Government's Compefition
, During the past year or so, a number of persons
' and some organizations have been investigating the ex
tent with which government competes with private busi
ness. ; .;' - f : y. .'
Last year, for example, a subcommittee of the House
Committee on Government Operations tried to find the
extent with which government competes with private en
terprise. The subcommittee soon gave up, however. The
areas were so numerous the group's members couldn't
even begin to make a rough estimate.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce then took up the
cudgels. In a study released in 1954 it noted that the
government competed strongly with private enterprise in
a number of lines power production, lending, insur
ance, warehouse operations, the trucking business, the
operation of freight boats, to name a few and that
the government is the nation's biggest tenant, biggest
landlord, biggest owner of timber and grazing lands and
biggest owner of grain.
Now the executive branch of the government is itself
trying to find out where it is in competition'with privalc
business. President Eisenhower ordered the Budget Bu
reau to find out. So last week the bureau ordered all
government agencies and departments to list the areas
in which they compete. The agencies and departmenls
have also been ordered to show good reasons why com
mercial interests cannot do each job just as well, or
better. ' '
Perhaps now we'll find out why the government;
continues to roast coffee, bake bread, log and mill tim
ber, process steel scrap and operate hotels, to name but
a few. i
"Don't Worry-!'m Right Behind You"
Milt on Minus Freewater
Mayor Lew Yantis wants to change the name of his
town, and there are many who will agree that the effort
has merit.
. The mayor's town is Milton-Freewatcr, in Oregon's
Umatilla county not far from the Oregon line. ,
"We need to change the name of our city," Mayor
Yantis declared, adding: "We need a name that has a
principle and character." His appeal lias already been
heard throughout the west, and suggestions for names
are. pouring in. It is a wide-open contest. All proposed
names will be kept secret until the mayor's choice is
TYlHrlo.
Then, we presume, the Oregon Geographic Board
will be called on for a recommendation to the U.S. Board
on Geographic names.
Rofnro nelrinrr fni n npw riiimn ftif Ihn THjidlorn Civa-
goii town, Mayor Yantis should have traced the history of
the presefit.combination name. .
;, Milton appears to have been the first of twin towns
.to earn a place on the Oregon map--and in this year
1955 Milton, on one side of Oregon Highway 11, appears
in heavy dark letters, and Freewater, on the other side,
in lighter type. The name Milton was selected for the
community shortly after 1868.
Freewater was established as a rival community to
pioneer Milton. The town hoped to get settlers by offer
ing free water, for irrigation purposes. Hence the name
Freewater. However the. original plat of the town was
filed as New Walla Walla, on account of its proximity
to Walla Walla, Wash. That filing was made in 1889.
The plat for Freewater was filed August 16, 1890.
Gradually the two towns grew and merged, and
their names also merged. Milton-P reewater beunme wide'
ly known in the northwest, not only because of its rich
farm lands, but, in earlier years, because of athletic
teams that seasonally bowled over opponents from the
big .towns. '
Apparently the U.S. Tostal department was reluct
. ant at first to recognize the long name Miltoli-Freewntcr,
just as Farewell Bond, was rejected in pioneer days in
favor of Bend. However, the 'current issue of the postal
guide indicates that the department has accepted the hy
phenated name. -'
Mayor Yantis will receive scores of suggestions for
a new and shorter name for the bustling Eastern Oregon
town. If these suggestions follow, the usual trend they
will range from "Paradise," a name that is always in the
running, to "Pendwalla," in recognition of the communi
ty's location between Pendleton and Walla Walla.
' Our choice is Milton. It is an easy name to pronounce
and remember. It is short. It has priority rights. And it
has a history.
The name Milton is believed to have been selected
for the community in 1868 by William S. Frazior, a pio
neer resident who knew the area when it was known as
Freeport. He selected the name Milton because a saw
mill was projected for the community. "Milltown was
rejected as a name.
Incidentally, the late Lewis A. McArthur, compiler

confirmation for tno ueiiei ot some inai buiioh '
named after the poet, John Milton. ,
i But even so the name Milton has "pvimiple and
character," and also hus a. history that would be foreign
to any new name.
