Editor and Publisher Member at the a marts ted rraas . A cfaU Ptwo la eselasrvety satlUed U tho no for pohOodoa of an aewa ifcgatiiaaa aredtted to tt or ass alHsmtas orodltod ta this Congressional Committees . Since so much of legislation is determined by committees of congress it is well to Uke a look at the probable complexion of committee chairmen for the 80th congress. Republicans will organise -both houses. Congressman Joseph W. Martin will be elected speaker and Senator Arthur IL Vandenberg will prob ably be elected president pro tern to succeed Sen. Kenneth Mc Kellar. Committee chairmen will be determined by the party organization no member being given chairmanship of more than one important committee. Under the reorganization bill passed at the last session the number of senate committees will be reduced from 33 to 15 and at house committees from 48 to 19. This will force the shuffling of many committees and in the shuffle some present ranking minority members may not get the top spot. As viewed from the vantage point of the Washington pressbox the finger of destiny seems to point about as follows on major committees in the senate and house: Senate Foreign relations: Vandenberg to succeed Tom Connally of Texas. Finance: Taft to succeed George of Georgia. Education and Labor: Aiken of Vermont to succeed Murray of Montana. Appropriations: Bridges of. New Hampshire to succeed Mc Kellar of Tennessee. Armed Services (combination of military and naval af fairs): Chan Gurney of South Dakota. Thomas of Utah heads military affairs now and Walsh of Massachusetts naval affairs. Judiciary: Wiley of Wisconsin to succeed McCarran of Ne vada. Aoriculture and Forestry: Capper to succeed Thomas of Oklahoma. Banking and Currency: Tobey of New Hampshire or Butler of Nebraska to succeed Wagner of New York. Commerce: Brewster of Maine to succeed Bailey of North Carolina. House Agriculture: Hope of Kansas to succeed Flannagan of Vir ginia. Appropriation: Taber of New York to succeed Cannon of Missouri. Banking and Currency: Wolcott of Michigan to succeed Spenreof Kentucky. FWeign Affairs: Eaton of New Jersey to succeed Bloom of New York. Judiciary: Hancock of New York to succeed Sumners of t Texas. Armed ' Services: Andrews, of New York. May heads mili tary affairs now and Vinson of Georgia naval affairs. Rules: Allen of Illinois to succeed Sabath of Illinois. Ways and Means: Knutson of Minnesota to succeed Dough- ton of Nortlj Carolina. ; Tim mmi! (Continued from paga 1) suggestion, one which gets us somewhere because it will provide mora parking space. Certainly it is worth study by the cuy council or the planning commisison. ven so, simple matnemaucs will show that offstreet parking is only a partial solution. Single per son use of an automobile u a lux ury in the congested part of a city. The motorcar itself con sumes from 50 to 80 square feet of surface space. On a parking lot one must allow up towards 200 sq. ft. per car for parking and maneuver. One can figure the available space on close-in streets and vacant lots and see there isn't enough space to lef every person drive a car to work or to shop and find a convenient parking spot. Alternate forms of transporta tion are indicated: walking to and from work, bicycles, use of pub lic conveyances. The latter are most economical of space of all power - propelled vehicles. The number of square feet of street space required per passenger on a street bus is small. Traffic planning should not re gard 'the street bus as a nuisance or obstruction but as the vehicle causing the least problem as far as space is concerned in propor tion to its service. With metered parking perhaps more people will use the street bus. Unfortunately on soma routes its service is not as frequent as might be only three trips per hour. If the street bus is to do more in solving Sa lem's traffic problem it might con sider greater frequency of service and really campaign to get people to leave their cars at home and ride the bus. GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichty The south will lose the power it has exercised through con trol of numerous committee chairmanships. The changes in senate chairmanships are not so pronounced as far as political outlook goes, as in the house, where the republicans are tougher partisans. There is little doubt that the republican organization will move swiftly to consolidate its control and get down to work. It anticipates a kmger reign than the coming two years and will plan accordingly. meeting of the UN relations in behalf Mrs. Rooserelt Speaks for DPs Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt spoke up at a committee on humanitarian and cultural of displaced persona. Hers was a spirited reply to Mr. Vishinsky, deputy foreign minister for Russia who had previously urged that the 1,000,000 displaced persons in Europe -be sent back to the-countries of their origin. Mrs. Roosevelt, who previously in London bad objected to the Russian stand on the DP's, pro tested his proposal. She said bluntly that refugees from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania did not want to return to their native lands "since they had been absorbed by Russia because of the change in government, remarking: They prefer' aaeir home countries as they were before they left. They feel that their home countries do not belong to them now. Mrs. Roosevelt also refused to accept the soviet definition of demorrary. saying: Mr. Vi.hmsky does not seem to allow for differences in the zneMMng of tfee weed democracy. If It means strictly what the soviet government believes it means, then I am not sure he'll a cept some other countries of the world whose peoples bitieve thy -fcnve democracy and are just as willing to die for it as others are to protect it. The widow of the late president admonished Vishinsky "to strive to achieve a level of understanding and cooperation;' and expressed the hope that, our two great nations' could grow to understand each other and find means of permanent coope ration. The report says that the Russian deputy foreign minister .scribbled notes while she spoke and then left the meeting. Per haps be will give heed to what Mrs. Roosevelt said. At least he cannot rate her ss a "warmonger" and fascist. It was quite in character for Mrs. Roosevelt to make a plea for the unfortu- nites who huddle in DP camps in Europe as winter draws on. ' They ought to be dispersed into permanent dwelling places. Otherwise they continue to deteriorate as they remain beggars on the grudging bounty of other nations. Money Runs Down Hill Ju.t as states loan heavily on the federal government for funds for such activities as aid to aged and blind and children, for public health work, highway construction, etc., cities lean on the states for a share in state-collected revenues. There are 43 states which distribute funds to cities, the total amounting to about $400 million. Sharing comes chiefly from motor fuel taxes, motor license fees and liquor revenue Oregon share proceeds of gasoline tax with counties and cities, and a niggardly portion of its liquor commission re ceipts. The cities insist on a much Larger share of both. Schools share m state funds and under the mandate of the last election will set a more liberal slice of state revenues. Wp talk abowi home rule, but every unit of government has its tin ctm ewt to catch drippings from the upper roof of government. Under the leadership of its commander Harry K. Coffey, the Oregon civil air patrol Is preparing to organize lor search and rescue work for lost aviators. The army unit at McChord field which is .trained m this work has offered to assist local fliers In the training program. No provision has been made however to assist in defraying the expense of aerial search. A San Francisco high school is offering a course in "person ality development" for women. Subjects include posture, voice, conversation, dres and cosmetics. These appear to be the mod ern "fundamentals in place of the famous three R's" Fine training though for ' thav hatcheck $xij "rfr?t:: Mrs. Mix of Independence Dies in Salem INDEPENDENCE, Nov. 12 Mrs. Flora A.

