ENCOURAGING CLARIFICATION
; In Portland Mayor Lee and her conscientious chief of po
lice, Charles P. Pray, have undertaken enforcement of the law
with respect to unlicensed punch boards and illegal slot ma
chines. The wide publicity given to this unique activity has led
to examination of the degree and nature of enforcement or
lack thereof in other Oregon areas. This fact is suggested by
a news story in Saturday's Oregonian in which appeared the
paragraphs following:
Elsewhere in Oregon, interest was high in developments in
Mrs. Lee's war on the underworld's pocketbook. Reliable
sources estimated there are not more than six of Oregon's 30
counties which have completely banned slot machines of all
types.
And in that same Oregonian it was said, editorially :
Mayor Dorothy McCullough Lee's decision to extend the
police crack-down on untaxed and illegal punchboards, pin
ball machines and slot machines to include a ban on slot
machines In private clubs may encourage a clarification of
public .thinking, and of the laws themselves, on gambling in
Oregon.
With that expression we agree and we think it a very good
thing to bring about such clarification of thinking as the
Portland paper thinks may be encouraged.
From another Oregon paper that comes to this editorial
desk comes a warning of conditions that up-state communi
ties may face as a result of the Portland cruside. This is an
influx of undesirable elements that are associated with these
illegal operations. If the pastures where they have flourished
dry up they will naturally move to fields that are green.
It will be interesting to observe what pastures will be found
to be green and what and where pastures now green will be
dried up as have those in Portland.
In Coos county, we learn from a statement by the district
attorney appearing in the Coos Hay Times, there is to be
no crack-down. Instead, the goal of the newly-elected James
A. Norman as outlined in a talk before the Kiwanis club "in
respect to enforcement of gambling laws is"
to keep children from gambling, to clean up crime-breeding
spots, to divert unbelievably large sums of money back into
wages and useful channels from the pockets of chlselers and
to protect Innocent persons who suffer when a sucker loses
too much,
" The Coos county district attorney has even prepared a list
of "voluntary restraints on gambling" and we think they are
interesting. They are :
"1. Lift all punchboards and gambling devices from count
ers where they can be reached and played by children. If the
customer does not want to gamble enough to(ask for them,
then you are imposing upon him with an expensive nuisance.
"2. Remove slot machines from near the cash register, or
any other conspicuous spot that forces attention upon pass
' ersby or all customers, and take whatever steps may be
necessary to keep children from playing.
"3. In any other gambling game, such ns dice and card
games, do not permit anyone to lose mure than a reasonable!
sum or more than he can afford. For the time being apply
these rules of thumb: i r
"a. Cash no pay checks, and do not permit aityone to play
money that you know is pay money.
"b. Cash no personal checks, and do not take checks,
IOU's, or other evidences of value, or property.
"c. Do not permit anyone to gamble more money than
he brings with him, or more than he can afford. Know your
customer and bo satisfied personally that he can afford it.
"4. Do not use co-called 'goons' to police games, or hire
anyone vith a criminal record to operate a game, or use
any undisclosed house players, or allow any known profes
sional gamblers to prey on the public; and do not use any
'fixed' devices.
"5. Do not permit Intoxicated persons to gamble."
Such a frank statement of just what one should and should
not do by way of regulating law-breaking will, wo should
imagine, help in the encouragement of the public thinking
mentioned by the Oregonian. To us it rounds, like a plea to
band of coyotes not to kill too many sheep and to see to it
that the killing that is done is done gently.
At the same time we recognize that the res! listed by
Attorney Norman do cover the ground if there is to be gam
bling. Pay roll clerks in local business institutions can testify
to the pleas of wives for the checks their husband had earned
and would gamble away if they got the money. The case of
a wage earner who in one evening wrote four checks totalling
several hundreds in two down town spots was brought to our
attention some time, ago by the man's aged father for whom
we recovered the money through tile then chief of police. He
seemed to know where to go to get it. The men who took it in
the first place exercised no such restraint as Mr. Norman pro
poses and there was obviously no local police restraint.
It is a fortunate thing that the legislature is in session
while this Portland law enforcement campaign is on. That
makes quick action possible on behalf of either less or more
stringent laws as public thinking becomes clarified.

