With the advent of better flying weather the Mail Tribune has been asked to urge upon the United Air Lines the need for an early morning flight to Portland. Only two planes leave here for the state metropolis on the present U.A.L. schedule flight 159 departing at 1:20 p.m., and flight 175 at 6:15 p.m. COUTHERN Oregonians having business to trans act in Portland are usually unable to get much done after arriving at 3:25 on flight 159, this mean ing that they must stay overnight, spending the whole afternoon and night away from home without accom plishing anything except travel and lull time. The later flight, 175, does not help matters particularly, except that a smaller portion of the day is lost at this end of the line. AN EARLY morning flight, which got travelers to Portland for nearly a full day of business, was tried last year but with indifferent success as to pat ronage, the lack of passengers on that flight was probably clue to failure to fully acquaint people of this area with its advantage, or so say those inter ested, who hope to see the experiment tried again. . E.C.F. A Good Man The recent appointment of Al Crose to succeed Claude Murphy as real estate commissioner for Ore gon meets with general approval throughout the state i it-. i HT.ir i ...t ". ana especially nere in xueuiuiu wnere wuse irameu for a number of years before going to Salem in 1928. THE new commissioner has a splendid background for his position. He was engaged in the real estate and insurance business here and upon going to Salem served as property manager for the old World War I veterans state aid commission for a time. Later he was with the state land board when it handled the winding up of the former agency and in later years he has been in the state department of veterans' af fairs where he has had charge of lending. The appointment by Governor McKay, which is in the nature of a promotion, comes as well-merited recognition of many years of efficient and conscienti ous state, service. E.C.F. Seaside Had Sea Monster Too Final identification of DeLake's sea monster as a badly beaten up portion of long defunct whale, re calls to Harold Haynes, Astorian Budget columnist, a somewhat similar Seaside visitor. Back in 1920, says Haynes, the granddaddy of all sea monsters came rolling in from the ocean's deeps to uncoil its 35 feet of slithering tentacles on the sands about 2000 feet south of the Turnaround. "THE Seaside monster was unlike anything known to local ichthyologists or mammalogists. It had a cow-like head and its nightmarish body was covered with tawny hair or fur. Unlike the DeLake arrival, the Seaside monster defied all efforts at identification and after being viewed by thousands of townspeople and visitors there was agreement on only one phase, the "whatzit" was, beyond all doubt very, very dead. Acknowledg ing the soundness of the latter finding, the mayor called a city work crew and ordered the remains in terred. ' E.C.F. Biggest Flag-Burning Since 1912 Seen If Two New States Admitted Washington, Mar. 1 4 (U.R) The United States may be head ed toward the biggest flag-burning since Arizona joined in the Union in 1012. If the congress decides to grant statehood to Hawaii and Alaska, that means a new flag. A new flag means that it's bad manners to fly an old one any more. Problems Posed The only decent thinR to do is to burn the old ones. It's against the law to touch an old, Old Cilory to the ground and it's con sidered unpatriotic to pitch it on an ash heap or sew it up into a nightie. All of which poses a lot of problems. I railed C. H. Board, a vice president of Annul and Company in New York. Anuin makes more (lag than anybody. Heard was in a great old tizzy. "We don't know." said he, "whether cither Hawaii or Alas ka will be tacked onto the Un ion But if one or the other or both are, we've got a big Job to do." Heaven knows, he aid. how many flags there are in the country half a billion, maybe He added Hint he wasn't too much worried about the new business that would come his company's way if the flag takes on another star, or two. Everybody would have to have a new flag. Adding a slur at a time would be loir with Beard, because it would add up to good business double busint'sv Looks Futuri In Eye Heard is a man who looks the future squarely in the eye. He's already got up a couple of samples If only one new state Is added it would be comparatively sim- Kir, since any rolleite graduate nnws that seven times seven equal 4l. That would make sev en rows of stars. II both Hawaii and Alaska are added to the Union at once. Beard, apparently a math sharp, has that all figured out. too. "We'd have five rows of star with 10 stars In each row. Both of these Mhrs look mighty pret tymighty pretty." Tu.idir. Much 14. 1IS0 For The Job Beard said that his company has received all kinds of letters since the matter came up. Some people have suggested putting a little extra space on top of the flag and adding the stars one at a time as we add ncv states. Another person proposed that ' we leave the blue space the way I it is and crowd in the extra stars. I "We still don't know what we're going to do. The last new flags came out on executive or der in 1912. after Arizona was admitted to the Union on Febru ary 14." j Not Consulted I Here in the capital Arthur E. j Dubois, chief of the heraldic i branch of the quartermaster gen eral corps, might get the Job of rc-dosigning a new flag. He said, however, that nobodv yet has consulted hiin about it. He said the president could create a spe 'cial commission or assign the Job I to the fine arts commission or I congress could step in and take over. Other problems came up, too. j For Instance, take St. Louis and Chicago, Some newspapers in (these cities alreadv refer to their ureas as the "49th state." licp. Frank M. Karstens, demo crat, of St. Louis, spoke for his i city. I "K both go In. we'll just call 1 St. l.ooey the 51st state, he said. I Pope Pius Observes Uth Year Of Reign I Vatican Citv. Mar. 14 iU.R Pope Pius MI celebrated the I 11th anniversary of his reign yesterday In a solemn ceremonv , attended by thousands of Holy I Year pilgrims and the highest I church aristocracy, j The anniversary of the pon tiffs coronation fell Sunday, but j the ceremonies were postponed until yesterday because thev I never are held on the Sahbatii , during the holy season of Lent. !

