The Portland cham ber of commerce group came down an presented their "Grass Is Gold" show for the local group and drew the biggest crowd I've ever seen at a midweek chamber meeting. It may sound a little far-fetched that a plan for range improvement should be sponsored oy a group Irom Oregon's largest town i Port landers like to call it a city) but that's where it was Incubated and 'it has grown Into a healthy baby since. The grasslands group plan Is simple. They want to see more Brass in the nation in order to raise more beef and more sheep, to stop erosion and to provide the essential water storage that this nation must have. ' As was pointed out at yesterday's meet, grass is the primary crop. Not only of Oregon and the North west but also of the world. When all else is gone there is still grass. Timber burns over and takes gen erations to come back. Grass does U in a year. And from the grass come the byproducts that give us food and clothing and shelter and medicine. We are just learning a little bout grass. Sure, we know it will produce beef on cattle and wool on sheep. We know that it serves as a surface binder for the earth to prevent the topsoil from blowing , away. We know that its roots probe deep Into the land and pro vide for water storage. But we ! dont know a lot of things like what grasses are best for what soils, how best to transplant and reseea certain species of legumes, how to boost along growth in dry land areas and things like that. The Grasslands program is foster. , lng research In these fields. Through the simple medium of drumming Up public Interest, through pro - grams such as this one, through awarding prizes for the men of each countv who do the most in development of grass. But this program wont do any one a damn bit of good unless every man and woman in the Unit ed States is spurred on to take an interest to it. Because it's your program, your life that will be richer and fuller as a result, vour Suture generations that are going to have to go on eking out a living on this tired old world.- died : ' NEW YORK Wl The oddity Bunanac: Remember the old Dagmar?. shiny sides. . . .great on curves. . . and carried a front and rear bump er. . .

' A. L. Stelnhauser of Chicago told the Multnomah County Equal ization Board that Oregon's tax system is responsible for the state's failure to attract new in dustry, i He said business cannot bear an inequitable tax burden over a long period. Stelnhauser said Montgomery ward merchandise in Portland worth 85,430,275 was valued for tax purposes at 60 per cent of that amount He asked a reduction to 30 per cent, which he said is the valuation figure for tax purposes on real estate. A decision by the board is ex pected next week. Life's Work For Naught : ' DAYTON, O. W When Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. White were wed 25 years ago, they decided to go ' along with just the bare necessi ties In life. Both worked. Neither smoked nor drank. They had no car. Movies were a luxury. When they counted up their sav ings last weekend, they had 43, 600, which Mrs. White kept pinned to her slip. They intended to bank the mon ey Monday. But Mrs. White worked late and the banking was postpon ed. Monday night the money was Bone, Tbe couple figure their life savings dropped Into trash Mrs, -Wilts gathered and burned. BILL JENKINS Managing Editor BOARD JENKINS Of course up here on the desert we take a rather isolated view of things. Perhaps the program comes a little closer to us than it might to the people of the valley because here grass is not a commonplace. Anyone who has ever tried to raise a lawn knows that. Drive through the country and you'll see that seventy percent of the unirrl gated land is almost barren of real ly good grating grass. Barren, that is, In relation to the unproved ranees where research and work have brought about miraculous changes. Head out Into the vast stretches of ranee lands lying to the east ol us and you'll drive for hundreds oi miles after hundreds of miles through government owned land that is raising one steer to twenty acres of land. Scott McKendree, right here at home, is already get tins a gain of 900 pounds uer ocre off his improved pasture. Sure. that's a high .figure and one that probably will never be duplicated on the high desert meadows where there isn't an adeauate supply of water. But it's a goal to keep In mind. Within a hundred miles of nere you can see for yourself what range management can do on a small scale. Drive up to the Cof feepot someday, in the Fremont, and take a look at those long mead ows that used to be filled with sagebrush and cheat grass. They are now beginning to show good yields of grass and grazing will soon a gam be permitted on a com mercial scale. But that's neither here nor there at the moment. The Important thing to get over is that grass is really cold. It's the kind of thine that can be rung up on the cash register and put in your pocket and spent with the merchants for the goods you have to have In your daily life. Whether you are a rancher, a merchant, a butcher, a plumber, a librarian or a clerk grass is helping you. II through appeals on the part of the chamber groups, the press and interested persons we can get everyone to thinking in terms of increased production from our vast ranges, then there won't be any thing to worry about in this coun try oi ours. There will be plenty for all. (Fair warnine: IhereH be more of this stuff coming for the next lew aays so prepare yourself.)

