A MATTER OF READER INTE&EST
We're'not perfect and so it happens that, once in a while, an
error creeps into the news. When it does we are quite natur
ally chagrined. Oddly enough the adverse criticism which im
mediately comes our way does more to restore our equanim
ity than anything else. It assures us that The Bulletin is not
only read but rather closely read. 1
This, of course, is as to the news' of the day but this week
we discovered that it can also be true in regard to the news of
the fairly distant past. We know that this is so because we
have just been called to task for something that came to light
in the news of 20 years ago.' '
. - The building housing the Central Oregon Motor Co. Is de
stroyed by a fire which started last night lii the furnace room, j
That was published Monday on this" pagg in "Bend's Yes
terdays" a feature in which the news of years ago is reprinted.
The fire had first been chronicled on September 10, 1931. It
may be that J. N. Van Huffel who was the Central Oregon
Motor Co, then and is now retired, didn't care for the original
story. Whether or not, he 'didn't care for it 20 years after, and
called a staff member to say so. : ' r
It seems, said the former automobile dealer, that the fire
didn't start in the furnace room at all, but on the second floor
where a car belonging to Jeff Murray developed a short cir
cuit that sparked the whole thing. Aside from that, Van con
ceded, it wasn't a bad story but he thought the people should
not be left in darkness as to. the real cause of the fire in the
Central Oregon Motor Co. building, j '.
We don't think so, either, . !;,
Come to think of it, there was another instance not so long,
ago when 'a correction was requested (and made) after an
error wasbrought to light in the re-printed news of 45 years
ago. It hadn't been detected in' 1906. Perhaps people read
their newspapers more intensively now than then.
: We like to think this, anyway.
From Here to Eternity?
Do You Know
The Answer?
As a public service. The Bul
letin Is publishing a series of
sample questions from the 19P1
52 Oregon driver's manual, which
can be obtained from sheriffs,
chiefs of police, drivers' license
examiners or offices "1 the sec
retary of state. The questions are
similar to those on the drivers
license examination.
Question: What does the law
say about following fire trucks
and about parking new fires?

; ... . CONFLICTING STANDARDS
Football season is on, the decimated West Pointers are
practicing along with all the rest of the college (and high
school) squads, some of the purged athletes have gone pro
fcssional and some have doubtless signed somewhere else as
' undergraduates. The honor system at the academy, after hav
ing taken something of a beating in recent years, carries, on.
Still there, continues wonderment that the standards there
can be held so high when those accepted at the highest level'
of U. S. government remain so low,' Someone put this question
into a neat bit of verse which was read recently in the lower
house of congress by California's Representative Robert L.
Jackson. It was a paraphrase on those familiar lines in " : v
"Alice in Wonderland", which begin,
"You are old, Father William," the young man said .
"And your hair has become very white i ; v .:...;.
And yet you incessantly stand on your head 1 '
Do you think, at your age, It is right?" -
The Jackson version, somewhat less smooth in meter but
definitely to the point, goes like this : ...... ; :
' . if : ". ' ' "V '
"You are old, Father Big," the West Polntor said,
"There are crooks in the tnir fcf your kite; . : ' :
But when we peer over a shoulder or two, ' , s ,.
We are 'sacked'; do you think that is right?"
"In my youth," the politico answered the boy, ' -:
"The truth was a blade, sharp and clean. "
But that was before I entered the door "
Of a Midwestern city, machine." ' o
"You're the boss," said the boy, "you could fill us with Joy
If discharge from the Point you would foil.
We're guilty a hit, but less, I submit,
That Vaughan and Dawson and Boyle." 1 .
"In my youth,'1 said the Man, with aplomb and clurt,
"I kept. all my ethics quite supple.
Now I don't even blink when a friend gets a mink,
Much less If she gets her a couple." (
"You are smart," said the youth, "but your morals are slack,
And your conscience reduces like suet. ,
Through thick and through thin, you smile upon sin, 1
Pray, how do you manage to do It?"
"A scoundrel, my boy," said the great man with Joy.
"Is successful until ho Is caught. ' .
But then he's a fool, an untrustworthy tool,
And a deficit out on the yacht,"
"You are old," said the boy, "one would hardly suppose,
That your skill was as steady as ever.
Yet you buffet the gale, keeping pals out of Jail,- ' .
' What makes you so awfully clever?"
"1 have answered three questions and that Is enough,"
Said the boss with an unpleasant laugh;
"Go learn how to parrot the words of the wise!
You may land on the Joint Chiefs of Staff ."
As far as we know this is not only the latest but the last
word on the subject. .,:..'

Washington (NEA) Increase

more may not necessarily mean
an increase In size of the navy,
though it would mean a bigger;
army for expanded air base de
fenses.'. :. . . '
Reason that the U. S. navy may
not have' to. expand Is that the
communist countries h a v e n't
much navy to fight. .Red powers
have far less naval forces than
Japan, Germany and Italy had
at outbreak of World War II. Red
powers have much less merchant
marine to sink. :
-Navy" '.Secretary Dan Kimball
has lust revealed that Russia may
have over 1! times as many sub
marines as tuner naa wnen tie
started World War II. The, ratio
Is 20 to an estimated 350..'-. 1"-':'
Chief role of the U. S. and Brit
ish navies In another war would
be to destroy this red sub pack.
Chief role , of allied subs will be
k Hers, to hunt and destroy
Russian subs. In World War' II,
allied forces destroyed 1100 en
emy submarines. Secretary Kim
ball denies that Russian suns are
better than American. For one
thing red subs can t refuel at sea
or operate far from bases.
When new -Secretary of the
Navy Dan A. Kimball was looking
around for some, one to succeed
him as under-secretary, he went
to pcfense Secretary George
Marshall for advice. Did he have
any suggestions about what type
of man should-be picked for the
job? .
Genera Maivshall said he did.
Get some One, he told Secretary
Kimball, that you can work with.
General Marshall recalled that
When he himself had become
army chief of staff, before World
War 11, the then-secretary 01 war
Harry Woodring wasn't on speak
ing terms with his assistant sec
retary, Louis Johnson. It was a
pretty frustrating time. -
Secretary Kimball chose Fran
cis Whitehall-, Florida lawyer and
former: office of price stabiliza

The two men had known
each other for a long time. Be

however, Kimball took Whitchair

"Can you two' men work to

said they could. "That," said the
General, "is all I want to know."
Navy may go slow on ordering
any more "super" aircraft car
riers right away. Present idea
Is to complete the James G. For
restal now being built at Newport
News and shake It down before
starting any more. Actually, the
Forrestal won't be a super car
rier. It will just be a bigger car
rier than' any now afloat.
Every new carrier gets better
than its predecessors. Improve
ments designed for the Forrestal
are so radical that they win neeq
thorough testing before being in;
oorporated in later designs, it win
