Ellsworth, former rdilnr of the
Rosflnii'K News -Review, devoted
much of his time at home to
civic organizations atid commun
Ity affairs.
"My duties seem rather fam
iliar," Kllswurth said. "'I Hey con
sist chiefly of doiiiH things fur
other people, helping others and
representing my district. It
not so greatly different from my
worn at home.
And that is where he Is catch

always Is looking up things, do
ing tilings and interviewing gov
ernment officials for home folk
and as one memher onco put it
"running errands for my folks
hack home, and I like It."
Stockman Not Complaining
Rep. Lowell Stockman, Ore
gon's six foot-six, 270 - pound
congressman from the state's
Feeond district, says he is well
satisfied with the congressional
outlook from the few days he
has heen here.
The big, smiling rancher from
Pendielon says he just has not
'"found anything to complain
ahout."
"It is just fine," Stockman said.
"Everything suits me. I like mv
work and Ihose with whom I
work and I leel I am coinr :o
like heing a representative."
He chuckled as he told of find
ing a place to live, In the Cairo
hotel, in the northwest section
just off IQh street. "They told
us we could stay as long as we
wished," he said. "So my visions
of having to sleep in the streets
didn't come true."
The representative said he
would remain at the hotel until
he found n suitahie home and
would take his time looking for
It.

the senate to guide their destinies
through one of the most Impor

his judgement has kept the re
publicans nway from many pit
falls In the legislative roadway.
Always on the job, the senator
has gone about his work quietly,
smilingly and insistent that the
republican views be given con
sideration.
This year with 38 republicans
in the senate the weight of their
voles will be the heaviest since
the democrats came into power in
l!i.')2, and must be tuken into con
slderalion in any legislation that
comes before the congress.
The longest any previous lead
er served was fil terms when
Senator Lodge (It-Mnss) was the
republican leader.
Mott Heads Group
Representative Molt (It-Ore)
has been chosen as chairman of
the Oregon house ili'legalion. The
lour members at their first meet
ing also named Mott (or a posi
tion on the republican committee
on committees ol I hi' house and
Representative Angell (H-Ore) as
I'd the republican activities and i a member of the congressional
campaign committee.
Oregon congressmen divided in
their opinions of President House
veil's message to congress. Angell
said it was "one of optimism and
hope," but addi'd, "the message
was silent on the road ahead. We
have reached a time now when
the chief executive should cooper
ate In lull Willi the congress. We
need team work. The congre-s
will do its full part ill the coopera
tive effort so much needed to win
the war and bring victory to out
side." Senator ! lithium described it as
"uninspiring and lacking con
structive leadership. I believe II
was undignified and lacked ex
pressions of tjiose high ideals of
leadership the nation needs. It
seems to ine II was addressed to
the 12 year old minds of th:
counlry." The Netherlands received
Dutch Ouiana in South -tncrica
in exchange for the territory
which later became NVu- York

Jailer Holder was charged with
failure to take any steps to secure
the jail and Wash, "as was his

The other four were accused of
conspiring to persuade state of

slower than in other parts of

In the close-quarter fighting In
Stalingrad, the red army made
an important gain by thrusting
forward from a northern factory
district to the western outskirts

down efforts to abolish the board.
Governor Snell recommended
creation of a committee on post
war readjustment and develop
ment to "contribute to sound,
practical, orderly and satisfactory
solutions to important problems
ahead."
Members of this committee
would be the chairman of the
house and senate ways and means
committees, budget director, state
director of agriculture, state for
ester, state director of geology
and mineral Industries, state high
way engineer, a representative of
the school of economics or busi
ness administration at the Univer
sity of Oregon, a representative
of the Oregon State college en
gineering school, and six others
to be appointed by the governor.
Other recommendations made
by Snell:
Authorize and give authority to
the state civilian defense council.
Continue the state guard, which
expires January 21.
Ask congress to reimburse
states for taxes on federal lands.

Short Session Urged
In asking the legislators to gr
home just as soon as they pos
sibly can, Snell said:
"I suggest that legislation at
this session be confined to meas
ures having to do with the win
ning of the war; post-war plan
ning or legislation essential to
that period; taxation, particular
ly property tax relief; consolida
tions and economy programs; .
necessary appropriation meas'D

tion as determined to be necos.

and well-being of the people of
our state and deemed to be of
such urgency as necessary of en
actment now."

defense of Oregon, and that "Ore
gon's defense situation is steadily
improving."
So far, Sprague declared, there
has been no enemy action in Ore-'
gon by saboteurs.
He said the state's financial con
dition "is sound and healthy," but
warned that post-war develop
ments, which might include a
vastly increased old age pension
load, might drastically change the
picture.
Sprague decried federal en-,
croachments on state powers i
urging that states continue to'"
fight for their rights, but he
said there are signs "that the
limit of federal invasion has been
reached." States, he added, may
keep their rights by demon
strating their capacity to govern.
As soon as the war ends, the
state must fully modernize the
state hospital, state prison and
other institutions, as well as pro
vide them with efficient employ
es, Sprague said.
Sprague, who is retiring from
politics to go back to his news
paper, closed his address with a
promise that "my devotion to
state and country will continue."
