It was also explained that available resources are
expected to total only about $155,744,101 leaving
a deficit of about $45,000,000, although some esti
mates are that this deficit can be pared down to about
$42,000,000.
How did this come about? Why do the state's ex
penses total more than its income?
THE reasons for this go back to the wartime years,
when high incomes brought a high rate of income
tax return to the state, and wartime restrictions lim
ited expenses. A healthy "surplus" was built up. It
has been this extra fat on which the state has been
living. ' . t.
Because of the extra money in the bottom of the
sock, it is also possible tijat some expenditures were
approved which would not have been if it had been
necessary to accompany them with an increase in
taxes.
. .
IN ANY event, the state's present level of spending
is haspd on actual cmeratinsr costs (which can't be
pared down much more than
outlays which have received the specmc approval oi
the voters.
We ran conclude, then,

UT that's not all.
That extra $45,000,000
at about the present level, but it will not provide for
any needed expansion. ; .
The people last November approved construction
of a new mental hospital in or near Portland; new
buildings are needed at the state university and state
colleges: a new intermediate penal institution has
been approved, and is needed; other new state buil
dings are necessary to keep
government all these would cost about $18,000,000,
plus upkeep. A proposed revision in state employees'
salary schedules would cost still more; estimates
range from less than $1,000,000 up to $5,000,000. It
has been proposed, to increase payments under the
basic school sunnort law.
A ' .
Those "extras," which
necessities, would cost up
addition to the regular operating expenses.
TOO, there are a number of other proposals now
kicking around in the legislature for other activ
ities which would take money, $5,000 here, $10,000
thee, $25,000 somewhere else They include such
j 1 9 i j i '" " " j rl'i' i ll.
tnings as interim committees to investigate mis or
that, and for other pet projects of legislators.
It has been estimated
may run to as much as $65,000,000 more than present
income, and the total may even go higher.
IJOW is this money (to keep present state services
going at the present level, plus any additional
which the legislature decides is necessary) to be
raised?
There have, been many
ones, together with estimates of the amounts they
would raise in the two-year budgeting period, over
and above present methods

Matter of Fact
HISTORY'S LITTLE JOKE
Tachen Islands If you want
the real measure of what has
happened to the Eisenhower ad
ministration and American for
eign policy in
the last two
years, consider
the story of
those barren,
contr oversial
rock's the Ta
chen Islands.
If it were not
so serious it
would be a cos
mic joke.
The back
Joseph Alsop
ground of the
evacuation of the Tachens has
been simple enough. It is no se
cret that for ten days or so,
Chiang Kai-shek balked bitterly
at a making a present of the
Tachens to the Communists. The
Eisenhower . administration had
to press Chiang very hard in
deed to take his troops off the
Tachens before the Chinese Com
munists attacked them.
The joke lies in the fact that
just two years ago, the shoe was
on exactly the other foot.
Those were the brave early
days of Eisenhower policy-mak
ing. There was no talk then of
cease fires and peaceful co-existence
and the like. Instead the
watchwords were liberation, dy
namic new foreign policy, recap
tured initiative and the "un-
leasing of Chiang Kai-shek."
President Eisenhower's dra
matic announcement that after
being wickedly held in check by
the Truman administration, the
Generalissimo had now been
boldly unleashed by the Repub
licans, caused a wave of reac
tion that reached all the way to
the rocky Tachens.
At that time, the islands were
held by light guerrilla forces,
hardly more important than
those which fought for Yikiang
shan through close to three
bloody days. The Formosa gov
ernment considered the Tachens
too distant from the main island
to be covered by air or supplied
by sea. The Generalissimo and
his military advisers did not
wish to commit either their pres
tige or large components of
their regular forces to the de
fense of the Tachens. In short,
the islands were then being
treated as expendable.
BUT President Eisenhower had
given the watchword. Chiang
Kai-shek was unleashed. The
Tachens were doubly valuable
as a base for irregular guerrilla
operations on the mainland, and
as a forward radar warning
point for both Formosa and
Okinawa. So the American mili
tary advisory group on Formosa
began pressing Chiang Kai-shek
very hard to put regulars on the
Tachens. This was one of the
measures devised in Washington
to give a little reality to the fa
mous unleashing.
The Americans did not win
their point with ease. The Gen
eralissimo was extremely reluc
tant to put regulars on the
Tachens. Certain key Chinese
military leaders, particularly the
Chief of Staff of that period,
Gen. Chou Chi-jo, resisted the

