We shall now have an opportunity to test the wisdom of this viewpoint. For Congress has approved mill : tary appropriations for the new fis cal year which are roughlv $5 bil lion less than the $51.4 billion re quested bv President Truman. That Is a pretty fair-sized cut in any year. The men In the Pentagon natur ally are displeased at this out come. But their temper is not the measure by which we must go in judging the effect of this reduction in expenditures. If the Pentagon adjusts to the slash without too much anguish and without serious harm to our defen ilve picture, then we will know that the cut was substantially Jus tified and that there is Indeed room lor service economics In the military budget. If, on the other hand, the $5 bil lion reduction necessitates a dan gerous weakening of the American defenses in the ensuing months, if the so-called stretchout of our prep arations becomes an actual thin ning out, then we will' understand that the budget trimming was a foolish move. In the nature of military budgets, one can't easily tell where savings nay be safely made and where they may not. So it Is perhaps unfair to- assume that if the cuts turn out badlv the blame must tall on a "reckless" Congress. What will be important to watch dial EDITORS NOTE: Wilbur Fee ble, America's most average any, has gotten himself into serious trouble while attending-, the Republican National Conven tion. He tells about it himself in his letter to bis faithful wife:. : CHICAGO Wl Well. Trellis Mae, I just hope you can realize the spot I've got myself in by marching for Taft, Eisenhower, Warren and MacArthur. I have overnight become the ov ernight All-American Republican, and I have had to beat down a movement among the stockyards boys to name me for president Here's how it happened, honey, and that blonde who held my hand while the television camera was pointed our way was Just Joking she said. Anyway, I didn't see her later. Well, -dear, I didn't have a pass to get into convention hall, and, naturally, after a week of civic duty here I wanted to see what was going on. I was standing at the entrance to the hall when a fellow came ; up to me and said, "how about carrying this banner into the hall?" "Why, sure," I said. And for 40 odd minutes I muscled that sign Baying "Win With Taft." Well, honey, after that. Just as they were about to throw me out of the hall, an elderly man with a California accent thrust a "Win With Warren" sign in my hand, and said: "Carry on for a great Republican Democrat." i That was when I got hit by one of the circling paper saucers they were throwing up for fun. Of course, the saucer that hit me would have to have a stale hot dog covered with mustard on it. .- Honey, there is no way you can take mustard off a suit here for less than $2.50 and a letter of gratitude to the valet. There is , no charge for the black eye. State Highway Commission Opens Construction Bids PORTLAND liTI The State Highway Commission opened bids on more than four million dollars worth of highway projects Thurs day. It was half of a record-sized two-day program of bid openings. Biggest of the Thursday jobs in point of money was grading and paving on the Columbia River Highway. The low oiler Ciere was nearly a million and a quarter dollars. The projects and apparent low bids by counties included: Curry Aerial photography and topographic mapping of 39 miles along coast between Euchre Creek and Brookings, Delano Aerial Sur veys, Portland, $19,990. Douglas Grading 7.34 miles and temporary surfacing of 3.39 miles of Divide-Rice Hill section, Pacific Highway, Babler Bros., , Portland, $988,629. ' Douglas Construct 332-foot concrete bridge over Calapooya Creek on Elkton-Sutherlin High 362. Douglas Grading and surfac ing 2.15 miles of Reedsport-Dean Creek section of Umpqua Highway, Fred H. Slate Co., Portland, $311,- IM MUICM HsmiKG (0., INC, HUH, ItL WWUtr is this: If the damage done by the cut is heavy, the Pentagon un questionably will request supple mental funds to make up the de ficiency. The altitude of Congress on that request will be an accu rate measure of the sense of re sponsibility the law-makers have for the nation's real security. The public should keep a sharp eve out tor possible deficiency ap propriation requests lor another reason. If they are made and granted, that will mean Congress was wrong. It will also mean that in the end Congress did not save the country $5 billion on defense, or perhaps anything at all. You hear a lot about the old Army game, but you don't hear nearly enough about the old con gregational game. That game is to trumpet loudly budget savings made in the spring, and then quiet ly restore the cuts later on through deficiency appropriations to which the publio customarily pays little attention. It is a politician's way of taking credit for notable savings without. in the end, actually producing those savings. Since $5 billion is quite a bit of money, the new defense budget re duction provides a good test this year of congressional motives and good sense. We all ought to know In the months ahead whether Congress was playing the old phony econ omy game, whether it was taking grave risk, with American secu rity, or whether it really made a wise, shrewdly calculated reduction to ease our staggering burdens. (Btiifk Well. Trellis Mae, then they started the Elsenhower demonstra tion, and the lady in front of me tossed away her Warren sign and said: "If you can't carry for Ike you're yeuow. So I grabbed an Ike sign and followed her gamely around until she started talking to a widower from South Dakota or was It north Vermont? It became such a madhouse. Trellis Mae. that when they nom inated Stassen I jumped up and grabbed a sign. Then somebody said, "We aren't yelling for Stas sen now. Tnis isn't ma." Well, honey, the convention was killing time, and finally an oil man irom uuanoma got up and nomin ated General MacArthur, and said of him that he had "a name that will not die, and will not fade away." The funny thing about the next 35 minutes of madness, Trellis Mae, is that everybody joined in it. It was late at night and the delegates were very tired. I don't think they were nolltlcal- ly for MacArthur at all. But he was a symbol like the American nags they hauled out and hollered lor. The last banner I ended up car rying said, "The People want Mac." I am not at all convinced that is true but it is a possibility. ine Kepumicans are kind of mix- ed up right now, and aren't sure' woum uiey warn. And this letter comes to you irom a urea, loving husband, tired oi snouiaering many oanners. Your own, Wilbur. P.S. I hate to bring up money again but send me some more. I had to buy a round of soft drinks for all us banner carriers. We all agreed on only one thing Gov ernor Warren has the best-looking lamiiy. 220.

