', '"' THE GASOLINE STORAGE LAW
TTse of oversized storage tanks at service stations has of late
been the objective of a number of the oil companies serving
Bend. A city ordinance prohibits storage ot tnis type oui one
company put in two of the big gasoline tanks last year. The
fact of their installation came to light in the course of re
newed commission arguments over the campaign or company
representatives to replace the present ordinance wiin a per
missive one. . .
The story broke about the time that a new city manager
came to Bend. It was a ticklish situation for, after all, the
tanks were in and this had been possible through the fire
chief's acquiescence. A decision was made slightly easier per
haps by the fact that one of the tanks sprung a leak, more
than halt its 4,001) gallon contents escaping, rreviuus com
pany contention had been that the oversized station tanks
were entirely sate. Tne incident 01 tne escaping gasuime mui
cated otherwise. And City manager W. O. Cuthbertson is
ordering these tanks removed. He is to be complimented for
Viia nrnmnt netinn.
Visiting representatives of the Richfield company don't
like it. They have been trying to convince tne aaminisirauuji
that because they did get the tanks installed, ordinance or no
ordinance, they should be permitted to leave them in. This, of
course, does not in the least alter tne tact tnat tne law says,
.. , , , i i j .. ; a i : ..i.
"No VUtner companies men, wno nave ueeii uomg weir ui,
mnut rn fret the Inw ehmired and who had been failing notably.
are probably shaking hands with themselves because they
had not been by-passing the law.
We are pleased with the frank acceptance of, responsibility
made by Fire chief LeKoy Fox. He had told tne on company
officials that it would be quite all right to make the big tank
installations because it saio. so m regulations compiieu uy uie
national board of fire underwriters. After the leak developed
he realized that he was wrong; city law would have been the
better, safer guide. So he stepped up in meeting and admitted
pu,blicly, without equivocation, that the fault was his.
That, we assume, takes care of the gasoline storage matter.
r The incident, however, makes us wonder if there may not be
other local laws, forgotten or overlooked, which a survey
would disclose. If there are such and they are still in keeping
with the needs and welfare of Bend, enforcement is naturally
indicated. If they are not applicable to the Bend of today,
amendment or repeal would be just as desirable.
A lAN'S RESIDENCE
In American political history the record is almost bare of
instances in vhich election to the national house has been
sought by a candidate not a resident of the district that he
hoped to represent, i In Tuesday's special election in New
York to fill the Sol Bloom vacancy there was a near-case of
this sort in the candidacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. who
moved into the district only a few weeks ago. There was no
question made of Roosevelt's ljigti; to run,, however, but his
right to vote was challenged on the gWurid that he had' failed
to meet the provisions of the election law with respect to
residence in the city for the required time.
The challenge failed and in his decision the judge who heard
the case said, "A man's residence is pretty much where he
wants it to be ." We note these words as we recall the
provision of the Mitchell CVA bill that two members of the
authority board "shall be bona fide residents of the region at
the time of their appointment."
Earlier CVA bills have included the requirement that the
directors shall have had a legal residence in the region for a
stated number of years. Why was the change made to bona
fide residence only? So that somebody may move out, say from
Missouri, tomorrow and on such a ruling as that of the New
York judge be available for appointment next week?

enough to choke any ox of a con

for adjournment in July Is Incon

congress to take care of not more
than 40 international and military
matters. But many require ex
tensive hearings, and they take
up the time.
Twenty foreign affairs issues of
top Importance are on the con
gressional docket. Only two have
been made law European recov
ery authorization and relief for
Palestine war victims.
The senate foreign relations
committee is now wrestling with
ratification of the North Atlantic
pact. Final action before mid
June is unlikely. After that the
house must repeat the perform
ance. If the president has any
thing to sign by July he'll be
lucky. For after that, legislation
to authorize and appropriate for
military aid to western Europe
must go through congress.
In the meantime, much other
important international business
is log-jamming up. The house
has passed three-year- extension
of the reciprocal trade agree
ments act, but the senate has yet
to act on it. Even when It is out
of the road, both houses must pass
on the proposal to set up nn In
ternational trade organization to
regulate and stabilize world trad
ing conditions under the United
Nations.
The international wheat agree-,
ment must bo ratified. The KOth
congress failed to get around to
that last year. So the partlclpa't
Ing govcrnnvnts had to re-nego
tiate it this year and give the law
makers another whack at it.

fcrs another case of a job badly
bungled by ' the 80th congress,
which the 81st congress must do
over. The house judiciary com--mittee
has now approved a bill to
admit more DP's and ease up on
unworkable regulations. But in
the senate judiciary committee,
this Issue is bottled up tight. '
Payment of Swiss claims for
damage from U. S. bombers is
still a third hold-over from the
80th congress. Ratification of the
charter for the organization of
American states will require ac
tion by the senate. A number of
United Nations matters are pend
ing. -
Strictly in the national defense
field, but with important bearing
on international affairs, are an
other score of measures which
should be dealt with by the pres
ent congress. So far, congress
has completed action on only the
establishment of the radar de
fense network and provision for
an undersecretary of defense, the
job given to Steve Early. The
house has approved legislation to
provide for the guided-missile test
range and to fix the size of the
air force.
Further revision ol the national
security act, which was supposed
to unify the armed services, is
now before the senate committee
on armed services. Increased pay
for the armed services, training
and drafting of doctors and den
tists, strengthening of the reserve
officers training corps, establish-'
ment of a U. S. air academy, re- i
vision of the military code of jus-!
tlce, and central Intelligence i
agency legislation are still in the
works. I
The matter of drafting espion
age laws to tighten Internal se
curity Is being handled by the jus- j
tlce department.
President Truman's request for !
universal military training, to
which he has stuck doggedly ever
since ho was a senator, has ap
parently been given the goby.
The house armed services commit
tee simply took the allocation for
this out of the military budget and
gave it to the air force to build
more planes.
