PAGE MONDAY, JUNE t, 1853 . V. AST OREOONIAN AND DE VOTO In a recent jssue of Harper's magazine Bernard Voto, in his editorial featureThe Easy Chair, wrote of the shameful manner in which timber lands came into private ownership back In homesteading days, Then he likened to those doings the tide lands business and the Interior department intention to leave the Hells canyon power decision to the Federal Power Commission. The Pendleton East Oregonian has reprinted this De Voto feature under its title, 'The Sturdy Corporate Homesteader," witn odvious approval oj pne criticism ulK tide lands and power undertakings. ; y. -i,. .' -:' ' One of the De Voto assertions is as to the ownership of ' Idaho Power Company. "It is" he says, "not even a western corporation : it is chartered in Maine and owned by Boston ' trusts." . Even were the ownership as stated one wonders what that has to do with Hells Canyon. According to tne company, however, it is not '.'owned by Boston trusts." In an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch we find that the com- pany "declares that individuals own slightly more tnan nan Its voting stock, 81-Jnsurance companies own not quite a seventh of the total, and educational institutions less tnan a twentieth. Aetna Life Insurance Co. with less than 2 per cent of the voting strength, is the biggest single owner; Harvard university appears to be next." !: ; It seems to us that if the Fendieton paper uses tne ue .Voto article as an argument against Idaho Power it should he sure that he has his facts straight.

THE BELKNAP SPRINGS-SANTIAM BOUTE The opening of the McKenzie highway has given the Eugene Register-Guard occasion for editorial comment that includes a quick review of some of the history of the route and a final acceptance of the fact that it is not feasible to keep it open for winter travel. Our own opinion, based on studies ipade on the ground and snow has long been to that effect. We are glad to have our-Eugene friend's agree ment. Its.editorial iS Preprinted on this page. The , Register-Guard reference to: the "new road" from Belknap Springs to the Santiam leads us to suggest that the road is not exactly in the new class, Jt was built, some years ago. Ijt is hew, howeveiywith respect to its classification as a forest highway and perhaps that is what is meant. As such it may receive allocations of forest highway funds for improvement.-; Assuming that' it is properly' located improve 7ienfc would include , widening -of , ,the grade and then surfacing. Accepting the fact that the summit section of the McKenzie cannot be kept open in the winter m6nths the Register-Guard says that this Belknap Springs-Santiam road will be the most practical all-year route from the McKenzie valley and this is, indeed, the fact if only the McKenzie valley is considered as the western terminus of the route, If Eugene is taken as the starting , (or ending) point on the route and Bend the .eastern end then the Willamette highway has the advantage, as well as we can figure it from the state highway map distances,, by some 12 miles. We cannot believe that much travel would Originate in the winter in the valley above, , say, Springfield. The greater volume would be out of Eugene and that city should be included in any planning. McKenzie' valley interests have promoted the'Belknap Santiam connection hoping that with that route improved more winter travel would pass their way. They are justified, certainly,, in doing all they can to serve their interests. It seems hardly likely, however, that funds in anv sufficient size will be made available for the improvement they want at any time in tne near luture, IP Others Say Mt'KENZIE I'AHS 18 OPEN , FOR THE SEASON (Eugene RpgUter-Guarcl) A front-page picture o( an auto mobile wading between ...melting banks ol piled up snow, serves to convey the news thai the Mc Kenzie Pass is again open for I he season. There was a timeonly 25 years ago when the opening of Ihis route lo liend and other parts of Central Oregon was "top head" news (or many clays preceding and following Hie accomplishment The casual acceptance of (ho McKenzie Pass opening reflects highway progress' in Ihc development of numerous routes and roads, in the bid days, the opening of : Iho McKenzie began with reports on snow measurements by volun teer' ski . patrols and prolonged agitation on both sides of the Cas cades for Iho dispatch of snow plows. Thereafter the progress of the snow plows was a matter of daily bulletins. As the snow plows approached a meeting point, there would be motor car, caravans from liend and Eugene to witness the final break through. These were gain occasions. II is now generally agreed that Ihc new road which has been started from Belknap Springs lo the Sapllnm, jy way of Clrar Lake, will bp the mos practical all-year route 'from the McKenzie ' Valley. The old roiile over the lava fields has loo much drifting sncw, loo many deep cuts and too many i sharp grades and curves which cannot be corrected without pro hibitive cost. The Clear ' Lake route adds only nine miles lo the total distance and it can be made virtually "snow proof." The old McKenzie I'as.i will re main as a summer roulo but one of great value for forest-fire fight ers and summer travelers. It will never be abandoned. It Is the short route to the Three Sisters area. It has many memories. It was the original route of the freight and rail lines from the Valley to Central Oregon. The Craig Monu ment near West: Lava marks the place where John Craig, pioneer mail carrier, lost his life in a snow storm. The Dee Wright Tower at the summit stands as a tribute to one of the famous packers of the region. Some of us remember (he abortive gold rush to the lava field near Windy Point. There are innumerable stories and legends which attach lo this niece of high way and the old Scott Trail which preceded it, - ine Mchcnzin Pass played a big part in highway development. For years it stood as a challenge to the development of intcrmountain all-year routes. Delegates Set For Convention REDMOND, June 2Q'-Whcn (he Loyal.

