BROWN, Publisher GLENN CUSHMAN, Managing Editor GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor Emeritus Published every afternoon except Sunday at 280 North Church St. Phone EM-46811 Should Be Unanimous Sentimentally speaking, Thursday of this week, St. Valen tine's Day, would be an appropriate time for someone to in troduce in the Oregon Legislature the bill calling for a celcbra tion of the slate's centennial in 1959. And when the bill is voted on it should get 60 votes In the House and 30 in the Senate. Oregon is the Valentine state, so called because it was ad mitted to the Union on St. Valentine's Day, February 14, 1859. Governor Holmes, in his message at the beginning of the session, asked that provision be made for a suitable celebra tion of Oregons centennial year. He asked for, and should have, "the full assistance of the Oregon Historical Society ana oilier organizations in this field in coordinating all phases of the celebration to produce a program worthy of Oregon's ncn Historical neritage. :'lt will take some money, of course. But even at a lime when the lawmakers have to use all their legislative wits to find financial sources, the practical program needs to be seasoned with something sentimental. And the centennial cel ebration proposal isn't all sentiment by any means. It will have great practical value to the schools, and to all the people of the state as an occasion stressing Oregon's historic and political importance. In both is much that is outstanding. It is beyond reason that the centennial should not be celebrated, and adequately so. ;As was true of only half a dozen other slates, Oregon's method of getting into the union was clever and effective. It began functioning like a state before its admission, even to electing a congressional delegation. Members of the delega tion, Delazon Smith and Joseph Lane as senators, and Lafayette Grover as representative, lobbied for admission in Washington and expedited statehood. This bit of history will no doubt have a part in the ccnlennial celebration in 1959. Centennial dates of two of the preliminary events will fall this year the constitutional convention held in August and September, 1857, and the ratification of the convention by the people November 9 of that year. These dates emphasize the need of early action toward the celebration two years from now. Panama Canal Trouble Looms The Egyptian seizure of the Suez Canal has evidently In spired Panama to follow somewhat similar tactics towards the United Stales on the Panama Canal and serves as a warning against "complacency" says Fortune in its February issue. , The Panamanians, according to Fortune, have made it clear to Washington that they do not regard the status of the Panama Canal as a "closed issue" and that they see in the Egyptian situation some "fundamental analogies" to their own situation. Although Panama can be expected to press the sov reignty issue, Fortune sees no "immediate threat of a rabble rousing Nasser" coming into power on the isthmus. IWounded pride instigated the first Panamanian repercus sion from Nasser's seizure of the canal; came last August when Panama failed to get a bid to the London Conference on Suez. The Panamanians natural Interest in international canals, coupled with tho fact that the world's ninth-largest merchant fleet flies Panama's flag and is a heavy user of the Suez, made them feel they were entitled to an invitation. When they were "rather pointedly Ignored," Panamanian officials bitterly blamed the U. S. This fleet is owned by non-resident foreigners evading taxation. Another grievance was the failure of Secretary Dulles at a press conference explaining tho difference in status between Hie two canals, restating the historical U. S. claims to sov reignty over the Canal Zone, which has always been disputed by Panama, which claims the U. S. has only limited right over the zone. There is talk among Panamanians of "Carrying their case to the World Court." Besides the problem of growing re sentment among Panamanians, the U. S. also must contend with the fact that the canal is "rapidly shrinking in usefulness as the world builds bigger and better ships," the magazine says. "While the U. S. Is considering lending millions for enlarging and Improving the Suez Canal, it must face tho fact that its own canal is no longer big enough and in a few years will not be able to handle the increasing traffic (up nearly 50 per cent from pre war) without expensive improvements. It must likewise face the fact that Russia and nuclear weapons have changed the military thinking about tho defense of the canal. The canal has now n low military importance. It is over 6000 miles from Itussin and even if it were attacked, It would virtually ho Impossible to defend." Panama has virtually lived off tho canal and done nothing to develop it, and