AVERT THE DANGER Over the past 16 years we have warned repeatedly of the dangers of government wastefulness, of the inevitability of catastrophe as the, sequel to an inflation deliberately forced upon the nation in the name of recovery, of the folly of debt financing. We have stressed the disaster that will follow if commitments made to obtain high priced material and serv ices must be met at a time when prices (and incomes) have returned to lower levels. And, because the conditions and poll-, cies against which we have warned are not matters of neces sity but of administrative choice, we have urged economy and efficiency and debt reduction as remedies and as preventive measures. . Because the need for these is so immediate and so pressing, we are encouraged by an editorial statement in the widely read Detroit Free Press, bearing emphatically and logically on the same associated subjects. It appears under the heading, "The Great Danger", and is as follows : This .country is laced with the gravest danger In its his- tory. ., ' It is a disaster worse than war. For we have always been able before to rebuild after war and to grow mightier. That time has gone. The Imminent danger with which we are confronted tran- : scends all political differences. ' The cold stark ugly fact is that the United States is rapidly drifting Into national bankruptcy. Unless something is done to stem the tide we will be, within a very few years, no better off than the nations of Europe. It is this condition for which the Moscow communists are patiently and hopefully waiting, : v - t ' They know what is coming Unless we wake up. They can ' well afford to wait. The insidious enemy Which, is serving Moscow now as the deadliest of fifth columnists is mismanagement. It is bitterly Ironic but a great laugh for Stalin that . America upon whose altars we have placed the god of effi ciency is dying of dryrot' because of gross and stupid ineffi ciency.- - ' v The most powerful business corporation hi the United ' States would go into bankruptcy within a year if it were so wretchedly managed as is the business of our federal gov- There is this difference, however: The private corporation, imvrneinageu miu i;uiiiiiiajiy CAiiavagaiu, wuuiu fay wi lis own Sins and go broke; but the government does not go out of business. It simply borrows more, money which has to be ' paid through taxation until all business ceases, the factories remairi Idle and the people starve. Eighteen years ago it cost $4,600,000,000 to run the federal government ";! Today it costs $41,858,000,000. Under President Hoover there were 300 agencies. Today there are 1,800. The reason for this? v' Lack of organization and the fight of the bureaucrats of both parties to block reform. In 1931. Hoover begged congress to give him authority to get the government on a working basis. Both republicans and democrats rejected the proposal for just one reason: , It might affect the soft Jobs of political parasites of both parties. Ten times Hoover pleaded and 10 times was he refused. Red tape was killing the nation. i j With the second war over in 1945 it wafc obvious to eVery i body regardless of party affiliations that something had to be done. , ' President Truman and the congress agreed. To eliminate politics it was also agreed that there should be six democrats and six republicans on a commission to draw up a plan of reform. It was unanimously agreed that Herbert Hoover was the one man In all the United States best qualified to head the group. i Mr. Hoover is 73 years of age. He has no political ambitions of any kind. Regardless of party lines he has served the na tion under President Truman faithfully and brilliantly both in war and peace. The commission has drawn the best brains from all walks of life in the United States. . Never before, not even in time of war, has there been such a galaxy of experts on management. For two years these experts have studied our government. Now they have ready 15 separate reports. All of these mesh Into one magnificent presentation of what is needed to save us from'national bankruptcy, and to meet Moscow. No American of Intelligence can rcud these reports with out gasping in horror at our dangers. . Yet there is a grave possibility that the greatest task of Its kind ever accomplished in the history of America will go for naught. - The mean and petty politicians of both parties arc seeking ; to destroy it for their own selfish ends. As Hoover stated to the senate committee, the danger Is as it was in all other such efforts, "They died of grasshopper bites." Here, then, Is the call to the American people of every honest shade of political belief. Here is the challenge to save us from the fate for which Moscow is waiting. Shall we continue to drift? Or shall we be aroused in time by a mighty outburst of public sentiment? The people of America have crusaded for war bonds, for Rod Cross, for community diesis, for every worthy effort . devised by the mind of man. Twice in one generation they have gone to war to fight for human liberty. They have poured forth the llfeblood of their youth and their treasure. They have willingly and without protest taken upon their hacks the most staggering burden of debt history has ever recorded. Has all this been in vain? The Bible has said that where there is no vision the people perish. Will the leaders of the republican and democratic parties, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the AKL and the CIO. the church leaders of all denominations, every civic, minded group, every noonday club, every individual citizen, unite as we have always done in war, to campaign against the evil which Is destroying us? Will there come a clarion call for buttle? Only public opinion can save the United States from the bureaucrats who stifle us. , The politicians of neither party will move unless they hear the mighty roarof an aroused populace. That is what they dread, the only thing they fear. , "Public sentiment is everything," said Lincoln. "With pub- ' lie sentiment nothing can fail. Without it nothing can suc ceed," Our one hope Is the people themselves, ... Facing the communist horde,-surrounded as we are hv t darkness and chaos across the world, this must be a holy crusade, a fight lor God, fur country and for humanity.

