Vote In Saarlanders vote today on the Saar Statute, which provides for "Europeanization" of the coal-and-steel rich border basin between many. Few elections in modern ed in origin, in issues, and tiny territory of the Saar. Saarlanders are being asked to decide whether or not they want "Europeanization" of the Saar. - A vote of "Ja" would mean that the Saarlanders would continue to have their own government, but that foreign affairs and by the French, would be Western European .union. liance of France, West Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Belguim, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg would appoint a commissioner for the Saar -who could not be a Frenchman, German, would remain under French trade with West Germany THE SAAR Statute was 1 agreements of October ing the way for restoration eignty and for entry of West Germany into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But no provision was made as to what would happen should the Saarland ers reject the statute. ; ' The French say that a vote of "Nein" would mean continuance of the status quo. Pro-German parties campaigning in the Saar against the statute say its de feat would be the first step in reuniting the Saar with Germany. WEST German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and French Premier Edgar Faure in a joint communi que of Oct. 5 declared acceptance of the Statute es sential to the "unity, peace and prosperity" ol Jiur ope. Adenauer has repeatedly supported the statute in public statements and denied that he was pressured into accepting it. But prior to Adenauer's latest conference with Faure he was reported urging that the referendum be postponed until after a Landtag (parliament) elec tion could be held in the Saar. This was on the theory that such an election would get rid of the French backed Premier Johannes Hoffmann, the unpopular ity of whose regime is viewed as confusing the refer endum issues and working against acceptance of the statute. THE VOTE of confidence in the Faure government by the. French National Assembly on Oct. 18 is now considered a factor that will influence Saarland ers favorablv toward the orable was the recent . refusal of Roman Catholic church authorities to be drawn into the controversy on the Pro-German side. the chances of acceptance dim. Prior to the Adenauer-Faure man parties in "the Saar appeal for acceptance would violate a stipulation ior bidding outside interference in the referendum. Now the shoe is on another foot.

"Natural Born Citizen Gov. Christian Archibald Herter (R.) of Massa chusetts savs he's all for cleariner ud the Question of whether he's eligible for born in .Fans, where nis and where he got his first tormal scnooiing. The Constitution prescribes (Art. H, Sec. lj that only a "natural born citizen" (or a citizen when the Constitution was adopted) shall be "eligible to the office of President." And the 12th Amendment adds that no person shall be eligible for Vice-President if "constitutionally ineligible for msident. VR. HERTER is of course a citizen though he has never gone through naturalization procedure. Otherwise he couldn't have served in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1943 to 1953. 1 Whether he is a citizen natural born would seem to depend on a' court interpretation of the first clause of the 14th Amendment. This declares: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." The common-sense interpretation has long been that any person is a natural born citizen who was sub ject to U.S. jurisdiction at birth because of the U.S. citizenship of his parents, been located.

CIom Inspection Needed To the Editor: The recent bru tal slaying in Chicago of three junior citizens again points out the fact that our law enforce ment and judicial systems need close inspection and possibly overhauling. As long as offenders are re leased by the police without be ing brought to trial and as long as we pamper law breakers we will continue to have increases in crime against the people. One fact that our present psychologi cal approach to crime reduction has proven is that it-does not work. For proof of this state ment you are invited to read any newspaper. Junior citizens are too often released to the custody of par ents or guardians either by the police without being brought to trial or are released after a sim ple admonishment by the court. Adults frequently are either re leased with a warning or light sentence most of which is sus pended. It is admitted that in some cases warning by a police officer or the court is sufficient to prevent a recurrence of a minor offense or oversight, but the vast majority of . cases can not be treated lightly. Favoritism due to social,, frat ernal or religious affiliation must never influence the cause of justice. ' ; Our police officers and judges must be made to realize that they not only enforce the law but also, and more important, protect our American way of life. If we would retain the priv ileges guaranteed by the Consti tution we must constantly ob serve the conduct of our public officials and servants. : If, or when, they deviate from the laws as written we must correct them or replace them with oth ers who wUl serve the best in terests of the majority of Amer icans. . f . Dan F. Krotz n, Chairman for Community Service. Steelhead Post, VFW, Shady Cove, Ore. Misses "Rocket" To the Editor: I have come to sympathize with the neoDle of Southern Oregon who would like to get back Southern Pacific's "Rogue River Rocket," though I must confess my sympathy is engendered by a reason probably somewhat far afield from the nostalgia of Medford residents. The good old "Rocket," in bound to Portland, was 'due to pass a whistle post about a half mile from my house at approxi mately 7 a.m. On weekends I could turn over for another wink of sleep after the alarm clock went off at 6:30 a.m., for I could depend upon the good old "Rock et's" whistle at 7. Now, doggone it, I can't get that extra sleep on Saturdays and Sundays. Merle W. Manly, ' 6910 SE LakeRd., Milwaukie, Ore. More On Old Cars To the Editor: In his letter of Sept. 29, Bert Kissinger made a fine contribution to the list of old-time cars, 49 in all. There are more of course, though we'U likely never know just how many. My memory brings up a few more like the one said to be first, the Haynes, and its con tender for the title, make and break ignition on each of four cylinders, Stevens Duryea. Also in the four cylinder class was the old Pope Toledo, Locomobile, Pullman, Overland, Itala Shaw mut, Abbot Detroit, American Underslung, Big Acme, first with overdrive, the stuttering two cycle Elmore and Silent North ern with cranking lever, also made in the two-cylinder opposed witn snatt drive like the Wayne and Maxwell.'

