ALLEN'S ALLEY B:on AJ.PJ A newly dedi cated street in downtown Boston is "Allen's Alley," renamed in hpnor of the late comedian, fced Allen. IP formerly was City Half) 4venue. A native Bostonian. Allen walked through it npiny time during his MAIL TKIBUME How About Harris Ellsworth? The Washington Post, Washington, D.C., earned the following editorial in a recent issue, quote : WHY ELLSWORTH? The President has chosen well in nominating Chris topher H. Phillips to be a member of the Civil Service Commission and in continuing Frederick L. Lawton for an other term. Mr. Phillips, although he is only 36, already has a distinguished career behind him in the State De partment and the Massachusetts Senate. Mr. Lawton, a former Director of the Budget, and the only Democratic member of the Civil Service Commission, also has served well and deserved reappointment. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the appoint ment to the commission of former Rep. Harris Ellsworth of Oregon. Mr. Ellsworth displays no particular qualifica tions for this post, and his nomination contrasts sharply with the other two. The Senate will want to question Mr. Ellsworth closely, for example, on his general attitudes toward public responsibility and the spoils system. His role as a champion of private interests against public interest in natural resources administration and legislation is not reassuring. Far more than ideological considerations seem ed to be involved in the Al Sarena mining case, in which Mr. Ellsworth got the Interior Department to permit pri vate exploitation of valuable Oregon timber resources un der the cover of a questionable mineral claim. Retiring CSC Chairman Philip Young and Commis sioner George M. Moore have made distinct contributions to improvement of the Civil Service, although Mr. Young's record is marred by his leading role in the security risk "numbers game." Many important tasks remain for the recognized Commission that will require the fullest mea sures of dedication and integrity. A more than perfunctory consideration of the nominations by the senate is in order. On political grounds, we agree with the above. But the fact is the appointment of Ellsworth was not to a political but to a non-political federal unit, name ly: the U.S. Civil Service commission. In fact the "C.S.C." might be labeled an anti political organization, for, in theory at least, it dis regards the political label entirely, and makes its decisions on individual and non-partisan merit alone. THE Mail Tribune would oppose the selection of 1 former .Congressman Ellsworth to ANY political post just as we have opposed him for reelection ever since he went over to "McCarthyism," and cam paigned on the ridiculous contention that the Demo crats were not only soft on communism, but favored a f oral of socialism that was equivalent to communism the two terms, he said, being synonymous, etc., etc. TTHE Mail Tribune had supported the former Rose- burg newspaper editor nearly half a dozen times, but when he descended to the "Joe McCarthy" level for the sake of votes, we bid him goodbye, and have opposed him ever since. DUT this appointment is another kettle of fish. u We never questioned Hams Ellsworth's es sential honesty, his slow but sure ability, or his con scientiousness, moreover always having had a friend ly feeling toward the man personally we saw no reason and see no reason now to oppose his ap pointment to the U.S. Civil Service Commission. Whether named chairman or not we believe Ells worth will be a usefull member of that organization, and are glad the boys have taken care of "Harris," after his 14 years of devout devotion to what this de partment regards as the most reactionaiy and least desirable elements in the "Grand Old Party." flE CAN'T go along, however, with the many Re- v publican papers in the state who are trying to make people believe that as Congressman, Mr. Ells worth was some sort of hero in the much-publicized and unsavory "Al Sarena" case. Probably more than anyone else in the congress he was instrumental in securing favorable action from the Department of the Interior, which allowed this harvesting of federal timber worth several thou sand dollars at the "give away" rate of $5 an acre. Only after the horse had escaped from the stable did he shut the door. And then by legislation which will allow a repetition of this "deal" by any individ ual, or group of individuals, who have enough ef frontery to disregard the recommendations of the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and enough cash in the bank to pay all the development work in one year, instead of five. OOWEVER, as strongly as we fought this sort of "give away," we, never doubted that as far as Congressman Ellsworth personally was concerned, he was guilty of no duplicity, but was merely being true to his weird conception of good government from the standpoint of good business,' good profits, and what the G.O.P. "Higher Ups" in the Lower House desired. Needless to say, not our idea of the type that should represent this state in Washington. But, as in dicated, in an administrative position on a non-political board, we could not see, and still don't see, any valid reason to oppose him. R.W.R. Delay Proposed in Guard Training Plan Washington U.PJ Rep. Overton Brooks proposed a one year postponement today in the Army's plan to require six months active duty for young recruits to the National Guard. The Louisiana Democrat said he might offer the idea as a com promise in the controversy be tween the Army and the Guard over how much training young guardsmen should have. Brooks is chairman of a House Armed Services subcommittee which has conducted long hear ings on the dispute. The Army contends that 80 per cent of the guardsmen now lack enough training and has ordered all guard recruits to serve six months active duty after April 1. Tuesday, February 19. 