Left home tor the north this morn
Inn with a happy mixture of fcel
lnss that come from the conscien
tious thought ot doing- to a business
meeting, with the knowledge in
back ot mind that the trip would
be sttong on the vacation side.
Ooseiwc the f'r. ..i-o u. aafe
holiday driving by starting in the
morning after a good night's sleep.
Also observed rule number two by
letting in fresh air. and rule num

Skipped rule number three una
lng a coffee stop at least every two
hour:) ou account of getting off a
hslf hour late and wanting to hit
Bend in time to have lunch with
Bend Rotary Club.
Close observation while passing
through Chemult revealed the usual
number of dogs in evidence: two
.sleeping and one scratching; two
Labs and one Chesapeake.
Contractors were at work north
of iaPine. straightening out an
other section of the road. Their
work scarcely slows up travel.
As a matter of tact, by steady
driving, am lrom lorgetung what
an easy drive it is. we arrived In
Bend a half hour before noon.
We ran into Tea onooj rght off
the bat and sat with him at the
Bend Rotary meeting. Ted is a for
mer Klamath man and still is a
partner in the Shooo and Schulxe
business here and in Central Ore
gon. ,
Tne conversation was carefully
steered away from the subject of
potatoes, and we were all ears as
the Bend boys went over their
plans for the second annual Jun.or
Livestock Show.
Because of conflict with a coun
ty fair in the fall, the Junior snow
Is held in June. Howard Maple, who
was a great Oregon State quarter
back twenty some years ago and
who cow is Studebaker dealer in
Bend, is In charge of their show
this year.
' He was organizing i work party
for the show grounds. The club has
constructed its own livestock sheds
at Bruin field, and will bring in
4-H and FFA youngsters from the
three counties.
We learned that The Rev. Fred
Wissenbach had been seriously 111
but now is on the mend. Fred was
at St. Paul's here before taking
over duties In Central Oregon.

It seems like almost everything
mat coma uireaien extinction ot
the newspaper has of a sudden,
massed for the kill. Now comes
a SO-million-dollar increase tn Ihe
annual newsprint bill. If the news
paper survives the rocketing costs
ana lanuasuc competition it now
faces it will truly be indestructible.
And it better survive. An inde
pendent, control-free press Is about
all that stands between complete
government domination of Ameri
can life and the God-given rights
u me people.
Through its licensing power, gov
ernment controls all vocal means
of communication.
Politically dominated bureaus
cay who shall build, buy, own or
operate a radio or television sta
tion. License to stay on the air
must be renewed at frequent
ntervals. Government intimidation
and star chamber censorship ol
radio therefoe exists.
Need a thoughtful citizen know
more than this to realize the vital
necessity for an unfettered, fear
less pess; beholden to no admini
stration for its existence, account'
able to no one but Its readers-for
its content; a forum where the
smallest man may speak his
mind?
In the last 20 years 749 Amer
ican newspapers have disappeared
through failures, mergers and con
solidations in the main brought
about by mounting production
costs, principally labor and news
print. Twenty years ago newsprint cost
$40 a ton; $50 at the date of Pear
Harbor. A $10 Increase just an
nounced brings it to $126. Labor
costs, largely occasioned by gov
ernment extravagance and attend
ant high cost of living, have
soared too. The cost of covering
world news has trebled, since we
took upon ouselves the welfare of
Christendom. The increase In taxes

are read than ever in history. The
people spend more for newspaners
than they spend for books, maga

combined. Fifty-four million news
papers are read every day.
This could not have happened If
their new friends had met people's

