' ' y LEASED WIRE WORLD NEWS COVERAGE UilJ CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER Volume LVIII Cost Budget For Deschutes Given Review Total Is $63,533 Over That for Current Year; Thursday Meeting Set . If it wlU , fit into the levy limitation, Deschutes county's general fund expense budget for the fiscal year 1948-49 will be $278,906.99, members of the budg et committee decided last night at a meeting which lasted until mid nieht. Next Thursday evening they will assemble again at the circuit court room in the court house to scan a cash on hand re Dort and estimates of receipts which County judge C. L. Allen promised to nave reaay. men it will be decided whether the ex penditures planned for the coming year can be made without exceed ing this year's levy by more than six per cent. If any reduction from the planned amount is ne cessary, It was agreed, the cut will be made from the $100,000 .tentative appropriation (half of this re-budgeted) for the county's projected old folks home. Expenditures Gain As the total stood at the close of last night's meeting, expendi tures for 1948-1949 were $63,533.06 in excess of those for the current year. The old folks home ac counted for the biggest part of this increase, but there were few departments that did not provide for higher costs. The assessor's office was up $2,150, the circuit court $700, court house mainten ance $1,150, the district attorney's office $1,000, the health depart ment $1,170.70. The Redmond jus tice of the peace was put on a salary, which increased the justice court's appropriation from $2,800 to $3,800. For weed control, spe cifically for purchase of a carrier for poison spraying equipment, the committee upped the original estimate of $400 to an even $1,000. More Funds Required Biggest single increase next to the old folks home was for relief. Under new state law the county is required to comply with state welfare commission demands in Its budgeting. Last year, before this law became effective, the county had budgeted $27,500. This year it'was required to give $4, 297 additional. Members of the committee grumbled, talked about testing the constitutionality of the law, but presently accepted welfare's certification. General road fund revenues in the coming year will amount to $203,958, up $90,592.82 from this year, it was estimated by George H. McAllister, county roadmaster. His expense budget for the period fitted this amount to the penny. No direct taxes are involved. In addition $52,000 will continue to be carried in the post-war road fund. Slight Cut Made Minor surgery was done on the county library's budget. The com mittee noted an Item of $800 for a half-time secretary and desk as sistant and removed the half that the county would pay toward this cost. As approved, the library ap propriation was $8,870. All members of the committee E. C. Parker, Ken Longballa, Pearl Weigand, County judge C. L. Allen and County Commission ers A. E. Stevens and E. E. Varco attended last night's meeting.

Primary Vote In Bend Heavy The heaviest primary election vote since 1932 is turning out in today's voting, a check of Bend precincts between 1:30 and 2 p.m. this afternoon revealed. As expected, republicans were voting in greater force than dem ocrats, who actually hold more registrations in Bend. A total of 802 voters had cast their ballots when the check of 14 precincts in the city was made. This is the greatest number since the May primary of the presiden tial year 1932, when an all-time record of 1,381 was recorded by 2 p.m. . : The 1948 vote compares with 245 in the 1946 primary, 373 in ana 515 in 1942. Below October Vote . . The Vote, however, is ctill not as large as that cast by voters at the special state and city election last October 7, when the election of seven city commissioners brought out a heavy tally. Several heavy contests for re publican nominations .were bring ing GOP voters out in greater numbers than the democrats. The Dewey-Stassen presidential nom ination battle, which has focused the eyes of the entire nation on Oregon for the day, generated a large part of the GOP interest, with the McKay-Hall guberna torial campaign contributing Its ahare. A steady rain was falling at 8 a.m. when the polls opened, but the storm ended a short time later. Skies remained overcast throughout the day and were no doubt keeping some voters home.

In Day Bitter Primary Fight Expected to Bring Out Near Record Number Portland, Ore., May 21 IP Oregon voters went to the polls today under overcast skies, drawn In apparent record num bers by a bitter primary battle between Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Harold E. Stas sen of Minnesota. Light rains fell in Central Ore gon but warmer temperatures In the broad Willamette valley, where the state's population is concentrated around Portland, Salem and Eugene, brought out lines' of early -voters when polls opened at 8 a. m., PST.

Madras Has Storm Balloting across western and eastern Oregon ranged from light during the early "hours to mod erately heavy. A lightning storm hit the Ma dras area in Central Oregon last night, miring rural roads. At 9 a. m. only nine votes had been cast in Madras, where 496 were registered. .

The Salem vot ing was about twice as heavy as usual under cloudy but dry skies. Astoria reported about 73 per cent of the votes cast were re publican, despite the fact that only, 53 per cent of Clatsop coun ty's registrants joined the GOP. Early -Vote Big Corvallis reported voters were out "early and strong" and Ba ker said 10 per cent turned out at one precinct In 'the first two hours. Medford had an 11 per cent vote by noon.

House Keeping In Home of Future, Asserts Color Expert By Virginia MacPherson (United PrH Hollywood Correspondent) Hollywood, May 21 IP House keeping of "tomorrow" will be an ultra-violet cinch, a color expert predicted today. A flick of a dial will do everything even cheer up the old man when he rumbles home with a grouch. That's what Albert King, chair man of the California Color so ciety, told a roomful of women at the art center school. Vou won't do it with mirrors you use the color spectrum. "Tomorrow and that moans from 10 to 15 years the ultra violet and infra-red rays will do all your work for you," King said. "No more dusting floors, swatting flies, washing dishes, and wearing clothes." No dust'll get a look-see into this house of the future, accord ing to our expert. A magnetized bar will stop the stuff at win dows and doors. DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1948 Unaware . (NEA Tetephotot Mrs. Oallna Dunaeva Blcontsh (left) Is the Soviet agent who the D.

