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.

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.

(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.

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.

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
