KOREAN TRUCE SPREADS COLD WAR Signs multiply that the Korean truce instead of end ing or easing Russia's cold war against the West, has speeded up the Kremlin's war of nerves and spread its front, increasing Communist trouble making wherever possible, both openly and stealthily. Th Knm1ln' nhieetives under Malenkov remain the same as under Stalin, though tactics occasionally vary. Strikes, riots, political upheavals on other fronts show how busy the Russian "peace lovers" are in stirring up trou ble. The end of the "hot war" in Korea has merely wid ened the front of the "cold war" to other points. . The rasas attempt to terrorize West German voters in the re-election of Adenauer, tne nasn sanies in xru in' Atomic, nlanta. the riots and disorders in London, Paris, Rome, Tehran, Columbia, Guatemala and Sydney, the stimulation of fitrhting to inaocnina, uunna, jniy nd the Philipines, all can be traced to Miscow tactics.

A Communist from China turni up In the west Indies as a labor agitator. An Australian Communist returns to his coun try on a British passport after three years to Communist China. All travel on Moscow's orders. Infiltration Is getting more attention than ever as a Communist weapon. New fields for Communist troublemakers Include countries ef Negro Africa where, so far, Communists have made little progress. But a British newspaper, the Manchester Guardian, in a atiiriv nf labor organizations in Nigeria and on the Gold Coast, found them riddled with Communists. "Hundreds of West Africans." the newspaper reported, "are being trained In Eastern Europe by the Communists. On their return they are expected to infiltrate the present labor unions, oust the lead era and seize control of labor with a view to taking political control. A world-wide truce doees not suit Moscow's plans. Until It does, there is little likelihood that the Communists will quit exploiting trouble where they find It and creating It where they can. G.P. , . . , LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER A FOUR PERCENTER The Eisenhower administration has produced its first "five percenter." Only this chap, one Warren L. Steph enson of Washington, D. C, is really only a four per center, a welcome 20 percent reduction from the form ula of the Truman era grafters we suppose is to be ex pected in this economizing, budget balancing administration. Anyway Stephenson has admitted to a congressional committee that he had "bragged" and "puffed" about his ability to obtain government contracts and had sought a four percent cut on any Navy business a California firm he represented got. Stephenson was at least a minor wheel in the Repub lican party, for he rode on the Eisenhower campaign train and was executive secretary of the Eisenhower in auguration committee, a position he sought to turn into cash. It does not yet appear that any law was violated, but the ethics of a man using his political influence for per sonal gain are worse than questionable. Happily he has been promptly exposed and it is doubtful if his influence will be of much value to his clients. There is only one remedy for this sort of thing. It is merciless congressional investigation of every rumor. then exposure of facts developed, followed by prosecu tion where there is a basis for it No administration can ever hope to keep its supporters 100 percent clean, but it flan noia dereliction to a minimum II it will. We are con lident this one will. SHAVING U. S. SUPPORT OF U. N. --" ". X VOU bONT 1 a.. - mm warn mm xxiwui l atx V lili8'll' POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER Biggest War Cost Comes After It Ends Hal.

