' HALCOLV EFLET Managing Editor Kdltor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY Br MALCOLM EPLEY MERGING of the city recreation committee and park board made effective by the ' limple expedient of naming the same people to both boards appears to us to be logical move that should prove beneficial to the municipal recreation and park - program. Certainly, the work of the two boards has been closely allied; it can be coordinated smoothly under the present set-up, which became effective with Mayor Ed Ostendorf's appointments Monday night. The change was made pos sible as a result of the action of the voters at the last elec tion in approving the measure to change the method of appointment and the terms of park board members. Until that action was taken, park board members were appointed for life by the circuit Judge. They are now appointed for staggered terms by the mayor and council. Coincident with the start of the new system, E E. Hambrick has resigned as recreation dir rector, effective February 1. The resignation was accepted with appropriate commendation for Mr. Hambrick's efforts. Selection of a man to take over the recrea tion directorship now becomes a major prob lem before the new joint board. It Is important that the new director be a man of excellent professional training in the field, a man who, through the direction and stimulation of an adequate recreation program, is able to win widespread public support and especially the Interest of the young people of the community. It will probably be necessary to pay more than has been paid in the past to get a man of the calibre needed for this, job. Fish From The Sky THE Portland missile story collapsed as a na tional mystery thriller when it became pret ty certain that the chunk of material that fell on the Hill Military academy grounds came from a hole in an old French 75 decorative shell casing. Experts say that water froze in the base of the shell, creating pressure that forced the missile into the air and dropped it near officials of the academy who were walk ing about and who weren't at all sure they hadn't nearly been hit by a bit of rocket. The incident reminded us of two local ex periences within our memory, involving objects dropping from the sky both of them fish stories. Some years ago, a big fish fell from the sky and struck a car on High street near the Catho lic church. It made a dent in the rear of the car and fell to the pavement. An airplane was noted overhead at about that' time, and the only 'plausible explanation offered that somone, just for the heck of it, dropped the fish out of the plane. The other story was the fish rain at Algoma. One wet morning several years ago, when the Algoma Lumber company was still operating, Rahlen Hastings called us up to report that it had rained fish at Algoma in the night. We went out there and saw a lot of small fish lying around on roofs and on theground. Many theories were offered. The one we ac cepted personally was that the fish were dropped by seagulls which were feeding by the hundreds on the Algoma mill pond. This theory, advanced by a Herald and News reader at the time, was that birds were frightened into the air, possibly by a train roaring suddenly through Algoma, and dropped or disgorged the fish after they took off.- So far as we know, no fish have fallen from the sky around here since those two incidents of several years ago. For a while, it began to look as if all a housewife had to do for a mess of fish was to thrust a skillet outside the kitchen window on Friday morning.

