Y., Jan. 22 Well it'g all over! The Hiss verdict is guilty on both counts and we must con cludes somewhat regretfully that "Alger Hiss is one of the greatest actors since Edwin Booth and one of the greatest liars since Ananias." We must also grant this: Alger Hiss remained a great actor and liar to the end. Mr. Hiss maintained the same air of self-assurance, dignity and stoical calm when the jury's fateful verdict was announced, as he had for the 40 days his inquisition lasted. As far as he, his reputation, his future, his place in history is concerned if any it was a death sentence. With that one word "guilty," all he had accomplished, all he had done, all he had hoped for, fell around him In ruins. Yet, as far as anyone in that courtroom could determine, Hiss was no more disturbed or dismayed, no more crushed or cast down than he had been since the trial started. Outwardly he left the courtroom in the same quiet, unassuming way, with the same perfectly self-controlled, fluid-flow drive and self-respecting man ner, maintained last November when he entered it. e e e e e No man could have appeared more relaxed, more self-assured, more poised and content last fall than Alger Hiss when we first saw him with Mrs. Hiss as they walked down the steps of the U. S. Court building in Foley Square to face the swarming squad of news camera men. As far as Hiss was concerned there was not the slightest change as far as his demeanor goes when again with Mrs. Hiss he walked down tne same steps yesterday atternoon, again to hail a taxi and escape from the reporters with a calm and pleasant voiced no comment. Wa can't sav the same for She did not break down, there were in public, at least no tears: but she had lost that Mona Lisa smile, and it seemed to take everything she had to maintain an appearance of outward calm. There was, however, a discernible tension, of great effort. One felt that at anv moment, the strain haps the firm grasp of her husband's hand alone was holding back tne emotional nooct mat weuea up wunin. e e e e e Not so with her husband. Say what one will about him and plenty will be said his powers of self-control, his calm under fire, his maintenance of perfect ease and poise in the face both of personal disaster and extreme provocation add up to something most extraordinary. Even his enemies in the press room and there were many of them hand It to him on this score. One of them maintains this unusual poise only proves he lacks the sensibilities his manner and bearing suggest, and thus explains the man s mendacity and treachery that Hiss could only have done what the Jury declares he did because he has the cool nerve of the amoral personality, and at heart is really the criminal type. Mebbe so. But we can't and we don't believe many who sat through the trial, will accept this diagnosis. . Frankly, we are stumped. The Hiss trial Is over, but the mystery lingers on. In one direction your correspondent agrees with Whittaker Chambers who, when interviewed dointj his daily chores on his Maryland farm following the verdict said, with customary complacence: "I do not see what else the jury could have done." After the evidence presented and the story told by Chambers which in its main contentions was never refuted we agree. The only hypothesis that made sense in view of the evidence and particularly the typewriter, was the guilt of Mr. Hiss. Nothing else added up nothing else was at all convincing. We admit our SYMPATHIES were with Mr. and Mrs. Hiss and still are. Throughout the trial we tried to arrive at some reasonable explanation based upon their innocence, but had to admit when the trial ended, the attempt had failed. And yet the mystery remains. The feeling that people like Mr. and Mrs. Hiss (for if he is guilty she was surely an accom plice) could ever have done what the evidence nroves thev did. still refuses to jell In our consciousness. We could not credit itl when the trial started, we can t emotionally now. It all remains unbelievable. . But there are the facts, most of them unrefuted facts. And while there Is no doubt the chief, and practically speaking the only witness against the Hisses, Whittaker Chambers, perjured himself Innumerable times, was a pathological liar and admitted it; yet there was at the end of the trial a great doubt that he did NOT tell, in the main, the truth about Alger Hiss, in THIS case. e ' And that is what convicted Hiss the doubt that Chambers In this particular Instance was lying. And the strength of that doubt made any REASONABLE doubt of Hiss' guilt, difficult it not impossible. So at last we find ourselves In agreement with former Senator John Foster Dulles a rare experience. Dulles, who appeared against Mr. Hiss near the close of the trial, on being informed of the verdict said: "The conviction of Alger Hiss is a human tragedy. "It Is tragic that so great promise should have come to so inglorious an end. "But the greater tragedy Is that seemingly our national Ideals no longer inspire the loyal devotions needed for their defense." "SEEMINGLY" yes. But perhaps sometime in the future when, not only a clearer perspective but more of the facts of the case have been obtained; it