Asks County
To Paint House
Joseph M. Wagner, West
Church street, Mt. Angel, wants
Marion county to reintaurse him
for having to repaint his house
In a letter to the county court
he says that he painted his house
on Thursday, July 14. On Sat
urday, July 16, the county oil
ing crew came along and did
oiling work on the street in
front of his house. He says i
strong northwest wind was blow
ing with result that the sticky
oil was blown in a spray on the
newly painted surface of his
house and blemished it to such
an extent it is necessary to do
a new paint job. He says he
was unaware of the fact the road
was to be oiled, that no notice
was given him and and under
the circumstances he thinks he
should be reimbursed at least
$150 for the incident.
County court members are
taking the matter under consid
eration. They say that the crew
was probably doing the work in
side the city limits at the re
quest of the Mt. Angel city of
ficials and if so doubt whether
the county would be liable. They
also doubt whether the county
would be liable even if the work
was outside of the city and be
ing done at the instance of the
county.

Democracies Must Push
Ahead, Says Dr. Benes
By ROBERT LETTS JONES
Western democracies, led by the United States, must keep ad
vancing in the cold war, Dr. Bohus Benes, nephew of the late
president of Czechoslovakia, warned a Salem audience Wednesday
night. i
In the second of a series of local lectures, the visiting profes
Governor
(Continued irom raze i
He used those exact words,
explaining that it was his opin
ion that increased efficiency per
unit, rather than a cut in pay,
would give a department better
production records.
The governor told the group
that the great bulk of state em
ployes live up to the highest
ideals of public service.
"Many of our state employes,"
he said, "have worked for the
state for years and years at small
salaries, much less than they
could command in private in
dustry, because this type of
work is ideal with them.
Policy Meeting
(Continued from PastP I)
Such information as has come
out of the meetings indicates
that the subject is a complicated
one involving the sharing of
atomic information, raw materi
als, A-bombs themselves, and
atomic explosives produced in
this country.
Belief that American officials
might be considering the strat
egic wisdom of stocking a few of
the latest A-bomb models in Brit
ain has brought repercussions in
the senate.
Wherry's Demands
Senate Republican Leader
Kenneth S. Wherry (Neb.) yes
terday demanded assurance that
the North Atlantic Pact would
not obligate the United States to
share bombs with other treaty
nations.
Asked about Wherry's fears,
the president said the republican
leader had a lot of ungrounded
fears about the treaty.
McMahon assured the Nebras-
kan. however, that the treaty
carried no such commitment.
Some members of McMahon's
committee are, however, becom-
ing irked over the continued se
crecy. One said the people ought
to be told about what is, after
all, "the people's business."

Back in the nation's capital
the CAB July 19 received its
foifrth letter from Oregon's Rep
Walter Norblad, substantuating
his original protest of the pro
posed substitution of West Coast
service for that of UAL in Sa
lem. The original protest to the
CAB was made July 8.
Norblad's letter of July 19, to
the CAB, like the previous three
following the protest of July 6,
enclosed an excerpt from the
Congressional Record in which
the Oregon representative had
again drawn the attention of the
house of representatives to the
CAB proposal.
Norblad's Comment
Entitled "Operation of United
Air Lines at Salem, Oregon,"
under extension of remarks,
Norblad's comments in the Con
gressional Record of July 18
pointed to the increase of busi
ness in Salem for United Air
Lines.
Commenting that "the pro
posal of the Civil Aeronautics
Board to cancel the franchise of
United Air Lines to operate at
Salem, Oregon, seems more than
absurd when we examine the
large increase of business by
that air line in Salem since the
war," Rep. Norblad quoted fig
ures on the increase of passen
ger revenue, and air freight, ex
press and air mail handled
through the Salem station.
The figures wore taken from
the Capital Journal editorial of
July 14, entitled, Figures Con
tinue to Favor United," which
also was included in the Con
gressional Record of July 18.

Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon,
sor at Willamette university, pre
dicted Russia would retreat in
the face of such advances. He
pointed to the fear in the Krem
lin that the communist party
would be destroyed "from with
in" by the military if war came,
as ' Hitler almost was twice."
Dr. Benes cited the treaty of
Brest-Litovsk as an example of
how top bolsheviks woulcf re
treat and come to terms in or
der to keep control. The treaty
of Brest-Litovsk was signed in
early 1918 by the bolsheviks
with Kaiser Wilhelm's govern
ment and his allies. By the
treaty, the Russians gave up one-
fourth of their country, Dr.
Benes said.
It was his belief that diplo
matic advances by the western
democracies could be made
without necessarily bringing on
a third world war. A start to
ward pushing the Russians back
in the cold war was made with
the Marshall plan. Then there
was the Berlin airlift.
"You have added the Atlan
tic pact," he reminded his lis
teners who almost filled Waller
hall on the university campus
He foresaw similar pacts in the
acific and Mediterranean re
gions.
He quickly cautioned the
audience that he would not rule
out the possibility of another
war. "The Czech people pray
for war, but- they understand
that three world wars in one
century might destroy human
ity. They are patient. They know
they will be liberated."
In answer lo a question from
the floor, Dr. Benes dashed any
hope that people behind the
Iron Curtain might overthrow
tlie police regime without out

we have arms and help, we will
do the rest."

Bohus Benes' uncle, Dr. Ed
ward Benes, was not so optimis
tic about avoiding World War
III, he said. The late president
of Czechoslovakia predicted
that "if Stalin does not go back
behind his frontiers, a third
World War is inevitable. Stal
in's greediness will destroy
him.";
The visiting professor at Wil
lamette was outspoken on the
effect of . Russian domination of
his country in the past few
years. "If Czechoslovakia has
to be sacrificed again, let it be
a warning to those that co-op
eration is not possible with
gangsters.
Dr. Benes traced the effect of
Russian relations on Czechoslo
vakia. He told how his uncle
had tried to bridge the gap be
tween the east and west with a
"humanitarian democracy." This
was a mildly socialized form of
iovernment, he explained, and
was accepted by the western de
mocracies and by the Soviets
"But Moscow had other ideas,"
he added.
When the Czechs wanted to
participate in the Marshall plan,
"an order came immediately
from Moscow to refuse help we
had already accepted. Moscow
branded the Marshall plan as
democratic camouflage for im
perialistic aggression."
Then came the Red terror to
Czechoslovakia. The Czech army
had been disarmed, he said. Ac
cording to a military alliance
with Russia, the Czechs were not
permitted to build up the army
with their own weapons. The
army had to use Russian weap
ons. Dr. Benes accused the Rus
sians of murdering Jan Masaryk,
Czech leader and son of his
country!? first president. "Jan
Masaryk died in a horrible way
He was shot three times and
then thrown out of a win
dow." Communists said he had
committed suicide.
Benes said he believed, also,
that his uncle, Edward Benes,
was murdered lapt year by the
communists.
Bohus Benes will give his
third and final lecture in Waller
hall on August 3.
