I nana mim Editor Today's Round ,, Br MALCOLM EPLEY SOUTH SIXTH STREET, long known is "death alley" because of its special haiardi for pedestrians, is now a wide ribbonoipaving broken up ay eiaooraie iri fic gcparation itructurea, lalanda and turnout lane, and i flanked by sidewalks where pedestrians can stay out of the way of the paths of the dread ad "oncoming vehicles." That Isn't true of all South Sixth street, because the name runs from Main street to the Merrill-Lakeview junction. But for 1.87 miles, from Owens street just beyond the viaduct to the Altamont bridge, it is .

South Sixth street people, justly proud of this monumental development, are coing to cele brate Saturday with appropriate ribbon-cutting ceremonies. The accomplishment of improve ments that cried for approval from the state highway commission for so long in vara, well worth celebrating. It can be said for the highway dpartment that once it got around to doing something, it did it in a big and elaborate fashion. We hope it doesn't prove too elaborate. The special traffic control structures developed there are something different for motorists whose driving has been confined to the nearby region. But they do make sense, once they are under stood. If people drive on South Sixth intelli gently, and don't get the idea that the purpose was to transform it into another Indianapolis speedway, it should prove of immense benefit - to local travel through the eliminatiion of what was for years one of the worst traffic condi tions in Oregon. S It Is to be hoped South Sixth can once and for all shed that sinister name that was first "aptly applied, some 15 years ago, after a series 'of wrecks that sent a parade of ambulances rand hearses to hospitals and morgues and a few vdrivers to the county hooseeow. , i Briefs From Tht Pocket i A GROUP of Malin farmers, concerned about j A the lack of reefer cars on the Great Northern, were in town yesterday, wanting to Jknow if they wouldn't get a better break if J the Western Pacific-GN were spliced at Klam ' ,th Tails instead of Bieber ...

Everywhere, except in Japan, China and this country, we gave political footage to one single political opposition force communism. Elsewhere around the periphery of this world, communism is to day much stronger than when the New York international meetings convened. The American public may not fully under stand this yet because the progress made at the conference was in superficialities, while the advances made by communism are basic. But the delegates appear to understand it. The UNO assembly, for instance, is understood on the inside of officialdom here to be pressing for early adjournment, perhaps before January 1, because the world delegates are tired of the prospects and want to get home. They will leave committees to work behind them. Some authorities who have heard the debates first hand have been dismayed at the plane upon which they are conducted a wandering plane of ideals wholly torn loose from bedrock. Reds Confuse Things ON disarmament, for instance, Russia has changed position three times up to this writing, finally embracing ideal disarmament, but within a few hours refused to let anyone know the size of the Russian army. On pick ing a site, Russia switched from New York to Geneva and back to New York, but worse than that ultimately decided (at the last report) she would not go to San Francisco because it was too far to go for. peace, although actually it is closer to Russia than New York. On paying the cost of this peace organization, Russia got a committee to favor her paying only 8 per cent while we pay half the whole peace bill. While saying she would not use a veto on disarmament, in effect she used it immediately in reference to the Russian army and to the choice of a site. In the site case she said if her wishes were not followed she would with draw and not attend UNO. The meetings were all like that, as if sincerity were wholly lack ing, as if her politicians were playing in shallow tactics which were not real. Look around the world for the real answers. Russia has asked us for a loan of $1,000,000,000 directly or indirectly but it is the only nation in the world which has not said anything about settlement on the $10,000,000,000 of lend lease material already given her. We cannot find out even what she used, or what she has which could be returned, or what repayment she could make in kind as the agreement pro vided. About those things she says nothing at all but she wants $1,000,000,000 more. It does not make sense, unless Stalin is simply taking us for a fool, and acting as a man does with a genial fool. Communist Gains ON the surface we have gained five peace treaties with five little countries in Eu rope, but not yet Germany, Austria or Japan, a disarmament agreement "in principle" which seems to be only a delusive Russian game in diplomatic tactics, a ludicrous budget proposal, an attempt by Russia to force the United States to place the permanent conference site where Russian pipelines are deepest and largest or she will not even attend. Measured against these accomplishments are the advances of com munism around the world while this congenial nullity (?) was being effected. An underground communist campaign has swept Latin America, noticeably heading its advancements in the Chilean labor unions. In Europe communism has broken the socialist opposition to bits, strengthening itself by elections in the Balkans and by closer delusive management of Tito and its satellites. In France it won plurality rep resentation in the assembly with the parties of liberty. In Italy it is winning city elections and has broken the socialist stand against it, gaining socialist cooperation. In Britain it has driven a deep wedge against the American de sire for Christian world liberty in the labor party, and an eminently trustworthy British source now says half or more of the party intellectuals are Marxist. A communist move to get at Spain, through its colonies has been detected as being well financed. All these things and more have been ac complished by communism against the spirit of freedom and democracy In the world while the superficial congenial era was being raised in New York. It is almost as if we had for gotten communism is a movement for world revolution and had decided to give in to it. But the fact that it is making great strides in its world revolution Is obvious and available for all to see even in official quarters while we are not. They are not mine but the plain facts of the world, observable, checkable, true. The communist strategy has switched to a new line, a more successful line, but has not changed one whit in purpose. It is now pro moting congenial nullification on the surface of international peace negotiations and organiz ing effective revolutionary communism under neath. It is lulling popular opinion to sleep for what it expects to be a political Pearl Harbor. ner will be prepared and served by the grange iiome economics division under the direction of Mrs. Elmer Scott, chairman.

