ses at 6:30 in the morning and

Capitol doorkeeper M. L. Mele
tlo, who has charge of the boys,
says discipline is no problem.
"We give 'em enough home
work In their school to keep them
out of mischief. They don't have
too much free time on their
hands," he said.
Back on the floor yesterday,
the page boys were using up what
free time they did have. That Is,
until Red happened to look up
and see a couple of congressmen
coming in for the upcoming ses
sion. All he had to say was "Jiggers!"
Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(KEA Waehinirton Correepondent) .
Washington, D. C. Secretary
of state George C, Marshall's pub
lic appearances are inclined to be
somewhat irregular. He cart' be
exceedingly affable and effective.
But when he doesn't want to give,
he buttons up his lip, sets his
chin, and is as stubborn as an
army mule.
He had one oi nis better aays
when he marched up Capitol Hill
to present his $570,000,000 China
aid program. On the side, he gave
the house foreign affairs commit
tee a few foreign policy pointers
which the congressmen should
have known, but apparently
didn't. It was surprising and a
little alarming to see how politl
oallv biased some of them were
on what should be a strictly non
partisan measure.
The whole question of aid to
China has become something of a
political football. The republicans
seem to be for it because the
democratic administration has
been cagy on getting too involved
with Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek's Kuomintang government.
If the democrats were proposing
a $3,000,000,000 Chinese program,
it would be reasonable to expect
the GOP to be against It, as too
bie. or asking why the Chinese
didn't go to work and save themselves.
Confusion seemed to run from
Chairman Charles A. Eaton of
New Jersey, right on down. Dr.
Eaton said the program was a
surnrise." Secretary Marshall
had announced it was coming last
November. The only surprise in
for $300,000,000 aid had been
it was that the original estimates
upped to $570,000,000.
Rep. John M. Vorys (It., Ohio)
raised the point that since the

Chinese problem was 70 per cent
military according to the Chi
nese budget he could not under
stand why there had been a 10
months' embargo on arms ship
ments to China. The inferred
criticism was that the $570,000,000
program called for no military
aid.
. Secretary Marshall explained In
detail. He took full responsibil
ity for having stopped arms ship
ments from August, 1946, to May,
1947. He had done so because, as
Ambassador to China, he was try
ing to bring peace and unite the
Yenan and Nanking forces. He
could not mediate for peace on
one hand, while shipping arms to
Chiang Kai-shek's armies on the
other.
When he returned to the U. S.
as secretary of state, he author
ized granting of arms export li
censes. Since that time, the Chi
nese have made only one contract.
Vorys asked if the present aid
program was now too late or too
early. Marshall replied that; as
he saw the situation, there were
certain concrete things that had
to be done by the Chinese, or the
major part of the aid would be
wasted. It was a mistake, he said,
to view the situation as purely a
military problem.
He was asked by Rep. Helen
Gahagan Douglas (D., California)
what it was the Chinese must do.
Marshall said he could answer
publicly only in part. He item
ized: Develop a government not
restricted to a small group; clean
up waste and corruption; actively
consider the land problem and the
peasants. All these things he
called important In supporting a
guerrilla campaign and in fight
ing communism.
In answer to questions by Rep.
Walter H. Judd (R., Minnesota)
Marshall said that, as an army
officer, he had given the Chinese
advice for a year. He fold them
they must train their boys In the
army and give them leadership,
so they would not lose morale.

would be wasted. The advice was
ignored.
Secretary Marshall admitted (to
Judd that, if the U.' S. moved
away from the Chinese situation,
it would deteriorate rapidly. ,: He
said there was no third party
which could take over in China:
The secretary refused to say
how long it might be necessary to
give aid to China. Nor did. he
estimate how many billions it
