The PUBLISHERS COLUMN On the front page you will see an editorial written by one of our staff and endorsed by all. Each year we have felt that a good rodeo was being spoiled by the type of jokes that the clowns pulled. I always felt a little insulted in behalf of the people of Cache Valley to think that the clowns had us sized up as being the kind of people who would enjoy having smutty and suggestive stories told to us. The State Road Commission has sent us a few of their beautiful new road maps. The (maps are printed in color and show pictures of the most scenic spots ln utah and contain a map of the state, well marked. There is othof interest to er information travellers. The principal purpose in preparing the maps, we understand is for free distribution over the country to advertise the state and invite tourists. The National Educatonal composed of school teachers, adopted apd endorsed a statement saying that they oppose the use of the strike to gain advances in pay which they seek. This gives me new hope for the future. At last a large and influential group have recognized that the strike is undemocratic and contrary to the best interests of our ' country. We are a democratic government where Issues should be settled without resort to force or I speak for the large majority of the audience in saying that there were times when it would have been less embarrasing if the women and children had not been present. We are not so hardened to these things that we can sit in mixed company, and with children and young people present, and listen to shady jokes. Im sure the rodeo management will do well to get a set violence. If the teachers are willing to of clowns who can be funny withput principle before gain, and to out being dirty. use their influence to strengthen the democratic processes, I say that they deserve our best in pay or other reward. , South Cache Courier The Russians continue to fool around in northern Greece.

This fear has proved entirely unjustified. Marshall has leaned over backward to be a civilian; has run his department on a civilian basis. Chief criticism of Marshall is that he has lacked confidence in himself, therefore has moved too cautionsly. Unfortunately he had to take over a field in which except for a brief experience in China he was absolutely green. He had spent his life studying warlike matters; suddenly he was shifted to the problems of peace. has not Marshall Therefore, moved with the same surefootedness as Jimmie Byrnes. Byrnes was a past master at negotiation. He did not have to lean on his advisers. He led and they followed. To some extent Marshall has had to reverse this. He has had to learn the ropes all over again, could not entirely pick things up where Byrnes left off, has had to lean heavily on advisers and has lacked the experience to be able to challenge their decisions. Sometimes the results have been excellent as in the Marshall plan, where the secretary of state leaned heavily on able George Kennan and followed his recommendations. But the results have not been good in Argentina and Latin America, where the new secretary of jtate has leaned on other advisers. Greatest setback the state department has suffered is the exodus of top, trained personnel. Here, the turnover has been so rapid that the oldest assistant secretary of state, in point of service, now is William Benton. As a military man, Marshall knows the difficulty of leading troops in battle with green officers. Today his department of state is trying to win the battle of peace with some of the older and officers retired from the battlefield. thelnflfc WE GIVE YOU THE NEWS AS IT OCCURS -- AND EDITORIAL J .:- COMMENT AS WE SEE IT tS' t How can people help being with travagant thousands new ways to spend money only one way of saving it. ex- of and The difference between a conviction and a prejudice is that you can explain a conviction without getting angry Anon.

IDAHO STORES IN UTAH AND IDAHO Built Baldwin UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Veterans Overlooked After the smoke of congressional battle cleared, thousands of stunned veterans searched the headlines for word of an expected increase in students subsistence, on - the - job training pay, plus promised automobiles for the blind and amputees. Both bills had passed the senate by unanimous vote, had been shoved hurriedly through the house veterans affairs committee. However, nothing happened. The bills never passed. Inside story is that GOP bosses in the house quietly turned thumbs down on the veterans legislation. Strategy was plotted at a secret meeting of the Republican steering committee, where Indianas majority leader Charlie Halleck argued that the Republican party which had promised mere economy than it had been able to legislate, could not afford any more veterans benefits at least not this year. . This caused a vigorous clash inside Republican ranks. Rules chairman Leo Allen obediently refused to grant necessary rules to permit a vote on the veterans bills. But Massachusetts motherly Edith Nourse Rogers, chairman of the veterans affairs committee, also a Republican, refused to be bullied. For three days she struggled to force the bills before the house. On the eve of the last session, the lady from Massachusetts made a last desperate plea. I do not know how the members can go back and I do not know how I can go back, she and tell the veterans cried, . . . No, the congress has passed millions and millions of dollars for relief to foreign countries and never counted the cost but we are not passing legislation for the veterans beI believe cause of the cost. the leadership will bring np those bills for action tomorrow.
