Eisenhow er has only to say the word nnd congress probably will respond with a boost in military spending." w HY? The answer to that Is obvious. Our economy-minded people (there are a few sincere ones) HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GEN ERAL EISENHOWER. They feel that he isn't concerned either with keeping his party in power or GETTING HIS PARTY INTO POWER. His primary concern, they be lieve, is with the welfare of the United States of America. OUR STATE department is get ting into quite a lot of hot water. Part of it is POLITICAL hot water. The republicans un fortunately, are making political medicine out of it. The demo crats hope to confound the re publicans and turn their at tempted medicine-making back onto them. Most of us who are neither hell-and-hlgh-water republicans nor hell-and-hlgh-water demo crats have the feeling that the state department, maybe, Isn't quite all it ought to be and wish It were a little better than it Is. POSSIBLY It is the traditional state department atmosphere that Is at fault. Somehow screw balls Just naturally tend to con gregate In state departments (which elsewhere In the world are called "foreign offices.") It could be the striped pants. It could be the rigid protocol that prevails in such places. In date department affairs, you know, everybody must Lit In juitl One of the things helping to make Los Angeles a great city is the methodical way in which its mdus try leaders not only go after customers but endeavor to keep their customers happy. a a fTJNE of the means used in keeping the buyers of Los Angeles-made goods in a receptive mood is by pointing out to them that the y,UUU manufacturers and processors in the Los Angeles area constitute an un believably vast market for the raw materials coming from adjacent states. In order to get this message of reciprocal interest into the areas with which the California metropolis trades, six men from the L.A. Chamber of Commerce are presently in the field, calling on retailers and other buyers of both soit and hard goods. a a a HTHE chamber representatives inquire as to the serv- n rr leanAavnA Vtnvflfc iirViofViQa rrnnrla aim. plied are up to standard or expectations, whether packaging and other shipping practices are satisfac tory and whether transportation time and charges are in line. "NE such representative, whose territory includes Oregon and Washington, told this writer yester day that studies by his chamber's domestic trade de partment show Oregon products purchased in Los Angeles and immediate vicinity in 1948 were worth well over $70,000,000. Although 1948 is the last year for which figures are complete, the 1949 study not yet beine finished, it is expected that the 1949 total will be approximately as large. aaaae "REG0N raw and finished material and produce sold in Los Angeles in 1948 included 1,045,450,- 000 board feet of lumber which brought $65,288,800. Second largest item was dairy and poultry products, totaling $1,674,961. Fruits and vegetables brought $1,375,788; livestock $1,352,511 and fish and other sea food about $1,000,000. Of the eleven states outside California covered by the Los Angeles surveys, Oregon ranked second in supplying products and material, being topped only by Utah with $97,152,789. The latter state's total was made up largely of values represented by steel, pig iron and livestock. E.C.F. Warning to Minors The experience of a 17-year-old Jefferson girl with a circulation campaign agency for two national magazines ought to get widespread publication so it can serve as a warning to other youngsters tempted by promises of travel, adventure and big money. Irene that's her name came to Salem some weeks ago to answer to an advertisement asking for circulation campaign crew members under 25 years of age and free to travel. From Salem the crew, which included two married couples, Irene and a Salem girl, went to Washington, Idaho and Montana where they "worked" college campuses although (she said) the crew knew it was unlawful in most instances to do so. She relates that it was a policy that if a salesperson was jailed for failing to register with the police as re quired, the agency would pay the bail but that the solicitor had to repay the firm. Irene said she earned $28 in six clays of Selling and was still in debt to the company. Irene was gone for two weeks and her family had no idea where she was, according to the Albany Democrat-Herald. They were afraid she hight have been held by a "white slave outfit" and called police and a private detective to try to find her. Well, Irene was lucky. She got home all right, and the agency even paid her bus fare back to Jef ferson. But some other 17-year-old kid might not be so lucky in the experience and in their employers. There have been cases when girls were hired by itinerant groups and then were never heard from again. Par ents should make sure the employers of their minor children are reputable firms, and youngsters ought not to hire themselves out to agencies about which they know nothing. Oregon (Salem) Statesman.. Crosstown by Roland Cos "What'i the matter something not defrosted enough?" MiiiilltiiiiiitttMUMis MiiHMitiiMinn On the Side"8" E v Dwr,in (Distributed by Klnf Features Syndicate, lacj , IIH,l,ll,l,ltlllll,tlll,l,MII his right place at the table. No body whose "right place" is tra ditionally BELOW THE SALT must ever be placed ABOVE THE SALT. And so on. AT ANY RATE, the business of state departments and for eign offices is diplomacy. Diplo macy Is the contact of nations with nations. It is heavily weighted with tradition and precedent. Politics and foreign affairs ("foreign policy" is the custom arily accepted term) should nev er be mixed. When stirred to gether, they are highly explo sive. The pages of history fairly reck with examples of that. Personally, I have the feeling that here in America In these critical times, we are trying to mix our Internal polities with our foreign policy. If we keep that up. the lime will come when we will wish we hadn't. COR THE past week, these fancy new rainmakers who pin their faith to "seeding" clouds with dry ice has been sit ting with finger on trigger in New York waiting for a chance to try their stuff. Thev have been stymied by the fact that EVERY DAY IT HAS RAINED hard. You Just can't tell what the weather will do. rvOWN In Los Angeles a guy who has been out of a job for ten weeks found $27,000 in negotiable stocks the other day and didn't have carfare money which to hunt up the owner and give the stocks back to him. SO HE SOLD A PINT OF HIS BLOOD AT A HOSPITAL FOR $4, and used the money for trav el expenses to locate him and give his property back! IT TAKES all kinds of people to make a world, and this Los Angeles man is the RIGHT KIND. Orientation Courses For Volunteers Set Officers of the volunteer serv ices of the local Red Cross chap ter announced today that an orientation class for volunteer Hod Cross workers will be held Monday, April 3. at 10 a.m., in Room 48 of the Medford senior high school. The officers ex plained that orientation classes are required before volunteers can qualify for active service in any branch of volunteer work. Kirs. Justin Smith will conduct Monday's two -hour lecture course. Mrs. I. E. Schuler, chairman of volunteer services, urges all volunteer chairmen tn attend a meeting to be held Tuesday, April 4. in the home of Mrs. A. E.

