Editorial Comment LIGHTS THAT FAILED Yesterday's news dispatch covering the suspension of pub lication of the Hood River Sun, included a statement from its publisher, Jack Travis, that the Sun is the only daily newspaper established and maintained in operation in Oregon for more than one year since 1919. The Sun endured for a little more than three years after becoming a daily in 1949, but it is by no means the only one to come un der the classification which Mr. Travis has stated. We recall, for instance, the Burns Times-Herald, which ad vanced from weekly to daily in 1933 and resumed its old status in the forties. And there was the Jackson County News, which be came the Daily News in 1926 and lasted into 1933. Llewellyn A. Banks was its publisher. There are at least two to keep company with the Sun in "the record. The Bend (Ore.) Bulle tin. PICNIC IN CEMETERY Bronte, Ont.

Editorial Correspondence New York City, Aug. 14 Down here to see our one and only nephew, and the Dodgers play the Giants. Seeing the nephew was simple but eating with him was not. Nephew, it seems, in summer doesn't wear a hat or coat. Can't blame him in this jungle atmosphere. But when he appeared in the dining room at our hotel, the head-waiter swooped down on him like a hawk on a poor little chickadee, and figuratively threw him out. They have rules regarding male dress in N.Y. hotels it seems and more surprising ENFORCE THEM! During the summer coat less males with their sleeves rolled up are especially unpopular. However, we escaped without injury (except to the young man's pride) and sallied forth to find an eating place short of the B.owery that would serve a white over 21, in unpressed pants and sport shirt. . The hotel coffee shop in the basement looked cool, Inviting and democratic. The reception there was also cool but NOT inviting. "Has the young man no jacket?" asked the "hostess" with great hauteur. So we were thrown out AGAIN! Began to feel like appealing to F.E.P.C. A block away ran into one of Schraft's numerous eating places. Surely they would have no sartorial restrictions there. Schraft's are as thick in New York as "Childs" wera 50 years ago, and very "middle clawss." But the head waitress spotted the coatless youth a mile away and sailed down on him like a revenue cutter on a bootleggers' skiff. "Sorry," said she, "but our rules are very strict." The crestfallen countenance of the nephew may have touched her stony heart, for she added with a very forced smile: "If you wish, we could loan the young man a coat while you dine?" The pangs of hunger proved greater than injured pride this time, a coat of spotless pongee was accepted, worn through the prandial period, then returned upon departure with appropriate acknowledgments monetary and otherwise. Nephew thought all this the silliest "snootiness" he had ever encountered, and after recovering his "amour prope" somewhat, declared that if HE had been managing things, he would have walked ALL NIGHT, before he would have submitted to any such humiliating discrimination. Maybe so. But the avuncular member of Rome do as the Romans do." And comes the better part of wisdom, to surprising thing is how quickly the has lived half his years in New ever, that the next time he is invited downtown to dinner, summer or winter perhaps tomorrow he And why not? Your correspondent is not found exposure of the male torso, particularly on a hot, sticky night either appetizing or attractive. Apparently, New Yorkers feel the same way about it... For don't forget this: If these rules and regulations were NOT supported STRONGLY by public opinion, they would never be enforced. Hotels and restau rants in New York are no more disposed to turn away paying clients than they are elsewhere. Not so much, perhaps. As far as the opposite sex is concerned, however, that is and always has been, of course a very DIFFERENT matter! As it happened King Faisal of Iraq had the same idea. He also wanted to see his favorite baseball team play their hated rivals, the New York Giants, so he was on hand at Ebbets field, along with some 30,000 others. But judging by the little we saw of him through the trusty field glasses, he didn't yearn for a victory as strongly as the "sports-writer emeritus" from Medford, Oregon. In fact, if he was really interested at any time, much less excited, hs calm, childlike and somewhat indicate