; COMPULSION NOT DEMOCRACY
The Oregon senate has voted 21 to 9 for the socalled
' civil rights bill making it illegal for any motor court, res.
taurant, hotel, tavern or amusement place to refuse serv
ice to anybody because of race or religion. Persons who
: are discriminated against could sue for up to $500 dam
age. . An attempt to make it more strict was rejected and
apply it also to barber shops, apartment houses and rented
homes was rejected, as was an attempt to refer the bill to
the ceoDle to decide such far-reaching legislation.
The bill is therefore class legislation applying only to
' certain businesses and not to others, and therefore is dis
criminatory and not equality before the law. - Further
more, while it may be another "noble experiment," like
prohibition to make people good by compulsion, resent-
ment of the law will probably make it a failure also.
Oregon has had for the past four years a fair labor
law eliminating and prohibiting discrimination because of
. race, color, religion or national origin in employment and
, lor two years against discrimination in trade schools,
but most employers maintain their supposed constitu
tional right to employ those they desire. And the law is
I easily evaded as are all such measures.
Such laws are no more a part of democracy than the
, compulsory regimentation practiced against racial and
religious minorities by the nazis and communists. It is
a revival of the same sort of discrimination. They are
; unnecessary in Oregon because both racial and religious
prejudices are on the wane. It is just as undemocratic
' to force the employment of groups as it is to forbid their
employment. .Both are losses of freedom. It is just
as undemocratic to force emplpyment of those undesired
on the employer as it is to ban it.

EXPANSION OF SALEM FIRM
Probably Salem needs nothing of an economic char.
acter so much as industrial expansion, so the announce-
: ment yesterday that the Moore Business Forms company
will double its already large plant here , was extremely
welcome. . .
This company located in Salem in 1948 after a care.
i ful investigation. It could have located in almost any city
of California, Oregon or Washington, but it came here.
' Since then the results have exceeded expectations and
now 20,000 square feet of floor space are to be added,
with a corresponding increase in production, payrolls and
use of paper from the local mill.
The company vice-president who made the announce.
ment spoke in glowing terms of the conditions the com
pany had found here. He credited the Chamber of Com
merce with securing the plant in the first place and of
continued cooperation beyond anything that could rea
sonably be expected. And this official knows what to ex
pect from a chamber of commerce, for he is president of
tne chamber in his home town, of Oakland, Calif.
Here is an Indication of how Salem can grow: Secure
plants that can be economically operated here, then sup
port tnem ana neip tnem to expand. There is much fur
ther opportunity along- this line. .
THE GREAT DAY FOR THE IRISH
This is the one day of the year when we millions of
non-irish are just a bit jealous. We bear up courageously
the other 864 ; in fact most of the time we aren't conscious
of what we miss.
But on St. Patrick's day the Irish really bloom, for
they've a holiday none of the other numerous national
' croups that make up America's population have, and it's
a grand one, made so by its traditional celebration in
which the rest of us join at a respectful distance, by wear
ing of a bit of green.
The Irish people have a tremendous asset in their
patron saint who lived so many years ago and who as
we recall was not himself Irish, though he made Ireland
his home as so many of his countrymen have made Amer-
' ica their home. . . ....
The celebration, whose chief center of interest is the
tremendous parade down Fifth avenue in New York,
keeps alive the precious memories of the Emerald Land
across the sea and adds a note of gayety to the lives of
all of ub.

It's Different if You're

is it
New York m What
to be Irish?
On 364 days of the year be
ing Irish isn't visibly different
from being Scotch, , French,
Italian, Jewish, Serbian, Dutch,
or-yes-even English.
The Irishman pays his bills,
complains against his taxes,
does his work, and listens to
his wife like the man of any
other race.
But on this one day of the
year Holy St. Patrick's Day
the Irishman becomes an
Irishman.
And on this day you have to
be Irish to know what It is to
be Irish.
The outer signs, of course,
can be seen by all. The Irish.
man overnight, grows a foot
taller and stalks the earth
giant. All traffic lights turn
green before him, and If thy
don't he sees red.
But this air of majesty
only token evidence of interior
change. The men of other
races who envy the Irishman
his bearing on St. Patrick's
Day would envy him far more
if he could look inside the
Irishman's soul. .
What is it to be Irish?
How can you put the won
der of it into words? If
psychiatrist stretched himself
out on his own warm couch
after his last customer . had
gone home, and he dreamed of
the man he himself would
most like to be well, he
might be perfect, but he'd still
be only half an Irishman on St
Patrick's Day.
What is it to be Irish?
It is to have an angel in your
mouth, turning your prose to
poetry. It is to have the gift
of tongues, to know the lan
guage of all living things. Does
an Irishman pause and turn an
ear to a tree? It is because on
this day he wants to hear what
one sleepy pud says to another
as it opens its pale green hands
to the warm sun of spring.
What is it to be Irish?
Oh, on this day it is Music.
Not just the cornet In the pa
rading high school band, but
the deep, deep music of living,
the low, sad rhythms of eter-
ity. The Irishman hears the
high song of the turning

