The report, made by a trained park administrator, Mark H. Astrup, was printed in The Bulletin yesterday. We trust that it was-studied by many of our readers. We should like to feel that the recommendations that Mr. Astrup had made were read with the same care that would be given to plans for the improvement of a citi zen's home grounds. Shevlin park is home grounds for every citizen of the community. It is no exaggeration, we think, to say that it is now at a critical stage. Use of the park has multiplied. There will be more and more use and it is essential that the loose controls of the past be ended. Unless some of Mr. Astrup's major recommendations are followed the park will begin to lose its quality and Bend will suffer a great loss. Back in 1941 we editorialized on the park in this column and we think that what was said at that time is worth re peating. Our description of the park is still good. Our prophecy has been confirmed. The needs we pointed out over seven years ago are, except in minor degree, more urgent than before. Here is that editorial from The Bulletin of January 27, 1941: One of the finest assets of this community and it has many is Shevlin park. The park consists of several miles of the canyon of Tumalo creek up stream from the old fish hatchery. Included in it are the canyon floor of various widths through ,' which the stream flows and the steep, though not very high, side slope that rise to the plain above. Ponderosa pine some of the trees being fine specimens are scattered over the side slopes and the floor and there is also an intermingling of other trees, chiefly larch and poplar. There is much growth of shrubs and flowers not found anywhere else nearby. These and the water of the creek mean that birds are attracted to the area and the water brings also deer from the higher lands above. Boys frequent the park for fishing and .camping and their elders picnic and gather in group meetings on the two open, grassy meadows. AH of the foregoing is pretty well known, we Imagine, to almost everybody hereabouts who reads these words. It has seamed important to write them and to try to bring home a better realization of Just what the park is and what It means for the time is rapidly coming when it is going to mean a great deal more even than it does at the present time. It is going to mean more, that is, if it is given proper care. Without the care and the' brdtection that are essential it may come to mean noth ins at all.; ' The time of which we speak apnroach.es because within the year Brooks-Scanlon will begin logging beyond the Tumalo canyon and in connection with the removal of the company's operations to that section the road out to the park is to be improved. All this means that the canyon area, now naked on the south side from earlier logging, will shortly stand equally exposed on the north except, of course, for such trees as may be left standing in the selective logging that it is hoped will be practiced. At the same time that this is going on the improved road is going to draw many more visitors to the park. The existence of the Brooks camp community will mean a larger ' use of the park. - , -. . - . - ' These conditions the greater use'of the park and the promi nence It will assume when it becomes the only nearby place of shade and trees and shrubs and flowers and a running stream are going to give It a value far beyond that that it now has. It is time to take the fact into account and to make plans for the future. One thing that should be done, If possible, Is to secure the enlargement of the park. The canyon area up stream from tho present boundary Bhould be added. It is most unfortunate that some logging has been done up stream this winter and a road bulldozed through from a logging rather than a park outlook but time may heal the scars. There should be some road improve ment. Fences should be placed to keep stock out. Dead wood should be cleaned up and the advice of a forester sought on thinning the stands of small pine. Let there never be what goes by the name of a general clean up. So far the city authorities have taken very little interest in the park. It has been abused as well as used and the abuses multiply. Now the time has come when, if the park is to be made what it can be made, its beauties preserved and its use fulness enhanced, attention should be paid to it.

Nichols (United I'reae Staff Correspondent) Washington, May 15 (Ui The Culbertson system was placed, face up, before congress. It had, of course, nothing to do with leading with the fourth from highest In the longest and strong est suit. Or how to plot a grand slam with only three aces between you and jack-high in the odd suit. But Ely Culbertson, the old bridge expert, was there. He was appearing before tho house for eign affairs committee with n super-dupor formula for world peace. Ely, a familiar figure at bridge tournaments and world peace meetings, was a study in diplo matic dignity ex-of ficlo In n blue-black suit and a high-collar ed shirt with a buttorlsh tint.

