Beck and. Union Face Hearings Dave Beck and hit teamster top brass hurj died at Galveston last Tuesday to weigh the summons for a hearing before the AFL-CIO: executive council - JjTbe council previously had impended Teck'u an ATL-CIO vie president Decs use 3 t took the Fifth amendment 117 tiraei in 3 ie Senate committee hearings. ' It also set 4 Day as, date for, a hearing of charges of Idrruption against the Teamsters' Union., h teamster board proposed to negotiate Jvith the. top council on "procedures" and faid It would attend no hearing unless fair procedures" were assured. . George Meany, fX-CIO. president,- rejected the idea of bar J lining over , procedures. So the hearings 111 go on as scheduled, the union itself on ay o and Beck on May 20 before the AFL ;0 committee on ethical practices. 2 An ouster or, seer ana ms. union seems Main if they fail to appear and answer 1 barges. The AFL-CIO council teems deter fined to do a ieb-.ef inside house-cleaning,' j hkh surely is needed to restore segments - I organizes uoor io goou ixpuie. Meantime, Beck set fresh gossip afloat by aiming to be taking the rap to protect those ., ho are higher up presumably politicians hom he has backed. This sounds like an aerthought on Beck's part His chief credo .' 3 is been to protect Beck and feather his own iht. He built the Teamsters' Union into ) ower and then exploited that power for his jwn benefit -. . "Senator McClellan has indicated that Beck nay be brought back, f or another appearance4 , ' Mfore his committee.; That might mean a - resh expose of his practices, and would give ! ; lim a chance to run up his scar if .refusal Superior court judges In Seattle have been "" lulling over a demand of the Washington sr that a grand Jury probe- into Beck's ! nanipulations. The judges nave parleyed on 1 he matter but come Up with no decision. k diligent prosecuting attorney would have ursued the leads offered by the Senate hear- , ngs, but no report of such action has come '. ram Seattle. It will be unfortunate to leave .' he Beck-Brewster business hang on the vine nde finitely.-l Beck preferred to give bis an- iwers in court There must be some way of living him that opportunity. "" ' ; miller Cities Share Growth ' if' PopuUUon growth Isnt the; only index of ' i stable economy, by any means, but assumi ng it is a major one the latest figures of the State Board, of Health indicate Oregon's argest cities aren't alone in their "progress.'' Ill three cities in the 5,000-10,000 bracket in he Salem area showed gains Dallas. 11.4 r cent Lebanon 9.8. McMinnville 5.5. Of he three cities in the 1900-5,000 bracket, iweet Home gained 15.2, Woodburn 14.8, Sil erton held about even, j Stayton led the Mid-Valley cities in the J.000-2,500 bracket with a 43.7 per cent in crease (from 1,507 to 2,185), with Can by (27.5) and Monmouth (10.8) also showing major gains. Mt Angel and Molalla both increased ' 0 and 4.2 respectively), with Mill City, Sber- an and WiUanuna recording slight de- reases. -.,-. . ,., . Turner topped the growth among cities In , i ; the 500-1,000 class (21 per cent), with Silcts and Jefferson sharing in the growth and Amity, Dayton and Falls City pretty well holding their own.. i Figures for the smaller towns showed St .Paul (18.6) and Sublimity (19.9) leading the parade, with Donald, Aumsville, Sdo and -Gen sis also thriving. Idanha and Scotts Mills fell off in the 1950-57 interim, as did Gates leu sharply, with Aurora and Hubbard .keeping the same- ststus. Detroit has been incorporated since 1950 and therefore has no comparable figures. ,. As a whole, the valley seems to have kept pace well with the state' overall growth, markedly exceeding the average in several instances. We can certainly look for the trend to continue. V . . ' ' ' ' ' ' Churchill and Longevity -, Sir Winston Churchill startles those with puritan antecedents when he offers as a pre scription for longevity: "A lot of drinking, a lot of eating and eight or nine hours of sleep, most of it in the daytime." . At 82 he may pose as proof of the validity of his counsel, but the mortality statistics do' not corroborate his recipe. Overindulgence iq food and drink still is charted as a short route to the grave. .-. As for daytime sleeping, that is for the sluggard (or the night-workers). It defies Benjamin Franklin . and 'Horatio Alger and the ancient aaw about the early bird and the worm. We wonder if Churchill his never ' been roused thus: "A birdie with a yellow bin s Hopped upon the window' sill. Cocked his shining eye and said: 'Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-bead?" - At 82 a man must be allowed his foibles and his fantasies. Besides, Sir Winston, for his' deeds and words, belongs among the heroes. If trfmblera of brandy and roasts of good beef and daytime sleeping can prolong his life and keep up his mental fitness, who s to say him nay?; An exceptional figure in world history, let him remain an exception to the rule of sobriety, diet and regular sleeping hours. ' ' SEA TO SHINING SEA Stamps , in the News Slow Down and Live - It wouldn't be so bad if drivers who in-' dulge in the "five fatal violations" had only themselves to kill or maim. But seldom in a serious accident it the guilty driver the only .one hurt ' Thousands who play no part-in highway miscreancy die each year;r v" ;rT-poiirt-iinthaM Z "Slow Down and Live'' campaign to start ' soon on a nation-wide scale. We hope it bears fruit It can, too. Last year, Oregon was one of 17 states which reduced Its high way toll during the special emphasis drive.' : The "five fatal violations,'' by the way. are excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, making a left turn in the1' v face of oncoming - traffic, passing without aufficient clearance and following too closely. , Maybe we should paste those five in the ' driving compartment like we did the phrase -Is This Trip Necessary?" during World War IL Not very many accidents are "necessary.' It's usually the "hurry complex' that brings them on. Let's help stem the slaughter. f 'V,i ''''-'-aMstxessseaaBBaar'. ,, .& Hirris Ellsworth's came received Senatf .-approval when presented as an appointee to . the civil service commission Following con- flrmation, President Eisenhower designated him as chairman of the commission. This . will please his Oregon friends who regretted, to see him cast adrift after serving 14 years as representative from the Fourth Oregon district. It isnt easy for a guy who has cut loose his business connections to get new foothold after so long an absence. Moreover, I the years in government provide one with a fund of knowledge and experience which often can be put to good use in some admin 'istrative department Admittedly, this is a "lame duck", appointment but it should not be criticised out of hand on that account. Ellsworth will render conscientious service in hi new off ice. v i , . yiTBWONMH thai this Is a vertical stamp and 'n.'inriu bik villi out- covers should be axMrttMd la mad whin and a oourini ladle . the lower, hit. center, particu- or-ftsel form the theme of the Mrir when blocks are desirwL Vf Lw?t.uec,I?iri!ISL, - Tie taHtd Nates festal A wnp uunorun um v . mkmWrmika aasMueM (sat the w rnmtm win be - May n.