advisers trumphed in the end.
The 46th division was special
ly chosen to be sent to the
islands. Even after the 46th had
been installed and the defense
positions had been " organized,
however, the American advisers
of the Chinese government were
still dissatisfied.
The commander of the Ta
chens, Gen. Hu-Tsung-nan, was
one of the old boys of the Chi
nese Nationalist army, with a
record that did not inspire confi
dence. Once again heavy American
pressure was put on the General
issimo to replace the Tachen
commander. When this reporter
was in Formosa last year, the
Americans had just won their
None the less, as usually bap
pens' on Formosa, the American
second victory for the defense of
the Tachens. Gen. Hu Tsung-nan
had been recalled and the able
Gen. Liu Nien-li had just been
given the Tachen command,
which he still holds.
In those days, too, one of the
real wonders of Formosa was
the world's most uncovered co
vert operation, the American
financed Western Enterprises.
Western Enterprises combined
the claim to invisibility with a
private housing development,
special PXs, social clubs and
Gods knows what other rather
conspicuous amenities. The
whole town of Taipeh knew that
the spooks, as they were locally
called, were helping the guer
rilla operations based on the
Tachens.
BUT now the spooks are fold
ing their bedsheets and pack
ing to go home. Western Enter
prises, as any pedicab driver
will tell you, is soon to be no
more, and its assets, whatever
they may be, are to be trans
ferred to the Navy. This ,is in
fact a significant move in the
direction of the cease-fire down
the middle of the Formosa
Strait and the general accept
ance of "two Chinas," which are
'now the real aims of the Eisen
how administration Asian pol
icymakers. All of which is important for
two reasons. In the first place,
what are the unfortunate Chi
nese Nationalists to think, when
they are first powerfully pres
sured to defend the "essential"
Tachens at all costs, and then
told that the Tachens are not
essential after aU, and please
to evacuate at once? This re
porter has never shared the
Kno'wland - Robertson - Radford
view of the unvarying Tightness
of Formosa. But in view of the
past record, the Generalissimo
and his advisers certainly seem
to deserve some sympathy at
this time.
In the second place, might we
not be better off in Asia today
if there had not been so much
loud, empty talk at the begin
ning, and if there were a bit
more boldness, spirit and deter
mination in our policymaking
today? Maybe it is impolite to
ask the question, but the facts
demand that it should be asked

Sucrar and Teeth
To the Editor: . If we are to
believe what the A.D.A. has to
say about tooth decay then it
would seem that sugar, a God
given food, is unfit for human
consumption and therefore the
Creator stubbed his toe when
he placed it on this , earth. If
that be the truth why is it not
harmful to eat Rogue vaUey
pears or any other fruit or vege
table containing sugar; beets for
example?
From what Dr. Brady has to
say and from other articles I've
read it has been pretty weU
established that a chemical used
in the bleaching andor refining
of the raw sugar, is what causes
the trouble.
It is claimed that in cane sugar
raising areas the children chew
the raw cane constantly with no
ill effects, at least to their teeth.
The only question I can see
to be solved is this: when does
the A.D.A. caU it sugar, before
it is poisoned, or afterwards?

hands and have no worries until
the next day.
For the ereats of this world
(the TRULY greats, I mean) there
is NEVER any relief from the
grinding burden of responsibil
ity. rpOP Washington officials re-
X nortedlv are convinced that
eventually there will be more
trouble among the little group
of men which rules Soviet Russia.
These officials are said to re
gard last week's political shuffle
in Moscow as the beginning of a
third phase in the struggle for
power that began with Stalin's
death, reached its first climax
with the "purging" of Beria and
passed into its second phase with
the "demotion" of Malenkov last
week. .
I EXPECT these officials are
right. ?
Let's put it this way:
Here in OUR country WE have
a c6nstant struggle for power.
But, in our case, the ruckus is
settled BY AN ELECTION.
In Russia, there are no elec
tions free elections, that is.
THERE THE BULLET AND
THE DAGGER AND THE POI
SON CAPSULES TAKE THE
PLACE OF ELECTIONS.
SOVIET RUSSIA is a despotism.
It is inevitable that in
despotisms, which lack the safety
valves provided in democracies
by free elections, the rifles of
firing squads must crack from
time to time and blood must flow
and aspiring politicians MUST
DIE suddenly end violently.
In despotisms, there is no other
way by which the despot can
clear opponents from his path
and fight his way to the seat of
supreme power.
All history shouts that lesson
at the top of its voice.
THAT'S why it seems to me
that if we can stall off all
out war long enough this foul
thing that we call Communism
will fall of the weight of its own
foulness.
- It doesn't seem reasonable that
in the modern world even
behind the Iron Curtain men
will tolerate indefinitely so foul
a thing as this Communist despot
ism has proved itself to be.
Surely the time must come
when men there wiU say with

