Political Developments of
Week not Startling but

To Affect Outcome
Br SHELDON P. SACKETT
Outwardly the political develop
ments of the oast week have been
few; beneath the surface there
hare been cross-currents In the
political stream which create more
than a riffle when brought to
light.
ta Outstanding among the event
I of the last seven days was the
I board of education's . unanimous
! adoption of its curricula commit-
tee's report on unification of the
I five higher education institutions
in the state. Presumably this was
; a non-political action, yet it is
j known to have had Governor
Julius L. Meier's support. In fact
' the day the report was carried,
! Governor Meier is known to- have
i lingered in Portland to be avail
j able for conference and It was no-
ticed that P. E. Calllster. Albany
j member, was not reappointed until
I the board went down the line on
; Its unification plan.
! No Candidate Found
; To Oppose Holman
There has been much scurrying
1 around the state during the week
: among republican leaders to see
I if a candidate can be agreed upon
j to contest for the nomination for
state treasurer with incumbent
i Rufus Holman. One party chief
tain took time to make an exten
sive canvass of the state trying to
! stir up one good candidate but as
