In the dead of winter on bare pavement our exper ience on the trip tip here must be indicative of nome kind of record for the Winter of 1946-47. That road side snow the highway depart ment refers to in its report was shallow, and bore the soiled appearance of snow that has been there quite while without a fresh blanket All of this was noted last Friday afternoon it's been raining pretty steadily here in the Willamette valley since then and the snow situation on the pass may have changed. r-nnrliftnn nf nDVPmPIlt Oil the Willamette highway is unusually good for this time of year. There are none of those broken-up places that develop on that road In winter time. But the winter is yet young, and that kind of trouble may be expected on the Willamette tills last year before a general re conditioning of the surface scheduled for the coming construction season. The Willamette has never had the rugged surface needed for the job it docs In carrying traffic all year over the mountains. It should get it this year. APPROACHING Eugene, one runs into heavy traffic volume at the Springfield junction. A traffic circle arrangement at the junction cases the job of meshing into that heavy traffic. This highway between Eugene and Spring field has been four-laned, but the dividing struc ture is narrow as compared with that on our own South Sixth street. Cars in the turnout lanes are therefore unable to get fully out of the line of passing traffic. We came on one with its rear end sticking out to obstruct our passage, while its front end (mugwump style) was in the way of traffic going in the other direction. The advantage of those wide South Sixth dividing structures was clearly apparent to us. DRIVING in from the campus to downtown Eugene Friday night, we observed a trail of flame on the wet pavement behind a Model A coupe just . ahead. The little car pulled over to the curb and a boy and girl leaped out. Immediately, the fire, . fed by an apparent gasoline leak, enveloped the coupe, and licked at branches of a tree in the adjoining parking. A man looked out of a nearby house and ran to his telephone to call the fire department. Almost immediately, we heard the whine of sirens. We thought the response was unusually quick, but the gathering citizens of Eugene beefed loudly about the dilatory indifference of their firemen. To listen to the complaints, one would suppose the fire laddies finished a game of pinochle -before climbing leisurely on the wagon and making a pleasant sightseeing trip to 13th and Ferry. Well, they put out the fire. Incidentally, before the department arrived, some one rushed out with a fire extinguisher, hurriedly scanned the printed instructions on it in the light of the blaze, trained it on the fire, pulled the plunger, and nothing happened! Made us wonder how many. fire extinguishers we see around are ready for effective action. WE came on over here Saturday to find things generally quiet around the State house and the Marion hotel, our temporary domi cile, with the legislature in week-end adjourn ment. Haven't yet seen Rose Poole, who stays at the Senator, but Senate President Marshall Cor nelt and Henry Semon and Burt Snyder, other legislators from our neck of the woods, were around attending to sundry week-end duties. Mrs. Coral Sabo is new secretary to Rep. Semon, succeeding Mrs. Bernice (Hector) Coad, who held down the job for several sessions . . Everybody has a good word for the way Senator Cornett is running things as president of the senate . . . His fair treatment of members of the opposition in the pre-session presidency con test has drawn favorable comment . . . One issue that won't come up at this senate session is re-apportionment of the I7th senatorial dis trict (our own) which has been the subject of a battle for many sessions past . ... After people of the district itself showed such indifference that they failed to vote for a constitutional amendment last fall to carry out the re-appor-tionment, it's not likely the legislative delega tion is going to be interested ... We never leave the high country and come down into the lower altitudes of the valley without suffering a bad case of sleepiness . . . It s been raining steadily since our arrival, and we miss the sun shme of the east-of-the-mountains country. By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 The decline of socialism is the major development in the world, although it Is not being properly and publicly evaluated. This break in the bulwark against communism is worrying even the social ists, or perhaps the socialists more than anyone. America's elder socialist statesman (without office), Norman Thomas, expressed himself tim idly to the basic point He said he was "un alterably opposed to communism as It has de veloped in Russia" (please note the dangling modifier). The Russian system is perversion of socialism" he continued, "at most, a develop ment of one interpretation of one aspect of Marxism (I am not an orthodox Marxist any how)." Thomas was trying to develop that socialism is essentially democratic and added that the American socialist movement is overwhelmingly anti-communist on the issues of democracy and civil liberty. (For his quotes see crown heights comment a worker-religious mimeograph pam phlet published in Brooklyn which is generally circulated to news-men but seldom reaches print.) Now all this is accurate as representing truly the position of Thomas and American socialism. Indeed I think the best publication exposing the inner workings of communism from critical standpoint is a socialist magazine. But there Is another socialist magazine which is a dupe and catspaw for whatever communist line the oracles of the kremlln decree. Thomas did not tell the whole story. He hedged his words to the point where they became a wishy washy prosaic deception. He spoke pure theory whereas current facts tell a different story. England Under Question HOW long can England' union socialism remain democratic if the miners fail to produce enough coal to run the country