National Census
May Be Taken in
1955ls Belief
Portland (U.R) A tradition-
breaking national census may be
taKen in 1955, Dr. Harold M.
Erickson, Oregon state health
officer, has reported.
Dr. Erickson said statistical
experts throughout the country
were giving "active considera
tion" to the plan, proposed at
a recent public health confer
ence on records and statistic at
Washington, D. C. Neither the
census bureau nor the federal
bureau of the budget have ap
proved the plan, Dr. Erickson
said.
Would Be First Time
If these agencies give ap
proval and Congress authorizes
the 1955 -census, it will be the
first time a national census has
been taken on a five-year basis.
The census now is taken every
10 years with the last popula
tion count made in 1950.
Dr. Erickson said "the ex
tremely rapid growth in popula
tion, coupled with the complex
ity of' our present civilization"
prompted the five-year census
proposal.

Editorial Correspondence
New York City, June 23 We never expected to praise the
New York climate, especially in mid-summer. -But
we not only praise it but consider it heavenly.
And it has been raining ever since we arrived to boot That
makes the humidity 100 per cent ' -
The mercury, however, is in the high 60'i as this is typed.
When we sortied out we had a sweater under the raincoat and
still felt far from overheated. Grandpappy in consequence feels
almost coltish, after the inferno known as Washington, D. C,
anything this side of a Russian steam-room, would make any ref
ugee feel similarly. Yep It IS the climate!
It is a crazy season here climatically. This is the sixth rainy
week-end since April 15. Hard on. the baseball ' receipts, and,
according to the radio, the Sugar-Ray Robinson fight tonight has
been postponed until Wednesday. That won't help the fight
receipts either.. No radio or television except outside of Manhat
tan, however, ought to boost the attendance considerable.
Took in the boat races at New London pn Friday, en route to
New York from Washington. Three wonderful races although for
the first time in 10 years Yale won two of them. Ran into the
Len Carpenters at Stonington, they flew back from Europe where
they spent a couple of months mostly in Denmark and Scandi
navia (as the interesting travelogues from L.C." sent to The Mail
Tribune related).
Proved to be a sort of Carpenter "old-home week," for on
arrival here, had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Alfred and Mr. and
Mrs. Harlow Carpenter. They all looked well and seemed to feel
ditto. The Harlows are leaving for Europe in September and may
remain over there for architectural research for a year or more.
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred leave Thursday for the coast.
Everyone asks "How do things look in Washington?"
The answer is they LOOK bad!
But appearances in this instance may be deceiving we
hope sol-
As related, we spent considerable time in the Senate gallery,
stepped over fo the House gallery once or twice.
The net impression is one of deep discouragement.
Of course, the weather may have had something to do with
it but that can't be blamed for the sentiments expressed by so
many, and the actions taken, by the majority,
-
We hear a lot about the iniquities of the political spoils-system;
the dangers of inflation; the need of improved business meth
ods in our government and as the campaign warms up, will hear
more.
But during those last few days, what did the congress do?
They voted FOR the spoils system, refused to follow out the
civil service reforms not only ; advocated by President Truman
but former President Hoover; and they voted to abolish price and
wage controls practically all of them. And the latter action
roas takpn when the official announcement was made that the high
cost of living has reached a new

As noted above, perhaps the cynical -materialism, hypocrisy
and sordid political maneuvering so evident in Washington at this
time, do not represent the morals or the mood of the" country as
a whole. We surely hope they don't.
If they do then we believe the old gag about giving the USA
back to the Indians would meet with considerable approval.

. We wish, those who still cling to the Taft ship as the best
hope of U. S. survival could sit in the senate gallery a few days
and listen to Robert Alphonso and his group of reactionary mal

politicians in the Republican party in Washington the leading
100 per cent organization members, are not only in favor of Sen
ator Taft for their standard bearer this -year, but would rather
lose with him than win with anyone else. We predict this fact will
become clearer and clearer as tne time ior tne naming m me
presidential nominee approaches.
We could hardly believe our eyes when we read David Law
rence's column in the Herald-Tribune this morning Lawrence
has been one of the Ohio senator's most ardent champions and
yet here is his verdict after a return from a month's sojourn in
Europe, quote: ...
"If the Republican platform is hostile to Europe, or half
hearted in its support of American aid to Europe's demoerac-.
ies. peace in the world will be endangered. Moreover, millions
of independent voters will then look toward the Democratic
nominee for help."
However, such a conclusion is perhaps not so surprising when
one considers the verdict of every news commentator and polit
ical news reporter we talked to when in 'Washington, WITHOUT
A SINGLE EXCEPTION. .
The verdict was unanimous: that while Senator Taft may
well win the Republican nomination, he CAN'T win the election.
Even such cynical wise guys as Walter Winchell and Drew
Pearson expressed the same opinion, not to the undersigned but
over the air. R.WJt.
Babson Discusses Accidents
. By Roger W. Babson
New Boston, N.- H., June 27
(Special to Mail Tribune) The
death of a friend has brought to
my - attention
this week both
the economic
loss to the
country and
the personal
loss to rela
tives from
needless . auto
mobile acci
dents. -
First let me
admit that -these accidental
deaths have not increased prcP
portionately with the number of
motor vehicles, although the
deaths may have increased pro
portionately with the mileage
operated. When I was a student
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, there were only four
au tomobiles in . the Un
ited States. When I was married
in 1900, this had increased to
only 8,000 automobiles, one of
which I owned. Today there are
about 45 million' automobiles
and about 9 million trucks in
operation. Truly this is a miracu
lous industry.
Unfortunately, most of the
roads used today were laid out

