HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT EVERYTHING IS...?
An entertaining feature at the recent annual dinner meet
ing of the Mazamas was the reading by a member of the club
of a clipping relating to the observations of a middle aged
man regardinjr'some of the things he had been noticing in
himself, his contemporaries and others. The member, we
gathered, had somewhat forgotten his age on a club outing
and this was his apology.
Later we found the paragraphs reprinted in the Oregon
City Enterprise and then, a few days later, in the Saturday
Review of Literature. All these reproductions seem to put
the material in the public domain and, thinking that our read
ers will like to read it, we otrer it here today, as follows :
Everything is farther than it used to be. It s twice as lar
from my house to the station now, and they've added a hill that
I've Just noticed. The trains leave sooner, too, but I've given up
running for them because they go faster than they used to.
Seems to me thty are making staircases steeper than in the
old days. The risers are higher and the: are more of them be
cause I've noticed it's harder to make two at a time. It's all one
can do to make one step at a time.
Have you noticed tne small print they are using lately? News
papers are getting farther and farther away; when I hold them
I have to squint to make out the news. Now it's ridiculous to
suggest that a person of my age needs glasses, but it's the only
way I can find what's going on without some one reading aloud
to me. and that isn't much help because everyone seems to speak
In such a low voice I can scarcely hear them.
' Times sure are changing, 'lhe barber doesn't hold a mirror
behind me v en he is finished so I can see the back of my head.
The materiai in my clothes, I notice, shrinks in certain places
(you know, like around the waist, or in the seat). Shoe laces are
so short they are next to impossible to reach.
Even the weather is changing. It's getting colder in winter,
and the summers are hotter man in the goou old days. Snow is
much heavier when I attempt to shovel it, and rain is so much
wetter that I have to wear rubbers. I guess the way they build
windows now makes drafts more severe.
People are changing, too. For one thing they are younger
than they used to be wnen I was their age. On the other hand,
people my own age are so much older than I am. I realize thot
my own generation is approaching middle age (to me, that is
roughly between 20 and 101). But there is no reason for my class
mates tottering blissfully into senility.
I ran into my roommate the other night and he had changed
so much that he ' In't recognize me. "You've put on a little
weight. Bob," 1 said. "It's this modern food," Bob replied. It
seems to be more fattening."
I got to thinking about poor Bob this morning while I was
shaving. Stopping a moment, I looked at my own reflection in the
mirror. They don't use the same kind of glass in mirrors any
more. . . -
"Middle Age Musings, or It's Later Than You Think", is
the title in the Enterprise. Have you a better one?
While we ire talking about taxes let us not forget that

WASHINGTON COLUMN
By Peter Edson '
(N'EA Washington Correspondent)
Washington There may have
been more than meets the eye in
attempts by Judy Coplon's -de
fense counsel to regain posses
sion of the papers found in her
purse. Ihese papers were seized
by the FBI when Judy was ar
rested with the Russian UN en
gineer Valentin A. Gubichev, in
New York last March.
The first trial of Judy Coplon
In Washington last summer,
which resulted in her conviction
on charges of espionage, reveal
ed what may be regarded as the
new defense technique in cases
dealing with alleged communist
activities. It was an effort by
Judy's attorney, Archibald Pal
mer, to make the prosecution dis
close in public all the secret in
formation on communist spying
in its possession.
This experience in the first
Copion trial put government at
torneys on guard. That is why
they opposed Palmer's second at
tempt to make the government
give back all the papers found in
Judy's purse. Judge Sylvester
Ryan in New York has now ruled
in the prosecution's favor, so the
government gets to keep its se
crets, for the time being at least.
a a a
In the first Coplon trial, At
torney Palmer obtained rulings
from Judge Albert L. Reeves
which put in evidence 22 of the
34 abstracts, or secret data slips
found in Judy's purse. U. S. at
torneys and the FBI have refused
to discuss these slips. But as read
into the record of the first trial,
they disclosed evidence which the
FBI had obtained on spy activi
ties against the United States by
foreign embassy officials in
Washington.
The government was success
ful in keeping the other 12 data
slips secret. Attorney Palmer ar
gued that if part were introduced
in evidence, ail should be intro
duced. U. S. attorneys argued
that their disclosure would en
danger national security by re
vealing the secret sources of gov
ernment anti-espionage Informa
tion. Judge Reeves declared that if
the government did not want
such matters introduced in evi
dence, it should not be in court.
But in leaning over backward to
give Judy Coplon a fair trial, the
Judge may unwittingly have play
ed into the hands of the commu
nists by revealing to them what
the government knew about their
activities.
In the matter of another top
secret report brought into the
start saving on all that federal
spending.

