But So Are the EDITOR'S NOTE In Eur ope'! booming economy the old rich still have their cas tles on the Rhine. But it's the old poor who have struck it rich. They enjoy a crepes suzetle in every pot and have to crowded the luxurious spas of days gone by that for many of the old rich there's no place to go but home. This is the second article of four on Europe's boom. By RICHARD O'REGAN or the Aiioclaud Preis PARIS Europe, not long ago continent of industrial robber barons and decadent aristocracy facing an unruly poor, today is Park Land Acquisition Speeded Up SALEM HOT The State High way Department is accelerating its land acquisition program to gain more park lands, State Highway Commission Chair man Glenn Jackson, Mcdford, said Tuesday. He addressed the annual meeting of the Oregon County Park Assn. here. He said acquisition of shore lands and access to beaches is getting top priority. "It is only good business to acquire the property now," he (aid. Tourism is Oregon's third largest industry, and will bring in $216 million this year. He said this would Increase with expanding population. Advise Counties Jackson said recent recom mendations contained In a re port which called for obtaining more state park lands will not be filed away and forgotten. He said the parks department will advise counties in their park development. Personnel is now being sought to give such aid, he explained. Of Oregon's 36 counties, 30 now have park programs. Jackson also cited the need to have federal agencies con sider recreational facilities on an equal footing with other uses. Spending Boosted "Congress should be vigor ously urged to provide funds for Oregon's recreational de velopment," he said. He said the Highway Depart ment is upping its park spend ing program to $3.2 million during the coming biennium, an increase of $1.4 million over the current program. The conference delegates were welcomed by Association President Charles S. Collins, Medford. Collins is executive secretary of the Cal-Orc Recre ational Development Assn. Smokers Losing Desire to Quit LONDON (UPII British doc tors who have conducted the ministry of Health's first "cure jourself of-smoking" course re ported Wednesday that the dc- sire to give up smoking is di minishing. When the Royal College of Physicians issued a report link ing smoking with lung cancer, many Unions gave up cigar ettes. But doctors said Ihry have found that the mental attitude of smokers is slowly changing from one of alarm to compla cency. The typical attitude now is, "It cannot happen to me."

"Western Europe," saya Hen drik Brugmans, a prominent Belgian historian, "is becoming socially democratized. The age old class struggle is done with. Nobody is ready to man the bar ricades today." Workers who a generation ago muttered dire threats as they walked by the houses of their employers now whiz by on scooters or in Volkswagens and apparently give class warfare a rare thought. "I have a TV, a washing ma chine and a vacuum cleaner," said Andre Demeure, a Belgium miner. "My father feared we I 'Round the State Oregon SALEM (UPL State Highway Engineer Forrest Cooper says that Oregon still leads the na tion in the percentage of in terstate freeway mileage com pleted and opened. The U. S. Bureau of Public Roads credits Oregon with 65.4 per cent of its interstate sys tern open to traffic. This was nearly five percentage points ahead of New York, in second place. There are 732 miles worth of interstate highway planned in Oregon. Of Inis, zub miles are adequate for today's traffic, with another 272 miles expected to be ready for traffic volumes expected in 197S.

Tax Vote Opposed SALEM OJPD State Rep. Richard Eymann, D-Mohawk, says he dislikes the idea of a statewide tax election during the 1963 legislature to pay for an expanded state budget. He might be chairman of the 1963 House Tax Committee. No such election has been formally proposed, but Gov. Mark Hatfield said recently he is thinking about the possibil ity of asking the session to call one if additional revenue is needed. Eymann noted that if such an election were held, and a pro gram were defeated, the legis lature might find itself faced with dipping into earmarked funds such as those reserved for the Oregon Game Commis sion to find revenue. D.A. Takes Over SALEM (UPD George Van Hoomisscn, Portland attorney, took over as Multnomah County district attorney at midnight Monday, by appointment of Gov. Mark Hatfield. The governor's office mailed a certificate of appointment to him late Monday, making it ef fective at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Van Hoomisscn was elected to the post Nov. 6 and his regu lar term begins in January. Van Hoomisscn succeeded Charles W. Pecorc, who held the post on a temporary basis after the death of Charles Ray mond. Moving Problem SALEM IUPU The Capital Post of the American Legion here has an Air Force surplus T-33 jet plane all ready for dis play. But it also has a problem. The wing span is 41'j feet. The width of the streets be tween McNary field, where the plane now is, and the Sunny slope shopping center, where it is to be displayed, are only 34 feet wide. Post Commander Kenneth Holmes said the plane may have to be transferred by helicopter. "Or maybe we will have to cut off the tail, put it on a trailer, and sew it back on again." Grocer Wounded PORTLAND I A grocer re fused to hand over his money to an armed robber Monday night and was shot in the thigh. The grocer Thomas 0. Ander son, is recovering in a Portland hospital.