same. Even when that resourceful little warrior "Pee wee" Reese snapped out a single that broke the tie and won the game, there was no emotion displayed in the manager's screened-off box nor by the manager himself as far as that is concerned. The manager was probably too engrossed in playing host to royalty to go over board with the rest of the Dodger fans. It proved, in fact, to be one of the most exciting baseball games we have ever seen, and unless wi are mistaken it was our first view of a victory for our beloved "Bums" over the Giants. As is well known, Brooklyn usually wilts when the boys from Upper Manhattan trot out onto the diamond. If proof were needed the fact the Giants have beaten Brooklyn nine games to five this season should supply it. And when New York in the ninth inning had the bases filled, needed only one run to tie and two to go ahead, any wise bookmaker would have demanded impossible odds on any pro-New York wager. But this "Big Boy" Black, the Dodg ers' relief pitcher, forced the Giant batter to hit into this Peewee Reese's hands and although Reese showed he was under a strain also, by bobbling it a few seconds, he fired to first in time and the crucial game of the year was over! It is a bit early, however, for the Dodgers to celebrate a pennant victory. A year ago this date they were 13 games ahead of New York, and then fell apart while the Giants put on one of the most sen sational comebacks in baseball history, to grab the national title. However one can't quite visualize the repetition of any such mir acle this year. So instead of the world series being between the two New York teams this year, it looks more like the Dodgers for sure on one side, and either the Yankees or Cleveland on the- other. We are rooting AGAINST the Yankees as usual but judging the present by the past that will improve, rather than impair, their chances! Later: Another climatic armistice. And just in time. For once a thun derstorm did what thunderstorms were formerly supposed to do cleared the atmosphere, reducing the humidity to only 40 and sending down the mercury 25 degrees. May this lifesaver last for more than 24 hours THIS time! Last night attended our second theater for this trip, and again hit the jackpot. This time it was "The Male Animal" by our fa vorite writer-cartoonist James Thurber, in which co-author Elliott Nugent and Martha Scott starred. Robert Preston, however, never one of OUR favorite screen actors "stole the show!" A long time since your correspondent, in spite of a drenching by the thunderstorm, has had so much "good, clean fun," and Preston in his simply magnificent portrayel of the rah-rah foot ball FANatic was responsible. We can't imagine ANYONE in the part being BETTER or for that matter half so good. It could so easily have been ruined by over-acting, but never once did Preston step over that all-important line. We would rank the "Male Animal" in the light-comedy line, with the "King and I" in musicals can't think at the moment of higher praise than that! R.W.R. Two People Injured McMinnville (U.R) Two people were in Portland's St. Vincents hospital after a logging truck dumped its load of logs atop two cars on the bridge across the Yamhill river just east of Dayton, Ore. . Mrs. Beth Cameron, Portland, was taken to St. Vincents hospi tal where attendants said she was in serious condition suffer ing a compound skull fracture.

Matter of Fact HARRY AND ADLAI Washington Gov. Adlai E Stevenson's visit to the White House pretty well nipped in the bud at least one burgeoning Re- publican hope. There is no long er much likelihood of a falling out between the Democratic candidate and President Harry S. Truman. It may be added that the prophets began to predict such a falling out, and the Re publicans began to hope for it, quite a little time after the dan ger had really passed. The real story of the curious and somewhat uneasy Truman- Stevenson relationship is rela tively simple in outline. From the very first, as was pointed out very early in this space, there was a major issue to be settled between the President and the nominee. Would Steven son declare his independence, or would he allow himself to be overshadowed by Truman? TRUMAN wanted two things which meant overshadowing Stevenson almost completely. He wanted to campaign nearly as actively as the candidate himself, in his familiar whistlestop