Also outstanding oddity was the mo torcycle engined Cyclecar with tandem seats and belt drive. But oddest of all was one that rumbled up to my garage at Ft. Dodge, la., in 1905 for repairs. The running gear was a wide steel tire farm wagon that housed a 2-balance wheel stationary gas engine amidship, made available for starting, etc., by a sort of detachable barn-door affair. The owner was an elderly Iowa farm er who had wagered his two sons could build "one of them there horseless-buggies." T h big steering wheel looked like it might have been a buggy wheel, with shaft and gear reduction to the hand-forged steering knuck les. With the ".barn-door" re moved, a husky son stepped up on an engine balance wheel spoke, gave it a sharp back-kick and hit the match-starter with a ham' size fist that resulted in a mighty "whum," the make and break ignition caught on and away they thundered and clat tered. Eyes agleam with pride of accomplishment, the grizzled old farmer sat high aback of his busy sons, the breeze toying with his silvered chin-whiskers, surely the happiest and proudest man in all Iowa. : F.

Brownell Opposes Public Discussion Of GOP Nominees Denver (U.R) Attorney Gen eral Herbert Brownell Jr., said here after a 25-minute confer ence with President Eisenhower that he thinks it . would be inappropriate for any member of the administration to discuss publicly whether the chief execu tive should seek reelection. Declines Comment Asked whether his inappro priate" label on political specula tion concerning the President in 1956 applied to House Repub lican Leader ' Joseph W.- Martin Jr., who earlier this week dis cussed the desirability of Mr. Eisenhower's candidacy in 1956, Brownell declined to comment and said he was speaking only for himself. The principal result of the at torney general's visit to Denver was that Mr. Eisenhower approv ed ah extensive department of justice, program for 1956, includ ing a request to Congress for about 20 additional federal judges and legislation to make it a criminal offense to invade the privacy of a jury while it is deliberating. . Two- New Prisons Mr. Eisenhower also approved plans for two new prisons, a $7,500,000 correctional institu tion for younger prisoners to be located somewhere in the West, and a new maximum custody prison in the Middlewest to cost about $9,500,000. Brownell, one of Mr. Eisen hower's most influential politi cal advisers, said flatly that he did not discuss politics "at all" with the President today., Myrtle Point (U.R) William Hugh Waybrant, who told police he broke a street light so he could have more privacy while parking with his girl friend, was fined $10 in Municipal Court here.