that a maioritv of the top-bracket
dreamed- of. The improvements
in these roads have not begun
to keep pace with the number
of automobiles. This is primarily
responsible for most accidents.
We, - however, are now. entering
a new road building industry of
tremendous proportions. Great
toll-roads, ; and super-highways,
costing .-nearly $1,000,000 per
mile, are being built. Those
looking for employment oppor

Killed Last Year
It is estimated that there were
about 40,000 persons killed by
automobiles last year, and many,
many times this number injur
ed. Over r one-third of these
deaths., were due . to collisions;
and about ' one-third from non

should reduce the' collision and

that Britain is used to giving or

And along with everything

erty.
fer is . investors in railroad
stocks, which so many people
are now rushing to buy- due to
temporary high defense earn
ings). Very little is now being
done, however, to reduce the
deaths of pedestrians. Ninety per
cent of these are in cities and
towns and could be' eliminated
Any reader of this column may
be " the next pedestrian to be
needlessly killed.
Obey Existing Police
Rules for Safely .
Every up-to-date community
has traffic lights and traffic of
ficers, but neither of these safe
ty measures supply the neces
sary brains . and self-control to
prevent people from disobeying
traffic regulations. Pedestrians
cross streets in any place with
out regard for themselves, their
families or the unfortunate auto
driver who runs them down. In
addition 'to 10,000 pedestrians
being killed, 200,000 were in
jured.
Readers should resolve ' at
once to cross streets only at in
tersections, and to obey . care
fully traffic lights where they
exist. Children, at home and at
school, should be trained to do
this. Diagonal crossing of streets
should be forbidden. Those who
are caught doing so. should be
fined, and the money used to
employ more traffic officers..
A New Source
Of Traffic Officers
One economic problem today
is finding work that the aged
can do. While automobiles are
increasing the number of deaths,
modern drugs are increasing the
length of life. This situation is
being met by pensions, social se
curity and old-age assistance.
Unfortunately, politics has ser
iously entered the latter and the
politicians are fighting over
whether names should be made
available to the public. Relief
and old-age assistance are great
ly increasing each year; in many
cities the cost is second only to
school costs. A large percentage
of the tax dollar now goes to
old-age assistance and relief.
Now here is my suggestion:
Let us organize the able-bodied
men and women who are. now
on relief as "Safety Monitors"
in uniform. These individuals
would work only a few hours a
day; but contribute their time
without pay. They should be
stationed ' at different locations
to prevent people from crossing
the streets except at marked
places. The very presence of
these ''Safety Monitors" would
tremendously reduce the death
and accident toll. By taking the
names of those who fail to ob
serve the traffic rules, fines
could be collected which would
materially reduce the cost of
relief assistance. I am very ser
ious about this . suggestion and
hope that every one of the 400
communities in which this col
umn is published will give some
thought to it " .

