GENERAL MacARTIIUR. KEYNOTER
Monday niht General Douglas MacArthur regained the
heights ho had reached more than a year uolore in his aa
dress to the Uinted Slates Congress. Then, an officer sum
; marily relieved of high command but a nation's hero, he
, charmed with his oratory, convinced with his logic and won
i admiration and respect for his statesmanlike qualities. At
Chicago two evenings ago he was the spokesman for a great
i political party, whose delegates had gathered to nominate a
new president, upon mm nad neon placed me responsiDimy
for sounding the keynote of the nominating convention and of
I the campaign which would follow. It was a great responsi
bility and he discharged it well. As an orator he had, if any-
i thing, improved. The logic of his step-by-step development
i could no more be shrugged oft than 'when he made his his-
i torip address in Washington, D. C. His analysis of domestic
'- conditions and of the world situation was keen and search-
; ing, his conclusions worthy of the closest attention.
Two negative values in his address must have struck
; most of his hearers. One was as he failed to justify, in any
particular, the pre-convention apprehension that his words
would be instruments to further the candidacy of his favorite,
Robert A. Taft. It was not a speech tailored to fit the needs
, of the senator from Ohio any more than to aid Dwight D.
Eisenhower on his way to the presidency. The other was as
: he failed to give the slightest hint that he himself would be
a willing candidate. Some of his speeches since his WashT
ington appearance have sounded that way; but Monday night
there was nothing of this. General MacArthur was speaking
for the party; he was urging change from present abuses,
; rectification of currently continuing errors, cleansing of the
stable, a different comprehension of the world from the
: Washington observation post. , .
After tho address we heard the comment that General
i MacArthur did not so much keynote the convention as
: indict a political regime concerned with its own perpetuation
rather than with serving America. There can be no question
that it was such an indictment. But in that indictment, in
; the speaker's searching criticism, the keynote of convention
and campaign was likewise given. It is tho keynote of attack
for only by attack may the indecision of tho old administra
tion be replaced by the decision of the new or tho callous-
; ness and cynical indifference of the old be forced to give
way to sensitive awareness and intelligent response.
Moreover, in the attack is connoted championship of the
" antithesis of things attacked economy instead of waste, re
sponsibility instead of irresponsibility, a well braked halt on
the road to socialism instead of rushing on to disaster, sound-
: ness in thought and action instead of unsoundness. ;
General MacArthur pointed tho way to all of these
; and gave his party and his nation vital, important things to
work on over the next fow months, fundamental ideas upon
" which all may build, with unity and strength, to achievement.
Convention Now
Expected to Run
Into Saturday '
CHICAGO, July 9 Wl-The Re
publican Convention seems sure to
run into Saturday.
It originally was scheduled to
end Thursday afternoon.
The time-tnblo has been knocked
Into a cocked hat by the bitter
Taft-Eisenhower fight over seating
contested Southern delegates. That
fight is now hung up in the cre
dentials committee. The conven
tion cannot act on a platform, a
candidate or anything else until
all delegates are officially seated.
The committee promised to work
all Tuesday night, hut adjourned
about 11:45 p.m. CST until 8 a.m.
partly because both sides wanted
a nationwide television and radio
audience for their arguments.
When the credentials committee
finishes its work and reports to the
convention - possibly Wednesday
evening the whole business will
be fought out again on the conven
tion floor.
All that convention leaders know
now about tho schedule is that
they're behind it a full day, prob
ably two.
Once the "battle of the stolen
delegates" is finally settled, the
party can get about the business
of adopting a platform, electing a
permanent chairman and finally
nominating a presidential candi
date. National GOP ,. Chairman Guy
George Gnbriclson had hoped for
adjournment of tho convention late
Friday night. Temporary Chair
man Walter S. Hallanun thought
the delegates still would be in
their air-conditioned wrangle-room
Saturday.

THE REVISED WPA OREGON
Back in WPA days workers of the. Writers' Program pro
duced the Oregon volume of the American Guide series. Now
; there is a revised edition with added material by Howard
McKinley Corning. A copy comes to us for review,- n bit of
I work that we undertake with reluctance because tht! revision
is a most uneven piece of work.
As wo look over this revision and compare it with tho
'original edition we note that many of the hitter's errors are
ropcated. Here and there, too, while events and changes
occurring at a later date are noted the earlier facts affected
thereby remain as originally set down.
. Knowing Bend bettor than any other part of the state we
have looked to see what tho revised edition had to say about
tho city. Without going into particulars we say that the text
. has not been revised as nnyono living here would agree that
it should bo. Some material added is poorly done. Camp Abbot
. is placed between Bend and Redmond.
Elsewhere in the book we observe that George P. Putnam
appears as George H. and that tho operation of the Pacific
TrailWays on U. S. No. 97 is not noted. From the text it would
appear that its field was limited to State 50 and U. S. No. 20.
We note a change in the text indicating the death of C. E. S.
Wood but Charles H. Carey is named as still living.
There arc new photographs and some text but the latter
is badly confused.
The book has values but, in our opinion, it is a very sloppy-job.

