REFORM THE INITIATIVE
With the initiated bill for old age pensions approved by
the voters Joe E. Dunne, leader in the movement, finds him
8elf embarrassed. All that was intended by the bill, he ex
plains, was to raise'the minimum old-age assistance payments
in Oregon to $50 a month from the present average of $47.26.
What approval of the bill has done, however, has been to de
stroy the credit of the state, jeopardize state funds of what
ever origin or for whatever purpose, end federal aid hitherto
available for old-age assistance and threaten unbearable bur
dens on taxpayers who, and who only, can be called on to
supply the funds necessary to meet the $50 charge. Also, on
the basis of Dunne's explanation the hopes of many, many
citizens will be dashed.
None of these deplorable results was intended, Dunne indi
cates, and he, with the bill's other sponsors, is ready to go
before the legislature to urge that the changes be made that
W11 avoid them and secure simply the result that he now savs
was all that was intended. The legislature can, of course, act
w amena or repeal the law as it has acted in the past with
respect to other initiated measures. With the Townsend
crowd, led by Dunne, in agreement that there should be
changes we imagine that there will be fast action as soon as
the legislature meets.
The incident if that simple word may be used as a name
for all that is involved here draws attention to the great
weakness of the initiative as it operates in Oregon. Any
group may get together uad prepare a bill for presentation
to the people. It may provide for any number of completely
bad results, as does this Dunne pension bill, but with sufficient
voter appeal, as had the Dunne bill in its name, it will carry,
as has this Dunne bill.
Compare this with the procedures for the enactment of
legislation by elected representatives. A bill is introduced, it
Is referred to a committee, there are hearings. If the bill gets
out of committee it may be in a changed form, other amend
ments may be made in the course of passage. By the time it
gets to the governor for his approval it has gone through a
-process of refinement that has "taken out the bugs" and left
a measure that is as sound and workable as can be built in
hours of study and debate wherein both critics and propon
ents have participated. .
.That short summary, of course, does not take into account
the possibility that the bill, though it embodies principles de
sired by the people, does not get out of committee or through"
the legislature. It was for the purpose of meeting such con
tingencies that the initiative was devised giving the people
law making powers. And out of such powers there can come
such a mess as J oe Dunne has gotten us into.
Some method should be devised to improve the processes
of the initiative so that bills presented to the people by that
method have the benefit of a better polish. The people are not
likely to abandon the initiative itself but they should be in
terested in sound improvement. j
Under the federal price support program potatoes growi
in this region were recently purchased for use in school
lunches, Ssuch purchases are certainly more suitable than
purchase in mid-west points and shipment across country

Washington The first boat
load of displaced person Immi
grants arriving In New York is
advance guard for 201,187 more
war refugees expected to follow
in the next two years.
It's going to be a bigger and
harder Job than was anticipated,
says Ugo Carusi, chairman of the
displaced persons commission,
set up to handle the Job. But he
thinks it can be done.
Biggest catch discovered in the
operation so far is a restriction in
the DP law as passed by congress.
Senators Smith of New Jersey
and Mcd'rath of Rhode Island and
Congressman Keating of New
York indicated they will move
for amendment of the law in the
next congress. But as it stands
today, 40 per cent of the persons
admitted must be former resi
dents of a country now annexed
by a foreign power.
me way tnis works out. it
means that 80,800 of the 202,000
to be admitted must be refugees
from countries like Esthonla, Lat
via, Lithuania and parts of Poland
and East Prussia now under so
viet domination.
Most of the refugees from this
area are Protestants. And the
Protestant organizations haven't
been as active as Catholic and
Jewish organizations In arrang
ing for admission of refugees of
their faith.
.
About 8000 individual applica
tions requesting the admission of
specific DP's have been received
at Displaced Persons commission
headquarters in Washington thus
far. New applications are coming
in faster than they can be han
dled. At present the only applica
tions being processed are from
people who have known blood rel
atives or close friends In DP
camps and are able to give satis
factory guarantees tnat tne immi
grants admitted will have ade
quate housing and a Job. The ap
plicant must also guarantee that
the DP's transportation will be
paid from port of arrival to fu
ture home.
port of arrival to future home..
Individual, unclassified applica
tions from U. S. residents writing
in to ask for a maid, a farmer and
his wife, three carpenters or four
skilled needlecraft workers
without naming the refugees
wanted are being put aside until
the applicants can be investigated.
If some private organization is
willing to make the required
guarantees, tne commission
will approve applications. The
commission is now working
through a score or more church
and charitable organizations that
have Interested themselves in
the problem. There arc perhaps
100,0 00 applications in their
hands.
e e
Another type of public organi
zation which In the future Is ex
pected to play a bigger part in
ffettlnff DP's distributed in rural
areas throughout the country is
the state agency, fclgmeen siaies
have already set up agencies to
work with the DP commission in
finding homes and Jobs for DP's
while at tbe same time helping
their farm operators find farm
labor and tenants. The law speci
fies that 30 per cent of the DP's
admitted must be agricultural
labor.
The way the system works
now, anyone writing a letter to
the commission asking how he
can get a DP maid or farm hand,
will get back a form fo fill out
in triplicate. On this form, which
must be sworn to before a notary
public, the applicant guarantees
that the DP admitted will not be
come a public charge.
All applications must be Inves
tigated or sponsored by a reput
able welfare organization. Appli
cations approved are sent to U.
S. representatives at the DP
camps overseas. There represen
tatives of the U. S. DP commis
sion and IRO the International
Refugee organization determine
who is eligible to fill the applica
tion. The DP selected must then pass
an army screening test to make
sure that no security risks are In
volved. Finally, the DP must
meet requirements of U. S. public
health and Immigration services.

