Tragedy at Astoria
Parts of Astoria were on the move again last week.
It's unfortunate that at a safe distance it can
appear slightly amusing to think of part of a city
sliding down hill.
At close quarters, however, it's anything but fun
ny. The Astorian Budget, which in recent days has
carried full news coverage of the event together with
pictures of the sliding.hillside, had this to say:
To the people whose homes are tossed, undermined and
twisted by the flow of earth, such a slide as this is tragedy.
Perhaps it is a home that has sheltered a family for nearly
a lifetime. Perhaps it is a new home recently finished and
barely paid for at high cost ...
It's worse than a fire, which strikes quickly and is over.
In this sort of disaster one can see one's home gradually
torn apart while one is still living in it, hoping against hope
that the movement will cease before it is too late.
N
0 ONE knows for sure the cause of the slides. The
"Rndo-pt savs there have been rennrts nf some
0 - - x
slides on the hillsides of the town since the earliest
settlements. But only in the past few years have they
been destructive of property and utilities.
The newspaper speculates that a severe earth
quake in 1949 might have jarred loose a stratum of
earth on the north side of the hill, and that since then
freezing weather followed by heavy rain may have

IERTAINLY heavy rainfall has something to do
with it, for the slides in each case have followed
soaking downpours. The current slide occurred after
four inches of rain fell in less than two days.
Whatever the cause, it is a tragedy to the people
whose homes are involved. Many, of them have lost
thousands of dollars worth of property, and have be
come dependent on the Red. Cross and other agencies
for assistance.
We visited the town in 1953 when that year's
slide was at its worst, and the crumpled, twisted, slid
ing homes presented an awesome and depressing
sight. E.A.
Intrigue
We hope that the full and true story of Dr. Otto
John will be told someday.
On the surface and from the little we have been
permitted to learn, it sounds like an amazin'g and fas
cinating story of international intrigue, cloak and
dagger stuff to put E. Phillips Oppenheim into the
bush leagues.
TT COULD' turn out to be a simple and sordid tale
of a traitor, or of a man drugged and abducted.
But that isn't convincing, somehow not in view
of Herr John's long record of fabulously successful es
pionage and intelligence work for Germany. It would
satisfy our thirst for the dramatic a bit more to learn
that it was all a complicated and subtle plot to learn
more of the operations of the Communists in East
Germany.
Whatever the upshot of the matter may be,
though, it is fairly apparent that Dr. John has no
future as an effective secret operator against the
Reds. E.A.

Matter of Fact by
THE DEFENSE FRAUD
Washington The country has
not yet been told the real story
of next year's defense budget
which can per
haps turn out
to be a life-and-death
story for
every Ameri
can. The Admin
istration has
proudly an
nounced an in
crease in de
fense spending
of about $1 bil
lion, raising
Joseph Also
the total in the new budget to
about $35.5 billion. Great ef
forts have been made to convey
the impression that this belated
concession to the requirements
of national defense is both gen
erous and adequate. Nothing
could be more misleading.
The history of the increase is
simple enough. On the one hand,
defense spending in the current
fiscal year has
been held down
by one- shot
savings on a
very big scale,
e s rj e cially in
the Air Force,
more one -shot
savings were
possible next
year. Hence a
substantial in
crease of spend
Stewart Also?,
ing would have
been necessary m any case, in
order to avoid quite serious cuts
in fighting power.
On the one hand, the KiUian
Report on guided missiles de
velopment, first described in this
space, has also forced the Eisen
hower policy makers to face a
really gruesomely unpleasant
fact. In effect, the Killian Re
port said that we were behind
the Soviets in guided missiles;
that we were getting further
behind all the time, and that we
would have to spend substantial
sums to catch up.
,
TVEN the most ardent budget
balancers did not wish to ac
cept responsibility for' this kind
of fatal lag. Hence the National
Security Council voted, some
time ago, to give, guided missile
development an overriding pri
ority. Thus spending on missile
programs had to be increased by
about S600 million, or 60 per
cent of the entire announced in
crease in the total budget.
Spurred on by the Treasury
and the Budget Bureau, Secre
tary of Defense Charles E. Wil
son tried long and hard to hold
the budget at the current level,
His aim was to borrow enough
money from the Peter of general
defense costs, in order to pay the
Paul of guided missile develop
ment and to compensate, as well,
for the absence of further one
shot savings. In the end, the re
sistance was too great. Further
concealed cuts in fighting power
were not made, after all.
But except in the single sphere
of guided missiles, this leaves
the defense problem almost ex-
actly where it was before bud
get-making began. A few fairly
horrifying examples will show
the nature of the problem clearly
enough.'
A FTER producing no less than
15,000 Mig-15 fighters, the
Soviets are throwing this im
mense investment on the dump
heap, and are rapidly replacing
The Migs with the highly super
ior "Farmer" and "Flashlight"
day and -night-fighters. When
this became obvious last spring,
Secretary of Defense Wilson de
clared that money was available
from existing' Air Force funds
to step - up procurement of our
own advanced fighters, the F-
101B, . the F-102 night-fighter,
and the F-104.
Wilson promised to order the
step-up immediately, and then
broke the promise. Nearly six
months went by before increased
fighter procurement was finally
ordered. Moreover, the increase
was not massive. While the So
viets are getting "Fanners" and

