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.

(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

German technical skills will be
employed, says Mr. McCloy, to pro
duce radar equipment and aircrafl

countries cannot make.
The great risk in this plan is thai
German skills in aircraft and guid

the fullest at a lime when the
Western powers are woefully weak
on air power.

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

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

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
