One Year ..... Sis Months . Three Months , PURPOSE OP THE T.AW Ever since reading the news account of Wednesday niirht's commission meeting we have been wondering a bit over the Bignmcance 01 uie aiscussion which took place as to traffic law enforcement in Bend. The subject was introduced when one of the commissioners reported that motorist disregard ui irumc lines is creating a nazara on southeast Third street. Then, the news story went on, V H. A. Casiday, police chief, asked If a few arrests' might not remedy the situation on the south highway, replied that an even . worse situation prevails at downtown service station entrances and exits. r. f "We could make SO arrests an hour at Wall and Franklin if we were so minded", Casiday said. "People come in and out of these service stations from all directions''. The discussion ended .- at this point. , - - . , ' Even if the discussion did end, the need for action did not. The fact of law violations in one' part of the city does not excuse violations elsewhere in the city. Indeed,- the question as to whether a few arrests might not remedy the situation on the south highway seems pertinent as to Wall and Franklin, or any other place where violations are complicating traffic problems and increasing the difficulty of accident prevention. It is fair to assume that the police force cannot arrest all traffic violators, especially When most traffic laws have been permitted to go unenforced for years. But the knowledge that a sampling of law breakers was being undertaken would, we , are certain, lessen the number eligible tor arrest. The task of the police would thus be simplified. This, we are sure, should be gratifying, although unimportant when we con sider what is actually at issue, v That Is safety. Traffic movement with safety is the pur pose of the law in question. The purpose is not achieved if the law is not observed. And it is becoming increasingly ap parent that it will lack a great deal of one hundred per cent observance if it is not enforced. WASHINGTON COLUMN By Peter Eds on (NEA Washington CutrtttporuLnt) HELPING THE HIGHWAY HAULERS Log and lumber hauling has been made safer for general traffic and safer, too, for the highways which made'motor transport possible by the issuance of a carefully edited set . of rules, appearing in booklet form.' It is the work of the As sociated forest industries of Oregon and in its 21 printed pages are the key to the Jaws affecting the industry's use of roads and highways. : Manner of loading as well as load limits and load distribu tion are stressed. Meaning of the laws is clarified. The ex planation which the booklet provides will make compliance with the law easier than heretofore. We think that there will be more general compliance with the statutes than heretofore because of this. ? ? The association has done a fine bit of cooperation in pre paring its summary and illustration of the rules and is to be complimented for making the edition available not only to its own membership but to others as well. There should be many requests for copies. . , ' : . - : , Have you voted? The polls-j-at Kenwood school and the city hall will be open until 8 o'clock this evening.

Like Iran, Egypt is' unhappy over an agreement she signed with the British and has announc ed she intends to declare it null and void, But unlike Irani Egypt made her agreement with the British government not with a private oil company, albeit largely owned by the British government. The Anglo - Egyptian dispute deals with the sanctity of a treaty entered into by ; two sovereign governments.'-' - s- At stake Is the security of the Suez canal as a British common wealth lifeline, the future of the biggest allied military base in the middle-east, and the political fu ture of the Sudan a country more than four times the size of France. Slen Treaty Britain and Egypt signed the treaty in uinaon ug. o, airoo. It .was to remain in effect for at least 20 years, although it could be reopened for revision after 10 years. Its principal provisions are: 1. Britain shall station military forces on Egyptian territory in the vicinity of the Suez canal to insure its defense until both countries agree that the- Egyp tian army alone is capable of insuring "the liberty and entire security of navigation of the canal. 2. Britain and Egypt shall con tinue to share In the administra tion of the Sudan. In 1916,-Egypt took advantage of the clause permitting her to ask for revision of the treaty. She demanded the withdrawal of British forces from Egypt and the annexation of (he Sudan. "The presence of foreign forces on our soil In peacetime, even if stationed In distant area, Is still wounding to national dienity . . .," the Egyptian note said. Negotiations opened In London soon afterward and dragged on for months. The British refused to withdraw altogether from the Suez canal y-one on grounds that Egypt was not strong enough to defend the canal zone in these uncertain times. tin to Siindam'so As for the Sudan, they said It was up to the bundanese mom selves to deckle whether the country should continue under joint Anglo-Egyptian control. should become pan. of hgypi or No agreement could be reach ed) and London and -Cairo an nounced a breakdown in the talks In January -1947. There have been spasmodic attempts since to find a basis for a new agreement, but all failed. Egypt took things Into Its own hands last November. Premier Mustafa Nahas Pasha, who had signed the treaty 14 years earlier, demanded In the Egyptian parlia ment that Britain got out of both the canal zone and the Sudan im mediately. He threatened to cancel Imme diately and unilaterally the 193B treaty. Foreign minister Mohammed Salah Ed-dln followed this up only two weeks ago, by telling the Egyptian parliament that Egypt will abrogate the treaty before the end of the year. Britain will not take Egypt's denunciation ot the treaty with out a fight. Its first recourse al most certainly will be to the world court and possibly the United Nations security council Meantime, British troops In the canal zone proDaoiy will sit tight. And Egypt Is believed to have neither the strength nor the will to challenge them to a' battle. .. , , V PETITION FILED A petition was filed In probate court here yesterday by Mrs. Ruth Barnes for letters of ad ministration of the estate of the late Edgar R.

