It looks very much as though a start may be made this year, say in the third quarter. In -fact indications point to a general relaxing of restrictions on construction. According to a Washington report to the Wall Street Journal: Top Government planners are working out a icheme to turn builders loose on a lot of com mercial and industrial building that's been curbed. During the second half of this year they expect to give the green light to all such pro jects for which construction applications have been filed to date. Unless the officials change their minds, this means at least 1,100 proposed office buildings, banks, stores, garages, and other commercial structures will begin sprouting or at least be given the right to sprout across the nation. These are valued at around $800 million. Build ing applications for them are on file. The releasing of tight restrictions can be at tributed to increase in supply of materials above quantities needed for rearmament. Steel prod uction is increasing; and so is the production of other metals like copper, lead, zinc, aluminum. Moreover the stretching out of military spend ing slackens the current requirement for de fense industries and leaves more stuff for civil ian use. The contemplated loosening of government controls doesn't embrace throwing off all shack les. For example, entertainment and recreation al structures would not get the green light. But industrial and commercial projects will be able to go ahead, surely by the fourth quarter when structural steel will be in bigger supply. Salem can use some big construction jobs this year. Work on buildings has been lacking this winter and a revival will be most welcome. Residence construction is still going on, but not on as generous a scale as in recent years. The assurance of abundance of materials however will stimulate home building. Construction is one of the pillars of a healthy economy. Keep construction in progress and la bor is employed as well as capital, and the flow of -materials from mine and factory is maintain ed. Hence word that government restrictions may be relaxed is encouraging, coming as it does at the start of the normal building season. Morse Assistant Named to NLRB Not much noticed out here was the appoint ment of Ivar H. Peterson as member of the Na tional Labor Relations Board and his confirma tion by the Senate. Peterson was serving as exe cutive assistant to Sen. Wayne L. Morse, but he is not an ex-Oregonian, and so little attention was given to his selection for a top post in NL RB. Previously he had been employed as a law yer by the Board, so is familiar with its work. Though Morse is known to be on friendly terms with organized labor, Peterson's appoint ment brought no objection from conservatives. According to U. S. News and World Report Petersen is regarded as neither pro- nor anti labor, but one disposed to interpret the law im partially, with no preconceived views. It may be assumed that Morse's frequent sup port for administration policies helped smooth the path for Peterson's promotion. Morse like wise is given a large measure of credit for the recent appointment of Abbot L. Mills of Port land to the Federal Reserve Board, one of the Eisenhower Must Capture GOP Political Machines, Not Just Support From Public Br J. M. R03EBTS, J. AT News AKjUyaC Barring unforeseen develop ments such as softening of the brain, my career as a political expert enaea in 148. I was out of the country -during good part of that campaign, and dropped a buck to a friend in Paris because I listened to a lot of experts who, reaching out to grasp straws in the wind, came up only with a handful or chair. So watching the New Hamp shire returns come in Tuesday night, the first thought was of the value of straws, and of the furore created around an ex pression of views by one small group in one small state. .The experts call it a sweeping Eisenhower victory, and I guess he did very well for an inactive candidate. But he had Gov. Adams and the state's top Republicans car rying the ball, whereas Taft's campaign was brief and largely personal. Taffs chief reliance is in the party machines over the country, and the significant thing Is whether Eisenhower can cap ture enough machines. That is not infrequently an entirely different matter from popularity with the public. There doesn't seem to be much oram for argument with the pre mise that President Truman took a kicking around from New Hampshire Democrats. He prob ably wishes that his political ad risers had not argued him out of bis original feeling that prefer ential primaries are eyewash. But the first question to mind, remembering how he got his lander up in '48, is whether he will now feel that he must run again rather than let folks say he quit in the face of possible de- feat. His press secretary says Jew Hampshire will have no ef fect on that decision. If I hadn't quit political experting, I'd ask anna bet?" Even eyevash has Its effect on vision. urn Btatc8tuatt MUNMt ISA, No word has come from the Pentagon as to discipline taken against Maj. Gen. Grow who let his diary fall into the hands of Russian agents at Frankfurt, Germany. Maybe there is nothing in the rulebook to bar officers for setting down matter of such potential damage to his country, or from failing to keep it properly guarded; but it is in order for the Pentagon to repudiate the content of that diary which called for war on Russia, "now. Kefauver showed the Yankees the type of campaigning which gave him his senatorial victory over the Crump machine in Ten nessee. But he's sunk with the national Democratic party, and Russell of Georgia supersedes him with the an ti -Truman Demo crats of his native south, so at best he seems to be merely