Vandenberg and District Attorney Clar ence Humble for the 13th judicial district judge ship has now reached its final Yg!iMtma Stage; n 1 1 iwti tomary pattern, it will grow increasingly warm in the en suing few days before the election May 17. But it shouldn't get too hot. If Judge Vandenberg wins, Mr. Humble will continue as district attorney and there will be need for cordial, co operative relationships be tween him and the judge. If Mr. Humble wins. Judge EPLET Vandenberg will resume the private practice of law here, doing business as a practicing attorney in the local circuit court over which Mr. Humble will preside. Neither the principals in this political con test, nor their embattled supporters, should let the campaign produce any bitter incidents which will prevent cordial professional relation ships between Judge Vandenberg and Mr. Humble in the future. In fact, we think that the election on May 17, however it turns out, would be a good time for clearing all the useless rancor out of the relationships between the court and members of the bar. We think that it would be well, once this contest is over, to bring an early end to the affidavit of prejudice business that has been a feature of the local legal situation for several years. Affidavits UNDER Judge Edward B. Ashurst and Judge Vandenberg, some attorneys filed affidavits regularly. This requires the use of an outside judge, delaying legal action and at times being inconvenient 'for both litigants and attorneys. Some additional expense to the public is in volved. Fault in some cases probably lies with the court, and in others with the attorneys. At times, affidavits are inevitable and necessary, but when it becomes an ordinary, routine pro cedure to call an outside judge, there is a situation that plainly needs correction by rea sonable men. We think that both judge and attorneys, whoever they are, should move together into more harmonious relationship to bring an end to this sort of thing. We are well aware that the procedure for filing affidavits of prejudice is set up in law, and that nothing can be done about it if anyone wishes to file them. We also know that under certain conditions they are proper. But we are sure that routine filing of affi davits can be brought to an end here if a sincere and reasonable effort is made to re store cordial professional relationships between all members of the bar. of deputies with a subservient president and cabinet. Facially this appears like utmost democracy somewhat like the superiority of the British parliament you might say. The majority of the French electorate was not fooled. Democ racy rules by checks and balances. It gives no unbounded control to a single authority any where. What the communist constitution in tended was to eentraliie the power of govern ment so the communists could use it, without the usual democratic restrictions. By redis ricting it could give its industrial centers the greatest representation, and otherwise (do not forget that French politics is notoriously amen able to cash payments, both foreign and do mestic) solidify its power beyond redemption. Weak At Ballot Box EVERY time the communists go to the elec torate, it seems, they arc being rejected. In the French referendum on the subject last October, their proposal for a weak executive was defeated, although they succeeded in elect ina the larsest bloc of delegates to the con vention. In the connivances of internationaK conferences and domestic political dickering, the Muscovites have won the most ground, but at the ballot box they have proved weak. Less conspicuous events than the French election disclose their forced retreat with even greater clarity. A spare three paragraphs in the London Times recently revealed the de cision of the British labor party to change its constitution so as to delay membership to com munists. This decision follows the disclosure made in this column three weeks back, and not yet generally published, that the leftwing unions in CIO were taking similar action, in similar quietude. The constitution of several CIO unions is being changed to ban communist party members, and unquestionably labor in the two democracies is attempting to purge itself of the communist influence. How far it will succeed is not yet evident, but the intent is genuinely significant because CP had made its deepest inroads in the labor movement (French union centers went for the communist constitution). The light of these world-changing events that Earl Browder flew to Russia on his un explained mission. The CP postwar political action in this country has been in the hands of the fosterites who oppose cooperation with capitalism. Browder was ousted from party control here because he brought CP into co operation for production during the war. Will the M'fc'iovites now order a period of coopera tion is.in with capitalism here and in the rest of the world? I doubt it. Look at the matter the way Moscow looks at it, if you would find the answer. Capitalism was the first enemy chosen by communism. Fascism became a later enemy. Fascism has now been eliminated as a world power. Communist aggression against capital ism can stop only through a genuine reorgani zation of its totalitarian ideals, and this is hardly to be expected now as the Russian government, flushed with victory and new won power throughout the world, sees its greatest opportunity for world achievement. SIDE GLANCES News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 8 The Russian pro gram for world political action is losing, and a change of front may eventuate from the Browder talks in the Kremlin. Severest setback to communist plans for postwar political aggression was defeat of their new constitution for France. Moscovites con trolled the spirit of the French government since they defeated De Gaulle's policy of a strong army, and acquired collaboration of the socialists. Their constitution proposed a single center of government authority in the chamber Getting To Its Feet BUT there is another stronger reason for doubt. Democratic capitalism is struggling to its feet, following war. If the communists cooperate and we get production, we may grow strong again. Therefore the Browder mission is likely to succeed only if the Kremlin becomes convinced capitalism will fall anyway and a period of false appeasement is justified as a temporary strategic retreat. The decision could favor CP face lifting, and superficial coopera tion, but could hardly run into genuine depths. , In these fundamental currents, some are say ing the ultimate conflict will be between social ism and communism. But socialism' is a word which has lost more of its original definition than communism. The nazis were socialists. So were the fascists. So is Russia. The name of that communist nation is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. British socialism, on the other hand, clings to law, the parliamentary system and democratic forms. Events therefore are shaping the world con flict into a clash of statism, dictatorship, com munism on the one hand versus democracy, capitalism, socialism on the other. STATIC Jack Benny seems to have re vised his plans as to appearing with the Quiz Kids come next Sunday. Maybe last week scared him out, or maybe his violin developed an unknown and un expected rattle. Anyway, his scheduled appearance with the Quiz Kids for May 12 has been cancelled indefinitely. The American Farmer, over . KFLW Saturday will feature John Baker speaking from Wash ington on his scheduled pro gram of the business side of farming. People from Washing ton, New York, Chicago and Denver will be interviewed in the various areas on National " Home Demonstration Week. Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the Boston "Pops" symphony, is proving his assertion that he will play what the listening pub lic wants to hear. So now he says, just write your favorite musical composition, the name of it that is, on a postcard and mail it to him, Symphony hall, Boston 15, and each week the "Pops" will play the ones most requested. That refers to any type of music, overtures, waltzes, etc. The flyers are back on the field again, operating under an interim permit, and now all we have to do is to sit tight and wait for the flying age to hit America. When it does, it looks like Klamath will at least have a head start in the way of a field. Maybe we'll turn out to be the crossroads of the air as well as the railways. With air travel you can look for a lot more out-of-state duck hunters and fishermen. Enlisted Men May Get Terminal Pay WASHINGTON, May 8 UP) Reversing a previous stand, the house military committee today approved legislation giving en listed service personnel the same terminal pay rights that officers now have.

