Fine Aid For Shrine Hospital
With an average waiting list of 170 at the Shriners1
crippled children hospital pathetic youngsters
awaiting the miracles of modern orthopaedic surgery
to straighten their warped little bodies the need for
enlargement of that institution was obvious ana
urgent. That is why the local Shrine club recently,
appealed to the good people of this community for
financial assistance to neip meet trie cost 01
$150,000 buildinp program.
The cenerosity of this community exceeded all
expectations. Within a brief time more than $11,000
was contnbutea by people nere.

the Portland Shrine hospital is so well known. Here
was an opportunity to say "thanks" in a tangible way.
The opportunity was not overlooked.
Records show that it costs $4.87 per day to treat
the average crippled child, and 95 days is the average
time required for a "cure". Thus, Jackson County's
$11,000 contribution is enough to take care of 24 little
patients.
IN cold statistics, this may not mean a lot. It does
mean a great deal, however, when we realize that it
opens the door to happy, normal lives for 24 human
beings now living in misery and despair. This know
ledge should be heart-wanning to all who gave so
freely and generously, and to 0. 0. Alenderfer, O. L.
Overmyer and the rest of the Shriners who worked so
hard on this campaign. H.G.

Down to. the old "Alcazar" the other night to see
"They Met In Moscow", another Russian film. As
before stated the American movie industry puts on
a movie show every evening, most of the films pro
duced m this country but some in Russia.
Ihe latter are typical, everything on a big scale,
a bit crude and melodramatic, but powerful and heav
ily seasoned with propaganda. The propaganda isn't
dragged in by the heels however. It is inherent in
the plot, with the worker (in this case the working
girl) and virtue triumphing in the end.
"Ivan the lernble was an amusing example. Ihe
old "Muscovite Dracula", made up to resemble Jesus
Christ, was the victim of persecution by the church
and nobility, his wife died of poison (administered
by someone else) and he ends up by repelling the
hated "Hun"- and uniting his own long-suffering
people, presumably under a Soviet form of govern
ment! One wonders where his title came from.
They say Senator "Happy" Chandler will keep his
ob in the Senate while acting as Czar of baseball,
the latter an all-time job for the late Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Landis. The propriety of such action aside,
one need not worry about "Happy" suffering a break
down from overwork unless he does more in his new
job than he did and does, in the senate. R.W.R.

'In a more reticent day the
given name was not a thing to
be used lightly. Neighbors who
lived next door to each other for
forty years and became fast
friends In the process often went
to their graves "Mrs. Smith" and
"Mrs. Jones" because the title
was a piece of dignity that must
not be played horse with. A re
spectable married woman would
sooner have been caught out
without her bustle than to have
been railed "Sadie" by anyone
outside the family and a limited
cirrle of old school chums. Had
any of her descendants essayed
such flippancy they'd have been

San Francisco, June 5 (Delayed) A banquet was
given in honor of the Latin-American delegates at the
Lido last night. Nelson Rockefeller and his boss, Secre
tary of State Stettinius were there, the latter paying
high tribute to Ezequiel Padilla, foreign minister of
Mexico, declaring him to be a person of. "great qual
ities of heart and mind who has done as much as any
one to bring security and safety to the people of the
western hemisphere."
That was not hot air.
Padilla is a man who would rather be a friend of
the United States than President of Mexico. He is
able, courageous and intelligent, but according to the
people of Mexico so pro-American they don't want
him in any higher office than the one he now occupies.
Had he spent half the time beating the drum for a
bigger and better Mexico, that he has spent to
strengthen the ties that bind the "colossus of the
north" to the small nations south of the Rio Grande, in
amity and good will, he, not Comancho would now be
in the presidential palace in Mexico City.
Nelson Rockefeller is a very nice-appearing young
man, expresses himself well, undoubtedly works hard
at the job of extending and implementing the Good
Neighbor" policy; but he does give one a definite
impression of extreme youth and indiscriminating
enthusiasms.
Today a really beautiful day, sunny and cool, in
stead of windy and cold. Walked down to the- Ferry
Building and up toward Telegraph Hill, then back to
the Ferry. Seeing a large crowd before one of the
piers, proceeded to join them, somewhat after the
well known practice of the retired fire-horse respond
ing to a four-alarm fire.
And this WAS news, big news, though it all
can't be told.
For there at the dock was a transport and over
1000 young soldiers not only home after the toughest
fighting American soldiers have ever had, but home
for keeps, for them the war is over with their 85
points or more !
Well what a scene, at once inspiring and touching,
a time for cheers, and a time for tears!
Cheers for those fine, upstanding young chaps,
husky and happy and gay, and what a thrilling and
yet touching thing happiness and youth can be,
returning safe and sound to their wives and their
sweethearts and their families !
And tears, well how could they be avoided?
Tears of happiness at this return, tears of sorrow for
those who never will !

