If ao, we have two choice. We can Bo In FOR BLOOD with air and naval forces. Or We can send ground force Into the Jungle. There la thla diltcrence: When you go In with air end-or naval lorcea. you can pull out at your discretion. When you go In with ground forcea. there are only two ways to get out: 1. Take a bad licking and get nut any way you can to aave what's left. 3. LICK THE ENEMY. The first la unthinkable. As to the aecond, Korea has taught ua that licking the communlxt enemy on Uie ground In Asia la a big Job. Maybe It'a bigger than we can af ford to tackle. Why should we no Into (Southeast Ai at all? Well, there are the Philippines. In an Ill-starred mntneut a half reniury ago. We flirted with Uie Idea of IMPERIALISM. Having whipped Bpain, we took Uio Philip pines and made a colony of litem.

We could any to the llrlllsh: "YOU'RE In Uie wrong. You'd better give Malay and Uie rest of Southeast Asia In which you still havo a toehold back to the Southeast Asians." We could then set ourselves In the Philippines and say to M.L Uie Smiuieaat Asian peoples: "Herein after we shall defend your rlcht to RUN -YOUR OWN AFFAIRS. After all, wo were the first nation in Uie world to throw off the yoke of Imperialism and run OUR own affairs." That might to Inspire Uie peo ple of Southeast Asia Uial Uiey would arise In their might and atop Asian communism In Us present tracks. They're pretty good fight ers when Uiey believe In what Uiey'ro fighting for. This Is Uie point: These are grave days in which grave decisions must be made.

Bodlnet. 31-year- old Portland brick mason, for armed robbery January 8, In con nection with a parlor house hold up and fatal shooting started Tues day In Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg's court. Interrogation of the first lour veniremen by District Attorney Frank Alderson was brief. How ever, Defense Counsel A. C. Yaden questioned Uie prospective Jurors at length.

I A Uni versity of California astronomer reported Tuesdsy he had totted a group of runaway superglant stars In a splrsl arm of Uie Milky Way relaUvely close to Uie earth. There vast heavenly bodies, each many times larger than the sun, are no hazard to ea rollings but uiey appear to be running away from each other at high speed compared to similar stars In other arms of uie galaxy, said Dr. Ha. rold F. Weaver. The galactic supergiants are In teresting. Dr. Weaver added, be cause uiey highlight uie shape of Uie spiral arm. They give oil a bluish light. .'Other galaotio arms also are highlighted by blue plants which are moving away from each outer more slowly, Uie astronomer said. They do not exist anywhere else In Uie Milky Way except In the splrsl arms. Dr. Weaver's finding that the blue giants are specific Inhabit ants of Uie galacUc arms means Uiat astronomers now will have good markers to look for In figur ing out Uie structure of Uie Milky Way. No. 2SM Jury In was overruled by Judge Vand en berg. The trial climaxes a series ol sensational developments since Bodlnet wss arrested at Myrtle's parlor house after his alleged partner In a purported holdup, Ed win Coyle. 28, was fatally wounded by Policeman James O'Neal. The officer ststed Coyle menaced him with a pistol. After Coyle fell with a bullet wound In his chest. Bodlnet. who also was reported to have been armed with a pistol, surrendered. Police were called to Uie parlor house after four women, Including Elizabeth Caldwell, colored maid, were bound and gagged by Uie rob bers. Mrs. Caldwell escaped ner bonds and summoned police. Subsequently, District Attorney Alderson launched a vice crusade. He appeared before Uie city coun cil and demanded that four parlor houses which had been operating here for years be closed. It also was brought to light dur ing Uie vice probe that Uie parlor houses were making contributions to the city. These donauons, listed at city hall under "account 307." were used for civic Improvements. Before the Bodlnet case was called. Judge Vandenberg- took un der advisement demurrers lUed by Attorney George Proctor in Uie cases of Dewey Rex Morelock, charged with non-support of a minor child, and Clyde Durkee, accused of a sex offense Involving a minor. Proctor claims the Indict ments against his clients are de fective. It was expected a Jury would be Impaneled late Tuesday afternoon in the Bodlnet case.
