NO "BRASS Through the past week the paper circles that I he Oregonian was being spanked by an advertiser, the tremendously wealthy Meier & Frank com pany, which had apparently taken offense at a news report of tne iinaings or a national labor relations board examiner in regard to Meier & Frank labor practices. Suddenly, after the appearance of the news report, ine greater part ot the display advertising which readers were accustomed to see in the ii. was iair to aeauce, was one ot cause ana effect. Saturday The Oregonian confirmed this. In a modest Rtate ment, as considered and restrained as the action of the de partment store had been hasty paper's general manager. M. J. tion of "many pages of advertising already set in type in the a vviuisvoiuH I UUUI lirtu 1UI1UWCU illllimUlUUMy Vile printing of the news of the examiner's report. No direct rea son for this arbitrary move was given, nor do we think that one was needed. From the facts, only one conclusion could be drawn ; management of the big store had assumed that the purchase of vast amounts of advertising gave it the veto power on news in which the store, figured. The assumption was faulty but the advertiser nevertheless applied the "or else" with which it may believe The Oregonian will be brought to heel. - The attitude here exemplified is not a novel one although, happily, it is also far from common. Advertisers in general, it has been our long observation, understand well that they receive full value for their dollars in space, in circulation, in service, in expert typographic treatment of their copy and in ; equally expert press work to bring the finished whole to the favorable attention of the reader. That is only part of it; , -they realize that reader confidence is one of the greatest val . -r ues offered them and they know that the newspaper must merit sucn commence through its tair and adequate coverage of the news if tha advertising in the same publication is to be accepted as worthy and sincere. . . As to the newspaper, its primary function is to present the news as it comes, to explain the news according to the con yictiona of the editorial writers and to afford the opportunity for the expression of pertinent opinion (whether in agree ment or in opposition) by others. Secondarily it is an adver tising medium.. The first responsibility must be met before th$ second may; be satisfactorily undertaken. ,; In its stand on the situation which has developed in Port land, The Oregonian has acted in the only way in which it cquiu act ana retain its seit respect and the respect of its read ers. It has weighed great financial loss against principle and has chosen to accept the loss. Now and over the years it will be the more esteemed for its decision. Against some slight inconveniences resulting from the pil ing of snow in the center of downtown streets in preparation for removal, advantages appear which go to bear out the doc trine of compensation. Those who look always for the silver lining should be satisfied to note that cars are quite unable to complicate traffic by crossing the center line, that cutting corners in making intersection turns is automatically pre vented and that pedestrians hastening from one side of the street to the other have full side protection where their path pierces the snow pile. Both inconveniences and advan tages are, of course, temporary. In the simultaneous disap pearance of each, compensation will once more be exempli- Angry Southern Democrats Hit Truman Administration By Lyln C. Wilson (United Praia Staff Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 16 Uli Angry southern democrats have fired their lirst campaign year broad side against the Truman admin istration. Announcement that James F. Byrnes, former senator, supreme court justice and secretary ot state, would run for governor of South Carolina was followed by news from Alabama. Alabama's democratic executive committee will try to bar from the state's 1950 ballot candidates who were loyal to President Tru man In the 1948 presidential elec tion. There is more to come. Gov. J. Strom Thurmond will go before South Carolina's legis lature Wednesday with an all-out attack on the administration, lie was the 1948 state's rights presi dential candidate. Thurmond speaks also as chairman of the southern governors conference, a spot to which he was hoisted unanimously at the conference meeting last November In Blloxl, Miss. Timing Significant Thurmond's attack on Mr. Tru man this week will pre view his probable campaign for South Carolina's democratic senatorial nomination against Sen. Olin I). Johnston. It also will be signifi cant tor its timing. Thurmond's address to the leg islature comes about 10 days be fore a southern conference spon sored by the administration In Raleigh, N. C. Vice-president Al ben W. Barkley will star as Jefferson-Jackson banquet speaker Jan. 28 after an afternoon of pro administration fireworks.

CHECK" HERE word was going around in news there was a disappearance of Portland paper. The (sequence, and unrestrained, the news Frev. exolained that caneella. ston may decide on a direct at tack with the backing of labor. Jack Kroll, CIO political action di rector, was In South Carolina a fortnight ago looking the situa tion over. The expected Jnhnston-Thur-mond primary contest Is a toss up. Hut Byrnes is reported to he reasonably sure of the nomina tion for governor although there are now three other potential can didates in the field against him. One or more may drop out; per haps all of them. The democratic national com mittee meeting here last year ex pelled five members, including the Soulh Carolina representa tion. Mr. Truman told (he com mittee in a buoyant off-the-cuff speech that he might campaign outside Missouri in this veur's primary contests to help 'mem bers of congress who supported his program. If he did so, an invasion of South Carolina In behalf of John ston would be likely, and In sup port of a pro-administration can didate for governor, assuming the administration decides to sponsor anyone against former Senator Jimmy.