The Legislature can't fix prices for any trade or profession. In dians aren't protected by treaty rights when they engage in com mercial fishing on private prop erty. And there isn't any doubt any more about who gets the children In divorce cases. The mother gets them unless her "conduct Is so depraved, immoral and wicked" that the child or children would be harmed by living with her. The seven members of Oregon's Supreme court adopted those prin ciples and several others In deci sions handed down during the court's year which ended last week. i During the past 12 months, the court issued ISO opinions. It also i heard arguments In 14 othen cases 'which haven't been decided yet. In the case of the woman who left her husband and got her di vorce on ground of desertion, the court called it "constructive deser tion." Chief Justice James T. Brand wrote that a man can't beat his wife up and then complain about her leaving him. The husband begged her to come back to him, but said he still was going to be the boss. The high court said that offer wasn't very attrac tive, either. The Supreme Court's price-fixing opinion ruled unconstitutional a 1945 law which allowed barbers to establish minimum prices. It ruled definitely that the Oregon Legislature mustn't pass price -fixing laws. The case of the Indian fisherman went all the way to the United States Supreme - Court, where the Oregon court's decision was up held. The Indian trespassed on a cannery's property to engage in commercial turning, and he said the old Indian treaties guaranteed him fishing rights on the Columbia River. The court said the treaties don't apply to commercial fishing rights.

The position in the sky was given. The comet was observed the following night at the Lowell ob servatory in Arizona. At the time oi discovery, it was oi magnuuae 10, coniderably dimmer than could be seen without optical aid. This discussion has to do more with the "discoverer" than with the "discovery." Leslie Peltier proved years ago that a lover of the stars did not have to be a pro fessional astronomer in order to make important discoveries and to have his name well known over the entire scientific world. Up to 1947 Peltier had discovered 10 com ets and two novae. At that time he was awarded an honorable de gree of doctor of science by Bowl ing oreen state university in omo in recognition of his outstanding work in astronomy over many years. Peltier was born at Delphos, Ohio, Jan. 2, 1900, and seemingly has remained there ever since. He ts at present listed in American Men of Science as a draitsman and cost accountant of the Delphos Bending Co. Earlier he was nn automobile mechanic. He is a member of several scientmc so cieties and has received many awards for his- vnrlable star work and comet discoveries.