We were late or we might have obtained some news
regarding boys from Medford, for we were informed
by one of the Red Cross workers, there were some
veterans from Oregon but she had no list and did not
know where one might be obtained.
We only hope the news camera men were there for
the scenes enacted should be preserved. In fact we
wish the camera squad would make a specialty of
this sort, rather than getting into everyone's hair at
plenary sessions and committee meetings.
But what a scene, what a day!
Is there a point where there can be too much happi
ness as there can be too much steam in a steam engine,
and unless there is a safety valve, there is destruction?
mere Is a well known phrase he or she,
"almost died of joy!" Well if there IS such a thing
we are certain it was reached at Pier (deleted by
censor) today.
But sufficient unto the day is the happiness thereof !
We are pretty certain of this: very few of the thous

old as Methuselah than they were todav. sound in

New York, June 8 The main
reason Mr. Truman dispatched
Messrs. Hopkins and Davies to
Moscow and
London has
not been hint
ed. The official
explana t i o n
has been that
they were to
arrange an Im
minent meet
ing of the Big
Three, which,
may be
broad truth
cone elved to
cover a lot
more important truths. Indeed, a
suspicion is extant that Mr. Tru
man has some new ideas on
world affairs -which he wished
to test before pushing.
Yet the men had to go for a
very simple and significant rea
son. From five Roosevelt associ
ates at the Yalta conference, Mr.
Truman received five different
versions of what the agreement
there actually was. All of them,
including Mr. Hopkins, Anne
Boettlger (who was as close to
Mr. R. there as anyone, being not
only secretary but companion
and consoler to her father). State
Secretary Stettinius, politico-
naval adviser Adm. Leahy and
Jarrfes F. Byrnes, furnished vari
ations and Mr. Byrnes is sup
posed to have some stenographic
notes. All this conflicting evl-
dence concerned not only ramifi
cations of the veto-voting power
of the Big Five, but many other
important matters. The steno
graphic notes were called for,
and analyzed, but they failed to
clear the points of variance.
by a committee of which our
friend Ecuador held the chair
manship, would give the govern
ing security council of the new
world undiscussed, sensational
authority. It would wield armed
force against nonconformists, but
far more than this power of mili
tary suppression, it could com
pletely wreck a country econom
ically by complete or partial
interruption of rail, sea, air, pos
tal, telegraphic, radio and other
means of communication and
(this last being the least) sever
ance of diplomatic and economic
relations."

took the direct way of sending
the man who knew most of the

the division of Germany (leav
ing us the smallest and least im
portant portion, presumably be
cause we need all our troops in
Hie Pacific) is the first result of
the mysterious journeys. There
may be others.
Meanwhile, a sort of sub-com
mittee of the United Nations con
ference peace enforcement com
mittee has put forward a plan
which revises the whole careful
conception of the loose postwar
organization and puts not only
teeth but tusks into the charter
or rather Into Us proposed sec
tion of the charter, as there may
be other sections which round
off or put braces on the tusks.
This new provision, produced
JJOW this could be done with-
out completely occupying
the miscreant nation, or bombing
it into devastation, the commit
tee did not explain. But it also
proposed, as if the foregoing
were not enough, to "conduct
demonstrations, (whatever these
may be) blockade and other op
erations" of sea, land and air.
Now this devastation is not to
be done by an international
army, but by a "police" force
maintained by each nation with
out itself, subject to orders from
the security council. In short,
the council could order Ecuador
to do all' these things to any
other nation. The way it is speci
fied to work, each nation would
put its armies or "certain armed
forces" at the disposal of the
security council.
Who is to wield this great pro
posed new power of destruction,
unsuggested In the world up to
now? The security council will j
have 11 members and any seven
of these can operate it on most
matters but on war-making ques
tions any large nation (Big Five)
now has a veto right to prevent
action by its single objection. i
I
CO the new theory of a belliger- j
ent peace runs right Into the
much-discussed veto issue, and,
thus, the size and sharpness of
the sensational new teeth de-;
pend upon what is done finally
about the veto and the whole
voting set-up on the council. J
Already the formula for peace"
Is defective in giving five nations
a veto right, whereas only three
can really enforce world peace.
Only the United States, Britain
and Russia actually can keep the
peace because they have the
only important military forces,
yet France and China share veto
rights. But will this defect not
be widened and the fault made .
ludicrous if all veto is abandoned 1
and the armies of the big na
tions can be moved around as
pawns In the hands of the little
nations?
What are we getting into here?