The assignment of both Is to influence the right people toward greater friendship for Franco Suain. . . For Spain wants back In. It wants in the North Atlantic Pact. It wants the coming United Na tions general assembly session to withdraw the resolution of De cember 1946, censuring the pres ent "undemocratic" Spanish gov ernment. It wants resumption of full diplomatic relations with those countries that withdrew their ambassadors from Madrid as a protest against Franco's government. Finally Spain wants a loan considerably more than the $25,000,000 obtained from Chase National bank in exchange for gold deposits. Spain may even want in on the Marshall plan, though the Ma drid government has not admit ted this as yet, The Spaniards are not asking for full .member ship In the United Nations at this time, because they know they can't get it.

Ambassador Lequerica came to Washington officially as inspec tor of embassies for the Spanish foreign office. His inspection has now been going on , ,for nine months, and there are no signs of, his imminent departure. In stead he has been making mucho nay for Franco. " He is' a charming go-getter "with an amazing record. He was Span ish ambassador at Vichy, France, early in the war, and he was not exactly regarded as a friend by the allied diplomatic corps there. He was recalled to Madrid as al lied victory loomed and did not again become prominent in the Spanish government until 1947, when he was made ambsssador- at-large and inspector of embas sies. , , Entertainment at the Spanish embassy which had been some thing of a diplomatic dog house, socially immediately began to pick up. The embassy staff was enlarged. The Spaniards wooed the republican congressmen, hard. But when Dewey washed out on them there was a quick shift and democrats began to be the hon ored guests. ' .

L. Woods, county aeent, that farmers are ready to do some thing about it. A series of demon strations, aimed at control of the rodents .With poisoned , carrots, will be held in the county this week. i Wlllard Nelson, an agent of the fish and wild life service, will ac company Woods on Thursday aft ernoon at- a. Prineville district demonstration at the ranch of Verne Higgins. On Friday -morning the men will demonstrate the use of carrots on the Luke Reif place in the Powell Butte clistriet. On Friday afternoon they will hold a demonstration for Post ranchers at .the Roy Foster place. Woods says that mice," follow ing the recent extremely cold weather of long duration, have emerged seemingly more voraci ous than nofmally and are re ported causing damage to clover and alfalfa fields of the irriga tion district. Poison campaigns may be necessary against the small rodents, he declares. to invito up to 20 guests to the Spanish embassy for dinners. So far he says he has met only one congressman hostile to improving diplomatic relations between the United States and Franco's gov ernment. Next summer he plans junkets to Spain for congressmen and labor leaders. How about a ride, lady? Even that hort will carry two.