Washington (NEA) Many West Pointers In Washington are hoping the White House won't weaken over the cribbing scandal at the Military' Academy. It is nateworthy that every nigh offi cial in the Pentagon who re viewed the case approved expell ing the cheaters. 11 r resworn Truman should let the cribbers off with some light sentence like a year's suspension, the old grads say it would wreck the nonor system. They maintain that It's neces sary to have the code of conduct in West Point one step or two above the standards at other in stitutions of learning. If it were not for this difference, mere would be no point in having the service schools to train profes sional officers. The job might just, as well be turned over to KUTfJ. Keserve Officer lTaining schools, in state and private col leges and universities. And that would mean the end of establish ed military tradition. Sen. Homer Ferguson of Mich igan got a jolt when he read that Duncan McDonald, Flint, Mich., football star, had been given a visit to West Point, all expenses paid. As a result ot the visit, Mc Donald was tutored and passed entrance examinations to the mili tary academy. Senator Ferguson knew that his own alma mater, University 01 Michigan, was also alter Mc Donald. But some time previous ly, at. West Point Coach Blafk's request, Senator Ferguson had made McDonald a second alter nate, all his original appoint ments to West Point having been used up. Fearing the wrath of Univer sity of Michigan athletic officials for giving a potential grid star to the Academy, Senator Ferguson called the office of Secretary of the Army Frank Pace to find what had happened. Pace re vealed that under a special law, he had authority to give appoint ments to qualified alternates of congressmen. And that's how Mc Donald got in. congress, already two months behind on passage of this year's money 1)1118, may require another month or more to finish the job. On ten appropriation bills which have passed the house, the Presi dent's request for $76.7 billion authorizations were cut to $70.7 billion. While this looks like a $6 billion saving, the figure is meaningless. It does not Include $6.5 billion authorizations for military con struction. It does not Include the $8.5 billion foreign military as sistance program. It includes nothing for carrying on the war In Korea, if that becomes neces sary. It Includes nothing for an expanded air force, which may cost $10 billion this year as a starter, - e e U.. S. budget total for current fiscal year may go over the $71,6 billion figure President Truman sent to congress last January. There are two main reasons. One Is new items of expenditure, like Rep. Carl Vinson's proposal to in crease air force from presently authorized 95 wings to 163. The other is that congressional rec ord on budget cutting now looks pretty sad. As a matter of record, Presi dent Truman's budget bureau has now trimmed January estimates by over $3 billion, which is more than congress has been able to economize to date. In statement before Senate fi nance committee at end of June, Assistant Budget Director Elmer B. Staats revealed that Truman administration estimates for spending in fiscal 1951 totaled only $68.4 billion. Most of the $3.2 billion cuts vvere made In the rate of defense spending. It isn't moving as fast as anticipated. Result , is that actual outlay of cash for defense is now estimated at $48 billion this year, instead of over $51 billion. Do You Know The Answer? As a public service, The Bul letin is publishing a series of sample questions from the 19F1- 52 Oregon driver's manual, which can be obtained from sheriffs, chiefs of police, drivers' license examiners or offices of the sec retary of state. The questions are similar to those on the drivers license examination. Question: What must drivers do when they see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching? -jaoijjo oooa v A"q os op oj pojapjo mun ao passed sbi aiatqsA Xouogjauia am jliun jbo jnoA oaoui ou op 'Suid lIOlS J31JV 'dO)S PUB 'U0P3SJ31UI A'ue jo ,1B3D 'Xbmu.3ij jo laajis am 10 a3pa pueq-)ij3j euiaai xa aqi p.ibmoj Bdhobju Aejcs SI SB JBJ SB 3AIJCI :J3MSUV Bend's Yesterdays (From The Bulletin Flies) TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Aug. 21, 1926 (It Was Saturday) Mr. and Mrs. Claude Vandevert. who live in the up-river country, are parents of a son, born this morning. . u. t;. walker, struck yesterday by a small pine felled by a large, tree, hears the mill whistle this morning at Lumbermen's hospit al and leaves for work, declaring nimseit a wen man.

Dewey of New York says that Russia may launch a peace offensive In the near fu ture "now that they've found they can't scare us with armed might." Dewey, who leaves today for a six-day tour of Alaskan military installations, told a news confer ence yesterday that the soviet un ion in time might even ask the world to disarm. The New York governor arrived in Olympia yesterday and spent the night as the guest of Wash ington's Gov. Arthur Langlie. . The United States, he said, fac 6s its most important decision in the next three or four months "on the help we are going to give free China." "People now are beginning to realize this." . On the Korean war, Dewey said he viewed it as an exciting ex ample of moral leadership by free nations against an aggressor. This is the first time in the history of the world that this has hap pened," he said. . He has .been on a seven-week tour of the Pacific and far east. He emphasized, however, that it was "not a political trip." His schedule calls for him to leave Anchorage, Alaska, for his return to New York Aug. 28.
