INDIAN UPRISING, 1953 STYLE
' . Scramble down to the museum, take out the tomahcwV
and Dolish it no. The 'Indians are on the war oath!
, Huh? This is 1953, what are we talking: about? This
is the atomic see. the century of two World Wars, and
we are just getting- out of the tragic Korean action. In
dian wars are leg-end, something- for history books, mo
tion nictures and TV and radio shows only.
Sure. But Oreg-onians did a lot of chuckling- Friday in
rending- cress reports about "an Indian uprising-, 1953
fashion," at The Dalles. ' ' 1
; Shades of the Pioneers! What a refreshing- news story
in these troubled, modern "civilized" days! And how the
easterners must eat up the accounts with a "I told-you-
- so" because they still believe in some sections that our
West is a wild and wide-open country with Indian raids
common, e very-day happening-.
' v The incident at The Dalles came about following- a sur
prise police raid at the Indian fishing eamp at Celilo and
' the arrest of a white man accused of acquiring- salmon
illegally from the Indians. By treaty, the Indians may
fish in the Columbia river at any time, but may not sell
the fish to others in closed season.
The raid "aroused" the red men, and in their direct
way of getting to the point they told the white men: "No.
Fish ours. We catch 'em by treaty. White Man only freeze
"em for us." Or words-to that effect. And the white men
"retreated," in a fashion, anyway, giving back all the
. fish they seized but enough to present as evidence in the
. case against the arrested white man.
Incidents like this buc recall a fascinating study in our
'Northwest history. Various treaties and agreements
were made by the government in the early days of this
'area when Indians were really a problem to the pioneers.
' Now it is a problem how to get around some of these
agreements and still keep cverytning legal, not only with
the Indians but with the white men, too, in this age of
'greater population and modern living. Results are sur
: prising sometimes, too, as a moral factor comes to the
front in our dealings with .the original people in these
parts, and our consciences see that justice is done, that
' rights are upheld. : ,
, After all, the Indians in our country are good Ameri
- cans, too, and occurrences like this at The Dalles but im
, press upon us the need for action that assures no troubles
i for minority peoples, no distinction as between races.
f A GOOD STATE FAIR ;
' This is the last day of the Oregon State Fair, and it
seems in order to report the conviction that it has been a
;: good, one, even if attendance is down slightly from last
j year..
I The exhibits have been excellent, as have the enter
i tainment features, the races, the rodeo, the Hawaiian
I revue, etc, not to overlook the midway shows, which pro-
1 vide fair atmosphere for the crowds.
; The Oregon fair has ample parking facilities, which
' so many mass entertainments Jack. It has shade trees
; under which to rest when one tires of this eternal running
i around. The commodations are good. . .
; If the fair has a weak spot it is in farm crops exhibi
tions, which are to be found scattered among the vari
l ous county exhibits and the 4-H-F.F.A. exhibits by the
young people. This is good so far as it goes, but farm
crops do not make the impact on the visitors that the live
stock and poultry do in their separate- buildings. This
could of course be because producers of crops do not
fed the same urge to compete as do producers of live
' stock and poultry, Tlvsre the producer can expect a bet
- ter market for his stock if he wins ribbons at the fair.
A separate building in which to house Oregon's out
standing soil products, with a major push throughout
; the state for exhibits would round out and make complete
what is already a mighty fine annual show.
i Incidentally the weather man treated us well this week.
There was a shower or two, but no serious interference
with the festivities. And It wasn't unpleasantly warm
either.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Ike to Spend Considerable
Time Out of Washington
By DREW PEARSON
SCIENTISTS STUDY SOLAR ENERGY
; Some 35 of the world's top researchers on solar energy
are meeting in Madison, Wis. to "dream-up" new ap
proaches towards harnessing solar energy for heat and
power. The importance of the subject was recently
stressed in Fortune magazine, a condensation of which
'was recently printed in this column. It is subject of
. great importance when the rapid expansion of our pres
ent power resources is considered, far more important
'than atomic or hydrogen power, which we have spent
billions of dollars to develop and so far is for total de
structive rather than constructive purposes.
' These scientists will attempt to outline areas of further
.research best designed to allow future generations to tap
the sun for such energy when. "limited" sources of coal,
"gas and oil are exhausted. Up to now "nothing of sub-
' stantial promise" in that field has been turned up, one
cf the conference officials said.
',. The conference is not concerned with future of power
from atomic fuels, Dr. Farrington Daniels of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, chairman of the conference, says
-research on utilization of solar energy is needed because
."the sun would still be going strong when all our chemi
cal and nuclear fuels are exhausted."
' Daniels, who just completed a term as president of
the American Chemical Society, told that organization
recently that "according to optimistic guesses, in a few
hundred years, or at best a couple of thousand," the
world's suddIv of ordinary fuels will be nearly gone, with
coal lasting the longest Although he quotes the Atomic
Energy Commission as stating that "the world's energy
nwourcea of uranium exceed that of coal."
The solar energy conference sponsored jointly by the
' TInlversitv of Wisconsin and the National Science Foun
dation (NSF) will review research to date on such
thinirs as solar house beating, and sun-powered "en-
gtoes," and will seek to point out "needed areas for basic
Maaarrh."
! Concerning the conference Daniels said that the meet

