S. 1)1 tiv day urged President Truman to junk his loyalty program and start over with a top board to in clude republicans chosen by the party's "recognized leaders." Mundt, who participated In the house un-American activities committee inquiry' into the Aliior Hiss case, maintained that Mr. Truman's program of loyally checks for government em ployees has proven to be an "in effective device." The present set-up has be come "almost completely dis credited," he said, and a new ap proach is needed to meet the challenge of communism. He cited the perjurv indict ment a New York era net Jury re turned against William Reming ton, commerce department em ployee who had been given a loyalty clearance after he denied charges that he was a communist.

With fear In our hearts we watched those flames coming closer and closer to all of our buildings. We felt that nothing short of a miracle could possibly save them. But the miracle did happen. The fire department re sponded with such speed that il was amazing and in what seemed no time at all that roaring In ferno was brought under control. While It Is depressing to go through the rubble that Li left of the shop where so many happy hours were spent we are clean ing up the mess with lest. I say lest because our home Is stand ing without so much as a blister Words would be Inadequate to describe our Immeasurable gra' itude to the Rogue River lit department. Without them toda w would have only charred Beta Association Formed in Valley Members of Beta Theta PI, national social fraternity, organ ised a group to he known as the Rogue Valley Beta association at a meeting held yesterday noon at the Rogue Valley Country club. Honor guest at the meeting was Dr. G. Herbert Smith, na tional president of the fraternity and president of Willamette uni versity. Dr. Smith was in the city to speak for commencement of ' Medford senior high school last evening. Norton Smith of Medford was named president of the new group .and George Wilson, also Medford, was made secretary. Thirteen men were present. ashes. And so we all say "thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Dr. and Mrs. A. P. Klomhaus, Rogue River. Ore. MONEY CANT BUYAIRINlHAf BY FRANK JENKINS From Washington: "Doubt settled deeper on Cap itol Hill today that there will be any excise tax cutting this year at all." w HATS it all about? Well, excise taxes are those nasty things you pay when you eo to the store and buy turs. jewelry, luggage, toilet prepara tions, movie tickets, tires, tubes, baby bottle warmers and heaven knows how many other things. You come away from the store griped no end because if you hadn't had to pay the tax your money would have gone farther. Knowing this, everybody in Washington WANTED to cut ex cise taxes this election year. President Truman wanted to cut 'em about 650 million dol lars worth and make up the dif ference somewhere else pre ferably by more taxes on the wicked corporations. The house ways and means committee (all of its members facing the voters this year and wanting to be re-elected) got started cutting excise taxes and ran its tentative total up to $1,134,000,000 before it had time to catch its breath. We're expected to go five or six billions into the hole anyway this year and cutting another billion off of revenue would up the deficit a billion more unless NEW taxes are levied and new taxes are always dangerous things to monkey with in elec tion years. Hence the dilemma mentioned in the Washington dispatch. PERSONALLY, I lean to the belief that until congress can get up its nerve to CUT SPEND ING it should restrain its campaign-year yearnings to cut tax- WEATHER By United Press Northern California: Partlv cloudy today, tonight and Satur day with light showers from Eu reka and Mount Shasta north to day and from Ukiah and Red Bluff north and in northern Sier ras today: warmer in the interior today; west to northwest winds 10-20 MPH off coast, except southwesterly from San Francis co north today and tonight.

The nnlv wav tn reduce our 250-odd billion dollar national ! debt is to take it out of our hides, j SPEAKING of spending, this more or less interesting little dispatch comes from Portland: "Oregon's federal district court can't hold any jury trials there's no money for jurors. Judge James Alger Fee left yes terday for Klamath Falls, but will hear only the pending case in which juries are not required "The federal court clerk ex plained that the annual congres sional appropriation for pay ment of jurors has been ex hausted. THE COURT IS BROKE and will be until more money is appropriated." H OW come? Well, you see, it's this way: This is an even-numbered year. In even-numbered years, ALL the members of the house of rep resentatives and a third of the members of the senate have to go before the voters for re election. In this modern day and age. it is accepted as a truism among the professionals that the way to get re-elected is to figure up a lot of glamorous new 'ways to spend money. There's nothing clamorous about federal court jury trials. In fact, a whale of a i lot of our voters would never j miss 'em if they were done away with entirely. Probably, after its election worries are over, congress may get around to digging up enough money to hire jurors to try our federal court cases. But such things will have to wait until the really important business of No government business is or 1 ever will be as important as get ting re-elected.
