A couple of weeks ago the Department of Justice an
nounced that the big (1.5 million member) United Auto
Workers Union had been

the Federal Corrupt Practices

This is nothing new, of course. The case is a test of
whether or not the law prohibits unions from making
- political contributions, as the law stateH, as well as it
prohibits corporations from making such contributions.
Corporations were forbidden to make political con-
tributions in a 1925 law. During World War II the law
"' was amended to add unions to the list. An earlier attempt
to test the amendment failed when the Supreme Court
refused to act on the issue in the case, as it frequently
docs.
' The UAW is expected to fight the suit with every
power at its command. The Justice Department will pros
ecute as vigorously as it is able. Between the two we
might got the answer this time.
Russians in Iowa
Those Russian farm experts touring Iowa to learn
more about the corn - hog type of agriculture ' they
. hope to get the same thing going in the Soviet are
learning a lot.
At first they were frankly amazed at the amount of
machinery in use, and the amount of labor it cut out. The
.. very idea that a man and his teen-aged son could handle
a couple of hundred acres of Iowa cropland threw them
into a swivet.
A good, first-class heat wave hit Iowa about the
time the Russians arrived. They ducked for air-conditioned
hotels at every opportunity. We hope someone told
them the heat was essential to the corn crops, and feel
"that someone should have taken them into the middle of
a remote corn field in the middle of a hot night, so they
roulrl hear the joints popping in the corn stalks as they
;grcw.
They saw a couple of American movies.
One starred Marilyn Monroe. After the picture was
over one of the visitors was heard to remark that "Russia
Heeds more women of that
The other show was a

lliougnt Miss Russell was a "bust."
The remark caused a little furore. So the next day
the Russian announced he had said the wrong thing, pro
bably because his knowledge of English was imperfect.
What he meant to say, he indicated, was that Jane
was "one of the outstanding figures in the movie world."
Yep, those Russians are learning a lot.

WASHINGTON INKA) The has-;
sle over 19 so-called "dollar a-,
year" men in Department of Com
merce smells a little, bit of politics.
Hut it is really a Democratic
ittempt to Uscredit a system that
was set up by the Democratic ad
ministration itself during the ho-
ean war emergency.
The aim was to net experienced
justness executives, thoroughly fa
miliar with Hie problems of their
annus industries, to handle jov-
nunent allocations ami priorities
of scarce materials channeled in
defense production.
A secondary objective was to
train u laiue number of business
executives in government adminis
tration. The idea was to build up
a pool of trained administrators
who could be drafted to come to
Washington to handle all-nut de
fense production and industri tl
mobilization in case the country
got into u major war.
The system has worked well on
hoth phases. In the five years
since the Defense Production Act
of Mi'H) was passed, nearly IK) busi
ness executives have done tours
if duly in Washington ranging
rom six months to a year and
i half.
Actually, these men are not
'dollnr-a - year" men. They are
known as VOC which is govern
ment gohhledygik for "without
ompensation." They work full
ime.
There Is another group, known
ts WAK, stands for "when actually
imployed." They are advisers who
ue called lo Washington for a day
ir a week or n month to work on I
particular problems. They are giv-!
'ti a per diem allowance to cov
v their expenses away from home.
The WOC get no government sa
lary. They continue on the pu roll
f their company. Ofien they are
SL'j.iNM) in SMi.Owl-a-year men who
nine to Washington to take jobs
lormally paying $1(1.001) to SI 1.000
Not IxMug willing to take these
salary reductions, even for six
months or a year, they are kepi
m private payrolls by their rom
Kilties, which donate their ser-
ices. I lie assignments are roMim
among various companies in the
p.iguul.ir industry by their trade
associations.
"These WOO g-M ttnvel expenses
mid pen diem allowances when
they ask for them. I he allowance
is $K a day. though there u nmv
a proposal m Congress to raise it
to $' a day. since the doesn't
cover Ihe eot of hotel living.

In Department of Commerce, the
1!) WOC now on the job arc al in
ihe Business and Defense Services
Administration. This is a succes
sor lo Ihe old National Production
Authority. I
HDSA, since the end of the Ko
rea fighting, has been cut down I
to a staff of about 450 govern- i
ment career people who today!
carry on the work and provide the
necessary continuity.
The WOC division administra
tors, fresh from the business
world, keep Ihe government from
fouling up civilian goods produc
tion while directing the available
supplies of iron, steel, copper and
aluminum into the muitibuuon-dol-
lar defense contracts.
None of these WOC ever makes
a policy decision. And whenever
an allocation is called for involv
ng Ihe company from which a
WOC official comes, he must blow
out of the case and let someone
else handle it.
I his latter angle is the particu
lar phase which a House Judiciary
Subcommittee under Kep. Emanu-
I Celler ID - NY1 isn't so sure
about and is looking into.

