Something Will Have to Give Many of the problems besetting ushave no solution, even in compromise, that will, satisfy all concerned. One such problem per tains to the length of the school year. On the same page of a recent Statesman were stories (1) saying the State Board of Education was pondering an increase in the school year from 170 to 180 days and (2) cit; ing a current shortage of berry pickers with ."no relief in sight until the school term closes." The school-year increase seems to be a dis tinct possibility. It has been recommended by the state board's professional committee and such recommendations usually are adopt ed. If it is, there would be two more weeks of school nex year and somewhere some thing must "give." Knocking out spring va cation might account for one of the weeks, but it wouldn't be popular. And with berries early and beans late, one or the other or both of those crops could suffer whatever is done. From a'Willamette Valley standpoint, there are strong arguments not to extend the school year, though it must be admitted that a crop of youngsters is more important than a crop of anything else. But from a statewide standpoint, considering the many areas with out seasonal field work demands, extension' of the school year sounds quite practical. Perhaps it could be worked out to have a work-leave as a reward for better students who could make up their studies either be fore or after being excused for harvests. Merry Weddings Dmitri V. Pavlov may- never receive the medal of the Order of Lenin or the Stalin prize, though the latter may be out of circu lation at present. But he will become a Red Hero to millions of women, especially young women; in the Soviet Union. Pavlov, who is "minister of trade, has ordered the big stoies to open departments for weddings. They wi'l not supply brides and grooms, but they will supply marrying couples with gowns, rings, wedding cakes and trimmings. He hai also instructed marriage bureaus to organize can teens to sell champagne and chocolates, carh and carry or for home delivery. The trade minister says: "We want merry weddings." He may have a reason for this burst of lib erality: The rate of marryings in Russia has dropped some 50 per cent since 1940. Set back on his plan to borrow $14 million from the federal reserve fund for unemploy ment compensation by an adverse ailing of the attorney general. Governor Holmes ex presses doubt that the state can draw on the new fund provided under federal law for extending jobless aid for 13 weeks. He complains also that the new offer would merely be an advance to be repaid later, the same as the big loan. The governor would prefer to have the government foot the bill for lengthening the period when unemploy ment compensation may be paid. That is a ' natural reaction. No governor wants to pile up burdens for employers in his own state. But Oregon ought to be able to stand on its feet and fly with its own wings not at the stme time, of course. The next Legislature can prescribe conditions under which these federal funds may be drawn dtfwn by the state, an dit must revise the law covering taxes and benefits. Housing Men Flinch at Talk of Boom But Recovery Apparent "By A. ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON - Government and private housing officials here believe that the home construc tion industry, upon which the vitality of Oregon's lumber in dustry greatly depends, is now making "a strong recovery" from the slump olrym$"r--t the past ycar' ZJXSi or more. -V They flinch at any sugges tion that an other housing boom is get ting underway, but they say builders are op timistic. This I is reflected in the rapid rise a. Robert smith this month in applications for FHA and VA mortgage loan in surance and guarantees. It is reflected also in the private pre dictions of home builders them selves who gathered here for their annual meeting recently. This spurt in housing activity this spring is pegged to the em ergency housing act which Con gress passed in March and which President Eisenhower signed in to law April 1. The act author ized the Federal National Mort gage 'Association to buy $1 billion in government-backed home loans, thus freeing lending in stitutions to offer more mort .gags money to builders and prl fvate Individuals who wanted to build new homes. This relaxed IT l prnued In France, and a usNia urally, the United States is concerned over the safety of the troops and the continuing utility of the military investment. If France should go "neutral," then the arch of NATO would fall in. In the old dual alliance of France and Rus sia, France had to come to th'e aid ef Russia in the first World War, and Great Britain was drawn in as an ally of France. It is con ceivable, though hardly probable short of a Communist takeover in France, that a new treaty between France and Russia might be signed, reminiscent of the Hitler-Stalin pact of W39. The record shows, however, that while French p o st w a r governments have balked at many moves toward western unifi cation, in the end they have joined, clear up to a settlement of the Saar question and the Common Market. It is much too early to charge off France as a loss.. It may "find itself" and De Gaulle may offer enough of inspiring leadership to unify the people. That now seems to be. the spark ,of hope that may come to full flame. Drops Pay TV The Bartlesville, Okla., experiment in pay television