The mere fact that anybody under a Communist e over-n ment control can protest against any decree is surprising enough in it self. But the fact that the work men had their demands met is positively sensational. - It is possible that the long-re pressed workers, taking this con cession as a sign of weakness, were inspired to the widespread riots that brought out rtussian tanks and machine guns and re sulted in martial, law being de clared. , . ' " - " Before this, over the past cou ple of weeks,- West Berlin and West German' authorities have been astounded by these other events; 1. A change from a Russian mil itary commander to a civilian high commissioner. 2. A halt on expansion of the- collectivized farm system, 3. An offer of state bank credits to private businessmen to re-open shops and factories that had been closed down because they offered competition to state Industries. 4. A promise of amnesty and re turn of property to refugees who would return to Jiast uermany. 5. A relaxation of controls over the churches, church property, clergymen and church organiza tions such as youth groups. 6. Issuance of ration cards to all East Germans, regardless of whether- they had . Communist Party political connections or not. Intense Soviet izut ion The suddenness with which these reforms have been put into effect in this latest turnabout of Communist policy has of course sent all non-Communist govern ment officials searching for mo tives. . ' When the U. S, High Commis sioner to Germany, former Har vard President James B. Conant, returned to Washington early In Juno to testify before congres sion committees, he made one radio appearance in which he laid great stress on the completeness of the separation between East and West Germany. He emphasized that this soviet Ization of East Germany had been Intensified ' over the past year. From the very day on which the new "contractual agreement" peace treaty had been signed last May between West Germany and tne western allied powers, the Communists began to tighten their hold on East Germany. The border had been closed at all points except the autobahn and the railroad Into Berlin. Col lectivization of farms was step, ped up. More private Industries were closed down. 'Production quotas on farms and factories were raised to levels impossible to meet. The result was that the num ber of refugees fleeing from East Germany to West Germany in creased. When West Berlin's May or Ernest Renter was In Wash ington last March, he reported the refugee stream approaching 60,000 a month. Though Berlin had camps capable of handling 115.000 refugees at a time, the ca pacity was being increased by 25,(K)0. Only half as many refu gees could be airlifted out daily to West Germany as came Into Berlin. All ( hnuged The main reason given for flight was sovietization of the eeimumy. When their property was confiscated, East Germans felt it was time lo leave. Nohntlv knew what conditions would be tomorrow. Better leave today. There was general feeling' that the split between East anil West Germany might last for 10 years. Hut before Dr. Conant could gel back lo his post, all this was changed. Communist policy did guess is tnat the communists were' deliberately trying to rid their zone of anti-Communists in this way. There were wild ru mors in Germany last year that the Russians wanted 'to repopu- late East Germany with Russians or even Chinese. s When the net effect of this pol icy was that 10 per cent of, the East German population had mi grated or beeh sent to concentra tion camps, food -production be gan to fan ofj: sharply. ' i East -Uermany-t-once Europeis richest breadbasket may this year have an actual food short age, rnis economic factor alone might be sufficient reason for trje Communists to relax on their sov ietization of East Germany, to lure -back the refugee German farmers. ' j Another motive might stem from an awareness of the anti communism boiling under the sur face. If so, the retorms came tc)o late to prevent the hatred from exploding into the biggest anti Red riots ever staged in a Corir munist country. j Day in Cairo Begins Early, .