The first of the series will be inaugurated by Arnold Gra lapp, superintendent of public schools, and Chuck Woodhouse, director of radio speech for KUHS. Chuck Martin will an nounce the show. Plans call for the show every Thursday at the same time and same station. Most bandleaders shun ama teur composers and lyricists, but Sammy Kaye, whose "So You Want to Lead a Band" is heard tonight at 8:30 over KFLW, is currently asking their aid. It's all because of a new tune Sam my happened to dream up in his spare moments called "It's a Lie," which is now just a melody without words. The number, written by Sammy, who also composed "I'm a Big Girl Now," in his opinion lends itself well to catchy lyrics and he is ask ing his fans to send them in to him. Merrill MERRILL, Dec.

(To the Editor) Whoever started that story about federal red tape and blundering was cer tainly barking up the wrong tree. An experience of mine this year with the department of financial responsibility is a good illustration of state red tape and incompetency. In July, this year, I received word from the department of financial responsibility that I had. because of a minor acci dent, become subject to the financial responsibility law. I purchased a policy for $11. 000 to cover these requirements and was told by the insurance broker that the insurance com pany would file it with the state. On October 30 I received a letter from the department of financial responsibility inform ing me that I had failed to pro vide proof of financial respon sibility. Also in the letter was a copy of the order to suspend my driver's license. Our broker immediately wrote and request ed the insurance company to file it and when state police could not recognize my policy as proof of financial respon sibility, the broker managed to get them to call Salem and obtain a .week's delay in en forcing the order to pick up my license. , I thus had until November 9 to get it straightened out. On that day I called up state police and was told that they had re ceived no further word on the matter. The insurance agent had, however, received word by then that the insurance had been filed. When the' day came to take the license. I called up and was told that they would "let it go" a few more days in hope that an order to cancel taking my license would arrive. Later that day. in the mail we re ceived word from Clarence Ellis that the insurance had been filed. I thought then that the mat ter had been settled, but no, when I arrived home December 2 a state police officer had called and said we must come in and turn in my auto and driver s license. I called up and told them that I had in my possession a letter from the de partment of financial responsi bility saying the insurance had been filed, to which he agreed to withhold picking them up, ! and thus he saved me the ; trouble of telling him to go to heck. Now, I want to know why , Ellis failed to let me know right after August 13, the original deadline, that my insurance was j not filed; also why, on Novem-1 ber 1, he did not phone state , police and cancel the order; also . why he had still failed to ! cancel it by November 12, and KIRBY Vacuum Cleaners Authorized Sales and Service Telephone 9200 Bom 'where The Coppers had a (raeij eM fassily reuaion last week for Us iiret time since the war.

AP Foreign Affain Analyit Great Britain's trouble with Albania over tho mining of Corfu channel, with resultant heavy damage to two British destroyers and the loss of 44 lives, is strangely of a pattern with the U. S.-Yugiwlav row over the shooting down of American planes. In each case Ru.ioian satellite governments have taken violent, almost hysterical action (If the British charge Is true) In the guise of defending their sover eignty. Age-old principles in volving the protection of peace time travelers have been thrown out the window in inexplicable fashion. If It is true that Albania de liberately and secretly mined a traditionally free channel, no body will know what to expect next. If the mining was done for fear of what passing British ;hips might observe ashore, the implications would be a cause for even greater anxiety than the act itself. Russian Influence Strong In one respect the Albanian Incident, aside from the greater loss of life. Is of greater signif icance than the Tito affair, for Ru.-sian control of Albania is much more direct than in Yugo slavia. In Yugoslavia there is a communist-dominated government, conducted by Moscow-trained operatives, but one which oper ates with a certain degree of autonomy. Tito, instead of be ing merely an executive of Mos cow's orders, Is more of a col laborationist. He follows the line to which he Is well-trained, to be sure, but up to the point where he might cross the Krem 11 1 he Is his own man. Although he had Russian precedent for getting tough with American planes which flew over pro scribed areas, the trouble he got into with us was essentially his own. In Albania, on the other hand, reliable reports have it that Rus sians actually occupy the key positions. After last year's so called elections the United States and Britain withheld recognition of the government. The Rus sians, however, not only Jumped aboard the Hoxha bandwagon, but apparently took over the reins. Russian Minister Dimitrl Tuchuvnkin arrived last January with a staff of experts which one source counted at 400. and the number has been reported great ly augmented since. There have been additional reports of whole Russian army units and hundreds of oficers forming the cadres of the new Albanian army, which is reported to total some 100.000 men out of a total population of 1,000.000. After the axis surrender and prior to .the advent of the Hoxha government, Albanians remem bered the days when the United States and Britain parachuted men and supplies into their axis occupied country. American missions reported their situation in the country up to November, 1945, as "tolerable." But since then the anti-western campaign has been growing apace, result ing in withdrawal of American representatives from the country. For a time there was a gen eral hope that the Corfu mines would turn out to be war left overs, and the explosions acci dental. In the face of the British evidence and In the absence of any clearcut Albanian denial, this hope has faded. last, why he failed to cancel It since. I've asked Ellis of the depart ment of financial responsibility that question, but apparently his face is too red to answer. ROY M.

It Is interesting tie cause the announcement was made by Bonneville's so-called Eubllc relations employe well nown for his socialist back ground. It is interesting because it would entail an expenditure of $7,000,000 or so for a transmis sion line and more millions for a Klamath sub-station. It is Inter esting because only five years ago Bonneville investigations found that It was not feasible to build a line even as far as Bend. It is interesting because Bonne ville, so it says, is short of power. It is Interesting because there has been no report of a power shortage in the Klamath region. It is interesting because these ore days when reductions in federal spending are being urged and hoped for on all sides the bu reaucrats excepted. The Bonneville employe Is Dr. Carl D. Thompson who is on the Bonneville pay roll at upwards of $5000 a yeor. Dr. Thompson has been an active member of the socialist party and in earlier edi tions of Who's Who so recorded himself.