garage floors dissolve instantly,

Commies Riot
Against Ridgway
LONDON, July 9 P Club-wield
ing police fought a brisk hand-to-hand
skirmish with a small group
of Communist rioters Wednesday
as Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway ar
rived by plane from Paris for a
two-day visit with top British leaders.
The fight occurred as about 30
demonstrators rushed onto the air
port and scattered leaflets when
the Allied supreme commander's
plane landed.
Police dispersed the group and
later reported that seven were ar
rested. No casualties were report
ed. The leaflets read, "Ridgway go
home Britons never shall be
slaves."
About a half dozen men who
wore red neckties tossed pam
phlets into the air and shouted,
"Go home, Ridgway." Police took
them into custody.
Ridgway and his wife stepped
from the plane, which landed at
10:10 a.m., as the demonstration
was broken up.

In the Senate and eight in the
House on significant issues. On
only live of them could President

tory, despite the Democratic ma
jority in both the Senate and
House.

sen by CQ, were on:

Revenue reorganization, Alaska

dent's veto of the Immigration
bill, ending' price controls, a "re
quest" that Mr. Truman invoke
Taft-Hartley in the steel strike,
flood control funds, and an agri
culture (soil conservation) appro
priation. Key votes In the House:
MSA funds, a call for Informa
tion on U. S.-Britlsh agreements,
universal military training, mili
tary spending, tidelands, the im
migration bill vete, to end. price
controls, and "requesting" the
President to use the Taft-Hartley
procedure in the steel dispute.
Senate "Truman Defeats"
The President didn't get what
he wanted in the Senate when:
Feb. 27, on a vote that split
both Democratic and Republican
forces down the middle, the Alas
ka statehood bill was sent back
to committee. Sen. George A.
Smothers (DFla.) offered the
motion to recommit. The biparti
san key roll-call vote was 45-44.
Democrats voted 25 for and 24
against, Republicans, 20-20.
April 20, the "states' rights" bill
to give coastal states title to oil-
rich submerged tidelands won
Senate approval 50-35. Democrats

Mr. Truman vetoed the bill.

Up in Hood River county a sus
tained yield program is beini:
worked out with I lie United States
forestry department which will in
sure an adequate supply of timber
from the Mount Hood foresls for
operators in the Hood River urea
for years to come. A similar pro-
gram already is in operation down
in Lake county. The need for such
i a program In Clackamas and Mult
- noman counties is as groat as any
where in the slate, yet no move
has been made lo bring it nlxiul.
Surprisingly, the move in Hood
River county was sparked by a
. chamber of commerce rather than
.by lumber or lostting interests, al
though wo have an idea that they
were willing co-operators in the
effort.
Gresham and Sandy chambers of
commerce might well Join hands in
looking into such a program for-the
south slope of Mount Hood. There
arc close to 50 mills of varying
sizes operating in these communi
ties and many of them are procur
ing logs with increasiiiK dilfiiul
ties each year. Some predict that
the end of their supply is in sighl
unless some type ol program can
be worked out which will guaran
tee to the local nulls the limber
from the south slope of Mount
Hood. The government's sustained
yield program is designed for that
specific purpose. It might supply
the answer to continued operation
of all of these mills for many years
hi come. At any rate, It should be
worth investigating.

tual Security Act authorization of
$7.9 billion, ultimately was to re
receive one of about a billion and
a half less. In comparison, this
"defeat" was a minor one but the
Long amendment was the only
reduction successfully proposed
from the Senate floor. The House
already had sharply trimmed the
total and the Senate agreed to a
committee proposal for a cut of
$1 billion.
June 10, Mr. Truman was "nee
dled." The Senate accepted an
amendment to the extension of
the economic controls hill "re
questing" the President to invoke
the injunction provision of the
Taft-Hartley Act to stop the steel
strike. Sen. Harry Flood Byrd (D
Va.) offered the amendment and
a GOP-Dixie coalition swung the
vote 49-30. Democrats voted 18 for
and 27 against the amendment.
Republicans balloted 31 for and
three against. The President had
asked Congress for authority to
seize the steel plants after the Su
preme Court ruled he did not hold
such power.'
June 18, the President's cher
ished plan to build the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway was
sent back to the Foreign Relations
Committee on motion of Sen. Her
bert R. O'Conor (D Md.) The key
vote was 43-40. Democrats voted
19 for recommital and 24 against;'
Republicans 24-16. .
June 27, the McCarran-Walter
omnibus immigration bill to co
dify existing statutes became law.
The Senate followed the House's
example and overrode the Presi
dent's veto of the measure he call
ed "worse than the infamous Ali
en Act of 1798." The vote to ov
erride was 57-26 (Democrats 25
18, Republicans 32-8).
And Truman "Victories
Four key votes in the upper
chamber during the year went in
the President's favor more or
less. The Senate March 13 backed
the President's plan to reorganize
the scandal-tainted Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. A resolution dis-
the olfice of collector and reDla
