SWS CORVALLIS, Ore.. March 6. JP) Pride in the accomplishments of Oregon's young men now com ing into public life such as new college-bred legislators, was ex pressed here tonight by Charles A. Sprague, editor and co-publisher of the Salem Statesman. These men are sound products of; higher education, Sprague said in ah address to Sigma Delta Chi members and others interested in journalism on the Oregon State college campus.

LIU OF SLOT MACHINES iS VOTED (Continued From Page 1) sions through these machines." "What makes the house think that we can enforce this license law if we did not enforce the pres ent slot-machine act?" Represen tative Martin asked. "We might as well argue that we should li cense illicit houses as to claim the slot machines cannot be con trolled, hence should be licensed as gambling devices." In the early part of the session, the slot machine operators fought over the bill which provided that no operator could be licensed un less he owned 1500 or more ma chines and that no more than 2500 machines could be licensed in the state. House amendments struck out this monopolistic fea ture. Slot machine lobbyists con vinced house members, a long intensive work, that the gambling devices offered excellent oppor tunity for Oregon to provide old age pensions funds. They declared 14 states already had licensed the use of the machines. squad, including; Winfieid Need ham, national junior champion in the 500-yard free style, and Bob BrownelL , Jim Reed and Charles Reed of the University of Oregon team are former members of the Salem T.
