An incident of the sort came to attentionNThursday night, observed by many, but interesting enough to pass on to those who were not present. It took place at the Bend high school gymnasium. Well over a hundred undergraduates had spent weeks of practice for the Christmas concert, then had enter tained for upwards of an hour with a program of singing and of instrumental music. Afterward the two choirs and the band were to have their pictures taken for the high school an nual, but there was a wait while the hall was being cleared and the camera man was making his preparations. So the young musicians amused themselves by giving another con cert. It was quite impromptu and was without direction. It was also well done. And there was every evidence that the youngsters were enjoying themselves thoroughly. To our mind that is one of the important things about musi cal training the increased capacity that the individual gains for deriving pleasure from his own efforts. Of at least equal importance is the ability to give pleasure to others. As to this there could be no question that the organizations which performed Thursday night were qualified. Speaking now of the prepared, directed program (although as we have noted, the impromptu concert was well worth hearing), there was deserved appreciation from an audience which crowded the hall. Some of the players and singers had the benefit of experience, others, as is annually the case in any school group, lacked such experienceBut hard work and fine teaching had produced results. Our compliments to Bend's student musicians and to Don P. Pence, director of music, and Lindo M. Morandi, instructor, for a most pleasing performance. We shall look forward to the next presentation of the high school music department. ' President Truman's recommendation for a program of uni versal training, the need for which he points by calling atten tion to the fact that 30 per cent of those called for military service in the second world war were physically unfit, merits general approval even while he insists, for obvious reasons, that his proposal is not a military program. At the same time that we approve, however, we must observe that the president is only a little less than two years late with his suggestion, as far as Oregon is concerned. The physical education pro gram set up in law enacted by the 1945 legislature and now being carried out in the public schools of the state covers the need. The national wage stabilization board, we are assured by its press relation department, continues to function. But only, we hasten to add, in digging into the records of the past in harassment of employers who raised pay rates. Recipients of increases have been unmolested so far. Charge of Tax evasion Faced Seattle, Dec. 21 lPi A Seattle cardroom operator widely known In local gambling circles as Myer "Jew Mike" Rothstcin was ar rested Wednesday night on a se cret federal grand Jury indictment on three counts of income tax eva sion. Rothstein was charged in the indictment, returned in Tacoma, Wash., December 9, with failure to pay S106.42O.16 income taxes during the years 1940, 1941 and 1942. Rothstein was arrested here and released on $3,000 bail posted at the U. S. marshal's office.

STATEHOUSE JOTTINGS By Eldon Barrett (United Preae Staff Corrwpun.Tent Salem, Ore.. Dec; 19 up If ex perience, like the proverbs say, is a good teacher, then the 44h Oregon legislative assembly should be well taught, for only 11 of its 90 members are inexpe rienced in the fine art of legisla torial lawmaking. The 30-man senate has only one "green" hand. He is Austin Dunn a Baker lawyer and a demo crat, who succeeds the late Sen ator William H. Strayer, whose home also was in Baker. The other five new senators formerly were in the house of representatives. Three hold jobs in the house last session. They are Truman A. Chase. Eugene, W. W. Balderee, Grants Pass, and Eugene E. Marsh, a Mc.Minnville resident, who served as speaker in 1945. The other two are Orval N. Thompson, Albany attorney, a democrat, who served in the 1941 house then entered the navy for three years service, and Allan G. Carson. Salem, who also served in the legislature before going into the armed forces. Douglas McKay, Salem, who technically was on military leave from the senate while serving in the army, also was elected at the last election. On the other side of the cap itol rotunda there are 15-newly-elected representatives in the house but five of these are "old hands." Colon R. Eberhard, who will represent the 14th district em bracing Union county,- and J. E. Bennett of Portland, a represen tative from the Fifth distri"t, both have had experience in the senate. Harry R. Wiley, Lebanon, Dr. F. H. Dammasch, Portland, and R. H. C. Bennett, Dundee, are former members of the house. Legislative newcomers in the house are John F. Gantenbein and Rudie Wilhelm, Jr., both of Port land; John M. Bates, Lake Grove, Earle Johnson, Corvallis, Frank A. Doerfler and Douglas R Yeater both of Salem, Herman Hendershott, Eugene, Marie E. Wilcox, Grants Pass, Kenneth W. McKenzie, Wallowa and Martin P. Gallagher, Ontario. The question of who succeeds the late Senator Strayer as dean of the senate is still unanswered.