Movie Star of Former Days
Wowed His Fans Hard Way
By Virginia Muc I'Iktkoh
I united rrexn (.orri-xj!!Utnt,
Hollywood, Nov. 8 When
William Farnum was wowing
the ladies for a fabulous $520,000
a year, he did it the hard way
and promised himself he'd retire
some day. He never did. He Just
makes movies the newfangled
way and figures that's the same
thing.
Farnum U white-haired now
and 72. And as far as he's con
cerned, this modern-day acting is
sissy stuff.
When he and the late Tom
Santschi staged their now-legendary
fight in "The Spoilers" they
didn't fake it, the way the Tech
nicolor heroes do. Santschi lost
three teeth and Farnum got a
broken nose, a fractured hand,
and a blood clot on his cheek that
almost killed him later. .
"We both went to the hospital
for three days," he said. "Nowa
days they don't even let you pare
fingernail yoursell." -
Farnum has been acting for 59
yean and making movies since
1912. That was in the old silent
days when he was the handsom
est he-man in Hollywood, one of
the finest actors, and the highest
Heavy Cruiser
Will Be Target
Seattle, Nov. 8 UB The heavy
cruiser Pensacola, which Japa
nese maklkaze pilots nearly sank
off Iowa Jima and which surviv
ed the atom bomb tests at Bikini,
today prepared for its final
cruise.
The navy announced that the
veteran 9,100-ton ship will be
sunk by first task fleet carrier
planes, cruisers, destroyers and
destroyer escorts in exercises off
the Washington coast Wednesday.
The Pensacola was permeated
with radioactivity from the Biki
ni tests.
"This is an opportunity for
maximum training of the gun
ners and bombers of the task
fleet," said its commander,
Read admiral L. T. Dubose.. The
fleet is visiting Seattle during
navy week.
The 585 '4-foot cruiser, commis
sioned Mi 1930, survived heavy
attacks In which 17 men were
killed and 120 wounded during
the last stages of the war.
After the Bikini tests, she was
brought .to the Bremerton, Wash.,
navy yai d for scientific tests.
Adequate Supply
Of Oil Forecast
Chicago, Nov. 8 Hl'i There will
be no shortage of gasoline and
fuel oils this winter, an oil indus
try executive said today.
John sW. Boatwrlght of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana
told the'openlng session of the
28th annual meeting of the Amer
ican Petroleum Institute that
only in the field of kerosene and
distillates does the Industry face
a challenge."
"The question of adequacy of
oil supply no longer has the criti
cal news value that it did a few
months ago," he said.
paid of all at $10,000 a week, ov-
cry week of the year.
He earned every penny of it,
too. Nobody had thought of dou
bles yet.
"On one picture I almost got
killed," Farnum said. "We were
on location in Yosemite valley In
the winter and I slipped on the ice
at Glacier point.
"Another 12 inches and I'd have
plunged 9000 feet to the rocks be
low. Nowadays they'd do the
scene In a sound stage with a
fake picture in the background."
Atom Radiation
Affects Trout
Seattle, Nov. 8 Ml') Fish ex
posed to atomic radiation produce
tremendously more abnormal off
spring than normal fish, an atom
ic energy commission report dis
closed today.
The report was based on a Uni
versity of Washington study. Uni
versity scientists under Dr. Rich
ard Fredrick Foster and Dr. Lau
ren R.' Donaldson worked with
X-rays and trout. X-rays were
likened to the damaging gamma
ray in atom bombs.
The heaviest exposure used, the
report said, was 2,500 roentgen
units a light "dose" as compared
with Initial atom bomb rays.
Very few fish eggs obtained from
parents exposed to 2,500 roent
gens developed. None of them
hatched.
Embryos Changed
Lighter radiation produced mal
formed embryos, the report said,
although no new types of malfor
atlon were noted. The number of
misshapen embryo increased in
relation to the amount of expos
ure, the scientists found.
The report said experiments
are continuing with the third gen
eration of fish In an effort to find
how similar radiation would af
fect human beings.

will go to potato flour plants and
others will be used for livestock
feed. Some may also go to the
school lunch program.
The total amount to be purchas

Ocean Storm
Leaves Town
As an Island
Bayocean, Ore., Nov. 8 HI'' The
town of Bayocean which was
launched as an Island in the sea
after a storm five days ago, still
held 70 residents today who hop
ed It would become a peninsula
again.
Another attempt to bridge a
250-foot gap as waves tumbled
from the Pacific ocean into Tilla
mook bay was scheduled to start
at low tide. Reports of evacua
tions were "all wrong," said Bay
ocean water superintendent Rus
sell Hoover.
The community's road, drink
ing water and food supplies were
cut off except for ferry trips.
Hoover said federal aid would be
sought to make the island part of
the bay's westside peninsula and
that work would continue this
week.

field, even at wide apertures,
operating refinements and con
venience rarely found on large

about the Bantam and the Ko
dak 35 t3.5 with range finder.

beautiful color transparencies
you'll next be wanting good
projection. The Camera Dept.
