. 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;

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. ' 1 1 -,

with the tide lands ownershin there is one important fact to

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,

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.

protested in
East Berlin. 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
