REMOVE THE THREAT "
. Strong affirmative votes on both issues presented at the
special city election Tuesday left no question of the general
desire to maintain unbroken the chain or authority as it exists
under the local system of government.
The only hint of criticism of Manager Percy Drost, whose
tenure was one of the election questions, came because he was
unwilling to oy-pass tne cnier or ponce in suggested reinstate
ment of three patrolmen. The vote for Drost was three to one.
The parking meter ordinance, passed by the city commis
Ision, the revenues which it provides accepted by budget com-
mittees in its computations and again by the people in their
Japproval of two city levies which meter revenue estimates
reduced, won out ten to one.
I As things stand, it is to be expected that there will be no
further voting on whether Percy Drost is to be retained as
.manager. His appointment is understood to be temporary and
the people have shown unmistakably that th,ey do not wish to
, dislodge him. But under the new charter provision which
j placed his name on the ballot his successor will have to face a
.similar test in four years. As things stand, metering is safe.
J But under the same charter provision any other revenue or
s licensing measure which may now be enacted must be voted
J on in two years.
s The unwisdom of forcing such a test upon an appointed
J official and of introducing such uncertainty (in the matter of
a revenue measure) in providing for the annual financing ot
, the city's expenses has repeatedly been pointed out. What we
wish to emphasize now is that Tuesday's election unqualif ied
! ly endorses the chain of authority provided in the charter; the
people naming the commission, the commission setting up
, policies, enacting legislation, setting up the financial struc
ture and appointing a manager, and the manager, in turn,
. naming all other appointive officials, including the chief of
J police, who is responsible for the efficiency and conduct of his
, department. The new charter provisions, under which Mon
; day's election were held, are in conflict with this theory of
. government. They weaken the chain. Periodically they will
J threaten to break it.
; . The threat should be removed. These new provisions have
s no place in the Bend city charter. They should be repealed. We
f suggest that a repeal amendment be offered to the people and,
j for convenience, that this be done at the time of the budget
, levy election in 1949.
; THE MELTING POT
. In the Salem Capitol Journal we read that a physician of
; Norfolk, Nebraska has selected as the 1948 All-America foot-
ball team the following :
1 Sobczak, Michigan Stale, left end.
DeRogatls, Duke, left tackle.
i Tokai'tv.yk, Pennsylvania, left guard.
i Kwilosz, Marquette, center.
i ; Sergienke, Boston College, right guard.
j ; Szafaryn, North Carolina, right tackle.
, Keratitis, Illinois, right end.
, Cannavlno, Ohio State, quarterback. ,
i Kasonovlch, Indiana, left halfback. '
1 Perplcone, Northwestern, right halfback. '
I : Pasaquariello, Marquette, fullback.
i Our guess is that the physician picked that team for its
names rather than for demonstrated ability on the gridiron,
(although one of his eleven actually has received an official
All-American designation) and in doing so, of course, he gave
renewed emphasis to the fact that our United States is, in
deed, a melting pot wherein races from all the world are
being transmuted into Americans.

