FOR EXECUTIVE REORGANIZATION
In their endorsement of the Hoover commission report on
reorganization of the executive branch of our national t'ov
erament, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Business and
Professional women's club and Bend Teachers association
are taking a constructive stand. In their decision to promote
general understanding of the purposes and possibilities in
herent in the commission's recommendations as a background
for legislative enactment of the efliciencies and economies
which the report proposes the three groups are embarking
upon a public service of the utmost importance.
The Hoover commission, which has now completed its task,
vas in no sense a political organization. Authorized by the
congress and approved by the president, its chairman, named
in a democratic administration, was America's ranking re
publican (and still is) and it is by his name that the com
mission has commonly been known. Its final report was
based of findings reached in painstaking, scientific re
search conducted by task forces drawn from the best brains
available in this country. The task force reports identified
the duplications, the overlappings of government activities,
the instances of waste, inelliciency, over-staffing of depart
ments and bureaus. The commission, analyzing the task force
reports, presented in its conclusions the means by which sim
plicity could replace complexity, by which efficiency could
replace inefficiency, by which economy (in time as well as
money) could replace the waste that is one of the factors in
deficit financing of the day.
The commission's report is no generalization ; it is specific,
blueprinting with an exactness that allows of no misunder
standing the steps that should be taken to eliminate executive
confusion, to short-cut the tangle that has gradually come
into being over the years. "
. What it all means has been stated before but it will bear
re-stating many times. Expressed in terms of the currently
favorite unit of monetary measurement, the report, actually
put into effect, can save the U.S. treasury three billion dollars
a year, this can be translated into reduction of the levies
made annually on the taxpayers (all of us, that is), or in sys
tematic retirement of the national debt, a procedure which
would also bring about tax reduction. It is a great work, this
report, done by a great board of efficiency experts.
But, as we have suggested, in order that the work shall
bear fruit, it is necessary that the commission's recommenda
tions shall become active, forceful law. To a minor extent
this has already come about in enactments by the congress.
But the most important part of the job remains to be done.
It can be accelerated but in all probability will not be acceler
ated except in response to popular demand. That demand, we
believe, can only stem from general realization of what the
commission's recommendations mean, from general under
standing and acceptance of how utterly necessary it is that
the executive branch of the American government be put on
a sound, economic, efficient basis. Once that is achieved, the
plans submitted will be on their way to adoption.

MAKING THE TURN
Several years ago when Bend discontinued diagonal in fa
vor of parellel parking the width of the city's downtown
streets permitted the addition of a fourth traffic lane. The
change has greatly facilitated both local and through move
ment of vehicles and, in the main, has resulted in greater
driving safety. It is to be observed, however, that there are
still motorists either ignorant of proper use of the double
lane into which each half of the street is divided or' who
choose to make their own rules, thereby introducing a need
less hazard to themselves and others.
Partly this is noticeable in intersection turns, driving to
the right from a left-hand lane or to t.hr lnl'r. from n i-itrhi-
hand lane. Just as wrong, although less dangerous, is the
practice of crossing directly into a left-hand lane on a right
turn or into a right-hand lane on a left turn. Lane changes are
property maue wunin me boundaries ot the block, not in the
intersection. '
Bad accidents can easily come about throuirh i-iilim fn
low the rule. Stay in the proper lane or, sooner or later, some
one is going 10 oe nurt.

ished the sausage and wrapped it.
Ibis morning the Chief tried a
couple of patties for his break

going on, the aroma of the spices
was simply tantalizing. Tor 15
pounds of meat, we used G table
spoons of salt, 5 tablespoons of

