Rus sian obstructionist tactics are at the back of all this, chiefly because Russia prefers to take independent action and has been taking it steadily behind a screen of wordy argument, meaningless debate and accentuation of the negative. How effective all this has been can be seen in the Palestine situation although, to be perfectly honest about it,- the mess in that part of the country is as much the result of the inept policy making of the American administration as of the genius for trouble making demonstrated by the brainy lads of the Kremlin. It was at the insistence of this country that the deal was put through (Russia agreeing, for there was an unequal led opportunity for trouble making) for partition of Pal estine between the Arabs and the Jews. Pronouncement of the policy fanned ordinary friction between the two Semitic peoples into white-hot conflagration. Since then UN (odd; we are constantly on the verge of referring to it as the league of nations) has done nothing but beseech the flames to burn less fiercely. UN has no fire department. It was supposed to have by now, but it has never quite got around to it. So we have war again. At the moment it's a long way off geographically. But it has wonderful potentialities for inter esting individual nations, especially as UN is both powerless and unwilling to do anything about it. If the individual nations become too keenly interested they may presently be taking part in it. Britain's socialist government, in no way sharing Winston Churchill's disinclination to preside at the dismem berment of the empire, has withdrawn from its mandate with every indication of relief. The United States, which immedi ately recognized the brand-new Jewish state of Israel, is watching the struggle between forces of the Arab league and ?ihe small, but exceedingly tough Jewish army. Britain is j watching, too, but without sign of recogintion. And Russia's Molotov is also watching and almost certainly pondering on ways and means of turning the troubles in Asia Minor to the advantage of the soviet dictatorship. CROP STATISTICS From the Boise office of the bureau of reclamation comes a news release reporting the value of crops raised in "15 federal reclamation projects In the Pacific northwest.", Surprised at finding in the list of projects the Deschutes with a net area of 64,963 acres in cultivation we made inquiry and learned that since the Crane prairie dam had been built by the bureau the C.O.I, was rated as a federal project. Such classification seems to us to be stretching things some what but without arguing the point we are ready to say that : the figures.it gives are interesting. These are ' Net area Gross crop value Per-acre value C.O.I. 41,465 $5,048,233 $121.75 North Unit ; 13,498 , 1,349,420 99.97 It would be worth while to have such statistics collected an nually for all the irrigation districts in the central Oregon region. , After a rain, when the sun shines again, the dandelions come out in abundance. At that time, too, they are most sus ceptible to the baneful influence of 2,4-d. What the stuff will do may be seen from the dead dandelions that cover so large a proportion of city park area.

Then they skcedaddle back to where they were In the first place. For instance, Wednesday: The house wrs called to order at the bewitching hour of 10 a.m. to con tinue the debate on the Mundt Nixon bill, which would lasso the commurlrts. The biu.zor buzzed about 9:45. The boys came running Into the gallery t '.routing "here" anil ran out again. Without meaning to give any thing away, maybe, Cong. Her man P. Eberharter of Pennsyl vania explained it. He said he thought it wis a little silly to spend three preel his duys of the fuding season Just burning the ears of the reds. - "Everybody knows," said he, "that this rebate business sel dom, if ever, influences the final vote." His audience aid small heed. Congressmen like to hear them selves talk, he said. They like to get their stuff in the record in case some vo(er gets snoopy ami looks it up to tua if his servai.t is serving. Mr. Eberharter bowed to the hand of the dock as his time was up. His remarks had no effect. The debate went on. Loud and bitter and long. The communists were catching it from all corners. Those who were against the Mundt bill made it clear they were against Joe Stalin. The measure, they argued, goes too far. Rep. Emanuel Cellar of New York said he thought the penal ties for tipping too far to the left are too strong. Why, he boomed, It says there that you could be sentenced to 10 years and fined $10,000 for every day you refused to own up that you looked to Moscow for guid ance. "That could send a man to Jail for 100 or 200 years or more," he said. "And fine him a couple or 10 million dollars." Cong. John Rankin of Tupelo, Miss., a bushy haired man, was up to bat next. John is a two microphone speaker. There are two of 'em on the house floor and he skates from one to the other as he talks. It's lucky both of the mikes have long cords be cause this time John almost land ed in the laps of his colleagues in the front row. He gave the professors of the country the business. He said he had had a lot of fan mail from the profs. "They all sound like reds." whooped John. "If they're so smart, why don't they take up law?" There was a lot more pro and con. A fat congressman In a blue summer suit, sitting in the back of the hall on the republican side, could be heard snoring clear up in the press gallery. Come vote time, and a page boy gave him a gentle nutige. The fat man voted Just like everybody knew he would.

