Political observers said they were the opening moves In ma neuvering by McKay and New nry lor tne party's 1950 nomina tion for Governor. McKay said at the time of the appointment that "the public will have the last word." Senate President William E. Walsh, Coos Bav. was auotcd as saying, "this is the beginning uj ine civil war. Ex-Gov. Charles A. Sprague condemned the Smith appoint ment. He wrote In his column in the Oregon Statesman, "Smith has been a Republican politico in Portland for a decade, a con niver who tries to play for the winner. I recall he was ousted from a position with the State Department of Health, but man aged to snare another state Job. My guess is that he is the choice of former Governor John H. Hall. He was a staunch Hall sup porter a year ago." Hall first put Newbry Into of . fice by appointment. r WALLPAPER 200 Patt.rn. 18 to 11.20 Page Lumber & Fuel 164 E. 2nd Ave. 3.

(JPi Pin ball machine losses by University of Washington students In the University district have been large and reached as high as $2,000 for one student, a letter to the school's authorities said to day. Such heavy losses are detri mental to "pocketbook, school work and the peace of mind of many students," the four protest ing undergraduates wrote. The letter to President Raymond B. Allen was signed by Robert E. Arnold, Cleveland Anschell, James B. Wilson and Rita M. Ross, all of Seattle. In reply, Donald K. Anderson, Washington director of public In formation, commented that the university was "naturally con cerned" but that It had no con trol, over such off-campus activ ities. Dr. Allen could not be reach for comment. The four students said their own losses were negligible but that It was "not uncommon" for a student to lose as much as $20 In a single hour of play. "We also bear in mind the re cent story of the students at Washington State College who at tempted suicide as a result of pin ball machine losses," they said.

He was said to have reecived the Com mittee's full bi-partisan support Western Allies In Stronger Position to Deal With Soviet By WES GALLAGHER BERLIN. Mav 20. UB Amer- tea, Britain and France will go into tne fans loreign ministers conierence in their strongest po sitions since Yalta. This is the situation of the Big Four as seen today In Ber lin where France, Britain, the United States and Russia wrangle daily. , lhe soviet Unions bargaining situation has ' been considerably weakened economically and po litically since the Moscow and xonaon conierences. In both previous conferences th3 West was In a defensive po sition trying to seek agreements irom Kussia. In the Paris conference for the first time diplomats believe the West can take the offensive or sit tight and let the Soviets seek to break the deadlock. The West's stand with the a r- lift heartened not only Germany but all of Europe to resist Com munism. The Soviet withdrawal of the blockade without achieving their oojectives snowed the Russian Bear to be vulnerable If the op position Is firm and united. Given a choice between a So viet picked government and none at all, one In every throe Eastern Germans chose none at all. The West goes to Paris Mon duy with a Western German economy headed toward recov ery; a stable, democratically elec ted government and with as much support from West Ger man's 46 millions as any occu pation power could expect. Russia goes to Paris with a decimated Eastern German econ omy with a falling living stand ard, a "government'' handpicked but lacking popular German sup port and a German population skeptical of any promise or pro posal they might make.
