(U.R) Some 1,250 AFL electricians were back on their jobs today at the Atomic Energy"' Commis sion's multi-million dollar Y-12 project after a six-day strike. The worker's, employed by the Rust Engineering Co., walked out over what- was termed a "supervisory dispute." f5 IWI f AMt VSSL MJilliMIM MAIL TRIBUNE Thankful for What? This is Thanksgiving. "" - In answer to the query what, with the world in its present mess, there is to be thankful for, the answer is considerable. - Like the first Thanksgiving all one has to do, is go back to first principles. QUR Pilgrim forefathers were not so thankful for the abundance they had, with wild turkeys and cranberry sauce, as what they didn't had missed. Unlike two years before they had a good harvest so they didn't have a famine. Also, unlike the former period, they had peace; there was no immediate threat of another Indian war. The weather was an im provement also. And weather was very important then as it still is. So they felt extremely grateful, and decided to give thanks to the Almighty from whom they believ ed these blessings flowed, which was entirely right and proper. ' - ' We might quite properly today do the same. - MOT that the world isn't in a mess; not that this country and all democratic nations for that mat ter don't face perils of a greater immediacy and mag nitude than perhaps ever before. But look at the other side of the picture observe what we haven't got, what WE have missed, as did our forefathers. No. 1 : We are not at war. There is no war, hot at least, raging here or anywhere else on the globe. " As that realistic but always optimistic old warrior Sir Winston Churchill remarked the other day, quote : "We might even find ourselves in a few years, moving along a broad, smooth causeway of peace and plenty, instead of roaming and peering around the rim of hell." . UE MIGHT. Premier Mendes-France, who also is in a position to have the facts and certainly has the aggressive statesmanship to act wisely and effectively regarding them, recently expressed much the same idea. After his visit to this country, and a survey of his own, he foresees a period of peace in fact a "United States of Europe" before many years have passed. The sign ing of anti-Communist pacts in Europe and in the Pa cific, will be, he thinks, constructive steps in that de sirable direction, European unity, , and a check on Russian aggression. CO not only are we at peace," but there are indica- tions in spite of all the Reds here and abroad may do, that war on any large scale at least, can be pre vented for the near future Thanksgiving has been succeeded by another. That s something, in fact it's a great deal. No. 2: The election is over. We won't have another one for two years. So once more let us all be thankful. Elections are nec essary, of course, but they create too much ill will, dis sension and friction which after the storm has passed both sides usually agree might have been avoided, or at least materially reduced if more people" had kept their heads and retained their sense of humor. Now we have a political breathing spell, and next time we may all do better. Thanks again ! AT the moment the weather locally isn't so hot, particularly for those who prefer rain to winter fog, but don't like either. i However for over a month the Weather Man has done a remarkably good job and he might get back on the ball tomorrow. At any rate climatically speaking, this has been one of the most delightful Falls in recent history. So that item should be added to the list of things we have to be thankful for, on the. last Thursday in November, and let us hope meanwhile it may con tinue. DUT to return to Sir Winston Churchill: There is a statement niade by the great British "elder statesman," which has never received the notice it deserved, for it expresses a great truth con cerning this country, which is too often overlooked, especially abroad, but also here at home. : Here is the gist of it, quote: , "Gentlemen many nations have arrived at the summit of the world but none, before the United States . . . has chosen that moment of triumph, not for aggrandizement, - but for further self-sacrifice sacrifice for. the causes by , which the life and strength of mankind is refreshed. The United States has shown, itself more worthy of trust and honor '. than any government of men or associations of nations that has ever reached pre-eminence by their action on the morrow of the common victory won by all." Leaving out the 100 isolationists that is as true today as it was, when it was made, on May 25th, 1949, in New York City. : It wouldn't be a bad idea for every American on Thanksgiving Day to read it over and be thankful that not only was it stated by one of the truly great statesmen of the 20th Century, and not a resident of this country but that it was then and is today entirely and completely true something for which every American should be both thankful and proud. R.W.R. Editorial Comment Rather a Common Ailment In a recent editorial comment, The Medford Mail Tribune the other day, said, speaking of the Republican "party, . while the Grand Old Elephant seemed united and in good health during the recent campaign, the tran quility was only skin deep, for Jumbo is really suffering from a split personality, and has been for some' time." There's truth in that; but RWR completed his editorial be fore getting around to pointing Thursday. November 25, I8S4 and certainly until this out that the Democratic party Is afflicted with exactly the same ailment, "and has been, for some time." One would think that our third ("Independent") party would be free from this type of thing; but alas! even he shows signs of in terior political cleavage. Al bany Democrat Herald.

