MAIL TRIBUTE An Important Start The turn of the year is the time, when newspaper offices receive a large volume of roundups, reports and discussions of what went on during the past year. Here .are a few of those which have arrived within the past few days:. "Sixteenth Annual Report of the Oregon Unem ployment Compensation Commission," "Biennial Re port issue of the Agriculture Bulletin," of 'the State Department of Agriculture, tions of the Oregon State "Information Bulletin No. Research and Service, Property Tax Review m Ore gon Cities, 1954-55," "The Oregon, Report of the Legislative Interim Tax Study Committee, 1953-55," and sources Committee." THESE aje just a few of rive. All of them are not, of course, read, although many of them do furnish background which shows up during the year in the coverage of the news. The most interesting of those listed above was, m many ways, the last named. First of all, it delves thoroughly into a problem which could easily be described as possibly the most crucial facing the state for Secondly, it proposed plans to deal with the problem. Third, it was largely the work of Don Lane, ex ecutive-secretary of the committee, who is better known in Medford as f ormer manager of the chamber of commerce here. Anyone knowing Don would ex pect the report to be as sound and inclusive as it ap pears to be. AN IDEA of the scope of the 203-page booklet can be had by glancing at the table of contents, which goes into climate, precipitation, snow surveys, stream gaging, stream flow, ground water, history, legisla tion, demand for water, use of water, dangers inher ent in waters, public proposals and suggestions, ana lysis and discussion, recommendations concerning the most immediate needs, and specific bills for legisla tive action. To make the publication are 13 plates and 23 tables, report. It is a good job. THE booklet begins with a quotation illustrating the exceeding importance of water. It says : "Water contributes directly or indirectly to the supplying of more human wants than does any other natural resource. It is an absolute necessity in the functioning of the human body, with regular daily supplies as important as food. It. is .essential to the maintenance of all plant and animal life. In varying degrees, water is vital in all segments of economic activity. As the population grows and the plane of living is raised, the total demand for water increases through new uses and intensification of old ones." All of us realize these facts, but at the same time most of us still take water supplies pretty much for granted. THE importance of the committee's report lies in the fact that it is an official governmental recog nition of the problem and of the fact that the problem will get worse before it gets better; and because it makes specific recommendations as to what to do about it. The report points out that the problem is particu larly applicable in Oregon because of the population gain. It might be added that it is just that much more applicable in southern Oregon, which does not have the high average rainfall of the Willamette valley and the coast, and which has a rate of population increase even higher than much of the rest of the state. - THE committee's recommendations consist of two broad proposals, each including specific points. In general they are : 1. The formation of an Oregon Water Resources board, which shall assume many of the functions per taining to water now held by various other agencies of government, plus some new powers; and 2. The establishment of a code governing the use of ground water, to protect the sub-surface water tables, and to provide equitable regulations for the use of ground water. THE job of the committee was, in one sense, a job of pioneering, of exploring new fields. In another sense, it;was a repetition of mankind's age-old. job of trying to make inadequate supplies (of money, or food, or jobs) go as far as possible. Viewed in any light, it was a job which had to be done, if Oregon is going to continue to advance inan orderly manner. The time has long since passed wh'en society can permit range .wars, or water-hole wars. "Big government" or not, the administration of. water supplies is a job which has to be done, and gov ernment is the only agency big enough to take it on. The well-thought-out, thoroughly considered pro gram suggested by the Water Resources committee is a good start. E.A. Currency Comptroller Asks Bank Conditions Washington (U.R) The Comptroller of Currency today issued a caU for the condition of all national banks as of Dec. 31. The Federal Reserve System issued a similar call for all its member banks which are not national banks.