lay ing the foundation for a future voice and perhaps future can didacies, v One cannot but wonder in a sort of aside what MacArthur would have done as an avowed and active candidate with a slate of delegates. The New Hampshire f---isrrr'r irrrrtr- , wu'.rrj'T Congressional Quiz Q How much did fanners make last rear? A Farmer's net income the amount that's left after produc tion costs are taken out totaled $15 billion and showed an in crease for the first time since 1947, when net farm income was $17.1 billion. Farm income in 1950 was $12.7 billion. In recent years, per capita income of per sons living on farms has ranged from 52 to 63 per cent of non farmers' per capita income, ac cording to the Agriculture De partment. Q Whe weald r te the Walt Hmm If sinnettitwg happened to the President an Yiee-rraa-dent? A The job of Acting President would go to the Speaker of the House. If there was no Speaker, the President of the Senate would serve. If for some reason no Senate President pro tern was in office, the cabinet member heading the department highest on the following list would act as President: Department of State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, Post Office, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce and Labor. Q What are "wetbacks? A Mexican laborers illegally entering the United States in quest of jobs. The term "wet most important financial posts in the govern ment. Maybe there is some advantage In having on who can traflick with the opposition. Seattle Rejects Fluorine in "Water By a decisive vote citizens of Seattle rejected the proposal to add fluorine to the city's water supply as a preventive of tooth decay. This has been an issue in many cities; but Seattle is the first coming to our attention to reject the idea by popular vote. Opposition was varied. Some fear it may do other damage to the human body. Others want ed delay until the use of fluorine could be more fully tested. Members of Christian Science Churches protested its use as contrary to their beliefs. The assembled opposition was too much for the proponents as was proven when the votes were counted. Perhaps it is just as well to go slow with this mixing of chemical with drinking water. If un der long trial it does prove itself a preventive of tooth decay and does not prove deleterious in other respects then it will come into general use eventually, just as chlorine is added to wa ter now to destroy bacteria. The Seattle vote is only a preliminary recording of popular opinion. Nineteen persons were injured In a head-on collision of two buses on the overpass south of Eugene on Highway 99. Considering the size of vehicles'using the highways and the narrowness of old bridges it is surprising that there are not more crashes on bridges. This bridge will soon be superseded because the new Eugene-Goshen rOad is well on the way to completion. But there are scores of other narrow Bridges which will remain a menace for some time to come. General De Gaulle orates against the North Atlantic Pact. Instead he calls for a World Pact, to tie in Europe, Africa and Asia. Would this leave out the Americas? If neighboring coun tries with similar political conceptions and cul tures can't join hands in common defense what chance is there for a world pact? If one were seriously proposed De Gaulle would be against it. He is for France, and fearful of anything which compromises France's sovereignty. That is why he is so difficult. It is to be hoped that out of the conference of state agencies called by Governor McKay some agreement may come relative to Pelton Dam which will permit its construction to pro ceed, under reasonable requirements respecting fish. The Deschutes is one of the best power streams in the West because-of its nearly con stant flow. It is also a fine fishing stream; and will remain so even If certain stretches of the river are devoted to reservoirs for power gen eration. We just can't get everything for the same stream power can claim a priority, in our judgment, for the projects proposed. Democrats went to town with scattered write-in protests against th Truman administration; MacArthur, who did not choose to run, got nearly 3,000 Repub lican votes. The primary at tracted a degree of interest over the country comparable with that of , an important election. New Hampshire broke its own voting record. Eisenhower got a majori ty of the vote over three other candidates on the ballot and three who received write-ins, includ ing MacArthur, which doesnt al ways happen in a primary. Some people said they voted for Taft because they liked his father, who was president 40 years" ago. 78" back" comes from the fact that many of the border-jumpers gain entry by swimming the Rio Grande. A bill to give the Immi gration Service more authority to arrest illegally entered aliens was passed by the Senate Feb. 3. Q I se a lot of postcards in ay business, la there any move to repeal the 19 per cent extra charge as qnanity purchases? A A dozen Representatives have introduced similar bill to abolish the 10 per cent surcharge on postcards sold in batches of 50 or more. The measures were referred to the Post Office and Civil Service Committee. Q What's the raw far the bill to baa llqnor ads frem radie and TV? I never see er bear each ads anyway. A Sen. Id win C Johnson (D Colo.), a sponsor of the bill, said he believed the liquor in dustry "contemplates the use of television and radio for liquor ads "in the not too distant fu ture.' Numerous religious groups testified in favor of the bill. at committee hearings, but a liquor group spokesman said the mea sure was "prohibition propagan da" and a CIO representative called it an attack with the mo tive of restoring prohibition.