It is that, far from hurrying
the Chinese into a truce, it actu
ally might very well goad them
intp extending the war.
Would Involve Europe
Any extension . of the war
which might, involve Russia,
automatically would involve
Europe, and then, for Britain,
another blitz and the Coventries
of the last war multiplied many
times by the atom bomb.
Meanwhile, Britain's slide to
ward national bankruptcy has
been allowed but not stopped.
Rightfully, Britain reminds us
that in Malaya and Suez she is
maintaining more troops than
we are in Korea. And, in Korea,
she is represented by. the Com
monwealth Division.
Except for one important fac
tor, our reply might be, "so
what?" Britain's world - stakes
are the same as ours, and, so far
as Korea" is concerned, we are
paying the great bulk of the bill,
both in dollars and manpower.
The exception lies in our own
need for allies and in Britain's
precarious position at home.
Can Dethrone Churchill
Aging Winston Churchill rules
his government .with an iron
hand, but he can be dethroned
So long as Churchill or his con
servative party . are in charge,
Britain's rearmament program
will parallel ours and our poli
cies toward Russia will be rough
ly the same.
But there is growing up in
the opposition party a strong
leftist element whose leanings
place them not too far from the
teachings of Earl Marx and who
believe that friendly relations
with Communist Ritesia are not
only possible but .practical.
Churchill needs only to lose
about a score of votes to make
this, element a real threat to
continued close Anglo-American
relations.
New Buss Policy Seen .
. Along with Britain's internal
situation is the new policy which
seemingly the Russians are de
veloping. "
This Russian policy seems to
be two-pronged but to have as
its goal the single ambition of
isolating the United States.
In such countries as France
and Italy, the word seems to
have gone out to the Communist
faithful to drop their strong-arm
tactics and to align themselves
with other so-called "peace" par
ties to sabotage rearmament.
For hard-up Britain there is
the additional bait of' vastly in
creased trade which could cure
all her economic ills.
Must Improve Bait. -
One of Andrei Gromyko's
jobs, when fye takes' over as
Russian , ambassador to Britain
undoubtedly will be to make the
bait even, more attractive.
There's no point in underesti
mating Russian abilities. We also
must consider that we might lose
Britain as an ally. Consultation
with her on the conduct of the
Korean War seems a small price
to pay for her continued whole
hearted support.

Oregon Voters Expected To Have
Chance To
By WILLIAN WARREN
Salem (U.R) It 'looks like
Oregon v6ters will have a
chance to pass on pari-mutuel
betting next November.
But a move to return prohib
ition to Oregon apparently has
fallen by the wayside, Dave
0lara, head of the State Elec
tions Bureau, said Thursday.
No completed petitions for in
itiative measures have yet been
filed.
But a proposal backed by the
Oregon Council of Churches to
ban betting in Oregon, including
pari-mutuel betting on horse and
dog racing, apparently has
enough signatures to make the
grade by the deadline July 3
just one week from now.
Liquor by Drink Seen-
Another initiative measure, to
allow the sale of liquor by the
drink over the bar apparently
has a good chance to make the
grade, O'Hara said. That mea

Failure To Combat Red Lies
With Truth Hit by Jenkins
Ashland Russia's exploita
tion of a "divide and conquer"
policy in countries selected for
Communist expansion and skill
ful use of the "big lie" technique
of propaganda has been the basis
of Soviet success in "dominating
modern Asia, according to Frank
Jenkinsj publisher of the Klam
ath Falls Herald and News. The
journalist challenged a teacher
audience yesterday at Southern
Oregon college to teach pupils
how to differentiate between
falsehoods and the truth.
Jenkins deplored the failure
of the United States to combat
propaganda with truth in the
Asian boiling pot, stating that we
have lost all chances of halting
Russian advances on. that con-;
tinent. He also criticized severe
ly the federal administration for
withholding news until political
ly expedient times in a domestic
propaganda threat.
Traces Red Growth
Tracing the growth of Com
munism, Jenkins said-Lenin took
the radical turn left when he
realized that it would be possible
to concentrate " power . in the
hands of a few. He pointed out
that only 5,000,000 Communists
govern a population of 200
000,000. .
The speaker described the sue-'
Ballot on Gambling
sioner George H. Flagg, to re
move the ton-mile tax on trucks.
It would leave them only with
the plate fees and motor fuel
oil taxes now paid by truckers
and automobile owners alike,
and would mean heavier expens
es, officials here say, for .the
motorist.
Time Change Issue
Oregonians will apparently
have another chance to pass an
other highly controversial issue
standard or daylight time. A
measure backed by the Oregon
Farmers union to keep Oregon
on standard time and do away
with daylight time in Oregon
apparently will make the dead
line. Observers here have ex
pressed doubt of the workability
of such a measure. They pointed
out that several Oregon cities
are on daylight time right now
although Gov. Douglas McKay
declined to designate fast time
in Oregon, and all state offices
have their cjocks set at standard
time.
A measure to reapportion the
legislature has a chance. It is
backed by Young Republicans
and Young Democrats and the
League of Women Voters.

