Uin newtpaper Death Comes to "Vefp" , v- Alben Barkley died as he must ave pre ferred: on the stump proclaiming the virtues o hit own Democratic Party. The genial Kentuckian mounted the political stairs from prosecuting attorney, county Judge, represen tative in Congress, U. S. senator to become Vice President of the United States, 1949-53, and then returned to the political wars and was elected senator In 1954. Barkley wu an authentic Democrat, one of those partisans whose political beliefs are Inborn and ingrained. From a border state be wat In a way a ""border'' Democrat, but Hot In the tense that his party loyalty ever .wavered, He wu not as conservative as most Southern Democrats the "Dear Alben" let ter of President Roosevelt in 1937 helped him Win the post of president of the Senate over Pat Harrison of Mississippi after the sudden death of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Barkley quite consistently supported the pol icies of FDR and Harry Truman. At the same time he was not a blown ln the-bottle New Dealer like some of the Northern breed of Democrats. Barkley was an able campaigner, a key noter at party conventions, and. like his fel low townsman Irvin Cobb, an apt story-teller. Bis fund of stories was inexhaustible and he tampered his oratory with humor. ! Barkley was loved by his colleagues re gardless of party. As Vice President he was popularly esteemed as the "Veep" and his septuagenarian romance with a St Louis widow excited the friendly interest of his fcllow-citizens. litks wat Barkley s career and in it he ion high distinction. Only his age prevented 2pm from top consideration at the Chicago iwnwntion in 1952. Loyal to party though he was, he was nonetheless a loyal and distin guished American, one whom his political Dei respected and admired. He was part and parcel of the stuff which has made America .tr , Accorded highest honors after his sudden feath at the Soviet Union offices in New Jerk City Andrei Vlshlnsky, prosecutor of he purge trials for his master Stalin, now suffers under the rehabilitation program of Stalin's successors. After the trials Vishins tf wrote a book which explained and Jus 'Sfled his process of prosecution by use of -confessions." Now the Soviet law journal condemns his book and demands the "strict -- Sat observance of legality in the activity of Investigation courts and prosecuting organs '' Jhere Is no promise, however, of adoption of western standards of Justicfand safeguard of 4tit civil rights of individuals accused of Jrimes. Payment by Harvey Aluminum Company to Bonneville Power Administration of the anticipated cost of a power line from the powerhouse at The Dalles to the company's site gives assurance of early construction of another aluminum reducing plant for Ore gon. The project has been "in the works" for several years. BPA gave the company a con tract for power to be available when the dam at The Dalles is completed, but Congress re fused to pay the cost of the transmission line. Some months ago the Harveys agreed to meet that cost, and BPA says a start on the line building will come soon. The plant is due to be completed by Aug 1. 1958. Recent news has told of Harvey plans to move the aluminum-bearing material by boat up the Columbia to The Dalles. At present other aluminum reducing plants in the North west get mast of the alumina they use by rail from plants in Southeast United States. Use of water transport is expected to reduce the freight charge. These developments at The Dalles encour age the hope Jhat the former alumina plant at Salem now held by Harvey will be put into fuller use with completion of the plant at The Dalles. This was . bought for use as a pilot or experimental plant and a small force has been kept at work here for several years. Shakespeare Still Slakejerr Stonemasons at Chis.refeurst. r-njrland. un did some of the wort of mtr of their craft several centuries a the opened the tomb of Sir Thwmas Waisinfham to test out the theory of an Amern-an that Christopher Marlowe as the real author of Shake speare pla Walsmgfeam had b-en Mar lowe's patron and the American. Calvin Hoffman expended that Sir Thomas had protected Marlowe, allowing the report to spread tru: Mario e had been killed in a taverr, bra i Then a London actor manager was engaged to market as his on the plays which Kit Marlowe wrote. Hoffman was jure that evidence to support his theory would be found in the Walsingham tomb. Alas for Hoftman and his theory! The workmen due through sand and brick and when the tomb was opened found nothing in the vault but a lead coffin whose opening was not allowed Hoffman isn't satisfied and says he is going to keep on looking. This rebuff to the Marlowe-authorship the ory will not surprise the scholars most of wliom believe that Will Shakespeare wrote the plays that bear his name It will please those who still contend that the real author was Sir Francis Bacon or the Earl of Oxford. . No publisher, though, hrings out editions of the Plays with Shakespeare listed as an alias. Not satisfied with the population estimate of 12.300 given it by the state census board Albany will have a head count of its own, on order of the city council. The 1950 census showed a population of 10.115, so . the esti mated increase is over 20 per cent a siable gain. Usually local guesstimates on popula tion have been much too optimistic; and that may prove true with the Albany recount. 2 Though renomination of Eisenhower and Jfixon by the GOP seems assured the voting the San Francisco convention will not be Sty proxy.

