DRIVES AND THE COMMUNITY CHEST Another campaign f&r funds is on. Its objective is a worthy one to provide help for crippled children and adults. The proceeds are to aid in operation ot a cniiaren s nospiui scnooi in Eugene, in paying for medical and surgical tare, in pur chasing special appliances for the physically handicapped, in offsetting the overhead of a craft shop selling articles made by crippled persons, in supporting the Portland rehabilitation center and in providing summer recreation camps ior crip- pled youngsters. The campaign had excellent support in Des chutes county last year. It will again this year, we are sure, Wf hone so. But, as we say this, we reflect that it is one of a growing list of projects whose solicitations Dy-pass tne community chest, which was intended to make possible one big solicita tion that would include and make provision for all worthy causes. Others which conduct separate drives are the Red Cross (as far as we know, that one isn't finished yet), the polio "March of Dimes", the Cancer fund, the Tuberculosis and health association, and the Salvation Army. There are probably more, but these will do to illustrate the point. Each of the campaigns undertaken separately serves to weaken interest in the Community chest. Each is a competitor with the others for subscriptions instead of adding its own peculiar appeal to that of the others. The aggregate of time spent in carrying on the various campaigns is far in excess of that which would be required in conducting one unified ap peal. The aggregate cost ot all is greater than the combined cost if all were one. And one-by-one drives become a burden to the people who are called on with increasing frequency for donations to this and to that. In the main, these suggestions are but a re-statement of the arguments which were given years ago for the formation of a Community chest. It is necessary to re-stato them now be cause new, or not included campaigns are threatening the con tinuation of the chest plan. Reasons given for outside-the-chest drives are varied. Red Cross says that it must campaign independently under its membership form of organization, March of Dimes has a dif ferent (in some respects) plan of solicitation which it cannot or is unwilling to merge in a general campaign ; so has Tu berculosis and health association. Cancer fund backers have apparently given no thought to seeking inclusion of their needs in the local chest set-up; in Clackamas county they have, and there this solicitation is not a separate one. Crip pled children and adults, we think, would be eligible for in clusion in the state chest program. Perhaps this organization has not asked, but if it hasn't, it should. Salvation army, although one of its institutions is provided for out of the state chest, has long been unwilling to conform to require ments for budget information and has remained, in conse quence, ineligible for local chest recognition. Besides the stated reason, some of- the organizations re maining" outside may have come to. the conclusion that they can get more money by independent action. Perhaps some can, but in doing so they are very probably lessening the support given others both inside and outside the chest How the question may be solved is not, as wo see it, with in the province of the chest organization ; it is something that must be decided by the people from whom donations are sought. After the next chest program is drawn, or, as a matter of fact, as soon as current drives are over, any notice able reluctance on the part of the public to give to non-included projects would, we are sure, create desire for inclusion in one unified undertaking.

Memphis, Tenn., March 21 (U-i A flying saucer with windows on the bottom and a blinking iigtjt on top flew over Arkansas List night at a "tremendous rate of speed," two airline; pilots report ed here. Capt. Jack Adams of Chicago & Southern Air Linos radioed the Memphis airport control tower that he and co-pilot CJ. W. Antler, son saw the object over Stuttgart, Ark., at 10:20 p.m. (EST). "It was flying almost due north and we crossed Its path at about a 15-degree angle, Adams said. "It was about 1,000 feet above us and was traveling at u tremendous rale of sored. "It had a peculiarly colored and very intense light on the top w h i c h blinked very rapidly. I could tell it was circular because of lighted windows on the under side of it. They were arranged in a perfect circular pattern. ". . . We kept the object in sight for about 45 seconds, until it dis appeared from sight, presumably because of its speed. I would estimate that it was traveling between 500 and G00 miles per hour." WOULO BK THEIU BOYS (Klamath Herald & News) Glenn Lee, publisher of the Pasco Kennewick Richland Til City Herald, was asked what the people of the Columbia basin pro- per thought of the CVA propos als. The answer came without hesitation, "All 1he democrats are for it and all the republicans are against it." . . . The recent IlitchcockKlegel debate at Mid land could be boiled down lo one point, on which members of the two parties take sides. Ihe re publicans see that in effect the three-man board would have com plete legislative, judicial and ad minis', rative power, with no re course other than through the president by whom they would be appointed. GOP's