And just thinking of those Rus sians, ho made a face. About the only thing he got out of life In the Soviet, he said, was a sour puss and know-how at the card table. It was In a czarlst prison, where he was getting a painful slap on the wrist for helping to whip up revolutionary fever, that he learn ed about the fine game we know as bridge. Which is beside the point. He referred to the Soviets, get ting back to the point, as "those godless fanatics." The way to handle Russia and get her on our side, said Ely, Is to offer to her our hand in marriage. The dignified committee mem bers squirmed a little, looked at one another a little and crooked a collective brow a lot. Ely made a mental note and yanked off his horned-rims. He hastened to add, with an apolo getic smile, that he didn't mean a real, down - the-mlddle-of-the-aisle wedding. Just playing with words, he said although he implied that a snot gun might be necessary. What he meant, he said, was that the United Nations charter, bless It, ought to be re-Jiggered. With Russia included, if possible; without, if necessary. Culbertson called his scheme the ABC plan. A Elimination of tho . unre stricted veto. B Abolition of the atomic threat and the race to re arm. And C A new kind of world police force. - As simple as well, A. B. C. Ely said he was living in a sort of mental fog excuse It. Not his own. He's confused, he said, Just from looking at the complicated United Nations business and studying the methods suggested to remedy same. Take this very week, he said. And Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Grand Rapids, who Introduced a resolution before the senate foreign relations committee. "Heavens," said Ely, "I smell a ghost In that one." To Ely's mind It had all the earmarks and side glances of the 'state department. Certainly (Ely speaking) none of the deft and brilliant toucnes oi tne vanay we all know and love. Article one of the resolution, the bridge player allowed, was so written to make it look like a promise to reform the UN, God willing. "But only a Philadelphia law yer, an international expert or pardon a bridge expert could unravel the real meaning," he said. "The Vandenberg resolu tion needs a re-write Job. With teeth. And a dentist standing by to fix 'em. Then the Russians will find themselves all dressed in their war .bonnet with no place to go."

V. Phillip, Pastor THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND. OREGON Washington Column By Teter Edson (NEA Waahinirton Correepondent) Washington, D. C. Whatever draft law congress comes up with Is going to be hammered out In compromise after the senate and the house pass their somewhat different bills to strengthen the armed services. It's therefore too early to get worried about speci fic proposals In either bill. But there are a few other aspects of this new national defense effort that It might be well to look over with both eyes open. One of them Is what it's going to cost. The other is what It's going to do a everyday business In the civilian economy. Defense secretary James V. Forrestal gave a couple of good peeks at the latter when he testi fied before the scrappy house armed services committee Just be fore the committee approved Chairman Walter Andrews house draft bill. Forrestal said flatly he didn't want control of the civilian econo my. But with congress going home for the summer, he thought it would be wise to give him cer tain limited powers. First he wanted power to get scarce raw materials. . The second thing Forrestal wanted was power to take over the manufacturing capacity of plants which could make scarce Items like. Jet engines. A little noticed section 17 .of the house bill would give the president this power. It isn't anything new. It was contained In the draft acts of 1916 and 1940, although it was used In only a few case's In the last war. All this Is highly interesting. It indicates that defense planners want something like the old war time priorities system put back in force to make sure the military gets its wishes Air force procurement officers have been handing out the line that there would be no materials shortages to interfere with their 70-group program. But here it is right from the big boss himself that there will be shortages. He wants controls put back on. Rep. James E. Van Zandt of Altonna, Pa., gave a few argu ments that these scarcities might be handled by voluntary alloca tion agreements among produc ers. He mentioned oil as an ex ample. There is only one such agreement in force now. It's in the steel industry, which allocates some metal to a few essential manufacturers like the nail, soil pipe and freight car makers. Secretary Forrestal explained Wilson's Refrigeration Efficient Quality Service & Repairs ALL TYPES AND MAKES OF MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION South Phone Highway 97 1648-W that there had to be exemption from the anti-trust laws before suppliers could get together on allocations. So may be that's In the offing. What all these things add up to Is the likelihood of greater scarcities, more competition with civilian production, and higher prices. As for the cost of this whole new defense effort, Rep. Leon Harry Gavin of Oil City, Pa., pointed to some very pertinent figures. The original military budget for next year was esti mated at $11,000,000,000. To this have now been added supple mental appropriations of $4,200, 000.000. This makes the total $15,200,000,000. Maj.-Gen. John E. Dahlqulst, in charge of plans for the new draft bill for all three services, recent ly estimated that the selective service law would cost $2,100, 000,000 a year to operate. That would make the total $17,300,000, 000. But now, Gavin pointed out, it is being proposed to add some thing new to this in the way of peacetime lend-lease for rearming the western European nations. Gavin wanted to know what this would cost? Secretary Forrestal answered that a foreign military aid pro gram had not taken form anl there was no plan. Technically, he may be right. But anyone with two eyes can see it coming. And on top of the present de mands for materials for the $6, 000,000,000 European recovery plan, it's going to cost plenty. Hang on to your hats, boys and girls. Here we go for another sleigh-ride. American motor vehicles re quire about 20,000 tons of steel every year for license plates.
