Ever since the days of the Infamous "Ship wreck" people have ?en wastin? their time and enert ; to see: who could squat on top of a pole the longest.

Vet at the same time signs exist that he will attempt to go well beyond that to a more realistic plan of International economic develop ment. ' Like the Marshall Plan, the Point Four idea was an original notion marked by high purpose. -It goes beyond the mere doling out of fi nancial help, to the granting in stead of equipment and technical guidance that, will aid backward . lands to get their own economies on a higher self-sustaining basis. Spelled out this has meant send ing agricultural experts into India ; to teach Indian farmers how to Improve their crop yields, bow to care for their soil, how to use new seed and animal feed and better farm machinery. It has meant sending health and sanita tion specialists into many places to try to create healthful condi tions of living and working. This ald.a especially as It affects food production in India and else where, has proved its worth. No one who looks carefully at the present and prospective future ben efits will question Point Four's val- , ue. What can be put in question is how much of the development load Point Four can carry. In promot ing and defending the program, the Truman administration has seemed to say that Point Four is i HUGH When the twilight colors have faded entirely from the west and the earth's shadow has darkened the highest reaches of our atmos phere, the stars sometimes appear in such profusion "in the infinite meadows of heaven" that one can easily believe there are millions of them even that they ere count less. To know that the visible stars can be counted and that their number is surprisingly low. need not de tract In the least from their gran deur. The Grecian Hipparchus about 150 B.C. introduced the pre sent system of classifying all the stars In sir magnitudes of bright ness, i ne origntest 20 were rated as first magnitude. About 60. Including most of those in the Big Dipper, were of the second magnitude; around 180 that were still aimmer were of the third. There were roughly three times as many in each magnitude as In the one im- mediately brighter. Finally, the sixth took In the dimmest that unusually keen eyes can detect on an extremely clear, moonless night and far from artificial Illumina tion. Most of us see very few sixth magnitude stars. These stars have all been charted and thtir number is quite accurate ly known. About 4000 stars in the entire sky are thus available to average eyes, but as half of tnese are below the horizon, only 2000 are left In view. This seems disap pointingly low to the one who has always considered the stars num berless. But watt a moment. After telescopes came into use, over 300 years ago, the starry population increased unbelievably, and fainter . magnitudes were added, (Each standard magnitude is 3'a times fainter than the one oeiow it in number.) A good field glass will show over 100.000 stars and to a falntness of 10th magni tude; a four-inch telescopic lens, one million stars, and through the 12th magnitude; the new 200-Inch, considerably over one billion and through the 22.5 magnitude. Koa bonabls calculations indicate that all the stars in our grlazv. or star system, both seen and unseen, number around 100 billion. HOTELS OSBURN HOLLAND IUGENC, OR!

But there is strong reason to be lieve this is not tne case at au. Bringing these lands out of the economic-morass is not jusi a mat ter of making their peoples health ier, boosting food output and teach, ine them some industrial tricks. They eventually will need substan tia increases in industrial plant and equipment If they are ever to satisiy many of meir basic neeas and thus raise their over-all living standards. - Government grants could help to acnieve wis goal, out we are try ing earnestly to get away front this sort of program. Experience with the Marshall Plan has shown that government grants are no econonv lc cure-all. The most hopeful solution lies in greater private American invest ment in these foreign lands. Amer ican capital is eager to find out let were; ousincsimen nere ssn only that a "favorable climate" be created. By that they mean that the underdeveloped nations should assure America its Invest ments will be adequately protect ed against unwarranted seizure, ex cessive taxation,- and similar ex ploitation. Our government, throunh Its Pres ident and its State Department, can do much to encourage the con ditions abroad that will lead to such investment. It Is in this direc tion that Eisenhower may move to produce a more effective build up of the economic substance of tne oaexward countries. PRUETT About 30 yearS ago It was learned that certain long-known hazy patches in the sky were other galaxies of stars at tremen dous distances beyond, our own. The spectroscope showed their light was not nebulous luminosity but true star light. These so-called "Island universes" are each likely as populous In stars as our own galaxy. Dr. Hubble of Mt. Wilson has estimated there are hundreds of millions of these patches within the grasp of our present telescopes. We may then reason that the total number of stars in regions Investi gated is billions of billions. What lies beyond our ken? We can only conjecture. The unknown Is surely more vast by far than the known. Surely It seems literally true that the stars are "as num berless as the sands of the sea shore."