No other nation pre sumably has it. (Stalin says Russia docs not). Resigning Mr. Baruch says we should keep on making the weapon. Yet Russia has sternly taken the stand that security councilors in UNO be permitted to veto punishment of offenders to world atomic tranquility. This hardly makes clear sense. In any natural reasoning, you would expect Russia would be eager to punish of fenders, the only known possible offender being the United States. In straight common sense you would think Russia would gleefully back any move to restrict or obstruct manufacture of the bomb by a capitalistic nation. By what reasoning then could she possibly have come to vote against the generous Baruch plan for an international agreement, inspection (she has agreed to this) and punishment of vio lations? Why Protect Violators? THE only conclusive answer in logic is unbe lievable. Could she expect to become a vio lator, or knows someone who will? Why else would she want to protect violators? Why else would she insist upon right of veto against pun ishment? Obviously Russia does not expect us to use the bomb or contemplate war by us. For, if she did, she would be insisting upon a position op posite the one she maintains today namely that we, as members of the security council, be not permitted to veto punishment of our selves by the UNO. If Russia had any genuine fear, that would be her position. But only if she had the bomb, or contemplated getting it and using it for purposes of world revolution, could she convincingly justify the obstructionist position to peace she has taken. This simple reasoned analysis of what may lie beyond current UNO atomic events is get ting around high spots here. Frankly our offi cials do not know. They wonder. The prospect is that Baruch'a resignation will force our lead ership into the hands of Chairman Austin of our UNO delegation, a man less sensitive to the sharper points of international diplomacy than Baruch. In the ordinary course, the Baruch program will be argued before the security council for weeks and months with nothing being done. In some ways, by this, Russia appears to have won an advantage, because Austin (the newspapers publicly proclaim this) is more apt to conciliate and appease the Russians. Interminable Argument MOST authorities believe the whole Baruch commission quit because it had drawn the lines upon which the program could be worked out and sees ahead only a typical interminable argument before the security council which Austin is the logical man to conduct because of his position on the council. Behind these convictions is the feeling that a sincere or early agreement is not in prospect. For an example of the confusion, Russia agreed not to veto in spections of atomic manufacturing, yet one rea son offered for -her insistence upon vetoing any punishment is that she does not want to let an international commission see what she is doing at home thus no one knows how effective could be the agreement for inspection. May Change Mind YET many an official here thinks Russia will change her mind suddenly again now on this punishment feature. Certain prognosticators around the state department are privately pre dicting Stalin will order his diplomats to change around to the other side of the question and permit an agreement to go through the security council. Actually interest here is far from intense. Authorities say: Let the question dangle. Hard ly anyone has a doubt that the United States should go ahead and take care of its own prob lem in the matter regardless of what position the Russians take. The military, for example, seem to be awake to what might be demanded of it suddenly even if an agreement is made. The diplomats have a feeling Russia might take the other side of any question no matter what position they advance. Perhaps even a plane deal with certain Latin American countries will be announced soon. The only tense suggestion I hear mentioned is in republican quarters where a vague de mand can be heard for strengthening the repub lican representation in UNO. After all, Austin was 'the choice of Mr. Truman. vCftww ii The league, with the coopera tion of suburban residents, will seek from highway officials the building of an overpass, under pass or adequate traffic control system at the S. 6th crossing. It -was pointed out that traf fic danger will be increased with the construction of the new highway, which will cross S. 6th with four-lane traffic near the school. L. W. Souk up, city bus- line manager, assurei the league that the company would be willing to change the bus service in any way possible for care of this area if the change can be made to conform with uptown bus service. The present schedule takes one hour to complete the run in the suburba district. RADIO PROGRAMS THURSDAY P.

It's planned now to not only feature them over Mac's daily program over KFLW, "The Managing Editor Reports," but to combine them in a feature in the Herald and News. Dr. Henrv (Push-Pull, Click Click) Morgan, the eminent psychiatrist and Wednesday eve ning partner of "Der Bingle," has popped up with a new neurosis, "Radio-stroke." Morgan says that it resembles the stroke that peo ple get from too much sun, known technically as sun-stroke. Radio-stroke, Morgan reveals, comes from over-exposure to Christmas radio programs. Here are a few simple rules that he advises for avoiding the dan gerous condition. 1. Spend the holidays in an open field. 2. Drink plenty of vodka es pecially before breakfast. 3. Spend the holidays in a duck blind, but don't bring along any brass monkeys. At this time of year brass monkeys freeze en tirely, especially in a duck blind. 4. Buy the children a xylo phone, it can be counted upon to dull all your sense3 and leaves a humming sound in your ears for about 12 hours after it has stopped playing. , Every Thursday about 2 p. m. some lucky listener to "Park's Telequiz" receives a big basket of groceries free.

SATURDAY January 1 1th BROADWAY ' HALL Music by PAPPY GORDON And Hit Oregon Hill Billies Dancing 10 Till 2 Admission $1 per Person A IT MCE MAUN Missile Said To Be Hoax PORTLAND. Jan. 8 (A') Port land's "rocket missile" mystery fizzled out Tuesday when a spec troscopist said it and chunks of plaster taken from a hole in a decorative artillery shell casing matched. A three-inch cement-like ice encrusted cylinder was found on the Hill Military academy cam pus Saturday by Capt. Leon G. Thompson. The commandant of cadets said it fell, in a shower of egg-sized bits of ice over a 15-foot area, from a clear sky. Yesterday Dr. John E. Allen, chief of the Oregon department of geology and mineral industries laboratory, was quoted as saying that spectroscopic examination of the missile indicated it was of the type of material used in rocket linings, although he added that there was no conclusive evi dence it had been. Today larger samples of the missile as well as material taken from a hole In a decorative shell casing found on the acad emy campus were tested by Tom Matthews of the same state lab oratory. Both, he said, appear to be plaster and they are identical within the range of error in herent in the spectroscope. The possibility that the "mis silc" came from the shell casing hole arose when a ' reporter, searching the area -today, noted the hole and observed that the casing was painted with alumi num. One end of the "missile" had been so painted. Although this ended specula tion that part of a rocket being tested either by this or another country had fallen here, there was no explanation for the show er of ice or how the plug from the casing came to be in it Col. Joseph Hill of the acad emy said the hole had existed in the casing for years and he did not know that it had ever been plugged. The possibility was suggested that academy students had rigged a catapult, using what ever came 19 nana on tne ice covered ground, and its contents descended on the commandant of cadets. There were no state ments from the cadets to support this theory.

