Opponents of Mavor Dorothy Lee's edict 'that boards yield priz es for skill and not on chance said they were laying plans. City license stamps previously affixed to punchboards expired Monday midnight except about 10 which had been placed on legal boards. Most punchboards fail to meet the city's legality test. A group known as Oregon Sales Stimulators company rpon yored a meeting Monday night at which one proposal v. as made to start a recall against the mayor. S. A. Sedlock, vending machine company head and spokesman for the group, said recall was not the way to solve the prob lem. "We want to abide bv the law but we think the courts should decide what the law is," Sedlock said. He was critical of Mayor Lee, saying that "we were run ning these same boards all the time she was commissioner and never let out a peep. Now that she Is mavor she acts like a king and takes a domineering and conquering atitude." He said the plan now Is to ask for a court ruling on what is a legal punchboard, or to draft an initiative designed to remove punchboards from the constitu tional ban on lotteries. ffit io 73raAt and JricHon e7rouitt BRAKE BLOCKS-LININGS FRICTION BLOCKS 0ov Phone champion friction co. 730-J-5 I OUT OUR WAY Williams U.

Another proposal which bit the dust was the one that would have denied ECA help to any country which violated a treaty with the United States. This was aimed at French Morocco, which alleg edly is discriminating against American businessmen In Casa blanca, In violation of treaty rights. The last big scrap came on an amendment by Senator Kem. Missouri Kepublican. tie wanted to bar further aid to countries that are continuing to nationalize or socialize their basic industries. Britain and France, prime re cipients of Marshall Plan help, could have been affected had this proposal been adopted. l-ortunateiy lor tne i.CA pro gram, it Is free of all these handicaps. We hardly dare hope, nowever. mat opponent! ol tne plan will not try again at the earliest chance to weight it down in similar style. In one Important respect tney succeeded this time. The Senate chopped 10 per cent off the a mount of money voted by the House for ECA. Only strong ad misistration effort averted bigger House cuts, so the lower cham ber is not likelv to resist the Senate's reduction when differ ences between the two versions are reconciled. The reduction does not seem wise. Allowances had already been made by the administration Itself for lower costs stemming from the lower American price level. Further slashes almost cer tainly will hurt the program, al though ECA Administrator Paul Hoffman did not fight them. He vrs too busy combating the other crippling chr.ngcs proposed. "Economy" is a poor excuse for the ECA reduction. Coming from a Congress that can't bring itself to economize anywhere else, it doesn't ring true. Congress Just took the easy way out. knowing that It won't hear directly from any European voters. Until the lawmakers show enough spunk to apply the eco nomy knife on some program closer to home, no sensible Amer ican voter is likely to give them credit for thinking about the taxpayer's pocketbook. The Job they did on ECA was a grand stand play. Doctor Third In His Family To Die Of Polio SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. 16.