Oregon High.r Education System Should this evening's twilight be cloudless, two bright objects will instantly attract all eyes that rove the western skyways. High in the blue will hang the yellow moon, an ample crescent with its outer curve turned to ward the place of sunset. Nearer the horizon, the gorgeous planet Venus will grow in splendor, its apparent brilliance increasing in the deepening dusk. Let us wait for greater dark ness 8:30 o'clock or shortly after before identifying the dimmer, but conspicuous stars and planets. We shall first un tangle the fine galaxy of bril liants that dot the western sky. Quite low and about due west, red Betclgeuse in the right shoul der of Orion will soon be setting. A little farther south, glittering Sirius, the dog-star, is almost on the horizon. Saturn Stands Out Very high and very nearly due west, orange Pollux and white Castor, the heavenly twins, stand side by side, separated by a space comparable to that be tween the Pointers of the Big Dipper. Below this line and a little left of Pollux, the nlanet Saturn is conspicuous. Telescop ically, Saturn is surrounded by a beautiful luminous ring. Now let us trace from Pollux toward the south about three times the distance between Cas tor and Pollux. There we en counter Mars, the red planet, which lately has been moving rapidly among the constellations. Considerably below Mars we find Procyon with a fainter star at its right. These two are the prin cipal stars of Orion's Little Dog. n.guius at na ot Sickl If we follow our Pollux-Mars line on a considerable distance east and a little south we ar rive at Regulus, at the end of the handle of the Sickle. The faint stars of the Sickle form j with Regulus a definite reversed question-mark. Well up in the northwest, bright, yellow Capella shines. Just below it. three tiny points outline the little triangle ot the Kids. Somewhat east of south, a bril liant object attracts instant at tention. This is the giant planet Jupiter, the largest of all the solar retinue. Jupiter's distance makes its apparent brightness less than that of Venus. A little below Jupiter, note the conspic uous Spica. Dipper Upside Down Very high in the sky, some what south of duo east, is orange Arcturus, the star which In 1933 turned on the lights of the Chi cago fair". In the northeast, Vcgu, the principal luminary in the mythical Harp of Orpheus, twinkle merrily. And do not fail to notice our familiar Big Dip per, almost overhead and of all things upside down. The moon will help to locate many of the sky-objects on va rious nights. On the evening of May 6 this lunar ncifciibor of ours will appear beside Mars; May 8, above Regulus, and May 12, close to Jupiter. The moon's slow eastward motion around the earth Is thus made quite evident. Classified Ads Bring Results. WA1,D NKWS. Morula r.iu. o. WsnNMIMT. "r ' " ? Truman Raps 'Nut1 Autoists In Highway Safety Appeal WASHINGTON. May R ll'l President Truman today criti cised stutea that permit the "In sane, nuts and morons" to drive automobiles without Imposing minimum motor license require ments. Mr. Truman departed from his prepared address before the high way safety conference and stren uously urged all states to adopt minimum driving standard. He said that when he was In the seuato he studied the problem and learned that nunc people were killed by automnhllo acci dents than during nil the wars hack to the French-Indlun hostili ties. Then he added: "That's a startling fact. Hut more people have been perma nently injured In automobile ac cldents than in the two great wars." The president ditrd his own state of Missouri as an example of the lack of minimum require ments which he condemned. In Missouri, he said, It whs possible to buy a license "for a quarter of a dollar at a corner drugstore." As a senutor, Mr. Truman said he twice had pushed through the senate legislation to set up min imum driving standards for mo torists crossing state llncj, only to see It killed in the house. He said some states "arc tak ing no steps to keep you and me from being killed by some moron that has no more right to be at the wheel of a car then he has to be at the throttlo of an engine." He edited: "It Is perfectly ab surd" for states to permit a per son to purchase a car and drive It "whether ho is Insane, a nut, or a moron." Asserting that "people are lit erally murdered every day," he declared the challenge of mount ing highway deaths "must unci will bo met." Snell Announces v 4 Mother's Day f SALEM.