Sons of rich factory own ers caroused and drank and duelled. Women went to university "only if they were very clever or very ugly," a German gentle woman explained. Now, European universities are seething with young men and girls from all the former classes of society, although, for instance, in Germany only one third of 1 per cent of the popu lation attends. In some areas, the entire con cept of the "working class" is dying out. "Everybody who used to work for a wage and had no title of or I'll kill you." Anderson said he refused to open the cash register. One man fled. The other started out the store, then reconsidered. He whirled around, cursed and fired. City Administrator HOOD RIVER (UPD Bruce Clausen, 45, project engineer for moving the city of Arling ton, was named city adminis trator here Monday night by the city council. He replaces Hal Puddy who resigned in August to take a similar position at Bend. Clau sen takes over Dec. 1.

"Now anybody with the slightest skill who can furnish an apartment considers himself middle class. The only working class man any more is the man with the pick and shovel." Even street-cleaners in '-er-many have moved up. After 20 years' service they get a title as a "city official." All this docs not mean that class consciousness has disap peared from Western Europe. The man w!th the tilte of "Bar on," "doctor" or "engineer" still gets plenty of reverence anywhere he goes in Europe. Every official or functionary still insists on his own office and a battalion of protecting secretaries. Rich Are Richer And while Europe's workers are materially better off than they ever have been, the rich have become richer. Some econ omists say that proportionately their gain has been much high er than the worker. France's famous "Deux Cent Families" (200 families), who reportedly ran French industry before the war, have lost some of their possessions to national ization. But those who kept their holdings are said to be fabulously wealthy today. In Germany some 70 deputies in the German Parliament are said to be direct representatives of the great Rhincland-Ruhr magnates.

There are thousands of new industrialists in Europe and a new class of highly paid industrial managers, commer cial executives and technical directors. In Germany, for instance, the number of mark million aires (with personal property of more than $250,000), has doubled in the last four years to reach 10,000. But the rich and the new rich have a problem: How to spend their money in a new world where the former luxuries of their class now are available to the mass of Europeans. Solutions vary from country to country. French Hide Money Many prudent Frenchmen re portedly hide their money. Un der French law, they can be taxed on appearances. "1 would never own my own house," said a provincial French businessman in Strasbourg. "I rent a flat, my wife hires a maid by the hour and I don't put money into the bank where the tax authorities can inspect it." Many Germans, on the other hand, live it up with fancy homes and private airplanes. The rest of their money they pack off to Swiss banks. Many used to buy huge Swiss homes, until the Swiss feared the Ger mans were buying up their whole country and prohibited further purchases. The new German rich also dash around the world in a fu tile attempt to find fashionable resorts not full of their coun Realtone LANCER 8 Transistor Transitone Sportsman Hand Saddle Stitched Genuine Leather Carrying Case Operates on single inex pensive 9 Volt Battery Magnetic Earphone for Private Listening Compact design, rugged case for easy Portability Advanced Circuit Enables Trouble-Free Performance Under All Conditions FIRE CHIEF HOME FIRE EXTINGUISHER 189 2L trymen. Some, having explored Africa, the West Indies and the Canary Islands, now have ironically found a haven on their own North Sea Shore, a huge nudist colony on the island of Sylt. Here they are called the "naked and the rich." Some status-seeking European new rich try to crash the remnants of the old aristocracy. Considerable wire - pulling, work and publicity and a rich man may be able to, buy him self a title of baron or count in Belgium. But a new title and new money don't always provide entrance to the old aristocracy. A French nobleman, with a 32nd generation title, said: "Money alone will not give you entree to the clan. One must learn how to behave." Thursday: Healing the wounds.
