The primary is all over as far
as the voters are concerned.
Now It's Just a matter of count
ing the votes, tabulating them and
seeing what happens.
This Is belnn written In the wee
small hours of today after one of
the - quietest elections In the his
tory of the Herald and News' ef
forts to Ret the most accurate re
port on the vote, in the shortest
possible time.
For us here at the paper it Is
a slow time. Only a handful of
spectators have dropped in to shoot
the breese and keen an eye on
the tote board out front. The
phones have hugged the desks like
irosen ana inanimate cnuua w
black clay with scarcely a jingle
to break the awesome stillness of
the biR voting niRht.
The count, due to a congested
and often confused ballot, is slow
and drags on until the sun peeps
over the hills. A quarter of four
now and only 22 precincts in with
a final count. .
But It is obvious that there has
been a pretty good turnout at the
polls. Interest lies In that direc
tion, perhaps.
Some things are clear already.
Elsenhower and Kefauver have
shown their strength and emerged
as the opposing champs In the com
ing race.
Giles French has apparently lost
the district to his opponent, Sam
Coon.
The race for county assessor is
still close with only a smattering
of votes between Metsker and
Hess.
On the city measures it looks as

All that can be said Is that an

past except for the newspaper and
radio reports that will be forth -

Every sober-minded American
recognizes that In building ade
quate defenses this country is try
ing to steer a difficult course be'
tween too little security and too
heavy and lasting a drain upon
the economy.
- It Is no contribution toward a
solution of this problem to hack
way at the military and foreign
aid budget recklessly. Nor is it
any better to propose astronomical
sums for defense and then declare
they should be Immune to the
printer's knife. s
. What we are looking for In these
times are genuinely constructive
suggestions which show a full
awareness of the basic dilemma.
We are trying to avoid letting
Joseph Stalin' conquer America
and its allies either directly by
military ' assault or Indirectly
through the bankruptcy of this
nation.
We got such a proposal when
John Foster Dulles and others
recommended that. Instead of try
ing to defend every nook and
cranny of the free world with foot
soldlers, we create a highly mobile
and powerful striking force to be
held In strategic locations for
swift dispatch to trouble zones.
VIRTUES
This arrangement has obvious
virtues both militarily and econom
ically, since it would impart great
flexibility to defensive operations
while saving large numbers of men
who otherwise would be committed
to widely stretched border defense.
Now General Eisenhower has
added another constructive
thought. As reported in secret

The prostate is a small sex gland
which stores the seminal fluid. The
openings into it are narrow so that
It makes a particularly good place
for germs to grow. Infections of
this gland are usually divided Into
acute ana enronic varieties.
Acute prostatitis is often, but by
no means always caused by a
germ called the Ronococcus which
Is the cause of gonorrhea. However,
many organisms can grow in this
gland and mixture of germs are
frequent. Germs can invade the
prostate along the urinary passage
ways or can be carried there by
the blood stream.
The symptoms of acute infection
of the prostate mav be mild or
severe. The most common ones at
the beginning are disturbances of
urination, such as burning, fre
quency, and dribbling. Pain or a
feeling of fullness may or may not
be present. ,
During the acute stage absolute
rest In bed and avoidance of strain
is necessary. The application of
. heat, elkallnlzlng the urine and
drinking fluids freely also may be
desirable. -
In the past this was about all

If anyone thinks that working on

from the wife of our mayor. Kath

forcefully, that It be advocated,

"Nobody," she said, "will read a

It is to be hoped In the near
future we can go back to harping
about small incidents, cursing the
administration, the weather and
the break-up in our streets and
forget the onerous duties of elec

rives with snow, geese, major

general election.
It is to be sincerely hoped that
in that time we will be granted
the Indulgence of a trifle of warm

And in parting may I pose a

should place our reliance upon a
relatively small active striking
force backed up by a very sub
stantial and highly effective re
serve force.
This proposal is In the same di
rection as the Dulles plan. Said
Gruenther: "General Eisenhower's
philosophy in meeting this (Rus
sian) threat is that if we try to
meet the Soviets division for di
vision and plane for plane, we are
going to lose the battle from an
economic viewpoint."
This plan would avoid maintain
ing large, costly standing armies.
It would avoid equipping them to
tne full with weapons which might
easily be outmoded by the time
a war began.
SUPPORT
A relatively small force. If suf
ficiently strong and mobile. Is not
inconsistent with the hardest ne
cessities of real security, provided
also that it is buttressed by thor
oughly trained reserves and an
industrial capacity capable of a
lightning shift to war goods to
equip tnem.
From such sources as Dulles
and Eisenhower and Senator Doug
las of Illinois, we are getting fresh
elements for a sensible, safe and
financially feasible policy of de
fense. It Is fair to hope that the ad
ministration is taking full note of
these proposals. They are an at
tempt to Rive not only American
but Allied policy real substance
and clear objectives. They are
original. Imaginative and contain
tha. spark of positive leadership.
All but the most partisan ad

dition and like the acute variety,
is sometimes, but by no means al
ways, caused by the gonococcus.
Chronic prostatitis is likely to be

