A Way to Peace Man seems to flounder around rather helplessly in his attempt to find a stable foundation to rest his hope of international goodwill and peace for all mankind. The average American citizen is at a loss as to how to cope with a mixed up, very tense international situation that leaves him all but defeated in his quest for an answer to world peace. One good place for American man to start is at home. One good way to prove to the rest of the world how sincere and honest is the American talk of peace is to practice it for all of the world to see. This page can think of no better roots for peace than these ten commandments of goodwill we herewith reprint from Temple BethEl Bulletin, Jersey City, N.J. I I will respect all men and women regardless of race anci reJ.igion. II I will protect and defend my neighbor and my neighbor's children against the ravages of racial or religious bigotry. III I will exemplify in my own life the spirit of goodwill and understanding. IV I will challenge the philosophy of racial superiority by whomsoever it may be proclaimed, whether they be kings, dictators or demagogues. v I will not be misled by the lying propaganda of those who seek to set race against race or nation against nation. VI I will refuse to support any organization that has for its pmpose the spreading of Anti-Semitism, Anti-Catholicism or Anti-Protestantism. VII I will establish comradeship with those who seek to exalt the spirit of love and reconciliation throughout the world. VIII I will attribute to those who differ from me the degree of sincerity that I claim for myself. IX same I will uphold the civil rights and religious liberties of all citizens and groups whether I agree with them or not. X I will do more than live and let live-! will live and help live. Dr. Walter W. VanKirk. It isn't difficult for man to follow these ten simple commandments of goodwill. It doesn't take much effort. What it does take is the feeling of humanitarianism, the courage to stand up for a belief and the faith so necessary if man is to find peace of mind.

Six men and six women were finally selected along with one male alternate. Ten of the prospective jurors were eliminated when they admitted having formed clear opinions of the case previously. Fred Jensen, defense attorney, questioned the jurors to determine whether they were prejudiced either because Valentine is part Negro, Catholic or a narcotics addict. In his opening argument, used only to inform the jury of the intended nature of his argument, Jensen said that he intended to prove that the Brice's family maid, Lizzie Mae Brown, knew Valentine long before the at- ·tempted crime and had been giv·· en a drink in a night club by Valentine. Another woman, Maudell Lindsay, had been present at that time, Jensen claimed. As additional ammunition for the prosecution, Charles E. Raymond claimed that two Portland General Electric linemen, working in the vicinity of the Cat· lin-Hillside school, had seen Valer.tine escaping on foot from the scene on March 19. In an additional surprise move, Jensen Thursday indicated his intention to take the witness stand himself for the defense. He aske"d Raymond and Raymond Carskadon, another prosecution attorney, to waive the rule prohibiting him from arguing the case if he testified. He was granted the waiver. Jensen had previously claimed that he was denied permission to see Valentine by the police until after Valentine had been indicted. It was expected that Jensen's testimony would be in reference to this incident. He said that March 26 he was not allowed to see Valentine because the addict was reportedly too ill from the withdrawal of narcotics. However, Jensen said, later the same day Valentine was given two shots of morphine to enable him to go to court for arraignment. Concerning his predicament Valentine said, "I am innocent and I know that if I have a fair A witness to the accident, Wendell J. Ingam, 230 S. E. Hawthorne street, took the girl to the hospital.

A.t the opening of the trial crowds packed to the courtroom to hear the evidence: Early Thursday jurors and other interested parties including Judge R. Bain of the circuit court visited the scene of the attempted kidnap· ping, going first to the Bric:e 'home at 1750 SW West Point court. Next the group drove to the Catlin-Hillside school at 617 NH Culpepper terrace where a crowd of onlookers, princaplly school children, observed them as they examined the school grounds and building. The group saw the The galleries were packed wi:lh visitors who gathered to learn the fate of the Civil Rights Bill. sponsored by the late beloved Senator Harry Kenin.

Grant, runner-up for the county treasurer post four years ago, is a native Oregonian, 39 years old, married and -heads his own property and business management firm. ' He is a member of several civic and fraternal organizations and has served as a Democratic committee man for 16 years. If elected, Grant said he will support an economical, efficient and sound business-like administrati-on. Under the slogan, "Courteous ServIce to All," Grant reported he pledges the Multnomah citizens more efficiency, more economy, less spending and less politics. Grant received over 29,000 Democratic votes for this same position in 1950 and wishes to express his sincere thanks to the many Democrats for there past support.
