DOUGLAS MacARTHUR'S CREDO
General Douglas MacArthur is observing his 74th birth
day Monday, January 26.
sas, son of Lt. Gen. Arthur
tioncd there, and who, like his son, was a foremost mili
tary hero ot liis time, both of whom have had most adven
turous careers and left their marks on history.
The Capital Journal is in receipt of a fine calendar-sized
naturally colored presentation of "General MacArthur's
Credo," with portrait of Douglas MacArthur topping a gal
lery of heroes, which include George Washington, Abra
ham Lincoln, Sir Winston Churchill and Herbert Hoover.
It was sent by Basil Brewer, the fighting editor and pub
lisher of the New Bedford, Mass., Standard Times.
Because of universal interest in Douglas MacArthur,
army commander of the victorious U.S. forces in the
Pacific during World War II, pacifier of belligerent Japan
afterwards and supreme commander in the Korean war
until his sudden removal by President Truman, his creed
js published in full:
Youth is not a time of life.
It's a state of mind.
It's a test of the will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of emotions,
a prominence of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure
over love of ease. ,
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.
People grow old only by deserting their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair . . . these are the
Suick equivalents of the long, long years that bow the head and turn
ie crowing spirit back to dust.
Whether 70 or 16, there is, In every being's heart, the love of wonder,,
the sweet amazement of the stars, and the starlike things and thoughts,
the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for
"What Next?
You are as voune as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as
your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as
old as your despair.
So long as your heart receives messages of beauty, cheer, courage,
grandeur and power from the earth, from man and from the Infinite,
to long are you young.
When all the wires are down, and all the central places of your heart
- are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism,
' then, and only then, are you grown old indeed, and may Cod have
mercy on your soul.
"Live everyday of your life as though you expected to live forever.'

KEEP RED CHINA OUT
The envoys of the western powers went to Berlin in good
faith, with "open minds," hoping against hope that Rus
sia's attitude would be quite different than there was any
reason to believe it would be.
There may yet be ground
say that there isn t. But the

What did Molotov sav? That nothinir would be accom
plished without the inclusion of Red China to make a
Big Five" conference. Whether he is prepared to insist
upon the point isn't certain. If he is the conference is as
good as dead before it even begins. For there are two
good reasons Red China doesn't belong in this conference.
First, and reason enough by itself: This is a European
conference, designed primarily to see if something can be
done about Germany and Austria. The western powers
want a treaty covering these countries, providing for their
restoration to the rank of independent nations, with a
withdrawal of foreign occupation forces. They want a
united Germany, which Russia will oppose, but the confer
ence should at least determine whether any agreement is
possible. Red China has no interest whatever in this (uies
tion or any others relating to Europe.
Second, the western powers have had enough experience
negotiating with Red China in Korea to know that it is
just a waste of time and effort. The Chinese arc even
more unwilling than the Russians to agree to anything.
They are past masters of the old oriental art of stall.
If we want nothing accomplished at Berlin, Red China
could help us. If there is any constructive end sought the
farther China stays away the better.
BEN HUR LAMPMAN
It was something of a surprise to note that Ben Hur
Lampman, who died Sunday, was only 67. It seemed to
men and women who were not new to Oregon themselves
that he had been part of the Oregon scene since its very
beginning.
Mr. Lampman was a native of Wisconsin, who begun
newspaper work in North Dakota and rame to Oregon with
his family, locating at Gold
published a newspaper.
The big city beckoned the talented young man and he
joined the Oregonian in 1916, first as a police reporter,
soon to become an editorial writer who wrote as no one
else ever did or will.
Ren Hur Lampman whs loved by a great circle of reading
fans who never knew him personally, but who really did
know him through his unique writings, which Oregonians
have always regarded as distinctive to this state.
Fortunately he wrote books as well as newspaper copy
for today, and if it is good for a few discerning persons'
Fcrapbooks, so his words will live on in the literary saga of
Oregon, Well deserved recognition as poet laureate of
Oregon was conferred in 1051 by our own Governor Mc
Kay, hut this tribute had already come from the hearts of

James Roosevelt, who ran against Earl Warren the last
time Warren was elected governor of California, has just

unofficial tabulation on separations by Roosevelt sons and
daughters to seven.

most important recent appointees
comes up in the senate today. II
is Robert K. I-co, the new federal
communications commissioner, in
which, post he allocates the great

ernment can still parcel out to

channels.
In the Hoover administration,
the most important bureau from
the viewpoint of natural wealth
was the Fcderad Power Commi.
sion, which allocated dam sites to
electric power companies. Now
most of these have been developed.
i'rior to that, the commission
that had the greatest largess to
ladle out was the lands bureau
which gave away the vast undevel
oped west.
But today, with population ex
panded and natural resources do-
oloped, the greatest federal gifts
come from TV licenses, which can
make fortunes for those lucky
enough to get them. Even more
important, they help sway public
opinion in the U.S.
Not only do TV and radio have
a tremendous impact on the pub
lic, nut many TV and radio sta
tions arc owned by newspapers; so
the danger of monopolization of
the news, of canned thinking, ac
cording to Senator Mike Monroncy
of Oklahoma, is not to be taken
lightly.

