SAVE IT Now that the state is distributing the veterans' bonus money it is natural enough for the sharpers, the easy money boys and the harpies to come forward with devices to take it away. To make their operations easier a Portlander even came up with a list of the recipients of the bonus. He, we gather, has been dissuaded from going further in the enterprise of selling' this mailing list but those who would have bought it undoubtedly have their own schemes and there has been ad vertising that is directed toward the veterans and calculated to separate them from their new money. On the other hand there have been warnings against let ting this special income slip away and we would add our voice to these and urge care and then more care in the use of this windfall. There are, of course, special cases where the bonus money can be used to relieve hardship. There doubtless are veterans with obligations to meet who are finding the bonus almost like an answer to prayer. In many cases the bonus money will smooth financial paths. In all such the checks will be cashed and the proceeds laid out in real benefits. The plea for care, for restraint, for delay, for seeking and taking sound advice is to the veterans who are not in these groups. Obviously, the standard investment for these bonus funds is government savings bonds. Those who put their bonus money into these bonds will have it in the safest place they can find. Then there are savings accounts in the banks where deposits a,re virtually as safe as they would be in savings bonds. Their interest rates are slightly lower but savings accounts have conveniences not found in savings bonds. There's many a veteran who has been doing quite well without the bonus. He will continue to do well and better if he saves his bonus against some future storm. JUNIOR'S REACTION Commenting here on Thursday on the indefinite post ponement of the House Hells Canyon bill we said that "the next matter of interest will be Wayne Morse's reaction to the postponement." It was not long in coining for yesterday it was in the news that he had said that he had been assured thtvt senate hearings will be held "as soon as feasible." Junior had written a letter to Representative Engle, chairman of the House sub-committee that postponed the bill, to report the fact. We spoke on" Thursday, also, of Junior's being borrowed by the Bureau of Reclamation to read a speech on Hells Can yon for it. "It" (the speech), we said, "will probably be mail ed generously." Just how generously the mailing will be has yet to be known but our guess that the speech was for out side use and would be mailed is confirmed. "The letter to Engle," the news story said, "accompanied copies of the sena tor's (Junior's) two recent speeches on the senate floor ar dently supporting the construction of the dam." ROY FOX .There is universal i-egret,-we feel jsure,) over Roy Fox's resignation as chief of the Bend fire department. He has been a member of the department since about as far back as most of us can remember. Because of his training and under standing he naturally was tops in the examination for chief after the death of Tom Carlon. In the decade that followed his appointment he has brought the deoartment to a new neak of efficiency and service. The department will not seem the same organization without him. Regret over Roy Fox's resignation is the deeper because of the knowledge it was made for reasons of health. His friends and they are about all of us have known of the con ditions under which he kept on the job and that have finally led to the action announced yesterday. Now they wish for him a speedy recovery. Another Triumph of Communist Efficiency Renewed Effort To Settle Steel Others Say Washington Column Bv PETER EDSON (NEA Woaftinfifon Correspondent) WASHINGTON The Indonesians , Washington recently moved into n big, new em bassy here. It's the old Walsh man sion on Massachusetts avenue, just above DuPont Circle. In its rundown condition, it serv ed as n Red Cross headquarters annex during the war. Hut now that the Indonesians have taken it over, it has been refurnished and made to look better than new. Just afler Ambassador Ali Siis tromidjojo and his staff got settled in their new headquarters, the am bassador got a telephone call from n man who identified himself as a Texas oil man. I like trie looks of your new house," said the oil man. "I don't know what price you bought it at, but I'll give you $100,000 more than what you paid if you'll sell and move out." The ambassador said he wasn't in the real estate business. Then as an afterthought he asked his caller how many oil wells he owned. The man said. "Sixteen." "Well." said the ambassador. "I'll give you $100,000 more for your oil wells than what you paid for them. With that the oil man hung up and the Indonesians never did learn who he was. Wilh only weeks to go before the Republican National Convenlion opens in Chicago, Congress is far ther behind in its work than il has been at any comparable time in earlier sessions. As of June 1. only 113 bills have been enacted into law and only one of them ratification of the Japan ese peace treaty was of major im portance. Of the appropriation bills. the House had completed nclion on all 10. but the Senate had com pleted action on only two. both of which had to bo sent to conference to iron out differonces. to testify on these treaties. German technical skills will be employed, says Mr. McCloy, to pro duce radar equipment and aircrafl components which other European countries cannot make. The great risk in this plan is thai German skills in aircraft and guid ed missiles will not be utilized to the fullest at a lime when the Western powers are woefully weak on air power. The government of India will spend $2 for every $1 in the V. S. $54 million Indian aid program ap proved by Congress last fall. This is the plan worked out by Ameri can Ambassador Chester Bowles, now back in Washington for con sultations wilh Congress and the Slate department. Fifty-five areas, covering some 11 million people in 1G.500 villages. have been selected to receive this aid. Thirty centers are being op- ened to train the fiSOO native Indians who will direct the work. In addi tion, 'M0 Indian administrators will lie trained in the U. S. A pilot operation al Et.