; THE BEND BULLETIN and CENTRAL OREGON PRESS An Independent Newspaper Robert W. Chandler, Editor and Publisher Phil F. Broffan, Associate Editor Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation ntand M Bteood CbM HitUr, January m under Act The Bend Bulletin, Joseph Pulitzer II Joseph Pulitzer II, editor and publisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and one of the least-known execu tives in the newspaper business, died in St. Louis Wed- . nesday night. Son of a famous father, the man who established the New York World and founded the Post Dispatch, Pulitzer had remained in the shadow of a great newspaper for many years. Almost totally blind he took little' part in either the newspaper societies or the community activities in re cent years on which almost every man in his position spends much of his time. But in spite of his handicap he was very much the editor of the PoskDispatch. Hardly an employe was hired without an interview with "JP." When out of the office rre constantly phoned news tips and story suggestions to his city desk. - His father was famous for his work on the World. The younger Pulitzer made the Post-Dispatch one of the top newspapers in the country. Almost any experienced news paperman would put it somewhere on his list of the top ten papers in the country, and many would place it in the first two or three. Z " Under the will of his father the Pulitzer prizes for excellence in journalism were established. - Under the direction of the son, the Post-Dispatch it self won the coveted award five times in a period of 15 . years. Another generation of the family, represented by Joseph Pulitzer III, remains to carry on the traditions of the Post-Dispatch. But something will be missing, something which the newspaper will find hard to replace. The Mouths of Babes " Out of the mouth of a babe neighborhood type, aged five years came the information that her mother and father couldn't agree on how to decorate the windows of he store for the recent spring opening. Apparently the discussion got heated at one point. ; But, the tot informs us, the problems are all settled now. Another New Business? I Possibility of another income-producing activity for Central Oregon was seen a few days ago by the arrival here of three representatives of a major Hollywood studio. They were looking for scenery. I They put it this way: : "People are getting tired of seeing the same men on the same horses chase the same other men on the same horses over the same trail, past the same rock." I The men who visited here said their studio (United Artists) is not the only one facing the same problem. Central Oregon has many advantages for movie-mak- prs, they pointed out. Houslng'is available, equipment can be moved over good roads, excellent airport facilities make commuting to Hollywood easy, etc. I . Finding the right scenery for color cinemascope is the lonly problem, they said on their arrival.

S. defense planning is now be iiis? undertaken by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. American military leaders are fuced with, the possibility of u new war in the Orient between Red China and Nationalist China over Matsu and Quomoy Islands. If this fighting is extended to Communist attacks on Formosa, American in volvement is not rilled out. Kull-seale American mobiliza lion would be necessary if the U. S. Nationalist China mutual defense pact is invoked. Tins development would hrin down a din of "we -told-you-so" cries from critics of tho Kisen howcr administration's Now Lixjk defense policies. It is now being argued, however, that this New I.ook of 19M was never a frozen concept. The New Look was designed for the long haul," it has boon ex plained by Ada). Arthur W. Rad ford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs. A in-to-20 or even, a .in-to-aD-yenr continuing cold war of defense Mgainsl further Communist aggres sion was foreseen. In this period it was considered possible that there mighl be no World War III, but only local engagements. Kor this long haul, it was calcu lated that the I'nited States eco nomy could not stand the strain of full-scale military mobilization nl ill times. That would involve an nual defense budgets of JTiO billion, $f, billion, or even more with cor respondingly high taxes. The military budget was there fore cut down in the name of eco nomy to what the country could bear wilhiuil hardship. It was recognized that American military forces were overextended and ovordeployod. With the end of fighting in Korea, three divisions were pulled out. Today llierc are three divisions in the Far East, one in Il'iwail and one in Alaska for a total of five. There arc five divisions in Ku rope, one in Panama and nine in the United Stales. Rut it presently planned New lk economies arc carried out. these nine will be cut by two to four divisions. Coupled with this redeployment is the theory that America's su periority in atomic weapons and the world's greatest strategic oil' command will make possible in stant and divisive retaliation against any aggression. Inherent in all this New Look defense planning, however, has been the idea that if the assump tions for 'i continual.; cold war did not prove valid, they could be re appraised. This "New View" of tiie New Ltok is now- Under way. II even partial V. S mobilization is called for. new requests to Con gress for larger defense budgets could be made before the end of the present session. Military appropriations are usually the last m clear Congress.