rebel against that. Demos are for it the three would be their boys. By Peter Edson (NEA Washington Correaijomlent) Washington (NEA) Whut might be called a "McCarran Plan" to replace the Marshall plan" for European aid has re cently been unveiled in the U. S. senate. Author of the new plan is, of course, Sen. Pat McCarran of Nevada. He is chairman of the so called Marshal plan "watchdog" committee the joint congression al committee on foreign economic cooperation. But in this case, it would appear that the watchdog is preparing to run off with what it is supposed to be guarding. The McCarran plan has been made public through two senate documents and a fine-type state ment printed in the congressional Record, None received much, if any, attention because all - look routine and innocent. But buried in a "watchdog" committee "staff study," a McCarran report on his personal observations in Europe last year, and the McCarran state ment are recommendations which, If adopted by congress, would al most certainly lead to or force the resignation of Paul G. Hoffman as Economic cooperation adminis trator. The McCarran plan is that drastic, and that much in conflict with what are known to be Mr. Hoffman's views on how ECA should be run. Main point In the McCarran plan would be ending lump sum appropriations for ECA and sub stituting specific appropriations ny congress lor designated pur poses. Up to now, Mr. Hoffman has Insisted on general appropria tions, wanting to keep his opera tion as flexible as possible to pro vide relief and recovery where they were most needed, as condi tions changed. 000. For the international RFC, $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. For guarantees to U. S. investors, $300,000,000. This would total between 2,- 300,000,000 and $2,800,000,000. And on the basis of the $2,900,000,000 now requested by Mr. Hoffman for third-year Marshall plan op erations, the McCarran plan would leave him only $100,000,000 to $600,000,000 to conduct the "all other programs" which now con stitute the whole ECA operation. m It will be recalled that last year Senator McCarran tried to put over a $50,000,000 forced ECA loan for Spain. On top of that, Sen. John McClellan of Arkansas tried to put over an amendment that would have required ECA to buy U. S. farm surpluses for Eu rope. The McClellan amendment was so bad that even the three U. S. farm organizations grange, farm bureau and farmers union opposed it. That was enough to kill it then. But with lower farm prices, this clumping provision will be hard to beat this year. . The McCarran forced loan to Spain was beaten only after her culean hammering on the fact that Spain was not a Marshall plan country and could not be come one unless admitted to OE EC the Organization for Euro pean Economic Cooperation. The new McCarran plan, of course, goes far beyond the amendments attempted last year. What it would amount to is con verting the European aid pro gram into an American aid pro gram. And it is much more care fully prepared. COMMUNICATIONS Communications art invititt on mat ters of current und local in te rent.

M Alii II TOO SHOUT Bend, March 20, 1050 To the Editor: It seems that since the war the city commission has Ihe power lo regulate the time to suit them selves. It also appears that at least a few layoplo in town like lo have the city commission run the time a head.-, so they will have tune lo mow their lawns. I wonder if the city commission would consider doing a little fav or for the farmers. We have con siderable work that should be clone In March, but March doesn't seem to belong enough, ho would . they please extend March into April for a couple of months. Bruce L. Dyer Rt. 1, Box 30J UIH1.1C.YI. I'AKAI.I.KL SEKN BY WUlTUIt ( ltosebu rg N e ws-1 ! ev I e w ) A Koseburg man, spending the holidays in Los Angeles, sends us a clipping from the Los Angeles Times. The clipping was taken from the "Letters to the. Editor" column. The writer, commenting upon the political ambitions ol James Roosevelt, and particularly his appeal to "young democrats ' to help him, finds a Biblical par allel in the story of King Solo mon and his son, Rehoboam. He recites the 10th chapter of II Chronicles, In which the people complained of grievous taxes imposed by Solomon and petitioned Rehoboam to case their servitude. But Rehoboam hearkened to advice from the young men "that were brought up with him." They advised him to Increase taxes, and the result was the revolt of the 10 tribes. What Senator McCarran now proposes are specific appropria tions by congress for five pro grams: 1. U. S. financing of a l'.uropean clearing nouse pro gram, which Mr. Hoffman has been trying to get the ECA coun tries lo adopt voluntarily. 2. Pur chase of U. S. surplus farm prod ucts ior Europe. J. creation of an international reconstruction fi nance corporation. (U would ap parently make loans instead of financing recovery grams.) 4. Guarantee of American investors against loss of property by confis cation, nationalization or other po litical risk. 5. All other programs. Senator McCarran presents no recommended sums for anv of these programs. But the follow ing estimates have been tinder consideration by the watchdog committee staff: For the clearing house. $500,000,000. For purchase of U. S. farm surpluses, $1,000..