through It enjoys one of the highest annual per capita incomes In Latin America. But there is a growing move of nationalism to tako over the canal somo day. CP. RAY TUCKER GOP Given Lion's Share of Contributions From 'Wealtlr 1X71 HAY TUCKKH WASHINGTON. Feb. 12 - No drastic revision of the Corrupt Practices Act to prevent excessive election expend itures is antici pated at the cur rent or future sessions of Con gress. There is no serious o r evident desire for such a far reaching reform in these days of rising costs for everything. Anv limitation would amount to outright penali zation of the Republican Party, in view of the fact that the nation's leading corporations and wealthiest families generally contribute most heavily to the GOP in national and stale campaigns. They give only small change to the Democrats. In their resistance to any basic ollcralion, the Republicans would have the support of many Southern Democrats. They frequently need generous gifts in their' contests in primaries, for a victory In them is usually tantamount to election in Dixie. And the Federal statutes do not now require reports on primary finances, although the re visionists demand such a provision in any new law. CI.KAVAOK IN CONTRIBUTIONS The most amazing feature of IMS political spending, and one which has generally escaped com ment, is its evidence of a spec tacularly sharp economic and class division among the American peo ple. The cleavage has become even wider than it was In the bitter depression days of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Here are a few striking exam ples of this growing gulf between the politico-economic "haves" and have nots. Officers of the notion's 100 largest Industrial firms gave $536, 307 to the Republicans and only $0,500 to the Democrats. Owners of the 25. largest transportation companies railroads, airlines, maritime poured $.160,962 into the Republican treasury, and slipped only $7,475 to the Steven son-Kcfauver forces. WEALTH FLOODS OOP The 2.1 largest lite Insurance firms kicked in $186,250 and $4,500 on the same basis of Party al legiance. For the private utilities, it was $71,200 and $1,500. The great trading corporations food, de partment, mail order preferred Ike by $116,050 to $14,500. The 12 wealthiest families du Ponts, Field. Ford, Harriman. Lehman, Rockefeller, Vandcrbilt, Mellon, Whitney, etc. flooded the GOP with $1,040,520, as against $107,109 for the Democrats. One branch of the Lehman family and the Reynolds clan, which profited from aluminum contracts during and since World War II, accounted for most of the Democratic money. The 88 companies engaged in atomic energy work showed their appreciation $387,342 for Ike, $34,700 for Stevenson. So did the 100 largest military prime con tractors, with contrasting contribu tions Of $1,133,882 and $40,975. AGENCIES ALL LIKED IKE The 29 largest oil companies were also generous $344,997 against $14,650. The 10 leading ra dio and TV licensees expressed their gratitude with $37,800 and $1,000. The 17 certificated airlines bet $132,150 on Ike, and only $31,- 609 on Stevenson. The Madison Avenue advertising agencies showed their faith in the Party product they have been sell ing $51,600 for tho GOP, not a nickel for the Democrats. And 47 leading Investment houses showed that they know where their bonds are buttered $237,800 for Admin istration candidates, only $2,000 for the opposition. Not since the McKinley-Bryan "full-dinner pail" campaign of 1896, perhaps, has there been such a political, social and economic collision in a Presidential election. DAVID LAWRENCE Press Has No More Right To Defy Rules Than Others Neighborly Norlh Dakota 'North Dakota, which has the reputation of being the coldest and most hlizzardly of any of our states, did a neighborly tiling during New York Stale's recent arctic spell, when the thermometer fell In record levels of 31 to 43 below zero in spots. Tho North Dakota legislature passed a concurrent reso lution expressing sympathy to New York and offering the use of North Dakota's snow removal equipment and sanctuary Many "weather refugees." The resolution was passed unanimously. It slates that North Dakota "has during the present and past winter seasons en joyed mild temperatures, sunshine filled days and only enough snowfall to paint the traditional winter scene." The weather records give North Dakota a range of 124 degrees in summer to 60 below zero in winter, and report -siiauen Dunning, isolated imzzards, with killing frosts in early autumn." Only four states suffer greater hail damage. On July 26, 1949, hailstones as large as 2' it inches in diameter hit Bismarck for a loss of $1,000,000, nnd in Julv, 1952, another hailstorm measured 22 Inches in depth. At' Niagara Falls, hailstones as largo as baseballs fell on August Hi. 1U52. There was quite an agitation not long ago in