TRUMAN RETAINS
TOP BILLING
An apparent attempt to divert
voter attention from uninhibited cor
ruption in its many forms practised
by Truman cronies in Washington by
publicizing an expense fund of GOP
vice-presidential candidate Nixon nas
evidently failed.
That candidates seeking national
office need extra funds in addition to
their meager incomes to conduct to
day’s costly campaigns is to be assum
ed. Unless proof is available that such
financial assistance has influenced
the decisions and votes of the office-
holder, he cannot be blamed for ac
cepting needed help.
Leading Democratic candidates
have been conspicuous in their lack
of comment on Nixon’s private fund
and any possible connection it might
have with his record in the senate.
By laying the facts on the table
Nixon has probably capitalized on
thw “skeleton” which the Democrats
so timely hauled out of the closet.
GOP support behind the young Calif
ornian has probably increased.
Truman’s stubborn refusals in
past years to rebuke unscrupulous
cronies still occupies the national cor
ruption spotlight, and will remain
there until voters decide Nov. 4 whe
ther this siphoning of public funds
is to be important* as a campaign
issue.
Pocketing of public monies by
those taking advantage of high office
is slowly reaching the stage of being
condoned by the American public as
a natural result of bureaucratic gov
ernment.
The corruption issue is slated to
I k * less important in this campaign
than the lack of White House leader
ship in terminating the Korean war,
conflicting foreign policy, and the
spreading signs of a Democratic pro
gram of eventual socialism in the
American government.

No Longer Two Sides
to This Question!
Ever seen those two-family
houses they have in some places —
with separate front doors and
porches -aide by side? My sister
owns half ol one and lives in it,
near Philadelphia.
Nice little ftame home. Only Sis
painted her half brown and the
other family always painted theirs
green. Ruined the effect —but for
years neither family ever thought
of sugg'sting that they both de
cide on a common shade.
Now Sis writes that their two-
timed home is no longer. "1 nfvn-
tioned we were going to repaint,”
she says. "And they said let’s get
a color we all like. So we did. A
nice shade of gray for both sides.”
From where 1 sit, so often when
there's a difference of opinion it's
best to sit right down and work
things out (like when our volun
teer tiremen decided to serve both
lemonade arid beer at their annual
picnic last month). Don’t let preju
dices “color" your opinion of your
neighbor. He’ll probably be quite
as open-nunded as you are.

PSEUDO WIDOWS _.
T he
Several cases of fraud are under
investigation by the Oregon Vet-
rans Department F.B.I. (Falsified
Bonus Impeachers).
The cases involve widows (?)
of veterans who have violated the
law by cashing Imrius checks after
they have remarried and signing
their previous names when en
doraing the checks.
Director W. F. Gaarenstroora
said the law provides that widows
of veterans can cash such checks
only so long as they are widows.
When they remarry they are not
entitled to the World War II vet-
i rans bonus.
.Many of these women have
cashed the checks through ignor
ance of the law. In stich event they
probably will be asked to- return
the money rather than resorting
to prosecution.
Edmund Warner, 21, psycopat-
hie cheek forger who escaped from
the Oregon State Hospital this
week may have evolved a plot for
the “perfect murder.”
Doctors at the hospital found
in his deserted quarters packages
of newspaper clippings about mur
ders. A note was attached to each
story giving Warner’s idea of wh
ere the murderer had made the
mistake that lead to his capture.
“He’s an awfully smart fellow,”
Dr. C. E. Bates, state hospital sup
erintendent said. “He is not men
tally ill, though. He’s p.sycopath.”
That means he knows right -from
wrong, but doesn’t care. He has
no moral sense and can’t learn
from experience.”
Russell (Slim) Maw this week
joined a man-hunting crew of Ore
gon and California State Police,
Highway Patrolmen and deputy
sheriffs seeking to capture two
escaped Oregon State Prison con
victs believed to be in the rugged
mountain country of X’othern Cal
ifornia.
The two men exchanges! shots
with officers Saturday and tl en
fled into almost inaccessible hills
Last week Maw gained plaudit-
when he captun I George Dunkin
after trailing the dangerous accu
sed murderer for three Weeks in
the mountains.