By ERNEST HOBERECHT
United Press Correspondent
Taipeh, Formosa (U.R) Chi
nese quarters here predicted to
day the Communists soon will
try to "smoke ut" the line on
which the United States intends
to stand in protecting National
ist off shire islands.
The Nationalists pointed out
that the Reds will make every
effort to clarify the exact in
tent of American promises re
garding protection '. of such
places as Quemoy, Matsu and
Nanchi now that the Tachens
have been abandoned.
Since the Americans have not
drawn a firm public line, the
Communists most likely will do
some probing to find out where
it is located.
Is'That-So?

Did you know that ... In
all the world, every day, about
340 cubic miles of water fall in
dew, rain, snow or hail. This
averages about 16,000,000 tons
of rain every second! '
A dragonfly from the coal age,
found in France, measured more
than two feet across its out
spread wings.
Tides, however small, exist in
all lakes. The range between
high and low tide in Lake Mich
igan, at Chicago, is just under
two inches. .
It's not the lightning itself
which causes a tree to splinter
when struck by a bolt it s the
expansion of steam from the
sap, suddenly superheated.
The octopus is one of the
swiftest things in water. Going
backwards, that is. By filling
the cylinders of its lung with
water, then ejecting . it force
fully, it jet-propels itself back
wards at the bewildering speed
of six miles an hour almost
half again as fast as man can
swim- Trailing its tentacles of
course. ' Perhaps octopuses go
even faster in one instance,
a swarm of small squid shot out
of the ocean so fast that they
landed on a ship's deck 12 feet
above the surface.
A giraffe's tongue is 17 inches
long.
Turtle Suffocation
When a turtle is overturned
or turned turtle it may die
from suffocation. Because its
flattened lungs are spread out
just beneath its carapace the
top cover, the weight on them
of the other organs when the
animal is upside down, can have
fatal results.
Water plants, such, as the
water lily, continue the growth
of their leaves until they reach
a supply of free oxygen, then
they stop.
A careful analysis of water
shows that falling rain stays
aloft as moisture for about three
weeks; deep wells and , vol
canoes can produce water more
than 50 years old; and rain
mixes with ocean water only to
a depth of about 150 feet. .

The Communists first moved
toward the Tachens bv attack
ing nearby Yikiangshan. When
tne American 7th Fleet did not
rush to . protect that tiny is
let, which obviously had to be
held if the Tachens were to be
defended, the Reds knew the
United States would not fight
there.
More Stabs Expected
Now, the Nationalists fully
expect the Reds to make some
stabs at other Nationalist off
shore, islands to see what the
United States is going- to . do
about them. .
"The Communists soon will
smoke us but again just as they
did, at Yikiangshan. They will
maKe anotner aggressive move-
and find out then whether they
can tafce more territory for the

Nationalist official said.
American quarters here pri
vately have been saying that
U. S. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles actually promised
once that Quemoy and Matsu
would be included in the "guar

Dulles Believed Overruled '.
Dulles is supposed to have
given this assurance to Nation
alist Chinese Foreign Minister
George Yen during their Wash
ington (conversations,'only to be
subsequently overruled by Pres
ident Eisenhower himself.
However, there , are two
schools of thought here in Tai
peh about Dulles. Some think
he is playing poltics with China.
Others think he is one of the
Republic of China's best friends
and is working hard against the
"Europe first" group which gets
considerable support from Mr.
Eisenhower and Army Chief of
Staff Gen. Matthew Ridgway. ':