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By Douglas Larsen
(NtA Suit Correspondent)
Washington ,(NEA) The 25,
000 people of the Virgin islands
may get a governor from among
their own number if President
Truman continues his recent pol
ipy in dealing with America's Is
land possessions.
The 50 islands, of which only
three St. Thomas, St. John, and
St. Croix are inhabited, were
bought from Denmark in 1017 to
protect the eastern entrance to
the Panama canal.
In 1927 Virgin islanders became
citizens of the U. S. In 1936 con
gress allowed them a local legis
lative system. When he appointed
their most recent governor, Presi
dent Truman chose William H.
Hastie, a Negro lawyer, since
about 90 per cent of the islanders
are of Negro descent.
In elevating Governor Hastie
to the bench of the United States
court of appeals last month the
highest judicial position ever held
by a Negro the president open
ed the way, so the islanders hope,
for the appointment of a native
son as governor.
Two Virgin islanders are being
considered for the post. One, Mor
ris de Castro, is now acting gov
ernor, and has been endorsed by
the legislative assembly. De Cas
tro is not strictly a native, as he
was born in Panama, but he has
lived in the islands most of his
life. He Is white.
,e
The other candidate is James
A. Bough, born 44 years ago on
the island of St. Croix and a Phi
Beta Kappa graduate of Colum
bia university and Columbia law
school.
Bough went back to the islands
on graduation and became law
clerk to the lieutenant governor.
In 193S President Roosevelt ap
pointed him United States attor
ney for the Virgin islands, the
highest position to which a native
hftd at that time been appointed.
He held that job for 10 years
until Dr. Ralph Bunche, head of
the United Nations trusteeship di
vision, sponsored him as chief of
the Caribbean section of the u. N
territories division. In this posi
tion he has been conducting U. N.
studies of all the non-self-governing
islands in the Caribbean area,
Bough is a Negro.
them Negroes, to whom the dem
ocratic party is Indebted. Loren
Miller, an attorney of Los An
geles, is one of them. He was one
of the lawyers who won the su
preme court decision which held
that restrictive covenants oarring
property sales on account of race
are unenforceable.
e e
A group of former new dealers
is said to be seeking the appoint
ment of a "Tugwell-type" gover
nor. They believe that a man of
the characteristics of Rexford
Tugwell, former governor of
Puerto Rico, Is needed to develop
the islands before a native gov
ernor is chosen. Observers give
this group little chance of suc
ceeding. .
One bar to the appointment of
a native governor is the fact that
people of the islands have no
voice in Washington. Unlike
Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii,
they are not represented In con
gress by a delegate.
But they are hoping that Presi
dent Truman, who appointed the
first native governor of Puerto
Rico, Jesus Pinero, and sponsor
ed a law which now allows Puer
to Rico to elect Its own governor,
will again follow the policy of
promoting self government in
American possessions.
Unlike Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico, the Virgin islands
are too small for their people
ever to aspire to statehood, They
are probably destined always to
remain a "possession." Neverthe
less the people aspire to as much
democratic self-government as,
that status will allow.
What they fear is that with no
voice in congress and no political
influence, the office of governor
will continue to be used as a re
ward for state-side politicians.

Oil helps grow food for you. ..in Hawaii
Beyond the Islands' coral beaches, behind
their blue, cliff-sharp hills, lie some of the
most efficiently mechanized farming areas
in all the world.
The pineapple you eat and much of the
sugar you serve are crown, not in calm-
shaded tropical valleys, but on broad fields of rich, red soil . . . contour
plowed, expertly cultivated, carefully harvested.
And in all these jobs, oil plays a major part.
Oil powers plows and cultivators; petroleum emulsions control weeds in
fields of young cane and pineapple plants; at harvest time, huge Diesel
machines rake and load 130 tons of cane an hour, and ripe pineapples are
gathered on conveyor belts. Trucks and barges speed the harvest to can
neries and mills.
Supplying the oil Hawaii needs has been Standard of California's job ever
since kerosene lamps burned in Honolulu's lighthouse. Today, this service
has spread to all the Islands . . . provides millions of gallons 'of petroleum
sroducts every year . . . helps insure better living for the Islanders and better

in what they reveal. Okay, you
can hitch your camera to a
