Malenkov Says West Scared Ex-Premier Gcorgi Malenkov, in a speech addressed to farmers in Chkalov, south of the Urals, and broadcast through out the Soviet Union, boasted that Communist Russia had "frightened off" the Western powers in Kgypt and Hungary by using and threatening to use force. Malenkov said the Soviet Union showed the world it can "force the imperialists to respect our might" through "strong measures" such as it took in Egypt and Hungary. He contin ued that when Britain and Franco attacked in Kgypt after the October Invasion by Israel there, "the Soviet Union threat ened to use force to end the fighting." It was the United Nations that stopped the fighting, not Russia. Malenkov boasted that, in the Hungarian revolt, the Russians poured in thousands of tanks and many divisions of troops to crush the rebels. That they did by massacring thousands of unarmed men, women and children, thus proving the might of the Red Army! Malenkov, who has been restored to the major group of the Red hierarchy, declared that: "Recent events showed again tho Soviet Union, undeviatintily and consistently pursuing a policy of peace, can when necessary in the interests of peace and security force the imperialists to respect our might. "As you know, with the noble aim of preventing the unleashing of a new war, it was necessary for the Soviet Union to take strung measures against unbridled aggressors, to sober the warmongers in connection with their military adventure in Kgypt." ' Of course the Hungarian people's revolt against tyranny had no connection with the Suez Canal controversy and the "imper ialists." It was the patriotic outburst of oppressed people, but the ruthless suppression is a demonstration of Communist "peace." If Malenkov is sincere in his belief that the West was afraid to intervene, he's making the same mistake that Kaiser Wil helm made in the first World War and that Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo made in World War II.

Overhulse, a freshman senator from Madras. The new president is not known too well outside of legis lative circles, although has served in three sessions of the house, during which time he gained both popularity and respect for his quiet work on house committees. He was first elected in 1051 without opposition, and re-elected to the house in 1953 and 1055. During the 1053 session he was stricken with rheumatic fever and was forced to return to his home before the session was concluded. But he has made a complete recovery. . He completed a law course at the University of Oregon in 1933 and the following year he was elected district attorney of Jefferson county. Ho was re-elected three times, finally resign ing to engage in law practice and also participate in the opera tion of an irrigated farm. Overhulse is president of the ADstract to., and for nine years school board. He was born at Walertown, S.D., July 30, 1909, and has lived in Oakland, Calif.; Culver, Mctolious, Weston, and Madras. He is married and has two children. His wife, Helena, is a teacher in the Warm Springs reservation school. Overhulse is inclined to be quiet, has the reputation of being Industrious and can be expected to rule fairly over the evenly, politically-divided, state senate. First Junior Citizen A capable and distinguished young man was chosen Thurs day night as Salem's Junior First Citizen for 11)50. Several thousand Salem youths, and all the parents and adults who know him approve the selection of Frank M. (Scot ty) Washburn for this honor. As boys' work secretary of the Y.MCA, Washburn's name has appeared often in the newspapers, and often he has centered activity in groups and clubs, always in connection with some movement for the betterment of the youth of Salem. There is no higher interest to which a young man can give his time and talent. Washburn's work and ability were recognized by his being made a member of the Coventor's Youth Council, Ins select inn as president of Pacific Northwest Hoys' Work Secretaries anil of the Oregon section of the American Association. These are only a few of the things that occupy lus lime. For a young man of 29 his total activity is no small project. It will be a loss to Salem when he leaves to become director of adult activities for the YMCA in Seattle. It in.iv be safely predicted that ho will serve in the larger field with no less distinction. Whistle Blows for Work The Forty-ninth legislative Assembly of Oregon has made a new record for itself and. with no great issue at stake, it has wasted two weeks time and rast 2K ballots to elect a pres ident of the Senate, which was tied by 15 Democrats and 15 Republicans, a result that could have been obtained by the same compromise before the first ballot. All these senators were elected on pledges of economy, yet the deadlock has cost the taxpayers many thousands of dollars extra, probably increased a session lasting for a record length of time, well over a 100 days instead of the 40-day limit originally stipulated in the slate constitution. Republicans are placing the blame on the Democrats for so long rejecting compromise, and emphasizing the correctness of the Demo party emblem, the stubborn jackass. The Demo crats can cite the equally ancient adage that the HOP elephant Is the only animal in the world that has solid wood for a brain. Both may be correct, but the people that pay the bills heave a sigh of relief that the kid's game is over for the time bouic. and the senators can get down to the business for which they were elected and the whistle blows for work. The Original There must be hundreds of pet peeves, nursed by as many individuals throughout this broad land. But one that should be placed near the top of the heap, if not at the very summit, is the one that involves the little swinging door at the end of a counter in many offices. Sometimes this door has been removed or is caught back by a hook. In any case, this spot seems to be an ideal one for con ferences of all sorts. Employes gather there to discuss office politics Usually the procedure is to station one broad-beamed individual in the center of the entrance way while companions hover on either side. This situation is probably the country's first and best bottleneck. ' The nractice Is not ni-eoiiar to anv sincle office or business. Anv nnrcrtn ti-hn hai t iren I :il ..mv. rtm.- ,n.m..

