NOT THE AVERAGE VOTER
The founding convention of the progressive (Henry Wal
lace; party in tnis state, according to a prcsH agent s handout,
will be composed of "delegates representing the average voter
of Oregon", a statement certainly open to serious question.
, Under the Oregon law it should be easy indeed to gain rec
ognition for a new political party if tne principles of the
party, or n its leaaersnip merit support. All that is. necessary
is to present to the secretary of state a petition with the signa
tures df registered voters equal to five per cent of the number
voting for all candidates for representative in congress at the
last previous general election.
Wallace supporters worked lonsr and arduously to obtain
this small fraction of voter strength much smaller in rela
tion to population than is at first apparent because ot thp
inactivity at any election of many who are eligible to vote.
Finally they made it, but how many of the signers are actually
in favor of the new party and how many lent the use of their
names to shut off the importunities of the petition pushers
is still open to conjecture. , ,
Granted full support by the owners of all names on the
petition there is still a mere five per cent, however, of the
number who participated in election of national representa
tives in 1946. Surely this is no cross section of Oregon voters,
nor can the delegates of so small a number be considered as
representative ot the average of Oregon voters.
A FINE REAPPOINTMENT
Just before the primaries George II. Flags recognized Gov-
ernor Hall's requirement that candidates lor elective office
should not continue to hold appointive offices by resigning
. from his post as public utilities commissioner. Then he ran lor
the republican nomination for secretary of state and lost the
decision. Now Governor Hall, who knows a good public utili
ties commissioner when he sees one, wastes no time in put
ting Flagg back in his old job as soon as the way is cleared
by return of John H. Carkin (Flagg's successor) to his former
position as supervisor of rail transportation, where he will
be able to continue to pile up credits toward his retirement
pay.
J it seems a good deal all around. The proprieties, as viewed
by the governor, have been satisfied, two state officials are
back on the jobs for which they are especially qualified and
everybody should be happy.
Yesterday's issue of our favorite newspaper carried an
nouncement that the second outdoor concert of the Bend mu
nicipal band will be given tonight in Drake park. On another
page of the same issue appeared a statement by the secretary
of the group which has adopted model plune construction and
flying as its hobby to the effect that there will be no more
" flying of the small, but extremely audible aircraft while con
certs are being presented. Both announcements are welcome.
It was interesting, while the convention nominating speech
es were going on last night, to hear Will Rogers (second edi
tion), refer to Harry S. Truman as the formulator of the plan
for European recovery. That, we suppose, is why it has always
been known as the Marshall plan.

Philadelphia, July 15 U'i How
' much smone is there in a smoke
tilled room?
Not as much us you would
think at the democratic conven
tion. I hud heard the city of Phila
delphia hud a smoko indicator
which it used to measure the pull
that once hung over the city.
I thought it must be a big hunk
of machinery. 1 called Herb
Packer, ut the city health office.
He said he was busy counting
smoke riiiRS at the moment, but
to come over.
As 1 walked Into Herb's office
he shook me by the hand and
offered me his smoke indicator.
It turned out to be a simple
chart made of paper. About the
'size of a postcard.
All you have to do Is squint
one eye, look lhroiih a little
hole. You're supposed to be :in
expert to do It, so 1 took an ex
pert along. Herb. He said the
thing to do is to hold the tiling
at arm's length and have a look
through the hole. "Compare the
smoke," Herb instructed, "with
the markings on the chart -determining
the shade In the chart
most nearly corresponding to the
density of the smoke."
We first went to President
Truman's headquarters. A cou
ple of old men were asleep In
there. Not smoking, of course.
No density.
Things perked up a little l
the headquarters of Senator Jo
seph O'Mahoney. The lolks from
Wyoming hail sllnvd up a 20
per cent density. It saitl on the
chart.
A lot of lovely ladies bail gath
ered In the spot held down by.
Paul V. MeNutt, who used to be
governor of Indiana ami who
wouldn't mind being vice presi
dent. Density -111 per cent.
And so it went. Krom dense
to denser.
Senator Allien Uurkley, Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida, and
so on. Density about the same.
No matter bow much smoke
you found In the various head
quarters, you could lie sure of
one thing. II was hot everywhere.

Sulem, Ore., July 15 Ul'i Ore
Ron will get about 1,000 displaced
persons from war-lorn Europe
each year tor the next two years,
and a governo.'s Lommlttee is
conducting a survey to see how
the DP's can be best accommo
dated. Action by the recent congress
will permit 200,500 displaced per
sons to enter the United Stutes.
The committee, named by Gov.
John H. Hall at the suggestion of
various church groups, is send
ing out questiomdrcs to various
civic organizations and other
groups to determine where and
how Oregon's quota of refugees
can be molded into the various
communities of the state.
Displaced persons will not lie
admitted to this country unless
there is previously arranged local
sjionsoiship. Those who desire
to become sponsors of such per
sons will have an opportunity to
communicate with the survey
committee.
Under existing conditions, dis
placed persons are being sup
ported in European camps by the
U. S. government ut the rate of
nboul $1 a day per person.
Many have skills and trades
that would make them valuable
citizens if they are given an op
portunity, one committee mem
ber explained. He pointed out
that these people have no place i
to establish themselves so long us h
they remain In Europe.
The committer felt that there
will not be any difficulty in plac
ing Oregon s DP quota. It was
explained that there exists a cur
rent need or practical nurses,
domestics. Institutional workeij,
I it 1 It us. cabinet makers and faun
laborers.
All displaced persons entering
the United States will be screen
ed by military and immigration
aidhoi hies with regard to health
and suitability for citizenship.
Under immigration laws, any
p-rson entering the United Slates
must have a sponsor who will
provide transuirtation and lv re
sponsible for the newcomer.

