If you've got a Job that needs
doing and can't find the right sort
of fellow to do it you might do
worse than call Johnny Hobson up
at On. He's got a lot of guys
up there on the hill that are more
or less specialists in various fields
and who are willing to do almost
anything from yard work to wash
ing dishes. They need some out
side work In order to remain in
school.
You can also either call or drop
in at the employment office down
on the corner of Third and Main.
They, too, have a long list. Their
number is 7701. For the OTI's call
2-3466 and aslc for extension 54.
Whisky drinkers failed to live up
to last year's record in Oregon and
drank less booze than usual. But
the consumption of table wines in
the state was up by twenty-two per
cent. Looks like the public is finally
getting over the scare the wine
Industry threw into 'em twenty
years ago. Used to be that unless
you could, supposedly, recognize
thirty brands by taste, explain
bouquet and pronounce the name
correctly as well aa spot the wine
areas of Europe and Spain you
just weren't supposed to have any
thing to do with wine as such.
Now, finally, the industry has
gotten around to an intelligent pro
gram of advertising which admits
that if you like burgundy with
chicken it's perfectly correct to go
ahead and guzzle it.
Wonder why it is that motorists
are pretty good about observing
pedestrian lanes all summer when
the pavements are dry and safe,
but come winter and frost and icy
streets they charge at the lane like
a bull at a waving flag? Human
nature is a peculiar thing.
The good old Klamath Basin has
sure got it over the rest of the
state when it comes to weather.
Saw Mahr Reymars the other day.
He'd just come over from Ashland
for the holidays and he said it was
so foggy over there you couldn't
hardly drive. "Been too warm ever
since I got over here and into this
sunshine," he said.
Friends from Portland report
that it alternates between rain and
a low overhang that is considered
clear weather for December.
Tell you, friend, you Just can't
beat our country.
ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
By KEN McLEOD
In our last column we raised
the Interesting point of speculation
that is apparently a matter of
grave concern to a number of pub
lic thinkers who are looking under
the bed tot the old Boogey Man
created by Malthus 1198. Man
would multiply to such an extent
that he would exceed his food sup
ply. The great work of Malthus
the title of which is. "An Essay
on the Principle of Population as
It affects the Future Improvement
of Society with Remarks on the
Speculations of Mr. Godwin, M.
Condorcet, and other, writers," has
probably, with the exception of
Darwin's "Descent of Man," been
one of the most cussed and dis
cussed theories to come down to
us from the philosophical writers
of that century.
The theory of Malthus like the
theory of Darwin has probably
been as greatly distorted by those
who have axes to grind and do
not care to think as deeply upon
the abstract subjects as their au
thors did. Malthus's "Essay on
Population'' grew out of some dis
cussions which he had with his
father respecting the perfectibility
of society. His father shared the
theories on that subject of Cor
dorcet and Oodwln. Malthus corn
batted these theories on the ground
that the realization of a happy
society will always be hindered by
the miseries consequent on the
tendency of population to Increase
faster that the means of subsis
tence. His father was struck by
the weight and originality of his
views, asked him to put them in
writing, and then recommended
