Those Narcotics Rumors
Police Chief Charlie Champlin called us Saturday
to discuss a problem which seems to come up about
once a year usually as spring is on the way.
He said there is a rash
about the use of narcotics by Medford school students.
Some of these tall tales are detailed and specific,
telling how some Medford youngsters had to leave
school, or get treatment at
description of sufficient
authority to the story.
THE PROBLEM is this:
proven to be true. All of them which the police
hear about are carefully checked.
. And such rumors, floating around town in in
discriminate fashion, can
They discredit the school
ment and some perfectly
fHAMPLIN points out
w checks EVERY such
them. In . any case where there is the slightest
suspicion that there is a foundation of truth, the
matter is reported to federal narcotic agents for
further checking.
But in the vast majority of cases the rumors are
not true.
He doesn't know where they start.
A ND HE asks Medford citizens to help, this way:
"If 'anyone hears such a rumor, don't repeat it as
a choice bit of gossipy scandal, but report it im
mediately to the Medford police department. It will
be checked and double checked. If it's false, the
rumor will be stopped. If there's any truth in it, the
police can get an early start in correcting the
situation.
Other cities in Oregon have had similiar problems
with narcotics rumors, and Champlin is not the first
police chief to appeal for public cooperation in re
porting them.
CHARLIE points out:
"We've been lucky so far. There is absolutely no
evidence of any narcotics peddling or use in Medford
at the present time. We want to keep it that way.
"But if it ever does start, we want to be in a posi
tion to stamp it out, quick. And to do this we'll need
the help of Medford residents."
This is the type of rumor that can do real harm.
Don't repeat it. Tell it to the police. E.A.
Too Few Workers
A noted American economist named Peter F.
Drucker says in an article in the current Harper's
magazine that the most significant economic fact of
1954 was too-little noticed.
It Was, he said, that 2,060,000 babies were born
during the year the largest number in any one year
in this country and that this record baby crop was
born to parents of low-birth-rate depression years.
,
THE SIGNIFICANCE of this, Drucker continues, is
that the "economic population" that is, those
who contribute to the economy for the next 20 years
need not be guessed; it is already known.
Also, he says, "The total population- of the United
States, now at 162,000,000, can be expected to top
190,000,000 by 1965 and 220,000,000 by 1975. These
are conservative assumptions-. . ."
But as the total population grows this rapidly, the
working population will grow slowly, if at all.
"With total population increasing by 30,000,000,
the number between 20 and 65 years of age (the bulk
of our working population) will go up at the most by
7,000,000. In the group from 25 to 35 . . . there will
actually be a shrinkage of 2,000,000. On the other
hand, there will be 6,000,000 more people over 65,
and at least 16,000,000 more under 20, than there are
today."
THE conclusion he draws (only one of several in his
article) is that there is no chance of any major
unemployment in the foreseeable future. To the con
tary, he said, despite the development of "automa
tion," the big problem is going to be finding enough
people to do the work. .
It's a forecast different than some we've" seen
lately. E.A.

Matter of Fact
THE MATUSOW MESS
Washington The hearings
in the matter of Harvey Matu
sow, the self-confessed liar and
former professional government
witness, have
turned into a
tedious farce.
This is sad,
since the hear
ings could
have served a
most useful
purpose. But
no doubt it
was inevitable,
in view of the
nassinnnte 1-ii-
Stewart Alsop partisan desire
in the Congressional Committees
concerned and in the Justice De
partment to conceal their own
disgraceful role in the matter.
The Senators who have been
grilling Matusow have been
working hard to establish two
propositions: (A) That Matusow
is a liar, a fraud, and not to be
trusted, and (B) that Matusow
has come under Communist in
fluence and sponsorship. No
Congressional Committee has
ever set itself an easier task.
On Point (A) Matusow him
self is an eager and effective
witness. As for Point (B), it is
now quite clear that Matusow
fell to the Communists by de
fault. He tried to peddle his
story all over Washington and
New York. But he was so ob
viously a slippery faker that no
reputable publisher, newspaper,
or reporter would touch him
with a barge pole. In this
vacuum, the pro-Communist pub
lishers, Cameron and Kahn.with
the backing of a left-wing union,
placed a bet on Matusow in the
form of a small advance. The
bet paid off lavishly with a de
tailed confession, which of
course, the Communists have
been using to a fare thee well.
But if Matusow was so obvious
a fraud, how did it happen that
three Congressional committees
and the Justice Department as
well used him repeatedly as an
"expert witness" And if the Com
munists are now using him,
whose fault is that, if not the
fault of the Senators and Repre
sentatives and Justice Depart
ment officials who built him up