After a long wait the U.N. committee on contributions has approved a U.S. request for a reduction of our dues from 85.12 to 8313 percent of the entire bill. Only two iron curtain members, Russia and Russian con trolled Czechoslavakia, dissented in the ten member committee. The American share is far more than we should be paying, as would be expected. Rusisa. the nrincioal trou blemaker and largest member in area and population ex cept India, pays only 12.28 percent and is in arrears on that. The committee recommended that Russia tav 14.15 percent Russia ought to pay as much as the United states. Aside from paying far more than our proportion of the cost the United States pays its bill promptly, while many of the others don't Nations that flout our views on every conceivable question gladly accept a dispor- tionate snare or the cost from us. A new method of financing the U. N. mlttht be de vised, in which dues would be based on the number of vetoes and other obstructions. If this were adopted and enforced the U.N. would soon have one less member and a better organization. THE 'BUMS' CLINCH THE PENNANT They call the Brooklyn Dodgers the "Bums," but they aren't really. Not a team that can cinch the National leRgue pennant September 12 with a 13 tame lead over the next club, earliest a National league club has ever none this. Charlie Dressen won this pennant with a club many experts figured couldn't do it for he lacked high quality pitching. However the Dodgers made ud for this with an unusually large number of pitchers, each of whom could help a little, and with a lot of good hitting and defensive play. The cocky little manager, who has taken his share or boos and who stuck his neck out some time ago with a flat assertion that "the Giants is deed,' is really entitled to tne honors. We doubt that the Yankees will eniov their customary world series favorite role next month, for this Dodger team is good, and the Yanks do not boast the galaxy of start of former years. It will occasion little surprise if Dressen's club goes right on from here and wins the ser ies, dampening- old Casey Stengel s joy over winning his na Knight American league pennant. Washington When John Foster Dulles was suddenly summoned to Denver last week, many people, including the sec retary of state himself, figured he was in for a presidential spanking for his off-the-cuff remark about U. 8. support for Chancellor Adenauer which caused such a furore among German socialist voters. But when Dulles got to Den ver, he was agreeably sur prised. The president, busy with golf, fishing, and domestic political problems, h a d n heard much about about the political furore kicked up by the Dulles statement. So when his secretary of state explained the Incident, Eisenhower made a very laconic reply. Our man won, didn t he, he said In brief. Then what are we worrying about? If your sup port was a mistake, maybe you can arrange to make a similar mistake Just before the 1854 elections when we art going to need all the help we can get. The two men then settled down for a two-hour discus sion of world problems, and Dulles came away wiih. the feeling that the president had given him carte blanche to apeak out bluntly at future press conferences. Note Before he left Denver he did so. Interviewed by the press, the secretary ef state said he had no evidence that the communists were holding back prisoners. Naturally this was immediately picked up by I the Reds, and when Gen. B. M. Bryan served an ultimatum on the Beds to return 844 remain ing prisoners or else the Reds promptly came back with the statement that there were none. And to back up their contention, they quoted none other than John Foster Dulles and his statement in Denver. JOCKEYING OVER ADLAI Behind all the oratory to which the Windy City will be subjected during the next two days, and behind all the head lines about southern defections from the democratic party, there is lust one big issue in the minds of those who gather at the democratic whoopfest to day. It Is: Will Adlal Stevenson be the next candidate of the demo cratic party and the next presi dent of the United States? There are e lot of side issues, such as the vigor with which the democrats should criticize Eisenhower; and whether there should be a southern or north' era national chairman. But all these shade oft into insignifi cant sideshows beside the Jock eying over Adlal The fact that the Jockeying has become so energetic less than a year after one of the most crushing defeats a demo cratic candidate ever suffered shows that a definite gleam of confidence is back in demo cratic eyer. Most of them fig ure, rightly or wrongly, that the democratic nooilnatidh less may be worth a lot ef effort. Regardless whether this right or wrong, however, here is how the Jockeys line up at the presidential post this early in the race: Jockey No. 1 Cagey, care ful Sen. Dick Russell of Georg- By DREW.PEARSON - ii : 1 ti . . . . i . uiw tviiu-anu vuiiciavc. sua u potent hand will be felt Just the same. One of the ablest of southern senators, Russell went to Venezuela last fall, made no campaign speeches for Steven son, and privately wants to euchre Adlai out of the 1858 running. Russells' horses are either Sen. Stuart Symington of Mis souri or Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas. Both are able, young, handsome, and Symington has a wealth of background in the executive branch of the gov ernment as secretary for ail, RFC administrator and chair man of the national war re sources board. But any man who gets out in front too soon in a presidential race is likely to suffer the fate of another handsome candidate Paul McNutt of Indiana. Jockey No. 2 Is Sen. Xstes Kefauver of Tennessee. Kef auver is riding his own horse, hiding behind no one else, and has a powerful a following among grass-roots ' democrats. Most republicans will tell you that if Kefauver had been run ning last fall instead of Adlai, Ike would have had a tougher battle. Old guard democrats don't particularly love Estes. And while Speaker Sam Rayburn and Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama were especially In vited to participate at Chicago, Kefauver was largely ignored. In the long run this cold- shouldering helps him ".Un the voters rather than hurts him, and Kefauver will be a man to watch for 1W6. Jockey No. 3 Is Gov. Men- nen Williams oi Michigan. 