the publication of the manuscript.
The view point of Malthus was
a reaction to an equally radical
theory being presented by other
philosophers of his day. Godwin,
(or example, was a radical think
er who went to London In 1782
WlthA'he aim regenerating society
with , lis pen and his theory that
cuch regeneration could only be ob
tained by the complete overthrow
of all existing institutions, politi
cal, social and religious. Godwin's
great work on political science was
titled. "The Inquiry concerning Po
litical Justice, and its Influence
on General Virtue and Happiness."
Godwin, by present day standards,
would be considered a communist
of the deepest dye though he was
Koing to remake the world of his
day by discussion.
Oodwin believed that "monarchy
was a species, of government un
avoidably corrupt" and from de
airing a government of the sim
plest construction, he. gradunlly
came to consider that "govern
ment by its very nature counter
acts the Improvement of original
mind." Thus Godwin and his fellow
thinkers lay all blame to the plight
of man upon government as being
the source of man's miserable
plight and the sordid state of
affairs that prevented the people
from being happy, contented and
free of vice.
Malthus reasoned that the plight
of man was not the blame of gov
ernment but due to the lack of
food, given ample supplies of food,
man would be happy and content
but man was always multiplying
faster than his food supply so was
by this very fact cast Into the
sordid condition which he found
himself in discontent and unhapp
piness. This is a theory that Is a
far cry from the way the Malthus
lan doctrine was eventually twist
ed to the point that man would
increase beyond the capacity of
his food supply and when we
reach that sorry state of affairs
we all will starve to death. It is
indeed interesting to see how purely
philosophical discussions have
been twisted to suit the purposes
of Individuals attempting to pro
mote their particular philosophy or
control over man.
In case of Malthus, his discus
sion became of immediate favor
by the landed classes in England
because the theory was siezed
upon by the higher ranks of soc
iety as evidence that relieved the
rich and powerful of responsibility
for the condition of the working
classes, by showing that the latter
had chiefly themselves to blame,
and their plight was not due to
either the negligence of their su
periors or the institutions of the
country that were being under at
tack by Godwin and his fellow
think ers.
The application of the Malth
slan doctrine made by some of
his successors had the effect of
discouraging all active effort for
social Improvement. Any scheme
for the Improvement of the lot of
the working people was met by
the argument that an Increase of
comfort would only lead to an In
crease In numbers, and so the
lust state of things would only be
worse than the first.
Then there came the Darwin
ian, hypothesis of the "struggle
for existence" which caused other
people with axes to grind in the
field of social competition to use
Darwin's theory as a confirmation
of their distorted version of the
theory of Malthus. Dorwln be
lieved that man advanced to his
present high condition through the
struggle for existence, consequen
tly this resulted In man's rapid
rate of multiplication. However.
Darwin recognized that- this
"struggle for existence" was large
ly superseded by moral Influences
in tile more advanced stages of
human society.
The battle of theories still goes
on today and we have modern
thinkers worrying about the time
when we will reach the end of
our supply of food and starve.