the endless hurt of his ances

Ike Initiates Move to

New York VP) The New

President Eisenhower has in
structed Secretary of State
Dulles to talk with congres
sional leaders about the possl
bility of amending the McCar-ran-Walter
Immigration Act.
The Times, in a dispatch
from James Reston in Wash
ington, said it is understood
that Eisenhower and Dulles
discussed the act at the White
House several days ago.
Since that time, the Times
added, the question of amend
ment has been under study in
the State and Justice Departments.

Washington Though the
most publicized part of An
thonv Eden's visit was econom
ic, the most significant part was
an attempt to tone down what
the British regard as our dan
gerous policy in the Far East
The British foreign minister
was not too happy with the re
sult. He feels that Elsenhower's
advisers are intent on doing
something in the Far East Just
for the sake ef doing; that they
are placing last fall's campaign
pledges ahead of International
safety; and that If the Russians
are pushed too hard, especially
since Stalin's death, we'll "in
cident" ourselves into war.
A few more incidents such as
the shooting down of U. S. -British
planes over Germany,
the British feel, will either
make us lose complete face
with with our allies or event
ually arouse popular demand
for retaliatory action. Either is
dangerous.
Eden's view is shared by
many career advisers in me
state department. They feel that
recent Russian air bullying has
been a deliberate warning that
two can play at the game of
"get tough," and that if we get
tough in the Far East, Russia
can get even tougher in Europe.
And if there's too much playing
at this game, they advise, the
eventual result is war.
Tax Laughs

from unhappy taxpayers flood

around March 15 ... as usual,
there were indignant, tongue-in-check
letter from Irish-
Americans that the annual in
come tax gouge was a "British
plot" to spoil the celebration of
St. Patrick's Day . . . also the
usual query regarding surtaxes.
A lady in New York wrote: "Do
women have to pay that 'sir'
tax?" ... A Kansan, filling out
a joint return, told his tax col
lector he didn't have a spouse,
but was "happily married to a
wife. ' . .' . A sardonic Texan
wrote: "The difference between
death and taxes is that death

A Baltimorean with 14 children
described himself in his tax re
turn as a "production man

plused by an elderly woman
who reported, in filling out a
joint return, that her husband
was blind.
"It will still be necessary for
him to sign the joint return,
she was told. "Would It be pos

"Oh, yes," the lady replied

Ike's Fun and Business
Covering the president when
he goes to Augusta, Ga., is a
tough problem for the White
House news contingent. Lists of
callers are not posted, as at the
White House in wasningiun.
Newsmen aren't encouraged
around the golf club.
Some of what tne president
does is unimportant, some im
portant. In the unimportant category:
Ike calls his negro caddy, Willie
Perteet, "Cemetery," because a
girl friend once carved him up
in a tavern ... Ike still uses
miliary terms. When about to
take a picture of his Bobby
Jones portrait, Ike said: "I've
sent Nell to get Mamie to turn
out for this formation, but she's
tired of photographers." ...
Nell is Mrs. Robert Woodruff,
whose husband is head of Coca
Cola, . . '
In the important category:
Ike golfed with John Hay Whit
ney, husband of the first Mrs.
Jimmie Roosevelt, and domin
ant figure in Freeport sulpnur.
His company is trying to lease
or buy from Ike's subordinate
the huge U. S. government
nickel plant in Cuba . . . Also
visiting Ike were Ellis Slater,
Frankfort distillers; John Bud-
inger, bankers trust; Cliff Rob

Bob Woodruff of Coca cola;

Congressman Velde
A congresman's background
at the time he's elected usually
crops out in congress after he's
elected. The background of
Harold Velde, who now wanti
to probe churches as well u
schools, is a case in point.
Velde was elected with the
financial backing of the gambling-liquor
fraternity around
Peoria, 111., one of the tougheit
areas south of Chicago, near
which he was a Tazewell coun
ty judge. During his first elec
tion race in 1948, one of Velde'i
campaign- managers had this
significant conversation with
Harry Neumiller, president of
the - Hunitube Manufacturinf
Co. of Peoria.
Mistaking Harry for his bro

of Caterpillar Tractor k
Velde's representative asked ta
a campaign contribution. Harry
Neumiller declined.
"You better think that over,"
replied Velde's representative
Don t forget that Judge Veldi
sits on the Tazewell county
court and has a lot to say about
setting taxes for the county.
Don't forget that the Caterpil

is all in Tazewell , county."
"You happen to have the
wrong man," replied Harry
Neumiller. "But if you think