WASHINGTON COLUMN
iiimill'iiliuilliii"iiiiiiitiiuiiiiliiiiiiiiimiiili;il
By Peter Etlson
(NKA WiothiUKton Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Washing
tonlans Interested in the Chinese
civil war have been taking a close
look at the newly-appninled Chi
nese cabinet. Their purpose is to
see If it otfers any hope lor a
broader Chinese government
which the United States might
back with more confidence In the
cold war against communism.
Three years ago, President Tru
man said that "peace, unity and
lemocmlle reform in China will
be furthered if the basis of this
government (China's I is broaden
ed to Include other political ele
ments of the country." 'there was
something of a row here last
March over whether litis meant a
coalition between Chiang Kai
shek's kuominlang and the com
mies. President Truman said that
it never had and it didn't, and
since he has stuck to it, that's
still official U.S. policy
Last April, the first naticnal as
sembly (convention! to lie elected
under the new constitution met at
Nanking. Out of Its 3,000 delegat
es, the kuomintang had roughly
2.410, the young China party had
300, the democratic socialist par
ly 200. It was still a one-parly
government.
Only job of the new assembly
.vas to elect a president and vice
president. Chiang Kai-Shek was
elected president, but his candi
lale for the vice presidency, Dr.
Sun l', was defeated. Instead the
assembly elected (ien. LI Tsung
en, a liberal. This looked like a
real broadening of the govern
ment, but it hasn't worked that
way. General Li has had even less
influence than an American vice
president, though he is still being
mentioned as a possible successor
lo Chiang.
Chiang was Inaugurated presi
dent on May L'O, 1!UK. Premier of
his first cabinet was Dr. Wong
tVen-hao, who lasted six months.
It is tile new, succeeding cabinet
which Washington is now study
ing with such hopeful Interest.
The new premier is !r. Sun Ko,
Chiang's dcleaicd vice presiden
tial candidate and son of China's
George Washington, Sun Yal-sen.
Ho is a graduate of California and
Columbia universities, thorough
ly familiar with the American
viewpoint, hut a kuomintang par
ty wheel horse and a member of
its central executive committee
since 1932.
The names don't mean much to
the average American readers,
s there is no point in listing
them. But, from the Washington
point of view, the most important
aspect of the new cabinet is the
appointment of five ministers
without portfolio. If the Intention
here is to set up a small action
group which will have broad pow
ers in directing long-needed ocon
omlc reforms, as well as tighten
ing up on conduct of the military
campaign against the commun
ists, it may be considered a move
to strengthen Ihe government.
But actual performance, Instead
of mere intent, is what will have
to tell the story of how broad
this new government really is.
The five ministers without port
folio are of considerable interest.
Two are former premiers of
China -Ceil. Chang Chun and Dr.
Wong Wen-hao. Both are said to
be aligned with the kuomlntang's
liberal political science clique. An
other, Gen. Chang Chili-chung, Is
head of Ihe "C.C.," or conserva
tive clique, and is considered to be !
in favor of a negotiated peace
with the communists. Dr. Chen
Li-fu, University of Pittsburgh
graduate who was in the United
Slates all last summer, is another
C.C. man, the elected vice presi
dent of the legislative yuan, lie
has been a kuomintang central
executive committee member
since l'X!9, (hough new lo cabinet
office. Dr. Out Chia-hwa, the
fifth minister without portfolio,
was minister of education in the
last cabinet.
In fact, new Jobs have been
found for nearly all the members
of the last cabinet who were drop
ped. Taken as a whole, the new
cabinet doesn't look much broad
er than the old at this distance.

For Major Cut
In U.S. Budget
Washington, Jan. 17 Ml'i Con
gressional republicans will op
pose a tax increase and vote to
cut about $3,000,000,000 from
President Truman's big 1950
budget if they follow the leader
ship of Sen. Robert A. Taft, R-.
O. He is chairman of the senate
republican policy committee.
Taft staled his economy pro
gram last night in a radio debate
with three senate colleagues. It
came after a week of increasing
uneasiness over government
spending plans among some con
servatives of both parties. But
there was no indication so far
that Mr. Truman would lack am
ple congressional majorities to ob
tain most of his program and,
possibly, all of it.