Home Building Surge
Seen by Mid-1957
Los Angeles (U.R) Some 500
West Coast appraisers concluded
the sixth annual regional con
ference of the American Insti
tute of Real Estate Appraisers
Saturday after being told a new
surge of home building can be
expected before mid-1957.
Arnold A. Wilken, Veterans
Administration, loan guarantee
officer for the Los Angeles Re
gional Office, told the appraisers
from California, Nevada, Ari
zona, Utah and Hawaii that home
construction on the West Coast
was being stimulated by the de
cision of World War II and Ko

before their GI loan privileges
expire.

1952, at the very beginning of
his career as an informer, Matu
sow testified under oath before
the Senate Internal Security Sub
committee that he "knew by
sight probably 10,000 Communist
party members in New York . . ."
This was inherently and obvious
ly a lie. Yet Matusow was an
anti-- Communist witness, a
"friendly" witness. So no ques
tions were asked.
Or again, in the autumn of
1952, speaking in Montana as
an "expert on communism,!'
Matusow said on the record that
"the Sunday section of the New
York Times alone has 126 dues
paying Communists." This par
ticular lie was spotted by these
reporters, who pointed out that
the entire staff of the Times Sun
day section numbered 87, includ
ing two part-time copy boys.
These are only examples of the
kind of obvious untruths that
should instantly have alerted the
Justice Department and the Con
gressional Committees. The
F.B.I., to its credit, apparently
dropped Matusow early, for just
such Treasons. But right through
1953, as long as Matusow said
what was expected of him, the
Justice Department went right
on hiring him and putting him
on the stand as an "expert wit
ness." In this same period, Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy was hailing
Matusow as a'great American."
This might be expected of Mc
Carthy, as long as Matusow
played the game the McCarthy
way. But many other Senators,
including those who have been
falling all over each other to show
how much they dislike and dis
approve of Matusow, heard him
respectfully when he testified as
an "expert witness," and asked
no inconvenient questions.
Fonce seemed at least con
ceivable that good might come
out of this smelly mess. There
is a crying need for an honest
and straight-forward inquiry, by
both the Congress and the Jus
tice Department, into the kind of
practices which are sure to lead
to more smelly messes much
to the delight of the Communists
if they are not corrected. For
example, a serious inquiry would
determine why neither the Com
mittee staffs nor the Justice De
partment investigators apparent
ly make any effective attempt to
establish the credibility of such
"expert" witnesses as Matusow.
A serious inquiry would also ex
amine most seriously the flatly
contradictory and demonstrably
untrue testimony of other pro
fessional witnesses.
' But it was no doubt naive to
expect any sober examination
of the problem posed by Matu
sow and his kind. For then the
Justice Department and the com
mittees concerned would have
to consider their own past prac
tices, perhaps even to admit mis
takes and that of course would
never do.