Others Say . . . t'ONC.RKNSIONM, i liEOHC.ANIZATION (New York llerald-Trihune) Early last June a dispatch from ; the Herald Tribune's Washington Bureau stated: "The Senate went through the motions today of de bating a Congressional streamlin ing bill which most Congressional ohservers aKree will never tie passed by the Seventy-ninth Con-i gress." The Congressional ohserv-i ers were wrong: the bill did pass, j j Senator Joseph C. O-Mahnney. I who had voted against the bill, j ; pointed out: "One Congress can not bind another." He was right. ! Despite the long, painstaking work of the bill's sponsors, the amendments solemnly accepted and the official roll call by which . it was overwhelmincly adopted, the reorganization measure -sponsored by Senator Robert M. Ia Follc-tte Jr. and Representative A.! S. Mike Monroney cannot yet be : accepted as fait accompli. The Eightieth Congress, when it meets early in January to organize for the important business before it, will adopt its own rules. It may adopt those sensible, semplifled strengthening provisions passed by the Seventy-ninth Congress last summer, or It may legally go back to the archaic commit-1 ' tec- structure and the -cumbersome, clustered processes of the i past. The decision rests with the Republican majority. i More than one political cynic , has sueecstod in recent weeks j that the new Congress will pro-; : bably accept the generous pay , rise and the comfortable pension '. provisions of the La Follette ' Monroney reorganization act and let the remainder go by the board, i j If this were done, by some casual I parliamentary maneuvering, the Congress would turn hack the clock and the Republican party i would lose respect and prestige. It is heartening to report that at j present the Republican leadership shows no sign of scrapping this i i important bill and reverting to! NWHVIV atTAi 1 1 I'l I U I Ml -S- jr . ,1 Ltt.lf' the creaking legislative structure; of the past. j The reorganization measure reduced Senate committees from thirty-three to fifteen, and House committees from forty-eight to, eighteen. wljM'd out such iiuisnnc-' es as Ine iensions and claims i CitmmitteesV-hii-h washtl valuable I time. More important, it retlefln-j ed and clarified the committee! functions, consolidating In n sin-! gle committee legislative matters which had been spread awkward-i ly through half a dozen. In ntldl-1 tinn, It provided the standing com-! mittees of House and Senate with staffs of trained personnel to ex pedite antt make more efficient j their work.

The Republican ma jority should make sure that- rtfk lesser considerations interfere with that Important step.

To the editor: In the iast I have noticed that you have published III your paper ietters from various suIisciIImms who have comments to make, both for and against, our cltv of ficials and the way our city is managed. This Is such n letter. What I have to say Isn't di rected so much against any par ticular person hut rather against certain policies of the city water department. Recently I undertook to build n home with the "help" of various government auencles and hanking Institution. Having successfully filled out an almost endless suc cession of blank forms and que tinniilrcs I obtained the necessary priorities and financial harking to hulld u modest home. Now the house Is Hearing com pletion and I find that In order to have running water In the house I must dig my own ditch and Install the necessary pipe at my own cxense. The city water department enn't afford to siend I'liv more money on extending; this particular water main. The city officials the commis sioners, mayor and city manager have told me it has always Iveen a pollcv of the water ileu'tment to hulld and extend only those water lines that will serve a suf ficient number of homes to Insure their being tald for In n reason, able length of time by the month ly water revenue xt!d hy the con sumers. I've asked the city to put In a service line on East Franklin for an approximate instance of 'JMI feet. This would bring water to the front of my property when" I could connect on to it. They toltl me the onlv way It ran lie done Is for me to bear the entire expense. I can't afford it and neither can the city or so they say. Now I'm not asking for any privileges that others haven't asked for - and got. I onlv ask that the city do for me what It has done for these others. I've only asked the city for a 250 foot service line when I among others, know that In cer tain cases the city has extended water mains a block or more to accommodate people who are bet ter friends of our city fathers than am I. I don't think It's fair or right. If it Is an ironclad policy of the ' a r C Xrm owtt wATtfi ' I if fOl-H .Mr".
