' SAGE BRUSH. GRAZING AND WHEAT
A good deal of publicity was given recently to a Lake county
undertaking for the eradication of sage brush on an area that,
it was hoped, would then come back in bunch grass or other
range grasses suitable for stock. Having read of this enter
prise we have been interested to learn that in the sage brush
region north-west from Salt Lake and extending up toward
the Idaho border an extensive acreage is being cleared of sage
brush, but in a ditterent manner and with a different end in
. view.
In the Lake county operation, as we understood it, the pur
pose was particularly to demonstrate the types of equipment
available to clear land of sage brush. Some of it took out the
brush which was then gathered for burning. Some merely
plowed it up or tore the above-ground plant from its roots
, which were left in the ground. What was then done by way of
planting we have not learned.
In this north-west Utah undertaking, on the other hand,
ordinary plowing methods were used and no effort made to
gather the brush for burning. The brush was simply left
though cut up as finely as was possible with the equipment
used. Then the land was planted to wheat. In the course of
time the broken sage, we understand, disintegrates and re
turns, to the soil.
The purpose here, of course, was not to demonstrate sage
eradication methods. It was to prepare the land for the pro
ductions a needed grain crop. Modern machinery made it
possible to plow up the sage at a cost that, with the price of
wheat what it is, justified the program. The particularly in
teresting comparison with the Lake county demonstration was
in the fact that the sage was being plowed in for ultimate
assimilation by the soil rather than being burned, and in the
(immediate use to which the cleared land was being put the
production of wheat.
Hundreds of acres are being given this treatment down in
Utah. Many of them are in sight from the highway route,
U. S. No. 305. Time only will tell whether this is a worth while
undertaking. Land similarly treated for wheat production
near American lake in Idaho after the first world war was, in
time, abandoned and now is in bad condition.'
k Out own guess is that the ideal to be sought is a range that
will be suitable for grazing and that is managed toward that
end. Before later day mistreatment such was the condition of
these wide western acres. Wheat may offer a quick profit but
experience suggests that it cannot be looked to for permanence
and that to undertake to raise wheat means, in the long run, a
loss of true values. : ,
LICENSE SALES IN DESCHUTES
The importance to Deschutes county of its fishing and hunt
ing resources is emphasized by a summary of the 1947 sale of
hunting and angling licenses by counties. In Deschutes 7,184
licenses were bought by hunters;, 12,799 licenses by anglers.
In the state as a .whole the Deschutes standing was 10th in
the sale of hunting licenses and ninth in the sale of angler's
licenses. '
In the state east of the mountains the Deschutes position
is higher. Only in Umatilla and Klamath were more hunting
licenses sold than in this county in 1947 and only in Klamath
more angling licenses.
These are important statistics. .

Column
By Douglas Larue n
(NEA WaHhfnifton Correspondent)
Waslilngton (NEA) A phrase
was coined here the other night
at a big party which is probably
the tip-off on the start of a big
new campaign by the advocates
ol greater air. power tor tne u.s.
Famed world war' I air ace,
Capt. Eddie Rlckenbacker, presi
dent of Eastern Airlines, was the
host. The party was a preview
of a new movie short put out by
Eastern called. "Air Power Is
Peace Power." 'Eddie is the star
of the film.
About 1500 of the nation s top
military men, government offi
cfals and politicians were there.
Even when congress is in session
and the city is lull of big shots
it's tough to get such a top-
drawer collection of brass at one
function. About the only digni
tary missing was President Tru
man himself. -Several of his cab
inet officers were there for him,
however.

After the shoeing of the movie,
which mostly extolls the great
ness of the Constellation airplane
and also plugs for increased air
power for America, Eddie made a
speech. The big air force brass,
which was probably more In evi
dence than respresentatlves of the
otner services, settled DacK to
listen to a discussion of their
favorite topic, more airplanes for
tne air torce.
But even they, who thought
they had heard every argument
for more air power, were a little
surprisd by some of the things
Captain Eddie had to say. The
phrase Eddie coined which tickled
them to death was: "When world
peace through air power hangs on
the element of time let us buy
time, even If we have to spend
millions as if they weremarbles,
and billions as if, they were
beans."'
This was pulling out all of the
stops. Spending millions like
marbles and billions like beans
was the way America had to buy.