DISAPPEARANCE PROVED Vancouver, Wash., March 21 HI') The disappearance of Joan Dew ey, la, Battleground, wash., was investigated by Vancouver and Portland police. Several witnesses said the girl may have been abducted. Miss Dewey, an employe at the Portland sanitarium, was en route to St. Joseph's hospital here Sun day night and planned to get a ride with a friend to Battleground. Nurses at St. Joseph's said they saw her under a street light near by and heard her scream. Then, they said, they saw two men beat her up and throw her into a black sedan which sped off in the night. One witness said he thought it was a family fight. OUT ON THE FARM By Ha S. Grant March 21 If you want to have your cake and eat it too, make a double recipe. Last night we had sort of a "kitchen party." It all happened because ice cream in gallon lots is such a bargain. Only a few cents more thf n for two quarts. Also, ice cream is a local product, and if everybc dy bought a gallon every time tw o quarts were re quired, we'd have to import more cows. The more cows, the more fertilizer, and the more fertilizer, the more green grass. The more green grass, the more hay, and the more hay, the more cows. (That lived in the house that Jack built.) . A neighbor had promised to decorate a cake for my birthday, so I got busy and baked one right after dinner, singing "Happy birthday, dear Ha," as I worked. As a matter of fact, I was glad to use up some of the eggs. I could sell the surplus, I suppose, but it seems ungrateful to the hens to gather up the fruits of their labors and give them to some one for a few paltry shekels. Besides, no one would appreciate them as much as I do. I'd rather use lots of eggs and buy less of something else, if you see what I mean. Well, the cake batter grew and grew, and by the time I folded in the egg whites, there was enough to fill the tube pan and a casser ole besides. I made a double recipe of seven-minute icing, too, and it nearly overflowed the double boiler. There was so much that I had to hold the electric beater away from the bottom of the pan, to keep from submerging the motor. The more it cooked, the more it expanded. I felt like the bride who cooked a quart of raw rice, and soon had rice in every kettle in the house. Frosting the cakes was not the crowning success that it should have been, because the icing in the bottom of the pan didn't get stirred enough, and came out sort of rubbery. This resulted in a somewhat lumpy effect, as the artist remarked critically as he prepared to put on the decora tions. Watching the decorating was downright fascinating. Our guest went about his work with a sure ness that comes from long experi ence. He made icing with powder ed sugar and egg white, and tint ed it delicate pastel colors. Then he made little tubes of waxed paper, and inserted his decorating tips in the points. These were filled with icing, and he started to create. Before our eyes, ' pink carna tions burst into bloom on the cake, and the happy birthday message took shape. The artist fluted the edge of the cake with a two-tone swag that looked like sea shells. Then as we watched, with white icing he made a pair of little doves, with a few deft strokes, to grace the handles of the cake plate. They looked real enough to coo, when he dipped The first wire nail machine in America began operation in 1851. rum i 1 PLANNED ECONOMY (Klamath Herald and News) Definition of a planned econo my: One in which the govern ment holds S151,WH,(i2!) worth of i tobacco. il."."),10!).3'r2 worth ol cot Ion, SWlMl'.l.tvjti worth of wheat.
