Nov. 20 Petitions calling for a now City of Salem Heights were handed out at a meeting here tonight. The proposal would 'incorporate a wide suburban area where an estimated 8.000 persons live. Backing the proposal is the ' South Salem Suburban Chamber of Commerce. The petitions define a proposed area extending south beyond Lib erty Schoolhouse to Boone Road British Facing Prospect of Chilly Holidays as Oil Rationing Decreed Br ARTHUR GAVSHON LONPOJf, Nov, 20 H!-Thc pros-1 pen oi a eneeriess ana cniijy Christmas was brought home to Britons today with the imposition of oil rationing. Orders went out to cut motorists down to a basic 200 miles of driv ing a month less than seven miles a day, Apartment houses and other nonindustrial buildings with central heating will have their gas-diesel oil supplies cut by a third, their fuel oil by a fourth. But all the news was not bad. The government announced it will begin Thursday to demobilize men from army ranks swollen when Egypt seized the Suez Canal. It also agreed to the entry of U.N. police forces into Port Said, pav ing the way for a retreat from -Egypt. J " The .wiralioning" grows from a JtP Speaker at the Salem Knife and Fork Club Monday night was Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota. In discussing the current political trend the senator described it as both parties crowding the center line of the political highway. Dif ference between 4he two big par ties are now minimal. Voter deci sions turn on personalities rather than political philosophies. This situation will change, he pre dicted; by . 1960 there will be cleavage over issues. He was not very positive what the divisive is sues would be, but he mentioned the familiar -one of greater -or less centralization of power in federal government. It is very true that American political forces since about 19.17 have been centripetal rather than centrifugal an avoidance of ex tremes and a pressing toward the center. Democrats have disclaimed radicalism, and Republicans have denied they were forces of reac tion.' Nobody has been talking about making America over. Party philosophies have not been sharply divergent, the difference being mainly one of emphasis. Tariff-free trade, internationalism isolationism sound vs soft money the battle lines on these old is sues have become fluid as between the parties. Some may think our two-party system is in decay: yet the attempts to redraw political lines as between radicals and con servatives fails to get off the ground, the latest ' failure being that of the unnamed motley which mustered behind T. Coleman -Andrews for President. . Actually, however, this is not a new phenomenon in the. history of American politics.

(AP Wirephoto) 'Intellectual' Falls Heir to British Regime LONDON, Nov. 20 OP The reins of the British government have fallen temporarily into the. hands of Richard Austen Butler, 54, a frosty and precise intellectual with a big ambition. Butler aspires to be prime min ister. Butler, now Prime Minister Ed en's top lieutenant, took over some of his chief's duties and re sponsibilities when Eden fell ill. He may one day take over them all. If Eden retires the best opinion at the moment is that there would be a close race between Butler and the chancellor of exchequer, Harold Macmillan. Butler is Lord Privy Seal and government leader in the House of Commons. Despite his stature in the party, Butler is something less than the best loved of EAeh's deputies. He is cold. If he were an American politician, critics would call his language high falutin'. Sir Winston Churchill once looked up from a Brtler policy document and quipped Brilliant! 1 wonder how would read in English." LONDON. Nov. 20 ( Prime Minister Eden is "utterly ex hausted" but is not suffering from any organic complaint, his par liamentary private secretary said tonight. Eden underwent three opera tions in 1953, the last one in Bos ton, after being stricken by a liver complaint.

Painting Worth But It Still NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Ufi -This is the familiar story of an aban doned painting suddenly reputed to be a masterpiece, but with the added twist that a woman doesn't change her mind. Music publisher Murray Sporn, Westhury, N. Y., looking through a closet in his home came across an old painting that had been handed down by his wife's family. It was musty and covered with so many coats of varnish one could hardly tell whether it was a landscape or a seascape. He was attracted to it, though, and suggested to his wife that they hang it. She said no it was too dark. Sporn took the 18 by 30-inch painting to the Metropolitan Galleries in Manhattan for clean '-' t, 106th Yaar Asia Joins Plea For U.N.