NEW YORK Wl A rash of lay.
offs In Industry this week pinpoints
today a controversial presidential
prescription.
Eisenhower Is ordering a double
allot in the arm more defense con
tracts and more rnpid tax write
offs for defense plants in areas
where the unemployment disease
seems most chronic. Other locali
ties are criticizing the plan.
How serious is the layoff trend
nationally?
To date the problem has tended
to be local or to affect only a few
Industries.
Where the layoffs occur, the
problem Is plenty serious. But so
far, on the national scene, they
scarcely show in over-all figures
of employment.
One reason the layoff trend
doesn't show In the statistics is
that when Jobs got less easy to
find, the labor force tends to
shrink.
Women, older workers and
youths may Just atop looking for

Layoffs fall into three ia,,n
serious type; the seasonal or ex
pected; and those traced to acts
of God, such as the weather.
A drop in orders as business
slows down from the boom has
caused most of the long-term un
employment. The order slump may
be from cancelled government
contracts, from inventory cutting
by business firms, or from slack
ening consumer buying. Here arc
some recent examples:
Loss of government orders for
tanks is given as the cause for the
dropping of about half of its pro

GUEST EDITORIAL
By SAM COON
This Is a final report to you on
my overseas trip to investigate the
State Deportment building pro
gram and the Voice of America.
I have now been given permis
sion by the chairman of the Ap
propriations committee to tell you
the main conclusions we drew from
our inspection:
As a result of our study, we be
lieve the Treasury will be saved
upwards of ten million dollars in
the next year or so, through the
elimination of waste, and the dis
posal of excess property. In future
years more money will be saved
through reduced maintenance
costs.
We found the Voice of America
doing a needed job, but with much
room for further improvement.
Among the State Department em
ployes we met, we found a gen
erally high quality of people try
ing to do a good-Job. We did find
some misfits, however, and some
dead wood that could be removed
with benefit.
Our trip was the first Inspection
that has been made since the war
of U.S. buildings abroad. We found
some examples of waste and mis
management in past years that
were shocking and ridiculous. We
also found some highly commen
dable examples of good manage
ment. In a few places we discov
ered that facilities are not adequate
to meet the need, and we favor
expenditures there for further con
struction. Here are some examples of
waste;
In Marseilles, Prance, we dis
covered that several years ago a
site for an official building was
purchased in the heart of the red
light district. The State Department
people there now told us that much
better sites are available, and we
recommended that a better site be
used.
At Bonn in Germany we found
that living quarters for American
employes are as flush as a country
club, with lavish furniture and
trimmings. They are far beyond the
needs of the people living there.
The living quarters in other parts
of Germany are more In. line with
American needs.
In Paris we found a huge ware
house, costing a large sum to
rent, half-filled with unused furni
ture for embassies, we found glass
ware there that had been In stor
age five years. We uncovered a
light fixture Inventoried at $850.
which had been there 3'i years.
We suggested that they get rid of
most of this at the best price they
could get,
At Nice in France the U.S. owns
a fine house with large formal
gardens. The house has not been
occupied for five years, but we
have been paying a gardener $2400
a year to. keep the gardens in
shape. Our verdict on that was
"Use It or sell It."
One of the best managers we
met was a State Department em
ploye by the name of Lee Riordan,
who is stationed in Hong Kong. He
is doing an excellent job. He has
put two families instead of one in
the huge old mansions that must
be used for quarters there, thus
cutting the rent in half. He has
also built an office building for
about as low a cost as it could be
done anywhere in the world. In
Athens we were especially Im
pressed with the job the ambas
sador and his staff are doing, and
we found a good attitude and ef
fective operations on the part of
many other ambassadors and dip
lomats at other posts.
. In some places we found that
facilities are not good enough to
take care of the people there. In
Manila we found our American em
ployes living in quonset huts and
felt that they deserve better. In
Karachi, Pakistan, we found the
U.S. embassy located in a garage
building, and concluded that a new
structure is needed. On Wake
Island, where many buildings were
blown down by a typhoon about a
year ago, we felt that additional ap
propriations are needed to com
plete the repair work.
We were able to got a general Im
pression of what has been accom
plished by foreign aid. I would
say that American aid mostly has
accomplished good, although some
countries resent it. With many
countries back on their feet now,
Ihe biggest part of the need for
foreign aid appears to be coming
to an end. Recently I hod a report
from Harold Stasscn, who is di
rector of the Foreign Operations
Administration. He said in this re
port that It appears to him that
with a few exceptions economic
aid to Europe can be ended next
year.
Our Inspection is now over, and
we have returned to Washington for
hearings by our committee during
December. I have tried to make
these reports to you because I be
lieve the people of Eastern Ore
gon are entitled to know about the
things I have learned on this trip.
Since I saw you last, I have
traveled over three continents 1
never saw before and never ex
pected to see. It is the farthest this
Eastern Oregon cowboy ever
strayed off his range, a trip of
great Interest and a real educa
tion. I believe the first hand know
ledge I have-gained of the world
and its people will be of use to
me next year In considering ques
tions that come before Congress.
Best regards and good luck to all
of you for the coming year.