will be realized that what SEEMED to be true as of today, was not completely true. In other words, It may be found disloyalty, the calculated desire to injure and betray one's country were not the compelling motives in the Hiss (nor the Coplon) tragedies of this post-war era. It was rather a strange susceptibility to Communist propa ganda that convinced so many of our most intelligent and sensitive young people, that not only was Communism the "wave of the future,' but that to advance the cause of Soviet Russia (partic ularly at the time Hitler Nazism threatended to conquer the world) would be to ultimately benefit and perpetuate the cause of free democracy everywhere. As World War II approached and Soviet Russia was for the first time recognized by the U.S.A., it is conceivable that Alger Hiss was not the onlv subordinate in the State Dpnnrt other upper branches of the government who swallowed this Soviet propaganda bait, hook and sinker, agreed with Whittaker Chambers that the end justified the means, and that to make missian resistance to xsazi uermany stronger would be to make in the end, American democracy stronger and thereby more secure. We said "PERHAPS." In other words it mav become nlr-nr In timo that tho roi vllllans in these shocking adolescent dramas, were not the Hisses and the Coplons, but the Whittaker Chambers and other Soviet spies and conspirators, for they sowed their propaganda poison so cleverly, selected their victims so skillfully, and followed out in structions from the Kremlin so faithfully that thev won sensational success in the most unlikely quarters, convincing not one but many groups of American youth, that to give aid to Soviet Russia clandestinely while not exactly cricket, was not morally wrong, for the net result would be to destroy Nazism, and advance the cause of human welfare and betterment, not onlv on the other side of the Atlantic, but this. A bit far fetched? Possibly. But we mlllht call to mind who, we feel sure, would not so Please page Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh! R.W.R.

"Trust a woman or an epi taph before you put your faith in critics.' So advised Lord Byron. I do not share His Lord ship's cynicism as to critics. As theatrical fan of lone standing 1 have put my faith in drama critics for many years. I have relied upon them to guide me to tne good shows and steer me away from the bad ones. They have rarely failed me. However, some of the current crop of Man hattan drama critics have me slightly confused. Trying to fig ure out whether they consider a show good or bad is like bat tling with a crossword puzzle.

This week I would like to tell you of what I know of Koscinsko, Attala county, "Miss-e-sippi." I should know because my wife was born and raised there. I lived there a short tfme. My brother-in-law was sheriff of that county. Now I will predict that those two gangsters will never see the judge.

TELL. jryJ FLAKES by Roland Co iMmtiiMiiitMiiiHiaiHifiiil II.I.IIII.IIIIIMIMMIIIM review with this summing-up sentence: "It may not be as en tertaining as it seems." As It Was. Today I had a glimpse of the sports page of a New York news paper dated September 1, 1899. At that time there were twelve clubs in the National League. What club do you think was leading the league on that day and date? Why, sir, none other than Brooklyn. At that time the Brooklyn team's nickname was not the Dodgers, but the "Su perbas." The line-up of the Su perbas on Sept. 1, 1899 was as follows: Fielder Jones, cf; "Wee Willie" Keeler, rf; Hughey Jen nings, lb; Kelly, rf; Daly, 2b; "Bad Bill" Dahlen, ss; Casey, 3b; "Duke" Farrell, catcher; Hughes, pitcher. Auto History. Do you consider yourself well informed on automobile history? All right, tell us what was the lowest priced car ever sold in this country? Incidentally, in 1938 one automobile manufac turer announced his Intention of putting on the market a three wheeled car, which would go sixty miles on a gallon of gas and have tires guaranteed for one hundred and twenty-five thousand miles! This unusual automomobile" was scheduled to sell for three hundred and fifty dollars. The war stymied the manufacturer's plans. Asking, Queries from clients. Q. Do your Horses & Women experts believe short hair-dos more at tractive for women than long hair? A. The majority of our H & W experts favor long hair for females. They maintain it is more feminine and has a greater male attraction appeal than the closely clipped style. Q. What is the origin of the expression "Pin his ears back"? A, Your query baffles me. Q. You are trying to think of a feminine niglit club entertainer whose height is six feet, seven inches. Isn't that Lois De Fee? A. No, sir. Lois isn't that tall. I think she is about six feet four. Incidentally there is a non-professional, a teen-age fe male of Spencer, N. C, named Melba Overcash, who is six feel seven inches tall. Melba plays for her high school basketball team. In a recent game she scored forty-five field goals and twelve free throws! Stogie Department. "Only two flew hotels, the Statler in Washington and the Shamrock in Houston, Tex., have been built in this country in the past ten years."

