CSS A political analyst, by use of facts and figures exonerates the Solid South of blame for inflict ing the Fourth Term upon the nation. It was 12 other states up North.

' i WHY A HEW V1CB PRZSIDElTTf (Press Dispatch) "Wallace also said that 89 per cent of Americans have' a false impression of Russia because of what has been pub lished in newspapers and magazines. "The Russians do in Russia every day what the people of the United' States . talk about on Sunday," Mr. Wallace said a Latin Ameri can friend of his had in-, formed him." The Manufacturers associa tion is compiling a list of short ages. One time or 'another for months there have been deficits of i everything, but weeds and house flies. A few of. both are still extant. A citizen reports he recently dreamed he was the captor of Herr Hitler of Germany, and happily headed for' the acclaim of the world. But Der Fuehrer got his foot caught in a hole in the sidewalk. The dreamer, to save his soul, could not get Der Fuehrer loose and march him Into Gen. Eisenhower's head quarters before he woke up. MOTHER HAS TROUBLES Our sister Nan Is despondent over the conduct of her dauglv ter Hazel. Nan has gone to the preacher about Hazel and' has had him talk to the girl in an effort to bring her to her senses. Also Nan has appealed to rela tives to give Hazel good talks. Only today when Nan was leav ing home to attend a wild party she asked a neighbor to have a serious chat with Hazel and tell the girl she should conduct her self properly now and then. 'Nan has even gone to the ex- treme of appealing to her first husband, the girl's father, to see If he can't persuade Hazel to be good on occasions. Poor . Nan is broken-hearted over the daughter's conduct, and as last resort Nan may decide to stay at home one or two days a week and try herself to do something with the girl. (Kan sas City Times.) LABOR REFEREE Washington, Dec. . 14 U.B The metal trades department of the AFL, seeking to prevent dis ruptive post-war jurisdictional disputes, has announced that IS unions under its jurisdiction will henceforth submit differences they cannot resolve to an Impar tial referee, r Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry Teachers Needed An urgent call for extra teachers to serve in Jack son County schools for the remainder of the year or for substitute work, should not go unheeded by those who can tmalifv. Shortage of good instructors is a real problem in schools here. To add to the worries of school officials, illness Keeps a certain percentage nt teachers awav from dutv at this time of the year. Those who have taught in any state under state certificates, those who have "live" state certificates at this time, and young men and women within one year of graduation from a college or normal school, can qualify for these important school jobs here. In the latter case, an emergency Oregon certificate will be granted. Actual pre-graduation experience will prove highly usetm to college ana normal scnuui biu dents. UNFORTUNATELY, education is not a kind of nnntamnn which a student might "catch" if he could be in the same room with it It is important that rtto liio-h ntnnHard of Jackson County schools be main tained, a goal obviously impossible without a suffic ient number of able teacners. eee.ee.';. EDUCATION is an important phase of national se curity. The Army and Navy well know this fact during this war. They have been shocked by the Utter lack of satisfactory education on the part of thou sands of supposedly "educated" young people. It has meant the establishment of an emergency educational system of monumental proportions to impart useful, practical education to those who have merely' been "exposed" to it before. ' Thus, we cannot slacken for even a brief time, the Afficipncv we have had in our schools here. Those who can qualify for either regular or substitute teach ing should contact the county school office in the Courthouse building without delay; This is a valid wartime job; the work will fitable. H. G. . Education and World Peace . Sneaking of education that is going to be the out standing need in the post-war world. ' Tr. is Hterallv true that if we are to have a better world after this war, we will have to have a better edu cated people. ' .

For world, like the people 01 tne pre-war worm win ae pend largely upon their newspapers for information. And if that information is not accurate, if it is colored or biased, or misinterpreted editorially, the people will not be able to act intelligently or wisely, for they will not be in possession of the facts.

The truth is that even then the seeds of a Second World War were being sewn, and educated people GENUINELY educated people both abroad and in this country realized it. v .

And a war in which this country would be tragically involved. I7HY? Essentially because of the lack of educa- tion and especially' in the direction of human behavior and foreign affairs. Not that any form of education is going to make practicing psychologists, or foreign experts out, of the rank and file of the people the American people or any other people. That The point is education tionif general enough and comprehensive enough, can so enlighten the rank and file, and so raise the national level of straight opinions an educated leadership give the people, can be understood and assimilated.