V Sure' Looks" Good ! ' certain. Tho basic new look economies in military spending on which the Congress would have to build are these: The total Department of Defense expenditures of $32 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 195:1, were cut to an estimated $41.7 bil lion for the fiscal year ending June 30, Una, and $11.5 for the next fiscal year. ,The New Look involved a re duction in U. S. armed forces from an authorized 3.5 million men in 1953 lo 2.9 million by June 30, 195, and 2.8 million a year later. Critics of these cuts have con tended that they were unrealistic in today's troirtiled world. Even the planned increase from 33,000 to lO.tltlfl planes half jets for Air Force, Navy and Marines in the next three years was criticized as not enough. A conflict over these cuts was revealed within the Joint Chiefs of Staff when Gen. Matthew B. Ridg way, Army Chief of Staff, disclosed to congressional committees that he was opposed to reduction in ground forces strength. Letters To the Editor: I have been wondering whether the writer of the headline over yesterday's front page item about the quotation ascribed lo Shake speare and Pope intended to let the record stand as shown. If so, I venture lo point out that thp words quoted were from neither Shakespeare nor Pope. They wore written by Sir Waller Scott in his poetic work, "Marmion." Respectfully, ROHERT V. SAWYER Bond.

""- 11 am- to Quick Home SKYLIN MOW 'Full Support' Given Program WASHINGTON (UP) Interior Secretary Douglas McKay yester day gave his "full support" to al program which gradually would make Alaska responsible for the care and treatment of its mentally ill. A proposed program supported! by the Interior Department, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the Budget Bur eau provides: 1. Annual federal grants to be mude on a declining sliding scale over a ten year period. For each of the first two years the grant would be one million dollars. This would help defray costs of trans porting to the states and hospital izing mental patients until facili ties are available in Akiska. 2. An appropriation of 6 1-2 mil lion dollars to be spent by the pub lic health service over 10 years for construction of several facili ties for in-patient and out-patient care. 3. Transfer to the territory of 500,000 acres of public lands in eluding mineral deposits. Revenue from the land to be used for ment al patient care. McKay outlined the program in response to an inquiry from chair man Clair Engle (D-Calif) of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. Engle had asked for McKay's views on two pending bills involving a hospital and health program for the territory.

MCCANN United Prew Staff Correspondent The week's good and bad news on the international balance sheet: The Good 1. President Elsenhower took di rect issue with military leaders who had predicted a Chinese Com munist attack on the Matsu and Quemoy islands starting about April 15 an attack which might force the United States into war. The President made it known he does not believe there will be such an attack. He said also, at a press conference, that too much specula tion about war does not serve the peace and tranquillity of the world. 2. The possibility of a Big Four conference with Russia was strengthened. Soviet Premier Niko lai A. Bulganin said his govern ment took a "positive 'attitude" to ward the idea of a conference. The Western Allies had determined to hold no conference until final rati fication of the treaties to arm West em Germany. Approval of the treaties to arm Western Germany. Approval of the treaties by the French Parliament made early ratification certain. 3. Britain announced it will join the new defense treaty between Turkey and Iraq. The British ac tion will strengthen the Allied mili tary position in the Middle East. It also will be a blow to the "neu tralism" of Egypt and India, which are trying to keep Asian and Afri can countries from cooperating with the West. The Bad 1. West Berlin was threatened with a new blockade by Soviet Russia, like the one that was smashed in 1949 by a historic air lift. The East German Communist, undoubtedly by order of the Soviet Matter of Hours For Churchill? LONDON (UP) Conservative member of Parliament Beverley Beaverbmok's Daily Express, said today he thinks Prime Minister Winston Churchill will resign in "a matter of hours." Baxter did not commit himself on how long is a "matter of hours." But Tuesday is only 72 hours away, and Baxter's declaration did not change the general expectation that Churchill will step down as Prime Minister on that day. Baxter still is regarded as close to Beaverbrook, who in turn is an intimate friend of Churchill. The express on March 19 was the first British newspaper to say flatly that Churchill would resign. Speaking at Birmingham, Bax ter said: "I think the resignation of Sir Winston is a matter of hours and (he accession to authority of Sir Anthony Eden is a matter of days."

If you want to get ahead financially, better do your saving BEFORE you do your spending. Deposit a fixer amount in your savings account the day you get paid. Budget the balance to cov er your expenses. Then if your pockets are empty on the morning of the next payday ... so what?

He also criti cized the defense alliances the Al lies arc concluding in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
