NOTHING TO BOAST ABOUT
Time was when we were able to boast in this column about
the fine response made by the people of the county in money
raising drives for such organizations as the Red Cross, the
polio foundation, the Boy scouts and others. No longer is this
the case. Except for the polio fund we believe that there has
been a failure to reach the local quota in every campaign for
over five years.
With the population larger it is difficult to find reasons
for the condition unless it results from the multiplicity of
drives. The people are just tired of it all. In December it
was Christmas seals, in January the march of dimes, in
February the Red Cross, in March seals for the crippled
children fund and in April seals again for cancer. The state
community chest Deschutes county compartment is still un
filled and that means that the associated pocket for the Boy
scouts and the camp fire girls lacks the desired total.
Whether the too-many-drives condition would be remedied
by a properly organized and maintained community chest we
shall not guess. Perhaps that would help ; perhaps not. Per
haps, since this, thnt and the other drive moves in when a
community is found to be responsive the community chest
idea would not work. Perhaps it would if its managers and the
community took on a hard-boiled attitude and refused to par
ticipate unless high standards were established and main
tained. Perhaps the one-time high degree of success has resulted in
a constant addition to the local quota for one drive or another
that has built the load to an unbearable point. With the Red
Cross the local response was a factor taken into account in
setting the request for the next year, and when that fact be
came known discouragement on the part of donors resulted.
At one time, too, there was a certain amount of rivalry and
a spirit of competition in the Red Cross drive when the quota
allotted to each county was known. The figures are no longer
announced and the rivalry has gone.
Some day, perhaps, we can boast again but there's not
much on the record to boast about in this business of contri
butions to state or nation-wide causes.
MILLIONS OF WORDS
To Harris Ellsworth, U. S. representative from Oregon's
fourth district, we are indebted for interesting data on the
speaking propensities of the two divisions of our national leg
islature. From his f igurej, it may readily be seen that the low
'cr house is by no means inarticulate but the senate record
makes the representatives seem almost taciturn by compari
son. Total output of the 435 representatives in the current
session is given as 3,141,850 words, enough for 2,027 pages of
the Congressional Record ; but 96 senators talked 2,607 pag
es, a matter of 4,040,850 words. The senate, only a shade more
than 22 per cent as strong numerically, nevertheless out
classed the house by 30 per cent when it came to oratory.
"Speech is silver, silence is gold", according to one of the
variations of an old adage. To the senate, iteems, should go a
silver medal ; to the house one of gold of white gold at least.
The other day the Oregoniah said:, '
Several Indiscreet lecture bureaus In Washington and New
York recently revealed how much a banquet must pay to hear
personal words of wisdom from our national makers or laws.
' Senator Morse is one of the most indefatigable on the lec
ture circuit. Wonder what his fee excuse it, honorarium is.
And were those two times when he was absent and thus un
recorded in that CIO "right" column occasions when he was
off making a lecture platform appearance ?
We observe with pleasure that Harold Ickes is damning the
interior department that he once headed and that the depart
ment is damning Harold. We are betting that each is right.

KEMANUFACTIJRE MEANS
JOBS
(Mcdfortl Mali-Tribune)
Most cities and towns are eag
er to welcome new industries
though very few muko any real
istic effort to lure payroll pro
ducing businesses. Municipalities
have found that where new In
dustries are planned there am us
ually many obstacles, some affect
ing the entire community such
as zoning, limitation of water sup
plies, poor access to transporta
tion facilities, fire protection, olc,
and last but not least, the objec
tion of private property owners,
e
Portland Is approaching the
matter In n big way through the
recent launching of a campaign
by lis chamber of commerce. The
city, says the chamber president,
is at the economic crossroads
where It can either progress,
tread water or decline. The or
ganization is determined that the
progress road shall be the one
followed.
Portland's chamber, among oth
er tilings, proposes sprclticRlly
that greater emphasis be given
the promotion of remanufactur
ing in the field of lumber, and
more attention to the tourist In
dustry two steps which many of
the smaller cities of the state
might well emulate.
e
Here In the Medford vicinity
more progress hits been made in
the past couple of years In respect
to lumber remanutacture than for
a long time previously. It has re
quired vision and capital to estab
lish the plants which are now pro
ducing a wide variety of items
from our lumber.
For years heretofore, most of
the smaller operators were eon
tent to saw a log Into rough lum
ber, load it inlo ears, ship It mil
and get their profit, whatever tlte
latter might lie, with minimum
handling uf the product.
e
Now more logs are being given
n full treatment, Willi the lesnlt
that fine, finished, kiin-dried lum
ber, doors, window frames, even
down to moulding and window
Bhade rollers are being turned
out. Each such development pio
virion more man hours of employ
wont and anything which the city,
civic group or others can do lo
encourage this additional Industry
should by ail means be done.

