Navy Chief
Speaks For
Readiness
' NEWPORT, R.I. "Wl Adm.
Robert B. Carney said Tuesday
the United States must be ready
regardless of whether another war
Is fought with nuclear Bombs or
bamboo spears.
: "I cannot, nor can anyone else,
forecast the blueprint ior an ulti
mate showdown of the nations now
In Ideological conflict," said Car
ney, the Navy's top officer and
' member of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, m, an address for the Naval
War College,'.
He voiced certainty of only one
' thing the expanding military
strength of Russia, including what
' emergence of - the Soviet Union
'as iho second strongest naval
power in terms of the number of
ships in commission, second only
to the United States"
As some, other officials of the
Navy and Army have done, Car
ney noted a possibility that anoth
er war could be without use, of
i atnmlc weapons.- He said:
" "What sort ol war do we have in
mind? If we are honest with our
selves, we will acknowledge that
there , are big wars, little wars;
' atomic wars and perhaps non
:, atomic wars. What can we ex
.. pest?. . . '.
.ti "If the answer ls'aloms!" that
- 1r one thingr Were the criterion
. to be 'no atoms!' we are militarily
' right back where we started, . ,
; "It Is entirely conceivable that
We1 might see a. limited use of
; atomic weapons. We might see,
and probably will see, a contlnua
, tion of the so-called brush fires.
Or we might see, as has so far
. been fthe case with chemical bac
teriological warfare, a nuclear
stalemate with both sides refrain
Ins for fear of retaliation.
. "Confronted with great uncer
tainty in this respect, 'I see no
alternative but to hedge our stra
tegic bets, ready to rush Into the
future, but also prepared to meet,
. and rely ' on, the methods of the
recent past. , , . ,
"Regardless of how the war Is
fought of one thing; I am certain:
. It will end on the ground, polltlcal-
Iv and economically even If not
by frontal assault. Ouerrlia bands,
armed with bamboo spears,, may
stalk each other across the re-
; malnlng ashes."'

Support Cut
May Lower
Milk Prices
WASHINGTON W A reduo
lion of possibly two cents a quarc
in fluid milk prices may follow
in the wnke of the government's
decision to lower the level . at
which It supports prices of butter,
cheese and dried milk.
A number of dairy state con
gressmen, meanwhile, denounced
the decision. Sen. Humphrey D
Minn) said he would appeal to
Congress to reverse an order by
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
announced Monday, which Benson
estimated would reduce retail but
ter prices by about eight cents a
pound. Others applauded Benson's
move.
Prices paid for -manufacturing
milk that, is, milk used lor mak
ing manufactured dairy products
are closely related to prices dis
tributors pay for miik sold in bot
tles and other containers for home
use.
Latest official reports show; that
in major cities, consumers were
paying an average of 23 cents a
quurt for standard gradfi milk de
livered to homes. Should producer
prices for milk bought for iluid
distribution decline in line with re
duced price supports for manu
facturing milk, the retail price in
these cities should drop two or
three cents a quart and perhaps
as much in smaller cities and
towns.
PARITY
Benson announced Monday" that
the support rates for manufactur
ing milk and bulterfat will be set
at 75 per cent of parity for the
marketing year beglnnini? April 1.
This Is the minimum rate permit
ted. The present rate is 90 per
cent of parity, the legal maxi
mum. Parity is a standard for meas
uring farm prices, declared by law
to be fair to farmers in relation
to prices they pay.
ten. Ellcnder iD-La) said he
"would have been disappointed"
If Benson had taken any other
step. Ellender commented - that
even the cut ordered by Benson
would not move butter in the mar
ket competitively. .
On the other hand,. Llewellyn
Watts Jr., president of the New
York Mercantile Exchange, fore
cast a "tremendous upsurge In
butter purchasing by consumers"
and added, "The government may
soon be out of the butter busi
ness."

at by the authorities. As I see it,
a slot, machine in a socially correct

I may be obtuse, but I can see

I'd say that in principle one was
no more reprehensible than the
other. '.
I'd like lo add, on personal knowl
edge, that these men hi the city
government of Klamath Fals were
good citizens. They were just as
good citizens as the members of the
correct social organizations that
were using illegal devices to get
money for pleasant social facili
ties for their members and their
guests.
I think the makers of our Ore
gon constitution, when they in
cluded in it a ban on gambling,
would have lumped them all togeth
er and would have said that what
was bad in one place was equally
bad in another place.
The CONSTITUTION of Oregon

What our city council did back
In those days was unwise and un
sound. You can't touch pitch with
out being defiled. You can't break
the law without becoming a law
breaker. But, considering all the cir
cumstances, I think it might be
said to those who criticize the
Klamath Falls "Improvement

sin cast the first stone."
And it might be added: "Judge
not. lest ye be Judged."