authorities on non-agricultural aspects of solar

Washington President Els
enhower has enjoyed his Col
orado vacation so much that he
plans to spend as much time
as possible awsy from Wash
ington between now and the
first of the year. He will con
tinue to handle major prob
lems,, but when possible from
the distance of Augusta, Ga.,
where the new winter White
House is nearing completion.
The president has several
Important trips scheduled for
the fall, and between these
trips he hopes to divide his
time between Washington and
Auguita. Being away from
Washington he finds has the
advantage of discouraging the
steady stream of callers who
bos him down with routine
matters which Ike believes csn
be handled just as well fay su
bordinates. Also his doctors
have urged him to take as
much time off as possible from
the pressing burdens of the
presidency.
Finally Ike wants more time
to concentrate on major prob
lems. He has frequently com
plained to Intimitis that the
red tape surrounding the job
of being president was so bur
densome that he never had
time to think.
At the moment, some high.
ly important problems face the
president which will require
not only concentrated thought,
but a multitude of conferences
ith others. Some of them
have been awaiting his return
from Denver. Some, which
cannot wait, have already been
placed before bun in Denver.
Here is a summary of the
major policy problems requir
ing decision problems - which
only the president himself can
handle:
Russia's poaaeaaloB of the It-
bomb. Though we expected
Russia to get the hydrogen
bomb sooner or later, none of
our scientist expected the de
velopment to come so rapidly.
This fact has considerably up
set American timetables, may
completely upset Elsenhower
plana for cutting the air force.
The president had on his
desk before he went to Denver
a draft of a speech on the hy
drogen bomb In which he
would have warned the world
and the American people of
the horrors of hydrogen war
fare. At first it was decided to
pigeonhole CM speech. White
House psycheloglcel adviser C.
D. Jackson, among others.
feared it would terrify the
American people.
But, since this first decision.
the Russian announcement
came that they had the H-
bomb and now Ike has changed
his mind. He will deliver the
speech after all sometime this
tall. It has already been writ
ten and rewritten IS thnf i, and
is stm undergoing r-r. re
vision. Even so, the 64-dollar
question Is not being answered:
"What can the United States
do to prevent hydrogen war
fare? -
One draft of the soeech eon.
tained a proposal that Russia
join us la outlawing the H
do mo. But m ware recent
drafts this came out- n the
grounds that no f. ,ment
witb Moscow is worth, anv.
thing. And so far the 64-doUar
question still remains unan
swered. ' This is the biggest
problem facing the president.
Recession Clouds White
House economic admlsers have
been warning the president
that, despite optimistic state
ments from the commerce de
partment, business is not good.
There is a tremendous back
log of merchandise piling up
in warehouses snd on department-store
shelves. Buying
power has slumped. Business
psychology is not encouraging,
and In July, factory hiring
reached the lowest rate for that
month since July of 1849.
Ike's economic advisers fear
that defense cutbacks came
too suddenly and are cutting
too deep. They don't like the
looks of the clours on the eco
nomic horizon. So far they
haven't come up with any spe
cific, remedies other than the
New Deal cures of public
works, and both Ike and his
advisers are losth to trot them
out. In privste talks, the pre
sident has frankly warned
that the country has got to
take its deflationary medicine.
tnat n wont taste good, but it
will be necessary.
Farm Headaches While
these started well before the
business worries from defense
cutbacks, they are related and
the effect Is similar. Farm
prices have now dropped 12
per cent, while the prices
farmers mutt pay have in
creased 1 per cent On top of
mis came one Of the worst
droughts in recent farm his
tory. All this his caused belt
tightening in rural areas. And
when farmers don't buy, city
populations sutler.
The president has left this
buby solely in the hands of his
Hard - working, hard - praying
Secretary of Agriculture. As a
military man, Ike doesn't pre-
rena 10 unaerstana farm prob
lems, makes a wry face when
he talks about them. He re
members the time he told a de
legation of cattlemen that if
he put price supports under
beef, he would have to put
them under dairy products
only to be reminded that they
were already under dairy pro
ducts. So Ezra Benson will
have to wrestle with the farm
headaches pretty much by
himself.
National Debt Limit The
president has good news from
his secretary of the treasury,
George Humphrey, that he can
probably scrape through the
fall and early winter without
calling congress back to in.
crease the debt limit. Humph
rey is counting on receipt of
six billions in corporate taxes
this fall, and, by drawing on
part of the money which the
government keeps on deposit
in banks around the country,
Humphrey figures he can meet
Uncle Sam's bills until early
January, when congress meets
again. So a , special session of
congress is one thing the presi
dent won't have to worry
about
Next Step With Russia
Churchill's illness has pret
ty well extricated Ike from
the prospect of holding a Big
Four conference with Premier
Malenkov included, which Ike
never relished. But it hasn't
solved the many other pressing
problems on the Iron Curtain
front especially what to do
about the increasing drift .of
our western allies toward Rus
sian appeasement. With Mos
cow's H-bomb announcement
this drift accelerated almost to
a stampede. -
Meanwhile, the temper of
the senators Ike has to do busi
ness with on Capitol Hill has
become more adamant than
ever against any appeasement.
To solve this, White House
psychological advisers are pre
paring big step in the sat
ellite countries. In other words,
if Moscow's propganda is
weakening our ties with west
ern allies, we will concentrate
on weakening Moscow's hold
on its satellite allies. Some im
portant moves in this direction
can be expected fairly soon.