1957 Soil Bank Payment Expansion Voted Washington U.R) The House Agriculture committee by a close vote today approved a Democratic plan calling for vast expansion in soil bank payments to farmers for taking land out of production. The measure was approved over Republican opposition. A bitter floor fight is expected be tween Democratic farm leaders and administration forces when the bill is considered in the House. One member said the vote in committee was 17 to 15. The Democratic plan would set up two supplementary pro grams of soil bank subsidies. It also would grant, in modified form, the administration's re quest for restoration of last year's soil bank benefits for commercial corn growers. Negotiations Slated Between U.S., Poland By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent The United States is prepar ing to strengthen the Commu nist government of Poland, which a few months ago was R u s s ia's No. 1 satellite. An official Polish delega tion is to leave Warsaw today for Wash ing ton to start n e g o t iations for an impor aid agreement. Charles HcCaup tant economic There seems no doubt that the negotiations will be successful. The negotiations are opposed both by many Polish Commu nists and by many American anti - Communists. Polish exiles in the United States and Britain are divided on the issue. A Political Move The Polish Communists who oppose it are those who are still fighting the breakaway of their government from Russian domi nation. The Americans in oppo sition are those who, as Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland put it, are against aiding any Communist country behind the Iron Curtain. The Polish delegation will be made up solely of financial and economic experts. But the mo tive behind the American deci Matter of Fact MEMO FOR BUSINESSMEN Kemerovo On this Siberian journey I have by now talked at very great length with the lead ers of eight important bus iness enterpri ses, ranging in size from the local branch of the Soviet In dustrial Bank to the vast Ku zbas Coal Combi ne, which con Joseph Alsop trols all the mines in this great regional center of the Soviet coal and iron industries. It has been a remarkable ex perience in many ways, and not the least remarkable for the light thrown on the way busi ness is don in this strange Soviet society. So this is a memoran dum for American businessmen, who may wish to know how their Soviet opposite numbers tackle their jobs. Soviet business, in the first place, is overwhelmingly the business of mining and industrial production. The service indus tries that all but dominate the American scene hardly exist in" this country. As for retail trade, with every class of consumer goods in more or less short sup ply, the chief problem of the trading organizations is to keep reasonable stocks of goods in their chains of shops. Also each major Soviet in dustry is organized under a "Ministry," but this "Ministry" is very unlike any American idea of a government depart ment. In fact, it very closely re sembles the head office of the General Motors Corporation in all ways but one. Instead of do ing half of the total business in its industry, the Ministry does all the business. ... AS WITH General Motors, there are also divisions and subdivisions. An enterprise bear ing the proud title of "Kombi nat" deals directly with the Min istry itself. A very big combine, like the coal combine here, may be further subdivided into "thrusts" in which several mines or factories are grouped to gether. Or a combine may con sist of a single gigantic produc ing unit, like the vast cotton tex tile plant I saw at Barnaul, which will eventually produce 400 kilometers of finished cloth each day and thus supply most of Siberia. The capital structure of these Soviet enterprises is both simple and logical. Funds for a new en terprise are allocated in the state budget, and advanced by the Ministry through the local branch of the industrial bank. Once production has started the plant director is expected to make profits. Out of his gross profit, he re tains a relatively small amount each year in a reserve fund, which he may spend at his own discretion for needed repairs or improvement. He further pays amortization on his build ings and machinery into an amortization fund at his Min istry. And finally, he pays all his remaining profit what would be the net profit in the United States into his Minis try's profits fund. H E CANNOT count on the sums he pays into the am ortization fund being spent to modernize his own plant. It is for the Ministry to decide where this money is invested. He can not count, either, on the sums he pays into the profits fund be ing used to expand his own in dustry. It is for the state to decide which industries are ex panded, and, the immense profits earned by