Matter of Fact ANOTHER GREAT DEBATE Washington' At this time, when prediction of things to come is much practiced, it seems at least a sporting bet to predict a tre mendous row about ' Ameri can foreign policy, to start almost as soon as Congress assembles. The first or der of business in the Senate, as regards for Slewaxi JLttcp eign policy, will be two key treaties the mutual defense pact with Formosa, and the Manila pact for the defense of Southeast Asia. It may seem un likely that these treaties could generate a row, since there is not the slightest likelihood that either will be defeated. Indeed, it is always possible that they will slip quietly through Con gress, without fireworks. But they could also act as detonators for some very impressive fire works indeed. The present intention is to call Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, possibly Assistant Secre tary of State for the Far East Walter Robertson, and the mem bers of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to testify on the treaties, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Sen. WiUiam Know land, Republican leader, is a member of -the Foreign Relations Committee. Knowland has already taken sharp issue with the Administra tion on foreign policy in Asia. He has called for another "great debate" on foreign policy, and he has proposed that the Joint Chiefs and the highest civilian officials te called to testify on their views about foreign policy. The hearings on the Manila and Formosa pacts, in other words, will give Knowland just the op portunity he has demanded. Nor is this all. It is no secret whatever that there is a pro found division inside the Ad ministration on the basic issues of foreign policy above all, policy in Asia. WITHIN recent months there have been two occasions when this deep division has al most led to a surface explosion. The first occasion was when Adm. Arthur Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Adm. Rob ert. Carney, .and Gen. Nathan Twining favored committing American air sea power to hold Indo-China. The second occasion was when the same men favored committing air-sea power to the Chinese mainland, if necessary to hold the Chinese Nationalist off-shore islands. Both times, Gen. Matthew Ridgway made up a minority of one on the Joint Chiefs. And both times, the issues were final ly settled in Ridgway's favor by President Eisenhower himself. . It is no secret either that ithere is now a certain tension among the Joint Chiefs, of the kind which is almost inevitable after this sort of policy clash, and of the kind also which often leads to public, blow-ups. Radford, moreover, has certainly discuss-. ed his views in private not only with Knowland? but with other influential Republicans, like Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire. Radford is a brilliantly per suasive man, . who has always been very decidedly outspoken about issues on which he feels deeply. It is probable that he feels even more deeply on the issue of Asia policy than he did on the issue of air policy, during the B-36 row between the Navy and the Air Force. The other Joint Chiefs in cluding Ridgway are not given to hiding their lights under a bushel either. Thus it does not take a great deal of imagina tion to see how the forthcoming hearings before the Foreign Re lations Committee might bring fully into the open the split in the Administration. This split has heretofore been largely concealed. But with Knowland and other Senators questioning 1 oth Dulles and the Joint Chiefs on Asia policy, it is hard to see how it could con tinue to be hidden. The sub stance of any testimony before Senate committee, even testi mony taken in executive session, always becomes public property before too long. P11 THE hearings do start in an Otv foViat nn Acta rinlirv rii Administration will be in for a difficult time. For it is the President himself who has taken the basic decision on Asia poli cy. His decision is to avoid com mitting American forces in the area, if this can be done short of dishonor. Yet if Radford, for example, is asked at the hear ings whether American forces should be committed if seeded to save the Nationalist off-shore islands, what can he say other than what he is already known to believe? Thus it is at least possible that the hearings on the Manila and . Formosa pacts might give rise to' the kind of major crisis which led to former President Truman's firing of Gen. Mac Arthur. If the Chinese Commu nists choose in the next few weeks and months to move against the off-shore islands, moreover, this kistd of crisis will become, not simply possi ble, but highly probable. Yet the public debate on Asia policy which now seems likely wUl surely be a healthy thing. For it is a most unhealthy thing for the kind of basic policy divi sion which now exists in the Administration to be bottled up, and to fester in concealment. (Copyright, 1955, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) Is That So? By Eugene Burns ' Ranger-Naturalist Did you know that ... the American northwest Indian had a domestic white dog, perhaps brought in from Asia, which was bred and sheared for its wool-like covering. After the white man's arrival, it soon be came extinct. Likewise, the Poly nesians had a lap dog which was used for food.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower was home to day from his Georgia golfing fi ' -! vacation, con fronted with an opposition Congress eager for poli tical . warfare on the domes tic front. The open ing skirmishes of the 1956 p r e s i dential campaign will Lyle C. Wilson take place in the first session of the new 84th Congress which convenes Wednesday at noon. Mr. Eisenhower will unfold before Republican legislative leaders and members of his cabi net his political program in a White House meeting today. He wUl discuss with them his an nual message on the State of the Union which he personally wiU deliver aft. 6 before a joint ses sion. Conservatives Express Anxiety The President has drafted a message representative of the moderate progressive political position which he assumes and which he warns his Republican brothers they must accept if the party is to survive. There is some anxiety among conserva tive Republicans that Mr. Eisen- j hower's moderate progressivism will be so far left of center as to satisfy the Democratic opposi tion while antagonizing the right wing of the President's own party. Seven messages in bang bang order are scheduled after Thurs- j day's: Jan. 10: Foreign trade; Jan. 11: Pay raises for civil servants including postal employees and hiked postal rates to cover the latter; Jan. 13: Military pay raises and a new armed services reserve program; Jan. 17: Bud get; Jan. 20: The report of the President's Council of Economic Advisers; Jan. 24: Recommenda tion that the federal government set up a fund of about $25,000, 000 to underwrite extension of private health insurance; and Jan. 27: Multi-billion dollar highway program. Substantial Harmony A substantial area of har mony has been staked out for bi partisan collaboration in enact ing some of the White House program. Rep. Sam Rayburn (D Tex.),.who wiU be speaker in the new Congress, told the United' Press he is ready to go along with Mr. Eisenhower in postponing scheduled reductions in corporation taxes and excise taxes on such things as gasoline and cigarettes. Democrats may challenge him, however, with a plan to increase individual income tax exemp tions, a gesture toward lower in come bracket voters. The President can expect strong Republican and Demo cratic support for his foreign policy, . including the velvet glove approach to Asia.. But. a big scale program for economic aid to Asia may suffer opposi tion from conservatives of both parties. . ' Most Democrats are expected to support ana many KepuDii cans to oppose the President's comparatively low-tariff, reel procal trade program. On pub lic housing, health insurance, an increase of the minimum wage from 75 to 90 cents an hour, the President can expect substantial Democratic support as far as he wants to go. Both parties will be notably divided on any plan a revive the Taft-Hartley Act, Farm Price Battle Battle lines are forming on farm legislation with the House inclined to return to the high and inflexible supports which Congress junked last year. The Senate might not go along but, in any event, Mr. Eisenhower probably would veto such legis lation. Sen. Richard B. RusseU, (D Ga.), indicated to the United Press the Senate Armed Services Committee would give the PreS' ident's military manpower pro gram a long, cold look. RusseU will be committee chairman in 84th Congress. Mr. Eisenhower plans to reduce military man power by. 403,000 men in the next 18 months and to set up a Western Pine Lumber Shipments Increase Portland (U.R) An 8.6 per cent increase in lumber shio- ments from the western pine region has been predicted for the first three months in 1955 by S. V. Fullaway Jr., secretary- manager of the western JPine Association. Fullawav- said his prediction was based on the current de mand for lumber and the cur rent residential trend, but ship ments could be slowed by weather-conditions and mill and log stocks. . The lumberman said he ex pected shipments of 1,700,000, 000 from the 12 pine-producing states in thee Wst. sonville Presbyterian church.