North Dakota for changing the name of the stale, for its wintry blizzard reputation was said to be scaring settlers and tourists from the state. This reputation is of lung standing. When the territory of Dakota was admitted to the I'nion as two states, the Mill, nnd of expression, it would de and 40lh, iij 1890, there was a question as to what names the iwnde the 'clear and present dan two new slates would take, and it was sticeostoil in rnnnroM 1 s'r" doctrine to fashion from It a that they be given the names of Koca and Over Knca. .North Dakota had a population of Bin.ti.W In 11150 and since oil was discovered In 1951 with over 400 producing wells, will be able to keep warm in winter, though in politics it always has been somewhat balmy. (5. P. D. Lawrrnce WASHINGTON Many officials here are frankly disturbed about the altitude of those few news papers which are upholding the three Amer ican newsmen who defied a re side tion im posed by t h e g o v e r nment here and en- etred Commu nist China when their passports were not validat ed for that purpose. To defy the government's pass port rules on the ground that the press has a right to do as it pleases In foreign travel, oven though "other citizens are restricted from doing so, is something of a surprise to officials who have al ways believed all cilitcns must be dealt with equally. These officials are confident that, if the issue could somehow be submitted to Ihc American people, public opin ion would never uphold the view of those who are refusing to go along with the policies of their own government In a delicale mat ter of international policy involv ing an enemy government. Question Raised As one official put It, the spokes men -for the viewpoint that the omission of visas on American passports can be disregarded in the interest of news-gathering pose the question of whether the press is above any requirement to sup port patriotically the government here by adhering to the regulations covering foreign travel. Hie hiipreme Court of the United States, which lays down what is sometimes called the "Law of the Land," has expressed Itself on this very point on several occasions. It said in one case: "The fact that the publisher handles news white others handle food docs not . . . afford the publisher a peculiar constitutional sanctuary In which he can with impunity violate laws regulating his business practices. Not Entitled to Immunity "Nor is a publisher who engages in business practices made unlaw ful . . . entitled to partial im munity by reason of the 'clear o n d present danger' doctrine which courts hnvo used to protect freedom to speak, to print, and to worship . . . formulated ns it was to protect liberty of thought Mysterious Money its formal statement on the subject : If an American reporter en tered Communist China on a Unit ed Stales passport, that would vio late the restriction of the docu ment on travel in one of the three countries Bulgaria, Albania and Red China. Many business men want to travel in China to engage in trade, which now is embargoed. The con gress has acted on the theory that Red China and the United Nations including this country, which is the military agent for the U.N in Korea are slill in a state of war in Korea, where Communist China's armies face American troops every day on the armistice line. It is not customary for the state department to issue pass ports for travel to countries with which a state of war exists. It is true that the congress was not specifically asked by President Truman in 1950 to declare war or to ratify a state of war in Korea, but the subsequent appro priations made by congress f o r military purposes and the sanction given to military measures which the United States carried out in accordance with directives from the security council of the U.N. testify to the actual state of war. Policy In Background In the background, of course, Is the policy queslion. The newsmen Invited to China are not permitted by the Red China government to go where they please or interview whom they please. They are fed propaganda nnd, with the best in tentions in the world, they can only reflect what (hey see or what they are told. Newsmen from other countries who novo entered Red China in recent montlis have come out with nothing but what the Red Chinese lot them learn. Hence, the Red Chinese get their propaganda distributed, and the world docsn t get the whole truth. Related to the dispute is a per sistent drive in various quarters here and abroad to compel recog nition of the Red China govern ment nnd its admission to the U.N. Yet Chou En-Lai, Red China's foreign minister, has never with drawn his bitter attacks on the U.N. made nt Geneva in 1954 when he refused to agree to allow a U.N. commission to consider terms of peace in Korea ns provided by the armistice itself. Red China has repeatedly declined to give up American prisoners slill held in violation of the Korean armistice. There has been a hint from Red China that these prisoners might be bartered it the newsmen came In. but the Washington government rightly refuses to be a party to such on attempt at blackmail.

