Next Time Try Sno-Cats
Problems encountered by the army in its recent
test of men and machines in the far north are told in
a recent United Press story from Washington.
AMONG other things, those engaged in Operation
Suroorririar no tho OYPrm'soo. alnnnr tViO 3K0-rrnlp
stretch of road from Whitehorse to Northway, Alaska,
were termed, found that ground operations in such
country cannot be counted upon.
Deployment of troops
ragged terrain where mountains, marshes, deep snow
and forests serve as hazards. Either there must be a
new approach to the matter of transport over snow
or reliance must be placed mainly in paratroops.
TTHE war games revealed an urgent need on the part
of the U. S. Army for a better tracked vehicle
than the "weasel" the Washington story reveals. The
"weasels," underpowered and difficult to maintain,
suffered an estimated 50 per cent casualty rate. The
Canadian "penguin," another type of snow vehicle,
fared somewhat better, but its size made it hard to
maneuver off the Alcan highway.
PAR be it from us to make any suggestions to the
r mighty staff officers, but we wonder if they
know about Sno-Cats. The Sno-Cat is a comparatively
light, easily maneuvered, trustworthy and proven ve
hicle which can haul men and equipment over most
any snow conditions that may be encountered.
Oh, yes, we almost forgot to mention that Sno
Cats are manufactured right here in Medford.

A similar condition in

rOR a time it appeared that the republicans in con-

The time was ripe for a bold stand against a situation
which has become a national scandal.
But what happened?
The Lucas legislation which would have ended
subsidies until controls could have been imposed was
rejected, 28 Republicans joining with 15 Democrats
to adopt an amendment by

Washington Report
By Bob
Washington, Mar. 2 Should
the government seize the coal
mines? Yes, says Oregon's in
domitable Sen.
Morse. He feels
that the coun
try is in a "ser
ious economic
crisis" because
of the coal
strike and en
visages a seiz
ure as a matter
of necessity at
this time.
While he
Bob Dicker fears gov em
inent seizure, the Oregon sen
ator aays, "We are faced with a
crisis, and I think we have to
move in and seize the coal in
dustry as a last resort."
Fight Nationalisation
Although Morse calls for a
seizure, he stresses that it must
be only temporary. He doesn't
believe it is a step towards na
tionalization of the coal industry.
His pronouncement on this issue
was: "I will fight nationalization
to the last breath."
But how is this seizure to come

about? Would it merely be a
seizure by order of the president?
Or does the president have in
herent power to order such a
seizure?
According to Morse, the con
stitution of the United States
does not give the president im
plied power to order such a seiz
ure. It is his belief that legis
lative action is required. This
means congress would have to
act.
Another aspect of the seizure
problem examined by Morse was
the procedure to be employed.
He does not advocate a seizure
per se. The Oregon solon feels
that when the government seizes
the mines, it has an "obligation
and duty to determine the merits
of the dispute during the period
of seizure."
Objects to Taft-Hartley
He criticized the Taft-Hartley
law in its application to the coal
crisis. One of the features of the
law objected to by Morse is that
the miners are forced to go back
to work under the very condi
tions which they are striking
against. This procedure is in

equitable, he believes.
He advocates a finding of fact
and a granting of concession
wnicn appear to be Just and fair,
even during a seizure, or during
we iime mat, tne miners are
wonting under the compulsion
of a court injunction.
But even though he objects to
the existing labor law, Morse
has called for its strict enforce
ment. He says, "So long as it is
on the books, it must be follow
ed. And on this score he ac-
vuea me administration of being
delinquent.
Individual Miners Affected
As is .well known, Truman has
finally acted under the Taft
Hartley law and an ininnotinn
has issued. But the crisis has
continued because the miners
nave refused to follow the back-to-work
order. They say that the
injunction does not apply to them
individually.
On this count Morse also gave
a verdict. He said, "While some
lawyers say the individuals are
not affected, the language of the
Taft-Hartley law makes an in
junction under it applicable not
only to the officers of the union,
but to the workers themselves."
Greatest Defense Weapon
Morse also expressed his views
on our national defense situation.
ne caned a sound domestic econ
omy our greatest defense weap
on. Our national defense is "much
stronger than the American peo
ple think," he said, "but it does
need strengthening in many
places." He added, however, that
"military weapons alone are not
enough."
"We don't have a sound econ
omy at present," said Morse. He
labeled the five billion dollar de
ficit in the budget as "outrageaus
and indefensible."
He suggested removing the de
ficit by cutting expenditures
not by raising taxes. Some of
these specific proposals to cut
spending were:
1. An adoption of the Hoover
commission's recommendations,
which Morse says would save
three billion dollars.
2. Elimination of waste within
the military establishment by a
centralized accounting and cen
tralized procurement system.
Two billion could be saved here
according to Morse.
3. Adoption of the tax pro
gram espoused by the committee
on economic development.
Leads With Chin
These were some of the views
expressed by Sen. Wayne Morse
in a recent press interview.
While the positions he took were
important, probably more im
portant was the fact that Morse
still continues to lead with his
chin, notwithstanding his coming
re-election campaign.

a political philosophy all of his
own. When election time rolls

CENTRAL
Production Model Of
6-Jet Bomber Ready
Washington, Mar. 2 (U.P.)
The first production model of the
six jet, swept-wing medium
bomber, the B-47 "Stralojet,"
was completed today at Boeing's
Wichita, Kans., plant, the air
force here announced.
Air force engineers immediate
ly began a week-long inspection,
after which the plane will be put
through a test flight. The produc
tion model B147A is similar to
but more powerful than the two
experimental XB-47's which
have been flying for about two
years.
The production model has J-47
jet engines with 5,2000 pounds
thrust each, compared to the ex
perimental plant's J-35s with
4,000 pounds thrust. The produc
tion model also has more fuel
capacity which will increase its
combat radius over the "more
than 1,000 miles" of the XB-47.
One of the experimental strat
ojets set an unofficial transcon
tinental record by flying 2,289
miles from Moses Lake, Wash.,
air base to Andrews air base
near here in 3 hours and 45 min
utes an average speed of 607.8
miles per haur.