Ariz., Mar. 14 (U.R) Truant officers went back to chasing the occasional straying student today as nearly 100 chil dren, saved from starvation by the warm-hearted generosity of a nation, filled nearby Avon dale and Tolleson schools. Unscuffcd shoes, warm sweat ers and newly creased slacks and skirts were spotted among stu dents in each classroom, marking the children found near starva tion in farm labor camps. Arid while the grateful chil dren looked forward to a noon meal from a full lunch pail, the Arizona legislature began con sideration of the condition s which brought the mass desti tution. A special senate committee checked the camps this morning and announced it would have a report to make to the legislature soon. Boundary Changes Asked By Indians Portland, Ore., Mar. 14 (U.R) E. A. Towner, of Portland newly elected chairman of the To-Ncy Indians, today called for bound ary changes in his tribe's land! before apportionment of Slfl, 500,000 among the four Silet? tribes begins. Congress voted recently to re pay the Indians for lands seized in' 1855. The Too-Too-To-Neys contend their ancestral lands ex tended further north than the present boundary. Revision would give descendants of the original tribe a larger slice ol the appropriation, Towner is also chairman of the general council of the con federated Siletz Indian tribes. Each of the four tribes is draw ing up rolls of bona fide descend ants who will share in the pay ments.

Mar. 14 ,UR) Fordham university seismolo gists reported today they record ed two earth shocks last night, occurring 3,200 miles south ol New York, probably near the border ol Ecuador and Peru. by Roland Co ' .j friend has the prieo of a movie HIMSELF1" News ning Post a while back about the butler in the British embassy in Ankara (capital of Turkey) who looted the ambassadors safe every night and peddled all the allies top secrets to the uermans for a good stiff price? He gave our enemies the low- down- on about everything we were doing and were going to do. The way he did it was good. Pressing the ambassador's pants one night, he found a key and made a duplicate of it. It turned out to be the kev to the legation's MOST SECRET SAFE. The foxy butler rifled it every mm: iiiv ii;iiia were i time the lights were turned off ad kept the krauts rjght up tQ the minute on everything we had up our sleeves. HOW did he keep on getting away with it? Well, it seems that British am bassador HAD ABSOLUTE CON FIDENCE IN THE BUTLER'S INTEGRITY. Whenever he'd put two and two together it would look to him and to everybody around him like there MUST BE A LEAK, but he just couldn't bring himself to believe that his butler was off color. That created the PERFECT atmosphere for the butler to work in. THIS screed today isn't polit ical. It is intended to be philosophical and reflective. So I hope 1 won't be accused of seek ing to blacken Mr. Truman's ad ministration when I suggest that State Secretary Acheson's su preme confidence in Alger Hiss falls into the same class as the British ambassador's supreme confidence in his butler. We admire men who have su preme confidence in their friends. That is the way human relations ought to work. When we have confidence in a man, we ought to be willing to go the whole road for him. The British ambassador went the whole road for his butler. As a result the Germans kept right on getting the lowdown on our inside secrets. The British had supreme confidence in Dr. Fuchs. They trusted him with all the inside stuff on the atom bomb and sent him over here with their stamp of approval and we gave him the lowdown on our stuff. But he turned out to be a spy. just like the butler in Britain's embassy at Ankara. Secrets are just hard to keep. H ERE'S a thought: In spite of the butler who was tipping the Germans off to all our top drawer in the-privnte- cupboard stuff WE LICKED THEM IN THE END. We did it by out-producing them. "iNE can't help wondering if we wouldn't have been better off in the long run if we had been less elaborately secretive about the atom bomb and had devoted the energy we spent on SECRET- IVENESS to building up our ca pacity to make the bombs faster and better than anybody else on earth, including the Russians.