Says Ray: "The Mapes Hotel, Reno, Nev., was built within the past ten years." Southpaws. There are over 50,000 left handed golfers in this country. That's what E. T. Miller, of Bal timore, claims. He should know as he is one of the officials of the National Association of Left Handed Golfers. Mr. Miller also says the southpaw golfers have a magazine all their own. He further states the reason there have not been many champion southpaw golfers is that natural ly lefthanded players were talk ed into being right-handed play ers by their instructors. Ben Ho gan, says Mr. Miller, is naturally a southpaw. And there are many other outstanding golfers, some of them champions, who are left handed but play right-handed. Education Speed-Up In Germany Planned Washington, Jan. 25 (U.R) The United States plans a step-ped-up program of education in democracy to beat a resurgence of nationalism in Germany. Its plans were tdiscl03ed by John J. McCIoy, U. S. high com missioner in Germany, in a re port to the American people last night. "It is my intention to re-invigorate our whole program in this field," he said in a radio address. "We shall use all our power and resources and they are large to help the schools and universities, the trade unions and churches, the press and radio." He said this will help "en courage the best Germans," and nut down the nationalism evi dent among both extreme right ists and leftists in western tier- many. Administration Willing To Advance Only Economic Aid Washington, Jan. 25 (U.R) Secretary of State Dean Acheson said today the administration is willing to advance economic aid but not arms to Chinese na tionalists on Formosa. Chairman Tom Connally, (D., Tex.), said the secretary told the senate foreign relations com mittee that he was "agreeable" to extend until June 30 the avail ability of about $106,000,000 in China aid funds now held by the economic cooperation adminis tration. Without congressional action, they will revert to the treasury on February 15. Agreement Seen Changs Cnnnallv said that about $28.- 000,000 of the funds appropriated by congress for China last year could be utilized for aid to For mosa. Acheson's agreement to ex lending economi! aid appeared somewhat of a change from Presi dent Truman's recent policy statement on Formosa. Mr. Tru man said that only economic as sistance already provided by con gress would be available. But Acheson said the administration will yield to the extent of per mitting extension for using the funds. There was no indication that Mr. Truman's policy against di rect U. S. military intervention, arms aid, or military advice for Formosa had been altered in any manner. Western Union Rates To Change February 1 The Western Union Telegraph company has announced that new rates will go into effect Feb. 1, 1950, to "insure equal charges for equal distances and eliminate present inconsistencies in this respect." The new schedules filed with the federal communications com mission will completely revise the company's interstate tele graph message rate structure. The commission said that in Western Union's present rate pattern as many as four or five rate zones may overlap, so that different rates apply between pairs of points the same distance apart. Also, rates in the western Dart of the country are higher than those in the east in rela tion to distance, according to the FCC. Under the new schedule, the rate mileages are determined by air-line distances between cen ters of rate blocks 50 miles square. It will do away with the present overlapping rate zones, and message telegraph charges will be the same between equi distant points. Changes will in volve some increases and some cuts in rates. Commie Junks Sunk, Nationalists Claim Tapel. Formosa, Jan. 25. (U.R) Nationalist communiques claim ed today that more than 80 Chin ese communist junks and ships were sunk or captured in air and sea raids along China's eastern coast within the past 24 hours. An air communique said 50 beats and junks were sunk in a raid on Chapu, on the northeast shore of Hangchow bay south of Shanghai. A navy communique said na tionalist warships raided the Hangchow bay area and nearby communist-occupied islands, cap turing seven large craft and sink ing 23 others, i LOANS Start the New Year with a clean slate.