, (NBA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA)-Something
different in general staff plan
ning concepts is being considered
for the new, unified national de
fense establishment. It has grown
out of the current Pentagon bat
tle of the bulge-the budget bulge.
President Truman has set a
$15,000,000,000 top on, what the
three armed services - and the
stockpiling program can spend
next year, a tnree-man general
stall committee uen. josepn i,
McNarney for the air force, Gen.
J. Richards for the army, and
Vice Adm. R. B. Carney for the
navv has Just reconciled differ
ences between the three services
so that they can all live within
this budget and remain reason
ably happy.
General McNarney has admit
ted that his experience on this
committee has taught him an
awful lot about the navy he never
knew before. Coming from an
air force general who was depu
ty chief of staff to General Mar
shall during the war, this Is quite
a confession. It suggests that
much of the sniping wnicn tne
three services have been aiming
at each other has been based on
lack of Information.
e
In the oast, almost the only
concern of the general staff was
strategic planning and training.
It didn't bother much about hav
ing a strong civilian economy be
hind the military to support it in
peace as well as In war. The idea
dominant in the military mind
was that the job of the civilian
economy was to give the military
everything It needed, in a hurry,
and never mind the expense.
That attitude led to some pretty
nasty battles in Washington dur
ing the last war. .
It is now beginning to be realiz
ed that this was bad. As a result,
general staff planning is now be
ing directed along four main
lines instead of Just one. The four
are: 1. Strategic planning and op
erations of military forces. 2.
International politics meaning a
better understanding ana a better
carrying out of U.S. foreign poli
cy objectives. 3. Fiscal policy
meaning an ability to operate the
military establishment within a
budget that the country can main
tain without nardsnip. 4. I 'nes
tle economy meaning o on
witnin tne limits or civi re
ductive capacity to suppu, . Doth
the military and the home fronts.
If this four-way approach to
military problems Is carried to Its
logical conclusion, it could mean
that the general staff of the fu
ture must have nt top levels not
only professional soldiers and
sailors, but also diplomats and
economists who are Just as expert
In their fields as the fightln'- tel
lers are in theirs. '
' This specific problem which the
McNarncy-Ca rney-Rlcha rds gen
eral staff subcommittee has had
to wrestle with has been the par'
(ng down and division of estimat
ed defense needs from an original
$30,000,000,000 to the president's
$15,000,000,000 limit. To have gone
over the $15,000,000,000 figure
would throw the government in
the red.
When Secretary Forrestal was
In Europe recently, he discussed
the possibility of deficit financing
with military leaders there. Gen.
Walter B. Smith, ambassador to
Moscow, was of the oninion that
deficit financing should make no
difference that whatever had to
be spent for adequate defense had
to be spent.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U.S. mili
tary governor In Berlin, who has
serious economic and political
problems of his own In running
the German economy, took the
other view. Clay s position was
that It would be bad for the coun
try as a whole If the budget were
unbaiancea ana ine country re
sorted to deficit financing.
This difference in approach to
this year's military budget ques
tion Illustrates the change that
must come over general staff
thinking. The "shoot the works
and never mind the cost" attitude
of the war, In which most of to
day's general staff officers were
trained, has to be replaced by con
sideration for economic facts of
life.
Wanh'matan Scene
By Ilarman W. Nichols
(United Press Surf Correspondent)
Washinston. Dec. 3 iui The
year was 1919. It was well past
curfew in jolly old London town,
and the famed Kit-Kat club was
operating outside the law.
Havdcn Talbot, the baggy-eyed
proprietor (he used to be a news
oanerman himself) had ushered
out the potential spies and drop
ped the latch inside.
Hayden was happily surround
ed by a group of close, thirsty
friends, all from the smart set.
One of the paying customers
was Edward, then Prince of
Wales, who had dropped in for a
nightcap after attending the theater.
"Hayden. old man," he said, "I
believe I'll have a spot of father's
favorite a glass of that fine
tiger's milk. Chilled just right,
you know."
Hayden brushed a tangle of red
fuzz over his bait spot. He was
about to reach under the mahog
any for the crock of royal spirits
when the phone tinkled.
Bad News
It was bad news. A tipster was
on the wire to inform the Inn
keeper that the long arm of the
law was reaching at that very mo
ment In the direction of the Kit-
Kat. The suggestion over the line
was the equivalent of "Scram."
Hayden saw himself working
toward the middle of a fine old
tizzy. He quickly flicked the
lights and led his guests, Edward
included, through a hallway and
out a back door. And just as the
head bobby gave the front gate
a good one with his stick.
The loudest sigh from the
small group huddled In the back
alley came from the prince. Ed-
warn was extremely grateful at
having avoided an unpleasant sit
uation and later told his friend,
Hayden Talbot, he would grant
him any favor he wished within:
reason.
Our man didn't have to think
long. What he would like, said
he, was the secret lormula lor
that fine drink called "tiger's
milk."
Whispered Formula
Edward scratched his royal
crown and frowned a little. It
would take a bit of doing, he ex
plained, but he would try. The
recipe had come down in the royal
family from the i7th century.
It was whispered from one chief
royal steward to another. The
king himself didn't know what
was In the drink except that it
had a lot of fresh fruit juices.
Well, It took the prince six

association figures. Tester for
the Central Oregon area was
C. A. Pestka.
High on the production honor
roll for two-year-olds, based on
305 days or less actual production,
was a Sawyer-Steiwer owned cow
which yielded 9,337 pounds of
milk and 485.5 pounds of butter
fat in 305 days of production. Also
making this honor roll were two
Jersey cows belonging to H. P.
Eby, Redmond. In 305 production
days these two cows, named
Bonnie and Nancy, gave 428.2
pounds of butterfat for 7,821
pounds of milk and 413.6 for
6,470 respectively. One of Eby's
herd scored in the five-year-old
and over class, too, with 6,905
pounds of milk and 395.5 pounds
of butterfat.

TIME FOR SNICKERS IS OVER
(Salem Capitol Journal)
When the suggestion was made
to divert Columbia river water to
California, the Idea sounded so
fantastic to the people of Oregon
that It brought nothing more
than a laugh,
But Californlans are a breed of
strange people who do strange
things. Nothing Is fantastic to
them. Nor is hardly anything
seemingly impossible. The Colum
bia river proposal Is not unreal
to them, either.
The proposal is "not the bad
dream some people seem to con
sider it," the reclamation commis
sioner of the federal bureau In
California's state capital warns.
In fact, the federal bureau is giv
ing serious consideration .to di
verting the water to drought
harrassed California.
However, the bureau has taken
no stand of support or opposition
as yet. The federal agency and
the house public lands committee
are making a full study of costs
and possible routes for such a
diversion project.
So Oregon had better stop
laughing over the dream-like pro
posal of California to divert the
Columbia. Instead of chuckling
over the absurdities of the people
in the state to the south, Oregon
had better do some deep thinking
about the consequences of any
such possible move.
Any threat to something as pre
cious as water deserves attention
instead of snickers. ,
