Rain Ends Long
Drought in East
(By the Assoclfltod Preajt)
Rains in a slow easy fall
"just the type the fields need
ed" refreshed the parched
northeastern states today, and
in some sections brought an end
to a 50-day dry spell.
The forecasters promised
more relief today, wun a pre
diction of showers again tonight
and possibly tomorrow.
However, agricultural author
ities believed that the rainfall
came too late to avert multi-million
dollar crop losses.
Many sections of New Eng
land were refreshed by a rain
fall that may reach half an inch
in the southern section. The
district forecaster at Boston said
the rain would end this after
noon. A University of Massa
chusetts professor said the rain
was two days too late, and that
crop losses in XNew Jingiana
could approximate $30,000,000
to $40,000,000. He described
the situation in the Connecticut
valley as the worst in his 28
years' experience.

Forrest L. Cooper, Oregon at

Montana relative to the CVA
advises that the senate commit
tee on public works at Washing
ton has granted the request of

ing on the taxation aspects of
the bill providing for the CVA

grave situation should the leg
islation be enacted.
He says county government,
which he represents in taxation
matters In all of the western
states except New Mexico and
southern California, is not tak
ing sides on the CVA bill but
that it is vitally interested in
what may happen 'to revenues
of local government of present
sources of revenue are directly
or indirectly disturbed.
He cites that not only is coun
ty taxation threatened, but the
school taxation, welfare funds
and all local governmental func
tions.

Benes Talks on
World Politics
That communism and democ
racy cannot both survive in the
same world and that "it is up to
you to determine which will go
down," was the warning issued
Wednesday noon by Dr. Bohus
Benes, visiting professor at Wil
lamette university as he endea
vored to compress into a 30
minute address a diagnosis of
European politics. He spoke be
fore the Salem Rotary club.
Beginning with the early ex
periences of his native land,
Czechoslovakia which he de
scribed as the "happiest democ
racy in Europe" following the
first World War, Dr. Benes de
scribed how his country had
been 'sold down the river"
first by the western powers and
later by Russian communism.
The Czech democracy, built
upon a pattern of the constitu
tion of the United States, result
ed In a contented country, the
speaker said. Then came the
Chamberlain incident and the
march into the country of Ger
man armed might. He accused
the former British premier of
being totally ignorant of Euro
pean politics and entanglement
and said that it. was not Stalin
who bplsheviz'ed Czechoslo
vakia. "It was the failure of
western leadership to face in a
realistic manner the situation
that existed."
The Marshall plan was de
scribed as the "most fantastic
and the most successful" one
ever broached. "It will cost
you money but will save your
blood," he commented. He urg
ed the world powers to plan for
the future, perhaps a Mediter
ranean plan pact will be neces
sary to go along with the North
Atlantic pact.
Dr. Benes said he would ex
pand the subject of todays ad
dress during a lecture he will
give on the Willamette campus
the night of July 20 to which
the public is invited.