License M-362 License S-2IS PHONE 2-IIS4 All Washington Eyes Test Hearing On Unfair Trade Practices Act Olympia, Jan. 25 (U.R) Attor- nery General Smith Troy and Washington's retail trade world are keeping an anxious eye on an action testing the constitu tionality of the state's unfair practices act, Basically, the case involves whether or not the state can legally prevent a retail store from stimulating business by using "loss leaders." A loss lead er generally is known as an item sold below cost to attract customers to the store, with the idea of making up the loss on that item with the increased volume of total sales. Hearing February t The question will be heard To Nationalists Acheson also told the commit tee that the highest Chinese com munist authorities had been ap praised in advance of the "ser iousness" with which the U. S. would regard seizure of U. S. consular property at Peiping. The warning was unavailing. The communists seized consular of fices and the U. S. in return or dered recall of its personnel in China. The committee also discussed the administration's request for reversing the house defeat of the $60,000,000 Korean aid bill. Connally said Acheson was not prepared to comment on a senate proposal to write aid for south ern Korea into a pending mea sure extending availability of the China economic funds. Although the secretary was de scribed as "not adverse"" to ex tension of more economic aid to the nationalists on Formosa, Connally said the question of spending $75,000,000 in arms funds for China and that "gen eral area, was not discussed. In the Day's By FRANK JENKINS Winston Churchill opens the Conservatives' campaign for the big British election next month with a warning against "another plunge into socialist regimenta tion." ... He calls for a "return to free enterprise to win us back the glorious ascendency that marked the rise of the British empire." ... He declares that socialism is the weakest defense against communism and is being discarded ip the rest oi the Brit ish commonwealth and in most of Europe." IN Churchill's matchless oratory it was undoubtedly more thrill and was probably more convinc ing, but reading the dispatches telling of the speech leaves one a little let down. It sounds like free enterprise is being as badly sold to Britons as to Americans. I HAVE the feeling that in this country too many opponents of the welfare state are against it because it is BAD FOR THEM. They are like the salesman whose strongest argument is that HE WILL MAKE AN AWFULLY NICE COMMISSION FOR HIM SELF if he can only, talk the customer into buying the mer chandise. Any expert on salesmanship will tell you that is wrong. The customer doesn't care a hoot what it will do for the salesman. The customer is solely interested in what the merchandise that is under consideration will do for HIM. If we are going to keep free enterprise in this country, we're going to have to convince the kind of people who HAVE THE MOST VOTES that free enter prise will be better for them than the creeping socialism we seem to be headed for. If that isn't done, free enter prise is a dead duck. HERE'S an interesting dispatch from China: "Nan Han-Chen, a member of the COMMUNIST People's Bank of Nanking, recently told a group of officials that North China farmers are paying at least 20 per cent of their TOTAL PRO DUCTION in taxes. WHO WANTS MONEY? (YOU'D BE SURPRISED) that 4 out of 5 who apply not only WANT IT but GET IT. And that's the way I like to see It . . . because after all "Money" Is my only merchandise and lending "Cash" my only business . . . and money is generally needed, for one thing or another. Then again I do like to say "yes," in fact I say "Yes" to 4 out of 5 and whether It's a small loan for a few weeks or a larger loan for as long as 20 months you can depend on one thing my sincere desire to say "Yes" and to make the loan Your Way. If you do need "Extra Cash" for any worthwhile purpose stop in and let's chat about It ... of course if you're in a hurry just pick up the phone and call me and I'll try and arrange it the same day. Oregon Finance Co. Phone 2-4433 Craterian Bldg. 45 S. Central Lie. S-211 M-217 February 8 In Benton county superior court where Safeway stores of Kennewick is charged with selling cigarettes and short ening for less money than Safe way hd to pay for the items. The Unfair Trade Practices Act, passed by the 1939 legisla ture, among other things out laws the sale of goods below cost in retail stores. But during the 11 years the law has been on the books it never has been strictly enforced. Troy, long interested in en forcement of the law, wanted another test of its effectiveness and he appointed a special as sistant attorney general to bring the action in Benton county. As Thurston county prosecutor in 1940, Troy was the first to get the new law before the su preme court; The high court de clared the law constitutional in a five-to-four decision, Court Overruled However, about a year ago the Pierce county superior court de clared the law unconstitutional despite the supreme court's ruling. The Pierce county court felt because the supreme court personnel had changed, the court's ruling also would change. But the question was not heard again in the supreme court be cause the parties involved agreed to have the appeal dismissed. In the case now before the Benton county superior court. Safeway admits selling cigarettes and shortening below cost. But Safeway insists the law is un constitutional and should not be enforced. Regardless of who wins the case, it seems -certain the su preme court will have to rule on the issue again. The Washington Retail Gro cers' association, made up mostly of independent grocers, looks up on the unfair trade practices law as a protector and has been strong for its enforcement. Independent grocers are in clined to feel business techniques such as loss leaders are available only to chain stores because smaller stores lack the large sales volumes. News "He added that it takes the taxes of 30 farmers merely to feed and clothe one soldier, ex clusive of ammunition." THE dispatch is interesting, I'd say, because it indicates that in China the commies are going to have quite a job in convincing the Chinese farmers that COM MUNISM IS GOOD FOR THEM. Under the circumstances de scribed in this dispatch, it looks like in China the communists are for communism because it is GOOD FOR ' THEM. I wouldn't blame the Chinese farmer if he were skeptical of the communist arguments. - - ,. ANYWAY, if we're going to a"- keep free enterprise over here, we've got to make it per fectly clear that free enterprise Is better for ALL THE PEOPLE and not just better for business people. 4 DRAWER Steel Filing Cabinets $39.50 YOUR OFFICE BOY 115 West Main St. SERVICE On f rlgidair rang, and rtfrigar ton.