H. "Doc" Hall Washington Column Bv Peter Edson (NBA Washington Correspondent) Washington (NEA) The real reason why the U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Lleut.-Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, was sent to see Foreign minister V. M. Molotov at this particular time had noth ing to do with world politics. It had to do with goin flshin'. For two months, Ambassador Smith has been wanting to go fishing. He had been cooped up in Miornu; nTl winter, and he had a vacation coming. He wanted to spend it wltn a lew ciose per sonal friends not diplomats angling the streams of Norman dy,' .. . In Washington, secretary mar shall had a chore he wanted Smith tn nerform In Moscow. He wanted Smith to go see Molo tov and straignien out a iew wrong ideas the communists tn hfivp ahnut American politics and American foreign policy. , Marshall's problem was wheth- n. tn hava Amhncsnrlnr Smith do this Job before he went fishing or after. Marshall finally decided that, if smith naa poor iuck on hi.. ftcVifnn ttin It mlo-ht snnil tha negotiations. So the ambassador was told to go call on Molotov betore he went iismng. Thus ara tha crpar rlpdslnnp. of diplomacy made. The Smith-Molotov conferenc es were handled strictly accord ing to protocol rules. Smith first -had to notify the soviet foreign office that he wanted to come and talk to Molotov. Smith also had to tell in advance exactly what he wanted to talk about. That gave Molotov a chance to decide whether he would see Smith. It also gave Molotov a chance to study up and see what he would say in reply. After that was figured out. Smith was told he could .call. ... He came and . delivered his piece, bj word of mouth. Molotov then replied, orally. Smith then made- his reply to that, orally. But afterwards the two diplo mats sent each other written memoranda, outlining what each had said to the other. All this monkey business is ac cepted practice. In negotiations of this kind, it is customary for the exchange of views to be kept secret, unless both parties agree to publication. There was no men tion of making their remarks public in this case. Having done what he was told to do, Ambassador Smith was ready to leave Moscow for his fishing trip. And right there is where Molotov pulled a double cross. Without asking Smith's permission, Molotov gave out through the Moscow press and radio the text of Smith's original remarks and Molotov's reply, a a This was given to the world at a time when all the American of ficials were at home in bed. They had to be routed out at midnight to set the record straight and to bring out the fact that Molotov Portland and Bend to five hours and 50 minutes, arriving in Bend at 12:20 a. m. rhone 240 had twisted Smith's statement around to give the Impression that Its principal purpose was to ask for a conference to talk things over. This was actually a minor point in Smith's presentation. It was merely a repetition of what Pres ident Truman had said In his speech of last March 17: "The door has never been closed, nor will it ever be closed, to the sov iet union or to any other nation which genuinely cooperates in preserving the peace." It was nothing new. But the Russians made it seem new and world shaking. U.S. diplomacy was caught flat footed by this propaganda trick. President Truman had to issue a new statement next morning and the state department had to give out that part of Smith's remarks which Molotov had not chosen to make public. But, as In all these things, de nials and corrections never catch up with the original mis take. The Russians scooped the world and gave everyone the wrong impression by diplomatic trickery. This is one of the risks that has to be taken in dealing with the communists, and by now this kind of behavior is expected. The Important question is how much damage this may have done to the cause of peace. Secretary Marshall admits, that, in the long run, It may have helped It.