Gov. Warren Explains
Stand on Big Issues
Sacramento, Calif. U.R)
Gov. Earl Warren has explained
in a single package his stand on
taxes, price controls, FEPC,
health insurance, UMT and oth
er major domestic and foreign
issues.
Warren's headquarters in Cal
ifornia issued a booklet con
taining all of the governor's
published campaign views.
Differences Found
Differences between War
ren's beliefs and those of the
two ranking candidates Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen.
Robert A. Taft can be found
in several places. For example,
Warren advocates a Federal Fair
Employment Practices law while
"Ike" has said he is against com
pulsory FEPC. Taft favors arm
ing the Chinese Nationalists for
an invasion of the China main
land while Warren said such a
move would embroil the United
States in an all-out war.
While Eisenhower claimed the
budget could be cut by $40,000,
000,000 and. Taft promised an
outright J5 per cent tax cut,
Warren said a pledge of an im
mediate tax Teduction "cannot
honestly be made."
Tax Saturation Felt
The California governor con
ceded federal taxes "have prac
tically reached the saturation
point" and came out with a
ders a wide berth.
TN FACT, I can think of nothing
nicer than Russia as a COM
PLETE isolationist never per
mitting any of her own people
to cross her borders on the way
out and never allowing anybody
on the outside to cross her bor
der on the way in.
That would be wonderful.
TN WASHINGTON two Pacific
-Coast senators split on the
merits of a bill to place a tariff
of three cents a pound on im
ports of fresh and frozen tuna.
(The bill was aimed at imports
of tuna from Japan.)
Senator Cain of Washington
endorsed the proposed tariff as
a defense move, asserting that
"a well equipped American tuna
fleet is as important to our na
tional defense as radar and sup
ply ships."
Senator Cordon of Oregon op
posed the bill on the ground that
cessful "divide and conquer"
theory, explaining that key peo
ple in nations marked for ab
sorotion are told they will be
given absolute power. As exam
ples of the "big lie" technique,
he referred to the familiar "Wall
Street Dollar Chaser" characteri
zation of Americans and the cur
rent germ warfare charge in
Korea.
Influence Chance Lost
Jenkins said the United States
lost any hope of exerting influ
ence in Asia when the adminis
tration sided with European co
lonialists rather than freedom
seeking nationalists. He explain
ed that such opportunism on our
part played directly into Russia's
promise of self rule.
Turning to the national scene,
the newspaper publisher said it
is a great tragedy that the source
of almost all news in this coun
try is controlled by the White
House, the Pentagon and the
State Department. He said it is
no longer possible to believe any
thing at face value, pointing out
that the administration releases
vital facts only as such informa
tion is needed to influence cur
rent legislation.: -
."There has been too much
power in too few hands too
long," the speaker concluded, i
which Irene Taylor of Portland
is chairman and State Rep. Mau
rine Neuberger of Portland is
a member. Rep. Neuberger led
the fight for colored oleo in the
house. The measure would enable
the milk control administrator
to establish minimum prices to
the consumer but would remove
his authority to establish mini
mum prices for the consumer.
The effect of this would be to al
low a differential for store
bought milk as against home-
delivered milk.
Commercial Fishing
Another initiative with a
chance to make the ballot would
ban commercial fishing in coast
al streams.
Apparently doomed to die
with the July 3 deadline are
measures, to: Bar barbering on
Monday; bar commercial fishing
at night on the Columbia riv
er; appeal the bonus Oregonians
voted in November, 1950, to
their veterans of World War II;
and establish a gross income tax.
to finance a $100 a month old
age pension plan.
Nine acts referred by the leg
islature will be voted on. And
three acts are being referred by
petition the truck tax in
crease, a cigarette tax of three
cents a pack, and a school re
organization proposal which re
sulted from the survey of Ore
gon's school systems by Dr. T.
C. Holey of. Ohio State univer
sity. three-point program to cut down
by an unspecified amount what
he called "excessive national
taxation."
Warren's stand on other ma
jor issues included:
Economic controls the whole
idea of artificial controls on the
economy of our nation is abhor
ent to me. However, in times of
grave national emergency, con
trols may be urgently required
to maintain economic balance
and prevent run-away inflations.
United Nations The UN

foreign policy.
Favors Military Training
Universal military training
Every young man should receive
such training and hold himself
in readiness for active service
during the crisis. I would not
send him away from home to a,
training camp for a year, or ev
en six months. I would have
the program geared to a high
er educational program so that
in one prolonged vacation per
iod he could get basic training.
Health insurance There
must be a way 'to bring good
medical care within the econom
ic reach of these people famil
ies that are self-sustaining on
a modest income. I believe it
can be done in each state on the
insurance principle, whereby
people can prepay for their med
ical care.
Oregon needs imports of tuna
fish caught by the Japanese in
order to keep all its packing
plants operating.
THE senate killed the bill by
by a vote of 43 to 32. I think
it was right in doing so.
The BIG question is shall we
let the Japanese earn their way
in the world by selling to us at
least as much as they buy from
us or shall we SUPPORT them
indefinitely under a global
WPA?
I think we'd better let them
earn their own way.
"ITOU'VE heard a lot about this
- business of "shortage" of dol
lars that is playing hob with in
ternational trade. Maybe you
don't know what it means.
It means just this:
We've sold the rest of the
world SO MUCH MORE than the
rest of the world has sold to us
that there are no longer dollars
enough to go around. So, from
here on out we'll either have to
GIVE OUR GOODS AWAY or
buy enough goods from other
nations to balance the account.
Foreign trade is a two-way
road. It won't work indefinitely
as a ONE-WAY road. That's the
long and the short of it.