Delaware Street In Independence, Truman is getting ready to -Have off'.ce convinced that a strong America, co-operating wilh strons and healthy partner nations, can maintain peace wUh HusFia. He believes his decision to send American troops into Korea under a United Nations mandate may have saved the world iom another global war. That step, he told jne. was the toughest decision he ever had to j make, tougher even than the one to drop atomic bombs on Japa nese cities in ls15 occau'c it in volved the ri.k of a third world war. I talked wilh the President in ,nls 0val Room 0(ice at the White House yesterday. It was one ot a series of personal interviews he la trantini separately to a small group of reporters that have cov ered him daily throughout his oc cupancy of the White House. Truman is proud of his record on foreign affairs and feels that, when the history of his adminis tration is written by future re searchers. It will be noted for havine kept tha .world out of war for nearly eight long, crisis-ridden years. He is planning, a nation-wide broadcast sometime In- January summing up 'what he considers the achievements of his adminis tration and charting the course he thinks the nation will follow. It would be an elaboration on his State of the Union message to Congress, to be delivered early in the session opening Jan. 3. He is proud of the Greek-Turkish aid program, the Marshal Plan and the succeeding steps under taken bv this government to strengthen the economic and mil itary po.eoila ot communist threatened nations. These were bold steps, he said. but the decision to enter South Korea when the North Korean Reds invaded 1'.. in his view, was the "toughest'' of all. When ne ordered the bombing of Japan. Truman said, he was told it would shorten the war and save the lives of possibly 250.000 Americans and a; many Japanese. In that case, there was no ques tion of the course to take, he said. In Korea, he said, the whole life of the United Nations wan in volved. It was a question of acting at the possible risk of a third world war. He said he is convinced that the decision was a right one, and that It baited communism in Its efforts to engulf the whole world. And he believes it gave hope to free men everywhere that it they band together tncy can never be con quered, he added. Tne President painted to the big world globe given him In 1M5 bv Oen. Dwight Elsenhower, who will become President Jan. 20. 'During theie eight years," Tru man said, "we've kept that old globe out or disaster." And at home, ne continued, "we've got an economic situation I without equal in the history of the I world" with a production rate of i 344 billion dollars, a national in-1 come of 290 billion dollars and with ! 63 million persons employed. Truman now regards the defeat of the Democratic party In No- j vember as Just one round of a battle over principles that will be ; carried Into future elections. He has already voiced his support of Adiat E. Stevenson's leadership 1 and of Stephen A. Mitchell, Ste- venson's hand - picked Democratic ! national chairman. Truman feels ! although he wouldn't say so in so many words that Stevenson's i defeat for the presidency stemmed 1 primarily from three things: 1. The glamor attached to Re publican candidate Eisenhower by virtue of "a great war record. 2. The practice of what Truman has called "demagoguery" by Ei senhower during the campaign, particularly Elsenhower's an nouncement that he would go to Korea to seek an early and honor able peace. (Men close to Truman say he was incensed by the Im plication in that announcement that Truman wasn't dolne all he could to bring peace In Korea.) 3.

If he had his years In the Whits House lo serve over, he would not change a single ma jor decision. Truman, who always expressed a willingness to talk with Stalin If Stalin would show good faith by comiug to this country, wss asked if he thought the Russlsn leader would be more friendly to the new administration than to his. "I don't know," he said frankly. "I hope so." He once offered to send the bat tleship Missouri to bring Stalin to this country. Truman recalled a Navy Day speech he made In New Vork In 1946 summing up the principles 01 United States foreign policy. He said his whole course has followed along those principles. Truman said he wants to co operate in every possible way with the Republicans in. constructive measures for peace and that he wants to g.ve the Eisenhower ad ministration every chance to op erate, ne pointed out mat gey officials of the Elsenhower admin istration already are working wilh government departments. But he doesn't propose to keep quiet If actions on the domestic iront appear to cut back wnat ne considers the march of progress bv close co-operation of peace able nations, Truman has re peatedly called upon Russia to show a desire for peace by actions ratner man words. A long as Russia refused to co operate for peace, he feels that peace can be maintained only by strength at home and abroad and made by the "New Deal" and "Fair Deal." Truman's biggest dream right now Is the projected Trumsn library at Grand view. Mo., to house his official papers. He hasn't signed up for any Job of work Just yet, he said.