THOSE MAGAZINE SALESMEN AGAIN Itinerant, magazine salesmen are reported at lareg agoin in Albany and vicinity. ' . ' Some of these salesmen may be legitimate operators. Others are just "working my way through college," or just work ing the public. " It is not always possible for the person solicited to separate the wheat from the chaff, but a safe procedure is to say no to all of them unless they are backed by some legitimate local organ ization, in which case advance publicity will herald their ad vent. Furthermore there are per manent local agents who can probably give you just as good a deal on magazines and peri odicals as the "bargains" offered by the transients. Bona fide solicitors do jiot hesitate to clear with the Cham ber of Commerce and police de partment. If they are sponsored by a worthy local organization there'll be something in your local daily-newspaper about it. Albany Democrat-Herald The world's climate is under going a slow but profound change: summers are getting longer and hotter, winters are growing milder and shorter; and as icecaps are retreating, oceans are steadily rising. . . Taking the cumulative . evi dence of the past century, the change is of first magnitude.. It is as though, within a century, Montreal, Quebec, had inherited the climate of New York City; New York that of Baltimore; and New Orleans that of Yuca tan! The few long-time records in dicate that an increase of one to four degrees has taken -place from Arctic to Antarctic. Since T 10-22-55 1850, the mean annual tempera ture of Washington, D.C., has in creased three degrees (and per haps affected our legislation). In Boston, the mean winter temper ature has risen degrees. In Montreal, the mean March tem perature has gone up nearly four degrees and subzero tempera tures have been only half as common in recent years as they were at the end of the 19th cen tury. With it, snowfall which averaged 130 inches in the 1.800s is now closer to 80 inches, sel dom exceeding 100. To be sure, these one-fourth degree changes may seem trivial. But look: though slight, they have already produced startling effects in our northland. When the Russian icebreaker Sedov drifted across the Arctic ocean in 1939 covering the same route as Nansen's Fram almost a half century earlier, it encountered temperatures 32.7 degrees warm er and ice reduced in thickness from 140 to 86 inches. Hudson Bay is now ice-free for several weeks longer each winter. The White sea in Russia is open to navigation about a month longer than before. Long-frozen car casses of mammoths in Siberia and Alaska are being uncovered as the permafrost is retreating yard by yard. And with it, the north polar ice cap is retreating approximately a mile a decade. A British weather specialist, C.E.P. Brooks, estimates that the polar ice caps are now down to their "critical size" the size at which they no longer can chill passing air masses enough to maintain themselves with fresh snow and that their rates of meuing, accordingly, may in crease rapidly in the years to come. And, this of course, will raise the levels of oceans. Once the icecaps are melted, the oceans will rise at least 90 feet flooding tremendous areas of the earth's surface and dislocat ing practically all of today's modern harbors. We are now, of course, speaking in terms of cen turies. Plants Moving Northward With the present century's re treat of the permafrost, plants are moving northward. In north ern Quebec, for example, larches and birches are not only grow ing faster than they did 40 years ago but beginning to move into barren areas well north of the former timber line. In parts of Canada, today, wheat cultivation has already advanced northward 200 to 300 miles. With the stimulation of plant growth, insects move farther north, too. And as - they move north, birds go with them. Since 1920, as any ornithologist will tell you, there has been a notice able increase in the number of species of birds wintering in our northern states, particularly our northeastern states. Mammals, too, are moving their geographi cal boundaries northward: opos sums "are found today where they have not been known since the white man came to America. With the warming up of our northern waters, fish are moving north, too. Only 40 years ago, west coast Greenlanders used to live by hunting seal and walrus; now they live by fishing for cod which has moved northward over 250 miles. Far-Reaching Chang In this climatic change, the ef fects upon animals and humans can be far-reaching. Climate af fects the life processes in warm climates, growth tends to be rer tarded. As everyone knows, tropical peoples tend to be small er and lighter in physique than those in temperate ""zones; farm animals, too, tend to be smaller and take much longer to reach marketable weight. ; In laboratory tests, animals raised in a hot environment ma ture late, conceive late, and moreover are less fertile through out their lives.. (Popular beliefs, notwithstanding human females, too, mature from 1 . to 3 years later in the tropics than in the north temperate zone.) . . .

It was labelled "Happy Birth day. United Nations." The distaff contingent of the staff lit the candles, which were duly blown out. As the cake was cut, an office wit remarked. "A UN cake, huh?

At age 26 and only three years out of West Point, MacArthur began in 1906 a brief tour of duty as aide to President Theodore Roosevelt By 1913 he was a youthful mem ber of the Army General Staff. President Woodrow Wilson promoted MacArthur rapidly in Worl War I. He was the Army's youngest major general.

It was in that job that MacArthur discovered a bright young officer familiarly known as Ike. The brilliance of MacArthur's miind and military career per suaded euR to put the entire Southwest Pacific under Mac- Arthur's command in World War II. Thereafter the charm was broken.
