THAT WILDLIFE FEDERATION PT.AQTTO
Courtland Matthews, in an article in t.hp
of the Sunday Oregonian for September 5, told an interesting
siory 01 ine wont ana the achievements of the Oregon wild
life federation. "State Wildlife Setup Best" was the title of
tne piece and it began with a reference to the award to the
Oregon federation by the national body of a plaque in recog
nition fla llfnrt noxira mita if "nf U nnnnnli'.M
.... ... a l" v muni uuLnbajiuijlg ttti;ui'li.F-
hshments by a state group for the year 1945-46;" A picture
of the plaque is one of the article's illustrations.
; Matthews, described as a "Portland Free-Lance Writer",
iijiiifWN iiin f ii I n ir nHrnvTHTina wirn TnTO
Although such an award merited recognition by the press
nationally as well as in Oregon, not one word about it seems
. , to have gotten into the newspapers, apparently,because mem
, bers of the Oregon Wildlife federation, engrossed in the work
they have been doing, have neglected an important phase of
. that work telling the public of their accomplishments.
The free-lance writer is obviously not a reader of this news
paper, on the front page of The Bulletin on Saturday, May 29
last there was a picture of the plague in the hands of W. J.
Smith, past president of the Oregon federation, as he pre
sented it to James Loder, 1948 president. In the accompany
ing news story of the quarterly meeting of the federation con
cluded in liend the evening before appeared this paragraph
A highlight of the banquet last night was the presentation
of a national award plaque to the Oregon federation by Bill
Smith, former president of the organization. Smith received
the plaque at the St. Louis convention this spring and pre
sented it last night td James Loder, of Salem, president of
thp federation. . '
All of which is presented for the purpose of demonstrating
war, mere was wora or tne award in at least one Oregon news
paper and that the members of the federation, when they come
to Bend, get ample opportunity of telling the public of their
accomplishments and make use of it.

' ' THE GIANT'S BURDEN
The United States of America is the greatest country in
the world. It is commonly referred to as the wealthiest countrv
in the world. It is well that is is so for it is also the country
of the highest national per capita taxes and, barring Great
Britain, where national government discharges some of the
functions that are the province of local government in this
country, it Is the land of heaviest per capita debt burden.
Moreover, in the years beginning with 1939, the debt burden
here has increased in far greater measure than that in such
countries as Russia, The Netherlands, Great Britain, France,
Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Australia Canada and Finland. So
has the individual tax load.
The direct reason for all of this is that, in war time, the
United States was signing the check not only for its own ex
penses but for a considerable part of the) expenses of its al
lies, including Russia. In peace time, it'is still signing the
check although it is generally understood that Russia and
some of its satellites were very recently taken off the list of
eligibles.
Indirectly the reason is that the United States government
backed -its checks heavily in war time with promises to pay
instead of getting real money and having it to draw on. It
is still backing its checks in part with promises to pay. A
terrific sum (raised by taxes) goes for Tnterest on those
promises to pay.
It takes the wealthiest nation in the world to do such things
year after year. But even the wealthiest nation in the world
cannot keep on doing them forever.

HOOD RIVER MAKES AMENDS

' Amends were made at Mood
River today when funeral serv
ices, sponsored by the Veterans
Council of Hood River, were held
for frank Hachiya, Japanese

while trying to talk a group of
Japanese soldiers Into surrender
ing. Hachiya w;is born in Hood
River and went to school there,
yet his name, along wilh those of
other Hood River Nisei, was
stricken from the city's lienor roll
in an outburst of wartime bitter
ness. The Incident n roused nation
wide attention and brought both,
support and criticism to the Amer
ican Legion ost which led In the
purging of the honor roll.
Now time, aided by the general
record of the Japanese-Americans
who fought, died and were wound

