Showdown Vote
On New Distrii
Due on Saturday
By Eric W. Allen, ,Jr.
(United Prewi SUff CorrMpondent)
Salem, Ore., March 2 'ID The
bitterest Issue of the 1943 legis
atul.(wreapportionment of east
ern Oregon senatorial districts
was on the floor of the senate
today.
The elections and privileges
committee last night conducted a
stormy hearing and agreed to re
lease the bill (SB 271) without
recommendation. With adjourn
ment near and a flock of major
issues pending next week, .all fac
tions hoped to reach a showdown
vote on Saturday.
Cnrv Marshall Cornett, of Klam
ath Falls, claimed his bill would
carry on the basis of pledged
votes. Sen. Rex Ellis, of Pendle
ton whose 19th district would
be Wiped out, was equally confi
dent of blocking the redistricting
with the assistance of Multnomah
county's counter-claim that any
change should include four more
senators from the Portland area.
Pnnulation Data Given
Cornett said his present district
of Klamatn, Lane, uescnuies,
Crook and Jefferson counties had
73 000 population and 22,000
square miles. He proposed to keep
Kiamath in his district and com
bine the other four.
Ellis countered with the state
ment that it would be unfair to
split up his Umatilla-Union-Morrow
district, which has 47,766
population ,and charged the plan
unconstitutional because it did

f census and did not atlect tne en-
ar tire state.
Sen. Thomas Mahoney, port
land, threatened to take an initia
tive to the people if the plan car
; ries without raising Multnomah's
present delegation of five.
I Important measures neared
votes in both houses as calendars
expanded, committees began
' winding up their affairs, and
members grew restive contem
. plating the mountain of work and
lack of pay since last Monday,
Predictions for adjournment
ranged from March 10 to 15.
Bills Listed
Big bills receiving "do pass"
. recommendation from house com
mittees included unemployment
compensation rates and extending
of compensation to all hazardous
occupations, (HB 60, SB 136, SB
143). Sent to the house floor was
' a memorial asking that the presl'-
dent's- tenure be limited to two,
4 four-year terms, while heated
ai uiilt-'iiia welt; utraiu jji luuiniii.-
' tee on the senate-approved bill to
limit P.U.D. purchases outside its
district.
The senate passed to the house
two joint resolutions to strength
en the line of succession in event
the governorship is vacant. Both
would need voters' approval. One
(SJR 8) provides the line of sue
- cession shall be governor, senate
. president, house speaker, secre
tary of state and treasurer, while
the other (SJR 17) provides that
. terms of state legislators shall
extend until the biennial legisla
ture convenes and the successors
qualify.
Senate Aids
'. The constitution now ends after
. the general election, which would
; disqualify the two legislative
chiefs for the governorship.
The senate passed an amended
house bill providing ex-convicts
L can apply to the parole board for
'restoration of voting rights one
; years after satisfaction of judg
ment. The board would investi
gate their civilian records and re
port to the governor, who could
restore their rights. Another
house bill passed by the senate
(I IB 231) would increase state
central committee membership
by adding county chairmen and
vice-chairmen.

Henry A. Wallace
Sworn to Office,
Outlines Job Goal
Washington, March 2 upi Hen
ry A. Wallace became secretary
of commerce today and immedi
ately went to work on the problem
of postwar jobs.
The former vice president, tak
ing his third oath of office under
the new deal, stepped into a job
divorced by congress, of the gi
gantic financial powers exercised
by his predecessor, Jesse H. Jones
of Houston, Tex.
In his first statement since the
senate confirmed his nomination
yesterday, Wallace said he was
appointing a committee to plan
means for small business "to do
its full share In furnishing maxi
mum employment" after the war.
Goal 60,000,00(1 .hilm
Wallace's overall goal Is 60,000,
XX) jobs. Shortly after President
Roosevelt sent his nomination to
the senate, precipitating a violent
controversy which subsided only
yesterday, Wallace told the senate
commerce committee that his
strongest desire was to assure
jobs for everyone who wants them
when the fighting is over.
Wallace's confirmation was
made possible by administration
acquiescence in his foes' determi
nation that he sheuld not be per
mitted to handle the vast sums
entrusted in the past to Jones.
This was accomplished by enact
ment of the George bill removing
tne Keconstructlon inance Corp.
from the commerce department.
ine one-time secretary of agri'
culture was sworn in by Supreme
i;ouri justice Hugo I,. Black be
fore a group of government offi
cials, including most of the su
preme court Justices.
As Wallace finished speaking
the oath, Black clapped him on
the hack and said, "You're in."
Makes Promise.
In a written statement. Wallace
promised to do what he can 'to
develop the fullest use of man
power, money, credit, and science
toward a better peacetime world.
Of the committee on small busi
ness, he said:
"It Is hoped that the committee
will give especial attention to the
problem of making available to
small business adequate supplies
of equity financing as well as
long term loans at reasonable
rates." .
Friends of the 56-year-old Wal
lace hoped his new job would
serve as a stepping-stone to the
presidency. His enemies figured
they had whittled his powers down
to the point where he would be
"harmless."
President Roosevelt named Wal
lace to the post as a reward for
his political efforts.
Rural Telephone
Users Oppose Bill
: Fearing ' that a "bureaucratic
system of Inspection" will work
a Hardship on the users or such
telephone systems, the Carroll
Acres Telephone company today
directed a letter to representatives
from this district, in the state
legislature, asking them to use
their Influence in defeating SB
134. The bill, proposed by the
committee on labor and industries,
would Impose rigid regulation and
compel paid inspection of all tele
phone lines, including small com
munity services such as the Car
roll Acres one with 32 subscribers.

be waged against the bill, was
signed by P. F. Riedel, president
of the telephone line. . It was
addressed to Reps. William Nisk
anen and Bert Snyder, Sen. Marsh
all Cornett, as well as to Governor
Earl Snell.
NATIONAL LEAGUE HOCKEY
(By United Prl
Hopes of the New York Rang
ers for a Stanley cup playoff posi
tion were all but gone today aim
the consensus of even their die
hard supporters was that, if they
couldn't beat the last place Chi
cago Blackhawks, they wouldn't
stand much chance with the better
clubs in the championship series.
They dropped a 3 to 3 game at
Madison Square garden to the
Hawks last night, despite the fact
that they were two point favorites
to win. Hampered by the loss of
wingman Grant Warlck, who re
turned home, to Montreal because
of a death of a brother, the Rang
ers played below par all the way.
Chicago went in front, never
to be headed, with a four goal
rally in the second period in which
Butch McDonald figured in three
scores. . .

A MASTERPIECE
of the

The weaver thought nothing of spending a lifetime beside his
loom to create the masterpiece in tapestry which still represents
the dim and faded glory of Old China when she contributed her
art treasures to the world when the great Confucius besought
men to seek perfection, and patience was considered the finest
virtue of mankind.
It is equally true today that only patience and a determination
to attain perfection can produce a masterpiece of the brewing
art, a genuine Old Bohemian Type Lager Beer such as
EXPORT LAGER, BEER.