didn't pay out. The manager an nounces it will go off the air on June 6th. It seems that the metering device didn't work satisfactorily, and that is what the system de pends on for customers and income. Both Congress and the FCC are sidestepping de cisions as to-licensing of pay TV for gener al transmission. Whether the death of one of its most ardent advocates, E. F. McDonald Jr., of Zenith corporation, will slow-down proponents isn't apparent; but some of the steam seems to have gone out of the promo tion. The vested interests, such as the big networks, exerted powerful pressures against licensing pay TV, and the movie theater in terests also opposed it, fearing the competi tion of home entertainment. They will prob ably be pleased over the dropping of the sys- s tern in Bartlesville. It probably was just coincidence that a fjrenching cloudburst swept 6ver the Des chutes River just in time to drown out a ded ication celebration for Pelton Dam, but we would like to think that it was outraged Na ture taking a modicum of vengeance against the sponsors of this project which blocked a fine fish spawning stream. Only trouble was that the cloudburst wasn't big enough to wash away the dam itself. Astorian-Budget. The Deschutes has never been distin guished as a fish spawning stream, though the State Fish Commission is working now to develop it as one. A big investment has been made by the power company at the dam to protect the runs of anadromous fish, up and down. The fish people at the river mouth prefer having no dams in the Colum bia River system. ."&-&-&&&&&& -- The federal government is having trouble disposing of Ellis Island, no longer used as the immigration station for the port of New York.'' General .Services Administration has offered it for sale, but the best bid, $20,000, was rejected. Various proposals now are made to convert it into a public park, into a center for international trade, or into a youth center. Trouble is not just the first cost, but the upkeep. the administration's "tight mon ey" policy. f Thli week FNmA announced that lit purchase of mortgages was running well above expec tations. It had been given $304 million of Its extra $1 billion In expectation that this amount would last antU July 1. But $220 million had beea used up by this week, so another $300 million was released by the Budget Bur eau. In addition FHA reported that applications for FHA Insurance in April were 80 per cent higher than for April of last year. Fig ures for this month will probably reveal still further Increases. Congress is considering anoth er housing bill which would in crease the total authorization for FHA Insurance by $4 billion for each of the next four years. A Senate subcommittee has approv ed this bill. FHA this week ran into the ceiling on its insurance authorization of $25.7 billion and ordered its field offices to stop issuing more mortgage approvals until the housing bill has been enacted. - The largest Increase- In home building appears to be In rela tively low-cost housing, the $13, 000 to $15,000 range. This It pleasing to the National Associ ation of Home Builders which has made a surrey of Ifcj $07 as sociations around the country ami found that at, least 200,000 hous ing units In this general price range could be sold this year. FrenchCrisis and Western Defense One effect of the troubles in France will be to discourage further investment in over seas military installations.. Where these are made m foreign lands there is always, the possibility that a change in government may force abandonment of the investment. France is the key to the defense of western Europe. But we have bases in- other foreign lands: Spain, Morocco, Libya, Saudi Arabia. In all we are dependent on the sufferance of thfc local government. Even where we have treaties, they would be of scant value if some new government ordered our eviction. As to France, the headquarters of NATO is near Paris. Corridors and pipelines from the coast are used to supply the forward bases. We have some 55,000 troops in billion dollars invested. Nat: mmimmmmmm'mmmmmmma "We are shooting for familils with a take home pay of $80 to $90 a week," a spokesman said. "We thing there is a big market for homes for folks making around $5000 a year." The home builders organization is pushing builders to respond to this need, and from all indica tions this market is now about to be tapped. At Us recent annual spring meeting, the home builders fore cast a 10 per cent increase la housing starts this year over 1957. This would mean about 1.1 million. Last year housing start numbered only 989,700, the lowest number In a decade. "We do not think this Is a housing boom," said a spokes man for the home builders. "We're coming' up off the floor. A steady recovery seems to be taking place now." He added that while a recovery in housing will affect lumber and many other manufacturing in dustries allied to building and equipping homes, "housing can't carry the whole economy on its back." His point was that recov ery in other industries would be helpful to housing, for it would likely mitigate the hesitancy of those with money who now may not buy a house because they are playing it cautious during this re cession, ' A , Housing and Home Finance Administration official shared ' the feeling that housing is show ing "a strong recovery hut it's not a boom." THE MEAT UPON WHICH THIS CAESAR FEEDS? DTP