Then came the drastic postwar
tut in aircraft orders. The man-
ufactuers and the air force gen
erals screamed.
The tense foreign situation bol
stered their argument for more
airplanes. And they finally con
vinced congress and the country
that Increased air power was
worth the price of a 70-group
force.

We commented here the other day on the wasteful practices
of the Library of Congressn trying to publicize its current

tion of Federal Employess. This organization has been holding
a convention and for days there came pouring in reports of the
meeting, summaries of addresses and other news. Perhaps
some of this material some papers have used and we make no
criticism of the fact that it was sent. We do tninu, however,
that three copies each day in three separate envelopes were
unnecessary and we were entertained when we reud in one

STATEHOUSE
JOTTINGS
By Lester Cour
(United i'rciw Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Sept. 23 Ull Secretary
of state Earl T. Newbry sjtltl to
day he would ask the 1949 legis
lature to eliminate several de
fects" in the state's financial re
sponsibility act,
, The measure requires every
motor car owner involved in an
accident to secure public liability
and property damage Insurance.,
Newbry said the act Is funda
mentally sound, but Is working
a hardship on many car owners.
The law stipulates that proof of
financial responsibility must be
furnished after any accident.
Most states, Newbry said, have
the same law, but with a mini
mum damage clause which docs
not require a driver to get insur
ance If damage in the mishap is
less than $50.
Probably the most outstanding
defect in the law, according to
Newbry, is the stntutc which "de
feats the campaign against
drunken drivers." Under the law,
the license of a person convicted
of drunken driving is revoked by
the secretary of state. The law al
so prohibits application for re-
Instatcment for one year.
Loophole I.oft
"However," Newbry pointed
out, "the drunk driver is given
a loophole in the law If he can
get a written recommendation
from the magistrate who convict
ed him, he can reapply at any
lime for suspension of the revo
cation. "For some reason probably
heavy pressures brought to Iteur
most courts tlo write recom
mendations within a very short
time after conviction. In many
cases the recommendation accom
panies the abstract of the court
lecortl sent to the secretary of
states onice."
Newbry said his office is tie
luged continually with reports
involving accidents causing less
than $r0 damage, The owners
involved,, he staled, are without

THE "NEW" DEWEY
(Medford Mall Tribune)
It was generally conceded al
the Republican national convert
lion at Philadelphia last June that
the Uregon primary election vic
tory had much to do with the
nomination of Thomas E. Dewey
as GOP standard-bearer. This
view was widely held In subse
quent press and radio commen
tary. Any Impression that the
New York governor was Inclined
towardstuf f-shlrtcd aloofness was
quickly dissipated here. The Ore
gon clash with Harold Stassen
showed Mr. Dewey frank and
friendly, outspoken and vigorous.
Ttoscoe Drummond, chief of the
Christian Science Monitor s Wash
ington Bureau, sums up Gover
nor Dewey's Oregon visit in these
words:
"His Oregon campaign diet
ed many accounts of the 'new
Dewey' a Dewey more Infor
mal, more personable, more ar
ticulate, and more at ease In
off-the-cuff speaking than he
heretofore had revealed.
"Oregon republicans liked it.
The rest of the country will
have a chance to make up its
own mind soon."
a
Yes, Oregonlans did like
Mr. Dewey, and the favorable Im
presslon was not confined to
party lines. The Oregon prlmar
les revcaica tne youiniui nrest
dential nominee as a veteran, vlg
orous ciampninncr witn a "new
look" that will he highly efTec
tlvc for grass-roots vole getting
the purchase of more transport
planes. He's naturally interest
ed in that because flying trans
port planes is his business. He
also surprised the air force gen
erals who were there with some
plain talk on that subject. He
said:
'I go on record, that if an
emergency arises . . . combat air
power wul not oe aoie to iunc
tion unless It Is supplied with air
cargo power sufficiently strong
to keep it supplied. I am sorry
to sav that only 127 of the 2200
airplanes ordered recently under
the new program were transport
types. In view of the fact that
the military air transport service
has only 824 planes operating to
day, of which 537 are transports,
I hope that the air staff will ask
congress for more funds, If necessary."
He said tnai ne mougnt me
country had gotten an entirely
false Impression of America's air
strength form the publicity gilven
to the military air demonstra
tions put on at the dedication of
New York's new Idlewilde air
port. He said, "the sad truth is
that the string of skeletonized
formations was a ghost fleet of
world war II planes, Interspersed
with a handful of drawing board
dreams that will come true, mucn
too slowly and much too late."
The only conclusion to draw
from Rickenbacker's words is
that a new, determined effort is
under way to force the adminis
tration to expand the military
budget for next year by buying
more airplanes. President Tru
man has put a ceiling of $15,000,
000,000 on the military budget for
1949. But if the drive of the air
power advocates gets rolling on
the new demands as effectively
as it did behind the 70-group pro
gram, President Truman, or Dew
ey if he is elected, Is going to
find that $15,000,000,000 won't be
gin to cover the cost of national
defense for America next year.