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG Anti-Commie Court Order Far-Reaching in Its Effect ' 6v RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 The Supreme Court's overriding of Pennsylvania's Anti - Communist Statute in the famous Steve Net son case has had the expected ef fect of preventing Mates prosecu tion of violators of the Pure Food and Drug and the Federal Anti Narcotic Acts. These lawbreakers must now be prosecuted only in Federal Courts, with tlie accompanying delays of several years before a final de cision. Meanwhile, the 4B States are powerless to protect their citi zens against foods harmful to health or against drugs acknow ledged to be fertile sources of the most dangerous crimes. Legal records show that State Courts dispose of such serious pro secutions in far less time than it 'requires in the federal Judiciary, Threatening htfect of Decision Numerous State jurists have complained against this far-reach ing and threatening effect of the Steve Nelson decision in letters or visits to Capitol Hill. They have urccd their Representatives to sponsor remedial laws preventing the" high tribunal from what they call an "Alarming invasion of Slate sovereignty." They now know how their - Southern col leagues feel on the question of the Warren abolition ot scnoot segre- Dnlinn. Representative J. Howard Smith of Virginia, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced such a measure because, as the author of the Federal Anti-Com munist Law. he felt that the Su preme Court had misread and misinterpreted the intent of Con gress. Hut so far he has not been ah c to persuade tnc Mouse juaici nry Committee to act or report on it favorably. Representative Emanuel Ccller, of Brooklyn, head of the Judici ary Committee, is an enthusiastic champion of Civil Rights Bills, and a b tter foe of the Virginia con gressman's altitude on this ques tion. And the Brooklyn Democrat like all Committee Chairman, car ries his group around in his vest pocket. Criticism, Indignation Against Highest Court Nobody on Capitol Hill remem bers when Ihere has been such severe criticism of and indignation against the Supreme Court on the part of State judges. The revolt amounts to an act of judicial heresy, which is why the names of the leaders cannot be listed here. Legal and judicial circles were shocked when the Supreme Court held thai Sieve Nelson could not he pnisecutel by Pennsylvania merely because Congress had passed the Smith Act lor action against suspected Communists and subversives. Hut Ibey did not Heir for Monaco Kllgene Register Guard Not since Bonnie Prince Charlie was born to England's Queen Eliz abeth and the Duke of Edinburgn has there been so much fuss over Mm hinh of a child as there was over the little princess born Wed nesday to Prince Rainier and Act ress Grace Kelly. Princess Caroline, heralded into Ihc world on a booming 21-gun salute in the tiny principality of Monaco, will never have the pres- ge anil authority granted tu Eng land's Prince Charlie hut there was plenty of reason for Monacans to celebrate. Because of this Utile girl, they now will not have to pay taxes to France nor be sub ject to military draft, something Hint almost anyone in this world today would consider worthwhile celebrating. The event was the culmination of a surprise romance that had women everywhere buzzing Willi excitement over the beautiful Grace Kelly, queen of cinema, marrying a real, live prime just as in fairy tales of old. The wedding in all its royal splendor received nearly as much attention in the American press as the Coronation of Elizabeth. All good lovers of fairy-tales-come-inie have since been wailing pa liently fur the arrival of the royal child. Next event: First official pic lures of Princess Caroline and her renowned mother. Later, pictures of the happy royal family living peacefully in Monaco, a kind of never-never land, surrounded on the inilsule by a strife-torn world beset by war and a hazardous peine.