Deetz Plans Bill To Revamp Oregon Election Practices Oregon City (U.R) Elmer Deetz, Canbys - "gallon jug dairyman" who led the success ful fight against Oregon's milk marketing administration, has announced another ' crusade. ' Deetz, who won election to the Oregon House in the same election in which the 21-year-old milk control act was deci sively repealed, announced yes terday he planned to sponsor a bill in the next legisature to re vamp Oregon election campaign practices.. Candidates Responsibla He said he would author a bill which would make each candie date responsible ifor all money spent in his behalf in a cam paign. The measure would also put a legal limit on campaign ex penditures. Deetz also said reports on campaign expenditures should be made public 10 days before an election, instead of after the balloting. He predicted the rest of the nation would f oUow Ore gon's lead if a "sane" campaign expense biU were enacted. The Canby dairyman cited his own campaign efforts as an ex ample of what can be accomp lished with a small amount of money. He said he spent $1099 to get the milk law repealed and $67 to get elected to the. House. Montgomery Ward Loses $110,000 Suit i Portland . (U.R) Damages amounting to ; $110,000 were awarded in Circuit Court here yesterday to - Anton Kraft, 48-year-old laborer, who had charg ed a large mail-order firm with malicious arrest, false arrest and malicious prosecution. Kraft, a former employee of Montgomery Ward & Co., sued the company and R. F. Hutchm son, who was formerly employed in its protection division on two causes of action. -i1 ' Kraft said he was falsely ar rested and imprisoned on a bur glary charge,' and maliciously prosecuted on a trespassing charge.

HEAR HOPPY Oil KBES-TV WED. 7 to In TKe Day's By FRANK JENKINS Let's caU . this "Quotation Day" in this space and start off with a quotation from one of the world's GREAT men. SPEAKING in London on Nov. .Q. Sir Winston Churchill. prime minister of Great Britain, said: "The whole foundation of our (Britain's) existence stands on our alliance and friendship, and if I may say so an increasing sense of brotherhood, with the United States. "And we are also developing increasingly intimate ties with France, Germany, Italy and the Low Countries, and these ties are stronger and more practical than any that have ever hitherto been devised." : . . , , H E ADDED: important , agreements we hope we shall be able to create that PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH Which will allow time to play its healing part and bring about an altogether easier relationship all over the world.- "We might even find ourselves in a few years moving along a broad, smooth causeway of peace and plenty INSTEAD OF ROAM ING AND PEERING AROUND ON THE RIM OF HELL." ' AS to Russia, Churchill said: "If the Soviets really like being governed by officials in a sealed pattern, AND SO LONG AS THEY DO NOT ENDANGER THE SAFETY AND FREEDOM OF OTHERS, that, I feel, is a matter for them to decide them selves for themselves." PRESIDENT EISENHOWER, another of the world's great men, told reporters at his press conference that: "The United States wiU re main vigorous and strong . . . The greatest mistake we could make would be to lose sight of Russia's quest for world revolu tion and domination." . He went on: - . "I would not favor an East West meeting of the Big Four powers until the allies have rati fied the agreements to bring West Germany. into the Europ ean defense alliance."., BUT He enn eluded "Whenever the U. S. has any real reason to believe any coun try wants to TALK EARNEST LY ABOUT PEACE, the talks will be held." .. AT this point, let's quote an other great American.-Speaking at the" Minnesota state fair, in the first year of this Twen tieth Century, Theodore Roose velt said: ' "There is a homely adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big. stick and you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far." THAT was away back in 1901, when our country had a sim ple and' uncomplicated foreign policy in which every American believed and which every Amer ican was willing to die for, if need be the Monroe Doctrine. But, in a much more compli cated world, the advice given by Teddy; Roosevelt THEN is perfectly sound NOW. - T ET'S close this symposium with a quotation from per haps the greatest American of all Abraham Lincoln, in his Want .' . . fust like HOPPY. vm VORITE MILK and that's Jorgensen's!

News second inaugural address, de livered in the closing days of our bloody Civil Wan "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firm ness in. the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds . . . to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and WITH ALL NATIONS." VOU must have noticed ' the hopeful turn our economy seems to have taken in this No vember of 1954. Professional Democrats would have us believe it is because the Democratic party has taken over the reins in the congress. Pro fessional Republicans contend it is because the vote at the recent election was so close that it can in no way be , construed as a rebuke to the present adminis tration's policies. :;r Personally, J think it is be cause people generally have come to the conclusion that with leaders such as Churchill of Britain and Eisenhower of the U.S.A. peace throughout the world in the next few decades is NEITHER IMPOSSIBLE NOR IMPROBABLE.

Hoover Predicts Communist Defeat Tuebingen, Germany U.R) Former President Herbert Hoover said today the Commu nists futilly are attempting to destroy freedoms ; of Western civilization "by infiltration, propaganda and conspiracy." Mr. Hoover predicted the Communists will be defeated in their schemes because they have underestimated the "spiritual, moral and educational force" that confronts them. ' The 80-year-old former Amer ican chief of state spoke at cere monies which he was awarded an honorary doctorate of econo mics at the ancient University of Tuebingen.
