Wasn 't a Whitewash TO CRY "whitewash" at the acquittal of Brother Bridges is the easy way out. But it isn't at all convincing. Certainly those who followed the Bridges hear ing with an open mind, were not surprised at the verdict. For the fundamental rule that an accused person is innocent until his guilt is proved beyond a reason able doubt, applied in this proceeding. And ONLY THOSE who were convinced the radical laborite was a Communist BEFORE the hearing, started, had no REASONABLE doubt of it when it ENDED. e e e AS THIS column remarked at the outset, we felt " confident Bridges, had been too smart to Bign anything on the dotted line. That his sympathies were with the Communists and he himself believed in ultimately replacing our present form of government with a "dictatorship of the proletariat" we had little doubt. But to prove he ever became a bona fide mem ber of the U. S. Communist party or was at the time of the hearing was a horse of another color. And that HAD TO BE done, before the man could be deported. Commissioner Landis in a decision so volum inous that it is doubtful if anyone but he and his stenographer have read it, or ever will read it, decided it had not been done. Those who followed the hearing with their heads rather than their emotions, will be disposed to agree with him. The Football Results AXELL speaking of "reasonable doubt," the var- ious and sundry "bowl games" yesterday, left none, regarding the superiority of Pacific Coast foot ball over the rest of the country. Here were the coast champions, tied twice in the 1939 season, and only nosing out Washington by an eye lash and considerable Lady Luck. And the champions of the rest of the country, undefeated for two years, and unscored on for the second, a record unequalled by a major team in the history of modern football. And what was the result? In the opinion of this column, there hasn't been a more decisive defeat administered to an invading eastern Rose Bowl team, in recent years than the one Southern California handed out to the hierhlv- touted warriors from Tennessee. The score wasn't so bad, only 14 to 0. But if the acid test favored by some coaches, that of yardage and first downs had been applied, the score would have been about 60 to 0. MOT only that but Southern Cal. outclassed the A1 Volunteers in EVERY department of the trame. including the fighting spirit. They ran harder, hit harder, and the stronger the opposition, the tougher they got. Only once in the entire within sight of pay dirt, and then a fumble spoiled their chances, and it wasn't one of those unlucky iumoies either, it was the when the 15 yard line was teers, to be perfectly frank, crumbled under it. "HE East-West game at ' the same thesis. On the records there was little to choose between the op posing forces, no All-American stars on either side. But the Pacific Coasters, with many of their best men, out with injuries, shellacked the Easterners. with the largest score of is no explanation but Far 'OR the clinching argument, however, one must go back a few weeks to the Stanford-Dartmouth con test. Here was the "SWEET PEA" of the entire Coast conference, the once mighty "Cards" without a single victory to their credit, beaten by everything they met. And there was Dartmouth, with a team below the Green average, but still one that ranked among the first 257c in the East, with overwhelming vic ories against both Yale and Harvard. And yet the lowly Cards made nionkevs out of the boys from Hanover winning pretty much as they wisnen. CO WHILE there is nothing more uncertain than football, as it is now plaved. there is. on thp rec ord, no doubt of this: Pacific Coast football ball of the South and East, The Best Chance of Peace THE best hope for peace in 1910, is not what Eng lon.l in, fl.-v nv. 4UA " I t M iniin win uu uil lllf Mfil, I1U1 WIlilL V.lt'1 I1IHI1 V V UN and Russia CAN'T do on the land.