But what even Senator Mon
roncy, an ex-newspapcrman, may
not realize is the extent to whijh

pending TV licenses.

time getting a TV license." ob

"We've been pretty critical of
McCarthy."
"The boss." remarked a mid
western editor, "doesn't want us
to print too much about McCar
thy. We have a TV application
pending before the FCC."
Both newsmen had every reason
to be cautious. They knew that

To the Editor:
We attended the park commis

along with a large delegation of
garden club members to put
forth our effort to impress the
commission with the value to the
city to turn the old barn in Bush
Park over to the people for a gar
den center. Shivering with the
cold, we listened attentively,
when they didn t talk too low for
us to hear, to the views brought
out by the members of the com
mission. The only obstruction to the
starting of the project, which
seems to worry the city manager,
is the fact the city is using the
barn for a machine shed. A mod

shop would cost the city $3500,
which amount for that purpose
the city lathers do not possess.

Film Censorship
By RAYMOND MOLEY
The decision of the United States
Supreme Court, ruling against the
rulings of two state authorities
which prohjbitod the showing of
two motion pictures, may well
start street dancing by purveyors
of bad pictures. There will be
rejoicing, too; by certain misguid
ed "liberals" who contend that
the Constitution says that anything
can be seen by anybody. But be
fore the celebration gets too noisy,
someone ought to tell such people
exactly what the court decided.
Its unanimous decision was that
the banning of the two pictures
was wrong for the same general
reasons given by the court in the
case of "The Miracle" in 1951.
In that case it was held that the
direction in the law of New York,
that "sacrilegious" films be ban
ned, was altogether too vague. In
the present case of the picture
"La Ronde," it was held that the
term "immoral" was too vague,
and in the case of "M," that the
objection of "tending to promote
crime" was too vague.
' Justice Clark, in the majority
opinion in The Miracle case,
held that "in seeking to apply the
broad and all-inclusive definition
of 'sacrilegious' given by the New
York courts, the censor is set
adrift upon a boundless sea amid
a myriad of conflicting currents
of religious views." Justice Reed,
concurring in the "judgment," as
sumed that the state had the pow
er to establish a system of licens
ing pictures, but would have the
supreme court set itself up as a
supercensoring body to determine
whether "the principles of the
First Amendment have been hon
ored." JusUce Frankfurter concurred in
the "judgment" with a prodigious
ly long opinion which reveals the
fruits of ransacking the sacred
writings, the dictionaries, and the
encyclopedias in order to say
simply that the New York Board
of Regents did not know anything
about sacrileges.
But Clark and Frankfurter and,
as I have indicated, Reed make it
clear that the motion picture can
not enjoy unlimited liberty and
that it occupies a special position
regardless of the protection of the
First, or free-speech, Amendment.
The court throughout these opin
ions was careful to say that it was
referring to "prior" restraints,
which means that the police power
can more rightfully be invoked
after a picture has been shown
than before. In short, that it is
legal to lock the stable after the
horse is stolen.
The problem now presented to
the slates which wish to continue
censorship is to devise laws which
more precisely define such things
as "sacrilege," "immorality," "en
couragement of crime," etc. This
will be difficult. The courts, as
wall as the legislatures, have been
struggling with a definition of "in
sanity" for generations and still
seem to be unable to make one.
But legislatures have prescribed
the setting up of commissions to
judge individual cases. That is,
o course, what the legislatures
tried to do in the case of motion
pictures i.e.. delegate the spe
cific determinations to an adminis
trative agency.
This blow to government cen
sorship will make it more impor
tant than ever that the industry
police itself through its Production
Code. That is at the moment un
der fire. The real danger is in
that direction, for if the authority
of the industry to regulate itself
is to he flouted, nothing but chaos
will result, wilh boycotts and other
private means of suppressing had
pictures taking the place of or
derly regulation
The opinions of Justices Douglas
and Black in these recent cases
I shall consider in another article.
For they apparently would invite
the chaos of which I speak.

"If you're not a ham, no mat
ter what business you're in, no
matter what in life you're trying
to do," said Benny, "You 11 nev
er be any good in it."
To Benny "ham" means a food
to the spirit instead of the body,
or. as he puts it "the ability to
keep on enthusing, and not take
your next song or your next
breath for granted."
Fields, hailed by Bing Crosby
as America's first cronner, was
a prince in the days when vaude
ville was king. And he married
a crown princess. Blossom See
ley, a famous star who intro
duced many famous jazz songs
as the teen-agers today still like
to hum.
They have trouped together
for 32 years, and most of the
years were fat, but some of them
were lean. Sometimes Blossom
was starred, sometimes Benny;
often they shared top billing.
Benny said it never made any
difference to either of them.
"If two married people start
getting jealous of each other's
career," he said, "they don't have
a marriage. They've just got a
financial arrangement."
Blossom and Benny, who don't
mind at all being called "Mr.
and Mrs. Show Business," are
starred together again now on
two daily programs over station
WMGM here.
"We aren't exactly disc jock
eys," said Benny. "We just ad
lib about the old days, and play
a little music. But we worked up
to a top rating in just 14 weeks,
and Blossie did a jig.
"That girl still flips. And she
used to have everything big
money, big cars, chauffeurs,
maids everything. That's what
I mean by ham; you have to en