Polish Teen-Agers Nabbed

VIENNA, Austria (Pi Hundreds
of teen-agers have been arrested
in Poland in recent weeks in a
drive to put down acts of hooligan
ism by roving gangs of young
rowdies threatening Communist

Polish newspnpers reaching here
report almost daily raids by po

towns. Young rowdies are rounded
up and sent to labor camps.
Western diplomats in Vienna see
the rowdyism as, an expression of
restlessness of Polish youth with
Communist restrictions and only
indirectly as a form of anticom

Firemen said th bl sprang
The full, rounded picture of Pres
ident Eisenhower's prospective
oeiense spenamg program ims nc.
yet been presented. But some of
Us salient leatures have been un
officially reported, and tluy form
a basis for some preliminary judg
ments. Evidently the President Intends to
slash the defense budget for fiscal
1955 starting next July by per
haps $4 billion. In addition there
will be cuts in related foreign aid
programs. Further reductions are
planned for the two following years
These, cuts will have to be ac
complished despite increased out'
lays for the Air Force and our
domestic atomic defense. That
means that the heavy burden of
reduction will fall upon the Army
and Navy.
Some savings undoubtedly will
be possible through elimination of
unnecessary jobs and other man
agerial efliciencies. But the mil
itary experts realize such econ
omies will not be sufficient to
achieve the administrations's ob
jective.
Consequently, plans reportedly
will call for an IB per cent reduc
tion this coming year In the
Army's uniformed manpower. An
the projected slash in naval funds
may force the Navy to decom
mission about 10 per cent of the
active fleet.
The Army is said to feel that
if it cannot absorb this cut with
out taking two of its 30 divisions
out of service
Impartial military observers ar
gue, with apparent good reason,
that cuts deep enough to compel
shelving this much of the active
armed force cannot be defended
on the ground of "more defense
for less money," or even equal de
fense. The Eisenhower administra
tion seems plainly to be planning
less defense.
That does not mean, however,
that the proposed cuts cannot be
defended at all. Out of the dis
cussions among the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, key administration de
fense and fiscal officials and the
President himself has emerged the
evident conviction that the coun
try can do with less defense in
the years immediately ahead.
This conviction reflects a grow
ing notion that Russia does not
want a general war and in the
fullest sense is not prepared for
one. It reflects also the belief that
a United States saddled too long
with crushing defense and foreign
aid burdens will be no great help
to the free world in a crisis.
Since we of course cannot really
know the minds of the men in
the Kremlin, this new policy is a
calculated risk taken in an always
perilous time. But sober Ameri
cans charged with safeguarding
their country, and they Include a
President with a lifetime of Im
portant military service, believes
the risk can be taken.
When the time comes next month
for the President to make his case
for a smaller defense program, he
should present it In these hard,
realistic terms. Any attempt by
him or his cabinet officers to offer
it with the sugar-coating of "more
defense for less' would be a dis
service to the American people.

To Investigative Powe
Of McCarthy, Committ
r
By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON
WASHINGTON W Sen. Gillette
(D-Iowal said today he will ask
the Senate to curb broad Investi
gative powers in the field of Inter
national relations now held by the
committee headed by Sen. Mc
Carthy (R-Wis).
"This Is a glaring situation."
Gillette said In an Interview. "It
Is something that was never In
tended and I will ask the Senate
to pass on it at the coming session."
McCarthy Is chairman of the
Government Operations Committee
and of its more widely known
Permanent Investigations subcom
mittee. Gillette said he wants the Senate
to rescind authority for the Gov
ernment Operations Committee to
Investigate international affairs
and give this solely to the Foreign
Relations Committee, of which Gil
lette Is a member.
Although he has tangled with
McCarthy in the past, Gillette made
no mention of the Wisconsin sen
ator in explaining why he sought
the change.
"International relationships are
delicate now and will be for an
unforeseen time." Gillette said.
"The Senate has given its Foreign
Relations Committee authority in
this field.
"We all know that careless ac
tions or statements in this field
cun jeopardize our International
status."

