This comes to mind with reading that the Bend Bul letin is to have a new owner. So long has it been the reflection of its editor and publisher, Rob ert W. Sawyer, that an Oregon Ian doesn't think of one without the other. Thi prestige and in fluence of the Bulletin are by no means measured by the sixe of its circulation list or of the community .for which it long has been the leading spokesman. Judge Sawyer has made it a power in state and nation; and there will be a general and pro found feeling of regret that after 40 years of work on the paper he is yielding control to other and younger hands. I have rated Bob Sawyer as Oregon's most useful citizen" of the last quarter century. His manifold interests: reclamation, highways, conservation, roadside bea unification, forestry manage ment, hospitals, state capitol de velopment, Oregon history have made him an institution himself. Fortunately in laying aside the duties of editing a daily paper he will have even more time to devote to these interests on which he qualifies as an authority. Among editors.

The Soviet note proposed that a conference of big power foreign ministers should now be called for the purpose of dealing with gen eral international tensions and the problem of German unification, with the Chinese Communists to sit in on the international tensions phase. "Obscure, Confusing" American officials, reportedly in cluding Secretary of State Dulles, called the Soviet note obscure and confusing. The State Department charged it was "evasive" and rep resented "dilatory tactics" in re sponse to Western proposals for a Big Four meeting on Germany. The action part of the Soviet note, the proposal for a confer ence, was read by some experts as actually calling for two con ferences. Others thought it called for one conference of two parts. German Problem , The idea was that Big Four for eign ministers would talk about Germany, which is the heart of East-West problems in Europe, while Red China would sit in and make the meeting a Big Five ses sion when the talk turned to broad er world problems, including Asian matters. The note was similar to previous messages from Moscow on the sub ject of a high-level meeting. What ever else it may have been de signed to do. it certainly seemed aimed at putting pressure on the United States with respect to Red China and probably to make that a major issue in bickering on American calls for early talks on German unification. Swart Sees Need for 3rd Bridge Risin rr Marion County Eingineer Hed da Swart predicted Tuesday that a third bridge will have to be built across Willamette River at Salem to handle increasing traf fic Swart believes bridge will be needed within the next 10 years at the westerly end of Mission Street to carry traffic originat ing in Central Oregon and using Santiam Highway en route to the coast According to the engineer, this traffic would funnel into Mission Street just west of Lan caster Road and a bridge at the west end of Mission Street would by-pass the traffic around Salem business district The bridge, said Swart, would cross the slough at Mission Street to' Brown's Island, then cross the main channel of the Willamette at a point near the intersection of Southern Pacific railroad tracks snd Dallas Road.

'.POUNDEID '' 1CCHD YEAH Choiceof Expected WASHINGTON W President Eisenhower's first anDointment to the Supreme Court is expected to go perhaps Wednesday to Gov. Earl Warren of California. Reports persisted, and were wide ly published, that Warren would be made chief justice of the United States, succeeding the late Fred M. Vinson, The announcement could come at Eisenhower's scheduled news conference Wednesday.' The way was cleared Tuesday when Atty. Gen. Brownell submitted a formal recommendation to the President White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty declined to am plify his announcement of Brown ell's call at the White House, or to say when the appointment might be made. He repeated his stock answer to such Questions: "When we have appointments to announce, they will be announced." But official Washington widely accepted the reports that Warren would be named. So strong was that belief among Congress men bers and government officials that any other selection would come as a big surprise. The reports tagged Warren for the top post, despite earlier talk in some quarters that the chief justiceship might go to one of the eight present associate justices whom Warren then would replace. Ernst Reuter, West Berlin Mayor, Dies BERLIN Ufi Lord Mayor Ernst Reuter, militant leader of West Berlin's fight against Communism, died unexpectedly at his home Tues day night of a heart attack, tie was 64.

East Coast Waterfront Strike Near NEW YORK im Federal medi ators Tuesday warned government agencies to brace for an East Coast waterfront strike at midnight Wednesday.

Shippers have offered 8 cents. The pres ent basic wage is $2.27 an hour. Late Tuesday the employers flat ly rejected the ILA demands and said they would ask the govern ment to invoke the ' Taft-Hartley Law. State Officials Call for Portland Milk Price Rise PORTLAND ( Oregon milk control officials advocated a price increrse "u?sday at Portland's second milk price hearing in three weeks. Thomas L.

The Commission bought every thing tha Communists wanted," he said. ' The U. N. Command has vigor ously opposed both points. It con tended that prisoners could be in timidated in individual interviews and that no prisoner should be forced to hear a sales talk on re turning home. The explanations were scheduled to begin Thursday, but a further postponement appeared likely be cause of a dispute over the loca tion and design of "explanation centers." The explanations had been postponed from last Saturday. The centers, in the demilitarized zone, were built for the processing of nearly 23,000 prisoners, 22,600 of them prisoners of the Allies who have repeatedly refused to return to Red rule. The rest are Allied POWs. Altogether, there are 23 rules for the explanations. They prohibit "any act of force or threat of farce" to prevent or compel captives to make their choice. This rule, if observed strict ly, could satisfy Allied insistence that no bullying be allowed by Communist "persuaders." Senator Joe Takes Bride In Quiet Rite WASHINGTON Vn Sen. Joseph R.
