MORE THAN IRRIGATION INVOLVED Inevitably, when the question of Bend's water supply and user demand for irrigation comes up for discussion metering enters the argument.; In almost every instance metering is talked about in ' association with lawn- and garden watering and positions are taken by the disputants according to their beliefs whether, on the one hand, metering will help to avoid water waste or, on the other, it will result in the drying up of green lawns. So far as we have observed there has never been any thought given in these meter discussions to the year around fairness of measuring water use by meters though thut, obviously, is a prime function of the device. : , Bend's present charges for water for domestic use are based on the number of water outlets in the building served. There are already, of course, today 515 water accounts but foj the greater number of users the charge is 'based on the number of water outlets. It takes but a moment's thought to bring the realization that charges based on outlets are full of inequality so far as .use, is concerned. Here is a home with a small family, here is another with a large family of growing children. Here. is one in which all the family clothes washing ; is done at home, Here is another where no such washing is done. Everything is sent-to the laundry or done at a self service establishment. This house has steam heat requiring a water supply. That one is heated by hot ai r. In each one of these homes the water service outlets for bath, toilet, lavatory, kitchen sink and laundry tubs may be the same so that all pay the same water charge yet the water use must vary to a high degree.' Is thia-fair? With meters cqst is divided according to the amount used. - Even assuming that without meters there is' no waste the individual house hold cost is unfairly allocated when the charge is based on other than actual measured consumption. As we said in the beginning discussion of water metering in Bend has, hitherto, revolved around the question of. irriga tion. As we have tried to show herein there is much more to the question than that. ' COLLECTION METHOD STILL ISSUE Report of the refusal of an organization of housewives in a Texas community to act as collectors of the social security tax on employes' pay suggests approval of the one-woman rebellion begun by Miss Vivian Kellems in 1949. Miss Kellems, it will be remembered, refused to make withholdings ifrom employes' wages to be applied against their federal income tax bills. She wasv equally unwilling to pay the bureau of internal revenue an amount equivalent to that which the law required her to withhold. When the bureau attached her bank account she brought suit to recover and, in doing so, questioned the constitutionality of the with- holding method of collection.' : . ' , : ' So far she has been winning in the courts. She has been . getting her money (Jack,. that is! tq'say, but there has been no ruling on the question Of constitutionality. It1 is just this . point on which the ; Texas ; housewives , are hanging their campaign of civil disobedience and it is still, as far as the courts are concerned, something which remains to be settled. If government gets tough, as is threatened, there would be no precedent supporting the stand which the Texas wo men nave taken, They would have to go through lengthy trials and, quite possibly, be prepared to follow through either with or against an appeal. ; It takes money to go. to court against the U. S. government. Miss Kellems, by virtue : of years of careful, intelligent industrial operations, had enough cash to make a fight for a principle ; what the bureau of internal revenue was forced to return to her may have come somewhere near; to balancing her bills for legal assist ance. The housewives may have that kind of -money; it is more HKeiy mat tney nave not. In this event the brave stand which they have made up to now will avail them nothing. They will have been forced to back down, losing not necessarily because they are wrong, but because they lack the means to follow the contest to a conclusion. In such situation the cost of obtaining justice . may De an eiiective oostacie to obtaining it. ' A Picture of Perfect Health British Socialists Display Laxity in Security Matters Bv I.vln C. Wilson (UiiIUkI Prona Stuff Corrauiunili-nt) Washington, July 17 (IB This Is the eighth- week since two British (tiplomHts disappeared Irom their foreign office jobs in another notable British breach of security. : :::.-. The men were Donald S, Mac Lean, 38, and Guy F. BurgeSs, 40. Between them they had knowl edge of codes, of North Atlantic treaty organization anti-commu- , nist plans, Japanese peace treaty 'objectives and hostelling what other Information which they might have obtained outside their own areas of authority. Mat-Lean knew a lot about al location of atomic information be tween Canada, Great Britain and the United States and about raw materials related to atomic fis sion. He Is not known to have had any scientific knowledge of the bomb or its manufacture. - . Hot Issue Disappearance of MacLean and Burgess on May 26 has become a hot political Issue-in Great Britain. Conservatives accuse the socialist British government of negligence. The assumption from the moment of their flight from . London, has been that the two men fled behind the lion curtain. Security experts here judge the British socialists to he wholly un realistic in their approach to com mttnlst espionage. British security officials themselves and their organization get good marks. But it is suggested that the British government, itself, checks the vi gor with which the British se curity organization might other wise proceed. .. Comparison