But for the future, the Repub lican response to this election is really more interesting than the Democratic response. Although they all know the off-year rules, although they all are pleased and surprised that the party did so well, the Republicans can easily respond i to their set-back by adopting counsels of despair. But if they are venomous and des perate and destructive because of this far from decisive set-back; they will . be misreading - the signs. The signs say that the Repub- Leans can still win in 1936, if they only try to do it the Eisen hower way. Therein lies the big choice they have ahead of them. j (Copyright, 18S4, Vtw York -. I .

Paul Geddes, Roseburg, chairman of the revenue interim committee of the 1953; legislature, said Fri day. . His statement followed an all- day meeting of the interim com mittee at which the proposed new department ! was discussed from many angles.! Creation of a rev enue division was first discussed at the 1949 legislature along with a proposal i for a State Finance and Administration Division. The finance department was authorized by the 1951 legislature and Harry Dorman was appoint ed director. Proponents of a revenue de partment contend it would cen tralize collection of state fees and other receipts which is now scattered among a large number of state activities. Opponents of a revenue; department charge that it merely would create more expense. !

EaMm&- Church end Ferry Streets W.Germany Dissension Alarms West By J. t ROBERTS Associated Press News Ayalyst During the last few days, while the ; United States has been en- -grossed in its own political prob lems, a serious situation has de veloped in Germany threatening one of the nation's major policies . abroad.j i Chancellor Adenauer returned to Bonn after the visit with President Eisenhower and other American officials to find the coalition par ties, on which"; he depends for his majority in the Bundestag, up in? arms over the Sar settlement. You1 will recall that, insofar as France lis concerned, the Western European Union, by which Europe intends ;i to incorporate Germany into a ii general defense- program, . was made contingent on a settle ment of the Saar dispute with guarantees that its economy would remain integrated with that of France. Political rights were to be re stored to pro German parties in the territory, but Once the agree ment was approved nobody would oe permitted: to agitate for return of the; Saar to Germany pending a definitive settlement at some future conference on a final Ger man peace treaty. .This arrangement,-limiting free.. dom of speech and political in dependence of both individuals and groups, was highly disturbing. It , was accepted both by France's al lies and by Chancellor Adenauer only as a necessary eviPattendant upon accomplishing broad general aims or much greater urgency. But uiis, along with other con cessions made by Germany, in cluding.! Adenauer's failure to ob-, tain free trade rights within the territory instead of merely an ex tension of present rights controlled by France, has proved too tough tor a tot of Germans to swallow. Some Americans who distrust France; said at the time that her insistence en settlement of the Saar question in connection with WEU was originally designed to runner i delay or avoid German rearmament, even as their idea for a European Defense Community,-held up for three years and then repudiated, already had de layed it. Now they are saying it again.-. ' ; Frenchmen of both high and low degree deny this vehemently. They insist that Premier Mendes-France acted in the only way he could to get. parliamentary approval of WEU, that France has recognhied the inevitability of German rearm ament and that the government N now determined to put it through. -3 ... v . .. V- But whereas France was the pivot, the failing pivot, on which EDC hung, now Germany has fall en into, the uncertain column, anr' the. whole program is threatened. The suggestion by German coali tion leaders that Adenauer reopc negotiations with France in searc of modification of the Saar agrc ment is hardly realistic. He d' the begt he could at Paris at time when he was in a far betU bargaining position, because Br tain and the United States we irked jat French repudiation 1 EDC. 1 j For Germany to start kickir. over the traces now would not hel anything,, and would put her in bad odor with the rest of the Allies. f ' 0 S0tiCD& tattsiaan ' i f ' I Subscription Rates By carrier in eiUes: .
