History seldom repeats itself.
But to date it has, in striking fashion.
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

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.

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.

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.
Basket weaving, leathercraft,
textile painting, finger painting,
woodworking and copper tooling
will be among the subjects of
fered. Classes for youngsters in the
fourth, fifth and sixth grades
will convene from 8:30 to 10 a.

2. 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.

Washington, June 28 (U.R)
A scientist friend of mine thinks
these flying saucers we've been
hearing about
may be from
another planet.
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.

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.