I make my living in a community

years, almost, since I attended

ultimately all but written off as a

NEW YORK IPi There is a
wry date on the worlds calendar
this month the beginning of the
third year of the Korean war.
Barring a resumption of large
scale fighting or a sudden and
successful conclusion of the truce
talks, the end of the second year
of the conflict will find both siaes
roughly where they were when It
started, June 25, 1950 astride the
38th parallel.
They have been virtually stale
mated tor nearly a year authough
11 months of almost ceaseless talks
about a cease-fire agreement.
Both sides now are incomparably
stronger than they were at the
outset of the war. But the dismay
ing fact is that in the last year,
despite day-and-night hammering
by Allied planes, the enemy has
doubled his troops along the front
from 500,000 men to 1,000,000.
He has 600 tanks and armored
guns ready, more than twice the
number he had In 1950. His artil
lery is also greater. His alrpowcr
has doubled or trebled.
The Allies virtually destroyed
the first enemy the North Korean
Army. Their main foe now is the

of the latest and best weapons
made by Soviet Russia, which

it looked at tne start as only a
Job tor the reugular Army an Ori
ental grassflre that could quickly
be stamped out. But today most
of the Americans in uniform in
Korea are civilians, called to duty.
Month by month the war has
touched more and more American
families.
GREAT I'NREST
There Is a great unrest about
this strange twilight, faroff
struggle that goes on and on and
has cost this nation alone some
109,000 casualties. Americans aren't
used to seeing themselves In the
nllght of a man who has got his
hand stuck In flypaper and can't
paw it off.
"What kind of a war Is this?"
they say. impatiently. "Let's get
It over with."
But as of now only three things
can be said for sure about the
Korean business:
1. It did stop In its tracks the
attempt of Communism to expand
by blunt force.
2. It woke ud America to the
bitter truth It wasn't ready to de
fend Itself, and had become the lat
boy of the post-war world.
3. It shows no signs of ending
soon.
Some critics of united Nations
policy believe the Allies should
mass more men and weapons and
smash through the Chinese Reds to
tne Yalu River.
That nrobablv could be done, at
the price of heavy casualties. But

LITTLE CHANCE
Of course, I can't imagine the
federal tax people going for any
thing like this uot when a work

price of a caretaker for her chil
dren: when until recently baby ell
was taxed as a cosmetic; when Army and his 18.761 a year In

called "maintenance of family
good-wiH" undoubtedly wouldn t
get any farther than the recep
tionist's waste paper basket.
Anyway. It would probably cause
the unmarried tax-payers to
scream about the unfairness of it
all. Maiden ladies would probably
apply for a morale deduction
which would include a visit to the
beauty salon and maybe the price
of a man-catching wardrobe.
Bachelors could make a pretty
logical pitch In favor of deducting
expenses incr,-red during the
courting period, which as every
one knows is a period of free
spending and the exercise cf
salesmanship.
On second thought, maybe the
whole tax structure would be in
danger of collapse if we open Uie
floor on gooa-wui, even lamny.
Boijk
is this: Would that end the Korean
war, or only precipitate the third
world war?
Russia has gone to extreme
lengths to keep satellite states be
tween her and any possible enemy.
Would she stand idly by while a
great foreign land army came to
the red raw nerve of her Siberian
frontier?
Or would she throw her own
Siberian Army into action and per
haps simultaneously march into Eu
rope? It is this possibility that holds
Us In deadlock in Korea.
FREEDOM
But meanwhile the forces of the
free world are building. There also
remains one diplomatic avenue
that hasn't been publicly explored.
As time goes on, will Red China
be content to remain a catspaw of
Russia? Tito wasn't.
Can a way be found to drive a
wedge between the endless man
power of China and the mushroom
ing Industrial might of Russia?

million lives on the battlefield.

more terrible third world war.

ROUGH CAMT-AIGN
All this, together with another
round ot conferences Tuesday, was
a prelude to what looks like one
of the roughest political campaigns
In recent history.
The general is pitted against
Sen. Taft of Ohio and others tn
the growlngly Intense struggle for

by Rep. B. Carroll Recce of Tnn

Rcecc suggested Eisenhower

This was a reference to a bid
from Elsenhower backers for OOP
convention delegates to visit the

campaign groups, If the delegates
do not pay their own travel costs.
As part of Elsenhower's official
welcome, he was hurried to the
White House to report to President
Truman. He was there almost two
hours.
The greater part of the time was
devoted to a two-man talk be

"The Chinese people have now
