Salem, Oregon, Saturday, February 21, 1953 REPUDIATING YALTA PACT In comDliance with a Dromise made in his State of the Nation address, President auested coneress to join Him tional agreements, which "have been perverted to bring ' about the subjugation of free peoples." He submitted a 1 draft resolution and urged its adoption by House and . Senate. , The joint resolution draft "Join with the oreildent In rejects any interpretations or agreements or understandings, War II, which have been perverted 10 onng sdoui ue suDjuga- tion of free peoples, and further ' ' "Join in proclarnlng the hope that the peoples who have been ubiected to the cantivitv of Soviet despotism shall again enjoy the right of self-determination : sustain toe peace; tnat tney snail again nave me rigm 10 cnoose the form of government under which they will live, and that sovereign rights of self-government shall be restored to them all in accordance with the pledge ot the Atlantic charter negotiated in iHi," In accompanying letters to Vice President Nixon, pre siding officer of the Senate, and to House Speaker Joseph Martin, Eisenhower recalled that in his State of the XJnoin message on February 2 he annouced he would ask congress later to make such a pronouncement In his State of the Union address the president said the resolution should make "it clear that we would never acqui esce in the enslavement of any people in order to purchase fancied gain for ouraelves." The draft resolution was sent to the Senate Foreign Re lations committee, and will be referred to a special sub committee for general study by Chairman Wiley next week. The proposal was favorably received in congress, the principal criticism is that it did not go far enough, in re . nouncing Russian violations of the pacts, against which former President Truman and ex-Secretary of State Ache eon had frequently denounced. . Some republicans expressed disappointment that the proffered resolution did not repudiate outright such agree ments as those of Yalta and Potsdam, which the GOP high command had demanded in the election campaign. Pos sibly the resolution may be so amended by congress before passage. The Yalta pact in particular, has been harshly criticized for those provisions restoring to Russia southern Sakhalin and dominant interests in the northern China ports of Dairen, Port Arthur, the Manchurian railroads and the Kurile islands. This was the price paid for the Soviets entering the war against Japan at the last moment after the Americans had practically won it three months after Hitler had been defeated. . The Yalta pact, it has been claimed, really opened the door to communist conquest of China and the Korean war, As far a Soviet Russia is concerned, the Kremlin never lived up to any of its agreements, including those of the United Nations, which the communists have done their best to sabotage. There has never been any question of Russia's "interpretation" to foster aggression. . PASSING OF BLAINE McCORD In the unexpected passing of Blaine McCord of Wood burn, the state has lost a valuable member of the bar, Woodburn has sustained a loss of a valuable citizen, and Oregon's legislature is without one of its most valuable members of its organization. For more thas 20 years McCord, as chief clerk of the .; rules committee, has drafted bills, scanned proposed laws offered for introduction, discovered many errors or omis sions, and in addition served as a valuable adviser to legis lators. - Although his long service, which dates back to the early 208 was in the house, members of the state senate found his advice extremely valuable and as Senator Howard Belton of Clackamas county said Saturday on learing of the sudden death of McCord, "His passing is a loss to the legislature that will be extremely difficult to overcome." In his many years of practice of the law, McCord took an active part in the Oregon State Bar and at the time of his death was a member of the board of governors of the bar. He drew up the bill that made the Oregon State Bar an official state organization, to which all who are admitted to practice in this state must belong. "- His familiar face, his readiness to aid any legislature faced with a problem, will be sorely missed. There was probably no single person in the legislative organization whose work was more important and who despite his heavy duties never lost the charm which won him friends through out the state of Oregon.

That puts me well into my second childhood on my 42nd birthday. What nonsense! Life doesn't begin at 40. And most people never go through a second chll hood because they never really outgrow the first one. Reaching 42 is certainly no special occasion. It's been done before. Usually on birthdays I just lie in bed aU day with the covers pulled over my head, en joying a mild fever of regret at having become a year older. Not this year. I don't mind it at all. Let the barnacles gather. Who cares? The best thing in the world is to be 21, happy with a new love and a new job, and able to vote. You are about as wise and free and rebellious and hon est as you will ever be. You will never be as certain about so many things again. It is as close as you will probably ever come to being a true adult. The worst thing in the world THE FIRESIDE PULPIT Children Should Be Treated Like Members of the Family BY REV. GEORGE H. SWIFT . Racier, St. pt.r KpUcopal Church I do pot pose as an authority on the proper way to bring up children, because I am not a bachelor child psychologist. But In view of the fact that so much is written which would lead us to believe that children are more or less ot a nuisance, usually getting into trouble, and often ending up in what we love to refer to as juvenile delinquency I was relieved to read a different viewpoint, on the subject by an author named Peter Day. Peter Day says, "Children have a great many contributions to make to the health and wel fare of the adult world. With proper management, they can be trained to do the dishes, shovel snow, get fire wood, hold a pinochle hand, and even kiss you when you come in the door. Theirs toys offer many hours of amusement to an unspoiled par ent, especially if the parent is careful to buy noive toy too complicated for the child to play with alone " Salem 60 Years Ago By BEN February 21, 1893 -Friends Polytechnic school In the Highland addition, opened September 13, 1892, now offers courses in civil and electrical engineering.