In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
In Washington, the senate
banking committee is making
what the committee's chairman,
Senator Fulbright of Arkansas,
calls a "friendly study of the
New York stock market."
Before the opening, he issued
an advance statement in which
he said that the purpose of the
inquiry is "education not ac
cusation." What the committee
wants to find out, he added, is
whether changing government
and business policies have in
fluenced the present behavior
of the stock market "for good
or ill.'l
T HAVE the feeling that Sen
ator Fulbright is a good man
for 'such a task. I think he is
more interested in FACTS than
in the manufacture of .political
ammunition.
He has an interesting back
ground. He comes of a well-to-do
but not rich 'Arkansas family.
He is a Rhodes scholar, with de
grees from Oxford University.
He has a law degree from
George Washington University,
where he was a law instructor
after his graduation. He has
served as an attorney for vari
ous government departments.
He is a former president of the
University of Arkansas. He
served in the house of represen
tatives before being elected to
the senate.
He has a certain amo'j t of
business background. His family
interests include lumbering,
newspaper publishing and farm
ownership, and he has partici
pated successfully in the man
agement of these enterprises. He
has been a small investor in
stock market securities, and ad
mits that he has made a modest
profit out of these investments.
Instead cf being ashamed of it,
he is a little proud of his profit
record.
CENATOR FuUbright is the
type of Democrat I'm person
ally inclined to trust as readily
as I'd trust ANY Republican and
a lot MORE readily than I'd
trust a LOT of Republicans in
our congress.
GETTING back to the an
nounced purposes of the in
vestigation headed by Senator
Fulbright, this is a good time to
remember that the primary
function of our great security
exchanges is to find the capital
with which to finance the ex
pansion of our great industrial
enterprises. They accomplish
this purpose by selling (in open
bid-and-take markets) SHARES
OF OWNERSHIP in these enter
prises to those who have money
to invest.
Some element of speculation
enters necessarily into this func
tion. People with money to in
vest buy shares in the owner
ship - of our corporations be
cause
1. They believe these shares
will be a good investment, re
turning a fair rate of interest
on the money invested.
2. They HOPE the shares they
buy will INCREASE IN VALUE,
thus yielding a CAPITAL profit
on their investment.
HHO THE extent that they serve
this primary - purpose, our
great stock exchanges are con
structive and practically indis
pensable components of our
American system of free and
dynamic capitalism. 5
But
We mustn't permit the purely
speculative, get-rick-quick phase
of stock exchange transactions
to OVERSHADOW their con
structive, capitol - providing
phases. When that happens, we
get boom-and-bust, as m 19.29
Senator Fulbright, I think,
feels that the kind of stock
market investigation he plans to
conduct wiU be a healthy and
constructive influence upon our
economy. I think most of us
feel that way about it.
ALONG that line, what hap
pened in New York is inter
esting. On the Big Board (the
New York ' Stock Exchange)
stocks moved higher at the open
ing, and then eased off a bit.
But at noon some of the favorites
still held gains of $1 and more.

had won 117 seats, 18 more than
an absolute majority of 99. The
Socialists and Independents won
22 and the Communists 10.
In the last Andhra Legislature,
which totalled 140 seats, the
Congress Party held 46 and the
Communists held 45.
Indian political experts are
trying to figure out, so far with
out' much success, what caused
the big . overturn. :
The Communists themselves
make no attempt to minimize the
extent of their defeat, and con
fess they are unable to explain
it.
Ajoy K. Ghosh, the Commu
nist Party general secretary, said
candidly that the party would
have to analyze and overcome
its shortcomings and weaknesses.
Kremlin Pulls Rug
The fellow-traveling Indian
weekly newspaper "Blitz" said
that disagreement between Com
munist leaders was partly re
sponsible. Blitz, too, blamed
Nehru for pursuing a Socialistic
policy and thus stealing fire
from the Communists.
But the paper also complained
that the Kremlin itself had
pulled the rug out from under
the Indian Communists.
It said that while the Andhra
election campaign was going on,
Moscow not only endorsed Neh
ru's foreign policy but praised
his domestic policy as well.
The Kremlin is "doing all it
can to butter up Nehru, and is
seeking close economic as well
as political relations.
Used Car Dealer
Tests Sunday Law
Portland (U.R) Joe Dob
bins, a Portland used car dealer,
was arrested Sunday for selling
cars on the Sabbath in order to
test the constitutionality of a
city ordinance prohibiting such
sales..
Released on nominal bail,
Dobbins, said a committee of
eight used car dealers had .ban
ded together to fight the ordi
nance. He said he felt the law
was unconstitutional because it
discriminated against a particu
lar class of businessmen.
The ordinance was passed
during the administration of
Mayor Dorothy McCullough Lee
and it prohibits any licensed
used car dealer from selling on
Sunday.

Young Girl Died
GEORGE N. TAYLOR
Years ago, out in the hills be
yond Portland, Ore., a young
girl lay dying of T.B. She never
had been in touch with church
or Sunday
School or in
fact with Chris
tian people but
lomehow a
n
New Testa
ment had come
into her hands
and this she
read constant
ly in her last
days. Toward
the end came
great weak
ness but she kept on with her
Testament. Then came a moment
when she raised up in bed and
held out her hands with a cry-
Jesus, I'm coming." At that sht
fell back dead.
So the girl with the T.B. laid
hold on Christ and if you ever
settle it that you are a sinner
and lost, Christ's blood will wash
away your sins also. For God so
loved you that he gave Christ
to die for your sins that if you
believe on Him, as Lord and
Saviour, you shall not perish but
have eternal life.. This message