In the mud flghl between the

As chairman of the state dem

but keep It clean. No punching

each cither's past. No rattling of

them to bury their different

By Pe(r Edson
(UuiUHi Press Stuff Curretumndent)
Washington (NEA) While the
Idea of a closer union among
western European countries is
making slow headway, there Is
at least one French political lead
er who Is for it. He is M. Paul
Reynaud, a deputy In the French
National Assembly and president
of the economic commission of
the consullive European assem
bly. He is making a month's tour
of the United States, promoting
interest in European union.
M. Reynaud is an amazing
character. He Is 72 years old, a
political lone wolf all his life and
a tough little mountaineer who is
as spry as a man of 50. He was
premier of France in 19-10, after
12 years In the assembly and cab
inet. ' I
Ho was a pre-war supporter of
financial union with (Jreat Bri
tain. He supported young . Gen.
Charles de C.aulle's idea on mech
anization of the French army.
But he surrounded himself with
men who turned against him, anil
when France fell, M. Raynaud
fell with her. He spent the five
war years In a German prison.
Though he was 68 years old
when liberated, he Immediately
began a political comeback. He
lias made "United Europe his
principal political capital, though
his following is still unimportant.
He sees faint hope In the fact
that there Is now functioning a
council of Europe. It has two
bodies a council of some 20 min
isters and the larger consultlve
assembly. The trouble Is the con
sullive assembly can't talk about
anything unless the subject is ap
proved by the council of minis
ters. The assembly can't talk about
defense of Europe, for Instance.
M. Raynaud wants a "European
army" and a European general
staff, lie wants German troops
in that army not as German
units but as Europeans.
Today M. Renaud puts defense
high on the list of Europe's prob
lems. On one side of Europe is
Russia with 175 divisions. Willie
he puts one allied division as
equal In strength and firepower
lo two or three Russian divisions,
the balance Is still heavily with
Russia. A balance of power is
maintained on the other side of
Europe only by American pos
session of the atomic bomb in a
cold war.
Russia and lis satellites have a
population of 30O.(XXUXK). The
United Slates has a population of
lrxi.OOO.OOO with the purchasing
power of 4o0.000.UKX In western
Europe there is no countrv with
a population of over 41UX0.000.
Countries of that size are too
small to compete, says M. Rev-1
naud. Hut a united western Eu
rope would have a population of ;
2jO.000.000 and would be a force
in the world. That Is the primary
argument for European union
But there are those who fear
lo disturb the status quo, says
M. Renaud. They fear that a un
ion of Europe will mean lowering
of trade barriers and resulting
unemployment. They overlook the
fact that Europe has high em
ployment now only because of
tne Marsnaii plan. He gives that
plan full credit. When it is over,
however, then Europe will face
the threat of real unemployment
if it does not have union. The
status quo will not last.-
One of the main troubles in
Europe, M. Reynaud believes, is
mat Europe does not have enough
machine tools for mass produc
tion. They cannot be made prof
itably for small countries, for
their own use alone.
Here the French political lead
er comes up with his new idea
for continued American aitl to
Europe. He points to a surplus of
machine tools in the United
States. He does not ask that this
surplus be given to Europe. He
does suggest that there be Amer
ican guarantees to private ma
chine tool makers who will sell
to the private industry manufac
turers of Europe.
Truck Driver
Held as Killer
San Jose, Calif., April IS HI'i
A murder charge will be filed to
day against truck driver Henrv
A. Wilson, 29-year-old ex-convict
who confessed slaying a red-haired
waitress with a tire hammer.
Wilson said he killlcri Mrs. Hel

