TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1950 THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND. OREGON PAGE NINE Like to Meet Their Candidates London, Feb. 21 IP British voters like to meet their politi cians lace to face within easy arguing distance instead of hear ing them over the radio., So that is the way it is here lots of small meetings of a few hundred or few thousand persons, and few radio broadcasts. Prime minister Clement R. Att lee used the radio only once in this general election campaign to choose a new parliament. Win ston Churchill also was on the air only one time. Broadcasting here is a govern ment chartered monopoly. To American ears the programs are dull for the most-part, but are livened up occasionally by adult entertainment in which the actors Curse if the script requires it or even mention adultery if the plot requires. By agreement among the polit ical parties radio time for this campaign was divided up this way: Time Divided The labor and conservative Darties each got five broadcasts, .hree of 30 minutes and two of 20 minutes. The liberal party, somewhat smaller, got one 20 minute broadcast allotment and two of 10 minutes. Any other Darty with as many as 50 candi- dates got one 10 minute allot ment. All were nation-wide broad casts. There is no local broadcast ing here. Only the communist party qualified under that latter restric tion, and they got 10 minutes. The communists have nearly 100 can didates, . but probably will be lucky to hold the two seats they had in the last parliament. .. This election campaign began by legal stipulation . on Feb. 3. Churchill made his only broad cast last Friday night. He came on in mid-evening after a 15 mm ute news period. There were sev erai moments of silence, ended by an announcer exclaiming: "Politi cal broadcast!" He said it with the inflection you might use in shout ing "low bridge" or "measles in the house." Then Churchill was announced by name and began his speech. Prime minister Attlee . had his Say on the BBC last Sat urday night. Both Woo Scotland Both Attlee and Churchill spoke in Edinburgh last week. Both were major campaign speeches seeking Scotland's fa vor. Neither was broadcast although it was there that Churchill utter ed what now is called his "Edin burgh declaration" that there should be a big three conference among Premier Stalin, President Truman and the next British prime minister to end the cold war. That slatement was heard around the world, except in Bri tain. The British Broadcasting company did not include it in its newscast later that evening. It was deemed to be a political ut terance and therefore taboo. The United Press bureau here called the BBC that night to in quire why Churchill's plan had not been mentioned in later news casts and got the political-utterance explanation. Works Bolh Ways "Suppose it had been the prime minister making a campaign speech and he had announced the meat ration would be raised to five pounds a week, what would . you have done then?" the BBC man was asked. "I would have fainted," he re plied. The night Attlee spoke in Edin burgh the socialist party had radio broadcasting time allotted to it, but the prime minister was not put on the air. Instead the party's speaker was Peggy Herbi son, a miner's daughter, who was a member of the old parliament and who is running again. Here it is now two days before an election as,critical as any in British history and there hasn't been a political address on the air since last Saturday. There won't be any more, either. All parties used up their time last week. ! .... .. i ... 4 ff - (NEA Telrnhotn) VOTE OP CONFIDENCE - Re publican William B. Widnall gives out with a big smile In Hacken sack, N.

"The house was almost gone by the time we got there," said fire men Hugh Denni6. "All we could do was Just stand there and watch it burn. We didn't have a chance against the flames." Dr. Robert Huebmer said Mrs. Beagle told him at the hospital ('there isn't any use going out there." "They're all dead," she sobbed. "I saw all of them there before I got out." Mrs. Beagle stumbled through four inches of snow and ice to the Miller home. The temperature was nine above at the time of the fire.
