HOPE IT'S NOT A HABIT
Discussinir the apparent inclination of President Truman to
seize power not delegated to him by the constitution, we made
reference last week to his action on the military appropria
tions bill, noting that in signim; it he, at the same time,
amended it, ordering that the appropriation for 10 air force
groups be held "in reserve". To all intents and purposes it
was an exercise of single item veto, which is not among the
nchts granted to him either in basic or other law.
Mr. Truman's action in this instance is not, however, the
first time that he has stepped out of his place as executive and
assumed the functions of the legislative department of gov
ernment. Even more drastic was his order, transmitted
through John R. Steelman of the office of war mobilization
and reconversion, to "freeze" the public works construction
program. This order was given in 1947. It blocked the award
ing of any new construction contracts tor a period of 5b days
without Steelman's express permission, thus holding up a
$1,600,000,000 program while the president decided which of
itn items sufficient to make up a $700,000,000 total were
to be eliminated.
Ostensibly the purpose of this usurping of legislative
power was to balance the budget and, to that extent, halt the
inflationary trend. Perhaps this was actually so but, if so, it
was much moro than offset by the otherwise consistently
inflationary policies which the president had insisted on. It
was, moreover, a device by which the executive could pick and
choose from among authorized projects and, under the guise
of economy, make the awards of employment, payroll and
development to areas which were politically deserving.
The method, again, was in effect that of single item veto
of an approved program, cutting across, modifying and
amending the expressed will of congress in which the execu
tive had seemingly concurred. It is a method which, persisted
in, will gradually subordinate the legislative department to
the-president's will. Removal of the authority of a congress is
the beginning of dictatorship.
Some years ago a man named Victor Boehl worked on a
"jammer" in The Shevlin-Hixon Company logging opera
tions. Leaving that employment he moved to Josephine county
and went to farming. In the years that have intervened he
has become a leader in the irrigation development of the
Rogue river valley and in the Josephine grange. He has just
retired as master of the Josephine Pomona grange and now is
a candidate for the post of state grange master. Because of
his early residence in this section and because of the quali
ties of leadership that he has developed since leaving here
there will be special interest here in hia candidacy for the
state grange post.
It's niid-Novembur. autumn two-thirds ,ironn. lint, still sun
tan seaston. Yesterday wa saw: ona of the high school boys
taking nis exercises on tne tennis courts attired in shoes and
trousers. A shirt, apparently, would have been just too much.
Others may be favoring the same sketchy costume if this kind
of weather continues.
Maybe it's later than we think. One of the local churches
has just announced its pre-Christmas program. And so, to
break the news only 32 shopping days left before December
25.

rather desultory, lor a suitable
champion to oppose the lorensi

It appears rather typical of
this group's proneness to ignore
states' rights and even slates' ex
istence as entitles and their natu
ral desire to be represented in con
gress, if nowhere else, by "one o

(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Attention,
taxpayer. Your public servant
Cornelius Vanderbllt Whitney,
the undersecretary of commerce,
has the following official procla
mation for you:
"The United States has adopted
toward the subject of travel a
strikingly new perspective."
That's the way he starts a piece
he has written for the current is
sue of the department of com
merce publication, rorclgn com
merce Weekly." Perhaps of more
significance than the subject
matter of his article is the indica
tion that the author is now 100
per cent bureaucratized. You
don't get full bureaucratic flag
rank until you've completely mas
tered the federal phrase. Mr.
Whitney seems to have accom
plished this feat,
lie is easily one of the richest
men in the world. lie is tne prod
uct of two of the oldest, most re
snected and wealthiest families in
America, me t nn-iion goici mine
in Canada, the biggest gold mine
in the world, is one of his proper
ties, for instance. He owns the
famous Belmont race track on
Lone Island, rilso he owns thous
ands of acres of valuable timber
in the U.S. Those items are men
tioned merely to show the broad
base of his prosperity. He him
self would probably be nard put
to it to list all ot his assets.
Mr. Whitney's service for Un
cle Sam started during the war.
He was a colonel In the air force
and served well In Egypt, India
and at Iwo Jima. After the war
lie took a job as assistant secre
tary of the air force. He was in
charge of air force reserve affairs
and all civilian relations and did
a good job. That won him the pro
motion to undersecretary ol com
merce, which leads back to the
article he has written in that ca
pacity. He has just completed an ex
tended trip around Europe ex
plaining America's "strikingly
new persective" on travel to
tourist officials there. Encourage
ment of the American tourist
trade in Europe is one of the big
alms of the Mai shall plan. He
writes of this;
"Under the plan, four meth
ods of development arc envision
ed. They are the general Euro
pean travel-development pro
gram; the American-visitors pro-
iiiiimimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiim
gram; the travel-iinancing pro
grams employing grants, loans,
and matching funds; and the tra
vel-investment guaranties pro
gram." A spokesman for Mr. Whitney's
office explains that that state
ment does not mean tne govern
ment Is going to give anybody
any loans to slghtsee in h-urope.
It Just means that ECA officials
can loan money to build hotels In
Europe, for Instance, to cater to
the tourist trade. It also means
that U.S. Investors In the tourist
trade m Europe will be permitted
to taKe out any dollar profits
they might make. Mr. Whitney
further explains how this plan is
to work:
The fundamental approach in
all instances is the initiation of

