In the contest for republican
nomination for state treasurer the
republicans suffer from an em
barrassment of richer. Three men
of competence and integrity are
candidates; and the state treasury
will be safe in the bands of any
of the three. The same may be
said of the lone democratic candi
date too for that matter.
For myself I need three votes
one for Ormond Bean, whom "in
my day" I appointed as public
utilities commissioner; one for
Senator Howard Belton, . a long
time personal friend; and one for
young Sig Unander who served as
assistant to the governor under
my appointment until he went to
war. Since a person has only one
vote I have to make a choice
and will make it for Unander who
has been somewhat of a protege
of mine.
Each of these candidates has
special qualifications which de
serve to be set forth. Ormond Bean
has had long experience in ad
ministrative work. He was city
commissioner of Portland in
charge of public works and then
served four years very ably as
state public utilities commission
er. During the war he held very
important administrative positions
for government agencies. In Ha
waii, In Puerto Rico and in Egypt.
His work dealt largely with trans
portation problems and . he ren
dered very valuable service to the
government in these positions. His
past record of achievement gives
assurance' that as state treasurer
the office would be well handled.
Howard Belton lives on a farm
near Canby. He operates his farm
successfully and still finds time
to engage in public affairs. He is
recognized as a leader and in the
senate where he has served for
many years he has been one of
the really strong members. He
served one term as president of

Gov. Hall Urges
Fund Used for
State Hospital
GRANTS PASS, May 8.-(-Governor
Hall said use of surplus
income tax funds is the only prac
tical solution for "lamentable con
ditions" at the state hospital, in a
speech here last night.
A friendly suit now is pending
in circuit court over use of the
income tax funds for this purpose.
"There are 2,700 patients in a
virtual firetrap designed at best to
house only .2,200," the governor
told the Lions club. "Every time
I hear the Salem fire department
answer a call I tremble at the
thought that it might be headed
for the hospital. Should a fire
break out there it would be a ho
locaust." Fire escapes have not been pro
vided, the governor said. Even if
there were, they would be useless
because the windows are barred.

Marshall Tells
Opposition to
U.N. Revision
WASHINGTON. May 5 -(JP)-Secretary
of State Marshall said
today that the western world must
be made strong enough to con
vince the Russians that commun
ism can't rule the globe.
He told the house foreign af
fairs committee that there must
be a "balance of power" such as
there was when the United Nations
was formed so that no big
power would dare break the peace
if the others stood united.
Marshall spoke firmly against
congressional proposals, which the
committee Is considering, to re
build the United Nations "with or
without Russia."
If the Soviet Union is shut out,
be said, the "community of na
tions" would be broken into rival
armed groups and "this result
would weaken us and expose us
to even greater dangers from those
who seek domination of other
states."

Farmers Co-op
Building Blaze
City police and firemen were
standing guard early this morning
in the Farmers Union cooperative
building, S4S N. Commercial st,
where fire of undetermined origin
threatened to destroy the entire
structure Wednesday night
Fast work by firemen, called to
the scene at 8.05 p. m. was credited
with controlling the blaze before
it burned the wood building.- The
fire started on the floor of. the sec
ond story in two separate offices,
and caused extensive damage
throughout the upper story before
being controlled.
One fire was In a front office
on the east side of the building
and burned out completely a
large section of floor. The other
blaze, in a rear office on the west
side, caused minor damage. Walls
in the front office were blistered
by the intensive heat and a near
by desk telephone was literally
melted out of shape.
Firemen controlled the fire a
short time after arriving on the
scene, but remained about two
hours to guard against a reoccur
ance in the floor section.
The blaze was reported by a
passerby who saw flames leaping
through the office. No estimate of
the damage had been made early
this morning.
the power shortage in the region
has reached an acute stage, and
future power needs are continually
growing. Only by completion of the
Bonneville Power administration's
advance program of construction
on schedule is a solution possible.
"In fact, it would be good busi
ness policy to revise laws govern
ing the BPA so that it would have
direct control over its finances,
subject to existing obligations.
Then, it would not have to go, hat
in hand, annually to congress in
quest of uncertain appropriations.
"Acceptance of the European
Recovery program is a fateful step
in American foreign policy, but it
offers the only road to peace. Ad
ministration of the program must
be efficient and flexible and avoid
big stick diplomacy.
"Positive means must be taken
to halt any abrupt and deeply
downward thrust in prices, bring
ing hardship to farmers, small
businessmen and Individual work-
"A series of laws should result
from the president's civil rights
program for the protection of ra
cial and religious minorities.''
