MAIL TRIBUNE
The TIP Election
If anybody were to ask us (and one or two have)
who to vote for in the Talent Irrigation district elec
tion for a director tomorrow, we would reply David
Holmes.
And don't tell us it's none of our business. Actual
ly, it is the business of even-one in Jackson county,
for the implications of the Talent project go far be
yond the borders of the Talent Irrigation district.
The project offers us our best hope of an increased
agricultural income, a greater crop diversity, a more
stable and healthier economy all around.
CO the citizens of Jackson county are in the position
of being dependent for a possible great good on
the wisdom and ability of the directors of the TID,
who must bear the responsibility of carrying on the
negotiations with the federal government, which can
ultimately lead to the construction of this vitally
needed, $22,000,000 project.
We feel that David Holmes is the better-equipped
of the two candidates to cany out this responsi
bility. IT MAY fairly be asked what are the reasons behind
our preference.
Joe Meyer, we are informed, is a good citizen, a
nice person, a raiser of tomatoes, onions, cantaloupes
and other truck crops.. Other -than this, frankly, we
know little else. He has made no other mark in the
community. And while this is certainly nothing
against him, it hardly constitutes a recommendation
for this important office.
. We question, reluctantly, his part in the recent
proposed "deal" between the secretary-manager of
the district and two of the board members. It very
likely was done in innocent ignorance. That is the
reason for our question. Innocent ignorance' of the law
governing an irrigation district ill becomes an official
of an irrigation district.
For a position as important as this, we have the
strong feeling that other qualifications are important
a knowledge of the basic problems of all segments
of agriculture, an acquaintance with the relationships
of the various levels of government, a keen mind, an
aggressive determination, to get the job done, and
experience with business practices.
These Dave Holmes has.
THE residents of Jackson county have worked long
and hard for authorization of the Talent project.
There have been claims and counterclaims as to
which political party is responsible for its success so
far. With these we are not at the moment concerned,
except to point out that it has the official and enthus
iastic support of both political parties.
The point we wish to make, and make with empha
sis, is that at this stage in the game we need the best
possible individuals to carry the work forward.
For the reasons we have listed, we hope, and hope
fervently, the voters of the Talent Irrigation district
on Tuesday will cast their ballots for Dave Holmes.

Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, Nov. 5 It seems to rain, snow and blow every
where else in the world including certain parts of California, but
not here. We have been here since September 15th and haven't
worn a raincoat yet. (There will probably be a cloudburst tomor
row and all the football games snafued as a result.)
The Girl Scouts are holding a convention here now and they
look very smart in their dark (Robin Hood) green uniforms and
jaunty caps. Too bad they couldn't have timed their convention to
fit with the American Legion convention schedule. For the Ameri
can Legion some months ago branded the Girl Scouts as a sub
versive organization. These Girl Scout officials the little girls
are not included look quite capable of disposing of such childish
nonsense either in debate or by direct action.
If this shooting of husbands keeps on the perfect present for
Pater Familias this Christmas will be a sawed-off shotgun, a bullet-proof
vest and a pair of running shoes.
Mr. and Mrs. Roland Hubbard are here at the Clift, probably
on their way to Tibet or some such distant land, but we couldn't
get the information, though we tried to. The Leonard Carpenters
are due here tomorrow after their boat and plane trip to Japan,
China and Siam. We will be glad to see them and hear all about
what is happening the other side of the world (but will call a halt
cn travel movies or post-card albums).
Some of our contemporaries in Oregon fear Sheldon Sackett
of the Coos Bay Times and various radio stations in Oregon and
California will carry out his promise to start a daily tabloid in
Portland, which will be pro-Liberal, pro-labor and give a square
deal to Wayne Morse. We can't share their alarm, our fear is he
WON'T!
There was a time some years ago when he Portland Journal
was editorially as partial to the Democratic party as the old re
liable Oregonian was to the GOP both parties in other words
were given a break. But in recent years it has been difficult to
distinguish between the two metropolitan papers politically and
at times the journal has appeared to be more rabidly opposed to
liberal political principles than the Oregonian which while con
genially conservative has had its moments of political enlighten
ment and aversion to bigotry and reaction.
The dynamic, romantic, gifted and unconventional Coos Bay
editor will put a stop to that one-sided one ring circus business in
short order if and when he operates a tabloid in the Greater
Portland field. We have known Sheldon Sackett for many years,
and been dazzled by his versatility, enterprise, self-assurance and
brilliance but when we have met him he has had so many irons
in the fire and so many high power secretaries around him that
we have never been able to get down to brass tacks, so to spealt.
For years his obliteration (financially speaking) in a cloud of
atomic dust has been predicted, but he always bobs up again, as
ebullient and enterprising as ever, usually with even more irons
in the fire, albeit often different ones.
Well anyway Sheldon Sackett is a fabulous character and an
inexhaustible one, and we can imagine no field better adapted to
his special journalistic and promotional abilities than that some
what somnambulent but populous and growing area of Oregon
known as Multnomah County.
Not only will the Democrats be given a mouthpiece for the first
time, in many years, but all the residents of the state metropolis
and environs will be given a readable and highly informative
newspaper, refusing to follow the SP, UP or PG&E line and re
fusing also to take orders or its opinions from the luncheon
table at the Arlington club!
Win, lose or draw, the journalistic battle will be something to
see and our only fear is that SOMEthing will come up between
now and the starting date to prevent this great venture and ad
venture. Plenty of the Big Boys in Portland have already started,
no doubt, to do JUST that, and they may have the power, pull
and money to do it. R.W JR.