To Be Ultra-Violet Cinch Insects will drop dead in their tracks from, an ultra-violet ray loop strung around the rooms. Cooking will be a cinch. No more slaving over a hot stove for the bride of 19. She'll whip up a dinner right at her plastic din ing table with Infra-red rays. "These tables will have groov ed patterns at each place," King foresees. "You put the food In, turn a dial, and your steak starts sizzling right under your nose. When It's done, turn off the rays, and fall to." The food will be hot and the table cold. To clean up after wards, all you'll do Is wipe the grooves with a damp cloth, turn on an ultra-violet ray, and steril ize the surface for the next meal. Furnaces'U be outofstyle, too. Infra-red rays will heat the house, King says,, and people eventually will begin walking around In the altogether to soak up those health-giving radiations. Wife Being Modern , ' ers that all bearers of Amer ican passports, irrespective of race, color, or creed, are en titled to an equal extent to the protection of the government of the U.S." , , The Lebanese government had -explained its! action- byfewifing, andReviRoss Knotts, of saying that all of the 69 passes gers taken off the ship on Wed nesday were "Zionists" en route to Israel to help "disturb the peace of the Holy Land." Representations Made The state department had re vealed earlier that the U. S. lega tion at Beirut already has "made representations" to Arab Leban on against the removal, of the Americans from the U. S. ship, the Marine Carp. The department disclosed that Lebanon authorities said that the passengers it chose to remove from the vessel would be "remov ed by force if necessary" at the time of the incident. "The legation thereupon advis ed American citizens aboard the vessel that physical resistance might lead to bloodshed," the de partment said. 'The result was that ttfe remov al of selected passengers was ac complished without use of force and without violence." Big Air Force Bill Signed by Truman Washington, May 21 nil Presi dent Truman put his okay today on an order from congress to start building a 70-group air force. "This puts us on the road to a modernized air force by 1951 or 1952," said Rep. Carl Hinshaw, R., Cal., vice-chairman of a Joint house-senate congressional avia tion policy board. ' President Truman had frowned on congress' demand for a bigger air force. He said the air force should concentrate on Improving Its present thinly-spread 55 groups. But he signed the 70 group bill, nevertheless. ' Lamps? Don't be old-fashioned. One of these years you'll be read ing your evening paper by sun light. Honest, that's what the man says. "Walls will be Impregnated with phosphorescent minerals," King explained. "They'll store up sun rays during the day to pro vide artificial light at night." And If you want to, you can sleep eight hours and wake up for breakfast with a nice sun tan. Of course, If you like It dark when you snooze, you'll have to draw the curtains. Tired of the color of your walls? Move the color dial a lit tle bit and get a new shade to match your gown. Since they've been treated with ultra-violet rays they'll switch colors faster than a movie queen's hair-do. "And If the man of the house comes home cranky," King says, "turn to a green shade. That'll rest him and make him nice again," Mata Hari Student Awards For School Year Are Announced Bend high school's 1948 grad uating class, numbering 139 sen iors, will complete twelve years of public school education with commercement exercises Frldayv May 2b, at 8 p.m. in the school gymnasium.

(United Prot Stuff Correspondent! With the Arab Legion, Jerusalem, May 21 MJ.E) Arab le gion troops advancing through the old walled city of Jeru salem have seized Zion gate and have isolated 4,000 Jews fighting within the old city, the legion commander said today. Jews within the old city have sent a desperate message to Tel Aviv warning they will be forced to surrender unless reinforcements are sent quickly, the commander said. The message was intercepted by the Arabs. Fighting in Jerusalem is re stricted to the old city, where legion troops, aided by local Arabs are. blasting isolated Jewish strong-points and car rying out a systematic encir clement of the main force. Snipers Targets The legion's advance through the crowded old city is paced by armored cars whizzing through the narrow streets to blast at snipers' houses. Mortars roar steadily as legion gunners toss shells at Jewish strongpolnts, both within the old city and in the new city. Zion gate, in the southern wall through which Jewish reinforce ments were rushed into the old city three nights ago, was cap tured by legion troops late yes terday. These troops occupied the Sheik Jarrah quarter north of the old city Wednesday, then advanc ed through the American colony past .the Angelican cathedral to Damascus gate in the northwest wall. . . Pincers Join Thero they joined with the eastern pincers, which had fought down from the inount of Olives through St: StepWns gate In the east wall; -Together the two forces fought south and captured Jaffa gate In the west wall. King Abdullah's troops then crawled from door to door through the Armenian quarter to Zion gate, virtually sealing off the Jewish quarter within the old city from other Jewish forces in the new city. Reports reaching legion head quarters . claimed there was seri ous dissension among the Jews because Harganah promised to clear the old city of Arabs six days ago and failed to do so. ; Four Bend Girls To Attend Camp Four Bend . high school girls, members of next year's senior class, have been named by the American Legion auxiliary to at tend the annual Girls' Slate en campment, to be held this year June 14-21 at the Willamette uni versity campus In Salem.