Mario A similar situation existed here during the Koosevclt 'administra tion when the FBI was forbidden to aid congressional efforts to expose communist operations In the United States. President Tru man also took a dim view of con gressional Investigations of com munist infiltration into Govern ment until Alger Hiss was proven, inoirectiy, to nave been a Kremlin agent. Mr. Truman called the Repub lican congressional investigation of Hiss a political' "red herring" and stuck to it for some time. But under pressure of politics and persuasion of events such as the actual discovery and conviction of spies here who peddled atomic secrets to the soviet Union, the Truman administration has shift ed its positian considerably. .Suspensions Noted There has not been in Great Britain anything comparing to the recent conviction of 11 top American communists on charges of subversion. Nor any parallel to last week's announcement that two relatively high state depart ment officials had been suspend ed pending a security investiga tion. - The British have been and ap parently remain complacent al though two of their ton Harwell atomic project scientists last year were marked down as active com munist spies. Harwell's Dr. Klaus Fuchs, arrested In London on a tip from the FBI, was convicted of espionage. Dr. Bruno I'onic corvo fled lo Russia last October with his wife and three children. I uehs did some fancv spvinu in the United States. He was ac cepted for high level atomic fis sion work here when vouched for In 1013 by Great Britain's conservative socialist war govern nient. fontecorvo also worked on atomic projects here. ihese per.odic leaks through British security are building up io increasingly alarming proportions. Fires today destroy less tim ber in American forests tum ft,r. merly but destruction by Insects and di&eas u, on the increase. w& T j ; ; WASHINGTON COLUMN By Peter Edson NEA Wuhlnston Correspondent! illiiiiiiiimitiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiii Washington (NEA A proposal that the United States withdraw from further United Nations con sideration of the so-called Baruch plan for international control qf atomic bombs and atomic energy production recently ; has beon made by David wiientnai. After the Lilienthal plan was announced, it was refined for presentation to the United Na tions under the direction .of Ber nard M, Baruch, . ) An International atomic author ity was 'to be established. It was to have the right to enter any country, make land and air sur veys, manage mines, check ac counting, make' reports. Manu facture of atomic weapons was to be banned by all countries, but development of atomic energy for peaceful purposes would.be per mitted, under inspection. No country would have veto power over the Authority. Vio lators of Its decisions would receive-swift and certain punish ment. In exchange for these guar antees,' the U. S. would share its atomic secrets with tho world. These are the essentials of the plan which Mr. Lilienthal, in answer to a question by this re porter on a "Meet the Press" tele vision ontervlew, says the United States should now abandon. His reasons are simple and direct. First, Russia now has atomic bombs of its own. So there Is no big secret for ' the U. S. to share with the rest of the world. Second, Russia has shown in the six years since the end of World War II that it has no inten tion of allowing representatives of other 'countries to have free movement within Its borders. In ternational inspection1 is the key to effective atomic energy con trols, V The international control plan proposed by Mr. Baruch has been periodically reviewed by the U. S. atomic energy commission. Chair man Gordon Dean and Commis sioner Henry D. Smyth have ta ken special interest in the sub ject. AEC scientists believe there "are adequate checks for keeping the most accurate books on pro duction of of fissionable mate rials. These controls would also be effective, in hydrogen bomb pro duction, since the A-bomb triggers the H-bomb. , : V- Furthermore; a group of 26 coh gressmen, headed by Sen. Ralph Flanders of Vermont, last March urged President Truman to seek complete disarmament through the United Nations, and to keep pressing for this goal until It was achieved. "Complete disarma ment" naturally includes a ban on atomic weapons, under inter national controls. ' Actually, the United Nations has been moving in this direction ever since last October. That was when President Truman prd posed that the U.N. deal with both atomic energy control and limi tation of conventional armaments at the same time. Up to now, two commissions have been working on the two problems, separately. Both have admitted they were stalemated by Russian refusal to permit'lnspectlons or a census of armaments. A U.N. committee of 12 has held three meetings to explore the possibility of combining the work of these two commissions. The committee's members are repre sentatives of the security council, plus Canada. Frank C. Nash is the American representative. This committee is now consid ering an American plan which calls for two things. First, "ree illation, limitation and balanced reduction of all armaments and armed' forces, Including interna tional security and ponce rorces." Second, "The U.N. plan for in ternational' control of , atomic energy and the prohibition of atomic weapons should continue to serve as the basis lor any plan for the control of atomic energy unless and until a better and no less effective system can be devised." Trial of Damage Actions Started Portland, July 17 lUt Trial of three damage suits 1 totalling $355,000 which resulted from the "hot": pineapple riot at The Dal' les in 1949 opens today in U. S.