as is England's current predicament Thomas says to look1 at England, New Zealand and the demo cratic socialist countries. All right look at them. Britain is not producing enough to sus tain itself because the workers won't work under socialism but naturally take it easier. What, then, is the next step? The answer most people give is: coercion. The workers will have to be required by the government to do enough work to produce products needed by the country for itself and its export market. Coercion is dictatorship, loss of "democracy and civil lib erty." Socialism today is just one jump ahead of dictatorship. It has lost the production in centive of capitalism, or rather crushed this de liberately, the incentive which furnished goods enough to live. It has abolished the one thing which would have saved "democracy and civil liberty" and is declining from its own efforts. Worse than that it has already compromised with communism in France and Italy. It is working with its hated rivals in both countries to its own disadvantage. Knowing better than anyone else the poison ous tentacles of communism it has chosen to embrace these tentacles, delivering the national defense of France to the world revolutionary representatives there, wholly repudiating the popular will of democracy In France by actual ly itself overthrowing the will of the people in the election. Is It Democratic? S socialism' really democratic, Mr. Thomas? . I If it is, Thomas has a job to do. A job entirely within his own ranks. He need not write letters to editors here saying how demo cratic socialism is. He needs to write to Atlee, Ramadier, Blum, and the other thinkers in his movement throughout Europe and he needs to tell them it is time for socialism to act to do something democratic to assure "democracy and civil liberty." It. must reverse its current trend. Socialism is in dire danger of being taken over by communist inspirations, or doing what communism wants in order to prepare the way for abolition of "democracy and civil liberty." Furthermore it is in danger of making itself unpopular with all true democrats, or actually making itself indistinguishable from communism as a political entity, and it will do that as soon as it enters into the realm of coercion of the individual. It had better get itself fast out of the communist realm and establish a reputation for action defending democracy and making its receivership in bankruptcy work. The current decline of socialism, as I say, is the major development of the world. Its current course could prove fatal. To write letter to editors and pretend personally to a theory which has already been corrupted by active leaders in his own movement, will accomplish nothing but deception.

By DeWirr MacKENZIE LAP Foreign Affairs Analyst The most difficult task which the Big Four foreign ministers has been called upon to handle and they've dealt with a lot of tough jobs is that which they will face when they meet In Moscow March 10 to frame the German and Austrian peace treaties. Those treaties, especially the German, are the documents upon which in the main depends the peace and rehabilitation of Europe. But tncy are mucn more than that, for in effect they will represent treaties among the Big Four themselves treaties which will brine Deace only if they help adjust the difference now exist ing between Russia and the west ern democracies. Germany Smaih.d So far as concerns the mighty Germany which twice tried to conauer Europe within a genera tion, she is well and truly smashed at least physically, though your correspondent knows from investigation on the ground that there are many Ger mans who aren t beaten mentally yet. War-mongering Prussia, mil' itaristic heart of the old reich, has ceased to exist as a state. Henry Parkman. civil affairs chief in the American military government, recently remarked: "All we have to do is tell the foreign ministers next March 10 about an accomplished fact. Prussia is more busted up man Humpty-Dumpty." This means that Germany (and Austria) will have to take what Is laid on the line for them. Still, the matter isn't as simple as all that. As remarketl in yesterday's column, these strategically situ ated countries loom large in the security calculations of both east ern and western Europe. Ger many and Austria are the no-man's-land between east and west, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say everyman's land, since neither party is pre pared to give ground to the other in this protective belt That is due to suspicions which exist on both sides of the barrier. Those doubts will not be removed until the great issues of disarm' ament and control of atomic energy have been disposed of and general security is assured. Thus the forthcoming confer ence in Moscow is in reality a peace parley among the great powers. What happens to Ger many is, oi course, a momentous question but it is secondary to what happens to relations among the Big Four upon whom the peace of the world largely de pends. The whole vast problem of the Treatment Richard Bogattiy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank liouu tay, 1840 Mnnzniiltn. la a pa tient at ItlllHide hospital whura he is receiving medical care.

Boys' Camp Bill Slated SALEM, Jan. 28 W) A hill to provide for boys' camps, based on Governor Earl Snell's pro posal, was introduced Monday by the senate county affairs committee. Boards of county commission ers or city councils could estab lish such camps by agreement with the forestry service. Courts handling juvenile de linquency cases would commit boys between 12 and 18 years of age to such camps. The sponsor ing groups would set up the training, discipline and instruc tional programs for the camps, and the board of control would provide support on the basis of $30 a month per boy. Meanwhile, the house social welfare committee is studying the proposal, too, and a sub committee has been named to arrange a date when the com mittee can inspect the two sites recommended by the state for estry department.
