FINANCING CIVIL DEFENSE
Marion county feels that a county-wide civil defense
organization is essential during this crisis of survival in
which the nation now finds itself. In fact, Marion county
has allotted $11,000 to cover expenses for the defense or
ganization for the next fiscal year.
But if the civil defense system has to be put into actual
operation one of these days in the present national emer
gency, the system will be only as strong as the sum total
of all of the various county civil defense systems.
In the case of Marion county, for instance, a disaster
here of unforeseen proportions would require the assist
ance of neighboring counties. And since Marion county
has been designated as one of the few critical target areas
in Oregon, there is interest in what the surrounding
counties are doing about preparing and developing the
fundamentals of a civil defense organization.
As Marion county has found out, a civil defense organ
ization costs money. There are expenses involved in set
ting up the various units throughout the county, and the
director has to have expense money, likewise. For any
county which might be trying to decide what to do, with
the deadline for budgets already almost here, Marion
county found that the early stages of setting up the or
ganization had to be covered by emergency funds. Since
it was questionable how much money would be needed
and since provision had not been made previously for in
clusion in the past budget, emergency funds did get the
organization underway. President Truman has already
declared the national emergency, so drawing on the emer
gency fund is fitting in name and need.
As the fiscal year rolls around in about 10 days,
the regions throughout the state will continue to in
tegrate their defense systems to the extent of funds allot
ted. It is, of course, hoped that there will never be any
need for actually putting the civil defense system into
operation because of a disaster, but if the need ever should
arise, the system must be in proper outline so it could
be put to the test of crisis.
THE IRAN OIL SEIZURE
The Iranian oil crisis reached its climax when Premier
Massadegh of Iran last night spurned British mediation
offers and issued orders for the government to take over
control of the billion dollar Anglo-Iranian Oil company at
Obadan which produces 30 million tons o oil annually.
Iranian production equals three-fifths of western Eu
rope's total annual consumption of oil. Besides supplying
part of the needs of both Europe and Asia, Iran is the chief
source of fuel oil for the British navy and any interference
with the flow of this oil might mean a slowing down of
western armament production and may lead to a rationing
of oil in the United States.
Government seizure reaches far beyond the Iranian-British
dispute and will probably affect the welfare of all na
tions and the future of international conduct, and is threre
fore of international importance. Russian influence is
blamed for the surge of fanatic nationalism in Iran and
it is perhaps part of the cold war waged by communists
against the west.
The Iranian parliament has given a vote of confidence
for the "no compromise" fight to drive the British com
pany out of Iran and mobs roam the streets of Tehran
smashing Anglo-American company signs and will prob
ably end up by smashing the oil plants, the main source
of revenue of the Iranian government for many years past.
Britain meantime has issued warning that she will pro
tect militarily the lives and property of Britons in Iran
and has appealed, to the United Nations' court of justice
at The Hague, for an injunction against seizure.
At present Iran seems ruled by the unreasoning mob
which always destroys but never creates. Iran hasn't the
technicians nor the "know how" required to run the oil in
dustry and is virtually destroying itself. The country
would bo far better off to acept a larger share of the
oil profits, than to permit Russia to operate without any
profit at all for Iran, but all for Russia, which has been
the case in all satellite countries.

DEFENSE BUYING ETHICS
The exposure by a, congressional committee of the
"absurd" armed services buying methods, revealed in the
fantastic ca.se of the Klvnir Corporation of Jackson and
Nachez, Miss., where two ex-convicts parlayed $1200 into
more than $3,214,000 in defense contracts, typifies the
reckless waste in defense contractinR.
The subcommittee, headed by Rop. Herbert (D., Ln.),
reported to the house that "none of these contracts have
been performed, except for ft limited portion of one of
them" and it said the company, tho Klvair Corp., never
had enough cash to carry out its commitments.
Herbert's "watchdog" subcommittee termed the whole
matter "fantastic." It said that at a time when Klvair
was awarded a $2,900,000 contract for army tank covers
it had only $170.08 on hand. The report, added the firm
anticipated a profit of $129,000 but that it probably would
have been "much more than that."
The report recommended that two inspectors in the
Birmingham ordnance district who checked one of the
contracts involved be discharged. It characterized the
district itself as "the most haphazard, naive and negligent
. . . thnt could be imagined."
The subcommittee said Elvair's first board of directors
included B. A. Totten, whose acquaintance with the firm's
nales manager, B. T. Jayno of Ponca, Okla., "flowered dur
ing the time both of them were in the El Reno (Okla.) pen

"haphazard, naive and negligent" in its investigation of
Elvair, which got four fat canvas goods contracts "without
money, plant or experience," but conceded the firm did not