Perl - Frank Perl World Communist Party Organization Is Subject of Anti-Red Leader I (m InnitA The communist party is world organization, despite open claims to the contrary, and the ultimate aim of communists in this country is overthrow of the present government by force and violence, Capt. William D. Browne, chief of Portland police detectives, emphasized to armed forces, organized reservists, na tional guardsmen and other resi dents of the vicinity in a talk at the junior high school last night. In his lecture on "Truth About Communism," and in a later question and answer period, Browne said that there are 275 "professional -revolutionists" in Oregon by a party leader's own admission. He said that commun ists in Oregon are scattered among 60 to 65 communities and that he would not be surprised if there are communists in Med ford. "General Staff" The cominform is a "general staff" for world revolution and the communist party of the Unit ed States is a part of the world oreanization. Browne said. He said American communist' would like to have the public believe they have no connection with the cominform and the Soviet union but he pointed to Red pub lications that show the lie. Browne, an army reserve lieut enant colonel who has been fight ing subversive elements for 30 years, used communist textbooks and literature to illustrate the strategy, tactics and ultimate aim of party members. He outlined methods by which the communists plan .to create demoralization among leaders of the country and insurrection among the "masses," leading to union of the woritcrs ana sol diers, the arrest of the officers of the government ana me setung up of a new regime. Get Training Communists are trained to live and breathe the science of Marx ism, he exDlained. They are taught the necesesity of revolu tion to destroy the Bourgeois state. To them reform is only product of revolution, accord ing to Brownes intormation. Members of the party arc in structed to use the elements of surprise, and they pledge them selves in case of war to rally the masses to defend the Soviet union, he stressed. In event of war against the Soviet the task of communists The Grange Griffin Creek Grange Griffin Creek Grange met March 9. with large attendance.

Davidian, once an associate of Mickey Cohen, recently left Cohen to Join the Drngna "pang."

Communists in this country to day are entering politics heav ily, according to Browne. He said names in the progressive party are associated with some of the topflight leaders of the communist party. Reds are en couraged to run their candidates for election as a means of getting larger audiences, the speaker re vealed. Not Peaceful Do not believe it when the communists tell that they are a peaceful organization, Browne said. He pointed out that they have one story for the people and one for the comrads. The Soviet union seems bent on con vincing the world that the Unit ed States wants war and the So viet is trying to preserve peace, Browne declared. The commun ists preach United States dis armament when actually the So viet has more divisions. Browne outlined the program of youth training and indoctrina tion and mentioned a communist axiom that "who controls youth controls the future of the world." The communist organization of central committees, district com mittees, sections and clubs was told. In each club, according to Browne, members convene to dis cuss the jobs of each during a few days in meeting small groups and stirring up people. Com munists, he said, have a practi cal and realistic program for every day in their ultimate plan to destroy capitalism by force.

Browne advocated support of the Mundt-Ferguson bill as a means of making communists show how they get their money, where they spend it and who the members are. He stated that there is no law against being a communist party member, that to publish names of members in vades the privacy of the indivi dual, but that the names are known by the right people.