We breezed down here bv plane, nonstop, in three hours and forty-five minutes. My girl friend and I had an easy, pleas ant trip. It was a little bit tough er for Timothy, the world's most remarkable black and white springer spaniel. He traveled in a portable doghouse, up front in a compartment near the pilot. However, he came through all right. Five minutes after he was off the plane he was rolling around in the grass. Twenty-five minutes after that he consumed a hearty meal. Considering it was the first time he had traveled on a plane or in a container, he cov ered himself with glory. A re markable animal. Grim Winter This has been rather a grim winter for us. After I was knocked over by the shingles my girl friend was floored by a virus infection. So we were both flat on our backs at the same time. The weather was terrible; cloudy, dreary, cold and rainy practically every day. Also all the time we were sick the so prano next door and her pupils kept screaming night and day, including Sunday. Little House We are domiciled in a little house about a block from the ocean on one side and across from a polo training field on the other. The stable boys had the polo ponies out for exercise early this morning. Quite a picturesque sight. I am a polo fan of long standing. I saw my first polo game when I was around eight years old. That was when polo was played on the parade grounds in Prospect park, Brook lyn. Second Trip This is only the second time I have been in Florida. Strangely enough the first time I ever vis ited this state was in the sum mertime. I made a trip from Cali fornia to Galveston, Tex., by train that time. From Galveston I took a steamship to New York and this boat stopped for seven hours at Miami. It was pretty hot in the city of Miami that June day, but it wasn't so bad at Mi ami Beach. Taking It Easy My girl friend and I have both been instructed to take it easy. That is something I do very well. That ailment, so trivially re ferred to as the "shingles," is a tough proposition to completely overcome, but I am gaining on it. My girl friend is coming along nicely. We are about 35 miles from the Gulf Stream race track. We will probably ride down there in a few days to look the noble animals over. You are not supposed to get excited when convalescing from the shingles. However, I never get excited at a race track. When you have a MIHIIIinilMimillllMtMH,,' system like mine there is no ne cessity for excitement. It just runs like clockwork. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Editor mast bear the name and addresie of the writer although under certain circum stances the use of a pen name or Initial for publication la permis sible. The Mall Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and conden sation. Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words Dissatisfaction Regretted To the Editor: In response to the letters recently published in this column, about a certain con testant on the amteur hour, we regret to hear that some folks are dissatisfied with the choice of the public. It was known some time ago that the final contestant would be chosen by an applause meter and the audience attending the show that evening. As members of that audience, we believe we chose the contestant having the most talent and the ability to go the farthest. According to ethics, we should all get behind him as our repre sentative, and be his friend, win or lose. If it should happen that he is eliminated at Portland, we trust that we can take our dis appointment with good spirits. Miss Kathleen Hicks Dale Davis DST Save Nothing To the Editor: I liked Mr. Vin son's letter in The Mail Tribune about democracy: also your ed itorial. It seems to me that the 129 signers of the petition rep resent big business versus labor, as the Central Labor council and others of the labor organizations representing 3.000 people got nowhere at the meeting of Med ford's council. D. S. T. was forced through over objections of others. Per haps it's expensive to call a vote on D. S. T. but it should be done and let the time stay standard or D. S. T. the year round. It makes more hardships on some, espe cially the ones in rural areas Pnllfnrnlu annnnllv imnnrta 1,500,000,000 board feet of lum-1 ut'i Hum wie I dtuiu iiuiuiweaii Here Now!

Either way you look at it, D. S. T. doesn't pay. You save nothing, neither do you gain any thing. This last law passed by the council is like the 80th and 81st congress. We. the people, voted for Harry S. Truman's pro gram, but did we get it? No, be cause we didn't elect enough Senator Morses. Gladys Hamilton. Laws Too Gentle To the editor: Regarding the kidnaping and killing of JoAnn Dewey. I believe our laws are all together too easy. I should think the people that heard her screaming for help would be troubled in conscience. In view of the terrible things that are happening e'ery day It's ioo bad they were so unconcerned. O. F.