MHHUMTim (Continued from Pafe 1.) admission to the bar in the states and withdraw its jurisdiction over the pertinency of questions pro pounded by congressional com mittees. These may be regarded as minor matters; but if enacted they would set a precedent and succeeding congresses might fur ther clip court jurisdiction until' its position as a bulwark of in dividual freedom would be de stroyed. The American Bar Association is a very conservative body. But its house of delegates meeting in Atlanta adopted a resolution op posing the enactment of the origi nal Jenner bill. After its amend ment the board of governors, acting on the recommendation of its special committee adopted a resolution opposing the amended bill. The committee report haft this to say about the amended bill: The effect of combining these unrelated amendments into a single bill which includes as its first section the withdrawal of appellate jurisdiction of the Court in the area of bar admissions inevitably makes of the commit tee bill exactly the same charac ter of legislation as proposed by the. Jenner bill originally, i. e., an act to penalize the Supreme Court because of the disagree " meht of Congress with certain of its decisions and, hence, an attack upon the independence of the judiciary. The committee confined its criticism to the invasion of the appellate powers of the court, but it did characterize the amended bill "as an attempt to legislate in these important fields on a 'shotgun basis' without adequate consideration of each of the pro posed measures on its merits." It concluded its comment in this fashion: "The committee further recom mends that the association oppose the bill as an attack on the inde pendence of the judjeiary, de structive of the separation of powers contemplated by the con stitution." This is the verdict of a com mittee of able lawyers. (I am acquainted with one of them, Whitney North Seymour, who has been president of the New York bar association, having served with him on the board of the Carnegie Endowment for Inter national Peace). It is ratified by the board of governors of the American Bar Association, and continues the stand taken by the House of Delegates of the ABA. The judgment of this body should be more highly regarded than the inflamed comments of those who have been irritated by specific court decisions. By way of footnote, 1 should GRIN AND BEAR "Drive-in restaurants, movies, markets, banks! . . , Do vou realize, Roscoe, how long it's been since we got out of this car?" - mra mention the fact that the Oregon case in which an applicant for admission to the bar was denied has recently been settled. The Supreme Court had remanded it to the Oregon Supreme Court for review. This review was made, and disbarment again voted. On appeal the U. S. Supreme Court refused to review the case, so the Oregon decision stands. Yes, the Supreme Court does go too far at times; but history has shown that it is able to apply its own correctives and so to keep our constitution alive without hold ing it a straitjacket.

IT By Lichty Beauties Mum On River Days Ducat Contest Willamette Valley's 13 River Days queen candidates are pearly toothed and , tight-lipped at the same time as the' race for court honors nean its final two weeks. Though the young high school beauties smile graciously as they strive to out-sell each other in the ticket competition, "they won't tell us a thing about ow they're doing,", queen committee chairman William Ferguson says. Most will admit to having sold about 50 tickets to the annual July 4th fete in Salem, but behind a beaming face each hides a secret she hopes will overwhelm her op ponents at the last minute, Fergu son speculated. The six top ticket sellers will be announced June 17. Those six will begin competition anew and the queen will be crowned July 3 on a combination of ticket sales and charm. Most of the young candidates have picked civic or social groups to sponsor their candidacy and help sell tickets. One candidate, Ivadene Evans from Silverton, has bowed out because she is moving io wasningion alter graduation. In the meanwhile she is putting her weight behind fellow Silverton candidate Barbara Lichty.

The payments marked the end of the first year of financing the fed eral aid program under the High way Revenue Act of isse. The total collected from the coun try as a whole amounted to $1.4 billion, only slightly under expec tations. These taxes were deposit ed, under the law, in the Highway Trust Fund. Indicatioa Seen A n indication of the greatest road costs is seen in the gross receipts of filling stations. In Marion County, in the year, the receipts reached $14,002,000. They were $12,816,000 the year be fore. The $375,000 paid by operators of passenger cars in Marion County in the year was over and above their former driving costs. The amount was determined by using the U.S. Chamber of Com merce finding that the cost per car averaged nearly $8.60 in the year and applying that figure to the number of cars in service locally. Added Federal Tax The bulk of the money came from the added Federal tax of one per cent per gallon of gaso line. Other levies, such as a f) per cent increase in tire taxes, made up the remainder. Truckers, also, were sailed upon to pay for the new roads. In addi tion to the gas levy, they have been paying bigger taxes on tires and tubes as well as new tax on vehicles weighing over 26,000 pounds.
