) 2 Th Newi-Reyiew, Roieburg, Legislative Technicalities Little Known To Liymen (Continued from Page One) March 9. The rules were suspend ed and the vote by which the bill was passed was reconsidered .and the bill was re-referred to Com mittee on Alcoholic Traffic on March 10. The committee reported the bill back with new amendments and with the recommendation that the bill be passed and it was passed by the Senate on April 4. Then it was sent back to the House and the next few days will show whether it will be passed by the House with these amendments, and signed by the speaker and the president and the governor. It looks like a lot of red tape? Well perhaps it is, but every step in this rather arduous procedure is an attempt at protecting the peo ple of the state from hasty and ill-thought out legislation which might have dire and unforeseen results. And at every step along the way there has been opportu nity for the citizens of the state to voice approval or disapproval of this or any other bill before the legislature. Needless to say, only a small traction of the over one thousand measures that have been intro duced will successfully navigate these hurdles and live to sec the light of day from a page of the uregon statutes. Roieburg Lumber Co. Devises Loading System (Continued from Page O e) and safety, Bryden points out. Logs can be picked up either side by operator Manley Kemper, and he can reacn down into six or eignt feet of water If necessary to reach "sinkers." So that he will have a choice of size and length and a steady sup ply, pond men keep the logs mov ing up to the loader. To assist the rondmen are electric pusher mo tors, similar to outboards, alon bounding walkways. The pushers help move the logs toward the load er and are especially useful against the consistent north wind The system, supervised by Ray Wilkinson, has been keeping 14 truck drivers and four pondmen busy, a vital employment factor during the winter logging lull in the snow-covered hills. The 130-acre pond, about two miles west of Sutherlin on High way 225, Is nearly empty now. About June, dumping will begin again so that there will be a ready log supply for similar operations next winter.

That was the question the show world pondered today after the tenor failed to appear and was fired from the world's highest sal aried night club date. The Hotel New Frontier yesterday canceled Lanza's contract, which called for $100,000 for two weeks of singing twice a night. Lanza, his wife Betty, their four children and two nurses were scheduled to motor back to Holly wood today. The rest of their en tourage pulled out last night. A inend reported Lanza was heartbroken by his failure to keep the date. The reason is more than professional. He expected to use the $100,000 to rent a new house. Heavily in debt to the government for pas income taxes, he now plans to rent an apartment. For the past three months he has been living in Palm Springs and pre paring for the abortive night club engagement. "He was in a good mood and talking very sensibly," a close friend said. "He remarked that he guessed 'that motion pictures is mv business.' " Lanza apparently will go back to the movies. He is under con tract to Warner Bros, for the James M. Cain story "Serenade."

ROSEBURG DIAL OR 3-5574 Anthony Eden Takes High British Position (Continued from Page One) J sleek black limousine depart. "Good luck to you, Sir Anthony! a small crowd shouted on his 'it turn to the foreign office in Down ing Street to wind ud his business there. "Thanks, thank you all very much," he replied with a wave and a nod of his iron-gray head. His first major duty as Prime Minister was to pick his cabinet and several important changes were expected. The biggest was the naming of his own foreign sec retary. The general assumption in London was that the nod would go to Defense Minister Harold Mac Millan, 60, a director of the Mac Millan Publishing Co. and a war time friend of President Eisenhow er. Eden's succession to No. 10 Downing St. touched off the first heavy shots in the campaign for the general election he is expected to calf within months. Many poli ticians are expecting a vote as early as May 26. Even while Eden was at the palace leftwing laborite Rebel Aneurin Bevan cut loose with a political blast which tipped the line that many Socialists are likely to take in the drive to unseat the Conservative Party. "Scarcely adequate to meet the challenge of the new hydrogen age," Bevan wrote in the weekly tribune, adding: "The problem for Sir Anthonv Eden is that he does not possess a personal ascendancy over the rest of h.s colleagues." Therefore, Bevan charged, Bri tain is likely to pass from personal to "committee" leadership, with no strong hand at the helm. Eden, like Churchill, a friend and staunch ally of the United States, was certain to carry out many of the policies he and his old chief worked out together in the years of their close partnership. That association began as far back as 1938, when Eden then 41 quit tne government of Neville Chamber lian in a dramatic protest against appeasing the Axis dictators. Eden's forceful refusal to give way was one of the political steps that first brought him under the personal wiing of Churchill, who with the same vigor opoosed yielding to the threats of Hitler and Mussolini. "He seems to me at this moment to embody the life hope of the British nation," Churchill said at the time." Churchill reappointed him to the foreign secretaryship soon after ne took over as Prime Minister May 10, 19'.0, eight months after the obtsot of World War II. Again when Chureh-ll returned to No. 10 Downing St. in 1951 after six years of Laborite rule in the country, the war leader called his protege to direct foreign relations. Their association was so close that it ultimately led to a merger of their two families. Eden di vorced his first wife, the wealthy Beatrice Beckett, in 1950 on grounds of desertion. Two years later he married Churchill's niece, Clarissa Churchill, now 34. automatic on our floor. Come Automatic Washers.

Holland Houston, Langlie's pow er advisor, testified at the hearing the half-billion-dollar federal dam would be a "flagrant dissipation" of the taxpayers' money. And he urged that steam plants be used in the Columbia Basin power sys tem to replace "cyclical" reser voirs (those' which cannot be re filed annually). Patterson announced Monday he would testify against the pro posed federal dam legislation. Neither governor has come out for Idaho Power's. 3-dam plan, which is before the FPC. Three senators and three repre sentatives, the latter members of the House Interior Committee, flew here late Tuesday following a hearing at Pasco, Wash. The group was in Boise and Pocatello, Idaho, Monday. Presiding Wednesday was Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore), co-sponsor of the , Hells Canyon bill and a foe of the Republican administration's partnerrh p plan for construction of power dams by federal and non federal groups. In the group were Sen. Morse (D-Ore), who introduced the bill and also has fought the partnex sh;p plan, Sen. Dworrhak (R-Ida-ho) and Reos. Green (D-Ore), Pfost (D-Idaho) and Sisk (D-Calif).