KFLW -ABC American Broadcaiiinj Compinf The World Today By J. M. ROBERTS JR. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Whon James F, Byrnea be came secretury of stute 18 months ago thero woro thoso who feared that a mighty good pilot In domestic affairs had been carried out of his depth. But Byrnes scorned to grow along with tho complex ltlo of his job until, by tho time of the Paris foreign ministers confer ence last summer, he was able to take the lead in International maneuvering which had been held by the Russians and .Brit ish. . Now, in the flush of major successes during tho recent New York conferences, he rcaigns. Although known to be need ing a rest, Byrnes had been ex pected by the publla to carry on tor a while longer. Only the presence of General Marshall to take over prevents considerable shock. , That plus Byrnes' devel opment of a firm, continuing and non-partisan foreign policy which should lose nothing through being administered by a man who has never had Politi cal connections. It is a policy, too, whose suc cess Is its own best safeguard aguinst change. Tho concessions which Russia has made across the conference table, her lessen ed pressure on tho Danube, the Dardanelles. Iran and elsewhere, match too closely the pattern of U. S. counter-pressure to be mere coincidence. There will bo speculation and some outcries. The change, making General Marshall a part of the civilian administration and putting him next in line for the presidency should any thing happen to Mr. Truman during the next two years, prob- auiy win reverberate In domes tic politics. Foreign quarters will be alerttto the possibilities of the "military mind" at the state department. The next anti-American propaganda from abroad probably will link the "brass" on the foreign ministers council from American refusal to stop making atomic bombs, and "military diplomacy" will begin to share the spotlight with "dollar diplomacy" and "atomic diplomacy." But the announcement that Byrnes is retiring because of health is well documented. And Tile standing in the administra tion was attested only a short time ago when Truman ousted politically-powerful Henry Wal lace from the cabinet to pre serve the prestige of Byrnes and his policies in Europe. Then, too. the fitness of Mar shall for the job, regardless ol brass, is generally acclaimed in this country. With Franklin D. Roosevelt and Cordell Hull, the general was one of the vf ry few men intimately acquainted with every facet of Americas foreign relations from 1030 on. PNEUMONIA GAINS PORTLAND.

When this trade gets temporarily out of balance, wa settle the differ ences with gold which, becNiiso of Its relative srarcity and the remarkable stability of Its rate o' production, has an established International value. Making gold as cheap as lead would upset that long-established and familiar situation. We should then have to find some other standard of International value. Painters Return To Basin Jobs (Continued from Page One) from tho usual practice of sign ing yearly agreements. "In so far as previous state ments by the painting and decorating contractors and offi cers of ABC and E are concerned, we feel they arc unjustified as the cost of painting on most Jobs Is Insignificant compared to other labor costs. Painting costs run from 8 per cent to 10 per cent of the total labor cost and the additional cost to tho public Is therefore slight. "On the other hand, the small percentage increase asked bv the union Is far below the Increaso of many materials, some of these having Increased 80 to 100 per centt Painters' overalls have nearly doubled In price and many other factors adding to the Journeyman's costs, justify the requested Increase. All painters are on the Jobs today (Wednes day), and committees have been set up to work out details of the settlement." Jack R. Roper, retiring presi dent of the Klamath chapter of contractors, said today that the painters were back and all dif ferences settled. As for the carpenters. C. D. Long said this afternoon there were no new developments as to settlement, and the strike en tered Its third day. "Independent employes are' remaining on the Job. but em ployes of ABC and E contractors are atlll off the Job." Council Support Action of the Building Trades Council at its regular meeting Monday night assured the car penters that they would receive full support from the council and at anv time that any union Job Interfered with the Interests of the carpenters local, the men would not work on those "struck Job..." according to Long. 'The painters got a 25 ccnl In crease as of March 1, part of It now and part March 1 as de finitely agreed upon, and that is all the carpenters had asked a definite agreement that our wages would be advanced March 1," Long advised. "The ABC and E will not meet , the agreement and negotiations with the asso ciation are off. We are now deal ing with Independent contractors in an effort to have them agree with our demands of $1.87 4 per hour." ' '"fi' I.