there was "no deal" In connection
with his appointment ..of Impcllit

ner said he promised the job to

But observers have pointed out
Impellitteri's last-minute appoint
ments of two men who opposed
him in last fall's political
campaign. He gave a $15.00-a-year
lifetime Job as water supply com
missioner to Herbert M. Rosenberg

is a strong backer of Tammany
Hall leader Carine G. De Sapio.
who opposed Impellltteri. And a
Domestic Relations judgeship went
to Wilfred A. Waltemade, assistant
Bronx County district attorney.
Wagner's assertion that the
Board of Estimate urged him to
give Impellltteri a job had the
backing of City Council President
Rudolph Halley, who ran for mayor
on the Liberal party ticket.
Halley said yesterday that Im
pellltteri' "has served the city to
the best of his ability" and
"deserves the opportunity to com
plete his city service and get his
full pension."
Two more years in city service
will entitle Impellltteri to an
annual $20,000 pension.
The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
The American Diabetes Society,
which has for several years con
ducted annual diabetes detection
drives, will this year emphasize
diabetes in children.
The principal aspect of the cam
paign is to find those youngsters
who have diabetes and do not
knoV it, and to bring them under
control which will permit them io
live normal lives. Although dia
betes Is not as common among
children as adults, when It does
occur it is likely to be fatal un
less brought under early control.
During November many com
munities conducted mass testing
programs for the examination for
diabetes of pupils In school. I do
not yet know the results, but it
probably Is safe of say that a
considerable number of young
sters were found with diabetes.
This Is all to the good since
there is no need for panic, but
rather with the dietary informa
tion and availability of insulin, a
diabetic youngster can usually be
managed so that he or she can
live normally and avoid the risks
which are present If the disease
has gone undetected.
The main purpose of treatment
is to make sure sugar is properly
used and that none of It escapes
Into the urine. Sometimes this
can be done by dieting alone, but
if insulin Is needed the amount
and the time of giving it have to
be carefully worked out. Too much
Insulin or insulin at the wrong
time can produce undesirable re
actions. What causes diabetes Is not
known. Heredity Is on important
factor, and certainly diabetes
seems to run in some families.
Youngsters coming from families
having diabetes should be care
fully watched.
Much difficulty come from fall
ure to follow directions exactly.
Patients, old as well as young,
often seem to think that they know
more than the doctor; sometimes
the temptation to eat the wrong
foods is Just too great. Careless
ness is dangerous because there
are many serious complications.

However, McCarran in an inter

Army To Try Experiment
With Draftees And The
Reserve Program Setup
By ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON W) Draftees who
get out of the Army in the next
six months In six selected states
will have time clipped off their ob
ligatory reserve status because the
Army wants to try an administra
tive experiment.
Beginning tomorrow and extend
ing through the first half of 1954,
each drrftee hi six states who has
completeu two years of active duty
will be handed a mobilization as
signment to an active Army, a Na
tional Guard of a reserve organi
zation. If another war comes during the
next five years he will report im
mediately to his -assigned unit. If
it doesn't come, the draftee doesn't
have to do anything, although the
Army hopes he will join an or
ganized reserve unit or the Nation
al Guard and take regular train
ing, including summer training.
But whether he joins an organ
ized unit or doesn't, a draftee liv
ing in New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin or
Washington will have one year cut
off the six-year obligatory active
reserve status required under the
draft act.
That doesn't apply to draftees
in the other 42 states and the terri
tories. The six states were picked
by the commanders of the nation's
six Army areas, each of which in
cludes several military districts or
states.
What the Army wants to find out,
primarily, is how the experimen
tal system would work nationwide.
Essentially, it is an exercise in
Clear Skies
Order Of Day
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The New Year's brand of com
paratively mild winter weather
appeared in prospect for most of
the nation again today.
Clear skies prevailed over the
southern two-thirds of the nation
from coast to coast. There were
a few northern spots reporting
light falls of snow. The only chilly
spot was northern New England
where temperatures early today
were below zero. It was -7 in
Caribou.
Snow flurries fell In the northern
Rockies and along the northern
tier of states touching the Canadian
border from Montana to New
England. Another wet area was
in the Pacific Northwest, which
reported light rain.
Temperatures generally showed
little change from New Year's Day.
There was a little cooling in the
northern .Great Plains and some
warming along the Gulf Coast.