children, In a quarrel over driv
ing his car last Wednesday night
at the Highway bar where she
worked.
Wilson said the quarrel started
when he refused to let her drive
his ear. Ho saitl she was loo
drunk.
Wilson said he hit her with his
fists, knocking her out. He lieln-
ed her come to, he said, but she
again insisted on driving.
Wilson said he knocked her out
again, put her in the back scat
of his car and began driving.
ane came to untl started yell
ing, so I hit her on the head with
my truck tiro hammer," he said.
He said he took her to a lonely
ravine and tossed her body down
a 25-foot bluff. The body was
found that morning in the branch-I
es of a prune tree. j
Predicts Drop
In Poultry Price
Result of a recent U. S. depart
ment of agriculture announce
ment that poultry and turkey
prices will not be supported this
year will be a price squeeze for
poultry meat producers, includ
ing turkey raisers, according to
Noel Bennion, OSC poultry spe
cialist. Bennion says that the trouble
stems from the fact that poultry
and turkey meat prices are now
without support, while feed grain,
especially wheat and corn, con
tinue under support.
Central Oregon produced about
00,000 market turkeys last year
and indications are that growers
will produce approximately the
same number this year. The area
also produces approximately 60,
000 broilers and fryers each year.
Brazil has extensive deposits of
oil shale.

Legalized Hiring
Hall Advocated
Washington, April 18 UPi
Democrats on a senate labor sub
committee today were reported
circulating a tentative draft of a
report recommending that the
union hiring hall be legalized in
the maritime industry. ,
The subcommittee scheduled a
meeting this afternoon to discuss
the report. If it should be ap
proved by the democratic major
ity, it is certain to provoke a dis
sent from Sen, Robert A Taft, R.,
O., and Forrest C. Donnell, R.,
Mo.
Courts have ruled that the
Taft-Hartley law forbids the un
ion hiring hall, under which mari
time companies can hire only
union members as longshoremen
and seamen. This interpretation
was based on the provision ban
ning the closed shop.
Despite administration objec
tions to piecemeal changes in the
Taft-Hartley law, the sub-committee
has held hearings on propos
als for legalizing the maritime
hiring hall. It heard warnings
that serious maritime strikes may
occur unless the hiring hall is
restored.
It was understood the tentative
report contains only recommen
dations and does not spell out
language for amending the Taft
Hartley law. It would be up to
the full labor committee to draft
and act on a bill.
The sub-committee is aligned,
5 to 2, in opposilton to the Taft
Hartley law. The four democra
tic members and Sen. Wayne L.
Morse, R., Ore., have consistently
opposed the act, while Taft and
Donnell have supported it.
The first real senate test this
year between the friends and foes
of the act is expected on Presi
dent Truman's plan to abolish
Robert N. Denham's job as Inde
pendent counsel for the national
labor relations board. The Taft
Hartley law created the job to
handle prosecution of unfair la
bor practices.
By a 9 to 4 vote, the senate
committee on executive expendi
tures yesterday approved Taft's
resolution asking the senate to
reject the proposals.
O. & C. DEFEATS IDAHO
Corvallls, April 18 Uf -Oregon
State college came from behind
yesterday to defeat the Idaho
Vandals 8 to 4 before a crowd
of 3,000 in a northern division
Pacific coast conference baseball
game.
Ray Snyder slammed two home
runs and . Gene Tanselll hit an
other to provide the big blasts
for the Beavers, who were trail
ing 4-1 after two innings of play.
Snyder's three-run homer in the
third Inning sparked a five-run
rally.
Eleven errors by both teams
contributed to the scoring.
The two teams play again this
afternoon.
In the discovery of gold, chance
has played a big part; evidence
of ore has been brought to the
surface by burrowing animals,
and gold has been found in the
