Jess was taking the stand Uiat such a season should not be al lowed. Mostly, I think, from the standpoint that to a Hart Moun taineer there is something sacred about the area. Not even the Robin Hood lads should be allowed to hunt there. As this Is written the game com mission has not handed down a de cision on the proposal. It may come later in the day, or be an nounced next week. Neither here nor there now. But I think we'll have to go along with Jess on the idea. For a num ber of reasons. First I'm a staunch and loyal Order man myself. Over the years (Since 1932) the mem bership has kept the faith on their 7000 foot high aerie, have kept out guns, dogs (and women during the meet i. have defeated a proposal to establish a boy's camp there on the grounds that It was not adapt ed to that type of thing, have 're frained from building up any fancy headquarters there, nave held the fire menace down, and have done all In their power to protect the big herds of anelope that make the mountain their home. I think they should go on and protect the deer In the area, even from the bow and arrow boys. After all, If you CAUGHT In By DEB The date todav (written Friday. July 11, 1952) should get Into the history books along with that other momentous date, July 1, 1932. They'll be remembered as mark ing the turn of epochs away with the old and on to the new. On July 1, 1932 Franklin O. Roo sevelt was nominated by the Dem ocrats over Al Smith. Today, Dwlght D. Eisenhower was nomin ated by the Republicans over Bob Taft. In "32 the country was disillu sioned, mad and lean In the belly; Today the country is disillusioned, Newsmen Get Boston Site PORTLAND UH Boston will be the site of next year's Amer ican Newspaper Guild convention. Delegates to the convention which closed here Friday also selected Los Angeles for the 1954 meeting. Cities asking for future conven tions include: Albany, N.Y., 1955; Scranton, Pa, 1966; San Jose, Calif., 1957; Minneapolls-St, Paul, 1958. Final convention action here in cluded a report by Sam Eubanks, former executive vice-president of the Guild, on a proposed labor daily newspaper. He said there was some doubt as to whether the paper, to be known as the National Reporter, could begin publication in time for this year's presidential campaign. After a bitter floor fight, the con vention voted to require local units to abide by the bargaining pro gram set down by the inter naUonal. FCC Authorizes 18 TV Stations. WASHINGTON M The Federal Communications Commission Fri day authorized 18 new television stations, including two in Spokane and one in Portland.

The Spokane authorizations in cluded ones for KHQ, inc., on VHP Channel 6, and Symons Broadcast ing Co.. which is partly owned by crooner Blng Crosby, on VHF Channel 4.

Secondly. It Is not nn area fitted to the peculiar talents of the bow hunter. The country is too open, not enough chance to sneak up on your quarry, and Uie ranges are too great for effective hunting in this fashion. I'm afraid the loss due to losing wounded deer would run high. And the number of rii4 appointed hunters would be In uie high registers. Thirdly, it Is a reserve with a possibility of even more territory being taken Into the closed-season line. Let's not make any move that would tend to lessen the effective ness of this. We'll stick along with you. Jess, on any such proposals Unit may be pending or thtit may come up. (The big Hart Mountain trek will get started next Friday, by the way.) It was a pretty bright fire out at Elllngson's planing mill the out er night. But not quite bright enough, apparently. I was dash ing about like mad trying to find out who, what, where and when and interviewing everyone I could lay hands on. Spotted one chap who looked like he knew what it was all about so went ud and tapped him on the shoulder. "You work around here, Mac?" I quer ied. "Well, sort of." he replied "I own It." Only then did I recog nize R.P. Elllngson himself. Just snows tnat you never can tell. The ROUNDS ADDISON mad and sick to the stomach. The unsung voter who never gets to the party meetings and who neverHtalks about politics in high falutln terms was hungry for new leadership and a chance to vote for someone fresh and confident and friendly. He got it then, and he has it now. . , . . ,.,. For 20 years the politicing be tween the parties has been on the basis of Hoover versus FDR. That's all over now. Herbert Hoover made h'ls swan song at the Chicago convention and received a great, fitting ovation. Then a completely new man was nominated for President. FDR and the New Deal are gone, though there will be Roose velUan Democrats as long as there are Jeffersonian Democrats. The Democrats will nominate one, but the reason-for-being of the New Deal is gone too. The campaign for president will be between the New and the Old. America can look to the future again, with a quickening pulse. If there is a cleavage and bitter ness in Republican ranks It's among the professionals back in Chicago. The Republican who la a party man to the extent of his registra tion at the courthouse and to the extent of his fundamental convic tions is satisfied. He can vote for his man in November with the con viction of enthusiasm and hope. The person whose political out look, regardless of "denomination," is based on a revulsion against the excesses, the corruption and, the irresponsiblity of recent years he too can vote for a new leader with enthusiasm and hope for the future.