Washington Scene
By Harman W. Nichols
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Sept. 23 IP The
man who called said four lovelies
from George Washington univer
sity were willing to be interview
ed on flirting.
He whetted the appetite by say
ing he understood the gals
thought such nonsense "danger
ous." Turned out our man had
misunderstood. The girls, from
left to right, proved to be heartily
in favor of a flirt here and there.
The coeds were Billie Klapp, a
21-year-old senior, from Washing
ton: Janet uusson. also a
blonde and also from Washing
ton; Tot Weld, aged 18, from Ar
lington, Va and Dionne Dalton,
19, of Arlington.
My tipster, it turned out, was
reading the result of a survey
made by United Artists in New
York, among mothers and daugh
ters, on the subject of flirting. It
was the mothers who view the
practice with alarm, not the girls.
Billle, a Spanish literature stu
dent fingered her green earrings,
nervously In front of all those re
porters and said sure, why not
flirt? What's wrong with that?
"Just so you don't overdo it and
show a little Intelligence. But to
use the old-fashioned wink, or to
whistle back at a whistle would
be cheap," she said.
Janet had her own ideas.
"When you're out on a date and
spot someone you'd like to dance
with, be sweet to your boy friend,"
she said. "Make it look as if you
think he's the most wonderful guy
In the world. Wear that old "mile
wax It if you have to. Others
will notice your personality and
you'll have all the dances you can
handle. All because of the flirt."
Tot, an art student, was amazed
at the survey among college and
high school kids in New York,
wherein 80 per cent of the girls
voted for the flirt.
"The other 20 per cent wish they
had the nerve to say they do a
little flirting, too. Even the walU
flowers. And where would those
poor souls be without flirting?"
Dionne said she thought the
smile' was the most Important
part of this flirting business. Bil
lie and Janet butted in to collabo
rate on their definition of the per
fect flirt: - , :
"One that Is cute, maybe even
overdone and just subtle enough
to be sophisticated and still at
tract attention."
That doesn't stack up with Mr.
Webster. He describes flirting as
"trifling amorously, etc."
As for a good night kiss under
the porch light the girls varied a
little in their opinion. One said her
pqppy always said never until the
third date.
But all the rest eyed that young
lady and said: "That all depends'
As for me, a lot depends on
whether mama sees tonight's pa
pers. One of those .snoopy photog
raphers caught me interviewing
Tot Weld, cute in her red fall new-look-and-a-half
dress. The picture
man had coached her to wink, flirtatious-like.
She did right at me.
'rom where I sit ... Joe Marsh
Nicest Compliment
I've Had
One of the nicest comments I've
received about this column was
from an editor in the Middle West
I called on. And while I don't like
to give myself orchids, I think it
illustrates a point.
"Joe," he said, "it so happens I
don't agree with everything you
say, but I always like to run your
column. Because it gets down to
earth and talks about the right to
disagree. And it only asks for tol
erance towards the other person's
point of view." .
He went on to explain, by way
of illustration, that he never had
happened to have a taste for ale
or beer. But that when I spoke of
the right to enjoy a moderate bev
erage like beer, well, he was right
there with mel
And from where I sit, that's the
important thing: not whether yon