The Eugene Register-Guard, bemoaning our losi of daylight wonders why it is that Oregon ians "prefer the dark." It is in error when it states that standard time is imposed on the state by its constitution. It comes through a statute initiated and approved by the people in 1954 DST twins with the sales' tax in unpopularity in Oregon, and like it draws opposition from the same twins: labor and the grange. pil Development in Arabia Has Resulted I In Importation of Oases of American Life ',., .- mi r .mm Ill ;J By Jnteph Also !Z DHAHRAN, Siudi Arabia -This is the land of incredible .juxtapositions. Walk a mile from where thee words ra written, past tha low, spidery itruc turn ot pipes that here- bout signify producing o i 1 wells, and you find the kind of empty desert that Doughty and T. E. Law rence described. But here in ,3 , . lire rciiiui SIBIl , Jep Alan c , m p (wnirn JJtneans the camp of skill and m privilege) of the Arabian Amer ican Oil Company, you are in a , brisk little suburb of Los An jjjgeles wheh hi been transported, rtas though by magic carpet, into Jjthe midst of the wilderness. Or in Jeddah, If you are about Xketimes, you ran occasionally see a crowd of Negro women -squatting at the entrance of the JJrlresa shop that has been opened by the enterprising wives of two .jd( the Saudi Airlines American ;pilots. These women are harem !JI servants who have got the word Ijthat the shop has a new con signment of the best clothe JJi'W York can produce. They w will take home whole armfulls to their ladies. But for their Jewels and their' really good JTdreaaes. the women shHt away jin the harems look to still more costly Paris. : Or here In Dhahran, in Aram !'! vast refinery, you fan see ;Kadl Araklaa workmen per- forsaing the most cwmplei teen niral tasks, and getting equal yay with foreign ewatrart labor vTlo, Bat 1 this eauntry. you -jgjti still say stive. The price ts IgrwsMred U be about S15S tor SJas able bodied am, $300 for a .kr- mi $S0 tor a girl; and a tJni clas busting falcoa costs ;nearly as much as a male slave. These Juxtapoaitioni are im portant, because they suggest the violence of the transition through which this country is now pasting, from the immemor ial past into the busy present. JUtnd this iviolent transition is vitally significant because it is creating a highly unstable situ atJon, which is hardly masked any longer by the appearance of the absolute power of the Saudi dynasty In brief, under the im pact of the sudden mflnw nf oil money. Arabia's old Inhal sys tem has all but broken down entirely. Within two decades a nation that was three-quarters nomadic has become Ihree-qiiar-ters settled, and most of the set tlement has taken place in a few towns where the court and ml company spend their money. Furthermore, whole new so rial groups are now emerging and beginning to ask questions. There is a sort of new bour geoisie, led by contractors for Aramco and the court, many of whom would like to tee (heir country more rapidly modern ized. There is Ihe new Saudi Arali arjny. with il American and Kcpti;in instructors .lust un der a jcar ayo, a group of Saudi armv officers tried a coup on the Kcyplian pattern Thev were defeated, and since then the King has kept his leudal tribal levies, the Mujahadilin. on a footing of almost full mobiliza tion, liut the army is sli!l a force to be reckoned with. And finally, besides nunv other renters of change like the schools with their Kgyptian tearhers. there are the lens of thousands of oil company work ers who have learned new ways. One of the junior Americans who sees lot of these men re vealingly remarked to me that the more skilled workers re sented their own government,, because of the lack nf social pro gress in their country, while Ihe less skilled resented the oil company, because they wanted even higher wagrs. Despite the smiliig surface, one ran set problems ahead for Aramco. But the man who has real problems ii King Saud, the good man who inherited the rule uf Arabia from his great father st the most critical moment, when Ihe forces of change were sud denly gathering their full mo mentum. There is hardly any doubt that the drive to mod ernize Arabia would be rails ing open trouble here today, if ' King Saud -had followed a dif ferent foreign policy. The Ring's policy, for which he rather visibly lacks personal enthusiasm, is essentially based on his alliance with Egypt, His real role la to finance F.gypls' anti Western drive in the other Arab states, and especially in Jordan and Iraq. Partly, this