West Felt Too Busy
Seeking Collapse or
Russia s Satellites
(Editor's note: Waller G.
Bundle, United Press foreign
news writer, is substituting
for Phil Mewsom while the
latter is vacationing.)
An uneasy suspicion is devel
oping that the West has been so
busy watching for evidence that
the roof is about to fall in on
Rumia'a lerrv-built satellite
structure that we've failed to
notice that a number of founda
tion stones have been kicked
loose in our own European se
curity system.
Western diplomats, who read
similar motives into the Krem
lin's latest "peace and unity"
proposals on Germany, suggest
it's time to wake up to the fact
that Mnscow has been cashing
in handsomely in West Europe
on its phony "let s oe inenas
fMtaffv
While we've been preoccupied
with such interesting speciacies
as anti-Communist riots in East
Germany, Poland ad Czechoslo
vakia and hieh level knile wieia
ing in the Kremlin itself, here's
what's been going on in our
own back yard:

Communists and left-wing so
cialists.
2. The Communists have egg
ed on and taken advantage oi
the wave of French strikes
which have further weakened
the tottering economy of that
Western ally.
3. The six-nation West Euro
pean defense community has
been quietly shelved with no in
clinations of early revival of this
important European defense
project.
4. Moves toward European
unification have slowed to
standstill.
Wat aiuf Km
To a considerable extent, these
developments can be traced to
the lulling effects of Moscow's
iron onnir of "neace and friend
ship" which has encouraged a
wait-and-see policy in West Eu
rope and infyienced its leaders
to channel some of their vital
energies into the old avenues
of internal strife and tardy de
fense.
Now the Kremlin is concen
trating on Germany.
Important Elections Due
Important elections are com
ing up in West Germany in
three weeks. At stake, for the
West, is the political future of
the , government of Chancellor
Ttnnrni Adenauer, most deter
mined champion of German co
operation with the West and a
German contribution to an Eu
ropean defense force.
Tha Kremlin's week end note
was a thinly disguised attempt
to buy the election lor Aaen
auer's political foes.
Transportation Growth
On Pendleton Show
Pendleton U.R) The story of
the growth of transportation in
the West will unfold during the
annual Westward Ho parade
which will be staged here Sep
tember 11 during the Pendleton
Roundup. ( '
Parade Director Dan Bell said
all commercialism will be barred
in the parade which will tell the
story of transportation from the
first rude drags and vehicles to
more modern wagons and Mor
mon carts.
The Pendleton Roundup, a
three-day affair, lasts from Sep
tember 10 to 12.

Battery Powder
Maker Expects End
Of Fraud Order
Washington U.R) Manufac
turer Jess M. Ritchie said today
he expects the Post Office De
partment to announce soon that
it has cancelled a seven-month-
old mail fraud order against his
controversial battery pep pow
der, AD-X2.
A spokesman for the depart
ment confirmed that we are
going to issue something on AD
X2 in the next three or four
days." He refused to elaborate
on that statement.
Seen as Vindication
Ritchie said he has "reason to
believe" that the department
will officially vacate the fraud
order, which has been "suspend
ed" since March 2. He said he
regards the impending action as
a "vindication" of his product,
which has been labeled worth
less by the Bureau of Standards.
The order, which forbade
Ritchie to use the mails to sell
or advertise AD-X2, was issued
last January on the basis of the
Bureau of Standards' finding
that the powder would not reju
venate old storage batteries as
Ritchie claimed.

Sales Tax Seen (or
Benefit of Schools

ference of the Oregon Education
Association here that Oregon's
present birth rate means $80,.
000,000 in new schools and $16,-
000,000 in operating costs in the

come tax and local property

on a two-legged stool," he said.
