Newspaper Page TextTWO NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON. SATURDAY. JANUARY 15. 1949 'Allies Only' Label Expected to Coax Sweden Off Fence WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-IF Officials expressed hope today that a new "Allies only" label on American arms will coax Sweden off the neutrality fence In the cold war against Russia. State Department Press Officer Michael McDermott told a news conference yesterday that the United States cannot spare mili tary equipment for nations un willing to enter a defense alli ance against Communist expan sion. Officials said that was aimed straight at Sweden, where press reports have taken the opposite attack. Sweden has suggested that her northern neighbors cold shoulder western alliance bids and join her instead In a policy of strict neutrality. The Slate Department followed up McDermott's satement with an announcement that last summer Sweden received 30 P-51 fighter planes which are no longer in op erating condition but which can be used to replace parts In planes the Swedes already own. Stockholm reports said earlier this week that bweden had urged Norway and Denmark to spurn the projected North Atlantic mili tary alliance for an Iron-clad Scandinavian military pact. In any case, Sweden Indicated, she would remain aloof from the treaty being negotiated by the United States, Canada and five European nations.

After three judges and a mini ster had refused to tie the un usual matrimonial knot, Mrs. Adriana Eugenie Nicholson and her chauffeur-cook of seven years, Allen Lee Gustard Woods, were wed last night by a Negro pastor. The Rev. M. Frederick Mitchell, pastor of the .Cosmopolitan Chris tian Church, performed the cere mony in the parlor of his home. The elderly bride, bedecked with gardenias, was wheeled to tile ceremony. After is was per formed, Woods told reporters: "This is not a love match, It's strictly business." Mrs. Nicholson earlier observ ed: 'This is to be more of a contract than a marriage I want him to have my property when I die." Power Coop 'Fortunate' During Power Shortage Although the power situation in the Pacific Northwest is "auite critical" at present, the Douglas Electric Cooperative has been "fortunate" in not having felt this shortage too much, said Har old Backen Jr., manager, in a bulletin to members. However, a request is made that the use of electricity during the "peak" hours, between 5 and 7 p. m., be reduced. Secretary at Legislature Writes Her Impressions (Continued from Page One) er called a ten minute recess to give the committee an op portunity to formulate the rules for the session and at the con clusion of that time, like a mira cle, the House was presented with nine or ten pages of carefully prepared rules. The illusion was that that had been achieved in a very short period. 1 suppose some visitors had no conception of the fact that that committee had labored for many long hours, in fact far into the nights long before Jan. 10. Since Paul is vice-chairman of that committee, I with W. W. Chadwlck of the Chadwick hotels as chairman) I was aware of the amount of time involved in preparing a set of rules which would be effi cient and also acceptable to the members. The election of the Speaker was Just as smooth. Of course the election was unanimous and probably the only surprising thing about it was when my husband in making the speech seconding the nomination of Frank Van Dyke. Instead of enu merating his perfection In noble terms, chose Instead to describe one or two of his college pranks, illustrating to what achievements Speaker Frank has reached In overcoming the "devillshness" of those days. Anyhow evervone voted for him so I guess It was alright. The inauguration of the new governor is quit:; a pageant and I still shudder when 1 think how nearly I missed it. The House was "at ease" while waiting for the Senate to arrive so I stepped out to try and locate our guests who were also late.

One interesting little part of the ceremony consists of the President of the Senate request ing the Speaker of the House to canvas the election and de termine who has been elected Governor of the State of Oregon. Naturally no one seemed par ticularly surprised when a few moments later Speaker Van Dyke announced that he had determin ed that Douglas McKay had been duly elected Governor of the State. A good many of the legis lators laughingly accused Gov ernor McKay and former Gover nor Hall of plagiarizing each other, or at least of peeking at the other's speech for a good many observations and recom mendations were so nearly alike as to be surprising. Everyone seems to be deter mined to hasten this session and waste absolutely no time on trivi alities. Following the inaugura tion, the House convened for perhaps ten minutes at which time the first three House Bills of which you are reading in the papers were introduced and promptly the members suspend ed the rules anf4 they were read a second time and sent to com mittee for consideration and In vestigation. If you are not aware of the procedure, the rules call for the title of a Bill to be read two times, the second time on the succeeding day, and after that formality sending them to the committee most nearly concerned witn tnem wnere tne real work Is done. Had the rules not been suspended another day would have elapsed before the com mittees could get their hands on these bills and of course a day wasted at the beginning probably means more time tacked on at the end of the session. (The third reading comes later.) Well, I could go on at great length about various new and unusual experiences here but this would be entirely too much to begin with so I'll accumulate them for another time.
