State Building
Discussed at Conference
The ways and means subcom
mittee studying proposals to build
a new state office building, to join
the city of Salem in carrying out
a sewage disposal project and to
carry toward completion land
scaping of the capitol grounds, will
report to the main committee soon,
probably Thursday, Rep, Carl
Engdahl (R-Umatilla), chairman,
indicated following a long con
ference with Gov. Charles A.
Sprague and the board of control
staff Monday afternoon.
: Engdahl's 'committee made de
tailed inquiry into the office build
ing and sewage disposal plans but
withheld announcement of anyde
cision as to its recommendation on
either. .'"
The discussion disclosed that an
effort may be made in the Coming
biennium to pay for the agricul
ture f building, on which nearly
$8000 a year interest is being paid.
Roy Molls, state institutions man
ager, said the law providing for
amortization of this structure ap
parently was - inadvertently re
pealed a few years ago when leg
islation dealing with . the present
office building was revised.
Appropriation of the $88,000
needed to pay for the agriculture
building in fill would add more
than ; $73,000 to the impending
state budget deficit, but, it was
pointed out, would save the state

Browder, Kansas - born secre
tary and presidential candidate of
the communist party, was alleged
to have sworn falsely, when! ap
plying for a passport in 1934,! that

The Oregon Statesman today offers its readers, with pleas
ure and pride, what It believes to be a more readable, more
convenient, and more modern 'newspaper.
This effect is achieved by the substitution, in the first place,
of a new type dress for the type to which Statesman readers
have been used for a number of years.
The new type is known as "Linotype Excelsior," and repre
sents the most recent development of the type-designer's art,
in that It has been fashioned by experts to make reading as
easy as possible. It is in use nowhere else in Salem.
In using the Excelsior type-face, the editors of The" Oregon
Statesman have been careful to place it on a base wider than
the minimum which might be employed. This has been done
to allow additional white space between lines, and to promote
by still another means the cause of greater legibility. The extra
space which is thus required will be made up by the addition
of more pages to the daily and Sunday issues of The Statesman.
I In order to offer a comparison between the old and the new
types, a paragraph printed in the eight-point Century face for
merly used, and in the new seven and one-half point Excelsior
type are shown as follows:
The new type:
In discussing fifth column ac
tivities here he said "there is no
halfway house between despot
ism and democracy." The com
munist and nazi motives are the
same he said, their aim being to
create "confusion and distrust in
the ranks of America as a means
of destroying the capitlist system,
of overthrowing the American
constitution and of weakening our
national defense."
The use of the new type, however, is not the sole contribution
toward easier readability which is embodied in today's issue
of The Oregon Statesman.
New headline techniques have been employed throughout
the paper, and a significant change has been made in the appear
ance of the editorial page. Last Sunday, February 16, saw the
use of a second society and feature section in addition to the
regular Sunday Statesman, an innovation which is expected to
be permanent.- Other changes of a similar nature are now under
consideration, and will be announced at an appropriate time.
The Oregon Statesman, in making these alterations, has
not sought to follow rigorously along established stylebooks,
and has not sought to impose a style or taste arbitrarily upon
its readers. It has, instead, sought to make changes which are
in the direction of modernization and particularly 6f readability
which it believes will find favor with its readers and with the
public. It would warmly, appreciate comments on how well it
has -succeeded. . .. - tf, . :

Blow to Greeks
Seen in Turk,
Bulgar Pact
Possible -Armistice in
. Italian Conflict ;
'Expected Soon
1 By the Associated Press "
Turkey and Bulgaria signed a
non-aggression statement a
'.'modest document" in Ankara
Monday which some informants
interpreted as tacit proof Tur
key would remain aloof from
any German thrust against
Greece so long as it did not tap
Turkish borders.
However, the bi-lateral state
ment clearly said that existing
obligations with other countries
were not altered. Greek sources
said that stipulation was "encour
aging to Greece.
The only commitment in. the
Issued statement was that Turkey
and Bulgaria abstain from ag
gression, but axis sources took the
pact' to mean that Turkey de
spite her non-belligerent status as
an ally of Britain's would remain
within her own frontiers and not
aid Greece. Thus Greece might
be forcea to sue Italy for peace
or suffer possible German moves
against her.
British sources said this reaf
firmation of friendship was just
that, and that Turkey retained
her freedom of action should the
German army roll into Bulgaria.
Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru
Saracoglu himself called the pact
a "modest document which "per
haps can prevent complication in
the Balkans."
The Sofia Informants who
said Greece was in danger of
being left ent on a limb because
f tbe accord reasoned 0st
Turkey ' did m4 aid Greece
when she was attacked by Italy,
hence there was bo reason to
suppose the Turks would do so
should Germany eve against
that country especially in con
sideration of tbe fact that few
believe either Yugoslavia or
Bulgaria will deny German de
mands. Germany throughout the war
has striven to avoid opening up
two war fronts. Turkey still is the
big military riddle in the Balkans.
It was believed by a reliable in
formant in Sofia that soviet Russia
has put pressure on Turkey in fa
vor of German aims in southeast
ern Eurcpe." Some believed she
sought a promise of Turkish neu
trality in return for a nazi prom
ise to let Turkey alone.
Thus it is possible that only the
weather and time for final pol
ishing of axis plans hold German
troops from shoving on from occu
pied Rumania to the strategic vis
tas of the eastern Mediterranean
where more closely based planes
could smash at the Suez canaL