Under this, the mother geLs the children unless she has very bad moral character. In another divorce case, the Supreme Court decided for the first time that divorce decrees from other states are valid in Ore- tinn. The court also decided three first degree murder cases durmg the year. It ordered a new trial? In the case of Mrs. Sigurd Hansen, Corvallis. who had been sentenced to life on a chnrge she ran over her husband In their garage. It upheld the death sentences ol Wayne Long and Frank O. Payne. A majority of the cases decided by the Supreme Court are run of the mill damage or divorce suits. In most of these cases, the court merely acts as a referee, basing Its decisions on established prin ciples or prior decisions. But in some of them, new prin ciples are set forth. And in this respect, the court had a busy year, In other Important cases, the court also held: Counties must levy the $10 per child annual school tax witnout offsetting the amount against for est reserve rentals. The 1948 tax cut on timber is constitutional. The City of Estacada can't an nex the Portland General Electrio Company generating plant just to increase the city's valuation Dy $708,000. Eugene's 3 per cent tax on thea ter and amusement admissions is unconstitutional because the city's charter doesn't provide for such a tax. A man who sells his business and agrees to stay out of that business must abide by bis agree ment. The 1909 law outlawing nign school fraternities and sororities Is constitutional. When a man testifies at a grand Jury, that testimony can't be used against him at his court trial. Above- Evidently this has been his prin cipal equipment ever since. I have read that long use of one eye prin cipally at this instrument has so developed it that it is noticeably larger than the other. It was stated at the time he received his degree that he had made 70,000 observa tions of -variable stars. One of the Peltier comets his No. 3 was visible to the naked eye for a few weeks in the sum mer of 1936 and received consid erable publicity. While searching the sky, he had sighted an unfa miliar object In the constellation Cepheus. He suspected it was a comet and telegraphed Harvard and Yerkes observatories for con firmation. With their powerful tele scopes the object was located at once and its cometary nature eas ily verified. "Yes, he has done It again." This was the remark of Dr. Shap lcy, Harvard astronomer, when he determined the object was a com et. But Peltier did not stop there. He has done it again and again many times. The term "amateur astronomer" does not necessarily denote lack of skill. "Amateur" carries the same significance as it does in athletics. It simply means the individual concerned uses as tronomy as a hobby and not as a means of a living. At this writing no predictions for the future behavior of the latest Peltier's comet are at hand.

It isn't always easy to Identify polio early and yet this Is one of the most Important tilings to do If treatment is to be as effec tive as present methods permit. One reason for this Is that the early signs of polio are almost exactly the same as those of many other acute Infectious or virus dis eases. Actually It U slated, probably correctly, that when the nervous signs of polio become evident, the disease has already existed for several days. Furthermore, no two patients with the disease show exactly the same symptoms. As a result, even when a definite diagnosis has been made, skilled judgment and ex perience are necessary In order to choose thoso methods of treatment best suited to that particular pa tient.

There are few diseases In which good nursing and physical therapy are as Important In .get ting good results as In polio. The muscular paralysis which comes on alter the first few days of the disease is accompanied by painful muscle spasms. These ean be greatly relieved by hot wet packs, properly applied,' and by nursing care. The skin tenderness which Is so common Is also helped by such treatments. At the time when the disease Is acute every effort has to be niado to keep the muscles In tho best possible condition so that they will respond to the later treat ments and training.

Much of this has been made possible by the funds made available to them through the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, to which so many generous-hearted cltlaens throughout the country havo contributed.