THE OPEN FORUM Writer Says Churches Need To Lobby for Social Welfare Hidden Taxes MIGHT RE OBSOLETE In these days of mechanization and of atomic weapons the nation al guard could easily be obsolete hecouse it does not provide that kind of training. Sherman Coun ty Journal. Dear Editor: The older I get the more I real ize the public is to blame for most of its troubles. Time and again I listen to a long harangue of complaints about what the city county, state or federal govern ments should, but are not doing for the public welfare. But not one constructive idea how to remedy the situation comes to my ears. We do get a crook in office once in a while, but if the public didn't fail to do their part he wouldn't get to first base with his schemes. Just for instance, how can you expect your city councilman to know what your district wants him to do if you never tell him? The only individuals approaching him are the ones wanting a certain taw passed or a license granted that will help them make more money. They put up a very con vincing argument that it will be not the least bit injurious to the city welfare. Your councilman is not infallible. He is just as liable to (all victim to a good talker as you frequently do to a good sales man who comes to your door. Who is he going to turn to to find out the publics' desires? You have no organization, no lobbyist to speak lor you. I have an idea which may be wrong but it may at least slart some constructive thinking. Here it is: Every church in our city should give part of their lime to acting as a chamber of commerce for the social welfare of our citv. They want our streets kept free of bawdy structures. They want nice parks for their gatherings and for their children to play in. without paying a porkbarrcl price for the land. They want, they want, they want. Why not start some constructive activity to get the things they want? Refnrp the H.ivc of nrnliibilinn Salem the churches started a crusade against the use of Alcohol was that meddling in. politics? The country never was so dry as it was before the passing of Ihe pro hibition law. If the churches had continued that crusade to this day, instead of ignoring Jesus warning about using force, saloons wouldn't be able to make a living anywhere in the United States. Cordially yours, E. M. Prltycrew 103S S. 12lh St. Salem HAL BOYLE Bottom Has Fallen Out of Bahama Ghost Rental Homes Dear Editor, Both our old and even new legislators, representing our de creasing number ot taxpayers, have overlooked a rather import ant kind of taxes, and that is the "hidden" taxes. A national com mission has now been recommend ed to investigate our present tax policies, and to date just one of them has found out that on the "hidden" taxes, we are now pay ing ten billion dollars a year, on just this one kind. These are the kind of taxes that are with you all the year, not just at the end of a quarter. They are levied both at the manufacturers and retail levels, and now apply to more than forty different com modities and service. For every dollar paid in income taxes income earners pay an ad ditional 28 cents in excise taxes. They in turn breed higher costs on the commodities you buy. So today we have withholding taxes, to the right of us: Income taxes to the left of us, hidden taxes all around you. In fact, you are "Deep in the Heart pf Taxes" and don't let anyone anywhere, state or national, tell you to the contrary. George Tf. Holmes 132S 3rd. Salem ANDROS TOWN. Bahamas OP The bottom has fallen out of the ghost rental industry here. At tne momem every ghost in the stable of Constable Boyd, who has built up a monopoly i n t thp snook rent- ing field, is un employed. "Mon. nobody seems to want to pay a fair nrine for one." cheerfully grum- hal non.h bled Ihe venerable constable. "They expect a ghost to work for nothing but rice and pigeon peas." Dealing in the renting and sell ing of guaranteed, grade-A haunt ing ghosts just the thing for "the man who has everything" is actually merely a sideline with Constable Boyd. Black Magic Flourished But his reported power over spectral spirits no one knows just when he set up his ghostly employment agency may ex plain why for 49 years Constable Boyd has had little trouble carry ing out his official duties as a peace officer on this largest is land of the Bahamas, where rem nants of "black magic" still flourish. The slender, grizzly-mouslached constable, who looks like he could be cither 62 or 162, has been known to fly to Nassau with na tives under arrest even for mur der without bothering to handcuff