Harmful Drug Cane Soon after the overriding de cision, members of the Medical Society of a great Eastern State consulted Representative Smith They explained that they felt that a certain drug being sold in their state was deleterious to health, and they .set out to investigate its ingredients. But the manufacturers objected successfully on the ground that Congress had stripped the State of jurisdiction by passing the Pure Food and Drug Act about 50 years ago. The makers took the position that the State statute had been repealed, not by the State Legis lature, but by the Supreme Court, The drug is still being sold. .State's Dilemma The State of Alabama faced the same sort of defense when it sought merely to inspect a stock of renovated butter considered be low health standards. Here again, the Supreme Court held that Ala bama did not have the right to confiscate the butter or to prose cute the manufacturer, or to in spect" the product. The Supreme Court's prohibition of mere "inspection" by medical and State authorities has an es pecially dangerous result, and it cannot be exaggerated. The federal government, as in prohibition days and due largely to Congressional niggardliness on appropriations, does not have enough agents to check on viola tors of these protective laws. It needs all the help it can get from the Slates and medical experts, Moreover, the Federal Courts are clogged by "the law's delay." (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Salem 27 Yrs.

Evidence of the strong movement away from the Republican party among the nations farmers in the No vember election shows up in a special analysis just completed by the American Institute of Public Opinion. Although the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket won 54 per cent of the farm vote nationwide, there was a substantial defection in GOP support between 1952 and 1956 among farmers. Among all farmers tnrougncui the country, the study snows drop-off in GOP support of 13 . percentage points. In the election four years ago, ' General Eisenhower polled H7 I per cent of the farm vote nation- wide the highest received by! any Republican candidate since 1 1:U. The GOP farm vote of 54 per cent in the t9Mi election rep-1 resents a downward shift of U percentage points. Among farmers in the crucial Midwest agricultural states, long a Republican stronghold, the stu dy shows a falling off in COP support of 14 percentage points. Farmers in this area gave Cen-i eral Eienhover 72 per cent ofj their vote in 1952, compared to 58 per cent in the liVtf election.

President Reveals Much in Answer to Simple Question By DAVID WASHINGTON. Jan. SS-Some- times a spontaneous answer to a searching question tells more than a President of the United States can say in all the addresses and statement; he may have carefully prepared for public utterance. And this is exactly what happened at the press conference on Wednes day when President Eisenhower gave, in a nutshell, what might be called America's world policy. The question asked was whether Mr. Eisenhower would care to name three or four things he hoped to accomplish in his second administration. This was the reply: Look, everything else laaes to unimnortance beside this one: That we do make progress toward belter world understanding- achieved, 1 would say, in several steps. "First, a belter understanding among tne tree nations 01 i n c world, that is, better and stronger confidence among them: The certainly mat their econ omic and military strcngm is equal to the test; 'And. after that, particularly better understanding with the Rus sians the Russian government; 'And, finally, agreements in which we could all trust them. ' The sequence is especially sig nificant. The President believes that priority must be given now to the necessity of strengthening Ihe friendships and alliances of free nations. This means the fur- Vote for Ike FARMERS 1956 Eisenhower-Nixon 58 Stevcnson Kofauvcr 42 VOTE Or MIDWEST FARMERS i!l.2 Eisenhower-Nixon 'r Stevenson-Sparkman 28 The Midwest area was a Re publican stronghold for more than 60 years until the advent of the Roosevelt New Deal. Even during the Roosevelt administra tion, the Midwest farm states were the least New Deal of any major section. During the campaign. Institute surveys showed that although a majoritv of Midwest farmers con tinued to cling to the symhol of Republicanism, in line with the oui irauiuun, on mc ohms ui sun- interest the Democratic farm program held plenty of lure for them. By a vote of more than 2-to-l, Miuwesi larmers iota institute reporters