Because of the tremendous pres

sure of traffic demands when the original construction
of the Willamette was under way. that Important
thoroughfare was never brought up to the full stand
ards required for a road of its importance.
It is one of the Pacific Coast's great trans-mountain
highways from the standpoint of general alignment
and engineering. It carries heavy traffic, Including
passenger, bus and freight lines. It qualifies in every
way for the work needed to bring It up to specifica
tions. When the BPR called for the first bids, they were
rejected as too high. Another bid rail resulted in
another rejection, and the offers were even higher
that time. Naturally, they would be, and they might
be still higher now. But if the BPR is going to build
roads, as it seems to be doing, it will have to do the
Job in these times of higher costs, and certainly the
Willamette highway belongs in the current construc
tion program.
It is time to push for this important project.

Briefs From The Pocket- File
THERE were 23 accidents, including seven fatalities,
in the 1947 big and small game hunting seasons in
Oregon . . . The number includes 12 deer, 1 elk, 1 bear
and 8 small game hunters . . . Nine persons were hit
by other hunters, an unpleasant statistic that tells of
double tragedy for both parties . . . To correct a mis
understanding, our carrying of the Gallup poll In this
newspaper doesn't mean that there is anybody here
polling people on their opinions . . . There may be,
but it doesn't have anything to do with our introduc
tion of this feature in The Herald and News . . . We
Just carry the results . . . The week-end's murder case
development has recalled an unusual telephone inquiry
that came over The Herald and- News wire a month
or so ago ... A woman's voice asked if it was necessary
for the burial of a body to be conducted through an
established funeral home ... It being a woman's voice,
It evidently had no connection with the Franklin case, .
but it provided some speculative material for the
mystery thriller fans around this office. If you're in
terested in the answer to the question, it Is required . . .
A realtor friend of ours says that the housing situation
here Isn't good yet, but it's a lot better than it was for
a while . . .The area rent .control director was here
for a session of the Klamath Vent control board the
other night, and told the local board members they
had functioned as one of the 4op "hoards in his furls- .
diction ... Bill McAllister, prominent Medf ord attorney
and ex-speaker of . the state -house of representatives,
was here over the week-end duck hunting ... He is
considering running for the senate post over there
vacated by the resignation of Earl Newbry, the new
secretary of state . . . Which reminds us that something
ought to be popping pretty soon on the 17th senatorial
district Job. ,.

The Doctor Says
Surgery Aids
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Written for NEA Service
A split in the bone and in the soft
tissues at the center of the roof ot
the mouth is called a cleft palate.
A few persons are bom with this
defect, but it Is never acquired after
birth.
Cleft palate results from a failure
of the bone and soft tissues to grow
together as they should before birth.
It is almost always accompanied by
a sput upper lip, called harelip.
The exact cause of. harelip or cleft
palate is not known. Probably, how
ever, It is a result of defective in
heritance. Possibly, in some cases, it
may be caused by some injury dur
ing the growth period of the unborn
child. The recent studies on German
measles in the mother during the
first three months ot pregnancy and
the appearance of congenital defects
of the infant ma have some bear
ing on this.
The presence of a cleft nalate or
harelip at birth not only affects the
appearance of the child, but also
Interferes with the production of
voice sounds and, therefore, results
in serious speech difficulties.
Treatment Involves surgery. The
first step is to decide what opera-