There the labor vote was assumed to be hostile to. him. Again, as in th industrial cities of Ohio in 1950 Taft won out, which will be used to offset fears of bis un popularity with laboring groups. The Wisconsin primary which comes next offers no test be tween Taft and Eisenhower, for the latter is not entered in that competition. Taft will compete there with Stassen and Warren. Stassen should make a better showing than in New Hamp shire; but the odds still seem to be on Taft. New Hampshire offered only a local decision. Neither Taft nor Truman is put out of the run ning; but for once they can com miserate with each other. Bettor English Br D. C. WILLIAMS 1. What is wrong with this sentence?

Jersey Budget Allots $13,000 For Promotion Br LILXJE L. MADSEV Farm Editor. The Statesman Jersey cattle and their prod ucts will be promoted to the tune of $13,200 in 1952 If the budget presented at the Oregon Jersey Cattle Club directors' meeting at Senator Hotel Wednesday is ac cepted. A budget, covering this amount for Jersey promotion, was pre sented by George Genteman of Independence and favorably com mented upon. It will be voted upon at the April meeting of the direc tors. Included in the Jersey promo tion program is the All -Jersey milk plan, a consignment sale, youth work, and "daily further ance of the Jersey breed." The All-Jersey milk, a hightest product, will go op the market un der its trade name-shortly in Ore gon City, Albany, Carlton and coastal points. The consignment sale to be knowji as the "First Annual Jer sey Classic" will be held June 21 at the Pacific International Livestock Exposition, Portland. John Hobin, Sauvies Island, will head the sale's committee. Ap proximately 40 head of better than 500-pound butterfat producers or the offspring of such producers, will be offered for sale. Harvey Christenson of Wapato, Wash., has been retained to cry the event. The youth program includes items such as the Junior Jersey Sale held at Hillsboro, Feb. 25, the Junior Dairy Day at Nyssa on Feb. 2, and the furtherance of dairy 4-H clubs. ' Show Dates Set Spring shows were discussed with dates released for Malheur County Club, May 17; Clackamas show, May SO; Clackamas sale, May 31, and Yamhill show, June 7. Polk County will not hold a show, and Marion County will, but will set the date definitely at its Sunday, March 16, meeting at the Fred Davis home. Wood burn. The milk hearing set by the state milk control committee for March 18, at Oregon City drew considerable fire. John Gale, state milk committee chairman for the Jersey club, explained the hear ing was called to consider allot ments to producers on 100-weight and 4 per cent butterfat-test basis. Gale said that milk control should be used "sparingly", as "each con trol added takes away another freedom". He went on to say that he felt the proposed method com ing up for hearing would not make a "fair pay-out on milk values according to Dr. G. A. Richard son's findings at Oregon State College." To Choose Committee Marlin Fox, president of the state club, and who presided Wed nesday, will select his committee" to appear at the hearing. Present at the Wednesday meet ing were Marlin Fox, Molalla;Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cox, Gresham; Mr. and Mrs. John Gale, Canby: Levi McKee, Perrydale; Floyd Bates, Salem, director of the na tional Jersey Cattle Club; Paul fleeder, Portland; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Couche, Sheridan; Robert Romerill, Portland, state Jersey fieldman; Werner Plays and Paul Astteford, Tillamook; George Gen temann, and Joe Ridge, Independ ence: Lyell Gardner, Gaston; Mar vin Lorensen, Dayton; I.