that the Democrats were more likely to increase i iinn im uiuc i nan wim tr mc iu- publicans. While the GOP soil bank plan appealed to many Southern farm ers, it was not popular with Mid west farmers, many of whom were loathe to take their rich land out of production. Others felt that it would not achieve its real purpose of cut ting down on farm surpluses be cause the land that would he taken out of production would be poor farm land which was not currently being farmed. Still others were opposed to the soil bank plan because of the price per acre which the govern ment was offering to take land out of produetion. On the other hand. Institute surveys showed that Midwest farmers had great respect for President Eisenhower and many felt that he hadn't had enouch time in his first term to prove the merits of the COP farm pro gram. Others linked the President with peace and the fact that he had brought the bovs back Irctn 1 Korea. CnpvrldHt. American LAWRENCE ther development of the.NorthH. Murray urging the public "es- Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Middle Last agreements, the Southeast Asia pacts, the Inter American understandings and, in fact, the moulding of a partner ship of the whole free world. As this is being achieved . m diplomacy, concurrently comes the building up of their economic strength as well as their military potentiality. When all this is ac complished, then, and only then, can there be an "understanding" with the "Russian government." The President doesn't say what kind of government this would be, but he does speak of "agreements in which we could alt trust them." This means, of course, that only a free government one chosen by the people of Soviet Russia in a free election and responsive to the wishes of the people would make the kind of agreements that the rest of the world could trust. For, as Mr. Eisenhower said in answering another question at the same press conference about the oft-discussed proposal for a nego tiation to bring about a withdrawal by both sides of the troops sta tioned in central Europe, this "could be accomplished only under mutual agreements in which we both, again, had some means ofj knowing they were being carried; out." At another point, the President was asked whether his proposals for disarmament and control of guided missiles might affect long term spending for military pur poses and especially for research programs. This was Mr. Eisen hower's reply: "Well, they are not going to affect them at all until we have some certainty that we have reached agreements that are en forceable, that is, where there is good faith on both sides demon strated good faith. Now, after that happens, then I would expect long range programs such as you talk about and expenditures to come down markedly. But until the world can feel safer. I can think of nothing more foolish than to weaken our defensive structure." The Woodrow Wilson slogan of 40 years ago still stands "The world must be made safe for Democracy." It has not been and never will be safe as long as auto cratic governments remain in power that can make war instant ly without consulting the people. (Copyright. 1957, New York Herald Tribune Inc.)

NEW YORK I J"'' 100 years ago at this lime, an eager man in Japan was' brimming with excitement about a long voyage. He was going to the United states. A little earlier. Commodore Perry had opened japan i somewhat forcibly, ending its 250 vears of self-imposed isola tion "from the rest of the world. Durine that time, no Japanese could legally leave the country. Alter Perry, a treaty was written and relations with America began. A century has passed now, too years of give and lake, including a learlul war, and today the two countries are linked again. Su perficially, no two people seem less alike. But underneath well, here is the young man's story: His name was Yukichi Fukuz awa and he was a man of wide ranging curiosities. Everything interested him, the sciences, lan guages, government, manners, customs. He came to America in the first ship, built and navigated entirely by Japanese, to cross the Pacific. How would they be received? The answer came quickly. 'They (the Americans' did everything for us," he wrote, 'and they could not have done more." He describes the lengths to which the people in San Francisco went to provide them with food comparable to their own diet and "knowing our habits" facilities for a Japanese-style bath. He used a cnarmmg Japanese expres sion "It was as if our host had put us in the palm of his hand to see that we lacked nothing."