the consumer indus tries are largely used to finance the expansion of heavy industry. There are two other kinds of (Mi sion to negotiate with the Polish Red regime is political. The American government be gan considering aid to Poland after Wladyslaw Gomulka once called Poland's "little Sta lin" was made leader of his country's Communist party last Oct 20. More Freedom Noted The State department an nounced on Feb. 7 that it had planned to start negotiations with the Gomulka regime. This will be the first time in recent years that the United States has conducted important negotia tions with any Communist re gime except that of Yugoslavia, whose President Tito threw off Russian domination in 1948. It is not generaUy noticed that Poland, since its rebellion, has gone farther from repressive Communist rule in a few months than Yugoslavia has in nearly nine years. Even though they are still under Red rule, even though Russian troops are still on their soil," Poles have more freedom than the people of any other Communist country. One indication that the Polish negotiations are advisable is that the Russians and their re maining satellite leaders do not favor them. , Their only present hope of get ting Poland back under Russia's thumb seems to lie in the possi bility that Gomulka's regime will break down. By Joseph Alsop I decisions that the head of a Sov iet piuumixig eiiieiiJiiae uucs not have to make, either. He does not have to make decisions about sales. He maintains con tact with his customers, but actual sales are handled by his Ministry's nationwide supply or ganization. And he does not have to make decisions about build ing new plants or greatly ex panding old ones. Any major capital investment has the status of a "project," and projects are prepared by the Ap propriate Projects Institute at tached to the Ministry. But the head of an established enterprise for which a "project" is being drawn up will of course be con sulted by the institute in charge. And the men who consult him are likely to be old friends of his, since the higher staffs of the projects institutes are recruited from among the most successful heads of producing enterprises. pPRODUCTION is in fact the chief business of the Soviet businessman. To be sure, he must deal with his bankers like his American opposite numbers, getting short term loans at low rates of interest frbm the state bank to finance inventory; ex pansions and other transactions. To be sure, he has certain pol itical and social responsibilities. As head of his factory or mine, he is the master of a virtually self contained community, with its own housing, social services, centers of amusement and so on. And in addition, he is very like ly to be a member of the district committee of the Communist party. But all these other activities of the Soviet businessman are completely subordinated to the central activity of producing more and more at less and less cost with fewer man hours of labor used on the job. The trend of the gross national product of this iron society indicates the results achieved. 1957 New York Herald Tribune Ine. Higher Disability Payments Approved Washington U.R) The House Veterans committee to day unanimously approved high er benefit payments for disabled veterans. It voted without dissent to in crease by more than 25 per cent payments to totally disabled veterans and to hike payments by 10 per cent for other veter ans with service connected dis abilities. Chairman Olin E. Teague (D. Tex.) pledged to do everything he can to get speedy House ap proval of the bill. The new measure would raise from $181 to $225 a month pay ments made to veterans with 100 per cent disabilities received in service. It would increase payments for partial disabilities by $2 to $16 per month, depend ing on the degree of disability. Eagle Point Man Is Sentenced in Court Lowell Oakley Pogue, route 1, box 134, Eagle Point, was sen tenced to 90 days in the county jail today after he pleaded guil ty in district court to a charge of petty larceny. Pogue admitted taking 11 manganese plates belonging to David McCormick, route 1, box 125, Eagle Point, earlier this month. According , to sheriff's deputies, McCormick claimed the plates Vfpre valued at $520 Pogue allegedly sold them for S7. District Judge Rawles Moore said Pogue would be eligible for parole after 30 days. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I suppose you are wondering what this Arab-Israeli ruckus that threatens an explosion in the Middle East is all about. It's a LONG story. It began awa-a-a-y back in 1400 B.C. when the Jewish people under their great leader Joshua con quered the land known as Pale stine and took it away from then Canaamtes and the Philistines. For some 1500 years, it re mained the undisputed" home of the Jewish people. Then in the year 70 A.D. the Romans con quered Palestine and destroyed the Jewish state. The Romans muddled along with it for some 600 years, and then it fell into the hands of the Moslems, who were then embarking on a world conquest bender. In the course of a century they built up an empire that stretched from southern France to India. Pale stine was a tiny part of this vast domain. It remained under Mosl pm rule until World War I. when the British drove the Turks out. i It should be added that there was plenty of fighting during this long