man ner. And he wanted to keep his hand on the campaign organiza tion, by continuing Frank Mc- Kinney in his post as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. It was more than two weeks ago when Stevenson made it clear that he could not go along with Truman on either of these crucial points. In fact the real crisis between the two men seems to have been reached rath er soon after the Democratic con vention, when Stevenson indi cated that he did not wish to retain McKinney as national chairman. This was the defini tive declaration of independence. At the same time, Stevenson also made it pretty clear that he did not wish the President to carry out his plan for whistestop campaigning. The news reached Truman during his post-convention vaca tion at Independence, Mo. Ac cording to those close to him, the President was at first both hurt and angered by the seem ing rebuff. Somewhat naively, he had expected Stevenson to be guided by him in all things, and the first shock of disillusion was severe. A7"ET Truman is always a good A soldier. He- has a downright religious respect for political traditions and there is no stronger political tradition than the right of a Presidential candi riatp to boss his own campaign. Moreover, after reflection, Tru man also saw the force of btev enson's argument, that he needed a chance to make his mark with the voters as a major political nprsonalitv in his own right. There was some further maneu vering, undoubtedly, before the Present and the Dartv leaders accepted Stevenson's highly personal choice of btepnen a. rppprl McKinney as national chairman. Nonethe less, the real issue between Tru man and Stevenson had already been settled long before tne President returned to Washing ton. Hence the Truman-Stevenson meeting at the White House could be, and was, rather cut-and-dried. The atmosphere be tween the two men has been de scribed, by one who should know, as "not cozy but comfort able." They made their joint campaign plan easily and with out serious argument. ' There is sound strategy in the plan they agreed on speeches by both Stevenson and Truman on Labor Day; intensive cross country campaigning by Steven son thereafter; and further speeches or perhaps a short cam paign tour by Truman after Oct. 1. The plan minimizes the chances of any Truman-Stevenson crossed wires. . ACCIDENTS can always hap pen, of course, but there is now only one major area where it is realistic to look for a Tru By Roland Coe By Joseph and Stewart Aliop man - Stevenson disagreement. This is the area of such great policy questions as civil rights and the Taft-Hartley law. This area is not supercharged with personal tensions, as was the is sue of Stevenson's independence of, or dependence upon, Tru man. Yet it can conceivably make trouble, nonetheless. The truth is that Gov. Steven son has shown a tendency to take a compromise line on civil rights, on labor and even on the tidelands oil question. This the President thinks neither right nor politically wise. SUCH Truman intimates as W. Averell Harriman, who did their best to smooth over the earlier difficulty, do not approve of compromise on. the great pol icy question. The Truman cro nies, who did their best to in flame the earlier difficulty, will also seize upon any Stevenson tendency .towards compromise, in order to needle the President against the nominee. The great policy questions were omitted from the Truman -. Stevenson campaign review here. In short, there is no assurance, as yet, that the President and the nomi nee will not begin to sing two conflicting tunes. The word comes from Spring field, however, that this chance of trouble is diminishing. Al though he will not use an ora torical meat-axe in the Truman manner, Stevenson is said to be increasingly inclined to take the kind of strong line Truman will approve. Altogether, a powerful Democratic bid for victory seems to be shaping up. (Copyright, 1952, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) Employment Down In First Quarter; Payrolls Increase Salem (U.R) Employment in the 17,488 firms covered by Oregon's unemployment law was slightly lower in the first quar ter of 1952 than a year before, but payrolls increased 4.9 per cent to $279,759,339, the State Unemployment C o m p e n sation Commission has reported. The payroll figure was the highest ever reported ' for that winter period.