Finance Director Draws Control Board Criticism 1
SALEM. (UP) Harry S. Dor
man, director of the State Depart
ment ol Finance and Administra
tion,, was criticized at the State
Board of Control meeting this
week for taking part in preparing
a bill to transfer control of better
ment funds in the various state
institutions from the Board of Con
trol to his department without
consulting members of the board.
Gov. Paul L. Patterson said he

Edson in Washington
Continuing Stalemate Forecast
By PETKK EDSON
NKA WiiKhington rorr4pomlfnt
WASHINGTON (NEA) Like
liest outcome of the Formosa
crisis is now regarded in Washing
ton as a continuing stalemate.
A remote possibility is for an
undeclared, uiieusy cease-fire a
greement. Before that is achieved,
there may be some testing out
of military action by Red China,
probing to see how far the U. S.
will go in backing up Nationalist
Chinese forces.
The worst possible outcome is
conceived as a United Nations
resolution which would he accep
table to Communist China, but
which the United States could not
accept. Such a solution would lie
a UN decision to givt Formosa
lo Rod China.
An America velo of this solution
in the UN Security Council would
have the effect of separating the
U. S. from its allies. There i is
a general recognition in Washing
ton that any decision the United
Slates makes on Formosa must
have Allied backing. The U. S.
sponsored the Formosan cease
fire pmpnsul largely to get this
free world backing for the Ameri
can moral position.
Kven Adm. Arthur W. Radford,
Chnirman ' of the U. S. Joint
Chiefs of Staff, is said to roeoc-
iiize that this country must have
world opinion on its side.
He has been quoted frequently
as favoring a China blockade, a
more aggressive military policy
for the U. S. in the Far East,
and a fighl-now-rather-lhanlalcr
IHilicy.
This has been limited, however,
by his belief that those things
could bo done only if the intor-
imporlant qualification frequently
omitted in slating the Admiral's
views. ,
The basic military decision in
handling the Far Eastern situation
is that the retention of Formosa
in hands friendly to the U. S. is
essential for American defense.
Civilian officials don't question the
iecision ot Ihe military on this
point.
A contributing factor to this do
cision is a civilian, political
reasoning that any further retreat
or Concession of real estate to the
Communists in the Far Fast will
have a devastating effect on the
Allied cause in Asia.
If the United States lets Red
China have Formosa without a
fight, there is a risk that the
whole of Asia will go down the
Communisf drain, The Asian peo
ple want to be on a winning side.
In the defense of Formosa more
is a firm coviction that no
American ground forces shall be
committed on the China mainland.
Any U. S. action will be limited
to U. S. Navy and Air Force.
The question that arises from
this is whether the United Slates
would fight to support the Chinese
rationalists present hold on Que
moy, Mntsu or the Taehen Islands.
The United Slates definitely does
not want to go to war with Com
munist Chi n,t over a tiny, Chinese
coastal island. Furthermore, the
Chinese Rods have said many
limes that they were fighting not
lo .liberate Quemoy, but to win
Formosa. '
On Ihe other hand, suppose the
U. S. gave no support to Chinese
Nationalists to hold the off-shore
islands. Suppose they fell into
Communist hands without a
struggle.
That might destroy Nationalist
Chinese morale. It woidd make
the holding of Formosa impossible.
The next step would be that the
U. S. would have to tight on the
ground to save Formosa.
Some of the ooustul islands are
said to be almost impregnable
fortresses, heavily manned with
Nationalist troops. AVith U. S. air
and naval supK)it they might be
held indefinitely. Attacking Red
troops might be slaughtered in
great numbers.
II is conceded that in such an
action a U. S. aircraft carrier
might l)e sunk by Red bombers,
accidentally or on purpose. Un
der present policy President
Eisenhower would then have a free
hand, if he chose, to order "hot
pursuit" of Red bombers back to
their bases and the destruction
In McGreer Case
Kay Edwin McGreer, arrested
as drunk . following a collision
early yesterday evening, pleaded
guilty to the charge in municipal
court last night.