them. The prisoners realize it would be easy to overpower him. But who could whip his stable of ghosts? Constable Boyd is a, big man in Coakley Town, the native vil lage that lies across Fresh Creek from Andros Town, the multi-million dollar resort colony being built here by Dr. Axel Wenner- Grcn, the Swedish industrialist. Helps Keep the Peace He helps keep peace among its 350 live souls (and, of course, keeps its innumerable ghosts in line, too). He also Is the postman. And on Sunday, as a lay pastor in the native Anglican church, he puts on his ministerial robes and preaches. Now, about those ghosts "My price for renting a ghost is $28 a week, sight unseen," says Constable Boyd, "and I'll sell you a ghost outright for $1,400. But it's only fair to warn you that you can't take him with you. If you leave Andros, he will re main. He can only haunt where he s lived." So far no one has bought a $1,400 ghost, not even an angry tourist's wife anxious to haunt her husband. Few also seem will ing to pay out $28 for a full week. But the constable resolutely re fuses to lower prices or rent his ghosts for part-time work. He feels that no conscientious ghost can do a thorough job of haunt ing in less than a full week It Doesn't Cost Much "It doesn't cost much to keen them, mon, whether they're rent ed or not, he points out What a customer does with a ghost after he rents it or who he has it haunt is none of Con stable Boyd's business. All he asks is that it be returned on time and in good condition. The constable has an all-male stable of four ghosts at present. (He has never had a call for a lady ghost; presumably living ladies already are doing all the feminine haunting required.) The names of his ghosts are Murray. Gooncy, Spence, and Richard Crotch. 'I can really give you good references for the job Crotch will do," says Constable Boyd grave ly, his eyes twinkling. "He was a relative." Abe's Favor Dear Editor, "O why should the spirit or mortal be proud?" That proud spirit has cost the people of Ore gon several thousand dollars lately. The members of ou( Legislature missed the boat completely and we pay them for 10 days preening their proud feathers. It was so use less and so unnecessary. Perhaps we can all learn a lesson from the spectacle. Rather let us keep and admire the spirit of Abe and of the man of sorrows who said. "Blessed are the poor In spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." .1. W. Peabody Stnylon STANDARDIZED EDUCATION We have our education so stand ardized there is no variation by which to tell whether it is good or not. Sherman County Journal Too Big a Job? The Oregonian said in an editor- ial last week: We are advised that there is serious question of the competency of several indictments prepared by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton and staff for last sum mer's grand jury. The attorney general's office should take this opportunity to review au tne in-1; dictmcnts and to cure any errors which may exist. Should defendants in these cases go to court and be acquitted be cause of technicalities involving errors by the prosecution, rather than by failure to prove guilt, there would be the loudest public uproar in Portland's memory. And justifiably so. There has been too much fumbling. in this game. In his speech to the legislature as he retired from office, ex-Governor Elmo Smith recognized "ser ious deficiencies in the procedural rules in criminal matters. He was talking about the same Multnomah county investigation of vice and attempted prosecutions that the Oregonian refers to. ' Smith had two major sugges tions for changes in the .Oregon law: 1. Give the governor power to appoint, supervise and direct special prosecutors in matters where district attorneys may be disqualified (as Langley was in Multnomah county). 2. Provide for additional grand juries under emergency conditions proclaimed by the governor. (The grand jury working on the vice cases in Mult nomah county held up the ordinary administration of justice for many weeks. Thus a special grand jury is needed in special investigations of magnitude such as the one in Portland). In this particular case Governor Smith's recommendations would have helped and they appear to be sensible in a general sort of way. They would give the governor power he should have since he u charged with law enforcement. And they would provide for the continuation of ordinary law en forcement despite an emergency. However we can se no way by law. to protect the state from the sort of thing that evidently is go ing to happen in the Portland vic prosecutions their failure due to the incompetence of an elected public official. It is too soon to make final judgement, but it now appears that Attorney Generay Thornton may not be up to his job. If so, law enforcement in Oregon evi dently will suffer as a result.