Today and
By Walter
AGONIZING MIDDLE
EASTERN REAPPRAISAL
Although it has been known
since June that Egypt was talk
ing with the Soviets, the deal
itself nas in
S t J A
" be a surprise
with which
Britain and the
United States
are unprepared
to deal. What
has surprised
us is not so
much the pur-
waiter uppmann chase of arms
as the sudden appearance of the
Soviet Union as a great power
in the Middle East. This is a
part of the world which the Rus
sian empire, Czarist or Commu
nist, has never before been able
to enter.
After all .that has been done
to "contain" the Soviet Union by
the series of pacts set up on its
southern flank, the Soviet Union
has jumped right over the whole
containing structure and has
landedbehind it, has landed at
the strategic center of the Medi
terranean and the Middle East.
She has entered Egypt just as
the British are leaving it.
THE heavy arms shipments to
Egypt have undoubtedly ag
gravated the danger of an Egyptian-Israeli
war. But there is
no reason to think that the
Soviet Union wants such a war,
or that it could afford to let such
a war happen.
For no matter what Mr. Mac
Millan and Mr. Dulles think it
expedient to say now about a
guarantee, the fact of the matter
is that Britain and the United
States, and indeed the great ma
jority of the United Nations,
simply could not stand by and
let Egypt and its allies, armed
by the Soviet Union, crush
Israel. The Western powers have
no choice about intervening to
stop such an aggression. The
Soviet Union would then be faced
with the necessity of deciding
whether to abandon its new ally,
Egypt, or to risk an incalculable
conflict with the West.
rpHE real problem is not this
-- threatened war, which the
great powers must and which
they can prevent. The real prob
lem is that the Soviet Union is
by way of acquiring a diplo
matic base in Egypt. The polit
ical effect of the arms shipments
is to buy the influence of the
Egyptian army, which controls
the Egyptian government. Be
yond the arms deal lies the pro
ject not as yet consummated
it would appear of massive
Soviet economic assistance to
build the great dams on the Nile
River. If this project goes
through, there will be no doubt
at all that Egypt has been drawn
into the Soviet orbit.
WHETHER we like it or not
and of course we do not like
it the Soviet Union will now
be present and participating on
equal terms in the diplomacy
of the Middle East. She has very
strong cards. She is able to in
cite and support nationalist pas
sions which are predominantly
anti-Western. She has a reserve
of obsolescent arms with which
to win over the local army lead
ers. She is ready to take the
agricultural surpluses of these
primitive economies in payment
on easy terms for industrial
equipment. And being herself
the shining example of an under
developed country which has de
veloped itself quickly, she knows
how to talk the language of the
politicians, the intellectuals and
the technicians of the under-developed
nations.
What is about to happen in
Egypt should cause us to make
an agonizing reappraisal of our
own policy. For the Soviet in
cursion into Egypt may prove
to be a 'set-back for the influ
ence of the West second only to
what happened on the mainland
of China a few years ago
THE agonizing reappraisal can
beSm. " seems to me, by
noting that the Soviet Union has
landed in Egypt j u s t. as Mr.
Dulles and Mr. MacMillan were
completing their pacts to contain
the Soviet Union. These pacts
run from Yugoslavia through
Greece to Turkey and from Tur
key and Iraq through Iran to
Pakistan. In the last analysis
these pacts are based on the
notion that the Red Army will
try to march out of its own ter
ritory in order to invade and
occupy and Bolshevize its near
est neighbors. The pacts are de
fensive military arrangements
designed to hold back, to "con
tain," .the supposed march of
the Red infantry.
We have now seen that the
Soviet Union is not contained
by such pacts because it moves
forward not by marching its
army but by carefully conceived
political and economic and ideo
logical campaigns. The contain
ing pacts do not stop the Soviets,
and when countries like Iran
are included in these pacts, the
effect is to provoke, or at least
to give pretext to, Soviet re
prisal. .
WHY has Mr. Dulles . rushed
" around the world making
these pacts? Because, I venture
Tomorrow
Lippmann
to say, he is unwilling to ask
and unable to get from Congress
the money to conduct the kind
of realistic diplomacy which the
Soviets are conducting in Egypt
and elsewhere. The pacts do
little good. But they make the
headlines. And they cost little
money. The money they cost is
the kind of money that Congress,
when no one leads it to greater
wisdom, is most willing to ap
propriate. We must not fool ourselves.
The under-developed countries
among which Egypt is a key
country, are determined to de
velop themselves. There is the
Western way to develop a coun
try and there is the Communist
way. The Western way requires
the investment, with no great
prospect of a quick or large re
turn, of big capital funds. The
Communist way is to use force
and is less humane. But for that
very reason it is cheaper. Never
theless, it too requires capital
funds. But the Soviet Union can
trade these funds against the ag
ricultural surplusses of cotton
and rice which the under-developed
countries cannot sell in
the Western world.
All this seems to have escaped
the attention of Mr. John B. Hol
lister who is in charge of our
Foreign Economic Air program.
For at the very moment when
the Soviet Union is advancing in
the Middle East, Mr. Hollister
has turned up with a public dec
laration of his hope that he may
be able to help Secretary Hum
phrey do some cheese-paring on
foreign economic aid.

