Good Suggestion
"" AlthouRh thore are times upparently particularly
afpund Senatorial election time when we are forced
to,,dinarce with the Oregon Yoiinjr Democrat organiza
tion, the group adopted a resolution at their Pendleton
convention four months ago which makes sense.
As reported in the recently-received AuKust issue of
Ihe Oregon Democrat, the young branch of the party
faithful resolved as follows:
, f "We favor the immediate erection of a bi-partisan
commission to study the reorganization of the structure
aud administration of Oregon state government. There
lire now over 100 separate Btate boards and commissions
appointed by the Governor with ovedlapping and conflict
ing functions. The number of these agencies is increasing
.Without planning and without coordination resulting in
inefficiency, confusion and waste of taxpayer's money."
J.Ci'ir political science major studying government or-
This problem is not peculiar to Oregon. Any first-
flnnization can show you dozens of examples in any state,
Jiiiy large city or the federal government. A thorough
study turns up some real beauties.
It arises because legislatures form these boards and
iciimmissions, usually as the result of heat turned on their
,nienibers by various pressure groups.
! A study such as is called for in the resolution could
Jvery well be made every five to ten years, and we can
guarantee there would be plenty to study, even on a
Sustained yield basis.
Father's Den
! Father is hoping that those new bedrooms get fin
ished in time to make those switches in where the mem
tiurs of the family sleep before the fourth daughter is
brought home from the hospital. At the present, though,
lie is just about convinced that his den will have a new'
jlenizen.
'Important Study
J The University of Oregon School of I'.usiness Ad
ministration is starting on a study of the effect of free
ways on the communities they by-pass. The survey is
Wing done under the terms of a contract approved by
J.hc legislative highway interim committee.
The study will distinguish between by-passes from
Jvhich the community can lie seen "anil by-passes which
aire so far from the community it' cannot be seen. An
important phase of this survey will be the problem of
liccess.
j Included will be a study of typos of business firms
adversely affected immediately upon opening of a by
jiass and types of business benefitted by by-passes.
J The proposal placed before the interim committee
was to choose four to six well-informed community lead
ers in each town by-passed. These might include a city
official, a banker, a newspaper publisher, chamber of
I'ommorco president, and a realtor.
. It is high time for such a study. There probably is
Jess information and more misinformation about
Jiighway and parking problems than any other subject
around which there is so much community discussion.
Apparently a lot of people make no effort whatsoever
Jo learn anything about the subject under discussion be
fore they begin to pop off.
r Widespread dissemination of the results of such a
Vtudy could go far in removing some of the haze of mis
understanding which generally envelopes any tliscusion
;f freeways.

all the facts of the tangled post
armistice situation in Korea arc
added up, it tins to lie admitted
that the United Nations and Hie
United States have no positive pro-
grain to make a firm peace in
this area.
There is no apparent course for
shaking off the shackles which
now hold U.S. military forces on
the Korean peninsula. There is a
strong fear that this .situation will
have to be lived with for years.
It is a second cold-war front.
The Communists appear content
lo leave things in this unseUhvi
condition. Intelligence reports giv
no indication the. Keds want t
start the Korean war again.
1'he Chinese have withdrawn
ground troops (mm North Korea,
just as the United States h;is cut
down its forces in South Korea
The Chinese withdrew HO.tXW troops
after Ihe armistice was signed two
years ago.
No announcements were made
on Ihe first withdrawals. Then the
Chinese started to announce their
"volunteers" return home, and
made propaganda of their peace
ful intent.
While doing this, the Commu
nists lcgm building up the Nor'h
Korean air readiness, in open vio
lation of the cease-fire agreement
Kor the first time since the Korean
fighting ln'gan in YJjQ, U.N. forces;
are now challenged for air super
iority over both land and sea.
The United Nations got euchered
into a h;id deal in the Korean Ar
mistice in that it made no mention
of and established no bans against
rebuilding airfields by either side.
Tho southern airfields wen in
tact, because the Ked bombers
never got south of the battle lines.
Hut airfields in the norlh had been
clobbered. Now all have been re
built. I
It isn't necessary to have planes!
on them, lor planes can be hopped I
in from north of the Yalu on short
notice. Whenever U.N. ivconnais
s;tnec has spotted Red aircraft en
North Korea's rebuilt fields, and
protests have been lodged, Ihe
Communists: have flown out before
inspection teams could get there.
It is ghost strength of great valu.;.

U.S. could have used more, but j