'Soapy," as he's called because his family founded the soap and baby powder 'companies whose name he bears, is not whipping up his horse. He's modestly running only lor the senate from Michigan. But he s one of the most popular democrats ever to be elected the nor mally republican state ' Mich igan, and Is a man who should be watched for 19S6. Jockey No. 4 Is H irry Tru man himself. Like Dick Rus sell ef Georgia, Harry is a trainer more than a Jockey. He's playing no favorites at the moment, but is extremely anx ious to pick and train a horse that can win. In the past he's veer.d to ward Adlal. But Truman has been a bit irked of late that Adlal hasn't taken off the gloves and slugged at the re publican opposition. He feels that precious months hive gone by and important issues have escaped tl.e public merely be cause the titular leader of the democratic party, Stevenson wasn't energetically carrying the ball. Those are the chief horses, their Jockeys and their train en, In and out of en unusual three year -early democratic gathering s gathering which indicates the.t will be a lot of political 'irework during the next three years. (ceamtM u Lousy Sport Town? Pendleton East Oregonian The suggestion has been made here that Portland's civic leaders do some more investi gating before asking the city's taxpayers to finance an $8 mil lion sports and recreation cen ter at Swan Island. We feel more certain than ever that the suggestion should be given consideration after seeing that pro football game in Multnomah stadium Mon- dal night. It was between the Los Angeles Rams and the Chi cago Cardinals and a promoter couldn't dream up for the city of Portland a sports attraction that had so many elements of the "sports natural." There is bad feeling between the two coaches, Joe Stydahar and Hampton Poole. Stydahar coached the Rams before he went to the Cardinals and the story is that Poole undermined him at Los Angeles. The Rams' star Is Norman Van Brocklln, the boy who starred just a few years ago for University of Oregon. And one of the Rams' best defensive backs is Wood- ley Lewis, a teammate of Van Brocklln at Oregon. The Card inals were showing a highly publicized rookie, Johnny Olzewski, whom many North west fans had seen as a play er for University of California. The game offered all that plus the guarantee that there would be good football, as the pros always play it. A sell-out seemed a certainty. But, when the ticket booths weae closed many seats were vacant. This Is only one case. We can point to countless others. Only recently the Shrine class "A" benefit high school game drew only 19,000 in Mult nomah stadium. Ad Infinitum We know full well that our friends in the metropolis will not like this critique. Who are we, out here in the hinterland, to be telling Portland it is s lousy sports town? Well, the Oregon Journal used the same words about a year ago and more recently has been asking whether Portland will wake up or continue to slumber. The record is too substan tial to be denied. If there had been any doubt about it the pro game, we believe, clinched it. SalemlOYears Ago By BEN MAXWELL September 14, 1911 Capital Journal has received special advices from Washing ton to the effect that tentative approval had been given the First National Bank of Port land to purchase First National Bank of Salem.

By RAYMOND MOLEY Back here In New York, the sentiment rising from the re cently baked pavements of Wall Street is that, with the termina tion of the excess profits tax and the cut In individual in come rates on January 1, it will be impossible to bring the bud get into balance and that fur ther deficits and Inflation are inevitable. There is a grow ing conviction in what is known as the investment field that even a KepuDiican aaminisu-a- tion will fail to save the dollar from further deterioration, This, it would seem, would mean higher prices next year and a rising stock market That is, one might draw that logical conclusion. But Wall Street is not strong on logical conclu sions; and so far, the selling has outstripped the buying. However, the melancholy conclusion that the tide of spending cannot appreciably be stemmed can be entertained if. in momenta of weariness and depression, we listen too long to the shrill voice of selfish inter est abroad in the land. Those voices found a perfect repre sentative in Harry S. Truman, who held forth in Detroit on Labor Day. It was the same old appeal to the stomachs and pocketbooks of the many spec ific Interests farmers, wage earners, regional Interests hith erto benefitted by Federal funds, and all of the pressure groups that can be arrayed against the joint concern or tne nation. Perhaps it can be said that philosophically the Truman