Compiled Wire Services WASHINGTON Senator Oldest Hippo Takes Birthday Without Fuss NEW YORK UP) To be the oldest hippopotamui In th world is something. But Peter the Great, venerable Bronx Zoo hippo, took hi 48th birthday calmly Wednesday. That's twice the age of the aver age hippo equivalent to an age of 130 or so in humans. Pete has never known the love of another hippo since he was tak en from his mother at the age of three. In fact, he's really never known another hippo. He stares reflectively at his hu- A parked car owned by Edward I arate - from the pact to i K. jonnson, oouig, wus sum. I at 1667 Sixth Ave. West. The t driver of the other car left his !card with a nearby service station attendant, but left before police : arrived. His name, according to ' the card, is Roy E. Gustafson, 202 9 N. W. Quimby St., Portland. ; There was little damage to John , son's car. ,. Court Claims Drive Is Public '' Circuit Judge. G. F. Skipworth .Wednesday morning held that a 'driveway the State Highway Com ' mission built to give Pauline Wnl 'ton an outlet on Eighth Ave. E., is a public road, whether anyone else ever uses It or not. i Holding that there was ample precedent for his decision, Judge . Bklpworth cited the safety prob- lem created by the new hlgh- way which now runs along the ' old Millrace route from Broad way, cutting off Miss Walton's property except for a "highly dangerous" curb cut on the front iwhich opens into the northbound Jane of the highway. ' The question came up when ' attorneys David B. Evans and Sid ' ney Thwlng contended that the 1 state had no right to condemn the land of A. S. Coen In order to ("make a deal with Miss Walton." Blnte Within Rights ! Judge Skipworth held that the state was within Its legal rights in condemning Coen's land even though it was not for the actual ' roadbed of the new highway, since the land was needed for the gen eral scheme of the highway, and . therefore a public use. i This holding left for the Clr . cult Court Jury the question of how much the state must pay the Coen Supply Co. for two parcels ' of land condemned for highway purposes. Coen was seeking $27, 1 000 for two parcels, one about 35 by 90 feet. Including the contested driveway, and the other about S3 by 180 feet. The condemnation suit, which began Monday, was expected to ' continue through most of Thurs ' day as both sides planned to in 1 traduce expert witnesses as to the "reasonable" value of the land. Wherry (R-Neb) proposed man visitors. He lowers his two Wednesday that the Senate ! tons into his pool, snorting and specify a policy of no arms wallowing. He eats a gruel of hay. for Europe to back up the Atlantic Pact unless there is an actual attack. Wherry said such a proviso would leave the administra tion's military aid program which the State Department has described as wholly sep- 'stand on its own merits." The Senate has been in angry debate for six days over whether the treaty commits the United Slates to supply arms for Europe. Pact friends say no. But treaty critics insist it will. Wherry's pro posal immediately ran into oppo sition from the top-ranking sup porters of the pact. 'Require Re-negotiatlon' Chairman Connally (D-Tex) of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee said approval of the pro posal would require the treaty be re-negotiated. "If we put any different con struction on the treaty," Connally said, "then we'll be required in good faith to refer It back to the other nations. Senator Dulles (R-NY) said ap proval of the declaration "might be misinterpreted and indicate we are not going into the treaty in good faith and that we have men' tal reservations." Acheson Opposes Cut Shortly before the Wherry pro- posal was brought up, Secretary of State Acheson flatly opposed any cut in the projected $1,450,- uuu.uuu foreign arms program. Other Congressional develop ments: Farm Rep. Albert Gore, (D Tenn), opened a fight against the administration bill to give the Brannan Farm Plan a trial run next year. Neuropil Ren. Francis E. Wal ter, (D-Pa), proposed that Negro Baritone Paul Robeson be called before the House Un-American Activities Committee to tell why he likes Soviet Russia. Union Control John D. Cleric, member of the Presidents Council of Economic Advisers, said John L. Lewis' three-day work week in the coal mines could point the way to union control of production in other "great indus tries. Taxes Rep. Alme J. Forand, (D-R.I.) said he will offer a bill to restore wartime tax rates to upper bracket incomes and sharp ly reduce excise taxes, Windy The Senate rules com mittee delayed decision as to dropping Senatorial election con tests In Michigan, West Virginia, Texas, and Oklahoma. Reason: Reports of a subcommittee were "too windy The Un-American Activities committee heard a charge by Rab bi Benjnmin Schulti of New York that Communists are deliberately conspiring "to Inflame religious and racial minorities here against the United States." The conspiracy, he said, Is aimed at throwing this country "into confusion, paving the way for Stnlinlst revolution and con quest.' It's just another day to him. Japanese Face New Problems In Cold War By James D. White As the cold war moves in on the American occupation of Japan, one of the first big prob lems is this: Are the Japanese police going to indulge in some good old fashioned terror before Commu nist agitation is dealt with? It s all very complicated. For instance, one root of the problem Is the fact that there are too many people in Japan. This means more workers than jobs. It means too many people working for the gov ernment. It means a government afraid to fire them. The government also hu s tot of pre-war politicians in It, like Premier Yoshida. His cabl net, and those of earlier post war premiers, have been told many times to cut expenses, to run a more efficient administra tion. Last winter occupation officials got specific. They said "balance the budget." . The government stalled. Finally It was told to weed out some of the deadwood among its own employees. It turned to the bloc of gov ernment workers who are most highly organized and under strong leftist Influence the railway and communications workers. If it was looking for trouble, it found it It was explained that firing the proposed 180,000 workers ac tually meant that only 140.000 would lose their jobs, because the other 20,000 were just fictitious names on the payroll. It seems this is an old Japanese custom so that appropriations for govern' ment departments can be kept nign. Naturally, there mi trouble with the workers, with the Com munists egging them on. Right In the middle, Russia suddenly decided to return thousands of Japanese prisoners of war held since V-J day. By now they were thoroughly indoctrinated and many Joined in the rietc and strikes. They defied the police, amonr other things, which brings us to the question of the day the police. After General MacArthur won dered aloud in public on July 4 whether Communists are entitled to legal standing, there was talk of outlawing the party. Some Jap anese and occupation officials think this would Just drive .the Reds underground and make it easier for them to pose as martyrs. It looks like the occupation of japan nas become a prime Com munist target.

Parker said it was "ironical to compare the news (of the council action) on Page 1 of Tuesday's Register-Guard, and the classified ads in the back of the paper. The ads, Parker said, indicated that low-cost rental housing in this area is still far from a reality. Cites Ads He cited classified ads which offered one-bedroom units fir $100 a month unfurnished. . "I don't see how anyone can say the rental housing situation in this area is no longer snort, farKer declared.

He said he understood some groups were planning letter - writing campaigns, but he did not know specifically who they were.