What Poujade, a newcomer to
politics, will do remains to be
seen.
But he and two small extreme
right wing groups which sup
port his party have entered 180
candidates in the campaign.
Both Thorez and Poujada are
expected to profit by the deep
split in the moderate parties.
Premier Edgar Faure leads the
moderate right wing and former
Premier Pierre Mendes-France
leads the moderate left wing.
Once political allies, and inti
mate friends, they now are ene
mies. Thorez five years ago was
called the most powerful Com
munist in Europe next to Josef
Stalin of Russia.
He suffered a stroke in Octo
ber, 1950, and was long an in

and is campaigning vigorously.

powerfully-built, with tousled
hair, he is one of the most popu

in the new defense budget will
actually give this country about
30 per cent fewer new aircraft
than were ordered under the
current budget.
Other examples could be cited
at great length. For instance,
there is the fairly hair-raising
fact that the Soviets are now

for atomic war. But whereas the

stars like Aldebaran glow in
pale rose. Those stars of inter
mediate temperatures give a
yellow light; and Betelgeuse,
which is more than 3,000 times
brighter than our sun7 gives off
an orange to topaz glow.
As for our planets, Venus is

Mars red. Being planets, they
don't twinkle like stars. Be
cause they are comparatively

Not Socialism
To the Editor: Mail Tribune
columnist Frank Jenkins may
be a good newspaper man, but if
he actuaUy believes what he
preaches his knowledge of po
litical systems could be greatly
improved. In his column of Dec.
13 he refers to the British labor
government under Clement Att
lee as socialist. He also refers
to government ownership of in
dustry under the British labor
party. Neither of- these asser
tions is based upon fact and con
sequently can be reduced to pro
paganda and malarkey.
The British labor government
never owned one screw, nut, or
bolt of industry, no more than
it owned the money in the Bank
of England which was also na
tionalized. All 'industry re
mained in private hands and was
operated for private profit.
There is absolutely no relation
ship whatever between privately
owned property and socialism.
Before socialism can exist pri
vate profit must be destroyed.
Economic regimentation or na
tionalization for emergency does
not .border the remotest area of
socialism.
Quite often Mr. Jenkins ex
presses great fear that some dark
night our own country will be
overcome by socialism through
the building of public power pro
jects, farm relief, etc. Allow
this factor to be pointed out: As
long as American business ex-'
tends $34,000,000,000 of install
ment credit to working people,
and financial institutions re
willing to finance the credit,
and expect to be reimbursed from
the "profits" of labor, we are a
long, long ways .from socialism.

Kiddies Grow Up
1 GEO. N. TAYLOR
You married and kiddies came.
And they grew up. As you had
Bible and prayer, day by day,
you found tnat
they liked best
the parts of the
Bible ' that had
action. Did you
kneel by the
kitchen stove for
prayer? The
littlest ones
stumble and
stagger at first
first but later
they will sur
prise you. In years to come,
when the going is rough, you
folks will have the faith to smile
through their tears. For faith
comes from the Bible. See Ro
mans 10:17.
A boy of school age of our
circle was so injured that he
died. His people were of Bible
stock and long before his death,
the boy had taken Christ into
his heart as the Saviour' . who
died for his sins. Now watch that
mother. She knows that there
wUl be a glad family reunion
'over there." And what for you
and yours? Let them have Christ
down deep and eternal life is
theirs. And is Christ your Lord
and Saviour also?
