USING NATURE'S DYE Some of the manual training .students of the high' school have been displaying the products of their woodworking skill in down town windows this week. Looking at articles of furniture on display, we are struck not only by the excel lence of the work but by what we took at first to be a very clever job of dyeing. The wood, beautifully finished, shows bluish tints in places; sometimes the color predominates. For a moment we wondered how it had'been done. And then we' realized that it was perfectly natural. The young craftsmen had had nothing to do with it except that they had been intelligent enough to make use of the tint that was already present in the board. The coloring was, of course, the fungus manifestation that every,lumberman is familiar with. One of the blue stain fungi incidentally, is penicillin. The name, we are sure, needs no introduction as that of the parent of one of the most beneficial substances that has come into use in the practice of medicine in recent years, and one which has pointed the way to the use of other fungus deriva tives. The blue color may develop in down timber or even in out door stacked lumber under conditions of protracted damp and lack of sunshine. The fungus growth spreads through the intercellular spaces of the wood producing the stained appear ance which we had noted in the student's furniture. The wood s natural physical properties are not impaired, however, according to the experts. Still we can remember when "blue" lumber was consid : ered of greatly diminished value. It brought a low price, be ing considered suitable for structural use only. Maybe it will be more highly esteemed now, just as knot-filled lumber, once rejected by the builder, is now a fancy product commanding a iancy price. It may even be that, one of those days, there will not be enough of this fungus-dyed wood to meet the de mand and that artificial tinting will be resorted to in supple menting the natural supply. As to these things, we do not know. We feel sure, however, that there will be no "blue" lumber thrown away. , AS THE PEOPLE WANTED IT Oregon as a whole could hardly have been more definite on the larger political issues presented to the voters last week. The Republicans, by a whopping majority, preferred Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and said so and some of the Democrats wrote in his name on their blue ballots. There was no actual contest in the presidential preference vote in their own party. And it wasn't only in Deschutes county that the voters refused to approve delegates to the national convention who would not stay.hitchad. In the state at large as well as here it was only delegates who were committed to follow the people's instructions who were elected. It is doubtless the fact that this same voter feeling was projected into the national committeeman contest and that Lowell Paget, seeking this position, lost it, in part at least, because of his attempt to attend the national convention as an unpledged delegate. The other reason, of course, was that the people did want Jess Gard, who made no bones about his liking for Ike. ,' ' That is definitely the way the people of Oregon want it. If the convention should decree otherwise, the choice will un doubtedly 'be accepted by the party in this state as well as elsewhere. But the voters' first choice is Dwight D. Eisen hower. ' . There Just Isn't Room for Both of Them Washington Column By PETER EDBON (NEA Washington Correspondent) LAVA BEARS AT THE TOP It is the nature of anti-climnx that a district meet should be held in the week following that in which the competitors engaged in a state meet but it is in just that situation that the track and field athletes of the "Big Six" find themselves today. It is an even sharper anti-climax, we should think, for the boys of the Bend high school for they not only com peted in the state inter-scholastic meet last week but won it as well. , For their achievement they have our proud congratula tions. A state meet is really something to take. It is rarely that one is won by a majority ol points: there are too many schools in the running. That is another way of saying that the competition is extremely tough. Paradoxically, a meet in which there is less urgent competition may be harder to win if there are fewer entrant schools to share in the distribution of points. What it means is that a school may need more points to win. That is the situation today. If we know our Lava Bears, however, they will still be looking good at the conclusion of this second meet in five days. Our best wishes to them. WASHINGTON. (NEA) Gen- eral Eisenhower's schedule Im mediately after liis return from Europe has now been agreed up on. He is expected in Washington, Sunday, June 1. He will dean up his business with the Pentagon, the President and Congress by June 3. On June 3 he will go to Abi lene, Kan., and the next day will make his first speech at cornerstone-laying ceremonies for the Eisenhower Foundation building. This is hooked as a non-political speech, but it will be fully carried by radio and television networks. Eisenhower will, hold his first political press conference in the Elks club of Abilene at 9 a. m., Thursday, June 5. General Eisenhower will be in New York for the week of June 7 to l'l. He will make his head quarters at the Columbia Univer sity president's residence. He will hold one press conference and will otherwise make himself, available to convention delegates and his New York political man agers. He is not scheduled to make any speeches while in New York. After this he will go to Denver and set up his headquarters for the summer. Where he speaks Socialists Plan to Put Up 1952 Presidential Candidate By I.VI.K C. WILSON WASHINGTON. May 111 UIV-The Socialist Party boldly has announc ed that it -will put up a presidential candidate again tiiis year. The national convention takes place in Cleveland May 3U-;il. The Socialist Call devoted less than a column to its convention announcement and the mention of a couple of likely presidential nom inees. Inside the paper has a lull page discussion oi what the So cialist parly is up against, which is plenty. And what it should do, which is a matter of dispute. The Socialist party is up against the fact that most of its voter.? have deserted it. The desertion he pan in liHG. Socialist presidential candidate Eugene V. Dehs polled nearly 1 ,0()lUK)(l of about J5.OO0.tMJ0 votes cast in lllro. Socialist Candidate Norman Thomas got nearly WHl.OilO votes in J:VJ of 39.K16.UtMI cast. Economic depression is body building lood for Socialism. Kranklin l. Hoose velt's New Deal-Democratic coali tion sapped the Socialist parly's strength. The Socialist vole fell to little more than K0.IHI0 in li'll: was a mere i:S9.tXX in WIS. Hundreds of thousands of Socialist votes were not being cast or they had been absorbed into the coalition created by KDIt and led in 1'IIS by Presi dent Truman. Socialists are disputing what to do alxiut that. The full pngp dis cussion in the Socialist Call was an argument for getting out of the presidential candidate business al together. The nomination of a So cialist ticket is as unrealistic as little children playing house. .Socialists are advised, therefore, to adopt the bare knuckled real ism of British Socialism which set out just more than 51) years ago to kidnap a political parly and, thcrcallei', to take over gov ernment in good lime. British So cialism did just that. The party they took over was the Independ ent Labor Party, although that one 'was not their first choice. The Call article counselled So-1 ! cialisls to scatter themselves among left wing organizations. This infiltration or penetration was i to lead finally to independent So icialist political action. That inde '; pendent action, apparently, would come finally with Socialist domina jlion of an established party or by the shaping ot existing left wing : groups into national political party I. structure. i Specifically lagged for penetra tion were: Liberal Party iNow York I. Americans for Democratic Action. (TO Political Action Com mittee, AKL Labor's League tor Political Kducalion. The skimp in the total Socialist ll suggests that many thousands of Sociali.-.t voters already have moved in those directions. 1TSII l:l.s DOWN nVKHSUL'HG.

