The second danger which is written into the Bricker amend ment is to "cut in" 48 states in the conduct of foreign policy. When you read the amendment you will not see this, but it is there and intentionally there. What is aimed at is best ex plained by an illustration: i To prevent the decimation of ducks, Congress once passed a regulatory law; but this wis de clared unconstitutional, as being a subject reserved to the states. Later, a treaty was made! with Canada in which both countries agreed to regulate the hunting of ducks. Congress passed a law and it was upheld by the Su pre me Court as carrying out a treaty agreement. Thus, say the Bnckerites, the constitution was circumvented. I But was it? Migratory r birds recognize no state or national boundaries. International action clearly was necessary to preserve the duck population of the whole continent Is the government of the United States so impotent that one state could veto legisla tion of such importance?!

Animal Crackers to WARftfN GOODRICH "r worried. Doctor? he's not Ernest Teske. YeUow Cab, M. . . it's the bank." Drivers Suggest Changes By VAN EISENHUT Staff Writer, The Statesman Salem's one-way grid system was both praised and sharply criti cized this week during interviews with a dozen commercial drivers who daily wheel their vehicles in the one-way district While a ' majority of those polled favor the expanded grid, many suggested improvements. Lee Friesen, who drives a tractor-trailer combination for Russel Pratt's Capital City Transfer, de clared, "We can get around town in about half the time now." Don't Read Signs Favoring the one-way grid without reservation, he added, "Too many drivers are like cows going into a barn. They don't read the signs." It's the bunk!" was the blunt opinion of Yellow Cab driver Ern est Teske.' A driver in Salem for 28 years, he added, "Streets are plenty wide enough here without making them one-way. We'd prob ably better leave it the way it is now, though. If we tried to change back, it would be mass chaos." Two of Teske's companion driv ers were both in favor of the sys tem. Peter B. Stroh of Shorty's Radio Cab Co., said the new grid is "100 per cent okeh the way it h:. " ii.. : . . n.L is huw. nuu appruvuig was auu- ert Hinkle of Yellow Cab. "The one-way grid is fine but drivers aren't obeying signs or getting in proper lanes before making turns," he maintained. Trouble in Portland "We had the same trouble and comments in Portland when one way traffic first went in there," said MerlyiKA. Bryan, Portland laundry truck driver who covers the downtown .Salem area three times a week. "I have heard quite a lot of opposition against Salem's system over around Monmouth and Independence," he added. It takes me twice as long to get around town," declared Dav id Madsen, deliveryman for the Salem Auto Parts. "I go out about 30 times a day," he explained, "usually on the motorcycle. Once in a while I can save time by cut ting through an alley but a lot of the alleys are usually blocked." Henry Overman and Warren Welton, drivers for Consolidated Freightways, approved the one-: way grid but with some reserva-j tions. Both drive nearly every day in the downtown area. Too Many Streets "One-way traffic isn't needed on some of the streets they've got it on now," Overman said and listed Church, Winter and Cottage streets as examples. "Oth erwise I've got no complaint against it." Welton's comments were mostly favorable but he added, "One thing about it now, you don't know when a car is going to dart out in front of you." Driver ed ucation, he felt would solve most of the problems created by the one-way system. "I came here from Rockford, IlL," said George Kaehler of Jud son's Plumbing and Heating, "and they've had one-way streets for 12 years. It's about time we got around to it out here." Better street markings would improve the situation, according to David Brown, reUef driver for Mayflower Dairy. "The new sys tem doesn't speed up my deliv ery at all but there doesn't seem to be as many bottlenecks now," he said. "Except at Capitol and Court, of course. . 200-Foot Span Falls Again , PAINTSVILLE. Ky.

Command Monday it will vio late the Korean armistice if it frees anti-Communist prisoners after they are returned beginning Wednesday. ' Thimayya, chairman of the Neu tral Nations Repatriation Commis sion, said in f a letter to U. N. commander Gen. John E. Hull that the Allies apparently "mis understood" his decision to turn back the prisoners. In what he called a "clarifying" statement, Thimayya repeated the Indian view that neither the U. N. Command nor Communists can free captives unless: 1. Both sides agree how to settle the problem or; 2. A Korean peace conference decides their fate. The U. N. Command insists the armistice agreement provides the prisoners be freed Jan. 23 as ci vilians. The Reds maintain they should be held until the peace con ference takes up the question. Thimayya did not say what ac tion would be taken if the Allies go ahead with their announced plan to free the prisoners Jan. 21 Plans Laid for Transition at Catholic High Tentative plans for transition from Salem's: present one-Catholic high school setup to two on com pletion of the new Serra High School has been announced.

The fund, about $25,000 at the time, became available under terms of the will during World War II, but the city postponed any action at that time. The fund has now grown to some $33,000. A wide variety of; suggestions has been offered for spending the growing fund, ranging from swimming pools to classic stat uary. The first committee of Chandler Brown, Carroll Meeks and David Duniway received many suggestions including a museum building, moving of the old county courthouse and pio neer essays.
