THE UNITED STATES was forced into World War II on a Sunday morning by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Again, on a Sunday morning nine years later, the U.S.A. was forced to take military action, and participate in what may become World War III, by a Russian or at least a Russian-supported attack on bouth Korea. That act of unprovoked and infamous aggres sion by Japan proved to be Japan's colossal blunder . a. li?- 1. 1 J l 1 1 an acr, resulting in ner complete aeieai ana ruin. e e e 1X7HETHER the aggressive act by Soviet Russia will have similar results, or whether this prompt and decisive military counter action by the Truman administration will prevent another war, rather than invite it, remains to be seen. But now as then, this nation, doing everything in its power to prevent involvement in war, has been for ced against its will to take war action ; forced to aban don a program of peace and adopt one of war by the unwarranted aggression of another nation. A LSO NOW as then, because of this fact, it has the " moral support of a peace loving world and, here at home a disunited and dissentious country has be come overnight a united and determined even a gallant and inspired one.

THE fact that stock prices have held rather well in the face of such heavy selling as marked yester day's exchange session when over 4,800,000 shares changed hands, reveals that investor opinion is not at all predominantly bearish. It should be remembered that for every share of stock which is sold there has to be a buyer firmly convinced that he is getting a bargain. AS TO the nation's over all economic picture, such " a recognized authority as Sumner H. Slichter, Harvard economics professor, declares that a catastnche similar to that of 1929 could not take place today. Writing in the July issue of Coronet, Professor Slichter summarizes his reasons why a major depression would be unlikely as follows: Crosstown By Roland Coe - flUleaeeat1 tMdUtttl Nt Feet greet ftE "You can coma in and play, but try to walk on ih spots l walked on when I came in.

Craft Workshop Of Summer School Opening Monday The city schools' summer crafts workshop will open for a four weeks session Monday, July 3, Elliott Bee ken, assistant school superintendent, reported today. This program, coordinated with the summer school classes started this week, will be held at the Junior high under super vision of Mrs. Ptecla Medley.

Our economy is characterized bv a wide distribution of income. 3. Perhaps no nation in the world has set aside a larger part of its income to help the needy and the infirm than the United States. 4. Opportunity is one of the important ingredients in our economy. 5. The most important characteristic of our economy is freedom. 6. Our economy is rapidly improving its methods of production, thereby creating more products at less cost. 7. Our American economy is adaptable to new times and new methods, having an unlimited capacity for change. , e ASA result of the sound condition of our economy, Americans can, according to Slichter, look for ward to greatly increased output possibly as much as three percent per man-hour each year. Also, the working week will become shorter. In another generation, the 30-hour week will be generally adopted outside of agriculture. And, production per capita will soar to more than 80 percent above the present level. E.C.F. New GOP Magazine Oregon Republicans at last are to have a mouthpiece. The "Republican Statesman," will make its initial appearance with a July issue and will be published monthly thereafter. a e e e QPERATING under sanction of the Republican state central committee, the publication will deal with various items of political and economic impor tance and will offer a complete news coverage of state Republican activities. 1 he Republican Statesman, which will be edited by Sam McKinney of Portland, will be guided in matters of policy and editorial content by an editorial board consisting of ex-Governor Charles Sprague, publisher of the Oregon Statesman; Robert urmonci Case, Portland writer of national fame, and Verne McKinney, publisher of the Hillsboro Argus.

Mars, maybe. The s c i e n- tist. young Alabam an named John Matthews, knows a thing or two about the saucer bus iness; he h a s invented one of his own. More about that later. The 38-year-old Matthews is sales manager of the hydraulic division of the A. O. Smith out fit. He has quite a theory. He looks at the saucer busi ness this way: "It may sound fantastic," he says, "but it is possible that the people on one of the planets are far ahead of us. People have seen what they though were flying saucers in the sky, but none has ever landed. My theory is that they are brought down from one of the planets and dropped from a mother plane. The up-presstire is so great that instead of falling where we can look at them they go back to the mollier ship. Sounds silly, but that is what I think. The pilots can't make it to earth, be cause possibly they can't breathe here. We don't know whether they live on mud pies or ether, or what." May Find Out Matthews thinks that in the next half century we may find out. "Our life span is around 70 years or so," he said. "How do we know that it might not be 500 years on Mars or Jupiter? They say it would take us 14 years to make it to Mars and back since man cannot travel faster than light. It probably would be worth it to find out. "I'll bet that if we had a ship we claimed could make it, you would find a line of volunteers stretching from Boiling field to Washington." Matthews is sure his little flying saucer model will never make the grade. Displayed Big Model The first one he made stayed up nearly 10 seconds. He built a bigger one In his Silver Spring, Md,. home and exhibited it at the National Capital Model Air show at Andrews air force base last week-end. The new one is 18 inches In diameter and two inches thick. It's circular and is powered by a Foster 29 gas engine. Mostly it's made of balsa wood, which comes from Equador, and has a propellor. The model soared to 50 feet, went 80 miles an hour for about 116 of a mile. Inside there is a bell crank. serious I which is connected to the ele vator, or tail control. Two steel wires come down to earth and the guy guiding things has a firm hand on both. He twists his wrist, much as the operator of model planes do, to keep the saucer from going afoul. Scientist Matthews is proud of his latest creation, which he put together in two nights. But he is even more proud of the first one he built the little job that would stay in the air only 10 seconds. That one cost him about S5 in balsa wood, plus the glue and paint, plus $2 for a motor which he rebuilt, plus a lot of work. But Uncle Sam put the thing on tour and picked up over $1,000, 000 in war bonds. "We wore the darn thing out," he said. Medford Youth Ends Marine Corps Training A Medford youth has com pleted 10 weeks of initial train ing at the marine corps recruit depot, San Diego, and three Jacksonville young men have started basic training there.

