Col. Robert G. Emmons, who was co pilot of one of the planes in the famous Doolittle bombing of Tokyo in 1942. Shortage of gas compelled the fliers to land in Siberia, taking a chance that because Russia was an ally of the U.S. in World War II, they would be welcomed and supplied with gas to reach Chungking, their destination. Instead, they were interned, virtually prisoners, because Russia had not declared war on Japan. They were shipped 8000 miles to various parts and climates of Russia and refused explanations. One year and a month later, they made an exciting and dramatic escape from Ashkab into Iran. What they saw and experienced makes a revealing story of Russia and the Russians. Emmons saw a slave-nation "ruled by abject fear and terror," a nation kept in complete ignorance of world af fairs, whose "borders are closed to outsiders and outside things." He saw absymal poverty among civilians, and lux ury among the favored few and warns of the growing men ace of communism. He describes the ride across Russia on the Trans-Siberian railroad as follows: "The trip too 21 days . . . everyone we saw, on and off the train, was in rags. In stations, we were never allowed off the train but many, many beggars would beg for a crust of bread through our windows. Everyone, literally everyone, In every station we passed, seemed to be a pauper. Old and young women alike, old men. children, and even the stray dogs seemed to sort of hump alony n a peculiar shuffle, ever mindful of the possi bilities of getting a piece of bread. The children were the most impressive. Bands of them dressed in absolute tatters, no shoes, and covered with filth roved the railroad station area and beg ged for food. Many times we saw station guards always armed with gun and stick, swing ruthlessly on people obstructing or gathered arount a car window. (The Americans were disciplin ed for trying to share their bread with any of the children). This "land of milk and honey," this Utopia of the worker wasn't what Emmons had read about in America, "a great land where all have a chance to live in equality, free from oppression, fear and intimidation," but the contrary, "a fanatical unbelievable condition of life that so many million people could exist and still not be the subject of publicized revulsion by the rest of the world." He concludes : "In actual nractice as we observed in the heart of communism Itself, there was none of the working together for the common good of all. There was only filth and dirt and misery and pov erty. There wasn't any common good. Everybody lived in fear and terror Everybody, no one was unaffected. Life In all its aspects was ugly. Certainly the Soviet Union has trees, grass, the moon and sunshine there and stars come out, but everything connected with humanity is ugly, sordid and a per versity of human nature. . . . Yet communism, like a malignant scab on the skin of the world, is spreading north, south, east and west. FU5HT IT!" This graphic book is unusually interesting to Oregonians because Col. Emmons was born in Medford, attended Med ford high school and the University of Oregon, trained as a flier at Randolph field and joined the air force in 1938. After his internment he returned to the United States via India, Africa and South America, completing a circle of the globe. In 1944 he saw service in Rumania and other sections of Europe with the allied control commission, re turning to the United States in 1948 and is on active duty in the Pentagon. Franzen's 'Package' Development Program What is the best way to develop Salem so as to meet the needs of a growing city? City Manager Franzen has come up with his answer to this question. Ho has put his answer in the form of a 10 year development program. His program would lay out the needs of the city for the period from 1950 to 1960 ac cording to projects of the departments. Then every two years at the primary elections, the people would decide whether or not to approve the over-all development for the next two fiscal years. The basic value of this idea lies in the "pay-as-you-go" feature. Instead of a separate bond issue spread over a long period of time for each project, the manager would lump all city needs into one program for the next two-year period. It vnuld be "a package program." liefore it got to the voters, the city council would have argued the points and the projects offered. The resulting decision of the council then would be presented to the voters for apnroval or disapproval. The cost to the indi vidual taxpayer would be clearly stated, so he would know what the estimates for civic development would amount to. For instance, the park program would be considered for all parts of the city. A reasonable development of those parks would be estimated as to cost. Then that cost would be checked with funds available for the department. If estimates were greater than funds available, then the dif ference would be added to the development program to be submitted for the voters' consideration. Airport development and sewage disposal and all the other development problems would be incorporated into that one "package program." Each department's proj ects would be taken up separately and then put into the two-year program. The responsibility for judging what would be feasible and reasonable for any two-year period would start with the city manager, in J. L. Franzen, that responsibility should be able to be placed with confidence, judging his record here in Salem. Hot ween Franzen and the city coun cil, the "frilla" of the projects could be eliminated. Then the voters would know before the May primary in the even numbered years what the cost would bo for a growing Sal"m.

GEORGE H. SWIFT Rhetor St Paul'i RplnrnD.l Church Armistice day brings to our minds the age-old longing for universal and permanent peace.

As long as our love for others, and others love for us is as pitifully weak as it obviously is, we must, for survival, tem porarily resort to other means. We have two ways to do this.

Vt ' Ringleader of-'-- the impeach ment move is Congressman Ralph Gwinn, New York repub lican, with an assist from Gene Cox, the Georgia Dixiecrat. Specifically, the secret resolu tion charges President Truman with "nonfeasance" of office. It is alleged that he neglected the economic welfare of all the peo ple in order to help a tightly or ganized minority the labor un ions. The resolution further points out that the president could have prevented "economic disaster" by invoking the Taft-Hartley act. This constitutes neglect of duty, the resolution charges. Now that the steel strike is being settled, the wind has been taken out of the impeachment plan, but it may still be revived in case John L. Lewis's coal strike gets worse. NOTE 1 Should the resolu tion ever reach the floor of the house of representatives, it would stand almost no chance of approval.