(NEA Wajthinuton CurrMutindenti
Washington (NEA) It Is very
easy to be led astray by wishful
thinking Aver this mix-up between
the Russian communists and Dic
tator Tito of Yugoslavia. It would
be nice if Tito would really defy
tne commie neirarcny and set up a
uaman dioc to nam KUBSian ex
pansion. But American experts
say mat is iar irom being in. tne
DOOK.
Those who have had time to an
alyze carefully such information
on the split as has come out of
Moscow, Prague, Warsaw and
Belgrade find a number of points
wmcn must be Kent clearly in
mind.
First, this Is no open personal
row between Stalin or Molotov
and Tito. Neither of these two top
Russians has made any official
statement on the case, though
mey may De Demna It.
Second, this is no row between
the government of the USSR and
the government of Yugoslavia.
Diplomatic relations have not
been broken. On the contrary
within the" past weeks Yugoslav
foreign minister Stahoje Simitch
was in Warsaw at a conference
called by Molotov to work out
plans for opposing allied unifica
tion of western Germany.
Where the trouble lies Is entire
ly within the world communist
movement. The blast against Tito
was Issued by the cominlorm
the communist information bu
reau set up In Belgrade last Oc
tober. Communist parties from
nine countries took part France
and Italy Included. Their purpose
was to fight the so-called "U. S.
expansion and aggression in mili
tary, strategic, economic and ide
ological spheres." Real target was
the Marshall plan.
American observers nave been
unable to find that Tito has back
slid on this. In September, 1947,
xugosiavia signed a four-year
$100,000,000 trade agreement with
British and U. S. zones in Ger
many, but this has been a barter
deal of mutual advantage.
Tito has had difficulties In car
rying out his five-year, $5,000,-
000,000 reconstruction plan. Rus
sian promises to help have not
Deen carried out in tun and ne nas
hud to look elsewhere. Last Jan
uary, for Instance, Yugoslavia
asked the World Bank for a $500,-
000,000 loan. It was not granted,
but the mere application would no
doubt be considered heresy by the
Kussians, wno are not bank mem
bers. ;
a a a
In 1945 Yugoslavia and the
USSR signed a 20-year treaty of
friendship which has not been
breached. Next, year Yugoslavia
signed another agreement to let
the Russians rebuild Yugoslav
war industries and re-equip her
army. In 1947 there was a barter
treaty. Texts of none of these
treaties has been made public, so
It is impossible to know how they
have been carried out.
One of the first comlnform
charges against Tito Is that his
government showed "an undigni
fied policy of underestimating
soviet military specialists." . . .
Soviet specialists were put under
guard.
Other complaints arc political
and economic. Normally Yugosla
via produces enough food for its
own use and a surplus for export.
Last year Tito "loaned" 30,000
tons of wheat to Rumania and
Hungary, then asked the U, S. for
relief. The U. S. replied that Yugo
slavs didn't need wheat, but did
send 50,000 tons of surplus pota
toes. If Yugoslavia is long on food
this year, Its peasants must be
producing. One of the comlnform
charges Is that these peasants lire
not properly communlzetl, but are
allowed to own land, hire labor,
sell crops. This is aliout us .specific
us any of the charges get to prove
that Tito s leaning toward the
west.
TMost of the complaint against
ito Is international communist
politics which only a highly skill
ed mechanic on comlnform ideol
ogical machinery can understand,
But when taken apart, It shows
little real evidence that Tito has
reformed in any way. As his own
renly to charges Indicates, his
nrinclnal aim is to establish
completely socialized regime in
Yugoslavia, not a aemocracy.

WAYNE MORSE IN CABINET?
(Medford Mall Tribune)
The United States News be
lieves Wayne Morse may be ask
ed to become a member of the
Dewey cabinet as secretary of the
interior always assuming a re
publican victory of course. The
editor doubts, however, that Sen
ator Morse would accept.
so do we.
We believe our Junior senator
would find his work in the senate
more to his liking and better suit
ed to his abilities. But In view of
the Important part Mr. Morse
took in the Dewey campaign
there Is no doubt he will be given
the offer of some Important post.
The wise boys can say what
they wish about the recent "un-
bossed" convention and the per
fect freedom of the candidate
from any campaign promises. But
Mr. Dewey will have political
debts, to pay, and he will pay
them as far as he Is able.
Senator Morse might suggest
the appointment of his colleague.
Senator Cordon, as the Capital
Journal of Salem has done, as
head of the department of the In
terior. In this case the appoint
ment would go to a very able man
and Oregon would be properly
recognized.