THE Washington Post says:
". , , Actually Marshal Feng is 111 the doghouse
so far as Chiang Kai-shek Is concerned, but Chiang
was so constrained by Feng's prestige with the people
and the armies of China all of them, communist as
well that he gave him a mission abroad and a high
sounding title as the mark ot his displeasure. Feng's
'crime' is that he refused to participate In Chinese
killing of Chinese. In other words, he was opposed to
the civil war, and. In protest, resigned his post as vice
generalissimo of the Kuomlntang armies under Chiang
Kai-shek."
Unfortunately for the record. General Feng Yu
hsiang has been an active participant in China's civil
to my personal knowledge. He did not
mind killing Chinese as long as his armlea did the
killing. Some ot his private wars, particularly those
In which he turned on his old colleague, Wu Pel-fu,
were senseless and were more responsible than any
other cause for the rise ot the Tuchuns and the dis
organisation of North China and the ultimate success
of the Kuomintang-communlst revolution ot 19:16-7.
a a a a
Tricky Record
TO say that General Feng is opposed to killing
Chinese Is to tmply that there Is no one in this
country who knows his tricky record, his deals with
Karakhan, Borodin. Galens-Bleucher and other agents
of Soviet Russia in China. It Is not at all surprising
that Marshal Feng should have left China as an agent
for Chiang Kai-shek and should, while In this country,
attend a pro-Russian, pro-communist convention in
Kansas City where the principal enemy of China and
the United States, Soviet Russia, was lauded to the
skies.
What will Feng do If the course of events and Ameri
can negligence force the Chinese government to turn
a favorable ear to Russian blandishments? That may
come to pass, for, unaided, the Nanking government
is helpless. Will he then praise Chiang as a wise
statesman because he Joined forces, by the coercive
power ot circumstance, with America's enemy?
The Washington Post further comments:
"It is wrong to think that the present war is a war
between Chiang Kai-shek and the communists. It is a
gigantic melee in which many factions and dissidents,
as well as the communists, are engaged against Chiang
Kai-shek. A bare chance remains of mediating this
fratricidal strife, but if this is impossible, and further
more, if Chiang is defeated, any new regime In Nanking
would certainly not be communist. Marshal Feng,
whose view this is, merely confirms what most sober
observers of the confusion in China report."
a a a a
Only Fools Predict
WHOEVER wrote that editorial should have
known better than to prophesy what is going to
happen in China. Foreigners have been doing that
since the late 1830 s when they first began solving
China's problems with such few results as are now
apparent. It Is almost axiomatic that Just the opposite
of what they say usually happens. When Chiang Kai-
shek first began to move out of Canton, all the foreign
ers at the long bars in Peking and Shanghai, to say
nothing of Hankow and Hongkong, were sure that he
would fizzle out. And their argument was that no
southerners could ever beat northerners!
Well, 20 years have passed since Chiang established
his government first at Hankow and then at Nanking,
and he has stood up against communists, northerners
and the Japanese with fortitude and power since. It l
true that his government is insufficient. What can be
expected during 20 years of unending civil war and a
war against Japan In which Chiang stood alone for 11
years? Could he have fought such wars and organized
a model country besides? Look what a few years of war
did to England and to us I
If war could end In China, that country might be
able to settle down to some reorganization of Its politi
cal and economic life. But it is the communists who
have kept China at war since 1927 when they broke
into Nanking and ravaged that city as anyone with
any memory must recall. What is the use of praising
such a man as Feng? He ought to be sent back home,
to China, where he belongs. We have too many alien
propagandists in this country, anyhow.
Harelip
tion should be used, and at what
age It should be started. All of the
operations are somewhat alike, since
they Involve bringing the separated
bones together.
AIDS SPEECH
A successful operation for cleft
palate and harelip can greatly im
prove the speech as well as the
appearance. A boy who has had a
successful operation can often com
pletely Ignore the past difficulty,
since he has the additional advan
tage of ultimately being able to grow
a mustache to cover whatever slight
scar might remain.
As it Is unllkeiy that any preven
tive method will be found In the
near future, It Is a great comfort
to know that many victims of this
defect can be successfully treated by
surgery.
QUESTION: Is there any danger
In having superfluous hair removed
oy the Roentgen Ray?
F. P.
ANSWER: Yes. there la a danoer
in attempting to remove excessive
hair by X-ray. Skin SDeclallstji
dosages of X-ray, which are enough
to remove hair, can also damage the
oa-iu.

