WHAT THE PICTURES SHOW
Off and on through much of the past year we have been
mentioning the Bend district's quonset Hchools. It has been
a little difficult to describe them, to convey full realization of
just what they would be like or how an adequate, permanent
school building could be made from the metal shells that the
army found so useful for quick erection and temporary occu
pancy in the second world war.
We are afraid that no small number of people in Bend were
somewhat averse to the use of quonset schools, in spite of the
manner in which three of the units had already been made to
alleviate shortage in room space at the Kenwood building.
Had it not been for the economy involved, the very substan'
tial saving in taxes which the quonsets represented, the plan
ning of two grade buildings keyed on this type of structure
would, we are sure, have met with more opposition than was
actually apparent.
Now, however, we have the proof of the pudding. The new
' buildings are in use and yesterday we were happy to show,
in a front page photographic reproduction,- the attractive ex
terior of one of them and the equally attractive Interior of
one of the classrooms, complete with pupils and teacher. We
were especially glad to be able to present this showing for the
Marshall and the Yew lane schools, both of the quonset type,
while admirably located for the neighborhoods which they
serve, are somewhat off the beaten path. The majority of
school patrons, it is our guess, had not visited them while
they were under construction and, even now, would have no
direct acquaintance with them.
But the pictures tell the story. It was already known that
new structures are low cost, as buildings go today. It will
now be accepted that they are adequate in design, practical
in execution, substantial in their construction and pleasing in
their appearance. The pictures bear out our earlier statements
that they are today the best school buildings in Bend. The
entire district, we know, will have full cause to be proud of
them, .. -
Dewey to Visit
Oregon Sept. 27
Portlund, Sept. iU') Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
will spend one day in Portland,
Sept. 27, on his first stumping
tour 'ol the nation as the repub
lican presidential nominee.
National G.O.P, committeeman
Ralph H. Cake said Dewey's
Portland appearance would be his
only -Oregon stop. He plans to
open his campaign swing in Des
Moines, la., with a speech Sept.
20.
FRECK'S RIGHT TO REFUSE
In the feud between Chairman Freck of the liquor control
cornmissidn and Governor Hall, the Oregon City Enterprise
sees nothing but insubordination on the part of Freck who, it
suggests should resign. It adds, "there is nothing in the pub
lished circumstances that makes us feel that the governor
went beyond his rights in asking his appointee to step down
right or wrong".
Surely the governor was within his rights, but where the i
insubordination comes in is a little difficult to see. Freck was
also within his rights in refusing, according to the implica
tions of the law; If, moreover, his acts as member or chairman
of the commission were contrary to the governor's wishes,
then we would point out that the governor did exceed his
rights In attempting to tell the commissioner what to tio. ,
As a matter of fact, we have no knowledge that the gover
nor did seek to impose his will upon the commission. Freck
says he did ; the governor says he didn't. Aside from this, the
governor's charges, if proved, are cause for dismissal. As we
have earlier noted, it will not be necessary to prove them in
order to remove the commissioner but, if we appraise Gover
nor Hall's character correctly, he will make every effort to
produce the proof.
Either way, there may be no question about Commissioner
Freck stepping down. At the moment there seems no likeli
hood that the step will be taken voluntarily.
As far as the counter-charges, which the commissioner has
made against the governor, there is no seeming possibility
that they will be aired at the hearing which the governor has
called and which he will conduct. Governor Hall has already
indicated that he will consider such matter as irrelevant.
Whether Freck's counsel one of the ablest criminal lawyers
in the state will be able to prevail against the governor in
this respect, remains to be seen. It should be a contest worth
watching if the governor permits it to become a contest.,
Henry A. Wallace is going back south for more. He and has
' advisors seem to regard results of the past week as' worth
while in spite of the eggs and tomatoes perhaps because of
them. If he really enjoys the assorted offerings of the south
land, we can understand his plans for visiting Texas. The
Lone Star state, we are sure, must be looking forward to the
event.

Column

(NBA WoAhinKton Curreiuiontlent)
Washington (NEA) The indl
catcd Moscow agreement to lift
the blockade from western Ger
many to Berlin may at first glance
look like a victory for the United
States, Britain and France. The
off-setting victory for the Rus
sians is the right to have their
money used in all four sections of
Berlin. Whoever controls the
money of any area may be said to
control Its economy.
There are supposed to be four
power consultations on control of
the money in eastern Germany.
But four-power management of
other postwar problems has been
notoriously unsuccessful.
So it would be wrong to say tnat
the Moscow negotiations between
Premier Stalin, Molotov, Ambas
sadors Smith, Roberts and Cha
taigneau represent a victory for
anybody or a settlement of any
thing. ,
v e
The agreement does provide a
convenient opportunity for a cold
war review, to see wnere 'Botn
sides stand. Battles that the Unit
ed States and its allies have won
Include these:
1. The communists have been
defeated in French and Italian
elections. They have taken a set
back In Finland.
2. The Marshall plan for west
ern Europe recovery seems to be
catching on, though It is only five
months old.
3. The so-called Truman doc
trine for aid to countries combat
ing communism seems to be work
ing. Without it, Greece at least
and possibly Turkey might now
be under soviet domination, uus
slan aggresion in Iran has been
cheeked. ',: ..
4. American, urmsn ana rencn
zones of western Germany have
achieved a degree of economic
unilv. A start has been made on
setting up a provisional German
government.
5. f ounuauons nave Deen mm
for building a western European
union for greater political, econ
omic and mutual defense co-op
eration.
fi. Amerlean.Br t sh and French
occupation forces are determined
to stick it out in Berlin.
7. Political refugees! from be
hind the Iron curtain are escaping
intu non-communist territory in
increasing numbers. Olympic ath
letes who refused to go home af
ter the London games and the
breaks for freedom by the two
Russian teachers in New York in
dicate that all is not happiness in
the communist paradises.
8. The Cominform's break with
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia Is an
other indication of lack of unity.
9. A provisional, democratic
government has neen set up m
the U. S. zone of Korea, but its
strength Is uncertain.
10. Tho United States controls
the situation in Japan.
.
Against these favorable factors
are a number of events which
must be chalked up as communist
victories:
1. The communist coup In
Czechoslovakia was a hard blow.
a. Poland and Czechoslovakia
and possibly Yugoslavia also were
prevent irom co-operation un
der the Marshall plan.
3. Poland, Bulgaria, Romania,
Hungary. Czechoslovakia and Al
baiiia have abandoned democracy
for communist dictatorship.
1. Writing of a peace treaty
with Austria is stalemated.
5. The Danube river pact Just
dictated by Russia and okayed by
her six satellites was a cieiume
setback for western Ideals.
G. Resumption of East -West
trade, which is necessary for full
European recovery, seems re-
mole. Even reparations payment
are blocked-both ways. For all
practical purposes, Europe is tn
vided.
7. Unification of Germany and
tile writing of a peace treaty witli
a new (iermany has Deen enee
lively blocked by the Russians.
8. Agreement on government of
Trieste Is similarly blocked.
1. There is no Immediate pros
pect for unity in Korea.
10. Effective operation of tin'
United Nations has been made Im
possible by refusal of the commit
nist countries to join most UN
agencies or to collaborate on most
issues.

Washin gt on Scene

(UniUd Press Staff Correspondent)
Atlantic City, N. J Sept. 9 UP
One of the most interested per
sons at the greatest shank show
on earth was an 18-year-old kid
in silver rimmed eye glasses.
The show was the annual pa
rade yesterday of pretty hopefuls
in the annual Miss America beau
ty pageant.
our young iriena sat on tne
front row of the bleachers keep
ing one wide eye cocked on his
program and the other on tne
passing parade of limb, lin and
pretty marcel. He didn't miss a
thing.
"Throw me a kiss, honey," he d
shout at each contestant. -Most
ctf them did and Aaron Miller, a
polio victim sitting in a wheel
chair woultl throw a kiss right
back and then get busy with his
pencil and pad.
Keeping hoore
"I'm keeping score on these
babies," he told me. "Starting
from a "minus 10 on up. I'm a
pretty good judge of pretty
things and Id say its between
Miss Utah, Miss Detroit and that
nice kid from Kansas."
Aaron, shaded by a hat made
out of yesterday's newspaper, was
one ol some laO.UOO who lined
the boardwalk to watch the 55
hopeful candidates show off their
evening gowns and other charms.
The girls, from the 48 states, a
number of cities and territories,
get down to business tonight
when the judging begins to pick
Miss America.
Aaron was the life of his party
and the center of attraction in
front of pageant headquarters.
He led the cheering and jeering
section. He 'laughed fit to kill at
three fat ladies inserted into" the
parade as cornie relief. Their float
bore a sign which said "I don't
wanner."
Everybody in Atlantic City, it
seemed, tried to plunge Into the
beauty swim. All hotels sponsor
ed a float and placed aboard lo
cal lovelies In fluffy, flimsy garb
many of whom could not be
told from the national contest
ants without a program.
It was hotter than satan's hide
out there in the sun. The man
agement had warned the gals to
rub on the sun lotion for the long
afternoon of silting and standing.
Most of 'cm instead wore pleas
ant smiles aimed at the Judges
and movie cameramen.
Blistered Racks
There was many a blistered
back at the end of the boardwalk
trail.
Me, I was cool like tho proverb
ial old cucumbers. I went native,
ripping oM?n my shlrtfront and
taking off my tie. I even bought
a parasol. When the performance
was over I went back to the
Brighton hotel and took a salt
water bath.
As I walked into the lobby, an
old-timer in wrinkled seersucker
suit was echoing snores all over
the place.
The management said the man,
probably the only person in town
who missed the parade, had been
there all afternoon.
The old duffer told mo later
he's seen 22 of "these here pa
rades." "All alike," he said.

TODAY'S KOLNDIP
By Malcolm Kpley
(Klamath Herald & News)
Overheard at a local service
club luncheon: "Republican can
didates should stay out of air
planes until after the election."
. . Does that mean no one cares
what happens- to a republican
after he gets Into office? ... In
behalf of a good neighbor of ours,
we resent the Implications in the
statement by "Klondike Kate"
that she is moving out of Bend
into the Willamette valley to get
away from "rough life . . .
Mounting animosity of Klamath
fans toward baseball umpires is
evidence that this is getting to be
a real baseball town in the tradi
tional sense of the term ... It is
to be hoped the current liquor
commission squabble can be
cleaned up with no hangover . . .
Some very high-minded and ethi
cal statements have been made
about that matter of throwing
eggs and tomatoes at Henry Wal
lace, with which we agree entire
ly .. , But we have observed that
some of the indignation comes
from folks who thought it was all
right to pepper Wendell Willkle
with bad eggs in 1940 . . , And I
remember that Mr. Truman, who
made one of the aforementioned
statements, Intimated strongly
at San Bernardino not long ago
that he would like to give Sena
tor Tatt a ripe egg ... A lot de
pends, it seems, on who Is the tar
get. .
