ROSE BOWL
Naturally there is keen disappointment in Oregon at the
choice of a Rose bowl team made yesterday by Pacific coast
lacuity representatives. It could have been the University or
Oregon, with its perfect conference record. Increasingly con
viheing performance on the gridiron toward the end of the
season led to the hope that it might be. Instead, it was the
university of California a super team in the beginning but
far from convincing at the season's end that won out when
the votes were in. It, also, had had a perfect record in games
won and lost.
It would be interesting to know just how the decision was
reached, by what majority California was chosen but this,
apparently, is to remain a secret. The vote is not announced
and, it would seem, will not be.
may be deduced. The decision
; been, there would have been no
conference commissioner to disclose the fact. In the Big Nine,
! where Northwestern 's defeated team was named for Rose
bowl game participation, the selection was unanimous and
this was promptly made known. In the coast selection there
was dissenting opinion.
As a matter of fact, there is
; conference that a team be either
goes, that it shall be at the top of the percentage column in
order to qualify for selection. What is required is that the
; faculty representatives shall judge that it is the one which
will best uphold the reputation of the conference in the inter
sectional contest. Coaches, we think, would be better equipped
to render an intelligent decision but that is the way it is.
Another weakness in the system is in scheduling, which, as
in the season just ended, may result in the two top teams hav
ing no opportunity to meet in' conclusive contest. The only
answer to such a situation would be in a post-season playoff.
Such solution was proposed by Oregon, days before the final
scheduled games. The alacrity with which California refused
(also before season's end) to consider the proposal can hardly
be as amusing to California backers as it is to Oregon supporters.
MORE COUNTY MANAGERS
County manager government is getting closer. Oregon law
permits it but no county in this state has as yet availed itself
of the opportunity. Washington has recently enacted law
which will give the counties pf that commonwealth the right
to choose the county manager form and in California two
counties San Mateo and Santa Clara have adopted it this
year. Acceptance of such a change is generally slow (it start
ed in the east many years ago and there are still only 16
counties in the entire United States which are operating
under it) but recognition of its merits is spreading.
Those who are inclined to become impatient at the slowness
with which counties are making the change may console
themselves by remembering that cities were also reluctant at
first to avail themselves of the benefits and efficiencies which
similar forms provide but that today this type of government
is rapidly gaining favor. In Oregon manager forms of govern
ment have been adopted in all but a relative few of the more
important municipalities.
. The wisdom of applying the principles of centralized busi
ness management to the conduct of county affairs will one
day be apparent. Once the precedent has been established in
Oregon the trend will develop that has already become so
apparent among the cities of the state.

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By 1'eter Edson
(NBA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Western
Germany is now operating under
the blessings or tne u. fa. potato
price support program, which has
been such a hot political issue in
this country ever since the war.
To get German farmers to raise
more potatoes, price supports
were offered in the American
British blzone area. If anything,
the plan worked too well. It re
sulted in production of a crop now
estimated at 7DO,uuu,uuu ousneis.
For size, compare that with U. S.
production last year ol 418,000,000
oushels.
Blzone officials say the expert
mcnt won't cost the American
taxpayers much if anything in
the long run. Employes of the
German states and workers in
many of the largest industries
were advanced enough pay to buy
up a full year's supply of pota
toes to put In storage. So most of
tne crop win oe taxen up. t'oiu-
toes have been removed from the
ration list and here is one food
item of which the Germans can
buy as much as they can afford
and eat as much as they can hold.

American Legion's legislative
experts comprising one of the
most powerful loDDies in wasn-
ington predict that the new
congress will be more receptive
to universal military training leg
islation. The prediction is based
on the fact that Leo Allen ol Il
linois will no longer be chairman
of the house rules committee,
which bottled up this and other
important legislation all through
the last congress. New rules
chairman Adolph Sabath, also ol
Illinois, is lor UMT.

Hawalians are jubllcnt over
the election result and think it
improves their chances to gain
statehood in the next congress.
Democratic platform calls lor
Immediate statehood lor the
Hawaiian islands. Republican
platform called only for "eventu
al statehood." Hawaiian delegate
Joseph R. Farrlngton, a republi
can running on a "statehood
now" platform, was overwhelm
ingly re-elected to congress. Presi
dent Truman, Interior secretary
J. A. Krug and Under-secretary
Oscar Chapman are all committed
to giving Hawaii Its statehood.
What worries the Hawaiians
most is the doubtful attitude of
Sam Rayburn of Texas, who will
probably be next speaker of the
house and who In the past has
not been too enthusiastic.
If republicans In the 80th con
gress had been smarter and had
passed the Hawaiian statehood
measure last year, the grateful
islanders, would probably ha,ve
elected two republican senators

The idea that the Marshall Plan
Is something just to assist Amer
ican business by taking up slack
and surplus production in this
country is hard to kill off. ECA
still gets many letters from Am
erican business firms dealing in
everything from coarse phosphate
rock to deucate macmne toois,
complaining that they am not
getting any orders or as many
orders from Europe as they had
anticipated. The answer is that
the purpose of ECA is to aid Eu
rope to recovery so as to get the
burden of foreign relief off the
neck of the American taxpayers
not Just to provide a boondoggle

Michael S. Comay, member of
the Israeli mission to the Unit
ed nations, came to Washlngtpn
a few days ago "to try to find out
the real American policy on Pal
estine." He said the policy ex
pressed by the U. S. delegation in
Paris was dllferent from the one
expressed by President Truman.
In discussing recent Paris reports
that the Israeli government was
buying arms in Russia and
Czechoslovakia, Comay charged:
"I - am convinced these stories
were deliberately planted by Brit
ish intelllgenee.agents and timed
to prejudice the Palestine case
before the UN."

"Now, every time I ask daddy

meters are unfair to us kids."

Green Rain
Most interesting review of last
winter's weather was the account
of the green rain which fell on
Dayton, O., on March 26. All this
happened the day after three
moons were seen in Boston ' the
real moon with a 'dog moon', on
either side."
So much for last winter.
This winter, the almanac says,
it won't be as drippy or as cold
as last year. However, it'll .last a
little longer into March when we
can expect rain, sleet and snow.
The "Old Farmer's Almanac" is
none of the city dweller's business.
It's printed to help the man in
overalls.

The almanac was started by
Robert B. Thomas, publisher and
philosopher. Perhaps lie was
thinking of the 1948 election fore
casts when he wrote in 1802:
"Read newspapers, but consid
er, before you believe; for com
mon report is often a great liar."
Fan mall is nothing new, either.
