An Embarrassing Situation
People dependent upon public utility transport
ation In and out of Heppner are in a sorry plight
thM- days. The limited bus sen ice that was in
operation desisted and travelers, or would-be
travelers are literally left afoot. One must bum
a ride or stay at home. It is an embarrassing
Kit uation.
What can or may be done about it is an answer
that has not been forthcoming. If bus operators
of the past have been unable to make the route
pay It is not reasonable tn expect, much less to
urge, others to enter the business. Operators have
tried running from Heppner to Arlington, and
from Heppner to The Dalles, yet there is insuf
ficient traffic, apparently, to warrant continuance
of any service from here to the outside.
One possible solution may be and this would
be only a limited service for the Union Pacific
truck service to put on a combined freight and
passenger truck. This will not meet with approv
al by the truck concern for it involves more in
surance coverage, yet if the railroad company
and the other utility carriers choose to cut us off
and there is insufficient patronage to warrant
operation of a regular bus line it is not unreason
able to ask that the truck company give such a
service consideration. This type of combination
truck is in operation in other interior areas and
could well be put into use here. The truck car
rying mail and freight to and from Heppner usu
ally makes two trips each 24 hours. Why couldn't
passengers be carried on one of these trips, at
least?
The Battle for Oregon
Things have been warming up politically In
Oregon for the past few weeks, and more partic
ularly the past few days, with two presidential
NATIONAL EDITORIAL-
r AoclAT On
aspirants nr.l ing intensive campaigns here. Har
old Stassen has visited the state three times
within the past eight months and there is no
doubt about his popularity, particularly among
the younger voters. This week we have New
York's Governor Dewey as our guest and he is
making an intensive campaign to divert some of
the Stassen popularity in his direction, and with
some success, we believe. .
Here are two strong personalities, both believing
in a firm foreign policy and following the same
trend to a large degree in domestic affairs. Both
have distinguished themselves in public service,
and both are young men. Both are committed to
the development of resources in the northwest,
although their approach to the problems may
differ. Mr. Dewey has taken issue with Mr. Stas
sen on the proposal to outlaw the communist
party in the United States and his opposition Is
based on a firm belief in the American principle
of freedom that if it is possible to outlaw one
party it will likewise be possible to outlaw all
political parties and that when that hoppens he
would no longer wish to live in America for all
freedom would be abolished.
Having heard these two men discuss the Issues,
largely through the medium of answering ques
tions, one can not help but be impressed with
their sincerity and their earnest desire to lead the
nation, and the world, out of the chaotic condition
resulting from seven years of all-out war. In
drawing a line, it can be said that Mr. Dewey is
more emphatic regarding his foreign policy, as
well as his criticism of the present administration,
which he declares has no foreign policy.
It may be possible that neither of these prom
inent candidates will receive the nomination.
Things can happen at conventions. It is the writ
er's humble opinion that both are good presiden
tial material but that Dewey has the advantage
of several years in age and experience which give
him an edge on administrative know-how.

PETERSON'S, Jelers
Washington Week
By CHARLES L. EGENROAD
Washington, D. C Why is the
President asking Congess for war
preparations? The American peo
ple may soon know.
A resolution introduced by 32
Republican Senators on March 19
should result in revealing the na
ture of the mysterious commit
ments made at Teheran, Cairo,
Yalta and Potsdam which, it is
now evident, are the basis of the
present international crisis.
Yet President Truman is the on
ly one who can divulge the se
crets of those historic conferences.
In his special message to Con
gress on March 17, he issued a
can to arms because of a war
threat without stating what that
threat is.
Going no further than to say
that one nation has "persistently
ignored and violated" agreements
which "could have furnished a
basis for a just peace," he made
commitments binding on the liv
es of all Americans. On this in
dictment he has asked Congress
to take steps. On these secrets
he wants Congress to set the
stage for a possible War III.
In behalf of the people who are
Involved in this crisis, the Sena
tors have asked Mr. Truman to
tell Americans just how far they
have been committed as a nation.
Joining in sponsorship of the res
olution, one of the 32 Senators
recalled the American watch
word, "United we stand, divided
we fall."
Election bet bookmakers, the
big money group of the Portland
gambling element, for the past
five weeks have been conducting
their usual pre-election straw
ballots. This was when their re
search was soleand invariably
for their own inioimation in com
puting odds for offering bets. For
the past 15 years, however, they
have been utilizing a by-product
bv -making announcements of
odds favoring a candidate they
feel they can trust to keep
"hands-off" their illegal activi
ties.
On the theory that everyone
likes to talk and vote for a win
ner they doubtless have frequent'
lv gained votes for their candi
dates. Of course their announced
odds are more often for betting
purposes.
Four weeks ago they announc
ed odds that favored Dewey to
carry Oregon Two weeks ago
odds changed to favor btassen
This week odds are two to one
on Stasssen. Hall for governor
was a two-to-one bet four weeks
ago, now "the sheet" reads Hall
5 to 4. Up-state bets have been
even money. For secretary of
state Newbry has a steadily in
creasing lead.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
IMPROVED
Oregon is tied for second place
in the western division of the
nation-wide pedestrian protection
contest sponsored by the Amen
can Automobile association. The
state department was advised
Monday in a letter from the na
tional headquarters of the asso
ciation, "deserving of special at
tention is Mr. Earl T. Newbry,
the letter said.
CAMP WHITE BILL BOLSTERED
Oregon's congressional delega
tion was asked this week to sup
port the present bill before con
gress for government use of
Camp White as a veterans hos
pital. The request came from
Governor John Hall and Secretary
of State Earl Newbry who are of

bry distributed $1,157,181 to Ore
con counties this week. The am
ount is 19 percent of state high
way revehues for the first three
months of 1948.
Tl-.e money is apportioned on
the basis of the number of mo

comes from sale of motor vehicle
licenses, gas taxes, motor carrier
fees, and fines for violation of

was first on the program. The
first four grades wound the May
pole and also played several
numbers. Fifth and sixth grades
resented a play and the 7th and
8th played several orchestra
numbers under direction of Lead

"If we are united in our foreign
policy," he said, "we will stand.
But how could we know whether
we are united when our foreign
policy is in the hands of one
man?"
The resolution asks the Presi
dent to state the specific viola
tinnc whirh he hplieves have
brought us to the brink of war.Juier issued tne totiowing opinions
It asks that Congress and the
people be told just what agree
ments were made at these mys
teious conferences, which the Ad
ministration has designated as
the foreign policy for 145 million
Americans.
Further questions will be asked
all of them vitally important:
Was the domination of Poland
by Russia agreed to in the con
ferences, or is it a violation?
Is Yugoslavia's alliance with
Russia a double-cross, or is that
part of our secretly fixed foreign
policy? "
What of Czechoslovakia ag
reed to, or a violation?
Who's the violator in Greece?
How far. by agreement, was
Russia to go in Italy?
What of Finland agreement or
violation?
These are the international is
sues which today threaten Amer
icans with war. These are the is
sues which today prompt the
huge spending of American dol
lars in other parts of the world to
halt the spread of Russian influ
ence.
