CVA THREAT RECOGNIZED
Last week we published Raymond Moley's analysis of the
proposed legislation for creation of a Columbia valley author
ity. It was apparent that the former new deal adviser was
not pleased with the prospect.
Another expert in the evaluation of public affairs, Frank
Kent, long-time Washington correspondent for the Baltimore
Sun, doesn't like it, either, for, he declares that, "probably the
most revealing evidence that the Truman fair deal goes way
beyond the Roosevelt new deal in its efforts toward the 'wel
fare state' is in the bill creating the Columbia valley admin
istration". He goes on to say :
"Though little publicized. In some ways the CVA is the most
Important pending measure. It creates a monopolistic govern
ment corporation not only much more autocratic than the Ten
nessee Valley authority but several times as large. The CVA
would certainly be the most potent agency in the country. It
would easily dominate the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and Montana. It would have control of vast funds and of a gi
gantic Job-holding machine of great political potentialities.
"In time, it not only would be independent of the govern
ment of these four states but practically of congress as well.
It is being pushed not only by the Truman administration but
by a powerful group of western senators who seem to ignore the
fact that behind this bill is the greatest drive against private
enterprise yet made. Those who oppose it, of course, are being
smeared as 'tools of the power interests.' "
Fortunately, there are some western lawmakers ana, also,

Washington (NEA) Elaborate
plans are now being made In the
White House for a big powwow
of high-level child psychologists,
social workers and educators to
be held next year, in an attempt
to find out Just how much and
what is wrong with the person
alities and minds of U.S. kids.
Fancy title for the shindig Is
"The Midcentury White House
Conference on Children and
Youth." This one will be the fifth
of its kind. Teddy Roosevelt
called the first one back In 1909
and- it has gotten to be sort of
a habit for presidents to spon
sor one every 10 years.
All of these conferences have
been held on the loftiest Intel,
lectual plane. Probably for the

TO DETER COMPETITION
The map of Oregon is sprinkled with the names of cities in
which surplus newspaper ventures gave up the ghost. Not
that the map notes this fact, of course, but the record is fre
quently preserved in name combinations, the surviving pub
lication adding the name of its former contemporary to its
own. Nine dailies that we think of off hand and five week
lies make such a record. Others, in both the daily and weekly
classifications, including two Portland dailies, have sunk
without trace.
Oregon has by no means been unique in this shrinkage in
the number of newspaper publications. It has been going
on all over the country, sometimes coming as the answer to
the over-optimism of a publisher who failed to estimate ac
curately the need of an area, sometimes resulting from un
sound business management, but always accelerated by
economic stress.
In the demise of such ailing ventures, some form of merirer.
whether by actual joining of existing enterprises or by pur
chase of the failing publication's assets by the continu
ing operation has. in varying degree, commonly eased the Association of Oregon.

senate proposing amendment to the Clayton anti-trust law
were enacted, even this analgesic would be'denied. The enter
prise with neither hope nor opportunity for survival would
be required to struggle on to the bitter end. The law would
require that it be out as well as injured before any salvage
could be undertaken. The value of a going business, even of
a departing business, would have to be abandoned, leaving
only physical assets to offset the loss.
We discuss the matter here not because it involves news
papers but because the principle which would be exemplified
could be applied as well to other kinds of business. Hence it
becomes of general interest.
The purpose of the proposal is, of course, to maintain com
petition but the actual result, in too limited fields, would be
to force the continuance of destructive competition and to
deter prospective competitors from, entering a business in
which such rule-or-ruin law governed. In other words, the
amendment would inhibit competition fnstead of encourag
ing it.
That is far from the objective of the anti-trust law.
Out on the Farm
By Ila S. Grant
Sept. 22 Indiian summer is a
wonderful season. It lets you sort
of catch your breath and enjoy
the last little bit of warm weather
before settling down to the win
ter routine. There's nothing to do
now in the garden but get the
root vegetables out of the ground.
Soon we'll have to dig the pota
toes, but right now, we're resting
on our laurels. '.
The Chief has been getting the
machinery ready to dig the pota
toes. There are only half an acre
or so, but of course, it would be
unthinkable to go out and uproot
them with a fork. The G.M. has
a hand-me-down potato digger
that's perfectly good, but it will
be even better after he overhauls
it he says.
SENTENCING POSTPONED
Sentence of Peggy Jean Bu:
snong, 18, of 545 Colorado ave
nue, who was arrested Monday on
a charge of larceny from a dwel
ling, was postponed today by R.
S. Hamilton, circuit court judge.
The young woman was arrested
by c L. McCauley, Deschutes
county sheriff, and accused of
stealing approximately $14 from
a room in the Sisters hotel.
She pleaded guilty to the
charge this morning in circuit
court. -
Judge Hamilton postponed
sentence pending further exam

Just where the American parent
grapples with the complex prob
lems of riding herd on an un
predictable bundle of growing
energy, In frantic hope that some
day a wage-earning, law-abiding
citizen might result. But the
U.S. children's bureau, which fig
urea prominently in these con
ferences, assures us , that real
benefits have seeped down to the
"child's operational level! from
these meetings.
The 1909 conference, we are
told in a bureau publication, j
"stimulated the creation of a
children's bureau in the federal
government." "Public demand for
child labor legislation") resulted j
irom uic one in ine isuu !
meeting "pointed up the need '
for specialized training of people
working with children and stimu
lated progressive education. The
last one In 1940 "highlighted the
importance of the child in a de
mocracy." Those are Just some
of the results.
a
In planning for next year's
MWHCCY, however, Katharine
F. Lenroot, head of the children's
bureau and secretary for the con
ference, wants this one to be
"better focused." She says, "the
first two conferences were prob-i
amy too limited in scope, and the
last two - covered such a broad
range of subjects as to make It
difficult tor a clear-cut, under
standable program to emerge
which could be the basis for ac
tion In behalf of children."
She adds, "certainly there Is a
need for recognition of the In
clusiveness of concern for chil
dren, -but there must be sharply
defined focal points around which
the conference program can be
built as well as careful selection
of subjects that will receive ma
jor attention."
A permanent staff of four per
sons has been set up to handle
the problems and details of the
conference. Melvln A. Glasser, an
able executive and former offi
cial with the American national
Red Cross, will be in charge. He
will be assisted by a public rela-1
uons man ana two si&ii worxers.
e a a
It will take them a year, work
ing full steam, to get ready for
the meeting. And it will prob
ably be close to another year,
preparing the report and arrang
ing for the postconferences
hen resources will be mobil
ized for carrying out immediate
and long-range action programs"
before the job is finished.
Just the planning this year Is
costing $75,000. That pays the
salaries of the four staff mem
bers, expenses of -bringing key
experts to Washington a couple
of times for preliminary meet
ings, printing advance materials
and postage on the great amount
of correspondence necessary to
get it under way.
It is estimated that the ac
tual conference will cost about
$750,000. Publishing the report
alone is estimated in the neigh
borhood of $30,000.'
There are 52 members of the
national committee who are do
ing the over-all planning. At fhe
last conference 3,000 delegates at

not be known until later. Dele-
