t-Tb. SMwao.- Orton.- MoHdo: 'Km M.' H9 Judge Page Reported Under Consideration for High Court - Speculation continued Sunday over who will succeed the late Percy R. Xelly on the Oregon supereme court .with persistent reports in some quarters that Circuit Jodge E. M. Pag of Marion county was under consideration. f Gov. Douglas McKay and Judge Page have been -close personal friends for many years, and the latter is regarded by many attorneys nd others as one of the outstand lng circuit Judges in the state. Kelly, who died Tuesday, was m?mber of the supreme court for IS years after serving as circuit Judge in Linn county for a long period. f The anointment will be made by Governor McKay probably within day or two following his return from Colorado Springs, Colo., and Washington, D. C, late this week. Governor McKay, prior to his de- fiarture for the east last Thursday, ndicated he had not determined red to make the appointment as wm as no&sible. Close friends of the governor said a lot of pressure had origin ated in Portland but that 4ho ap pointee probably would ccme fromK outside of Multnomah ccur.tr. It was pMnted out that three mem bers of the court are frcm Port land Mall S. Lusk, chief justice; and Justices J. O. Bailey and George Rpssman. Other pecula .Utn centered on an eastern Ore w apiwintmenT" due to the fact that all members of the present court, with the exception of Ar thur I. Hay, Lakeview, are from west of the Cascade mountains. Ji'stu e Harry H. Belt came to the court from Yamhill and Polk counties and Justice James T. Brand from Coos county. Scientists Balk Proviso in Bill WASHINGTON, June 19-OVA scientists group balked today at a Iya'.ty oath proviso in a bill to ' up a government science pro gram. They want it taken out and the bill passed. It is about to come up in the house probably this week or next. The affidavits would apply to candidates for science scholar ship and fellowships of a pro posed national research founda tion, 'i Such affidavits are dangerous "because of the state of : mind they reflect and impose" besides they are "valueless as security precautions," the scientists said. The view was expressed by the administrative committee of the Fed;i;tion of American Scientists after a meeting at Cambridge, M . The committee statement point ed to the controversy in conjjrr y over the handlir.s ot such schn' j ship program of the atomic energy ures and observed: '"Our ertfire sr nlific research program is threatened by a pro gressive encroachment of security considerations On freedom of in quiry." Rep. Priest (D-Tenn). predict ing the house would pass the bill "overwhelmingly," told a reporter be thinks all its provisions will Stdod. , Priest said he could appreciate the scientists' viewpoint, but he contended- the measure taken as a "whole provides for academic freedom and research with a min imum of government regulations. The affidavit, provision reflect house thinking. Priest said, and wm insisted on in houe commit ter by "a rather large vote." - The bill would require persons g?ttihg the science scholarships to swear they are not members or believers in any organization fav oring violent or illegal overthrow of the government. This is not a part of a similar blM which has passed-the senate. The atomic commission recently Imposed a loyalty, non-communist oath on all 497 persons certified for it scholarships. It .did so af ter congress put on havy pres sure upon learning a communist had received such a fellowship.

With ou ideas; of democracy imperiled tjy poverty and disease throughout j the world, we find a market place in the United Na tions for spreading the contagion or our democratic prineipl Judge Kenyon said. "But it is not rnough just to persuade . . . we must practice democracy- if we want it to pre vail." She cited three; tests for de termining the success or failure of our own democracy: 1. In the political field, can all citizens vote without discrimina tion or fear of reprisal? Free Expression 2. In the field of thought, can we think land express our opin ions on all subjects freely? Can we be taught to think for our selves by ; teachers and scholars uwho in turn are free to think for themselvei . . . 'in this time of jhysteria over relations of com- mumst plotting? 3. In the field of human rights, is there freedom and opportunity for all "without distinction?" Judge Kenyon said that if we can pass j these tests "we have come a long way In the conquest of our new frontiers and toward fulfillment of the dream in every person's heart thedream of world peace, security, justice and free dom."

Denliam Vies With NLRB For Power By Max Hall WASHINGTON, June 1MP) Tbe latest and most serious feud between the national labor relations board and its independ ent general counsel came into the open again today. General Counsel Robert N. Den- ham, it was learned, has handed the five-man board a strongly worded statement asking recon sideration of a decision issued by the board a month ago. He suggested that the board has usurped" his functions. He said the board has written into the Taft-Hartley act "feat ures that not only are not there" but also were "intentionally omit ted" by congress. The dispute is over this ques tion: whether the board has a right to refuse to consider unfair labor practice cases which "Den ham brings before it Claims Power Denham says the board has no such right, since the law gives him sole power to decide whether or not to prosecute cases. But on May 16 the board, in a unanimous decision, threw OUt j two cases one against an employ- j er and one against a union even I though Denham had issued form al complaints and conducted leng thy prosecutions. i The cases involved two photo graphic stores in San Pedro, Calif., and Tucson, Ariz., and the board said their effect on interstate com merce was too remote to bring them under the Taft-Hartley law. Board Disputes The board also said there is nothing to indicate that congress concluded "only the general coun- sel had the wisdom" to determine what actions would carry 'out the policies of the Taft-Hartley act. Denham, in his motion for re consideration, said those policies and the means of carrying them out must bo found solely in tho law and not "in some unidenti fied region where they carry on a mysterious existence independent of tho statute that gave them be ing." .