In a review of operations dur ing the first year of the foreign aid program, the ECA said that the emphasis now from the 19 participating countries of western Europe is an aid that will "build for the future." ' The ECA's formal statement was issued even as authorization for a 15 month continuance of aid lapsed. But congress is ex pected to approve the extension soon. Meanwhile, there is suffi cient aid "In the pipeline" to as sure no break in the program. During the early months of the recovery program, the ECA said! the participating nations asked for food supplies and essential raw materials which were needed to get their workers in shape to go to the factories. "While the need for food and raw materials continues," ECA said, "more and more machinery and equipment for factories and farms were sought in succeeding months so that Europe would have the means for rebuilding its economy to stand alone when ERP aid ends.-. "At the same time, Europe is striving to increase its crop pro duction and to build up its live stock herds. The build for the fu ture' program in agriculture in cludes improved technology, in creased use of fertilizer, better methods of crop production, bet ter methods of pasture improve ment and control, and better methods of livestock production."

Dr. Alan Ross said that's why Lazarus still is alive. The butch er made a mistake, he said, and loft part of Lazarus'' brain. Mrs. Martha Green, wife of a Pullman porter, brought the be headed rooster home.from market Saturday for Sunday dinner. But Lazarus never reached the dinner table. Instead, he stood up on her kitchen sink, stretched his head less neck, crowed and started walking. Lazarus has been walking, crowing and sleeping peacefully ever since. Ross said the butcher's ax cut "pretty high up," leaving the pos terior part of the brain attached to the neck. It's just enough to give it con trol of Its circulatory and respir atory systems, the veterinarian said. The rooster still has his voice box, sense of balance and sensitivity to touch. Mrs. Green, a registered nurse, had another explanation. . "This is something sent by God," she said.

APRIL 4. 1949 Jefferson County Fair Date Is Set Madras, April 4 Because the previous tentative mid - August dates for the Jefferson county fair here would prevent exhibits of main agricultural products, which would not be mature at that time, Henry Thornton of Ashwood, chairman of the fair board, has announced September 2 and 3 as the date for the 1949 lair. The later date, It was point ed out, will be sufficiently early to permit the forwarding of win ning 4-H club exhibits to the state fair, which will begin this year on September 5. The fair board, the other num bers of which are Roy Gorman and O. C. Hedgepeth, have decid ed to hold a rodeo at the fair grounds arena In late May or ear--ly June. Plans for such an event are under discussion, it was stat ed, with Pat Fisk of Antelope, wno was in charge of the 1948 rodeo, held simultaneously with the fair last fall. The fair board reported that trariittnnal stock country events will be featured at the fair in September. Plans, it was stated. include drill contests between, teams of Central Oregon saddjat clubs and races. PROFANE BUT POINTED South Haven, Mich.

THIS IS Photography It won't be long until we'll be able to get out doors and shoot lots of pictures, color pictures in bright sunlight. But until we can, here's a tip or two on indoor lighting for color film. - '-" ;iv- Outdoors where the s u m may be the only source of il lumination, the colors will generally reproduce correctly with little distortion as long as we correctly expose the film. Indoors, however, light ing for color photography is a bit more complex. . Here a single light source is usually not enough to produce a na tural looking color picture. The reason being that we are accustomed to seeing the ob jects indoors under several lights which throw a variety of shadow patterns. You can simulate normal conditions with what is known as a basic portrait lighting pattern. Such a pattern con sists of a main light source with a fill-in light. A third light source may be used to illuminate the background. It is important that the main light be no more than twice as bright as the fill-in ligVit. If the color rendition and detail of the background is to be reproduced faithfully, the background should be lighted to about the same extent as the main subject. That is, back ground illumination should bo intense enough to produce a normal exposure at the shut ter speed and lens opening re quired for correct exposure of the principal subject. Variations from this simple lighting arrangement can be made with case. Added effects can be achieved through tho use of highlights spots for tho the top of the head and maybe one or more back lights. For hpsr rnciiltu tl,--.. , lights . should be about twoltt times as bright as the maiifH Hum ana mcy snould not spill over onto areas of the subject where colors are supposed to reproduce normally.