News Behind The .News By Paul Mallon Inference Drawn That Creek Trouble Rises From Well Oroanlsed Radical Minority Washington. Dec. 14 It is difficult for officials to say ex plicitly what caused the trouble in Greece, yet the inner evi- dence here plainly sug gests the. pur pose of the re volt. It is re ported through subterran e a n official a v e nues of com- munl cation (army men and senators have heard and be Paul Mallon lieve it) that a Russian colonel was discovered among the revo lutionists, giving them military advice if not leading them. Also the firing began immediately after the prevailing Greek gov ernment had attempted to dis band the guerrilla forces in in which the communists were a strong and armed element. e e e FtOM these and dovetailing Unnilln fanie s aan.ral .tnn- munists were struggling to get control of the- remaining Greek armed forces, and maintain their own arms. They were adequate ly represented in the govern ment. Two communists were in government seats of power. three other radicals favoring them had important posts, but they lacked control of the mili tary. Not more than '5 per cent of the Greek electorate is commu nist or radical. The bulk of the population is small farmer. Leftists, however, control the railway unions, the street rail wya employes and such small but highly organized city groups and they wield an In fluence far beyond their demo cratic power. N Italy the communists were 1 kept from cabinet posts where they might do the most dam age. War, foreign affairs, edu cation, aviation, treasury, etc., were imea Dy liberals, labor and Christian democrats. The communists got a vice-premiership, occupied territories, fi nance (distinct from treasury), and agriculture. In Yugoslavia the communists are taking ev erything, with Tito in control of the army, -the reds Alongside mm and Mitiauovjch retreating westward over the mountains of Bosnia. Not much news has come from Romania or Poland, where both censorship and con tusion are In operation. But the prevailing- communists have again excluded four of our offi cials from Bulgaria. . t . e e e '..; -j DUT do not these facts pre sent in stark simplicity the problem of Europe, even includ ing Belgium and France? The questions raised are; Is it possible to reach agreement with communists on the divl- sion of democratic power? Does not tne very nature of the communist-radical cause prevent inem from co-operating sin cerely in democratic govern ment? Is there not a new rav of light for democracy rising irom wese troubles? Would anv country in Europe go commu nist it tne people were allowed an election free from the influ ence or Moscow as well as Brit ain? Are not the communist radicals merely highly organ ized small minorities? Are they really not (getting from negotia tion more power in their gov ernments than a free, election might provide them? But is it possible to hold an election free of Russian - and' British influ ence? If It Is impossible must the world not fall back neces sarily Into' spheres of Influence' with some for Russia, some for the British, some for us? certainly events are maklnir the troublesome elements In creasingly plain, and as long as people can see what the prob lem is, mere is a chance of solu tion. '.. " THE fuss in the senate over nmu ,lnl. -V , i - owre ucitti uuent ap pointees reflect no distrust with the announced policy of . the Stettinius regime for free de termination. In fact, the whole affair was started by two news papers. They turned two sena tors around. Pennsylvania's .Senator Guffey, and New York's wagner had voted in the for eign relations committee ap proving the Stettinius assist ants. Then a new deal paper in Philadelphia erupted against tnem, as did a New York paper of the same preferment. Guffy changed his mind, organized the contest to send them back to committee, and Wagner joined in. Justice and custom required hearing by the com mittee anyway.

CATHOUCSTUY POST-WAR DRAFT Washington, Dec. 14 (U.R) The postwar world committee of the Catholic Association for In ternational Peace today attacked proposals for post-war military conscription as part of "the war minded philosophy of power pol itics that has produced two world wars." The committee, composed of 32 lay and clerical - members, labeled conscription a symbol of militarism and exaggerated na tionalism . and said it involved an enormous waste of human re sources. , '" ''. "America's new position ,in world affairs calls for a reor ganization of our national de fense polity," the committee de clared, "but universal peacetime military service should be a last resource."

Washington, Dec. 14 (U.R) A congressional committee now studying charges that the Gallup poll had been used to influence the elections sought an explana tion today of why the poll did not follow its samplings and publicly predict that President Roosevelt would carry New York state.- . Chairman . Clinton P. Ander son, D., N. M., of a house cam paign expenditures subcommit tee, said Ihis question and others remained to be answered before the group completed its report on the poll. The subcommittee visited Dr. George W. Gallup, director of the institute of pub lic opinion at Princeton, N, J., earlier this week. Anderson said Gallup was "in genious" and that he personally was surprised at the -apparently accurate deductions that could be drawn from small samplings and a study of historical data. But the chairman said he still wanted to know: v. "Why did Gallup say Just be fore election that Gov. Dewey would carry New York about 50'4 to 49? per cent when his area samplings pinpoint samp lings, he calls them showed that President Roosevelt would carry, the state by 52 to 48 per cent, the, percentage by which Mr. Roosevelt actually did carry tne state?'.' - Anderson said that before a final report is made public around the first of theyear, the committee will have a detailed statement from Gallup giving a more detailed explanation of his procedures than the committee learned on its visit to Princeton.