-iw.-ih, In- dia. under the now famed Horace Holmes, has already enabled some 7!),000 people in Ur villages lo in crease their food production -It! per cent. Ambassador Howies has estimat ed the II. S. cost at SUM million a year for the next four years for a billion-dollar total. About half of this sum would go for technical services and equipment, the other half for purchase of wheat and cot ton. Congress has so far been ex tremely cold to the Howies pro posals. He is trying to sell it as the best way to avoid a repelilion of the anti-Communist failure in China. NEW YORK, June 21 (IB Union and industry officials made another unsuccessful attempt Friday to re open negotiations aimed at settling the 20-day steel strike, it was learned Saturday. Wilh the nation's defense and civilian production slowly grinding to a halt, representatives of Philip Murray's 650,000 CIO steelworkers and top leaders in the industry met here secretly in an effort to get the negotiations going again. But after several talks during the day, the situation was "right back where it started" and the meetings ended abruptly Friday night, a reliable union source said. Union Shop Big Issue Industry officials said after the break up of White House sponsored negotiations earlier this month that only the union shop issue was noia ing up a settlement. However, the union contended then that the wage pattern still was not satisfactory. Neither union nor industry leau ers would indicate over what issue the talks collapsed. Murray, president of the CIO, was in New York and participated in the aliortive talks. He refused to comment and was reported to have returned to Pittsburgh. The steel union leader will deliver an "important" speech to a mass meeting in Gary, lnd., on Sunday, and union sources said he would discuss the meetings then. May I'so Law Industry leaders who were here included Adm. Hen Morell, lioard chairman of Jones & Lnughlin Steel Corp.; Jleninmin Fairless, President ot U. S. Sleel; Charles While, head of Republic Sleel, and Joseph I.arkin, representing Beth lehem hteel. The latest failure of union and industry to get collective bargain ing machinery in operation gave weight to reports President Tru man soon would use the Taft -Hartley law to halt the crippling strike. CAN MORSE BE SILENT? (Salem Capitol Journal) Senator Wayne B. Morse of Ore gon, appearing on NBC-TVs "Meet the Press'' Sunday pro gram, said that he will give the republican party the "silent" treatment if its presidential candi date doesn't meet with his ap proval. He indicated that he will "take a walk" from the party or at least will remain silent in the campaign if Taft is nominated. Morse, an original supporter of Eisenhower, called the general "a sane conservative republican with an open mind." "It's very doubtful that wilh in tellectual honesty I could possibly make a speech in behalf of Robert Taft," said Morse, "but I won't go out and campaign for him." Asked if he would vote for Taft, Morse said: "That all depends on who the Democratic candidate will be." "You mean you may leave the party?" "As an individual citizen, when I walk into that ballot booth I'm going to vote on the basis of the man that I think is best for my country, as will millions of other people." It is much to be doubted if Morse can remain silent in the campaign or on anything else. Many will consider his promise to shut-up the only valid reason for voting for Taft. He holds the record of the senate for spouting words like a geyser docs steam and hot water, on every subject under the sun, only perhaps ex ceeded in verbiage by the late Huey Long during his filibusters. The Congressional Record has printed more pages, especially in its annex, of Morse's speeches, both in and out of congress than that: of any other congressman since his first election to that august body. And many of them get into the mails. He is the most voidable talking machine in our time. Morse poses as n "librul" re publican, but he has supported and voted for the New Deal poli cies, more than most of the demo crats in congress. He justified the firing of General MacArthur from his command in the Far East by the President, as well as Truman's seizure of the steel industry which the supreme court ruled uncon stitutional. While Morse cannot be called silver tongucd" in his profusion Foreign Planes May Be Bought By United States WASHINGTON, June 21 UP The Defense Department said Fri day the United States is consider ing buying foreign military air craft for use by North Atlantic treaty countries. The department issued an an nouncement for Ambassador Wil liam H. Draper Jr., U. S. special representative, in Europe. It said the North Atlantic Council has requested .its secretary to prepare specific recommendations for the coordinated production