'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.

Aged Woman's Marriage
Said 'Strictly Business'
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15 (IP)
A "strictly business" marriage
unfolded today for a wealthy,
wheel-chaired widow, 90, and her
Negro chauffeur, 28.
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. Imagine my

horror to find the door locked
and the doorkeeper inside and
the only way we managed to get
back in was by ducking In after
the Senate when those august
gentlemen were escorted in to
their places of honor.
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.
