This spring both Senator Taft
and General Eisenhower declared
their bellel that sharp economies
were possible in the nation's de
fense establishment. 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.

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

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.

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.

Wilbur.
P.S. I hate to bring up money
again but send me some more.
I had to buy a round of soft drinks

on ground oi desertion.
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 Harvard observatory an
nouncement card, dated June 23,
1952, states that "A telegram from
Leslie Peltier of Delphos, Ohio, re
ported his discovery ol a new com
et." 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. "
Our amateur astronomer has
done a great deal of his telescopic
work in nis tamers cornncia. tie-
cause of his earlier work, a 6-Inch
refracting telescope was loaned
him by Princeton University in
1924 for work on variable stars.

thought could provide the best
home. But In the past year, there
were several cuses in which a new
doctrine is well established. 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

Company generating plant just to

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.

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. It should be said also that good
care by the physician Is not the
only Important aspect ol treat-

ment. 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. Bed rent is,
needless to say, Important as are
the other measures like plenty of
fluids, which are used for any In
fectious disease
Many hospitals are now well
equipped to handle patients
with polio. 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.
Thanks to this every victim of
polio who needs hospital or other
care for polio need not lack It
because of financial reasons,
Medical science - Is constantly
searching for new methods of
treatment. Several drugs are used
with moderate success. Although a
sure cure for all victims of the
disease has not been discovered,
proper treatment given early
enough osncs pain and lessens tho
chances of crippling complications.