first Coplon trial room and shown
under seal, though not Introduced
in evidence, Judge Reeves did not
force disclosure ot contents, II
he had ordered it opened, the
government might have been
forced to drop its charges, pre
ferring to lose its case against
Judy Coplon rather than make
public its secret information.
It is of course possible that
Attorney Palmer's Intent may
have been to force the govern
ment's hand this far, just to get
the charges against his client
dropped; But the main Intfnt
seems to have been this effort to
get anti-espionage Information
that would permit the commu
nists to cover up their exposed
tracks.
' t '
One other Incident supports
this belief. In Miss Coplon's first
trial, she admitted that she had
worked on government employe
loyalty tests, ohe declared teat
she protested against the stand
ards by which organizations were
put on the attorney general s list
of subversive "fronts." She said
that these standards were "re
volting" and that they "violated
all the principles of civil liber
ties." The catch In these statements
is that the standards for classi
fying any organization as a com
munist front have never been
made public. Organizations which
have been put on the list natu
rally desire Information about
these standards so that they can
reorganize under conditions that
would keep them off the list. If
the government could have been
forced to disclose those stand
ards by being forced to introduce
them as evidence in the Coplon
trial, that would have given the
front organizations just the in
formation they wanted.

and we were consiMiutMitly delay

mountain trail from The Dalles
Joined that on which we were
traveling. After passing for sev

plain, the trail entered a Ih-iiu-t

we traveled for several hours;
and about 4 o'clock descended
Into the valley of another large
branch, on the bottom of which
were simces of om pines, with
occasional meadows of ' good
grass, in one of which we en
camiH'd. The stream Is very swift
and deep, and about 40 feet wide,
and nearly half frown over.
Among the tlmticr here, are lar
ches 140 feet high, and over 3
feet In diameter. Wo had tonight
the line sight of a lunar rain
bow. December 5 Today the coun
try was all pine forest, end beau
tiful weather made our Journey
delightful. It was too warm at
noon for winter clothes; and the
Snow, which lay every where In
patchi's through the lot est. was
melting rapidly. After a few
hours' ride, we came u)on a fine
stream In the midst of the for
est, which proved to lie the prln
climl branch of Fall river. It was
occasliflially 200 feet wide- some
times narrowed to 50 feet: the
waters very clear, and frequent
ly deep. We ascended along the
river, which sometimes presented
sheets of foaming cascades; Its
luink.s occasionally blackened with
masses ot scoriated rock, and
found a good encampment on the
verge of an oen bottom, which
had been an old camping ground
of the Cayuse Indians. A great
number of deer horns were ly
ing about, Indicating game In the
neighborhood. The timber was
uniformly large; some of the
pines moii.su ring 22 dot in cir
cumference at the ground, and
12 to 13 feet at six feet above.
In all our Journeying, we had
never traveled .through n coun
try where the rivers were so
abounding In falls, and the name
ot this stream is singularly char
acteristic. At every place where
we come In the neighborhood of
the river. Is heard the roaring
of the falls. The rock along the
banks of the stream, and the
ledge over which it falls, is a
scoi laied basalt, with bright me
tallic fracture. The stream goes
over in one clear pitch, succeed
ed by a foaming cataract of sev
eral hundred yarc's. In the little
bottom above the falls, a small
stream discharges Into an enton
nolr, and disappears below.
We had made an early encamp