The World
Today
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
$a4taaaaaaaaaaaaafraajaaaafaaaJ
Did you ever sit down with a map
of the world and contemplate the ex
tent of the British Empire and
commonwealth of nations which so
encircle the globe that, as the
Briton points out with Justifiable
pride, the sun never sets upon
them?
If you have done so, you will know
that this mighty combination of na.
tlons and dependencies occupies
something like one-fourth of the
world's known territory, and that Its
population is about a quarter of all
mankind, that Is, more than 500,
000,000. A round-the-world traveler
will, I should guess off-hand, strike
British territory more often than
,Via, nf antt -,,, it
And an enemy nation would find
the British flag flying over a vast
number of strategic defensive
"bases" in both hemispheres.
Great Significance
With this Information In mind we
can appreciate more fully the great
significance ot British Prime Min
ister Attlee's blast against com
munism In his week-end speech
which, by implication, emphasized
Britain's solidarity with the rest of
the western democratic bloc.
Cer" !
talnly his address ranks as one of
the most Important developments
of the New Year thus far.
"Today In Eastern Europe," de
clared Attlce, "the communist party,
while overthrowing an economic
tyranny of landlordism and capital
ism, has renounced the doctrines of
Individual freedom and political
democracy and rejected the whole
spiritual heritage of Western Eu
rope."
The prime minister took a dis
approving glance at American cap
italism "with the characteristic ex
treme Inequality of wealth in Its
citizens," but asserted that "the
United States of America stands
for Individual liberty In the poli
tical sphere and for the mainte
nance of human right."
Attlee said the British labor party
Is following a middle course.
Apropos of this remark, I pointed out
last Friday In my forecast for the
year that Britain's fight for eco
nomic recovery "Is being accom
panied by a political swing of both
left and right toward the center."
Red Defeated
It Is Important to note that Prime
Minister Attlee's slashing attack on
communism followed a campaign in
augurated a couple of weeks ago by
Morgan Phillips, general secretary of
the labor 'socialist) party, to oust
communists from controlling posi
tions which they hold in some Brit
ish trad unions. Last Saturday
gave the first concrete results of this
crusade when Jim Hammond, com
munist president of the Lancashire
area of the National Union of Mine
workers, was defeated for reelection
by C. L. Tyrer, laborlte, who had
b.en vice president.
This hardening of the British at
titude toward aggressive' communism
lends fresh strength to the Marshall
plan for European rehabilitation
a program which Moscow has vowed j
to defeat. A positive stand by Lon
don In this dangerous crisis Is vital
to maintenance of solidarity among
the western democracies. It is a
great morale builder. I

Issues differ an markedly Is Incon
clusive politically; a great deal can
happen In coming months to chiurne
the picture. The results are Inter
eillug chiefly In showing where emit
candidate Is strongest and weakest
today, and what their relative stand
ing Is with different groups Is the
voting population.
A scientifically selected cross
sertlon of voters In all 48 states
was polled on the question:
"If a presidential election were
being held today, and Truman were
running for president on tho demo
cratic ticket against Taft on the
republican ticket, how do you think
you would vote?"
The result nationally Is:
Truman 56'.i
Taft 33
No opinion IS
If the vote la confined only to
those expressing an opinion It would
be M per cent for Mr. Truman, and
S7 per cent for Mr. Taft.
One mutter tor erulullon Is
whether the entrance of Henry A.
Wallace Into the political arena on
a third party ticket would take
away enough democratic voles from
Mr. Truman to result In the election
of a republican. Judging by today's
trial heat, the Wallace forces would
have to draw a huge total from the
democrats In order to put Mr. Tuft
ahead. Hut under existing election
laws It will be difficult fur the
Wallace party to gel on the ballot
In many states.
Mr. Tuft has very substantial
popularity and bucking In the sec
tion of the country from which he
halls, and his next best section Is
the New England and Middle At
lantic area. When the poll results
are analyzed by geographical sec
tions, they show the following:
