UP IN SALEM, wags are call
ing Gov. Paul Patterson's program
for getting an extra 65 million
dollars in taxes "The Great Take-Away."
OUTSIDE the House chamber
Monday a PA speaker had been
let for those who either couldn't
squeeze into the chamber or
couldn't stand the heat during
the governor's address to the
legislature. During Patterson's
comments on taxation there were
five men in a clump around the
Jlox, taking in every word and
tying not to wince when proper
ty and corporation taxes were
mentioned. Four of these men
were impeccably dressed, and
represented four of the biggest
industries in the state. The fifth
was a little man with a stubble
of beard, wrinkled clothes, and
bicycle clips around both pants
cuffs.
PLANNING HELPS, and the
many extra thousands of people
in Salem Monday for the opening
of the legislature were able to
find parking within two or three
blocks of the capitol. There were
no traffic jams, and few overtime
parking tickets, because most of
the spaces near the capitol are
not metered or limited in time.
Salem has another fine feature,
for those who do park in the
meter zone. Up and down the
streets are locked boxes with
slots. You drop your ticket and
ftae" four bits in and drive off.
(The fine is 50 cents if paid with
in 24 hours, and $1- later.)
The ticket box is a handy thing,
but the thought of a journey to
city hall may keep some motorists
from overparking. Eugene, with
more cars and fewer parking
spaces, has to keep vehicles mov
ing.
THOSE WHO get around the
state a lot say that friction among
law enforcement agencies is com'
mon and that the bickering re
vealed by the Lane County brib
ery trial was a mild case.
It certainly was compared to
what has happened in the past
in Coos County, and what appears
to be on the way there now.
Sheriff Charles Strawn took
office only two weeks ago, and
already he has blood pressures
up. Hours after he put on his
badge he made a formal state
ment saying that "Police work
from the office of the district
ttorney will be discontinued and
such work returned to a local
level, as provided by law. County
owned vehicles operated out of
the district attorney's office will
be returned to the county or
sheriff's office where they right
fully belong."
Obviously, the Wild West be
gins somewhere west of Eugene.

UNDER A BLANKET OF FOG While much of the country is blanketed with snow,
San Francisco (somewhere in the background) is completely hidden under billowing
clouds of fog rolling in from the Pacific Ocean. Only the tops of the Golden Gate
Bridge towers can be seen peeking through. (NEA)
Ike Asks Draft Extension
THE MAN who signed himself
"Anonymous Al" should be happy.

crews are now stripping the wires
off those pesky poles dead-center

gone shortly.

of military service personnel on
a selective basis.
2. A selective increase In haz
ardous duty pay for airmen and
submarine crews and for men en
gaged in parachute duty, demoli
tion work, deep sea diving and
certain other specialities. He did
not say how much of a raise he
wished.
The President also called for
these additional benefits for servicemen:
I. A "dislocation" allowance
for military personnel with de
pendents who are ordered to a
new permanent duty station.
2. An increase in the daily al
lowance for temporary duty trav
el from $9 to $12.
3. More housing for service
families in areas where present
facilities are insufficient, and au
thority for reduced rentals where
men and their families must live
temporarily in substandard housing.
4. Removal of "existing inequi
ties" and provision for better
medical care for military fami
lies.
o. equalization of survivor
benefits according to rank for
active and retired personnel.
DOCTOR DRAFT
In addition to requesting a
four-year extension of the gen
eral draft law, Eisenhower asked
Congress for a two-year extension
of special provisions authorizing
the drafting of physicians and
dentists. Those provisions now
are scheduled to expire July 1.
Untuning his plan for bringing
young men into the reserve
forces after six months of train
ing, the President said:
'At present, the reserves are
composed of older men who have
completed their terms of active
service. For example, less than
17 per cent of the men now in
Rt. F Tunnel
the Army reserves are under 24
years of age."
Eisenhower added that during
the six months of training under
the proposed program, those en
gaging in it would be paid $30
a month, as compared with $78
plus basic allowances now re
ceived by beginning privates in
the regular services.
ESTABLISH QUOTAS
He said the number of men
who would be accepted in this
basic type of training should be
subject to quotas fixed by the
President "to avoid bringing the
manpower pool down to an un
desirably low level."
The draft extension and the
plan to build up a ready reserve
of civilians would require some
form of active duty or military
training for virtually all able
bodied young men.
Before reaching 19, or in some
cases before the 20th birthday,
a youth would have a variety
of choices:
1. He could volunteer for the
service of his choice, serving
three years as a regular in the
Army or Marine Corps, or four
years in the Navy or the Air
Force. His total military obliga
tion including reserve service
would be eight years.
2. He could volunteer to take
six months of intensive military
training and thereafter remain
active in the National Guard or
reserve for an additional 9V4
years. He still could be drafted
if he failed to maintain his stand
ing in the Guard or reserves.
Plans call for training 100,000
men a year under this program.
ENTER DIRECTLY
3. He could, before reaching
19. enter the reserves direct un
der a commitment to go on full
active duty, when called, for at
least 24 months in the Navy or
four years in the Air Force.

vantages of Rt. F will be the ef
fect it has on timber values in
the region the road will serve.
Rt. F will open up vast sections
of 04tC and Forest Service tim
ber in the Siuslaw drainage area.
It has been estimated, the com
missioners said, that the road will
increase the value of O&C stump
age in the area up to $10 a thou
sand, or a total increase of 15
million.
Tied in with the Rt. F project
is the proposed improvement of
the port at Florence. A special
committee of the Eugene and
Springfield Chambers of Com
merce and the county commission
ers arc gathering data for a cam
paign designed to bring federal
aid for improvement of the Sius
law River port
The two chambers are on rec
ord as favoring a deeper channel
at the mouth of the Siuslaw to
encourage ocean shipping opera
tions at Florence.
Rt. F is considered a vital link
in any project to improve harbor
facilities for it would shorten the
shipping distance, of mill prod
ucts from the Eugene-Springfield
area to salt water.
When Rt. F is completed, a
motorist could take this route
from Eugene to Florence: From
Eugene to Vcneta to Noti, through
Walton to Richardson, up to and
through the tunnel and down to
Mapleton, and on to Florence.
The road is now oiled from Eu
gene to Noti. From Noti to Maple-
ton about 30 miles is graveled.
It may be several years before
the entire route from Eugene to
Mapleton is paved and much of
the oiled portion west of Eugene
will eventually need rebuilding.
U.N. Position
West Expected
To Approve Bid
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. WV-
Spain, barred from the United
Nations by a General Assembly
decision in 1946, is considering
establishing a permanent observ
er at U.N. headquarters, diplo
matic sources reported Thursday.
The sources, who refused to
let their names be used, also
said .that the chief delegates of
the United States, Britain and
France have informed Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold they
would favor such action by Gen
eralissimo Franco's government
REDS OPPOSED
The same sources also said
that a majority of the U.N. would
favor such a move but the five
nation Soviet bloc was certain
to oppose it.
These diplomats pointed out
that the decision on accepting
the 'credentials of the permanent
observer to the U.N. rests with
Hammarskjold but that he possi
bly would be guided by sugges
tions from various member gov
ernments.
No veto is Involved. A veto can
be cast only in the Security
Council to bar an applicant for
U.N. membership.
REGIME CONDEMNED
The Franco regime was con
demned by the first General As
sembly for having assisted the
Nazis during World War II.
In a" later action the Assem
bly called on U.N. members hav
ing missions in Spain to with
draw the chiefs of mission. Some
did so, but this later was res
cinded. Since then Spain has
been accented into some U.N
specialized agencies but the bar
has remained on membership in
the U.N. itself.