Fast Action Seen On Flood Measure WASHINGTON, Mav 21 HI") Hen. John L. McClellan t D-Ark.) said Wednesday he expects the Senate to give "immediate atten tion" to a $55,000,0110 flood con trol bill. The bill, passed by the House T ti e s d a y, provides emergency funds to repair dams, levees and other flood control works dam aged .in the recent Missouri and Mississippi River floods. The monev is in addition to the $25,000,000 approved last month for flood relief and rehabilitation in the stricken area. While the House rushed through appropriation to repair past flood damage, delegations fioni four Missouri Valley states asked Congress to grant funds to prevent future floods on the riv er. They appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee to urge restoration of House cuts in funds asked by the administra tion for flood control projects for the next fiscal year. Homemakers choose C and H Cane Sugar 4 to I over any other Brand in Pacific Coast homes! and what he says up to the time of the Chicago convention July 7 will then be decided. . ' Still to be worked out Is just what stand Candidate Eisenhow er will take on the many contro versial domestic issues in this campaign. The Abilene press conference could of course be turned into an endless free-for-all. General Eis enhower may choose to issue a statement outlining his platform. Or he may choose to say that he will make statements on some is sues at later dates, Paul Hoffman's own opinion Is that General Eisenhower will have to clarify his position on the key issues like labor and farm policy. The latter is considered particularly important in the mid west, where it is claimed Sen. Robert Taf t has his greatest strength; General Eisenhower's position on foreign policy towards Europe has of course been stated in de tail. Mr. Hoffman feels he should make some clarifying statement on the Far East situation, In studying the past speeches and statements of General Eisen hower, Mr. Hoffman talking now like a campaign manager says he found the general "takes a new approach to all problems. Ike never quibbles over the past. He is always looking ahead." Applying this principle to ques tions like the Far East, Mr. Hoff man thinks his candidate will steer clear of comment on things like the Mai-Arthur issue. Instead, he is expected to offer his ideas on what can be done now to solve the present , problem instead of merely trying to make an issue of controversy out of it. Similarly, Mr. Hoffman does not expect General Eisenhower to touch the subject of McCarthy ism as a specific issue. Mr. Hoff man believes the general will make clear where he stands on the matter of freedom of speech. One of the notes General Eisen hower has struck most often Is the importance of maintaining freedom, says Mr. Huffman. Mr. Hoffman says he sees no possibility of a deadlock at Chi cago. He thinks Senator Taft will show his greatest strength on the lust ballot and lose thereafter. No thought has been given to! a vice presidential candidate to run with Ike, says Mr. Hoffman.! He opposes the idea that this vice j presidential candidate should he i an ultra-conservative to provide : a "balanced ticket." Hoffman! wants a running mate with views like Ike's. i Bend's Yesterdays (From The Bulletin Files) Thirty-Five Years Ago (Monday, May 21, 1917) Miss Marie Fox has returned from Corvallis, where she was a student at O.A.C. this past year.

Grant May 21 Gardening is one of those diseases that have to get worse before they can get better, if you know what I mean. , Each year, the garden is a more ambitious project than it was the year before. The Chief plows and smooths and plants with such grim determination that you'd think we were starving to death. Ho decided he couldn't wait an other minute, and planted the corn, peas, carrots, spinach and lettuce this past weekend. Last night he finished up the seven rows of po tatoes. . The green onions (with tops) and the onion sets (already sprout ed) were planted a couple of weeks ago. At regular intervals, the Chief sprinkles magot bait along the rows. Presumably the mngots eat the bait instead of the onions, and die happy. I guess gardening is just like golfing or playing bridge. Pretty soon. U gets to be a career. There's no use being bitter, be cause the world is full of all kinds of individuals normal ones and those who like catsup. Thank goodness there are a few of us who dress up in levi's and putter around in a garden just for LITTLE CHIEF PONT I AC SAYS- Can Your Car Pass This.,; Only perfect brakes are good enough for this or any other season.
