The 6-month deadline fixed
by Syngman Rhee Of Korea for
a peaceful settlement Of the
war with the Communists ex-
pires Saturday. June 26.
The President of the South
Korean Republic has notified
the world through diplomatic
channels and by public state
ments that he is in earnest
about that final deadline. The
American Government has
given its tacit consent to the
fixing Of that date.
Last fall we insisted that Mr..
Rhee accept political discus
sions with the enemy at q con-
ference with the Chinese and
North Koreans. While dip
lomats were discussing ways
and means for such q gather
ing, Secretary Dulles accepted
the Berlin parleys. But. there,
instead Of attempting to settle
the future Of Germany and
Austria, he left them in abey-
ance and agreed to go to
Geneva to discuss the Indo-
Chinese and Korean problems.
He had been advised that the
settlement of these matters
would eliminate the dangers Of
renewed fighting in Korea.
The hotheaded Korean Pres
ident, who wanted to resume
military operations when it
became obvious that the Reds
were trying delaying tactics
at Panmunjom, had to be re-
strained by us. He was told
that If he started military
operations then, he would have
no support either in men or in
war material from the United
States. But when he agreed to
q 6-month breathing spell.
some promises were given him
that If at the expiration Of
that period peace was nowhere
in sight. we would support his
actions.
The Korean peace talks have
taken second place in impor-
tance at Geneva. Our efforts to
get the Moscow and Peiping
Reds to get down to business
on the Korean matters have
been unfruitful. The Commu-
nistS were chiefly interested In
marking time in Indo-C China,
expecting the rice bowl Of Asia,

That flower of evil which is
McCarthyisrn bloomed in the
Senate caucus room late
Wednesday, rank and nox-
ious, a fitting funeral blossom
for the death of o republic.
An angry man cut it down
and plunged it deep into the
clear, cool waters of the New
England conscience.
Now it is up to the Ameri-
can people who have been
bred to- the doctrine that by
their fruits ye shall know
them.
It all happened suddenly.
The Army-McC Carthy hear
ings have been droning to o
close with rather more trans
parent diversions and clumsy
personalities than usual. Re-
publican members Of the COM
mittee had adopted the policy
Of anything to get it over and
were refusing to question Roy
Cohn, the boy wonder counsel
Of the Mccarthy committee.
This left the field clear for
the Army counsel, Joseph N.
Welch, the Pickwickian char
acter with the bow ties and
manners Of the old school.
Mr.. WEIGH is a highly intelli-
gent man to whom it must
be clear that while Senator
Mccarthy and Mr.. Cohn look
bad in this inquiry, the Army
Is no ball Of flre either.
So he has been putting Mr..
Cohn on trial, according to Q
legal technique hallowed by
custom. Polite but tirelesS, he
Is evoking the picture Of
young Mr.. Cohn badgering
and batting the highest ON

Now that it begins to appear
that the McCarthy-Army
hearings may come to an end
some day, people are asking.
What will be the outcome? The
answer would seem to be that
there isn't going to be any
outcome. That is to say, there
isn't going to be any clear
cut finding by the Mundt
committee concerning the guilt
or innocence Of any parties to
the dispute. Eventually-per-
haps before the November
election. quite possibly not
until after-there will be O
majority report signed by the
four Republican members Of
the committee and q minority
report signed by the three
Democratic members. They
will not read very much alike.

report should be q relatively
easy Job. The Democratic
Senators have nobody to de-
fend and nothing to excuse.
They can really let the chips
fall where they may. since
they must necessarily fall
within one of the two Repub-
lican camps.

EN- ROUTE TO WASHING
TON. June 10.-The most sig
nificant impression that this
observer has derived from his
survey Of Europe in the last
several weeks is that there Is
abroad an almost completely
false idea of the motives and
purposes. if not the ideals, Of
the people Of the United
States.
This has not developed as a
result of any one incident or
series of incidents but appears
to be the direct result Of the
strong waves Of materialism
which have been tearing Eu-
rope asunder along theological
lines ever since the close Of the
war.
When q people Is interested
in itself primarily and counts
hopefully the months ahead.
as it looks for some magic turn
Of events to bring an improved
economic situation, 1t does. not
relish q new war on any
ground. Nor can it understand
why q prosperous nation like
the United States should be
building bigger and bigger
ornaments.
The natural inquiry that
such an attitude evokes is:
Why does anybody in Europe
think for q moment that
America is voting huge ex-
penditures for armament? To
maintain an inflated economy
and to provide full employ
ment? To start q war some
day. even II it is not attacked?
The answers that come are
always fuzzy and reveal the
inadequate interfow Of news
between the two continents or
perhaps inaccurate reporting
by some Of the correspondents
who themselves are more con-
cerned with the ideologies Of
the hour than with the facts.
Sometimes one is led to think
the menace Of Communist i'm
perialism Is q mere 1lgment Of
the American imagination.
The most striking fact Is
that Europeans seem not
afraid Of q Communist march
against the free nations, or at
least not aS afraid as Ameri-
cans are. Germany is nervous,