Eager iflor 'Warfare new reserve system. Public power and internal se curity are the issues on which the Democrats are most deter mined to give Mr. Eisenhower trouble in the new Congress, seeking issues which could pay off in 1956. Linked with over all power policies in which the President hopes td encourage private enterprise to the utmost, is the specific case of the Dixon Yates contract with the Atomic Energy Commission to build a steam-power plant in eastern Arkansas. The Democrats claim the stiff security regulations im posed by Mr. Eisenhower are un just.

This total compared with $9, 550,000,000, the previous record, in 1953, and with $5,823,000,000 in historic 1929. Of the 1530 issues listed on the New York Stock Exchange, dividends Tvere paid on a total of 1,384, involving 941 common and 443 preferred stocks. These aggregated $6,693,726,700, a rec ord.

The editorial, written : by Louis RuppeL former editor of Collier's magazine recently named editor of the Daily News, was the first formal expression of policy since Matthew H. Mc- Closkey became chairman of the board. McCloskey, P h i 1 a d e i phia builder, heads the Democratic party's state Finance Commit tee. Boston was covered with gla cial ice 1,000 feet thick 50,000 yeari ago. if sonalized and publicized by the case of Wolf Ladejinsky, a long time agricultural expert in the State Department who was transferred, along with others, to the Agricultural Department some months ago. Ladejinsky was secure enough for State but Agriculture found him wanting on "technical and security grounds." Both depart ments are standing pat. The Democrats will seek to use the Ladejinsky case to dishonor the entire Eisenhower security sys tem. They are favored in this effort by the fact that the Re publicans, themselves, cannot agree on Ladejinsky. his Bundestag who do not like the French-German Treaty on the Saar, which is part of the armament package. He must meet the arguments that ratifi cation will end any chance, in the foreseeable future, of Ger man unification. Threats From Moscow Adenauer also must withstand the dire threats which will come in a stream from Moscow threats which will be mingled with soft talk about happy days to come" if West Germany con sents to remain militarily help less. The betting is that Adenauer will be able to do all this when the ratification legislation comes up for final passage next month. It already has passed its first reading In the Bundestag. The second and third final read ings remain. If Mendes-France is rightly called "Mr. France" on the Seine in the present situation, Adenauer certainly may be called Mr. Germany on the Rhine. The 78-year-old "Old Fox" has been Germany's one outstanding leader since he became chancel lor of the new West German Fed eral Republic in 1949. He was elected by a one-vote margin and . thus, in a sense, elected himself. Adenauer has dedicated his life to fighting Communist en croachment, to regaining sover ignty for his country, and to ending the centuries-old enmity between Germany and France. Adenauer is trusted and hon ored by all the Allies, and right now he comes close to being the .indispensable man in West European politics. Outworks Younger Men Tall-ramroad-straight, with a tough leathery complexion, Ade nauer does not look his age, and he tires, out younger men who work with him. He entered law practice in his native Cologne in his young manhood, became active politic cally and was made mayor of the city in 1917. The Nazis detested him, and threw him out when they got into power. He was ar rested several times during World War IL After the war, Adenauer started building up the New Christian Democratic Union, and it was as leader of that party that he was elected chancellor in 1949. Only then, at 73, did he become internationally prom inent. Adenauer worked closely with the Allied occupation officials. He started working also toward getting West Germany recog nized as a sovereign nation, and he was one of the first to realize the necessity for West Ger many to arm in defense against Communist aggression.