Today's news as it starts off
early in the morning:
There is a bus crash in North
Carolina. One person a 19
year-old student nurse was kill
ed and 32 others were injured
many of them seriously! The
bus, traveling at average high
way speed, hit. a slowly moving
truck from the rear. The truck
was crippled and was just start
ing to pull off the highway.
Bus crashes have been quite
rare in the news.
ATOTE:
Reports from the secre
tary of state's office in Salem
indicate that the number of rear
end collisions on Oregon high
ways is increasing.
That suggests that drivers are
not paying enough attention to
what is ahead of them on the
road.
JHERE is a blast furnace ex
A plosion at a steel plant in
Alabama. Three were killed
and three injured. The cause of
the blast is not yet known.
HERE is an explosion at a
-1- refinery plant in Alabama.
Two persons are missing pre
sumably dead. The fire would
have been much worse but for
the heroism of three men who
risked their lives to turn off
valves leading into huge gaso
line storage tanks.
These men had courage. They
also had quick wits.
TS THE modern world getting
A to be a more dangerous place
to live in?
Or are our modern communi
cations so perfect that we hear
about EVERYTHING almost as
soon as it happens?
T wouldn't know; but I suspect
the latter may be true.
When prehistoric man ven
tured out of his cave and was
gobbled by a saber-tooth tiger,
the news didn't spread very far.
But S lot of these early an
cestors of ours must have been
gobbled by tigers and such.
TTHE stock market this morn
ing is sharply higher af the
opening, with gains running as
much as two points in favored
issues.
Is that good?
Or is it bad?
It's good if the rise is the
result of INVESTMENT buying,
reflecting added confidence in
the future of our country. It's
BAD if it is the result of SPEC
ULATIVE buying, reflecting be
lief in coming inflation.
nTHE hog market broke again,
dropping as much as 75 cents
per hundredweight at Midwest
markets.
Why? The answer is simple.
Supply far exceeded demand.
Close to 122,000 hogs went
on sale today at 12 terminal
markets in the Middle West.
That total represents the big
gest receipts for any day this
year and the largest for a Thurs
day since 1952.
WHY so many hogs?
' " Again the answer is simple.
A year and a half ago, pork
prices were high. In the hope
of cashing in on the high prices,
too many pigs were farrowed
the next spring.
QUESTION?
If the government'buys up
the hogs at high guaranteed
prices, won't too many pigs be
farrowed every year?

