CELEBRATION OBLIGATIONS
It is now nearly two months since Bend, through its stam
. pede and water pageant association, put on one of the most
successful Fourth of July celebrations ever held here. On this
fact we commented at the time and we refer to it now in con
nection with a. less pleasant phase of the affair the com
parison which must be made as to expenses and income. Get
ting down to cases, the 1948 celebration was in the red.
The present deficit is slightly more than $3,000. To get the
full picture it should be noted that $2,450 remaining in the
treasury from a year ago is included in the receipts. This
year's celebration failed to pay out, that is to say, by a matter
oi some o,ouu. expense oi the celebration had been close to
$20,000.
A considerable amount of the outlay, however, was the
cost of construction which will be made use of year after
year the cost of the arch and boom, of certain parts of the
lighting and seating. Possession of the assets thus 'acquired
should save for each of the next five years an expenditure at
least equal to tne $5,o00 that is the actual shortage this year.
As to the deficit, it is of course the intention of the celebra
tion organization that it should be met. How this will be done
remains to be announced. Obviously there are two ways avail
able one by asking for contributions, the other by liquida-
tion of assets. The assets that we have mentioned as accumu
lated this year can hardly be liquidated without implying an
intent to drop the water pageant. No one would seriously
consider this. There is another asset, however, a tract earlier
acquired as rodeo grounds to the south of Bend which, if sold,
should produce sufficient to take care of the celebration debt
as well as to restore the balance in the association treasury
which has now gone to meet current expenses.
Since the war there has been no major rodeo activity local
ly in connection with the celebration. The distinctive feature
of the two-night water pageant has apparently been enough
without it. Development of a rodeo grounds would be a tre
mendously expensive undertaking. The limited use which the
grounds would have hardly warrants expenditure of public
iunds. Without, public funds the improvement which was
originally in mind when the tract- was acquired is a long,
long way in the future.
Sale of this land is one way out. Perhaps, on the other hand,
it is not the way that the celebration organization will choose
to take. Its members may prefer to solicit the additional
money needed.
- Either way, it is to be expected that early action will be
taken. We are sure that there is no intention of allowing the
residual obligations of 1948 to hang over until 1949 and we
are equally sure that, rather than approve of such a course,
the people of Bend will dig down, pay up and get it over with.

Washington (NEA) Russian
government's hullabaloo over the
two soviet senooiteacners. Kasen-
kina and Samarjn, who don't
want to go home and do want to
stay in the United States, Is In
sharp contrast to u. s. govern
ment procedure when American
citizens want to denounce their
country and go all-out commu
nist. When Anabelle Bucar. of
Clairton, Pa., married a Russian
musician in Moscow and last Feb
ruary resigned her job in the
U. S. embassy at Moscow, there
was rio protest from this govern
ment. She was allowed to go
and do as she pleased.
Russian policy is just the op
posite. The soviet wants to hang
on to every last one of its citi
zens and not let any of them re
nounce communism. The Rus
sian carry It so far, of course,
that they won't even let the wives
of some 15 American citizens
who married Russian women
come to the U. S. The state de
partment protested to Moscow
about this 14 times since the end
of the war, and got no action.
. e
In one respect, the house un
American activities communist
spy ring investigation has back
fired on congress. Whittaker
Chambers testified that one elite
communst cell met In the home
of Henry Hill Collins, Jr., and
Elizabeth Bentley testified that
Charles Kramer had been a mem
ber of 'Victor Ferlo s spy ring.
Both Collins and Kramer have in
past years been employed as staff
members for congressional laves
tigating committees. So congress
has now learned how easy It is
to get suspects on Its own pay
roll, and that the executive
branch of the government has no
monopoly on employes said to
have simpathles with the. com
munists. .0
.
One of the big "secrets" which
spy queen Elizabeth Bentley
bragged about having picked up
for the communists during war
time was the date of the D-day
for the U. S.-British Invasion of
France. But the Harry Hopkins
memoirs now being printed seri
ally by Collier's magazine say
that In May, 1943, the Russians
were officially informed by the
U. S. government that D-day
would be in May, 1944. So Stalin
knew tills secret before Miss
Bentley found out about it..
i i i
Lawyers for some of the mdre
prominent men named by Whit
taker Chambers and Miss Bent
ley as having given information
to the communist spy rings are
now studying what grounds they
may have for bringing libel or
slander suits against the Inform
ants. Testimony presented un
der oath before a congressional
investigating committee is con
sidered "privileged." That Is, it
cannot be used as the basis for
a suit, the same as evidence sub
mitted in open court. But the
character and reputation of many
of those named may have been
injured or at least opened to sus
picion by the allegations made
against them. This may impair
their standings, their jobs or
their future. And if any of these
people can prove damage to their
careers, it is believed that they
may have grounds for action.
Biggest sport among govern
ment employes is comparing
notes on how many of the peo
ple named in the spy ring case
are known to watever group may
be crowded In a bus, seated
around a cafeteria table or loaf
ing at a snack bar. Alger Hiss,
Lauchlln Currle and Harry D.
White were of course top-rank
government officials. Lee Press
man, John Abt and Nathan Witt
were pretty generally known to
anyone who had had anything to
do with labor matters. Frank.
Coe, William Remington, Nathan
Silver-master, Duncan Lee, Harold
Glasser, and possibly one or two
others, were important enough to
rate private offices. All the rest
of the 25 people whose names
have been dragged through this
mire were relatively unknowns,
the little people of sovernmenr
civil service employment that
few outside their own offices ever
heard of. But they re famous
now.

President to Set
Deferment Rule
Washington, Aug. 26 tlPi A
selective service spokesman indi
cated today that it will be up to
the While House to set any mini
mum time that a potential draftee
must be married to rate a defer
ment. Speaking unofficially, he voic
ed belief that present regulations
defer all men who are married
at the time of their call by local
boards.
He emphasized, however, that
President Truman's order defer
ring husbands and fathers was
"merely a foundation" for the se
lective service system. He said It
could be amended lattr to say
specifically how long a man shall
have been a husband or father
to merit deferment.
His comment was evoked by
the rash of marriage license ap
plications that followed the presi
dent's order.

Another Vanpoit
Portland, Aug. 26 lp The

committee of the Portland hous

The committee, at its organiza
tion meeting here yesterday,
adopted a resolution introduced
by Marshall Dana of the Oregon

against "concentration camp"
projects like Vanport and in fa

Fish Food Supply
Reported Short
Portland, Aug. 26 (Special)
Raising an unprecedented num
ber ot legal-sized trout this year,
the Oregon state game commis
sion has had to obtain fish food
from all over the United States.
Carload lots of food have been
purchased from as far away as
Texas, Georgia and Minnesota In
recent months.
The development of many uses
far moat hv.nrnrlimtR has caused
a serious scarcity for all game
departments tnai raise iroui. i
the same time many different
uses have been developed for fish
by-products which are also used
extensively for trout feed In the
Oregon hatcheries. The available
supply of commercial fish meals
has also diminished due to the
fact that there is now an increas
ed demand for the ingredients
that go into the manufacture of
these meals.
During the year of 1947 almost
two and a quarter million pounds
of food was fed to the trout in
the hatcheries operated by the
Oregon state game commission.
In the first seven months of 1948
the consumption of feed in these
hatcheries was in excess of 150
tons more than for the same pe
riod in 1947. At the same time
the cost of these feeds has sub
stantially Increased, many of
them now costing double and
some of them as much as three
times as much as in pre-war
times.
"Many people do not realize
the enormous amount of food
that it takes to operate our
hatcheries," C. A. Lockwood,
Bulletin Classifieds bring results.
