Gen. Cantave announced disso-
a seven-man Executive
Council, which ha. been attempt
ing to rule until presidential elec
tions could be held June 16. The
turnover was accomplished with
out violence.
The army proclaimed a night
ly curfew throughout the nation,
imposed censorship on all outgo
ing press dispatches, and banned
all radio broadcasts of a political
or subversive nature.
Gen. Cantave, 46-year-old gradu
ate oi a u.b. Marine-trained ca-

elections. He said the army would

Lntil a provuional president is
chosen, he added, the army will
enforce military rule.
Cantave defied an order from
the Executive Council Monday
ousting him a. chief of .taff.
The army move had been an
ticipated in the wake of defiance
of the council by many segments
of Haiti's four million population,
and charges that the council was
"rigging" the elections for fa

Partisan Politics May Hold
Back Bill For Designating
Supreme Court Justices
By PAUL W. HARV(V Jr.
SALEM oji Effort, to bring
relief to the overworked Oregon
i Supreme Court appeared Tuesday
to be endangered by partisan
warfare in the Legislature.
The Democratic controlled
House voted Monday night 31 to
22 to add two justices to the seven
member court, a proposal that is
endorsed by the state bar and the
court itself. Three Republicans
joined 29 Democrats in passing
the bill without a vote to spare.
Republicans fought it because
it would give Democratic Gov.
Holmes a chance to name the
two justices.
The senate, wnere nepuDiicana

After the spirited action, the
House passed 42-17 and sent to
the governor a bill increasing the
justices' salaries from $13,500 to
$16,000 a year each.
Then it approved. 34-24, a Sen-