Magsaysay
Test of Strength
In Philippine Vote
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
One of the best friends the
United States has will face a
test of his strength tomorrow.
He is big, hearty, corruption-
hating President Ramon Magsay
sav of the Philippines.
In a mid-term election, Fili
pinos will be voting for nine of
their country's 24 senators ana
for thousands
of provincial
governors,
mayors and
city council
lors. The two
men who were
mainly respon
sible for Mag
saysay's elec
tion in No
vember, 1953,
cnanes McLaiu are among
those who are campaigning
against him.
Magsaysay Pro-American
Though few of the election
contests are of national import
ance, Magsaysay's opponents are
looking forward to theanext pres
idential elction, to be held in
November, 1957.
Magsaysay's enemies have
been able to find but one big
accusation to make against him
that he is too pro-American.
Is That So?
Did you know that??? The ,
tower of the winds at Athens
built a century or so before the
Christian era originally bore a
weathervane at its summits?
The extinct moa, a bird of
New Zealand, is believed to
have weighed as much as 500
pounds, far larger than today's
largest bird, the ostrich.
About two-and-a-half tons of
diamonds are mined each year
a fifth of which are of gem
quality, the remainder being
used for industry.
The badger, like the well-
known skunk, has a scent gland
that can be fired by raising its
tail, but the odor is not nearly
as offensive. Usually the odor
is used by the badger for court
ship. For a long time it was be
lieved that the swift was the
only bird which moved its wings
Garden Notes
By
C. B. CORDY
County Extension
Agent for Horticulture
The control of weeds in drive
ways, along fence rows and oth
er waste areas is a problem
which continually plagues home
owners. There are a number of
chemicals available which will
kill grasses and weeds very ef
fectively. Almost all of these are
of the soil sterilent types. They
are not at all selective and kill
the roots of all plants, ornament
al as well as weeds in the area
treated.
There have been frequent in
stances where driveways have
been treated with these chemi
cals and shade trees as much as
twenty-five feet away haye been
damaged. The roots of shade
trees extend well beyond ends of
the branches. If chemicals are
put in the soil in the area of the
roots, it wili be absorbed and the
roots in that area will be killed
and frequently the chemicals are j
moved to the tops and the leaves !
damaged.
Less Chemical '
Very much less chemical is re- j
quired and most effective results !
obtained if the treatment is ap
plied in the fall just as the
grasses and weeds get started.
The borax containing compounds ;
such as Borascu are effective on ;
the weeds and present no health i
hazards. They are best used spar- ,
ingly with repeat applications as ;
they are soluble and will wash
out of the surface soil allowing :
new weeds to develop. If two j
light applications are applied
during the winter, one right now
and the other in the spring,
weeds can be readily suppressed.
If the application is very light,
then weeds reasonably close to
ornamental plants can be killed
without damage to the plants.
However, if as much is applied
as called for by the directions,
any nearby plants will be dam
aged. Very light applications
dusted onto the young weeds
will kill the weeds in a few days,
but there is not enough to poison
the soil to any depth. These light
applications are not enough to i
kill weeds after they get beyond
the early seedling stage.
To Face
His two most bitter opponents
are Claro M. Recto and Jose P.
Laurel. They, as Nationalist
party leaders, picked Magsaysay
as the man might defeat Liberal
President Elpidio Quirino for
re-election in 1953.
Magsaysay had served bril
liantly as Quirino's defense min
ister. But he resigned from the
cabinet, and from the Liberal
party, because he said the ad
ministration was ridden by cor
ruption. The biggest contest tomorrow
is one for the senate.
Broke With Backer
Recto is running for reelec
tion as senator. Though he says
he is still a Nationalist, he is run
ning as a "guest" candidate of
the Liberal party. Laurel, also
still in the Nationalist party of
ficially, is backing him.
Magsaysay broke with Recto
last July when Recto said, in a
Senate speech, that he was "an
American puppet."
Recto announced he planned
to run for the presidency in 1957
in order to keep Magsaysay from
getting a second term.
"Let him run," Magsaysay
said. "He can run as a candidate
of the Chinese Communists. I
will run as an enemy of
Communism and a friend of the
United States."

In a long chase, a mother
kangaroo lightens her load by

they all became extinct in this

to Florida in 1539.) Great ranch

had come. Offspring of these

displeased God. You hear
David's repentance in Psalm

David's sin and yours and mine.
Receive Christ as 3he Son of
God who died for you and God
blots out your sin and gives you
eternal life. Make Christ your
Lord and Savior and stand on it
that you have eteranal life. Then
by Bible and prayer, grow up.
