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

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 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. Where the message on the
state of the union Is reported to
be kindly and conciliatory in Its

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.

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,

4.5 jW t
By Frank JenWlru.
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

could be used effectively in fis

000,000 to spread over all such
projects. Out of this sum must

Sunset
By Russell Mitchell
Dendentric forms of clouds In
trude, Like mineral trees or ferns or
moss,
The sky's deep blue their shapes
protrude
Above a base of smoke-black
mist.
The top-most points are gleam
ing bright
Where sun beams pierce thin
edges through,
And crown the mass with silver
white.
While underneath the ebon base,
The setting sun gives all a glow,
A blood red scene on painted
vase.
Above the forest's sombre green.
Fantastic splotch of colors gay
Abrupt contrasts of every hue,
Which paint the closing of a
day,
With charming disregard of
rules.
An artist's mind conceived this
scene
And matched contrasting colors'
rush.
The blue, bright silver, orange
and green.
Depict the power of nature's
brush.
Song of An Okie
By Russell Mitchell
Cowboys riding the wide prairie,
And cattle as far as the eye
can see.
Oil well derricks and mining
mills
And bad men hiding away in
the hills.
My home ah,
Is Oklahoma.
Bucking bronrs and charging
steers,
Where the Indians drink unlaw
ful beers.
Where rattlesnakes bite you on
the heel,
And gamblers beat you when
they deal.
My home ah,
Is Oklahoma.
I long to see the wide prairie.
And all the things that USED to
be.
I love the land of the low black
Jack, But you can bet your boots I
DON'T go back,
To my home ah,
In Oklahoma!

Bend, will soon be at home on
a pond at the state penitentiary.
Wild ducks and geese have
already taken advantage of the
sanctuary afforded by a pond
at the back of the prison which
is surrounded by a high wire
fence. They assemble there in
large flocks, under the watchful
guns of the guards on the pris
on walls, and quack and honk
derisively at the hunters pass
ing on the road nerby.
