Previously he had Van's en dorsement for a place in conformity- with an old understanding when Hickenlooper of Iowa was given a preference over Morse. . There is nothing to' indicate that Morse is any more accept able to the ruling heads of the senate minority now than in Jan uary. However those who are sen ior to him may be . reluctant to give up other committee berths where, their seniority rank is high to take a place at the foot of the table' on foreign affairs. ! Morse contends that the . Pa cific coast is entitled to represen tation " on the foreign relations committee. Those on the commit tee from states nearest this coast are - Connally of Texas and Gil lette and Hickenlooper of Iowa. Knowland of California would like., the spot, but Morse is his senior in point of service in the senate.- - , With his knowledge of law and history and of this coast Morse should make a very able mem ber of the committee. He is by no means a party maverick on funda mental issues. He contended vig orously against some of the views of President Truman and Secre tary Marshall on the troops-to-Europe matter.

(Statesman photo.) Salem Fi Submits Low Courthouse Bid By Winston H. Taylor Staff Writer. The Statesman . All bids opened Thursday for the new Marion county courthouse were nearly a half-million dollars in excess of available funds, but the possibility was good that Viesko and Post of Salem would be awarded the general contract, if .specifications can be negotiated to reduce the cost. , '. " : j The county court 'opened five low at $2,033,708,' or. cut by alter nate specifications, low at $119,- 388. The primary bids ranged up to $2,398,275 by J, G. Watts Con struction Co., Seattle. The court, which has $1,375,000 available now and will levy an other $250,000 on July 1, is to consult the district attorney for a decision as to whether it can nego tiate with the low bidder for a contract with specifications chang ed to bring it within the funds reach.- . - - Hopeful for Go-Ahead Both members of the court and of the courthouse commission, an advisory body, were hopeful that some equipment items might be removed from the general contract and provided out of budget funds. They expressed the thought that residents of the county are "ready for a courthouse" to replace the 75-year-old structure, but stress ed that it was not their desire to exclude essential . portions of the new building. The alternates on which con tractors bid were to leave three of six courtrooms unfinished and un furnished and to use steel rather than aluminum in window frames. Bids Not Excessive ' The lower bid figures would put the cost per square foot at slight ly more than $15,- which commis sion members said was not exces sive for that type of construction, which will include marble facing in order to fit in with, the capitol group. The four - story and -basement structure would have approximat ely 126,000 square feet of floor space, - as designed by architect Pietro Belluschi, Portland. , Other items which it was thought ' might be ; omitted for the present and secured when the need was greater included a part of the jail; cell equipment and a jail laundry. The specifications as bid; upon included such other equip ment as a jail kitchen, courtroom benches and railings, office coun ters.' . ,-' """.. - The basic bids opened yesterday were $2,038,708 by Viesko and Post; $2,075,000 by C.

The petition "was filed by Ray mond Kell, state Grange attorney, on behalf of -the Oregon State Grange, state Farmers union. State Federation of ! Labor and Oscar Loe, Silverton cooperative official. . The action is in the form of a petition for alternative writ of mandamus either revoke the Ap ril 5 order for fast time or show cause why it should not be can celed. ' .. , - The petition . is based on two principal premises that Governor Douglas McKay's order was pre mature, since only California of the four bordering states had pro claimed DST and its plan would not go' into effect until April 30, and that the governor made no showing as to how the sttate's economy and general welfare were placed at a material disadvantage by lack of uniformity in time among the adjacent states. They hold that the law approved last fall by the electorate gives the governor authority to proclaim daylight saving time only if and when all neighboring states have done so. Attorney General George Neuner had given the governor, a ruling that one bordering state's action was sufficient to meet that requirement Sewage Disposal Plant Pro ject Begun at Dallas DALLAS, April 26 ' Long awaited construction of Dallas' new sewage disposal plant is un derway.

His arrest became known today, almost 72 hours after he disappeared. Three , Czech agents seized Oatis Monday night while he was putting his automobile in a garage. The government an nouncing it had witnesses to prove the charges against him, indicated he would face a communist trial. The government announcement came after U.S. Embassy Coun selor Tyler Thompson had asked for an urgent inquiry into Oatis' disappearance. Tyler, when told Oatis was in jail, demanded first orally and then by formal note to be permitted to interview the cor respondent. The Czech foreign ministry told Thompson his re quest would be looked into. In New York Frank J. Starzel, general manager of the Associated Press, said the AP knows no basis for Oatis' arrest and will give him all possible assistance. The American correspondent is 37 and served in the U.S. army during World War II. Before his disappearance, Oatis had compained to the U.S. embassy that he was being followed 24 hours a day, -presumably by secret agents. But he had written nine days ago to his New York head quarters that he hoped to return to Prague following his home leave this summer.

Conway CHICAGO, April 6-(j'P-General MacArthur told a cheering crowd in Soldier Field tonight he will continue to fight for "a positive and realistic policy" in the far east. - The "old soldier," speaking from a spotlighted platform in the huge lake front amphitheatre, raised the question: -"What is our policy for Korea?" He said "our losses there in ra tio to men committed already have reached staggering proportions.' The "tragedy" of this, he de clared, is that since the Chinese reds joined in the fighting our policy has been in a "vacuum."

The throngs in the vast 100,-000-seat stadium cheered ' him when he reached the stadium in an open car. The car slowly cir cled a track around the border of the. grassy infield. He was show ered with confetti. Sparklers glit tered as he was greeted by a 17 gun salute. . The family enjoyed a warm re ception from a topcoated - crowd that half-filled the stadium in 43 degree chill on the breezy lake front .