'V i (Joeeoa Abof Ue country from r a strong pro-So viet trend. The State Department's threat 5 takes the amiable form of ex-. 3 Congressman James P. Rich ards. There is nothing outwardly menacing, of course, about the former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, whom Secretary of State Dulles named at a roving ambaiuador in the Middle East to appease angry Senators and Representa-. tivet. Since the methods of Madison Ave. are not well understood In the Middle East, a good many people in these parts have .been a bit bewildered by the spectacle of our new roving ambassador peddling the Eisenhower Doctrine . like a ne wbrand of soap flakes. -The Egyptians and Syrian have beea enraged, really, he caate the , new eeetriae win lead to seaefM Iraq.

In the second place, everyone here all too clearly remembers the extraordinary visit of British Gen. Sir Gerald Templer, who was sent to Ammaa to command Jordan to Join the Baghdad Pact.

The - suggestion has been made that Congressman Richards can Just possibly emit Jordan from bis itinerary. But at these words are being written, the State Department's powerfully reasoned answer still, stands: that It Is better Clngress man Richards to come and be refused, than for Congressmen ' Richards not to coma at all. Perhaps this answer will have been changed before these word , can be printed. But the story of the Richards menace and the State, Department's handling of the Richards menace still con tain two vital morals for th American Middle-Eastern policy makers. ..-. religion become chiefly a cursory-recognition of signs snd symbols, without reaching into the depths ef one's being to guide, to . strengthen, to inspire him? .The religion1 of Jesus Christ rests not on symbols be scolded those who looked for s "sign." To my mind it rests not on single events, but primarily on the mes sage which Jesus taught. The es sence of that, is found In His ad monition to ''love one another.' in the beatitudes, la His "do unto others.M in the prayer which He left si a model, in parables aa of the Good Samaritan, in Hi conversation with the woman at th well. In His touch of healing. His crucifixion did not destroy that message. The resurrection served to dramatixet iu and to fire with seal Hi disciples. The epitome of the gospel narrative lies- In the ,words of the young man who greeted the sorrowing first comer to the tomb: "Do not be amaxed; yon seek Jesus ef Naxareth who was cruci fied. He has risen. He is not' That reversed .their sense of gloom and of defeat into triumph, into confidence in themselves a missioners for the Christian gos pel. Under that Inspiration thetr successors through N ages have proclaimed that massage to all mankind, the message of God's love a revealed la Christ, which makes love the binding link among all mankind.
