HERMISTON HELP
RED TAPE
Governor Charges Bureau
cratio Methods Hamper
Efforts Expand Schools.
Salem, Sept. Gov.
Charles A. Sprague charged to
day that the city of Hermlston'i
application for federal aid for
its overburdened school system
"appears to be badly bogged
down with bureaucratic red
tape in Washington."
The governor's statement was
contained in a letter to Mrs.
Joseph Swanson of Hermiston,
who wrote the governor com
plaining bitterly that her daugh
ter was not accepted at the Jler
miston high school because
there was no room for her.
The city, where a federal am
munition dump Is being con
structed, reported its school en
rollment is 1,223, compared with
487 last year. Three months ago
the city asked the government
to provide school funds under
new federal law to assist com
munities whose facilities are
overtaxed by defense activities.
The governor told Mrs. Swan
son that he had asked the gov
ernment for clearance of the
project, but that he has "not
been accorded the courtesy of a
reply." He said the delay is
"inexcusable."
Mrs. Swanson wrote the gov
ernor that there is room at two
churches and a library where
school classes could be held,
adding that if the workers leave
Hermiston because their chil
dren cannot be educated, "Uncle
Sam's work will not be fin
ished." Communications
George Wants Some Action
To the Editor: Quite often
people, knowing of my "writing
ability" (?), stop me on the
street and want me to write an
article on some subject or other;'
recently the main subject has
been the many serious and fatal
automobile accidents, and I will
be told how the guilty driver
has had a long past record as a
careless driver, etc.; and invari
ably, these same persons will
be "absolved from all blame."
This has become such a record
that this class of reckless driv
ers have taken an attitude of
"why should I care, I won't be
blamed if 1 do kill someone."
People have told me that they
don't go for a drive because of
the probability of being wrecked
(Service stations take note).
1 thought possibly the traffic
council would be interested so
I attended their meeting this
week, but when I broached the
subject there seemed to be very
little interest.
I know of only one official
that is interested in this subject
and that is our district attorney,
lie has started a move to get
some action through the Eagles
lodges.
There is a law, passed by our
last legislature, that applies to
this matter and I think it would
be a good thing if the Mail
Tribune would print an article
describing this law, and then if
we would get one or two con
victions under it there might be
a chance to make these reckless
drivers think, (provided they
have something to think with).

Wall St. Report
New York, Sept. 11 m
Rallying commodities helped
put a little backbone in the
stock market today and fair
sized buying came in for an as
sortment of specialties.
Transfers were around 600,
000 shares.
In addition to the come-back
in staples, which dipped yester
day on the proposal to release
government-held farm products
as a means of halting soaring
prices, securities seemed to have
been aided by a moderately bet
ter brand of foreign news. The
business picture remained more
or less encouraging.
Japanese bonds exhibited re
newed strength on the talk of
easing far eastern tension.