THE MYSTERY OF CANCER More than forty years ago a laboratory was established by one of the largest states as an institution for the study of cancer, in con Junction with a hospital where citizens of the state might receive treatment for cancer. Of course the s t a t e's pur pose in found ing and con ducting such well equipped and ably staffed institutions these forty years or more is to aid the fight against cancer and if possible to help solve the mystery of the cause of cancer and so bring about discovery of -a cure or at least the most effective treatment. Shortly after the opening of the laboratory and hospital a young doctor, fresh from sev eral years of study in famous European universities, was taken under the wing of the distinguished teacher surgeon who had inspired the foundation of the institution and was chosen by the state as head man, and set to work carrying out studies projected by the chief. The protege, either from the spirit instilled in him in German universities or from an unfortunate complex, displayed toward undergraduate students a certain snobbishness which made him unpopular unlike his eminent chief who always showed students every courtesy and friendly consideration. Yet in spite of the young doctor's manner the students all respect ed his mind. Not long after his advent the brilliant young doctor electri fied the medical world with the announcement that he had dis covered the cause of cancer. He invited physicians to assemble in the amphitheatre of the med ical school to listen to his re cital of the story of the discov ery and to see for themselves the organism, which he would demonstrate microscopically. Long before the time for the demonstration the amphitheatre was crowded with doctors eager for the great news. It looked like a great moment in medical history. The young man's intro ductory remarks were delivered with plenty of atmosphere, not to say wind. THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc. WashinKton, Jan. 2. A sign of the times is that the presi dent's annual message "on the state of the union," to be de livered at the opening of con gress, is actually expected to be largely devoted to the state of the world. Foreign problems are now the president's main concern. For eign problems are also the ex clusive province of the top of ficials of the state department. Sumner Welles and Adolph A. Boric, Jr., working under the wise eye of their chief, Secre tary of State Cordoll Hull, have done most of the preparatory snadc-work on the message. They cordially dislike the new deal advisers and amaneunses who always used to move Into the White t. around the new year. They brook little inter ference from them. As so often happens, ths change In prsoimtl ymbolirs the chnn? In governmental emphnjls. At the same- time, numerous domestic mat ter, have also required to be donlt with. On theaa tht president's old advisers have had their say. In the domeettp field, the bud ret takes the lea Shortly after the mevar on the siMe of the union will come the special budget mes aaie.

The watch-word Is that the at tacks are mere "half-truths." Phs prifMdent will reply by putting what he regards aa the whole truth on the record, and nrlm; askiim his attacker to do better. In the White House circle tha message la described as "educational rather than proro caMve." but It mny b said that the model for this type of education Brady. M. D. Finally the discoverer of the cause of cancer carefully set up a hanging drop preparation, fo cused the oil-immersion lens on it, found some typical organ isms and invited the physicians to line up and have a look, but kindly make It brief so that as many as possible might enjoy the same privilege this evening. Well, anyway. It was a won derful build-up. Not that the young scientist was insincere. No question at all but that he honestly believed he had iso lated the specific germ of can cer. But, alas, no one else could see it. Not one of all the doc tors present, many of them spec ialists in histology, pathology, bacteriology, could see the put ative cancer germ. The affair dissolved in the tender darkness of the night. Next day, and for ever after, no one recalled it. The young scientist resumed his laboratory work where he had left off. Cancer is as great a mystery today as it was fifty years ago. QUESTIONS AND .ANSWERS Playing Wind Instrument Daughter, eleven yeara old. playa the oboe In school band.

Is rubbing the little dog's nose In his overturned dish. The strategy behind the two mes sages is different for foreign and domestic problems. In the field of foreign affaire, the president want above all to retain the newly-won confidence of congress and the country. Legislative authorization Is not required for most of his moves In the foreign field, and his careful forthcoming expos'tlon of the Inter national situation and hit policies with regard to it Is primarily In tended to soothe opposition and banish remaining distrust. Aid for Finland and renewal of the trade agreement act are the two Issues which will have to be passed on by congress. At Least In the matter of aid for Finland, the president will follow the precedents set In' the neutrality fight, carefully consulting all groups In the Demo cratic party, (riving his congressional leaders broad discretion, and avoid ing the dragoonlm, tactics of the past. He has decided, very wisely, that foreign poll-y la one field where the consent of virtually all shades of opinion Is a vital preliminary to action. tn handling domestic questions, the president's aim is somewhat dif ferent. Here general consent is ob viously not attainable, and In any case he cares little for It. He only wants his plans to be approved. If possible without starting another Intramural row In the Democratic party. With this in mind, he has re versed to his old trick of letting congress feel what responsibility U like. The cut In the budget are very deep. If the legislators cannot conquer their usual aversion to stinginess in a campaign year. It will be necessary either to levy new taxes or to remove the present lim itation of 4 5. 000. 000. 000 on the ted eral debt. Congress can taks it choice between accepting the presi dent's budget or one of the two disagreeable alternatives. Broadly speaking, the president's plan for hsndllng domestic Issues Is to make congress do the work, com prom le where a bsol u tel y neces sary, and If possible avoid any knock -down, drag-out flahta. The motive for this novel mildness of I spirit t. of course, the president s desire to bring his party Into the election In first cIsjw shape As most j IVmocnits ihare this desire, and as I all Republicans must think of po. Itica first between now and next November, the president's plan of walking wsrilv mav well succeed. 1 As of this writing, the likeliest pros- pect for a really good show during i the coming session are long-shot I bet, like a sudden disturbance In our re la Ions with Japan, followed by a drive for an anti-Japanese em bargo.