"I You Can Get Dizzy Gazing At National Budget Figures By JAMES MARI-OVV Associated Presr News Analyst WASHINGTON (-You can get dizzy these brisk January days just trying to follow President Lisenhower and Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey when they talk of cutting the budget and reducing taxes on small business. Last August Eisenhower s spe cial committee for helping small business made 14 recommenda tions, including tax cuts that would amount to 600 million dollars a year. During the presidential cam paign Kisenhower said, "I shall call for further help to small bus iness with somi dozen specific recommendations Tor action in cluding special tax measures." But he was very vague when he sent his economic message to Congress yesterday, contenting himself with saying any tax cut for small business should "involve only a minimum loss of revenue" to the government. Last week at a news conference Secretary Humphrey brushed past the Cabinet committee's recom mendations for 600 million dollars in tax cuts. He said he opposed any substantial loss in revenue but added he'd be glad to see small business get a cut of 20 to 30 million dollars. It was over the budget itself that a peculiar fog descended. This past year, as every year, the heads of government agencies worked for months figuring out their spending estimates which would go into Eisenhower's total budget. They're supposed to cut to the bone. To see that thrv Hn tho Budget Bureau goes over their 1 iigures. looking for places to use the ax. Humphrey at his news' conference praised the agency' heads for their zeal. And he said": "I think the budget as now drawn has been prepared wit h the very greatest care and I think it is the best that we can possibly do right now. I don't think there is anything in sight that can be done better than is now proposed in this budget. . . ." Yet a few minutes later he was saying spending must come down he had said the same thing in a carefully prepared statement at the beginning of the conference YOU GET I IVIVL at Prices Effective Friday and Swift's PREM 12-ox.

In Washington, however, he finds something that tunes in perfectly with his deepest sensi bilities. The Japanese venerate their great men, and he is im. pressed with the statues of George Washington and the mem entoes ol the founding fathers, now he feels completely at home. But the forms of government in a democracy baffle him. "I was told that this man and that man were 'enemies' in the House. But these 'enemies' were to be seen at the same table, eating and drinking with each other. It took me a long time be fore I could understand these saparate and mysterious facts." And to show how little the world has changed in 100 years, a Rus sian tried to persuade him to be a spy for Moscow! The time came to go back to Japan. In San Francisco, mean while, their ship had undergone extensive repairs. "When the ship was ready, and we were preparing to sail on the homeward voyage, we inquired how much we should have to pay for the repairs and other ex penses. We were met with a kind ly smile, and were obliged to sail away with -our obligations un paid." What was' the result of all this? At home, Fukuzawa became one of the leaders often at the risk of his life in the struggle be tween those who feared and hated foreigners and the group advocat ing closer relations with the United Slates and the other West ern nations. There is no way of knowing how many of his people he converted during his years of teaching and writing.. There are still more like him today on both sides of the Pacific, people who see the deep simi larities, not the surface dif ferences, between two races. and then volunteered this infor mation: "I think there are' a lot of places in this budget that can be cut." Reporters asked him where. He wouldn't say. And he refused to say where again yesterday when he appeared before a House Appropriations Committee whose job is to determine how much shall be spent. This budget of almost 72 billion dollars was th ""highest Eisen hower had submitted to Congress in his four years and higher than any peacet ime budget ever of fered by former President Tru man. Why was it so high? Humphrey said it has just been "creeping up on us" because everybody has been looking to the government for more and more. Yesterday at his own news con ference Eisenhower likewise said spending must be kept down. Then, however, unlike Humphrey who said the trouble started with the public which wanted more from the government and went on up to government officials, Eisenhower said: "As long as the American peo ple demand and, inmy opinion deserve, the kind of services that this budget provides, we have got to spend this kind of money." But if Congress can cut the budget, Eisenhower said, it ought to. That's hardly news, since it's Congress job. It would seem, from all this, that the White House isn't going to provide lead ership in cutting the budget, or fighting for what it asked, and that if small business gets any sizable tax relief it will have to look to Congress, not to the ad ministration.
