Religion in Russia Although" the Russian constitution provides for free dom of religion, it is practically a dead letter, though restric tions have been lifted lately and the atheist organization dis banded. But there can be no freedom of religion in any total itarian country, for it is impossible to grant freedom of wor ship without granting freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assemblage. Religious liberty cannot exist with out civil liberty, and a totalitarian tyranny cannot exist with it. There is no more religious freedom in Russia than in Germany. Freedom of religion is synonymous with liberty. td i.u -j ...... i iniT 4.u .... .Deluxe me leu levuiuiiuu iu liiii, tiie Diuuttuiuij ui vi- jtuiu.eu reiiKiuu 111 ivuaam wua nut cuiupaiauie iu uitiL jii the United States or in Britain. Religion was a monopoly of the Greed Orthodox church, closely associated with the Czarist regime and supported its policy of repression toward liberal movement as well in its obscurantist ideals on popular education. The Foreign Policy association says: mis aoes not mean tnat tne nussian people were not religious. Cm the contrary, there was In Russia a deep-rooted feeling of mystl olsm which, at least In the older generation, has survived twenty years . of soviet propaganda and repression. The revolution of 1017 was directed primarily against Tsnrlsm. It assumed an antl-rellglous character largely because the Greek Orthoddox church seemed committed to per petuation of the Tsarist regime and of a system of private property which held out little hope of Improving the lot of Russian workers and peasants. To say that the soviet government which has proved more autocratic than the Tsars ha not yet satisfied the material needs of these workers and peasant Is not an answer to the problems ttiat pro voked the Bolshevik revolution. It may well be that, in the course of this war, the Russian people as distinguished from the small min ority of Bolsheviks who seized power in 1017 will find an opportunity to mold Russia's social and economic system closer to the western concept of democracy." Social Security Changes As a measure to curb inflation, the president proposes to extend social security coverage to another 40 million people in addition to the 40 million now covered, which would divert money from spending into the defense effort. But what would become of the security the act was supposed to provide ? The original security act is most complicated, intended to be a permanent feature instead of an emergency make shift. Any extension should be in such direction as expe rience has proven practical and requires careful planning, which the defense emergency renders impossible at the present time. The money contributed under payroll taxes for social security is not being kept in a fund to reimburse the con tributors, but is being spent by the government on general expenses, which assures the obligation to pay it when due. Under the astronomical expenses for defense social security contributions should be used for the original purpose and defense paid for as defense. imr"K the chn"Kcs. Proposed is the federalization of all the 51 unemployment insurance plans now in effect in the separate states and territories and administered by them, which would centralize all social securities adminis tration in a federal political bureau, with all the power en tailed and enforce security aims. All the problems involved require careful study by ex perts, a similar study to that which produced the original act, and not left to Social Security board itself, immersed in routine administration duties.

Yeah, with nothing much but gloom to look Into a week ago, the glasses now are pretty rose-colored. We were sorta handed a surprise today when one of our local can ners told us he was Just finishing up canning prunes, we thought this matter had been attended to by the wind and rain some weeks ago. But, it seems, these were eastern Oregon prunes having a last laugh on our good old valley. Anyway, they'll probably go out under a California label and nobody will know much difference. The government has sent out an urgent appeal to save paper and Bob Sawyer comes back at the gov ernment In his Bend Bulletin with a challenge to said government to do a little paper saving Itself and cut out 90 per cent of the bulletins, news releases and other wastage flooding the country. We doubt very much If the government will call Bob's challenge and the waste will still go on. One of the best places to clamp down on the priorities is right In old Washington, D. C, It self, especially In the matter of pa per. But, we're afraid Bob, your challenge Is like trying to hold the Deschutes river back with your foot.