Again on the matter of the St. Lawrence Sea way, congressional delays have bad the effect of avoiding decision. Unfortunately for Congress, this is an internailon issue involving Canada as well as Uie United States. And Canada, tired of walt uig for this country to make up its mind, has decided to build the seaway alone. The seaway admittedly is one of the thorniest issues ever to hit Congress. It has been kicking around Capitol Hill for decades and lately has been coming up for legislative consideration every year on the year. This is not the place to delve Into the pros and cons of the ques-tion-the.se have been argued long and lustily. The important point for Ameri can Interests is that by not taking clear action one way or the other, the Congress has passed the ball to the Canadians, who now have the initiative. By contrast with their simple de termination to go ahead 'with the project, our lawmakers' continual backing and filling over the sea way makes tbem look weak and vacillating. Oh. .$. It may seem to many people that little progress has been made by research workers In their at tempts to conquer the dread dis ease, polio. This,, however. Is not the case, and much information is becom ing available which is opening new doors and which may eventually lead to more satisfactory methods of preventing this disease, and of treating it. A summary of a few of the de velopments of recent years gives great hope for this brighter fu ture, even though Just how gome of these facts can be used In a practical way is not yet entirely clear. For example, it is now realized that when i a severe case of polio has been correctly diagnosed, It Is already late in the course of the disease. It Is also realized that the virus which causes polio does not neces sarily attack the nervous system and cause paralysis, and that in fact, many have the disease with out ever having any nervous or muscular symptoms. Obviously, this may eventually lead to some Important changes In treatment. or prevention. really nothing wrong with me but "convention ills gastritis," com plicated by a mild neurosis Ui ducted bv mv attempt to under stand the Republican program for iwi.

They Imagined they couia enjoy indefinitely uie luxury or indecision. The rude shock is now upon them. i Reports from Canada'have It that seaway will pay for Itself. This la the tesUmony of experts. Furthermore, there are indica tions that when it goes into opera tion American shippers and ves sels may find themselves footing more ui uie oui man mey expect. This might be accomplished by charging low tolls on products like wbeat, which the Canadians ship in volume, and nigner tolls on mo tor cars and other manufactured goods produced in America. So while seaway bills gather dust on congressional shelves. Canadian dredges and bulldozers will swing uhu acnun ana mase ine contro versy on this side of the border largely academic. Congress Is supposed to be the greatest national legislature In the world. But on this Issue at least It looks as if they were vastly over rating themselves and underesti mating the will and the enterpris ing spirit of our Canadian neigh bors. And in that mlealiilalln 'American lawmaker's appear rath er joousn, QoAdan Another important' research de velopment lies In (he recent dis covery that the virus can be grown In a tissue-culture test tube, and that much work can be done with the, virus in the manner which formerly could be performed only by using monkeys as experimental animals. This will make easier and less expensive many studies which may have an Important bearing on the disease. One thing which Is badlv needed Is a test which will make It pos sible to diagnose polio early and in thoso patients who do not have any nervous symptoms as well as in those who do. For at least 35 years research workers have been trying to de velop such a test, and even though this has not vet come, their effort will surely be crowned with suc cess sometime. When a test Is perfected, it will permit many other forward steps to be taken. For many years It has been thought by close observers of polio that excessive physical exertion, fatigue, or some other form of stress might exert an unfavorable action on the disease. In one report, 411 patients with polio from three epidemics were studied with regard to the amount of physical activity which they performed around the time when their Illness began. Study of the results suggested that physical activity done before the disease had actually begun did not seem to have much effect on the severity of the paralysis. However, when physical activ ity was carried out after the signs of Illness had appeared, even be fore they had become serious, there did seem to be a definite Increase in the numbers of those who developed paralysis, and In the severity of such paralysis. Consequently, It would seem wise In the presence of polio In the community to put every youngster with minor symptoms to bed for a short time until one Is sure that the disease is not polio.

Rldgway took over on June 1 as supreme Allied commander in Europe he did not have to start from scratch as Gen. Elsenhower did IS months ago. The core of the defensive ring In western Europe has been forged though much work still re mains to be done. As new commander at Shape, Oen. Rldgway Is responsible for the defense of more than a million square miles, extending from Uie northern tip of Norwav to Uie southern border of Turkey In Asia Minor, This vast area has been divided Into three subordinate military commands. These sectors with their commanders are: Northern Europe, Adm. Sir Pat rick Brind, with headquarters at Oslo. Central Europe. Oen. Alnhonte Juln, with headquarters at Fon- tatnebleau, 30 miles outside Paris. Southern Europe. Adm Robert Carney, with headquarters- at Naples. Oen. Rldgway took over It well- equipped divisions, plus a dozen others less well equipped and trained. Bv the end of 1952. the NATO member governments have pledged to Increase that force to 50 divisions and 4.000 operational aircraft. Twenty-five of the divi sions are to be active, the rest composed of reserves. The accompanying map shows Ed. Note: The following Is the flrat of a five-part aeries on Dwlght D.

Ike's ancestors, down to hla par ents, David Jacob Eisenhower and Ida Elizabeth Stover Elsenhower, were Mennonltes, belonging to an off-shoot sect called Brethern in Christ. They were highly moral, almost puritanical, and militant pacifists. Before she died in 1946, Ida El senhower extended her pacificism by Joining the Jehovah's Witnesses and becoming a conscientious ob jector, . , Frequently In his career on and off the battlefield, Ike has said he hates war, But so far as Is known, he never explained his choice of profession In the face of hla mother's teachings According to Biographer John Uurfther.