Domestic rye supplies are the lowest on record and world pro duction for 1946 is expected to be about 16 per cent below the pre war average. Domestic supplies of rye this season are the small est since 1881 as a result of the lowest carryover stocks of record and the smallest crop since the drought of 1934. Production this year is estimated at 19 per cent below last year. Reflecting the short supply and the active de mand, rye prices are now three times the 10-year average. To re plenish, the small supply and to meet requirements, a national rye goal of -2,374,000 acres to be har vested for grain in 1947 has been announced.

Tho Safety 9 Valve LETTERS nOM STATESMAN BEAD EES DEFENDS DB. TOWNSEND To the Editor: According to your editorial of November 10 the Townsendites, being 'down' since the election. should have another kick for good measure. After numerous misrep resentations and , misstatements comes the statement in regard to Harvey and Wilcox. Yes, they re signed upon request. Dr. Town send organized on a democratic basis and the power thus given councilmen seems to have gone to the heads of certain ones and they tried to run off with the ball and to crowd Dr. Townsend out of the organization but when the lay club members became inform ed they promptly rallied around the doctor and sent messages as suring him of their confidence and 100 support. This is not the first time that the greedy and politically minded have tried to break up the or ganization. In fact it has been one continual fight with our op ponents who never favor any good for the rank and file but will ally themselves on the side of big mon ey which is ever our. relentless foe. Dr. Townsend has the humility and courage of true greatness. He will go down in history as one of the world's best thinkers. M. E. McCLELLAN.

Bartlett Urges Area Planning "You can't plan for a city with out affecting the development of the county, state and whole area," stated Jack Bartlett, consulting engineer for the Long -Range Planning commission, as he ap pealed for a "master plan" for the fast - growing northwest before members of the Junior Chamber of Gommerce Tuesday noon. He contended that planning is lacking in this section of the coun try and used illustrations of de tailed planning conceived by the Germans after the first world war as an example of long-range prep aration. Bartlett called for a master plan because "little plans are never accomplished, but once the com plete plan is down on paper, it provides its own inspiration to see the plan realized."
