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.

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.

Mario Lanza's
Appearance Off
LAS VEGAS, Nev. W Whero
does Mario Lanza go from nere?
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."

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.
