HORNBROOK
Pirst Snow Falls In Area
By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN
Hornbrook The first Snow
of the season began falling in
this area about 2:30 p.m. Sun
day, and by the time it ceases
at 7:00 p.m. a white blanket two
inches deep covered the ground
It began melting and soaking
shortly thereafter, but 24 hours
later, there was still an inch or
so left.
According to Gordon Jacobs,
who went duck-hunting at Tule-
lake Sunday afternoon, that area
received about six inches of
snow, and chains were manda
tory on all roads thereabouts.
Bob Smith, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Smith, was scheduled
to arrive home for the winter on
Tuesday from his ranch near
Rupert, Idaho.
Bob won the ranch in a gov
ernment drawing for veterans,
and has spent the past three
summer seasons improving it.
His main crop is pea seeds which
he raises for one of the large
seed companies.

Community Methodist church

In the Day's Hews
O By FRANK JENKINS
Remember GI William Girard?
A Japanese court has found
him guilty of manslaughter in
the case of a Japanese woman
who was scavenging scrap brass
(empty cartridge .cases) on an
army firing range in Japan. He
was given a three year sentence,
which the judge suspended.
If there is no appeal, the
case which created quite a
furore will be ended. The
vedict seems lenient and toler
ant. Probably no one suspects
Girard of firing deliberately at
the Japanese, woman, but con
sidering all the evidence that
came out it certainly, does look
like he was awfully careless
with a shooting iron.
SPEAKING at a potluck dinner
for Marion county Democrats
t Silverton, Oregon's Senator
Neuberger told his hearers that
"too much of the government's
agricultural benefit payments
go to big one-crop farmers in
Mid-West and Southern states
rather than to average farmers
all over the nation."
He criticized what he termed
the absurd practice of subsidiz
ing such a crop as tobacco while
farmers growing nutritious pro
ducts such as eggs, fruit and
vegetables go without any feder
al supports whatever. He said
he hopes greater stress will be
placed on a "really far-reaching
agricultural policy" designed to
protect the diversified family
farm against economic and nat
ural disasters.
In Oregon, he added, about
two-thirds of farm income comes
from commodities with NO sup
port!. DOWN there in Southern Ore
gon and Far Northern Cal
ifornia we know all about that.
The specialty crops on which our
agriculture is largely based get
no systematic federal price sup
port. But
As acreage is taken out of the
"basic" crops such as corn,
wheat, cotton, rice and tobacco,
the owners of these acres tend
to plant it to OUR specialy
crops such as potatoes, hay,
grain and alsike and other small
seeds. The result is that our
markets for these crops have
suffered severely from this type
of subsidy-induced competition.
I quite agree with Senator
Neuberger that the whole basic
crop subsidy system is becoming
absurd.
I1TE are hearing a lot in these
confused days about the su
per excellence of Russian scien
tists. And, from weak-kneed
and not too well informed sourc
es, we're beginning to hear talk
to the effect that our scientists
don't amount to much.
Listen to this:
A six-year-old Pocatello Idaho
girl with two holes in her heart
will submit ta a complicated
operation in Seattle next month
to CLOSE the holes. While the
operation is goin on. a special
pumping machine will keep her
blood circulating, by-passing her
heart while the surgery is be
ing done.
Doctors say that without the
operation she could live at most
only four or five years, but if
it is successful (as they think
there is good reason believe it
will be) she will be able to live
a normal life.
rpHE point.
O During these years when it
has made admittedly great
strides. Russian science has been
pointed toward the objective of
DESTRUCTION.
Ours has been aimed chiefly
at making life LONGER AND
BETTER for our people. Those
are the admirable objectives at
which we have aimed. I think
it stands to reason that now we
HAVE TO DO IT we can match
the Russian scientists in develop
ment and production of weapons
for our defense.
Let's not lose faith in our
country. .

UAL Approves Cutting
Service to Pendleton
Pendleton W Sam J. Sherer,
assistant to the president of
United Air Lines, said today that
UAL has approved cutting Spo
kane service into and out of
Pendleton.
Sherer said the air line would
back a proposal by 'Spokane to
lift the "Pendleton restriction"
which requires all flights to and
from Spokane to pass through
Pendleton. The move would cut
down six flights a day into Pend
leton and would leave only two
flights to Spokane from here.
Sherer said the move was made
because the restriction was "ar
chaic, outmoded and is costing
the airline a lot of money to
operate."

AP Editors Seek
Clearer Outline
New Orleans (ID The As
sociated Press Managing Editors
association has urged President
Eisenhower to outline more
clearly what areas of govern
ment information may be open
to the press.
The group passed a resolution
to that effect Wednesday at its
annual convention here, along
with one which urged all citi
zens to support legislation open
ing governmental records to the
public.
The measures were passed
by the general membership fol
lowing sharp disagreement on
the subject of government se
crecy between Rep. and John D.
Moss (R-Calif) and Assistant De
fense Secretary Murray Snyder.
Moss told the editors that the
Defense Department's "public be
damned" attitude resulted in the
Air Force withholding informa
tion about Russia's plan to launch
a dog -carrying Sputnik. He
charged also that this country is
behind in the satellite field be
cause of a "strait-jacket" of se
crecy surrounding scientists.
Snyder said Moss evidently
has embraced the "myth" that
federal officials are involved in
"a great conspiracy of secrecy."
Little information is being with
held, he added, and experienced
newsmen can usually get the in
formation they seek.
The editors themselves appar
ently shared Moss' view, going
on record as deploring efforts to
brush aside the public's right of
access to information not falling
within the limited areas of security.
The bituminous coal mines of
the U. S. produce upwards of
about 1,000 tons a minute with
new mechanization.