in Washington arc:

The affixing of time, dates and
holidays seems to have beer, a suc
cession of frustrations since the
beginning of time, according to the
Encyclopedia Britannica. I
The Egyptians noted that one
phase of tne star Sol his corres-
ponded closely with the rise of the
Nile, on which their agricultural
welfare depended. With understan
dable logic, they chose this as the
first day of fheir year and took
the period between two such ris
ings to form a unit of (ime.
The next step was to subdivide
the new unit, and twelve nominal
months of 30 days each gave 360
days, with the missing 5 days ad
ded on at the end under the name
ot "days additional to the year.''
With the star year being virtually
identical with the solar year, mea
suring about 365'i days, they did
not notice (hat the Sot his rose a
day later once every four years.
This error gradually put their ca
lendar out of gear with the solar
year, and consequently with the
seasons, to the extent of one day
every four years. Eventually, after
1,-lfiO solar years, known as the
Reason Offered
For Dark Water
The murky, foam-flecked condi
tion of the Deschutes river in the
Bend area today was believed due
to the recent release of water
from Crescent lake, for the Tum
a)o and North Unit projects.
A. E. Perry, Deschutes water-
master, points out that the Cres
cent lake storage, impounded
since work was started on the new
dam and outlet works at the lake
in early May, is flowing through a
temporary channel past the work
area, and is apparently being mud
died in the earthen detour.
About 250 second feet of water
is now flowing out of the lake into
Crescent creek and on to the Des-1
chutes channel. Only about 200
second feet of this flow is moving
past Bend, with about 50 second
feet being lost upriver, mainly in
the B?nham falls area.
Crescent lake drawdown will
continue for about two months.
when storage for the winter sea
son will be started.
Prospects are that there will be
little holdover storage in any of the
upper Deschutes reservoirs at the
end of the present crop season.

Brushings
Sothic Period, the calendrical New
Year's Day had worked right
around the seasons and had come
back to its correct place without
the Egyptians becoming aware ai
this absurdity.
This lack of observation leads to
the conclusion that all things work
out all right, if you give them
enough time. There's no use wor
rying about the future. It's just
like trying lo take a sharp- curve
in the highway before you get
there.
I have n hahit of thinking of
each month of the year In terms
of something Kpeclal that happens
then. For instance, .March in In
come tax month, July is vacation
and September Is the time when
I start ironing the Young Man's
T-shirts. Same way with days of
the week. Thursday Ik the day I
get weighed, Friday is when 1
wash my hair, and Sunday is tin
day I sleep lute.
The civil calendar of all Euro
pean countries has been borrowed
from the Romans. At the time of
Julius Caesar, the civil equinox
differed from the astronomical by
three months, so that the winter
months were carried back into au
tumn and the autumnal into sum
mer. Caesar abolished the use of
the lunar year and the extra mon
ths and regulated the civil year
entirely by the sun, filing the
length of the year at 36514 days.
He decreed that every fourth year
should have 366 days, Uie other
ears having 365.
Caesar was a pretty smart cook
ie, all right. But he was never
faced with the problem of divid
ing an evening into watching per
iods for three different television
stations.
Yesterday I read about a couple
who were getting a divorce after
61 years of married life. At least
they gave it a try.

Blood Program "
Real Bargain
For Recipients
Bv THOMAS 8TEBNBUWH. M-T.
Three bucks will bring you
thirty-live and maybe more, and
it's a sure-fire winning proposition.
Yes, sir! This sounds like a lot of '
hokum-pokum, but it's not. Most
neople believe you just don't Ret
something for nothing, and per
haps they are right. But I can ;
show you how you can gel a wnoie
lot for just a little bit, and be
lieve it or not. you can got u
when you need it most and leust
expect it.
I refer specifically to every pint
of blood furnished to the people ,
of Bend and Deschutes county hy
the blood program of the Amen- t
can Red Cross. That pint uf
blood that awaits you when you
need it (if the blood program is ;
supported and the quota is .
achieved) costs you just a little :
less than three dollars to have it ,
collected, processed and delivered '
to your local non-profit blood bank.
The same pine of blood if pro- ,
curred nfid processed by a profos- ;
sional blood bank or donor serv- ;
ice would cost you from $35 to $70, .
and sometimes more.
Yes, sir, no strings attached. .
There are big odds at stake. Not
only will three bring you thirty- .
five, but that three dollars may ',
save your life.
Know the facts about the Red
Cross blood program and visit the ;
bloodmobile Wednesday, Aug. 3, ut

answer In detail untrue churKea
made against the blood program, ;
and will explain hospital costs 111 ,