or. aircran in Europe to help meet naiu re quirements. Await signature The mutual security authoriza tion bill awaiting President Tru man's signature left to the exec utive branch the decision on how to use. United States funds for purchase of military equipment in Europe "to the advantage of the mutual security program." The. Defense Department said the decision on use of funds to buy aircraft in European NATO countries will be made in light of these North Atlantic Council rec ommendations. But it added the willingness and ability of other Allied governments to participate with their own funds "will be a major factor in United States de termination to proceed. "In any case, the United States will make a final decision only after a careful evaluation of the characteristics of European air craft for operational require ments," the Defense Department statement said. Import of Dairy Products Held Down by Curbs WASHINGTON, June 21 Ml Dairv state congressmen were elated Friday over the House de cision to retain curbs on imports of cheese, butter and other fats and oils. ' They were confident that the Senate will reverse itself and ac cept the curbs when the price wage control bill goes to a con ference for adjustment ot aitier- ences in the House ana senate versions. Congress last summer clamped flat embargo on butter imports and tight restrictions of imports of fats, oils and cheese to protect the U. S. dairy industry trom tor eign competition. Repeal Demanded President Truman has demanded its repeal, protesting that it has hampered Eurobean countries in earning dollars they need to be come less dependent on U. is, foreign aid. Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.) offered the repealer during" House debate Thursday, but lost on a 105-25 standing vote. That left in the bill a slightly modified version ap proved by the House Banking Com mittee which would permit some relaxation of the year-old ban. Ren. August H. Andresen (R- Minn.), who sponsored the original curbs, told the House he was sat isfied that the new proposal gives "adequate protection" to . the do mestic dairy industry. Applied Selectively It provides that the curbs may be applied selectively so that non competitive foreign products, sucn as Roquefort cheese, could be shipped to this country in greater quantities. The secretary of agriculture could, at his discretion, boost im ports of restricted items Dy iu oer cent if this would promote trade without damaging the U. S. industry. The house rejected, 86-30, an amendment which would have lifted the curbs completely on any foreign product for which the re tail price was 10 per cent or higher than that of the comparable do mestic item. Many Absent : Senate sponsors of the curbs failed on a 38-38 tie vote to write the bans in the Senate version of the control bill. But Andresen claimed that many dairy state sen ators were absent that day and could "swing the vote" when the conference report comes up later. The Senate bill provides only for discretionary restrictions, and then only when the government has to .Duy. up surplus nutter, cneese or fats and oil slocks under tne tarm price support program. Nation Develops Huge Appetite For Watermelons By HARMAN W. NICHOLS WASHINGTON, June 21 IB The watermelon season is with us, and if the Department of Ag riculture Isn t mistaken we 11 eat more this year than ever before. In 1951, 9,9f,uuu melons val ued at S30.297.000 were consumed. This record Is expected to be bet tered this year. The department has an Inter esting little booklet out called quite properly watermelons. There are 29 more or less com mon varieties of the giant of the cucumber family, making It pretty big business. Names Unusual .The growers have tacked some rather unusual names to the var ious kinds. For example, there is the "Georgia Rattlesnake," which has a sweet taste and is fine grained. There is the "Irish Gray" which grows up to pounds. Among others, there is a variety known to the trade as tne xei- low Ice Cream." It's yellow on the ins de and has a sugary flavor, Watermelons are fine to eat but not so easy to grow. A lot of things can bo wrong irom water melon hill to the table, making it a highly speculative crop. Many Enemies The Department of Agriculture lists all sorts of enemies of the melon. There are the cucumber beetles, which destroy the seed- 1 ne. Cutworms and wireworms have been known to cause considerable damage. There Is a small louse like insect known as the water melon aphid. It obtains its liveli hood by sucKing plant juices. The sale ot tne grown melons often is affected by the weather. On hot, sultry days the demand often exceeds the supply. But on rainv days, or in cool, unseason able weather the demand falls off and the supply piles up in the back end of the grocery. The growers or wholesalers are not completely off tne hook fi nancially, even after the melons are picked and ready for ship ment. Rot Readily "A carload or truck load of mel ons may leave the farm in appar ently perfect condition," the de partment says. "But u tne cut stems are not treated with cop per sulfate paste after picking, the melons may be so spoiled by stem-end rot as to be unsaleable when they reach the market." 'Speaking of enemies of the melon grower, the department in an off-hand way comes to the defense "of small boys who are bitten by a streak of larceny when the first melon ripens. The department does not condone such thefts, but admits that little boys are the least of the growers' worries. - . ... i THIRTY-FIVE YEaAsTrT (Friday.