" ' V In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS General Ike declines an invi tation from President Truman to come to Washington for a confi dential "briefing" on the inter national situation. In his tele gram turning down the bid, he says: "It is my duty to remain FREE to analyze your admini stration policies publicly, and it would be unwise and would re sult in confusion in the public mind if I accept your offer." Then he adds: "As you know, the problems which you suggest for discussion are those WITH WHICH HAVE LIVED FOR MANY YEARS." " TN OTHER WORDS, Ike thinks he knows quite a little about the international situation, espe cially the situation in Europe, and he prefers to act on his own knowledge. A T THIS POINT, let's recite a little history. Ike was living with these "problems" back in the spring of 1945 when! a couple of his armored divisions got over the Elbe river and were heading hell-bent for Berlin. They'd have TAKEN BERLIN in a few days more if they hadn's been stop ped and turned back by political orders from Washington. - He saw officers and men of his command throw their caps on the ground and jump on them in anger and frustration when the political orders turning them back arrived. TIE WAS living with these same "problems" when Gen eral Patton hit the western out skirts of Prague, in Czechoslova kia, only to be turned back by political orders. THE DEAL to establish the J- Iron Curtain on the Elbe riv er and the western boundary of Czechoslovakia was made . at Yalta and the political orders stopping our military forces there, instead of permitting them to go on and take all of Germany and all of Czechoslo vakia, were issued in accordance with the Yalta deal. TKE KNOWS, as we ALL know .now, how' much better our situation in Europe would be if we had ALL of Germany (in stead of only half of it) and all of Czechoslovakia in our pos session. It's little wonder that he wants to stay free of all political entanglements with the Fair Deal administration, which fol lowed the New Deal administra tion, which MADE THE YALTA DEAL. rOOD FOR YOU, Ike. You " know a booby-trap when you see one. This invitation to bring ypu into Washington and "brief you was a carefully figured out booby-trap. VITE NEWSPAPER PEOPLE know all about that scheme. For years, whenever it has been desired to hamstring us so that we can't criticise, what ha been done, we've been brought into these "briefing" sessions. After we've been flattered all over the place, by big shots who slap us on the back and put their arms around our shoulders and call us by our first names, it is ex plained to us that everything that has gone on in the "brief ing" period is "off the record." It has been told to us, we are informed, because we are so big and so important that it is es sential we should KNOW what is going on. But we mustn't so much as whisper to .anybody even an inkling of what we've been told. That wouldn't be kosher. It would be violating a confidence. THAT'S THE SCHEME they're trying to pull on you, Ike backing you into a corner by giving you - all the intimate de tails and then telling you it's off the record and they're doing it all for your own good. The pur pose would be to make you feel that after you'd been handed the whole 1 o w d o w n you just COULDN'T be o mean as to go away and criticise. But, thank - goodness, Ike, you're nobody's fool. You weren't born yesterday. You know your way around. That's the kind of leader we need in these critical days. dropped from 75,3$2 in 1951 to 72,654 this year, the commission said. But payrolls in the lumber industry jumped to a record high of $72,897,176. Average pay in creased from $323.96 a month to $334.45 in 1952. Payrolls Lower Construction employment and pay rolls both were lower early in 1952 than a year before, but average monthly pay reached $356.69 for 18,492 employes as compared with $329.19 in 1951. Total wages dropped $514,760 to $19,787,413, despite a rise of more than $2,000,000 in dam building. -Food processing also declined slightly but other indus tries gained. New York State department of commerce records show more than 50,000 manufacturing es tablishments with employment rolls of about 1,924,000 workers. Egyptian Plans To End Britain Dispute Heads News of Week By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst The week's balance sheet be tween the good and bad news in the hot and cold wars: GOOD 1. Egypt's Premier Ali Maher announced that one of his first acts would be to seek a solution of the long-standing dispute with Britain over defense of the Suez Canal and the future of the Su dan. A solution to those thorny problems might pave the way for Egyptian participation in a Middle East defense pact. Mean while, Egypt abolished censor ship and took steps to improve the lot of thousands of landless peasants. Australia Base Offered 2. Australia offered the Unit ed States, without strings at tached, full use of the $225,000, 000 Manus Island naval and air base as the first concrete result of the recent Honolulu meeting to implement mutual defense pacts among the United States, Australia