Kelly Says: CCC for Rejected Men Now Proposed Little Done to Build American Physiques Air Corps Watches for Eastern Oregon Sites By John W. Kelly Washington, Oct. 13. As CCC camps are being closed In the northwest because of inability to find young men as enrollees while private Industry and the draft are offering better pay, a suggestion Is under consideration to use the camps for men rejected for physi cal defects by draft board physi cians. Such a proceeding would involve action by congress, legisla tion which would compel the rejects to enter the camps and carry on the work which the CCO program has been following. Tne proposal has been put on the desk of Presi dent Roosevelt and, as a general principle, the chief executive fa vors it favors building up the health of the rejects In the out doors. Statistics on the selectees in the northwest disclose an unexpeoted number of young men who could not pass the rigid physical test of the army physicians. Most of these have minor defects which could easily be remedied, but no provi sion was made to rehabilitate the men. The defect was sufficient to make them unfit for the hard life of a soldier. Hundreds of young men looked like good soldier material until they were tossed out. MacFadden Rejected It Is now dawning on the admin istration that something should be done. Too many Americans do not measure up, due to malnutrition, lack of exercise or something. Be fore the draft bill was enacted a physical culturlst, Bernarr MacFad den, visited the offices of northwest senators and proposed organizing physical culture classes in every state, in every county, as a method of making Americans fit. He suggested inter-state contests and a national tournament. The Idea followed the plan adopted by the Germans in preparing for war. The senators grinned at the idea; did nothing. From the senate of fice building MacFadden sought support from the White House, with little more success, dene Tunney was commissioned to condition the troops, but there was nothing done to aid the civilians. Money Turned Back It is so difficult to recruit the CCO that several million dollars appropriated for the current fiscal year will have to be returned to the treasury, a most unheard of pro ceeding. From more than 2,500 camps CCO has been reduced to several hundred. The reduction In both Washington and Oregon has been drastic; how long the remain ing camps In these states will re main Is undecided. It Is possible that next year will see the end of the CCC, or only a few camps with a skeleton enrollment to work on reclamation projects or In the for ests. As the camps are closed they are arranged for reopening at some future date when they may be re quired (possibly In the next depres sion). With the closed camps ready for reoccupancy, It Is being argued that the physical rejects from the draft should be sent there and given a course of calesthenlcs, and some outdoor labor with a balanced diet. While rejects may not be good enough for the army they are sat isfactory in defense industries and can and do draw a fat pay enve lope (social security tax of 1 per cent deducted), and having been called and discarded for a hitch as a soldier they are not Inclined to enter a CCO camp. The only' way they can be forced into camp is by amendment of the draft act.

In his veto message the president disapproved of the bill be cause much of the appropriation would go into states which have no pressing military roads needs. The intended purpose of the bill was to provide funds for the construction of roads which are vital to military movements, but by the time the Inland congressmen arranged the bill help their respective states there was very little for the northwest. In a revised bill northwest mem bers will Insist that the Pacific highway, which runs through both states, be given several million dol lars, if possible, to remove bottle necks. The road matter has been slumbering because so many mem bers of the house have been back home during the hot weather (it was 86 degrees in the capital city last week) that there were not enough here to do business. Foggy Fields Not Liked Army air corps is discovering that fog conditions are prevalent at some of the airports of the northwest and there Is a disposition to establish fields which are comparatively free of fog. Once more they are look ing over the area east of the Cas cades, and decision on additional sites (existing ones will not be aban doned) is expected to be announced during the coming winter. There is so much dissatisfaction with priority ratings that Donald Nelson may order allocation of ma terials Instead. This is considered as one of the best methods of sav ing small business from extinction. Bandits Hunted For Car Theft And Kidnaping Seattle, Oct. 13 (flV-An ex-convict and his companion, Identified as the pair who stole an automo bile here Saturday night, abducted the owner's 15-year-old son and wrecked the machine near Rlverton, injuring the son, were widely sought over the northwest today. One of them was traced to a bus terminal here where, his face scratched and hia clothing torn, he was seen boarding another bus. The abducted youth was Jack Grable, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

A 19-year-old Spokane girl and a 21-year-old Seattle man, who were found stunned in the back seat of the wrecked car, were heldwith out charge for questioning. They said they met the two men in a south end tavern Saturday night and the two offered to drive them to Portland. The men en tered Grable's automobile, which was parked nearby with arable's son in It, and compelled the boy to accompany them. A wild ride ended when the car hit a pole near Rlverton. The ex-convict and his friend fled. They flagged a passing auto mobile and ordered the driver, at pistol point, to take them to Port land, the state patrol reported. The driver refused, but told them to take the car. The driver than ran from the car and the two men, frightened, also fled.
