McCarthy's subcom mittee employes for lack of se curity clearance admitted Thurs day they are stymied by the Wisconsin Republican's absence. Members of the Senate Investi gating Subcommittee said they can do nothing to clean up the staff until McCarthy returns from his vacation at a secret hideaway and calls a meeting. TO OFFER CHANGES "There is nothing we can do about it," said Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich). McCarthy's staff said they did not know where he is or when he will return. He has been gone two weeks. Meanwhile, Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) said he would propose Senate rule changes which would enable cither the ranking mem ber or a majority of a committee to call a meeting if the chairman is absent or reluctant. Under present rules, only the chairman can call a meeting. Democrats are primed to force a vote on a staff "housecleaning" at the next official meeting. DENIED CLEARANCE Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark) said that before the subcommit tee takes any other action, it should clear up the case of the two staff members who were denied Defense Department clear ance to handle secret documents, yet who have access to secrets in the subcommittee files. The two employes have not been officially identified. The Democrats are expected to have the support of Potter, who also has called for the discharge of top subcommittee employes who were embroiled in the Army McCarthy dispute.

But there probably won't be much of a change in billing until near the end of August, according to engineers and other EWEB of ficials. The new schedules were approved in April. The new rates won t bring a change to most customers of the EWEB. But those who heat homes with electricity and those who use ui emugy lur appliances win be able to get a reduction in rates through the new schedule, accord ing to Ray Boals, superintendent of the EWEB. RATE REDUCTION Boals said letters are being pre pared by EWEB employes to be sent to each class of customer. He said the letter will explain that those who heat homes with elec tricity or otherwise pay the pres ent "penalty" rate will have some reduction in charges on a new A-2 schedule.

Boals also explained that bro chures explaining each schedule will be sent to all customers of the utility. This will be done as soon as all of the letters have been mailed out. The new schedules are based on a "demand meter method of fig uring charges for electricity, ac cording to Boals. The superintendent explained that commercial and industrial customers will be the first to get the new type of meter device. ORDERS IN Boals said the first shipment of the metering devices hasn't been made by the distributing firm, al though orders have been in for some time. He said the first order was for about 2,300 of the devices and these will be placed on the com mercial and industrial meters. Then the rest will follow. It will take a year or more to get these installed The changes will be the "most equitable" of any that could be devised, the superintendent plained.

Makinson, vocational agncul ture teacher, before Circuit Judge William G. East which asks the court to issue a writ of mandamus to compel, the board to hold an official hearing for the instructor under terms of the Oregon teacher tenure law. Makinson has asked the board on three occasions prior to the hearing to hold such a hearing It has refused to do so on grounds that the tenure law does not apply. The school board in February of this vear notified him that he and his department will be plac ed on half-time status as of sept. 7. 1954 because of reasons of economy. TENURE STATUS Makinson objects because he is on permanent tenure. He has chareed that his tenure status entitles him to full-time work and full-time pay even if his as signment must be rounded out by teaching in the biology classes at the school or by supervising study halls there. He has had as signmonts in tnose iieias pre viously. At Thursday's hearing before Judge East, Attorney J.

Recently the Soviet government and other Soviet agencies have invited to the U.S.S.R. a number of West German leaders in vari ous fields. For the last century Russian foreign policy has swung between two opposite poles agreement with the Western allies against Germany and agreement with Ger many against the Western allies. In the 19th Century Chancellor Otto von Bismarck mastered- minded an alliance between the Tsar and the Kaiser which fell the Russians reactivated their al liance with France as a protec tion against the new German menace. But in 1939 the Russians revert ed to agreement with Germany the notorious Nazi Soviet non aggression pact which broke up when Hitler attacked in June, 1041. Now once more the idea seems to bo raising its head. The Rus sians may see use in closer rela tions with Germany as a means of weakening the Western alli ance against the U.S.S.R. Some German businessmen and politicians on the other hand also see important gains from agree ment with Russia. In the first apart only under Kaiser Wilhelm p,ace lhcy look tn thc markets II BUSINESSMEN GAIN After World War I Russia and Germany again worked out an understanding. Then when Hit ler cam to power in Germany and sources of raw materials in the East. More importantly some Ger mans see hope of reunification of Germany and recovery of the lost German lands In the East through agreement with Russia. They know that the Russians partition ed Poland in 1939 and consider they will do it again for a big enough price. PLAYING AROUND Thc Kremlin leaders know these German hopes well enough and will not hesitate to play on them. But it is not only the Kremlin, in fact, which is "play-fl ing around" here. Some Germans are exceedingly eager to play East against West and consider that the eagerness of the United States to fulfill the wishes of the West Germans will be in direct proportion to the amount of interest the West Ger mans show in the ovict blandish ments. Thc Soviet overtures to thc West Germans and the ovcreager response of some West Germans are an ominous development. They bode no good for the West. Federation of Teachers. This is a teacher's union. . HINES TESTIFIES Jordan is associated in the case with Charles O. Porter of Eu gene, in representing Makinson. Attorney William P. Riddles barger for the school board brought out testimony from Clarence Hincs, superintendent of Eugene schools, that there was not the slightest bit of bias in the decision to curtail the agri culture instructor's employment Hines said he did not know of the teacher's union membership prior to the reassignment of Makinson, and he does not know today of the membership except through hearsay. Hines has occupied the witness stand during much of this hear ing, although the board is de fendant in the case. Makinson charges that if his job is cut to halftime pay he can not support his family in the po sition for which he is trained. Curtailing such a permanent ten ure employe, he charges, would be a method for school boards to use in getting rid of teachers whose jobs are supposedly as sured. Tenure teachers can be removed from jobs only upon proof of good cause. Vital Statistics (Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire eng.) OH BOY!