Municipal Judge Alvin J. Gray
deferred sentence pending recom
mendation of City Attorney Harry
A. English. The bail of $100 was
continued.
McGreer was released from city
jail yesterday afternoon on pay
ment of the bail. He had been held
since his arrest following a colli
sion between his car and a taxi
driven by Donald Eugene Osenton,
1320 Newport.
The crash occurred at the inter
section of an alley and. Oregon
across from the Baptist church.
Though both cars were extensive
ly damaged, the. drivers escaped
injury.
McGreer's address is route 3,
box 292.
of those bases.
So-called "massive retaliation,"
such as was talked of grandly in
the earlier days of the Eisenhower
udminislration, is apparently no
longer contemplated. There would
he no bombing of Peipmg. The
sealo of the American counterat
tack would be determined by the
scale of the original Red attack.
It is further emphasized that
this limited reaction is not "pre
ventive war. It is described as
"action to prevent war." if you
can make that distinction.
The administration is apparent
ly counting 'heavily on the effec
tiveness of this deterrent action.
The idea is that a decision would
be reached quickly and not
through an extended war as in
Korea.
There is a belief that the Red
Chinese do not want a full scale
war. A defeat inflicted on Com
munist China in a limited action
would have a devastating effect
on its plan for expansion in this
part of the world.
This is calculated as a further
dcterret, contributing lo -the in
definile continuation of a Formosa

Bend's Yesterdays
FOKTII-FIVE YEARS AOO
Bend Bulletin, Feb. 10, 1910
W. II. Staats reports that, the
Oregon Trunk Railway is prepar
ing to operate a ferry across the
Columbia at the mouth of the Col
umbia. Tlie ferry will be used in
moving supplies over the Colum
bia for crews now. at work on the
Deschutes line.
Plans have been approved for a
new town some 30 miles south of
Bend that is lo be known as La-
Pine. James Gleason, W. R. Riley
and Alfred A. Aya, all of Portland,
have organized a company to
build a hotel at the site.
The sawmill that Sig Clark is
installing on the Fred Hunncll
place rcarhed town on Saturday,
after a difficult trip from Shaniko.
Roads softened following the re
cent thaw and wagons used in
hauling the equipment mired into
the mud on the Shaniko flats.
C. II. Erickson announces that
he has mined about 100 tons of
gypsum at his Bear Creek depo
sits and will order a grinding ma
chine at once.
Grover Cald.vell of Rosland is in
the Valley this week on a business
trip.
Bend residents got a good look
at Halloy's comet, in the western
sky, this past -week.
and said he was "very much con
cerned." "
'I talked with Mr! Dorman and
he has apologized," the governor
said. Dorman later told the United
Press he was sorry be had been
'off base" and the criticism at
the Board of Control meeting was
fully justified. -
Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry said no person in his depart
ment would be permitted to pre
sent any legislation affecting the
department without his knowledge.
State Treasurer Sig Unander
called attention to the fact that
Ihe bill Senate bill 190 on the
face of it stated that it was "intro
duced by the ' Ways and Means
Committee at request of the De
partment of Finance and Adminis
tration" andsa idhew asopp osed
tration" and said he was' opposed
to it in its present form.
Gov. Patterson told the board he
had talked with Sea Howard Bel
ton (R-Canby), chairman of the
Senate Ways and Means Commit
tee, and found that the committee?
obieeted to use of unbudgetedt
funds in the betterment funds for.
capital outlays over and above the
budgeted amounts for such proj-i
ects. :
Dorman told the board he 'had
the bill drafted at "the specific
request of the ways and means;
committee." , T
Unander suggested that certain'
limitations might be placed oiu
expenditures from Institutional;;
betterment funds but said the
Board of Control should continue
to administer such funds.' i ;
William Ryan, co - ordinator of
state institutions, said use of bet-
terment funds many times has.

The money in betterment funds":
is derived from profits gained in;
operations of farms, laundries and
other industries in the larger in-
stitutions and from sale ot furni--
mates in the smaller institutions. ".
