For Years We've Tried, But Never Quite

 The thoroughness with which the Hoover Com mission has gone into the job of overhauling the ex- ecutive branch of the government gives hope that some good may come of the exhaustive study of the subject But past performance in this direction has been encouraging Efforts to rehrape the struc- ture of the Federal government began far back as 40 years ago. thev have been resumed at intervals since with little accomplishment.
 In 1910 the late President Taft appointed an Economy and Efficiency Commission, but two years later Democratic Congress cut off its appropriations and it's studies went unheeded.
 The Congress in turn created joint committee on reorganization in 1920 It whtled down it's own recommendations to point where they would not have been of much value in any case, and in 1924 a bill to enact what remained ignored
 In 1882 President Hoover submitted orders to Con- press reerollpng 5o executive agencies, but he had been defeated for election and the proposals he made were dropped after the Roosevelt admnistra- ton took office.
 These past experiences provide basis for fear that the new Hoover recommendations will take the same course and end up imposing set of documents in the national archives. The record of the past should however have the opposite effect It serves to show how long and seriously such reforms in the Federal government have been needed, and it should furnish warning against indifference or postpone ment of action on program carefully and integenty worked out bv group of competent public spirited and disirlterested citizens.

MOsCOW,s VIEWPOINT

Meanwhile some strategists i'll the Defense Department believe tht scales are 50 delicately tipped that there is greater danger of wal than any time since Dec. T, l94l
 Two main factors are behind this pessimistic conclusion:
 fA) With completion of the North Atlantic Pact. two lines oi Notifications will extend across Flu rope-the armies of the West or one side, the armies Of the East on the other. Eventually they may clash. Therefore, it might be bet ter from Russia's point of view tc precipitate the clash before the Western line is organized and forti. fled.
 (B) The Politburo considers lti main weapons to be people -plus the psychological and political prac- tices that influence people. Re gently the people of Western Eu. rope have been slipping from Mos cows grasp Therefore if war i: going to come eventually, iron Mcscow's point of view, it had Bet. ter come now than later.
 Meanwhile the Russians have al. ready built their line of defense across Europe. Running from thu Baltic to the Balkans is seriei of Red Army concentrations, mu nitions dumps and air bases. An. other line farther east, running from Wilma to Kiev, marks the be ginning Of Russian munitions fac tories. And important factories ar being moved east of that line t. further escape the range of allie' bcInbers.
 Opposite the first Soviet line Moscow now knows that the Nortl Atlantic Pact countries plan tt build up a new Maginot Line, con sssting of 35 European division armed with U. s. weapons. Franc is to organize IA divisions, Grea Britain 6, Italy 5. Belgium 3, Nor way 2, Holland 2, with one eacf

THE ATOM BOMB

The chief factor which should de- ter Russia from war is, of course, the atom bomb. We have 1t and the Russians haven't. However, they may argue-with some truth-that the United States would never drop she atom bomb on Paris, London Rome, Oslo, Copenhagen. And once Red troops moved into those cities, it would take years to pry them out. Meanwhile, bombing the great open spaces of Russia is difficult. They are a long way off and Rus sian cities are spaced lew and far between. Next to Africa or Aus tralia, the atom bomb would be least effective on Russia.
 But regardless of these pros-and- cons. it remains a fact that 5 divisions out of the 22 which the Red Army has maintained in Si- beria have recently moved back toward Europe It is further fact that the Czech bank in New York was closed the other day even though it was making money (Jap- an closed it's banks here before Pearl Harbor); and that the Rus sian satellite countries are now con- ducting an inventory of all military supplies in order to fix one central command for the armies of Poland Finland, Bulgaria Hungary, Ru- mania, etc.
 It also remains a tact that the Russians, being partly Oriental, are tremendously influenced by face" or prestige When they lose face they move to recoup it. When the USA took over Greece, Russia inn mediately moved to take over Hun gary. When we scored other gain5, she took over Czechoslovakia. ! Today, U. s. troops are iii Greece, i just a few miles from the Iron Curtain. which is comparable to having Russian troops in Mexico. Norway's new alliance with the LISA has the same effect on Russia as an alliance between Greenland and Russia would on us. while the U. s. military mission on the banks of the Bosphorus might be consid- cred comparable to having a Rus sian mission at the Panama Canal.
 It's necessary and important to look at the matter through Russian i eyes, because they are the ones who will finally decide whether to wait until the United States has built up it's new Maginot Line or to
 jump the gun this year.
 All of which is not a pleasant 1 prospect, and we hope it won't turn cut this way. But in this world of hard -boiled realities there is no use Iplaying ostrich.
 If, on the other hand, the cru
 cial year of l949 can be passed without war, then the odds will be increasingly strong for long period of peace-a period which the Amer ican people could use to penetrate the Iron Curtain with people-to- people friendship, the only gurantee of permanent peace.

FIELD ACTIVITIES

The study has been in the plan- ming stages since last summer. The Forest Service share of this CO., orsrative research will be under T the direction of the Alaska Forest Research Center Field activities will start on April when Ray Tay- Tor and Lawrence Zach leave for Ketchikan to make a preliminary reconnaissance of the streams ana | timbered areas to te studied as the Initial step for the seazon's re- search.
 ] The work will first be concen- ltIated in the vicinity of Kasaan Bay on the east coast of Prince Of Wales Island where headquarters will be established Three pairs ot streams will be set up for study this Iyear, each pair consisting of a check stream where no logging will be done, and a logged stream" for comparison.
 COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
 
 The tests will consist primarily of comparing actual counts ot the upstream run of adult salmon and the downstream migration of fry for each set of logged and unlog- ged streams. On one pair of basic study streams. water and air tenn perature, water level and precipi- tation will be recorded continuous ly and twc-Way fish-counting weirs twill be installed. Other streams will have water stage recorders, rain guages and migrant sampling sta- tions. Weirs may be installed farther upstream later to allow Istudy of the upper reaches of the streams Each stream will be map ped the timber cruised on the watersheds and studies made ot geological, silt, and turbid condi- Itions. The check streams will re- main unlogged for several years or until results show fairly uniform conditions, after which some ot them will be logged to give "ae- i fore" and after conditions fol the same area.
 Mitchell Hanavan of the Seattle ! Laboratory of the Fish and Wild life Service will be in local charge of the Fisheries end of the study Lawrence Zach of the Alaska Forest Research Center with a crew of fou1 men will handle the logging ano forestry angles.

LOGGING EFFECTS, SALMON STREAMS,
 WILL BE STUDIED

cooperative study of the effect of logging on salmon streams will be started early in April by the Forest Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service, states the office of Regional Forester B. Frank Heint- zleman. This research project is the first of its kind ever attempted in Alaska. It will provide information upon which to base logging regu- lations that will assure the safety of salmon spawning grounds. A pro- vision that logging operations shall not be permitted to interfere with the passage Of salmon to their spawning grounds or to injure the spawning grounds in any way is contained in all Forest Service tim Der sale contracts, including the large pulp timber unit sold to the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Com pany last year.