(BhUUJl South Africa is a far-away land that Americana don't ordinarily give much thought to, but there's puuui-ai iTis aowu were 'low which should command our atten tion. This situation is rooted in the Tur bulent relations between the whites of European descent and the na tive blacks, and between the two mam European strains the Boers of largely uutch ancestrv and the British. Prime Minister Daniel Malnn. a Boer and the leader of the Nation alist Party now in control of the government, precipitated the storm in its present phase. After he took over, Malan adopt ed a number of policies involving the critical racial Issues that be set South Africa. Were we familiar with the full-details of these poli cies, we Americans would certain ly differ widely among ourselves on their wisdom. Since we are not thus informed, there is no point in our entering that part of the controversy. wnere we can rightly express ourselves is on a constitutional ques tion that has grown out of Malan's program. COURT TILT The Supreme Court of South Af rica nullified one of the laws he had engineered to passage in the na tional parliament. Instead, oi ac cepting the verdict of the court as valid. Malan has now undertaken to curb the court's power over the legislature. Apparently there are a great many learned legal arguments en the issue of whether South Africa actually has a real constitutor! or not. These are not for us. All we need to know is this: the South African court wasn't contend ing that Parliament lacked the power to pass laws without court approval. It simply argued that the i ABC's WASHINGTON Wl If the new attorney general. James P. Mc- Granery, picks up where he left off a couple of months ago he'll call in J.

Last April 4. right after Presi dent Truman chose him for attor ney general, the 56-year-old Mc- Oranery told newsmen Hoover would be given the Job of finding any misconduct in the govern ment. At the time McGranery couldn't tell Hoover -to investigate anybody since he wasn't even attorney general, in spite of presidential appointment, and couldn't be until the Senate approved, which it did Tuesday.

Tommy Hess Red Twister At it Again MOSCOW Wl The Soviet avia tor who 15 years ago landed Rus sian scientists near the North Pole said Wednesday the expedition was for scientific purposes but that re cent U. S. Air Force activity in the polar region seeks to make It a base for attack on the Soviet Union. Writing in Red Star, the Army newspaper, Mihail Vodopyanov said the Americans are carrying out plans for use of the Arctic for military purposes "alien to the 8oviet people.' The U.S. Air Forte announced on May 4 that one of its C-47 trans ports had made history's first suc cessful landing at the geographic North Pole. The Air Force said officials and scientists had spent three hours and 10 minutes on the Ice pack tak ing measurements before returning to their weather station base estab lished earlier on an ice island 135 miles away.

If Malan should have his way, the door would be wide open for his or any other government to perpetuate Itself in otflce Indefinite ly, to establish a dictatorship. The Parliament would never have to leel that it was bound by anv re strictions, even those of lis own making. THKEAT What concerns us is not only the danger this poses to Dolnlral dom. but the threat it brings of blood shed, strife and oosslhlv vrn tivu war in &ouin Ainca. Re ports from many sources indicate this prospect Is real. From thft Kftfltih vimw Malik.. we nor any of our friends of (he free world can be indifferent to the development of another sore spot on me giooe. mere are too many already. South Africa is a producer of gold, uranium and other metals and materials of value to the security and well being of the free nations. Serious civil strife could cut oft those supplies. But the ereater Doint 1 that u should hate to see freedom disap pear from so important an outpost as South Africa. As idealists who oeneve in liberty, we are glad the South Africans have It today. We are sympathetic toward the aspira tions of all who cherish freedom. Moreover, the South Africans" loss of it could not help but men ace our own liberties. Every shrink ing -oi ine woria area of liberty puts In larger peril the untram meled life of the remaining free peoples. Prime Minister Malan' should be made to hear the voices of protest. Oranery is head of the Justice Department and the FBI Is part of It. the new attorney general can resume where he left off In April by having a chat with Hoover. NOT ANXIOUS Although he hasn't said so pub licly, it's hardly an exaggerated guess that Hoover Is less than de lighted by the prospect of making a special inquiry into the high life end low life of government oflicial dom. His FBI already has plenty of chores anyway, while government corruption covers that extremely gummy field of ethics and morals where only a wink can separate in discretion from conniving. And, at least in one direction. Hoover would be handcuffed be fore he started: He" couldn't in vestigate the Treasury Departs ment where most of the wrong doing has been found. By special law of Congress only treasury in vestigators can Investigate the treasury. Still, if McGranery asks Hoover for bis files their chat may turn out to be very fruitful. If they have a chat. HOARDER - The FBI, collecting various kinds of information a long time, looks upon information with the same fondness some people bestow on pins and old strings: It never throws anything away. since It has been making loyalty investigation of government work ers for some years now, a task requiring it to pry Into the private lives of public people, the FBI un doubtedly has accumulated inter esting oddments. And, of course, maybe it harm I. But. whatever it has learned is in the FBI files, which might make as good a starting point as any for McGranery, if he wants to take some reading matter home with him.