Redmond Church
Group Has Dinner
Redmond, Nov. 16 (Special)
The Ninety and Nine men of the
Redmond Christian church met
Monday evening, Nov. 14, at the
church and- were hosts at an elk
dinner honoring their wives.
There were 63 persons present.
Guest speakers were M. Dobbins
of the Sisters church and his mes
sage was, "What (lie Ninety and
Nine Men Are." Rev. Len B.
Fishback of the Bend church
spoke on "Boys' Work."
Out-of-town guests were the
newly elected officers of the Cen
tral Oregon districts of the Ninety
and Nine men who were Dick
Tate, treasurer; M. Miles, presi
dent, both from Culver; Rav Naff,
secretary, of Redmond. On the
finance committee were Fred
Quinn of Madras; Clarence Sunk
ler of Sisters; Myron Blackwell
of Powell Butte, and Robert
Breckenridgo, acting for the Bend
representative.
Wendell Herbison of the Red
mond church was toastmaster,
Frank Aronsineler read the Scrip
lures. The tables were decorated
in Thanksgiving arrangements
and decorations furnished by Ed
Olsen of the Redmond church.
There will be a regular meet
ing of the Ninety and Nine men
of Central Oregon Monday, Nov.
21, at the Sisters church.
' The local men organized their
men at this meeting and offi
cers elected were Frank Arens
meier, president; E. Olsen, vice
presidenr, and Paul Griffith, secretary-treasurer.
the program by each participat
ing nation, and coordination
through cooperative effort."
He says that travel "is a bus
iness which, at any given time, is
circumscribed by the adequacy of
its physical assets." Furthermore,
he writes:
"The urge to travel Is essential
ly personal; so human nature,
which is apt to be the same the
world over, must be at all times
In the focus of our analysis and
our planning."
Then he throws in this clinch
er: "This country has declared as a
basic policy its belief in the vig
orous encouragement of bona
fide travel of nonimmigrant vis
itors between all countries as a
vital factor in promoting trade as
well as economic and cultural un
derstanding." '
There is no doubt that Mr.
Whitney is truly in the federal
fold.

Nov. 16 "A pretty center
piece for the table" is a prop that
sets the scene for gaiety and fes
tivity when dinner guests are
coming, as many clever hostesses
know. At this season of the year,
substitutes for flowers are apt
to be used. Greenery, fruits and
even dried materials appear on
many well-appointed tables, and
originality and artistry can be
given full sway.
One of the most attractive cen
terpieces I've seen in a long time
was an arrangement Mrs. Ken
Hicks made of barberry boughs,
without berries. She stuck multi
colored gumdrops to the prickly
thorns, and the bouquet was most
effective. Special color schemes
can be worked out, and for chil
dren's parties, the sweets can
take the place of favors. For that
matter, a small "tree" could be
made for each place. The guests
will enjoy nibbling at the decorations.
Mrs. Hicks, who is a first-rate
cook, by the way, gave me the
recipe she used for a delicious
llght-as-a-feather " coconut cake,.
It s one of those one-bowi cakes'
and the electric mixer makes
quick work of combining the in
gredients.
Sift together 214 cups sifted
cake flour, 1V4 cups sugar, 3 tea
spoons double-acting baking pow
der and 1 teaspoon salt Add M
cup of high grade vegetable short
ening, 1 teaspoon flavoring and
23 of 1 cup of milk. Beat two
minutes, then add the remaining
13 cup of milk and 13 to Vj
cup of unbeaten eggs (2 medium),
Beat two minutes longer and
bake in two large round layers,
at 350 degrees, for 30 to 35 minutes.
