SITUATION DETERIORATING So the United States of America has a new attorney gen eral, chosen by the president as was his predecessor. The new man, J. P. McGranery, will investigate corruption in govern ment, a jod wnicn J. .Howard Mclirath could not do because, in the digging, he would inevitably have revealed unwhole some conditions which had developed in his own department uiuer nis own regime, lvicuratn couia narcuy investigate himself. As long as he was .in office he would allow no one else to put on an investigation which might reflect discredit on mm. . : ; For this, it is not too difficult to iruess. he firprl Npwhnlrl Morris, who had been appointed, supposedly, to dig up every thing. Morris had actually dug up little; chiefly he was threatening to. He was the president's appointee, yet Mc . Grath removed him. Morris, strangely enough, was begin- ning to take his job seriously, something that there was no indication he was expected to do. Obviously a man with such odd ideas of duty had to be removed, but, as obviously, President Truman couldn't come right oufrand do it. McGrath did it, and, if we may guess again, the task was not distasteful to him. In dismissing Morris, however, he had so far transgressed the bounds of decency that he must, for' appearance sake, resion. It is sic. nificant, we think, that President Truman, since McGrath's resignation, has-given no hint that Morris return to his job. In all of this there is more potent suggestion of corruption reaching into even the higher levels of government than in the most violent accusations that have been heard in recent months. And there is evidence of confusion, a continuing of the confusion which became manifest when PrPsinVnt. t. -. man decided .the other day that he did not care to run for another. term. Since his declaration there has been a succes- : sion or occurrences that definitely cannot be overlooked in . any appraisal of the Washington scene. ' Announcement of the resignation of Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson was one. Then came the McGrath irritation St being asked to disclose the source of his income outside his salary as attorney general. Newbold Morris was putting the question to hundreds and McGrath was included. And then came the firing of Morris apd on the heels of that, the quitting of McGrath. To use a military euphemism, the sit- . uation is deteriorating rapidly; in plain English things are going to pieces in Washington in these days of the Fair Deal. Whether the man at the top will still be able to hold . them together is doubtful. Washington Column By PETER EDSON (NEA WathitiQlon Corre$poruUnt) LLOYD DOUTHIT. For many years Lloyd Douthit ran his little store on Wall street featuring fine fishing and hunting equipment. In his : off hours, which came more often as he advanced in age, he ioved to headquarter on the Metolius. His recreation, as his livelihood, was intimately connected with hunting and fishing. In each he was expert. His example was a factor in develop ing the popularity of the eastern Cascade slope as a recreation . area. He was a sportsman in the best sense of the word. He . inculcated the love of clean sport in others.1! It hasn't been long since Lloyd Douthit retired. After that we saw him only now and then. Tuosdav (-.hero ; of his tragic death, doubly tragic because it came about in the handling of a firearm with which ho had become tnorougniy laminar over the years. Perhaps too familiar, as happens sometimes. ; We are among many who will miss him. He was a fine friend and a good citizen. , Against dangerous speeding a driver may wurh himself, by his speed. A detector in the pavement helps bv observing de parture from a safe rate of progress. In Virginia such a , signal system is actually in use. Installed on a curve which is considered dangerous when the speed rate is greater than 26 miles an hour, a red light glows on the curve to b r i n g traffic to a halt. If an oncoming vehicle slows to less than 25 miles a sufficient distance away, the light changes to green. A great idea. We know of one or two curves on this side of the continent that would lend themselves readily to its application. WASHINGTON The inside story of how the Wage Stabilization Board arrived at its recommenda tions in the now-celebrated steel wage ease will provide its main de fense in the coming WSB investi gation Just voted by Congress. The full record of the three- month steel wage case hearing and Wage Board deliberations far into the night fills many a volume of testimony. But the highlights of these proceedings on the principal issues show how the job was tackl ed and why a majority of the 12 board members came to the deci sions reached in their final recom mendations. In the first place, It is contended mat tne steel companies repre sentatives and the CIO stcelwork- ers union had done no real bar gaining up to the time the case was given to WSB on Jan. 7. In passing the case to the board many issues were included which were not just wage questions, WbB sot up a special panel to hear all these points argued on their merits. Harry Shulman of Yale was. chairman. Industry members were John Curry Bane. Jr., of Pittsburgh and Adm. Earl Mills of New York. Union mem bers were Eli Oliver of the rail way brotherhoods and Arnold Campo of the steelworkers. I he problem of WSB Chairman Nathan P. Felnsinger and the four public members in the present steel wage case was to reach fair and equitable recommendations by majority vote, since the actual bar gaining had been transferred to the board by labor and manage ment. ' ' ' , . : This was Illustrated when the union shop issue came up for con sideration. The first three motions all failed. Lnlior union representa tives first moved that union shons bo provided for. Public and indus try members voted against it. Industry members then moved that the union shop be referred back to the unions and the com panies. Public and labor voted No. Public members then moved that the issue be referred 6ack to the unions and the companies, with the proviso that if no agreement could be reached by direct bar gaining, the issue would come back to the board. Labor and industry members voted against that. Public members then moved that Use Bulletin Want Ads for Best Results!

This was to take into consideration the fact that there are different union shop formulas now in effect at such companies as General Motors, LTUciDie steej ana some railroads. The steel principals would have to worn out a tormula or their own. Public and labor members voted for that, and It carried. On the wage issue, a great deal of time was devoted to a search for what each side would agree to that a majority, would accept. La- Dor proposed a straight 18VS cents an hour, across-the-board increase. Public' and industry members vot ed NO. inuusiry memDers tnen voter! a nine-cent Increase, the nine cents to include all fringe increases. Public and labor voted No. The final recommendation which public and labor members voted lor was a 12-cent increase nmv two and one-half cents more July i, anomer two ana one-half cents Jan. 1, 1953, and no reopening of me contract ior runner wage ad justments till July 1, 1953 18 months away. In the opinion of public mem bers of WSB, this recommendation was within the area of its discre tion under its rules. On cost of living increases alone, they claim that a 16-cents-an-hour increase would have been justified to cover price advances since Oct. 15, 1950. This was the Index used in reach ing agreement on the last steel wage contract, which expired Dec. 31, 1951. Industry members, however. claim that the cost of living in crease should be onlv nine cpnto going back to the Index of Jan. 15, 1951 1 I Bend's Yesterdays (From The Bulletin Flies) FORTY YEARS AGO (Wednesday, April 4, 1912) There is no ordinance in Bend prohibiting the erection of tents, II. -E.