Polio Research in State to Begin With Fund Grant Portland, June 20 Oregon's first research project to be fi nanced by a grant from the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis will get underway Saturday. The, grant, $5,275, is part of $1,441,721 in awards which Na tional Foundation President Basil O'Connor designed last week for scientific research and professional education in the battle against polio. Officials of the University of Oregon medical school, Port land, where Oregon's grant will be used, were enthusiastic over O'Connor's announcement. They pointed out that it represented national recognition of the school's virus research project and that continued progress would entitle the school to a re newal of the grant each year. To Direct Research Research made possible by the Oregon grant will be under the direction of Dr. Arthur W. Frisch, associate professor of bacteriology who has been en gaged in virus research at Port land for three years. Dr. Frisch and his immediate superior. Dr. H. J. Sears, said that $3,200 of the sum would be expended for the salary of a technician and the balance for equipment. white mice and monkeys. They explained that the award would be used to study the growth of polio virus in tis sue cultures in an attempt to adapt certain strains of humap virus to mice. Because mice are plentiful and relatively inexpen sive, they said, this would per mit expansion, and intensifica tion of their studies. They also plan to increase the concentra tion of virus in tissues to allow for performance of seriological tests to determine past infec tions. To 19 Institutions O'Connor said in New York, that the $1,441,721 in March of Dimes contributions would go to 19 universities, institutions and professional organizations. The new awards, effective July 1, will support 34 individual pro jects for research aimed at pre venting the disease and improv ing treatment methods, as well as for training essential profes sional persons. In the 12 years of its existence, the National Foundation has spent more than $26 million in this manner. O'Connor, emphasizing the urgency of scientific efforts to curb polio, said that this year's incidence of the disease is al most keeping pace with 1949's record-breaking epidemic. A this is written, late Monday morning, they are within nine miles of Seoul, South Korea's capital, and are calling upon the South Koreans to surrender. yHE teletype has just clicked off this ominous summary of the situation. "Prospects of the total defeat of the Southern Korean forces THROUGH BAD MORALS rath er than by being beaten in the field were in evidence at this zero hour today. "The Northern Korean (com munist) mobile column that thrust perilously upon Seoul did so by piercing TWO full South ern Korean divisions that were engaged in a counter-attack . . . It reached Seoul's outskirts with little or no resistence for the last dozen miles. WHY is that summary omin " ous? This is why: If the South Koreans (who are under OUR wing) had whipped the daylights out of the North Korean communists (who are un der RUSSIA'S wing) and had thrown them back over the bor der in rout and confusion, it would have been another defeat for Russian policy, like the blockade of Berlin, which was broken peacefully by our air lift. We could then have sat back smugly and in effect could have said piously to Moscow: "You see what happens when your communist protegees gra tuitously attack the defenders of human liberty." 1I7E wouldn't have had to do " anything more than that. The South Koreans WOULD HAVE HANDLED THE SITUA TION. As it appears to be, from the latest reports, the shoe is on the other foot. With South Kor eaon resistance crumbling (with "bad morale" stories indicating that communist penetration, which is Russia's No. 1 weapon, has weakened and disorganized South Korea) it is up to us to fish or cut bait. Either we must accept defeat in the way of encouragement to inin Korea with all that implies to Russia to get TOUGHER YET, or we must wade into Korea with men and guns and tanks and planes and fight back on a scale that amounts to hot war. IF WE did that, and if by un- fortunate chance or lack of sufficient preparation or any other reason our Intervention was too little and too late and the Russian-trained Korean com munists LICKED US TOO, then we would be in a bad way. In any event, if we have to get into it at all with men and guns, a critical situation will have aris en. That is how world wars get started. So you can see readily enough why the news from Korea is ominous. WHAT will be the outcome of it? It's far over my head. I don't know. I doubt if anyone knows. But I do know that the situation that has arisen is serious. It calls for the ablest brains and the best leadership we can command.