It often follows acute infection,
which can now be treated with bet
ter chances of complete cure.
Chronic prostatls often produces
few If any symptoms.' Some pa
tients have only a small amount
of pus. Others have urlnarv svmn-
toms similar to those of the acute
variety but not so severe. Local
signs of prostate Infection mav be

may cuase difficulties elsewhere in
the body such as arthritis, neuritis.
muscle pains or Irits.
In order to make an accurate
diagnosis, the prostatic secretion
has to be obtained and examined
under the microscope. This will re
veal the nature of the trouble and
what germs are responsible.
A long-lasting chronic prostatitis
is difficult to cure. Treatment in

applications and sometimes vac

WASHINGTON uv- In a spirit
of perfect harmony the House

voted for a device for knocking
thousands of dollars off their own
income tax. Not yours. Theirs.
In this election year the men on
Capitol Hill have called for econ
omy in a stern tone that could be
heard bv the folks back home. And
they have cut a slice off vlrtuallv
every government spending bill
that came before them.
Thursday, ud came the annual
bill covering the expenses of Con
gress for another year. Instead of
cutting money for Congress, they

FREE SPACE
Then the House voted to let
every one of its members there
are 435 seats spend up to S9C0 a
year for office space back home if
he can't find free space in some
federal building there. Senators
already have such an allowance.
If every member of Congress
took advantage of this, the cost to
the government would exceed
$477,000 a year.
In the midst of this came an
amendment from Ren. McCor-
mBck of Massachusetts, leader of
the Democrats. This amendment
wasn't a sudden emotional notion
by McCormack. It had been fig
ured out by tax experts.
ine Kepuoucans promptly said
they had no objections, which
might indicate they thoroughly
knew beforehand what was In th
amendment. It passed without ar-
gurnent, much to the astonishment

It makes her a close snectatar
of the problems of that nart of the
universe she doesn't have to dust

my own home, and does it leave me
uneasy? It does.

months ago and nicknamed it
"Little Miss Cyclops" because of
the single big eye in its forehead.

But today? this blonde Intruder

When Frances wants to know
anything, she no longer consults
me. She asks Little Miss Cyclops.
It Is worse than having a bossy
mother-in-law around the place.
I never did claim to know the
answers to everything! but Little
Miss Cyclops does or pretends
to. And so my husbandly authority
is breaking down altogether.

Take politics. The last political
remark I remember my wife ma
king was in 1939, when she said:
"When this Hitler goes Into a

Well, naturally, mv friends and I
treasured this utterance with con
siderable hilarity for many years.

derstand the full significance oi
the amendment wmch provides:
That the place of residence of
a member of Congress in the
state, district or territory he re
presents shall be considered to be
his home for purposes of the
federal tax law.
The reporters checked with the
Internal Revenue Bureau where
they learned this is what the
amendment means: It would let
members of Congress deduct as
business expenses and all their ex
penses while living and working
in Washington, away from home.
DEDUCTIONS
This would include the cost of
food, transportation, hotel ex
penses, or expenses tor renting or
owning a house, tips and so on. A
member couldn't deduct for the
expense of his family.
(That's the way the law works
for a businessman who comes to
Washington on a business trip. He
can deduct for his expenses here,
but not for his family, presumably
because he didn't have to bring
his family.)
But. since some members of
Congress live In very high-priced

Policyholders who wish to main-
lain a record oi Ihelr premium
payments are advised by the VA
to make payments by check or
money order and to keep the can
celled checks or monev order
stubs as evidence of their pay
ments. On two types ol faultv premium

VA will continue to provide a

no one determined whether I was
qualified lo vote In either district.
The law has set forth definite nual.
Mictions lor those voting In school
districts. They are:
"Any person who Is a registered
voter in a precinct or part of a pre
cinct wlihln a school district 30
days prior to a school election and
who has continuously resided In
sulci school district six month Im
mediately prior to said school elec
tion and who Is actually prevent
at said election shall be entitled lo
vote on any matter before said
election shall be entitled to vote
on any matter before said elec

a registered voter and (2 a real
dent of the district In which I voted
continuously for six mouths prior
to the election.
We voted on budgets exceeding
one million dollars neither of my
qualifications was determined by
the election .boards. I could have
Just arrived from New York City,
or could have been visiting from
Eugene for the day. and have vot
ed and my vote would have been
counted. In other words, for all the
paint taken at the polls I could
have been a mere transient pass
uig through.
The sorry thing about the law Is
that the ludge ol an election or an
elector la authorised to challenge
the qualification of those voting
but are not required bv law to do
so.
I understand that the school ills
trlct prior to the budget elections
secured copies of the poll books.
The boards could have determined
that I resided In Precinct 36 and
was entitled lo vote, but failed lo
ask any questions concerning my
qualifications at all.
I have talked with many otner
moole who voted in these elections
and determined that thev were

One cannot help but wonder what
would have happened if someone
had run non-residents and non-registered
people In off of ihe streets
to vote In these elections. They In
all probability would not have been
challenged. Is this ihe wav our