justified.
The fact Is that Europeans

and they are likely to blame

ton, ike America - rather

stances which permit the cur

trines Of national socialism.
Under such circumstances.
is it Americas duty to with
draw unto herself and let
other nations stew in their
own. Juice until they become
so badly OF that they viii
come begging for American
help? Not at all. The obliga-
ton upon America is to bear
with Christian fortitude and
sympathy the criticisms that
come her way and to view
them most sympathetically. as
one might treat the confused
and sometimes bitter COM
ments of a distraught friend.
Psychological leadership -
which means more attention
to the things of the spirit that
give peoples hope and tend to
create self-assurance--can do
much to reunite the quarreling
factions inside Europe and to
make them understand the
idealism Of the American peo-
pie. For Europe is q problem
which in itself would be CO.
lossal in its challenge even If
we all were to be assured 10
or 20 years of peace-which
we are not.
The sooner Americans begin
to improve the system Of COM
munication Of ideas between
Europe and the United States
and to bring about q more ac-
curate reflection in Europe Of
American motives and pur-
poses, the better chance there
will be to permeate the Euro
pean peoples themselves with
the spirit Of unselfishness that
characterizes American lead
ership In the world today.

Posture Brouaht to Cows

Mr.. Ockels drives q forage

is stand there and eat it.
Mr.. Ockels says the "lazy COW"
idea is practiced in some other
sections because it conserves
grass. But he doesn't have much
choice. His farm is bordered on
one side by the town Of Seaford
and on the other by a dual lane
highway. He'd rather bring pas
ture to the cows than have them

Dr. Robert j. Spratt, Superintend-
ent of the State Hospital at Warm
Springs, announces that the new
library for patients opened on Thurs
day, July %, under the direction of
Mrs. Elsie R. Ekegren, Librarian.
Quarters for the new library were
made possible by the remodeling of
existing facilities. The reading and
recreation provided makes possible
another avenue of rehabilitation for
the patients. Some patients will make
use of the library at their own con-
venience, others will make scheduled
visits, and for those patients who are
physically unable to visit the central
library ward libraries are being es
tablished.
At the present time the library has
$500 volumes, all donated by other
libraries, organizations, and individ~
uals. The State Hospital is apprecia-
tive of the fine quality of the books
received. In order to care for the
1000 patients at the Hospital there
is an estimated need for 5000 more
volumes. Additional books of all cate
gories, for children, teen-agers, and
adults, are needed.

TWO TAX METHODS SHOULD
NOT BE CONFUSED

First, however, | wish to emphasize
that the Oregon use tax and the sub
ject of this discussion is termed a
weight-mile tax, and not a ton-mile
tax, as indicated in the program.
While Technology as such means
nothing, it is of the utmost import
ance that these two forms of tax not
be confused with each other because
there is no relationship whatsoever
between their respective principles,
theories, or effects. This misnomer
which is commonly applied to the
weight-mile tax is one to which we
in Oregon are especially sensitive,
since we had ton-mile tax in effect
from 1888 until 1947, during which
period extensive studies were con-

CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO
THOSE IN MONTANA

Other conditions such as topo-
graphy, climatic conditions, ct cetera,
influence the cost requirements Of
highways. but these in turn are con
trolled by the factors mentioned be-
fore For example, the very rough
topography and severe snow condi-
tions encountered on the five all
year highways which Oregon main
tains through the Cascade range Of
mountains make the costs for con
struction and maintenance Of these
highways much greater than for SINH
lar roads in the willamette Valley
But the very presence Of these roads
in the Oregon highway system is due
to the requirements Of traffic, which
goes back to the extent of facilities
required. BY the same token, the
cost identified with structural fea-
lures and features of geometric de-
sign such as width, curvature, grade,
ct cetera, which are required by larg-
er, longer, heavier vehicles, are multi
piled many fold in highways which
must be located through rough topo-
graphy. But, again, the presence of
such additional costs is due to the
requirements of certain classes of
road users.
1t is therefore manifest that
each operator, by his use of the
highways, creates a cost demand
the magnitude of which is measured
by the size and weight of the We
hicle operated and the extent of
use or mileage operated on the
highway facilities.
