Id H H HUB
One of the great reforms of, the
Julius Meier administration was
the inauguration "of the state po
lice. It represented a consolidation
of the former highway patrol,
game wardens, and the arson de
tection work of the insurance de
partment. The state police speedily
gained public favor and have re
tained it on the basis of their fine
record of accomplishment. The or
ganization is strictly professional,
untainted by political favor and
influence.
Now it is proposed to rip out
the division of the state police
dealing with enforcement of game
laws, and tor return this duty to
the game commission. Backing the
proposal are many sportsmen's
groups who have never been hap
py under the present system.
Game officials in other states are
quoted in support of the change
in plan, and members of the state
game commission, as individuals,
have backed it.
The chief argument advanced by
proponents of the change is that
wardens under authority of the
commission could do other work
than enforcement. They could
make speeches before wild life
groups, could advise fishermen
where the best fishing waters
were, could help feed the deer in
winter, etc Little complaint is
heard against the state police as
enforcing officers, save that it Is
alleged they travel in uniform, and j
the way to catch the game hogs
is to creep up on 'em incognito!
Without questioning the sincer
ity of many who advocate this
change I am by no means satisfied
as to its wisdom. It would rip

Oleo Cupcakes
In 6Poor Taste'
Sen. Maurine Neuberger,
Portland, concocted a novel
trick Monday in an attempt to
persuade her fellow house mem
bers to pass the bill to allow
sales of colored margarine in
Oregon.
She distributed cupcakes to
each member. On each cake
was a flag, bearing the words,
"this is a meritorious cupcake
and should be eaten."
Under each cupcake was a
napkin, containing a recipe for
the cakes, noting that oleo was
used to make them.
House Speaker John Steel

was going on and had Sergeant-at-Arms
Joe Vogelsang throw
all the cakes out.
Railroad Union
Pleads Guilty,
Fined $75,000
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-(iV)-Federal
Judge Edward A. Tamm
fined the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen $75,000 today after the
union made legal history by plead
ing guilty to contempt charges
arising from "sick" strikes in the
nearby Potomac yards!
Judge Tamm called the surprise
plea "unique." He said in all his
research he had never encountered
a plea of guilty by a labor union
in a similar case. Then he added:
"The court sees in this plea of
guilty a recognition on the part of
the union of its obligations and re
sponsibilities." Labor circles here wondered to
what extent today's precedent a
union assuming responsibility for
"wildcat" strikes would affect
other pending cases, and whether
it would help control wildcat tac
tics in the future.
Walkout involved in today's
proceedings tied up the great rail
freight center just south of here
in December and for; a 10-day pe
riod in January-February. They
were in effect at the same time as
similar strikes in many other cit
ies when large numbers of yard
men reported themselves sick.
In fixing the penalty, Judge
Tamm said he was fining the un
ion $50,000 for criminal contempt
of court as a "punitive" assess
ment. The additional $25,000, he
stated, was for civil contempt and
was intended to compensate the
government for the cost of legal
proceedings.

Finally Sheba broke free from
the lion's claws and vise-like jaws.
Mortally wounded, she dragged
back to her cage and dropped dead.
Beatty quickly brought the act
to an end and the snarling, mad
dened cats were i driven back to
their cages.
The veteran animal trainer said
Prince would stay in the show but
he was saddened at the loss of
Sheba, one of his star performers
since 1934- He said he planned to

"She was the whole act." Beatty
said. "I wouldn't have taken $10,

Suspends
Gall-Up
Washington, Veb. 19 -jp-
Thej air force today indefinitely
suspended its plan to recall some
80,000 voluntary reserve officers
and enlisted men to active duty.
The air force said the change
in program was made possible by
the j volume of voluntary enlist
ments and re-enlistments.
Ift a surprise move coming only
a month after the recall program
was! announced, the air force said
it is cancelling all notices sent to
18,000 airmen (enlisted men) and
will release those who already
have reported after they have gone
through processing.
This does not apply, however,
to ah estimated 2,000 enlisted spe
cialists in critical types of work.
Voluntary reserve officers al
ready recalled to active duty will
continue to serve, but the air force
will; suspend additional calls for
sucli officers.
Today's action applies only to
the group known as volunteer re
serve airmen and officers who had
been involuntarily called to duty.
it does not apply to the organ
ized reserve those men serving in
regular reserve uits. In addition,
anyivolunteer reservists who want
to stay on duty may do so if they
meet the requirements.
The air force's volunteer reserve
corrjesponds roughly to the inac
tive! reserve categories of the
army, navy and marine corps.
The recall program announced
January 18 covered both the or
ganized reserves and air national
guard units as well as the volun
teer! reserves. The air force had
planned to call up most of the 60,
000 volunteer reserve airmen and
about .20,000 of the 240,000 volun
teer reserve officers.

; to defeat the bill. J -
t Rep. Paul Geddes, ' Roseburg,
! carried the ball for those seekina
to repeal Oregon' 34-year-old ban
on sales of colored oleo. t -
He said that Rep. V. TiJackscai.
Roseburg, a backer of repeal and
the only foods and dairying com
mittee member voting for passage
of the bill, was "naive enough to
come to the legislature thinking
members would vote fori the will
of the people."' .
Opposes Vote Trading '
. If every member of the house
would vote for his convictions, not
trade votes and represent the peo
ple we would have 60 votes for
sales of colored margarine," Gtd-
oea declared. ' ' f
"Just why we should have a law
ox this type, I cant understand.
The people of Oregon want colored
margarine. The only interests be
ings protected by this color ban
are the interests of monopolistic
dairy group." .
Negative Approach J
Geddes said "no amount of era
are taking a negative approach by
fighting colored margarine, assert
ing they should advertize their
products instead of stifling compe
tition.. , i
"The dairy interests are cutting
their own throats," Geddes told
the house. "Public resentment is
being built up to sweep- out all
la ws protecting the dairy indus
try. Repeal of milk control will be
next. When the people wake up,
the dairy interests will suffer."
Geddes said "no amount of ora
tory will change a single vote
here today. But the law is wrong
in that there is not another law
in Oregon which protects a single
interest such as the dairy inter
est." :. -
- Rep. Jack Greenwood, Wemme,
said Oregon dairy industry, is as
old as the state and should be pro
tected to Insure the state's econ
omy. i
Rep. Earle Fisher, Beaverton,
said . sales of colored margarine
would result in people being de
ceived in restaurants who would
serve it instead of butter, and
would result in more business for
margarine interests "below the
Mason-Dixon line." f
Changed Names r
The southern cottonseed inter
ests couldn't sell their product un
der its true name, so they put
the words 01e' and 'Margy to
gether to make it sell," FUher
quipped. They would Iname it
'Good Night, Irene' if that would
make it sell better." i
; Representative Neuberger said
that margarine "is the poor man's
butter. I would like a Cadillac or
Lincoln, but it's obvious why I'm
not driving one. By the same token
I think butter is now In the Cadil
lac class." , - s