LEE HENDRICKS "Your Neighborhood Druflglst" IS NOW OPEN FROM 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. . EVERYDAY INCLUDING SUNDAY A friend of mine Is mil upsrt and Is contemplating a trip to the psychiatrist. She keeps worrying that she's going to wake up sonic morning ami find she's up a tree. She's got the chlorophyll Jitters. Although I'm not worried yet about turning into a tree, I do share her concern about the cur rent American warfare on odor. Maybe It would be a wonderful thing to abolish all evil smells but alonn Willi it there's the dnngrr of eliminating (he good ones ai well. First thing you know, our noses like our appendices, will be vestigial remains. And when that goes, so will our Joy of eating.

Instead of root beer, on hot summer days. as i unaerstand what I read, in- ternal and external applications of this green stuff removes Ihe haz ard in eating garlic, eliminates the tattle-tale stigma induced by over- long stops at the corner pub. Of course, It also practically guaran tees romance. (Seems like you can't sell anything these davs un less you can throw in some sort I of romantic promise with it.) Personally, I'm not sure that I want garlic to be rendered Inof fensive. Part of the pleasure of eating a garlic studded dish Is the devil-may-care attitude of weighing gastronomic adventure against so cial acceptance, I have nothing but sympathy for the people wives, employers and motorcycle cops who have hitherto been partially guided by their olfactory senses In the control and discipline of the too-enthusiastic tippler. A Jealous wife, from here In, won't bo able to tell whether her sweet-smelling husband Is merely covering up evi dence of a saloon visit or Is all perfumed up like new-mown grass in pursuit of the little blonde in the treasurer's office. I suppose a built-in chlorophyll dosage in toothpaste merely Is con tinuing the current trend toward the all-purpose brushing. Right now I believe toothpaste In connection with a brush discourages dental caries, massages the gums, cleans the teeth, polices the breath. Next they'll be adding vitamins and trace minerals, and we'll be eat inB it on crackers as a health food ping. DOGS TOO My heart really bleeds, however, for the nation's dog population. I understand that they are sneaking a bit of this stuff Into doz fond. and the proclaimed result is that dogs won't smell like dogs any more. They will smell, I suppose, more like a maple or pine tree. It so happens I have some authori tative pipelines Into the dog world, and I am reliably Informed that a survey shows that 97.6 per cent cf dogs actnally prefer to keep on smelling like dogs, particularly on rainy days. I know my cat would much prefer to have dogs smell like dogs, because she's near-sighted and relies considerably on her sense of smell for alarms. There's a chlorophyll shampoo out now. I suppose pale green shav ing soap, bubble bath, shoe clean er, laundry and dish washers ore not far behind. In a few years this smell-conscious America of ours will have only one odor left, r.o odor. And I predict It will be a pretty dull, monotonous place to live. I'm for keeping some bnd smells so we'll appreciate the good ones. KERR TO PORTLAND PORTLAND W Oklahoma Sen. Robert S.