doctrine is to array the several aeainst the Joint, The many in terest groups against the total body of tne nation s taxpayers. And while the latter are vastly more numerous and have the best logical case, they almost always lose in the struggle with the former. If President Eisenhower could become the spokesman for those taxpayers, who In truth can be called "the many," against the rapacity of "the few" in the interest groups, he might prevail in this battle for solvency and perhaps assure himself a singular place in his tory. But he will have to be single-minded about it and stop trying to buy off the opposition to economy, one by one. Take for example the organ ized veterans' groups, not to be confused with the totality of all veterans. One point where a lot of money can be saved is in limited free medical care to veterans who cannot afford to pay. Tht group of the needy is really not large. But recent ly the American Legion in St Louis "and the U. S. Spanish War Veterans in Cleveland spoke out against the relative ly modest cuts already made. The Legion a year ago seemed to be against socialized medi cine for everybody but veter ans. Then there are the farmers who bitterly mourn the fall in meat prices. And the public power people in the northwest who bewail the policy of eas ing the spending on dams and transmission lines. And those who want deserts to bloom with federal irrigation sub sidies subsidies, I should add, that are getting higher by the year. There are the chambers of commerce, bitterly regretting the loss of unnecessary defense establishments. Then there are the embattled and entrenched bureaucrats former employes of the lavishly benign Truman dispensation, talking about cuts in ' services at home and abroad. Vastly more important than anything else that the President faces in the domestic field Is this need to mobilize support irom the an against the many, or, if you would borrow a Tru man phrase but not a Truman meaning, "The Many" against "The Few." fields than It did to redden them. The expense goes on for gen erations. SUrting certainly by the tune of the Civil War, America has found it more cost ly to pay off its after obliga tions of a war than it did to foot the bills for the actual fighting. In the final bookkeeping of any war one of the expense items is the memorials erected to commemorate it. As people think less of war in terms of glory, their attitude towajd best how to honor their heroia is changing. The old idea was to collect as big a sum of money as pos sible and put up as big a monu ment as possible, surmounted by a huge symbolic figure er a metal general rigid on a ram pant metal horse. After both the Civil War and the First World War, commun ities tried to outdo each other in this respect It was all done in the name of grateful patriot ism, A few of these memorials were lovely. But many were -sculptural atrocities at the time, and now although they are the joyful perches of pigeons many residents regard them wryly as civic eyesores. But at best they were only something to look at. They had no human use. And are such passive hunks of metal and marble really the best way to remember the sacrifices of the fallen? Many ' communities today don't think so. The trend after the Second World War was to ward memorials that spelled an improvement and better ment of a way of life the local boys had died to preserve a new athletic field, high school, art gallery, library, bridge, or civil hall plaque bearing the names of the honored dead. What better tribute can a town pay to the memory of its he roes than to build something to make it a better town? And what better monument could the American Fifth Army have than the one it erected to commemorate its deadly land ing ten years ago on the beaches below Salerno a nursery and welfare center for Italian chil dren? What finer testimony of what its victory there stands for? The men who fought there often felt they were in "the forgotten war." But the Ital ian people now have fresh cause to remember them grate fully for a long time. What kind of memorial will be built to keep alive the mem ory of the sacrifices of those who died In the Korean war? It is doubtful whether there will be many erected in this country. But the funds Amer ica will pour into Korea for the rebuilding of that shattered land are the truest kind of re membranceout of hate some thing better. But the best war memorial is a lasting peace. And if a real peace could emerge from Korea, the world will enjoy the noMest memorial of its history. Impatience on U.N. Denver Post The former commander of the American Legion who re ferred slurringly to the United Nationsaa the "chowder, marching and conversation club" pandered to public Im patience with the struggling ef forts ef the world's other than the debates which erupt over only vehicle for collective se curity. In a speech to the Legion's convention he revealed abys mal ignorance about the work of UN other than the debates which errupt over such crises iu those in Korea, Palestine ud northwestern Persia. And by the use of a mischievous and, incidentally, plagarized phrase he encouraged public contempt for what may be mankind's last best hope for peace. It was pleasing, on the other hand, to see young Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon in a wholesomely nonpartisan role proposing credit to Harry Tru man for the decision to stop the Communists .in Korea. Mr. Nixon made it quite clear that he thought Mr. Truman's move won the rieht move. The Jim. ior Veep gained in stature by his remarks.