policy ran be laid to the King' three refugee advisors. Vusuf Yassin. Jamal Rev Hasseini and Khalid Abu Walid. all of hom are bitterly anti Western for personal reasons. In part. loo. this policv can lie laid to nalne emotion There is the (dd hatred nf the Hashe inile family that rules in Iraq and Jordan the descendants of Ihe Prophet (nun whom the house nf Sauil wrrvled the holy places of Islam There is above all the bitterness oyer the Israeli problem Kven the heir to the tin one. Keisal Prince of the lli ja frankly told me he as pleased hv the prospect of Soviet support against Israel. Kilt (here is another cause for Saudi policy that goes deeper than any nf these. At present, through his Kgyptian alliance. King Saud is playing the role of an Arab nationalist leader. Rut if he broke with Egypt, the hose of propaganda and agitation would he luri.ed on him as It Is now turned on Nurl Pasha in Iraq. He would be portrayed as an American puppet, the captive of the oil company, the feudalist who holds back Arabia from na tional progress. Ii would he unfair, but it would lie effective in Ihe pres ent unstable situation in Arabia. These people do not like the Kgyptians ho are so rapidly creeping in among them, but they would listen to Cairo's voice of the Arabs if it began to shnut aloud of their own un spoken aspirations Thus the ferment that is now beneath the surface wiruM ewrre-rn an open: rolling boil After that, anything might happen Because this prosper! always hangs oyer the Saudi govern ment. Saudi Arabia must now be regarded as the raptive, if you like, of Ihe new Arab na tionalist movement that pres ently centers in Cairo. In fact this Arab nationalist link has lo be treated as stronger than Ihe powerful Saudi links to the t nited Stales.

But these sunny days i fine? for the city slickersi won t last. Because the rains prayed for by the grain growers will arrive in time to prevent pickers from getting into the strawberry fields. This will bring cries of pain from the berry men almost as loud as later when the sun DOCS come out and cook the remaining berries. Then it will rain on the day before the cherry harvest arts followed by complaints from the growers plus the sun, which cracks the cherries . . . , The aett nnrwar rwaaea from farmers whom the rain usu ally manage to ratcb with their uaamer bay down. After that follows about four or five week of Inactivity when only pic nickers, fishermen and vacationists worry about the weather. But it usually rains when bean picking Is half aver with.

Or, as aomeooe one said, lot of people talk about the weath er, but hardly anybody wnsaerstands then . . . Backers of both Hitchcock and McKay were almost (but not quite) given a rare and confusing opportunity Monday night a chance to see both candidates on the same TV sta tion at the same time. Ads in local and Portland papers said that both candidates would appear on KOIN-TV at 6 15 p m. Monday. Wasn't the papers' fault. The ads came direct from both candidates' headquarters. Turned out. though, that McKay was supposed to talk that night at 9 30 and Hitchcock at 615. One irate woman called the newsroom to give us the old what-for because, she said, she tuned into what she thought was going to be a McKay talk but got that upstart Hitchcock instead . . . And if you're tired of reading that fine, print in the po litical ads you might take a look at the ataleai on the post office grounds. They're in full bloom now. And. to the further delight of color phot fanatics, the PO rhododendrons ire also an the verge of getting into the act. And the delicate pink, yellow and red flowers make a dandy backdrop for that newly painted red. white and blue mailbox and Ihe corner . , . The open house Sunday at the State Hospital was a big success But trouble almost developed in one activity Part of the program was the showing of a film on mental health. But when it came time to show it. the volunteer workers in charge couldn't find the film. They went to the man who brought it down from Portland a representative of the Oregon Mental Health Association. He said he gave it to a hospital staff member. After a lot of scurrying around and questioning it turned out the man he had thought was an official was a patient. The patient had stashed the film away and it took some more doing to locate it and get the show underway. Hospital staffers ire sort of hoping the Mental Health rep resentative was near-sighted . . . i.lilN AM) BEAR IT By Licliiv m)nm Government Unit Adds Researcher Ormond R.