period, including the wars of the Crusades. IN 1917 (after having driven the Turks out of the Holy Land) the British government issued the famous Balfour Declaration, which promised the Jews of the world that they could build a national homeland in Palestine. That was the beginning of what is now the state of Israel. Thousands of Jews began to flock to the Holy Land, and that aroused the fears and the anger of the powerful Arab leaders. Wars followed. The British toughed it out for some 30 years, but gave it up in 1947 and laid the problem in the lap of the United Nations. ' In 1948, the Jews of Palestine proclaimed the state of Israel, with Tel Aviv as its capital, and organized a provisional govern ment. This provisional govern ment was made permanent in 1949. But it'donl stop the fight ing. The Jews and the Arabs have been fighting more or less continuously ever since. THE . Jews brought- modern methods- and business prin ciples to Palestine. They built ir rigation systems and provided modern agricultural methods and machinery. The desert began to blossom like the rose. They built factories and began to make things for people to use --modern things, such as we have in America. They profited employment and good wages for Jews and Arabs alike. The coun try began to prosper as it had never prospered before. All this INFLAMED THE FEARS of the medieval Arab rulers, who could see their pow ers and their perquisites being steadily eroded if things like that were permitted to go on. So the fighting continued, more or less without cessation. The situation came to a head when Egypt's Nasser seized the Suez canal and the Israelis and the British and the French launched their ill-starred re taliatory war a few months ago. 1I7HY should we mix into this centuries-old mess? I tried to explain that in this space a few days ago. SINCE the dim beginnings of history, this Middle East area has been the most strategic spot on earth. It is now more strateg- ic than ever before because of the recently developed fact that perhaps THREE FOURTHS OF THE WORLD'S KNOWN OIL RESERVES ARE LOCATED THERE. The modern world de pends on oil. ' We face this brutal iact: If somebody doesn't prevent it, Russia will move in and TAKE OVER this Middle East, with its strategic location at the crossroads of the world's great trade routes AND ITS VAST STORES OF OIL. w HO will be the somebody? It looks like we're elec- ted. Nobody else in the world is strong enough. Britain hand led the situation for a long, long time. But Britain is GONE. She knows it herself. We stand alone as the only nation powerful enough to do the job. If we don't do it if we lack the courage to face our respon sibilities Russia may be able to gain the resources that will enable her to conquer the world INCLUDING US. Suit Says Planes Disrupt Home Life KnoxviUe, Tenn. (U.R) The U.S. Court of Claims conducted a hearing today in a $50,000 fede-al law suit in which a sales engineer claims Air Force planes have disrupted his home life. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wright sued the federal government, charging low-flying jets at near by McGhee Tyson Air Base have cracked plaster, interrupted television programs and scorch ed tree tops -at their swank Mimosa Heights home. Wright testified the noise of one jet frightened children at a birthday party, sending- them running and screaming to "their mothers like chicks to a ben." Legislative By ERIC ALLEN JR. Mail Tribune Managing Editor Salem Few people here wish to predict how long this 49th session of the Oregon state legislature will last, but none of them believe it will be any shorter than the 1955 session, which wound up in May. A lot of work has been done so far, but much more remains to be' done. And the 90 mem bers have yet to come to grips with the big, central problems which must be solved before the session can end. One can find heated discus sions in the legislative halls and committee rooms and in the lob bies on almost any subject. But agreement is general that tax ation is the biggest question mark of the session. Appropriations Pose Problem And taxation that is, how much is to be raised, and in what way in turn is intimate ly related to the biggest state appropriations, which this year as in most years, are education, both on the lower and higher level, and public welfare. The public welfare budget will not be markedly different than the one in past years perhaps a million or so dollars more. But the state system of higher education has requested a "shock budget" this year, much of the increase for faculty sal aries, and the rest to prepare the state's university and colleges for the vastly increased enroll ments coming in the next few years. The budget presented by ex-Gov. Elmo Smith cut the re quest by a few million dollars, but Gov. Robert Holmes has in dicated he supports the full bud get. And legislators who have studied the budget in detail de clare, perhaps with reluctance, that it appears to be sound and well thought out. School Support Hike The third item and perhaps the "iffiest" one of the lot, is in the basic school support propos al, which would raise the pres ent state contribution of $80 per census child per year up to $120 per year, or some amount in be tween. School people are fairly unan imous that this S120 fieure. i which would make the state's