working of the American creed

be congratulated on thus fully re

Washington (NEA) To say
that the country waits with baited
breath for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
to open his campaign for the
presidency is putting it mildly,
The build-up on "the New Dew
ey" has been terrific. Warren,
Vandenberg, Martin, Taft, Lodge,
Eisenhower, Dulles, Stassen and
other GOP big shots have been
pawing and pow-wowing almost
constantly since tne fnuaaeipnia
convention.
These are the men who have
been replying to Truman when
ever he stuck ms necK out. aui
Dewey himself has stayed strict
ly in the background on the
strong and silent side. In fact,
a careful run-through of the rec-
'ord since Phllly shows that Gov
ernor Dewey has publicly given
us the benefits of his wisdom
only half a dozen times.
He was for more aid to cmna
on June 25. He was for the bi
partisan foreign policy on June
zy. out ne crossed nis lingers ana
said the GOP would not bej bound
by policies on which it had not
been consulted by tne administra
tion. On June 30 he was for the
$65,000,000 loan to build the Unit
ed Nations headquarters.
un July 13 ne was tor liber
alization of the displaced persons'
law. Ten days later he agreed
with General Eisenhower that the
United States must stand firm in
Berlin. On Aug. 18 he favored
giving the Italian colonies back
to Italy under UN trusteeship.

It Is interesting to note that
ail these matters concern foreign
policy. Nowhere can you find
DeWey's latest views on farm
prices, the high cost of living,
housing, rent control extension,
tabor relations, public power, the
TVA, allocation of scarce mater
ials, aid to education, civil rights.
Henry Wallace, or any of the oth
er homely, domestic Issues that
are first concern of the American
people.
This record Is recited not to
be critical of Mr. Dewey. It is
merely an expression of eager
impatience to hear what the man
has to say for himself on domes
tic issues. The suspense is awful.
or comparison with the 1944
model Dewey; It is worth while
running over some of the major
speeches he made in that cam
He opened at Philadelphia right
after Labor day, calling he new
deal inept and inefficient. He
said the administration had been?
saved by the war and that it
planned to keep millions in the
army because that was cheaper
than taking care of them as unemployed.
At Louisville he came out for
an international police force, and
said the Washington wasters
wanted to set up an international
WPA. At Des Moines he said
the democratic administration
had piade no plans for the war
and had no plans for the peace.
At Seattle he praised the Wagner
act as a good and necessary law
and called for a stronger labor
department. At Portland he as
sailed the "indlspenslblo man."
e
At San Francisco in a major
economic speech he said the U. S.
was not going back to the days of
unregulated business and unpro
tected farm prices. Whether we
liked It or not, ho said, govern
ment was committed to economic
direction. At Los Angeles he
came out for extension of social
security. At Oklahoma City he
was for lower taxes. At Charles
ton, VV. Va he criticized the ad
ministration for harboring reds.
At St. Louis he came out for a
free Zionist state.

speech at New York, he accused

The congressmen saw tney

one thing and worried about some
thing else at the same time. Here
they were digging into tne busi
ness of fur and leather workers,
trying maybe to smoke out a red

back home talking to a lot of peo
ple of voting age.
Anyway, to get Dack to tne ital-
lan-born labor leader. John Gra
ham, investigator of the commit
tee, did most of the questioning.
He asked Mr. Lucchl if he joined
with others in asking the late
FDR to go easy on Earl Browder,
the American communist leader
who was having passport trouble.
Signed a Lot of Things
"Maybe I did sign that petition,"
answered the portly one. "I am
asked to sign a lot of things."
"Well," continued Graham, "did
you in the same year sign an open
letter to Mr. Roosevelt asking him
to see that Harry Bridges (west
coast maritime leader) not be deported?"
"Maybe l did," again replied
Mr. Lucchl.
Are you treasurer of the com
mittee to promote the election of
progressive candidates or union
officials?"
"I think so," replied the labor
man. "They gave me some Kind
of a job on the committee."
"Ever read tne uauy worner
(the communist newspaper) ?"
"Never." replied the witness and
then decided to change his mind.
Maybe I do once in a wniie, out
of curiosity. I understand a lot of
congressmen read it too. Maybe
for the same reason."
Mr. Lucchl adjusted his horn
rimmed eye glasses and pulled at
his tie. The $64 question would be
up in a minute.
It came from Chairman senwa-
be himself.
"Are you now,, or have you ever
been a member of the communist
party?"

'No," . snapped the witness.
And I don't believe In their doc

question. You don't ask a man
whether he's a Ku Kluxer or a
southern Baptist or a semi-pro
beanbag player, do you? It's the
same thing. None is against the
law."
The committee dropped that
line of questioning and turned to

report. It listed $154,000 in prom-