THE FIRESIDE PULPIT
Swift Says Many See Work
As a Cifrse to Be Avoided
By REV. GEOtfGE H.SWIFT
RMtor. 81 Piul't ipimopm cnunh
A young Willamette student
told me her parents had sacri
ficed to send her to school and
she appreciated It so much that
she was really going to forget
the nonsense this year and put
her whole heart and soul into
ner wont, in contrast lest year
a young man told me frankly
n naa come to school to
escape work, and he looked
upon labor in any form as a
curse.
More people are in accord
with the idea that labor is only
i urte to be avoided than we
realise. But Jeremy Taylor, an
eminent Anglican clergy,
nun of the 17th century wrote
s paragraph about work that
might well be repeated again
and again in every century. He
wrote as follows: "The labor
and sweat of our hmm t
from being a curse. Without it
our very bed would not be so
great a blessing. If it were not
for labor, men could neither
eat so much, sleep so soundly,
so strong, so patient, so noble,
nor so in; tempted."
Probably one of the best
cures for people who do not
want to work or assume some
form of responsibility is
have a long stretch, a year or
so. in s hospital bed. After sev
eral months the patient crave!
for the opportunity and the
privilege of moving about un'
der his own power, and being
able to do an honest d.iy
work. I feel sure there were
times during the Hast three
years that General Dean would
have welcomed a hod to carry
or a wheelbarrow to push.
And, speaking of work, execu
tives, administrators, lawyers,
clergymen, and others perform
services ss laborius as that per
formed by farmers and arti
sans. 1
It Is when the right or abil
ity to work Is taken away that
man realizes that he should
thank God from the depths of
his heart for the privilege and

"We-e-1-11, I guess I can
spare you a buck. Here it is.
Now go on to sleep. Your bag
is packed, good night son. I'll
turn out the light"
When her husband came out
and closed the door behind
him, Mrs. Granber demanded,
"Have you gone stark crazy?

money to elope with?"
"Oh, I think little Elsie wiU

How can you tell what children

"Well, even if she decides to

idea that you and Elsie's mother
will be right on hand to break
up the trip and probably the
romance."
"But, Frank"
"Listen, you let Junior tote
that bag to school tomorrow,"
said her husband. "He'll learn
more than he needs to know
about women in these two days
than I did in 29 years. We sent
him to kindergarten to get an
education, didn't we? Well, let
