By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 13. IJFf
The 44th Oregon legislature
o-ened its 1947 session today on a
note of harmony after one of the
quickest organizing sessions In
history.
It took each House only a few
minutes to choose presiding offi
cers and officials, headed by Sen
ate President Marshall E. Cor-
nett or Klamath Falls and Speak
er John H. Hall of Portland.
All of the officers were elected
unanimously. An example of the
narmony is ine iaci mat sen.
Earl T. Newbry, Ashland, nom
inated Cornett for the Senate
leadership, and Sen. William
Walsh, Coos Bay, seconded the
nomination and moved mat a
unanimous ballot be cast for Cor
nett. Newbrv and Walsh had
been candidates themselves for
senate president.
The House streamlined itself
by reducing the number of com
mittees from 37 to 24. but the
Senate voted ot stick to 31 com
mittees Instead of cuttinv to 24.

Several Republican leaders In

Vandenberg of Republican support on major diplomatic Issues ex

countries which need them, and
3. Continuance of tariff reduc

Closed Shop
Bill Facing
Tough Battle
WASHINGTON, Jan. lZ-iJP
Divided GOP opinion points to
day to rocky going in the 13-man
Senate Labor Committee for Sen
ator Ball's proposals to break up
closed shops and industry-wide
wage bargaining.
Two of the eight Republicans
on the committee. Senators
Morse and Aiken (Vt.), have
been outspoken against steps as
far reaching as those suggcsiea
by their Minnesota colleague.
A third Republican member,
Senator Ives (N. Y.), has never
favored an outright ban on the
closed shop, and his friends said
today he has not changed his
view. Ives, a newcomer to Capi
tol Hill, is dean at the New York
State School of Industrial and
Labor Relations at Cornell Uni
versity. Most of the other Republicans
on the committee have not de
clared themselves on the two
Ball proposals. Harold E. Stas-
sen, former Minnesota governor
and an announced candidate for
the 1948 GOP presidential nomi
nation, told a news conference
Saturday that both bills "go too
far." Stassen is not a member
of Congress.

Bill Aims to Halt
Bribery in Sports
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-()
Rep. Herbert (D.-La.). Intro
duced legislation, today setting
out neavy penalties tor attempts
to bribe athletes and sports offi
cials, asserting that "sports is big
business and the public must he
protected from . the fixers, the
chlsclers and the .grafters."
Herbert said his action
stemmed from "the recent pro
fessional football scandal involv
ing Alvln Paris for allegedly at
tempting to bribe Frankie Fil
chock and Merle Hnpes of the
New York Giants."
Paris was convicted In New
York last week on the bribery
charge. National League Com
missioner Bert Bell Is studying
the future status of Filchock and
Hapes in professional football,
although both have been paid
their full cut from the league
championship game.
Herbert Introduced a second
measure covering only the Dis
trict of Columbia, a bill patterned
after the New York State stat
ute under which Paris was prose
cuted. The federal statute covering
interstate athletic contests would
carry a penalty of up to 10 years
Imprisonment and a $10,000 fine.
The District of Columbia meas
ure would fix the maximum pen
alty at five years Imprisonment
and a fine of $1,000.

Aliens abroad we can feed
'em,
Aliens at home we should
wood 'em;
Though wo fill empty 'tummies'
Wo don't want the commies' '
To stuff us with 'bunk' ad
nauseam.