That's downright pitiful. You see before you the inescapable corral of middle age, and behind you the lost pastures of youth. What a fear ful lever of time, what a hate ful teeter-totter, is a man's 39th birthday! Every fellow who survives that one ought to get a gold watch and a letter of congratulations from the mayor. But 42 is Just another niche in your personal history. rather pleasant ledge on which to rest and count your scars as you survey the lengthening past and the shortening future. At 21 nothing you do is really a mistake it is only an adven ture of one kind or another. At 42 you figure that anything you do will be more of a compromise than a discovery. Instead of finding a new color in the rain bow you marvel how the world can contain so many shades of gray. After 40 you don t attack a problem by trying for a knock out blow. ..You concentrate on infighting. And in almost any argument at home or abroad you are satisfied with a draw. In the field of religion, child ren are a great help too. In many cafes they make the parents get up Sunday mornings, so that the whole family gets to church or Sunday school. In some instances the children get Dad to say grace before meals, They become mama's and papa's little help ers" in matters religious as well as in the daily chores. Probably, as Peter Day sua gests, we have been running around getting experts to tell us how to do this and how to do that for the children, and how to "build the home around their dear little unfolding personali ties." As a matter or fact, even the experts themselves seem to be getting around to telling us now what our grandparents knew and practised all the time, that the child does not belong in a hot house atmosphere, un real unnatural, but rather should be treated as one of the family, whose rights, interests, duties, frustrations and aspirations have to fit in with everbody elses.

II r ef the top, first-cernu orators REftCfHARLfS Allen Tom Childhood At 42 you don't mind so much that teen-agers regard you as a dinosaur. You feel they may be right. You can hear your bones creak now and then, and wonder if they can, too. You begin to think that even the flaws in your wife are vir tues, because you have known them so long. You also give up trying to correct the imperfec tions of your boss. If an old en emy dies, it leaves a hole in your life. It is sad to lose an enemy after 40 you have so few left. At 42 there is only one thing you really hate being taken for granted. The doss knows you probably will now stick with the firm until they hand you the final bag of oats at 85, and he knows that you know that he knows. It's kind of galling, too, to tell your wife, "There's a pretty new blonde at the office," and have her reply, "So who cares?" She used to care in the years before she was sure that she would be your widow. Your sins don't eatch up with you at 42. They have already paed you by, chasing a younger fellow. At 42, as your forehead rises and frost thickens at the tern plaes, you have a quiet passion for this disturbing old world as it is, and want to keep it un changed like a mother who cherishes every freckle on a wayward son. For when any part oi your world goes at 42, part of you goes, too.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Ike's Handy With the Paintbrush, Too .Washlgton Congressional leaders who lunched with Presi dent Eisenhower the other day found him a warn-hearted host equally gracious to Democrats and Republicans, but also an artist who swings quite a paintbrush. Political protocol was forgot ten at the luncheon of soup, whitefish, paxsleyed potatoes. green salad, coffee, strawberry ice cream and coconut cupcakes. Ike put two Democrats at the places of honor. Congressman Clarence Cannon of Missouri at his right and Congressman Carl Vinson of Georgia directly across the table. , The meal was topped off with Mavana cigars, after which Ike invited his well-ted guests to tour the White House "so you fellows who appropriated the money for remodeling my nsw home can see it was spent" "I think you will agree that the White House has been made a lot more livable," said the president, "but I am particular ly pleased that the big job of rebuilding was done without any material changes in outline or architecture." "JFTankly. Mr. President," observed Democratic Congress- I man DingeU of Detroit, "the Democrats at least didn t expect the White House-would have to accommodate a herd ot elephants when congress provided money tor the remodeling. But I'm glad we made the floors strong enough to support elephants as well as pianos." "The elephants around here are light on their feet," grinned Ike. As the guests filed by paint ings of ex-presidents, GOP Rep. Clarence Brown of Ohio sudden ly remarked: "There's Garfield, who was a former member of congress. Poor fellow. He was shot when he got to the White House." "Don't worry," reassured Ike. "You fellows are safe here with me." "It's nice to look! at all these old pictures, but hoW about let ting us see some of your own handiwork with the brush and easel," suggested DingeU. "I hear your latest portrait of Bobby Jones, the famous Golfer, is a real work of art" Pleased as punch, the presi dent ordered the still unframed painting brought down from up stairs and set tip in the east room. The congressmen agreed it was a good likeness. Ike him self agreed Jones protrait was "probably the best" of about 30 paintings he has done, but added that it was't quite finished needed some retouching and reshadowing. ' or Leave Korea in China. At that time England controlled about eighty percent ot it. If Chiang had won he would have taken over. ' While we aided Chiang, England aided the Reds. To continue the war as the Truman administration was carrying lton, it could last forever if the money and men held out. i As the saying goes, I don't like to play cards with' a stacked deck. We should either go in to win, or get out because all countries in the world have lost confidence in us, the way the Korean affair has been carried out Men knowing how to fight a war should be either let go, or bring them all home. - CO.

Cur rey, an attorney representing some 40 Indian Tribes and com munities, threatened libel suits against this column and various subscribing newspapers after I had exposed some of his opera tions as the alleged defender of "Lo. the Poor Indian.". Mr. Curry engaged In several thousands of words of corresp ondence threatening newspapers and me. Last week, however, the Senate Interior' Committee ad' dressed a letter to new Attorney General Herbert Brownell, ask' tag that the justice department consider the case of Mr. Curry's extracurricular activities. The senate committee sent the attor ney general a copy ot its own report which stated that Curry had: "Misled the Indians, impro perly solicited their claims, assumed legal responsibilities which he could not possible fulfill, and bartered for his own gain the valuable claims which the Indians had entrusted to his professional care. .