Others Named
Appearing with Taft in the de
bate were Sens. Joseph C. O'Ma
honey, D Wyo., and Paul 11.
Douglas, D., III., and II. Alexan
der Smith, H., N. J. The demo
crals argued for the budget as
presented.
"The government is just get
ting ready to do the things thai
must be done," O'Mahoney said.
"I am fearful that the president's
figures will have to be raised if
we carry out our national obli
gat ions."
Douglas said there might be
some water to he squeezed out
of. the budget and promised to
help discover it. Hut he said taxes
would have lo be hiked this year
to permit reduction of the nation
al debt.
Smith agreed with Taft that
gov eminent spending could be cut
under Mr. Truman's $11,900,000.
0(10 figure and that a tax increase
should be avoided.
Suggestions Made
Taft said the administration
had been inaccurate in the past
In estimating government reve
nue. He did not delail where he
would cut Ihe budget, hut lie did
make a couple of suggestions.
"If we can cut about $3,000,
000,000 from Ihe budget there will
be .no need for new taxes and
there will be a surplus," Taft
said "It can and should be done.
We're trying to do more than I
even the United States can do. I

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS
Says Hunter in Red
Still May Be Shot
Pittsburgh li'i An expert on
color took issue with game au..
Ihorities who contend that hunt,
crs are safest wearing red gar
menls. Cerise-ptnk is most likely i0
keep the bullets out of your back,
Faber Bin-en, New York, said in
a talk before the advertising ar
tists of Pittsburgh.
"A hunter's entire jacket should
be in cerise-pink," Birren said. "It
has a high visibility and is dis
tinctive." But for those who don't take to
such a color as cerise-pink for
their clothing, Birren had an al
ternative. 'Orange-yellow Is the next best
color," he said. "It has high vis.
ibility and high attention value."
Birren's objections to red for
hunters are two-fold:
1. Eight per cent of the men
in this country are color blind
and most of those can't disting
uish red from green.
2. Red is a dazzle camouflage
color. It helps hide pheasants,
for example, because it blends
into a natural background at a
very short distance.

If you like lo develop your
own "film during these cold
winter evenings, and then like
to finish your own sparkling
prints, here's a pointer or two
on drying glossy prints.
It Is absolutely essential thai
'''tile 'surface on which Ihe gins
'Sy prints are lo be dried be
perfectly clean. Kven water
marks left on the surface from
previously dried prints must
be wiped off lo a clean, bright
surface to get perfect results.
Any dirty or greasy areas on
the drying surface will have a
tendency to cause air to be
pocketed between Ihe print and
the drying surface, so that
some areas of t he print will
not come in contact with the
drying surface and will appear
as dull spots.
To remove wafer marks and
oilier stains o.n Ihe drying sur
face, wet I lie surface with a
damp cloth and then wipe dry
with a clean, dry cloth until
the surface is dry and bright.
Finger marks and other oily
marks on Ihe surface that can
not lie removed in this manner
may he removed by using alco
hol, a detergent, a dilute am
monia solution, or soap. Soap
is apt to leave an oily film
which then must be removed
bv alcohol or a detergent.
Don't use gritty soaps or clean
ers. Thi" glossy print must be
squeegeed on to the drying sur
face in such a manner lhal the
print surface and drying sur
face arc in perfect contact. An
ply Ihe dripping wet print face
down on I lie plate or drum us
ing a papei'hangers technique,
that is. a lop or bottom edge
should be placed onto the dry
ing surface, then Ihe rest of
I lie print is brought into con
tact w illi I he drying surface
so that edee opposite to the
one that was first applied is
the last to touch. .Next, squee
gee the print with a rubber
roller.
The Camera Dept. at. Sym
ons Bros, can furnish you wilh
ferrotype plales, print rollers
and all the necessary chemi
cals to enable you lo do a good
job snapshot printing in your
own private dark room. If you
would like lo hear more about
drying maie prints, drop us
a caul this week and we'll trv
to give a liltie helpful advice.