and New Zealand. The base, located in the Admiralty Islands north of New Guinea, was one of our principal bases HST Apparently Discards Idea of Envoy to Vatican Washington (U.R) President Truman, who stirred up a politi cal storm by proposing to estab lish diplomatic relations with the Vatican, now apparently has decided to drop the whole idea. The thorny question of wheth er to send an ambassador to the Vatican is now up to his succes sor, Mr. Truman indicated at a news conference. Mr. Truman first touched off the political furore last October when he proposed to establish diplomatic relations with the Holy See after a 84-year break and nominated Gen. Mark W. Clark to be the i irst ambassador to the Vatican. Clark Rejects Bid Clark asked that his name be withdrawn in January after the nomination ran into strong ob jections in Congress. The White House anounced at the time, however. that the president plan ned to submit another name for the post later. Asked if he still intended to make a recess appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican or let the problem go over to his suc cessor in January, Mr. Truman replied that the matter will not be considered at this time. Three Successful in Mss Channel Swim Folkestone, Eng. (U.R) The final score Saturday on the big gest mass invasion of the Eng lish Channel this swimming sea son was: Three successful tries and 10 failures. The last of the 13 swimmers who in the past 36 hours have tried to swim the 21-mile stretch of channel between France and England gave up Friday night. He was 44-year-old Fahmy At talla, one of six Egyptians who tried the long distance swim. The three who succeeded made the France to England swim considered easier than swimming from England to the mainland. They were Victor Birkett, 26-year-old, 224-pound British real estate . salesman; Kathleen Mayoh, a 20-year-old "lassie from Lancashire," England, and 26-year-old mechanic Bakir Soli- man of Egypt.

Yugoslavia announced that a military mission was being sent to Greece, and there was speculation that the two former enemies might eventually enter a defense pact against their Russian-controlled neighbors. U. S. Army Secretary Frank Pace" Jr. visited Yugoslavia, watched Yu goslav army units perform and predicted they would make good use of their American weapons. THE BAD 1. Belgium first tried to get her European Army partners to raise their compulsory military service terms to two years, and then, failing that, reduced her own terms from two years to 21 months. It posed another head ache for Gen. Matthew B. Ridg way who already has been told that France and Britain will not meet their 1952 commitments to the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization. There seemed prac tically no chance that the Euro pean Army would reach its goal of 50 divisions this year. '. 2. French and German repre sentatives argued without no ticeable progress over the future of the Saar, formerly German but now tied to France in a 50 year economic union. Upon the success of their negotiations may depend the future of the Schu man Plan pooling Europe's coal and steel. The French will con sent to "European ization" of the Sarr but insist the economic ties must remain. The Germans in sist the economic ties must re main. The Germans insist that come what may, the Saar is Ger man and must remain so. Neither side shows any sign of budging. Sailors Convicted 3. A molehill grew into a mountain in Japan over the ar rest of two British sailors and their conviction on charges of beating up and robbing a Japan ese taxicab driver. British de mands for their release were taken as an insult by the Japan ese who still were flexing the muscles of their recently re stored sovereignty. The incident has been ironed out and no gov ernments fell, but an increas ingly anti-British and anti-American tone was appearing in some portions of the Japanese press. Subnormal Rainfall Expected in Nation During Next Month Washington (U.R) The U.S. Weather Bureau, forecasts sub normal rainfall and above-normal temperatures for most of the nation during the next month. The bureau's 30-day forecast for mid-August to mid-September generally spelled bad news for drought stricken farmers in the South and New England. It came on the heels of Agri culture Department action Fri day adding Rhode Island and parts of Oklahoma and Florida as disaster areas, where farmers become entitled to federal loans. Subnormal Rainfall A month of subnormal rain fall was predicted for all but the ration's northern and southern borders. The bureau also forecast above-normal temperatures in most places, particularly the Southwest and Appalachian re gions. - It said weather will be slight ly cooler than usual along the northern border from the Pacif ic Coast to the Great Lakes. Temperatures will be near normal in Florida. Southern Texas and Coastal California. BRIEFLY RICH Kingsville, Tex. (U.R) Louis Munez was a rich man for a few moments. While digging post holes for a contractor he discov ered a tin can filled with old fashioned currency which hat been out of circulation since 1929.