I AST week, in Portland, the J-1 Equitable Savings and Loan association celebrated its 80th anniversary, marking the end of a full half century devoted to preaching, practicing and dem onstrating the economic value of THRIFT. e THRIFT, in these days, is in bad repute. Thrift leads people to ACQUIRE a compe tence, and a competence pro vides the feeling of security. That, the demagogues tell us, is ALL WRONG. Security, ac cording to these gentry, should not be ACQUIRED. It should be CON FERRED. Acquiring smacks of rugged individualism and the rugged individualist pays for what he gets and is beholden to one one. Confer ring, on the other hand, con veys the idea of favors given and received, and those who receive favors are expected to be GRATEFUL. The demagogues want it un derstood by all of us that what ever security (or other good) comes to us is the result of political wizardry PRACTICED BY THEM. For what we re ceive they expect us to be grate ful to them. 1 OINCE demagogues have been " extensively in charge of our affairs in recent years, it fol lows that thrift is a thing that has been seldom mentioned. When referred to at all, it has been in a tone of scorn. AT THIS 50th anniversary eel ebration. countless instances were cited of men who had been taught to save and of the BEN EFITS accruing to them as a result of saving. Sometimes their savings pro vided them with the money to build a home. In other cases. the saved money paid hospital and doctor bills. In others, it made possible getting into busi ness for themselves. And in MANY, MANY cases savings tided over men who lost their jobs as a result of the depression, enabling them to get back on their feet again without the loss of self-respect Involved in becoming objects of charity. (Equitable Savings Sc Loan association, It should be ex plained, is an old-fashioned in stitution, run since its begin ning on old-fashioned ideas of business sanity and honesty. Never, since its founding, has it promised SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. Hence, when the depression emergency came, it remained solvent and able to pay its depositors when they needed their money.) I ISTENING to this 50-year " record of devotion to the idea of thrift (which means sav ing in order to get ahead in the world) this writer became less apprehensive of the future than he had been. Thrift has done a lot for humanity. It can do a LOT MORE if we will only close our ears to the dema gogues and get back to its sound principles. Communications Too Much CreD Hanalna. To the Editor: There is so much of nega tive thought rampant In the world at the close of a year crowded with fateful events that it seems to me men of Rood will should reaffirm their faith in themselves and in their fellows. Ministers of melancholy regu larly spring up whenever crises occur. Apparently it has been so since history began. We look backward 90 years to won der that a man of such emi nence as Disraeli could have said "In industry, commerce and agriculture there is no hope." Yet his pessimistic pro nouncement differed but little from much heard around us In these days. The most needed men are those creative optimists who face the future with courage and intelligence, not those drip pers of tears who beat their breasts and spread ashes on their heads. We have reached a new year in our calendar. Let us give thanks to an Almighty Provi dence that we here in America are able to think clearly and plan carefully with the confi Hence born of values within ourselves. Sincerely J. T.

Mr. Roosevelt has lopped $50,000,000 from this es timate (sum the engineers said could be used effectively in fis cal year 1941), leaving $70, 000,000 to spread over all such projects. Out of this sum must come whatever is allocated to the Willamette Valley Project, or flood-control projects else where. There will be very little money available for continuing the flood-control work on the Lower Columbia river which, however, is practically com pleted. FUNDS for river and harbor Im provement have alao been placed on the economy Hat.
