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.

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.

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

Out On the Farm
By Ho S. 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