contribution y primary and sec ondary education about 50 per cent of the cost of educating a child, is a "must" if schools are to continue doing a good job. But even here there are dis agreements, and these stem in large part from the way in which this big state appropria tion should be divided. Most downstate school districts do not favor the present formula under which the money is distributed. claiming that metropolitan areas (chiefly Portland) get an un fairly large portion of the money. They have presented a new formula for distribution. which puts more emphasis on the equalization factor of the formula than on outright per pupil grants, as does the present formula. But under the proposed for mula, PorUand would receive less money, proportionately, than it does now, unless the ba sic school support basis is raised from $80 to about $112. Work ing out the relationship be tween these two proposals, therefore, is one of the things which must be accomplished be fore the total tax needs of the state can be known. The same complicated inter relationships of a hundred dif ferent proposals are similarly slowing the process of the legis lature. The people who are depend ent on state funds for their jobs (such as the educators and school people), are not hesitant in ask ing for the money they honestly believe necessary to do their jobs well. It is the job of the legislators (and principally the members of the Joint Ways and Means committee) to weigh these requests, and then balance them against the arguments against them, and against expected in come. As the budget is taking shape, the taxation committees must try to figure out where to raise the money to meet the budget needs. It is in this role that they have hardly done more than skim the surface so far. The House several weeks ago killed, by majority vote, a com bination sales tax and income tax proposal, against the ad vice of some members who wanted it sent back to commit tee where it could still be re vived if necessary. It also appears probable that the property tax will be elim inated as a source of stats funds, Hear REV. ROBT.

Central at Third Medford EVERYONE 0 NO WELCOME COLLECTION Letter being reserved to local units of government. As a result, the legislature faces 8 situation where the only major way of raising the money to pay for state needs is through greatly increased income taxes. There has been considerable talk about increasing exemp tions for dependents, thus ad ding to the number of low- bracket taxpayers who would have to pay little or no tax, which would result in lowered income from this source. Double Question The question, at this moment. is a double one. How much money should the state spend? And how should it be raised? The answer to the first ques tion ranges from $259 million (as proposed m ex-Governor Smith's budget), to some $318 million, which is one estimate of the amount which would be re quired to finance Governor Holmes' proposals including the increased basic school sup port fund and the bigger bud get for the system of higher education. The lower figure ($259,000,- I 000) could have been raised by income taxes at present levels. plus using some of the state's $30-odd-mulion surplus expect ed at the end of the biennium. The latter figure cannot be raised by present methods. And now before the legislature are bills which, if enacted, would increase that total even higher such things as more than half a million dollars for a meat in spection program, a couple of hundred thousand for starting state support of local and re gional libraries, more than $300, 000 for construction of new 4-H facilities at the state fair grounds and a number of others for small er amounts all for purposes considered both worthy and im portant by their supporters. County's Legislators Jackson county's legislators Sen. Philip B. Lowry and Reps. Robert Duncan and Al Littrell in common with other mem bers of both House and Senate, have devoted much thought to this basic and continuing quan dary of popular government. How much do the people real ly want their state government to do in the way of spending t for increased state services? And if they want these services at a high level, how do they believe they should be paid fori They all would appreciate hearing from people at home on these questions. They say they feel "cut off" from public senti ment at home, and wish they could return to Jackson county more frequently. Considerable Pressure They have been under consid erable pressure to approve the 4-H fairgrounds building, the meat inspection measure, and others. At the same time, Jack son county is one area of the state which seems, generally, to favor some form of sales tax which is now dead for this session (except by a two-thirds vote of the house to reverse it self, which is highly unlikel. In addition to this basic dil emma, of course, are literally hundreds of bills, each of which someone thinks should pass, and each of which must have some consideration, even if only enough to bury it in a commit tee. These range through the entire field of legislation, from agriculture to welfare, and from commerce to local government, to military affairs. The wonder, to some observ ers, is how the legislatures turn out as much basically good leg islation as it does and how little poor. easy Mr. Insurance "fcfe". V. FRED fV&l .
