Free Better, World Must rove earsor Roosevelt Declares i heir dea Labor Press itorial Read By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT Xew York I agree whole Jertedly with the statement J8rie the other day by Anthony 2v"tting of Great Britain in hich he said we need to fight jfcjr our system rather than just Xlefativcly to oppose commu J:sm. It is not enough just to jay that we do not like the Com Oiunist idea. We will have to prove that our own idea is better and can accomplish more. We should not be frightened fcy scientific achievements easily explained by the fact that the Soviet government has given money and men for these new developments. We have been complacent, have shown little interest and given as little money and as few men as possi ble to the work which we knew should go on. We were more in terested in our comforts, in letting large companies make .-eat profits, in having all the luxuries possible in this com fortable world of ours. Greater Confidence Needed What we need is not fear but (Hreater confidence and a real dedication to our beliefs. In the United States we are the show case for the possibilities inher ent in a free world. If the lives of people here are not better than the lives of people any where else in the world, then the uncommitted people who THE FINEST WOOD .0 HEATER , f0 'So 24 HOUR THERMOSTATIC DOWNDRAFT WOOD HEATERS BUDGET TERMS W will repair your Old Stove or tell you the necessary parts if you Do-lt-Yoursclf.

Turkey denies this. (International Soundpkoto) are looking for leadership na turally will turn to those who are dedicated and working for something even more than they are working against something. We have taken no trouble to invite delegations from other parts of the world to look at our system, to see what we are doing under government aus pices. If others were interested, they could come, but we didn't care much whether they came or not. This is not the attitute of the government of the Soviet Union. And we must remember that in Asia and Africa and even in parts of South America there are people today who are closer to the conditions that existed 40 years ago in the Soviet Union than they are to the conditions that have existed in the U.S. for many years past. Real Challenge The Soviets can say to them: "We know your conditions. Our people were hungry, too, not only for food but for health and education, for knowledge and the possibilities lying before us in order to have hope in the fu ture. Look at what we have done in 40 years. Take heart. We can help you." This is a real challenge which requires understanding on our part, dedication to our ideals and a willingness to have all our people recognize this challenge so that they will stop thinking that it can be met by bombs alone and understand that it must be met by our daily way of life, by our respect of all human hpincs rppardless nf race or creed or color. Two thirds of .the world's peoples are colored and they have cultures and as ! pirations just as do the whites. If we are to lead the free world, we must become a ma ture people. Otherwise we may well wake up to find that fear and laziness have reduced us from a strong and vital country, capable of attracting a follow ing, to a people lacking in lead ership and unwilling to fight in the only way which can be effective in this struggle the way of the mind and heart. We must respect everything new and be willing to examine it. We must love humanity and be willing to sacrifice to pre vent the growth of terrorism in seeking the goal of hope and security in the basic decencies of life for all men everywhere. I have come back from the Soviet Union frightened, not by the achievements of the leaders Chairman Named By Fair Commission Salem HP1 Mrs. Elmer Berg. Salem, has been named new chairman of the Oregon State Pair commission at its annual meeting here. Mrs. Berg replaces Jack Tra vis, Hood River, who was ap pointed chairman by Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes last March when he named a new fair commis sion. Del Milne, also Salem, was re named vice presidenf, and V. A. Roush, Myrtle Point, secretary. Accountant Severt Swanson told the board that both reve nue and expenditures were up this year. Net profit from Dec. 1, 1956 to Oct. 21, 1957 was 511,527, with another 57,000 in expenses expected before the books are closed out at the end of the year. Last year's net profit was $52,774, Swanson said. Biggest increase in expenses was in work on buildings and grounds which jumped from S94.380 last year to S132,274 for the first 10 months of this year. Portland TP The Oregon Labor Press has been permitted to defend itself before the Port land Central Labor Council where it was criticized a week ago by two supporters of James Hoffa, new president of the Teamsters Union. Clyde Crosby and Jack Lester, two delegates from Oregon to the Teamster convention in Miami Beach, had attacked the Labor Press as being anti-labor in its criticism of Hoffa. An editorial reply printed in the labor paper Oct. 18 was al lowed read to the council on mo tion of Tom Scanlon, research director for the Oregon State Labor Council. The editorial said, in part, that ''Actually, the most severe crit icism of the Teamsters has come from the ethical practices com mittee of the AFL-CIO and from the AFL-CIO executive council not from any anti-labor group." Crosby and Lester did not at tend the Monday night meeting. In other action, the Portland council was told that the Oregon Labor Council supports the pro- and the people of that country but fearful of our own apathy and complacency. I- can well understand why the Soviet people accept the good that has come to them. I cannot understand or believe, however, that anything which has to be preserved by fear will permanently stand against some thing which offers love and trust among the people themselves and their leaders something that asks for the understanding and the cooperation of the peo ple and that permits personal initiative and removes fear from free thought and the expression of ideas. May we have courage to face ourselves, to regain a vision of ourselves in the leadership of the world. Then we will not have to fear the advance of science anywhere. We can join in the effort to use all knowledge for the eventual good of all human beings. (Copyright. 1957, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Holmes, Republicans Said Near Agreement Salem OP State Sen. Lee Ohmart, . Salem, said Tuesday that Gov. Robert D. Holmes was '"nearing agreement' with Re publicans on the amount of tax relief to be given back to the people. Ohmart told the East Salem Lions club that Holmes "switch ed his position." in a Portland speech Monday in which he advo cated giving approximately $23 million in tax relief instead of !si7 million previously proposed. "If he continues to revise his figures upward, he will even tually be in league with the ma jority of Republicans who insist that the taxpayers get every possible dollar of relief while retaining a safe S10 to $20 mil lion cushion against future emergencies," Ohmart said. HERRING CONTROL Boothbay Harbor, Me. HP Federal and state fishing re searchers conducting experi ments in the Gulf of Maine found that a "bubble curtain" can be used to direct schools of herring. Schools of the small fish were spotted by observers in planes overhead who radioed the infor mation to researchers aboard boats. The researchers dropped compressed air hoses to the ocean floor and found that the curtain of bubbles deflected the course of the schools and made the fish hustle off in other directions.

(IP Firemen were called when a blaze broke out in a motor truck owned by a beverage distributor. When they arrived the firr was out. Curtis T. Gearin, the truck driver, extinguished it with four bottles of pop. gram of Gov. Robert Holmes in disposal of the tax surplus. Scanlon said the state council had reached no decision on how much of the surplus should be left and how much tax relief should be granted but that it would go along with Holmes' program.