VA officials have been gathering evi dence on this subject since mid November, though their detailed report win not be made public until submitted to Congress on Feb. 1. Release of this report Is almost certain to bring forth a .new flood of protests from the schools themselves and iheir G.I. stu dents. They claim that the VA has no right to decide what schools a G.I. attends or what and how many courses he takes, provided the costs fall within the dollar limits of educational bene fits to which they are entitled. This fight really goes back three years, when VA officials be gan to protest abuses under the G.I. bill. In September, 1948, VA arbitrarily Issued a .new set of regulations governing educational benefits below the college level. Ballroom dancing, bartending and other avocational and recreation al courses were banned. So were schools started after the G.I. bill was passed, correspondence courses and other "fly-by-night" schools. And vets were forbidden to switch from one line of in struction to another. This order, coming at the start of the school year, was of ques tionable legality. It created an up roar. 1'rotesls poured in on Con gress. Senator Taft of Ohio says he alone got 4000. The result was that this order was rescinded and a milder sub stitute Issued, It banned the same list of avocational "studies" but permitted vets to change courses, if In the same field. If in a new field, the student had to pass guidance and adaptability tests. This is the order under which (he system now operates under II. V. Stirling. VA assistant ad ministrator for Vocational Heh-i-bllitation and Education. Trade schools which have come under A scrutiny accuse Stirling of i being a high handed dictator, and are after his scalp. A bill to take the matter out of J VA control and re-regulate educa- i tional standards by law was In-1 troduced by Senator Taft last ' year. His bill passed the Senate1 out failed In tile House. It will be up for reconsideration next year. The schools don't like the Taft bill, either, because it puts loo many restrictions on them. Involved Tn this dispute are some 12.000 below-collegelcvel schools with 839.000 G.I. students. I his Is an increase of 1100: schools and 143,000 students over last year. It is the Increase which I bothers VA officials. Thry charge j that too many oi' the schools - about 7000 are operating pri marily for profit. ! What really bothers the VA, 1 however.

VA officials say they are reluc tant to put bans on any schools, but say they have a responsibility to the taxpayers and to the G.I. students, to make sure they get good Instruction. So far, nearly y9,000,000,000 has been spent on G.I. education. If only one per cent of this amount had been wasted on educational racketeer ing by diploma mills, it would omount to $90,000,000 since the end of the war. 3 Gunmen Make ,000 Haul Boston, Jan. 16 HI'p Three gun men, their faces masked with paper bags, staged a daylight holdup of the Hotel Statler tod iy and escaped with about $18,000 In cash and checks. Scene of the hold robbery was the general cashier's office on the mezzanine floor of the huge hotel, just above the crowded loooy. One of the three shoved Cash ier Goorpe Miles to the floor while a confederate held Income auditor F. L. Whaler and a third employe. Ralph De Loid. at gun point. A third robber stood guard at the office door. "Don't make a move." the lend er warned the seven hotel em ployes who were In the room. The money, representing week end receipts, had just hvn brought into the cashier's office in the accounting department from the main floor office. It still was in the small leather b.ig which Miles had used to transfer It to his office. The robbers grabbed the b;ig and fled down a short flight of stairs and through a rear en trance. Police said the robbers either escaped in an automobile or fled on foot.

My guess is that it will be some time bcfoe the water can be turned in for the periodic cistern-filling. We. aren't worried, though, be cause the City Fathers, like good neighbors, will let us haul water from town, for a small fee. Then next summer when the city is short of water, we'll return the favor by using our own, out of our irrigation ditch. Maybe we could even haul in a few cans of ditch water for our extra special friends.

Walter F. George, D., Ga., said today that congress- could cut President Truman's budget by at least ,soo,ooo,ooo without injur ing essential government servic es or repudiating foreign commit ments. Chairman of the senate com mittee and a leader of the econ omy bloc. George told reporters he thought it was possible for congress to balance the budget this year. But he said he did not know whether it would. Mr. Truman's $42,400,000,000 spending budget submitted to congress a week ago indicated a deficit of $5,000,000,000. George said the spending fig ure could be cut $2,500,000,000 to $3,000,000,000 "as a minimum" and might be cut "even much more." He was not ready to spec ify where he believed economies should be made, but added: I know that a $43,000,000,000 budget can be cut without injury to essential services or welshing on our international commit ments". Part of Struggle George's economy demand was part of the election-year struggle between the administration and the economy bloc to place the blame on each other for the red Ink in the government's ledger. It came as congress awaited Mr. Truman's special message on taxes which will add fuel to the deficit-spending dispute. The pres ident is expected to recommend a cut in wartime excise taxes but to propose other tax increases to make up'the difference. Evidence available now indicates that con gress will cut excises without raising other taxes, thus compli cating the budget-balancing prob lem. Gop Sens. Robert A. , Taft. O.. and Leverett Saltonstall, Mass., advocated economy in a radio de bate last night with democratic Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., and Russell Long, La, No Balance In Sight Taft predicted that if congress accepts Mr. Truman's $5,000,000,- OUU deficit prices will start going up last." He said he probably would not object to the presi dent's spending figure if a bal anced Duaget were in sight next year, but that his proposal "em braces the fatal policy of perman ent deficit spending." Saltonstall said congress should "carefully scrutinize" all new pro- Tumi i intXILL 1950 The word is getting around "If you want a real thrill, drive the new 1950 Chevrolet equipped with Powerglide automatic trans mission!"

Humphrey said the nation's economic outlook is bright and will continue to improve if Mr. Truman's program Is adopted. He said it would be a "shock" to the economy to cut the spending fig ure too deeply. Long said the indicated deficit "actually" was only $2,000,000, 000 since about $3,000,000,000 rep resented federal home loans, crop supports and other loans which would be repaid eventually. si i Klamath county Wants Jail Back Klamath Falls, Ore., Jan. 16 IPi Klamath county has filed suit to recover Its jail for Indians, it was disclosed today.
