A. E. Stevens, "Bert" to his many friends, did not seek the Deschutes county commissionership, we reca when it was vacated by the resignation 0f E. H. Young Jl years ago. But once he had accepted, his perform ance in office supported fully the judgment of those who had chosen him. Election in 1948 and reelection in 1952 prolonged his usefulness and official service to the people of Deschutes county. His long residence here since the days when Bend was really little more than a hamlet provided a back ground front which the new commissioner could do a considerably better than average job. While he was doing it he demonstrated steadily the fallacy of the latter-day theory that men at 65 are ready for the shelf, lie was active, constructively so, up to the day of his death. He was 79 years old. YearrBut. Washington Impressions WASHINGTON A person can't stay in Washing ton more than two or three hours without being proud he's iyi American citizen. For it's here that so much of our modern history has been written and so many important chapters have been added to the history of the world. Visitors approaching Washington by plane get a fast view of a lot of things, the Potomac, the Pentagon, the big monuments near the river, the White House and the Capitol. Get off the plane, walk through the blistering heat and muggy humidity and grab a cab, and you see more reminders of history on your way to the hotel. (Incidentally, we wrote a couple of new definitions after spending a day here. A taxicab is the fastest way to travel the distance between two air-conditioned build ings. Shorts are articles of apparel which most women should not wear in public, but which a surprising number of Washington tourists wear, even in the Senate and .House office buildings and in the Capitol building.) Spend a day chasing from office to office, seeing .people who might have an idea, some influence or pos pibly some inside information on the situation you're working on, you see still more history. Statues are every where, and you pass institutions like the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, The Supreme Court and others We saw Representative Sam Coon had lunch with him in the House restaurant and Senators Neubei ger and Morse today. We're having breakfast with Senator Morse tomorrow morning. Wo spent a tow minutes lis tening in the House to the debate on the social security bill, and sat in for a short time on a Senate hearing on a treaty. Senator Morse was one of the members of the committee hearing the involved testimony. (Sitting in the hearing room was a group of about 25 observers. They included a number of tourists, ranging in ago from five to 85, a Wave lieutenant, an old man wearing the greasiest suit we'd ever seen and a couple of Iho ever-present women in shorts.) The heat is something to contend with back here. In one way it makes the streets very easy on your feet, be . cause the pavement is almost spongy. But by the time the ; warmth works its way through your clothing, shoes, ; etc., you're willing to admit It's hot. U was 91 today, with ; a humidity that seemed to be at least 90 per cent. ; Washington newspapers seem more familiar to a ; casual reader than do most away-from-homo publications. ; You quickly realize that it's because most of the big lo ; cal stories are big stories In the paper back home, for the big stories hero concern government. There's a transit strike in Washington, the busses ; are all stopped pending settlement. This has led to one thing. Louis Wolfson, the financial tycoon who was in- volved in the Montgomery Ward fight a few months ago and who has the controlling interest in the transit system. would easily win a contest to determine the most unpop - ular man in town. And anyone who thinks busses add to traffic conges tion should see the congestion early in the morning and late in the afternoon when the busses aren't running and everyone is driving a car. Tomorrow we have appointments, with Richard E. McArdle, Chief of the U. S. Forest Service, and Assist ant Secretary of Agriculture Peterson on the Crescent l.ako matter. We expect to leave for ISeiul Wednesday. .' r.w.c.

Ohio's Lausche Not Aspiring To Presidency KDITOK'S NOTK: Gov. Frank J. Latttche, Ohiu'H five-term Dem- eratic governor, lit being Molted frequently as a poHMlhle presidential candidate next .year. In the following exclusive Inter view with United Press, the gov ernor says he Is not Interested. By HASKELL SHOUT United Press Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS, Ohio (UP) Demo cratic Gov. Frank J. Lausche said today, "I have no amhition to run for President." The five-term governor, whose name frequently pops up as a possible presidential candidate next year, said, "In my heart, I have no desire to run for the presi dency." The governor attributes the oc casional mention of his name as presidential possibility to the over-enthusiasm of his friends. As the Midwest's most consist ent Democratic winner, Lausche has had support for the nation's top office from Southern govern ors and from some Lastcni inter ests. uMany feel he may be a good bet as a compromise candidate if a daadlock develops in the Demo cratic national convention in Chi cago next year. Favorite Son ('Hiiriidute Lausche's friends, however, have not ruled out the possihibty the bushy-haired governor might con sent to be Ohio's "favorite son" in next May's primaries to name del egates to the convention. They pic?-1 ture Lausche as "concerned" that the "political bosses" he has long denounced may attempt to gain control of the state's delegation for their own selfish uses in trad ing." Lausche. in an interview, left the door open to run for governor again next year or to enter the contest for U. S. Senator. If he chooses the latter course, he would shoot for the seat held by Republi can George H. Bender of Cleveland. I cannot say now what I will do a year from now," the gover nor said. "Events are changing with such rapidity, both on the state and national level, that it is impossible for me at this time to tell what my future course of action may be," Lausche said. Kepu hit eu lis Kept (iiiessTug P.cpublicans wish they knew. Thr conservative governor has won five times out of six in a state that elects Republican senators, u Republican legislature, and Repub lican stale officials. He carries the hig industrial centers despite oppo sition from labor leaders. Me holds his own in the rural areas. In 1951!. Lausche ran almost as well in Ohio as did President Eisenhow er. The governor's opponent was Charles P. Tnft of Cincinnati, brother of the late Sen. Robert A Taft. The governor told newsmen af ter winning his fourth term in a row last fall that he did not plan to run for the office again. He repeated the statement publicly several times. But he hedged by saying he had done everything pos sible to get out of the race except actually announce he was getting out. ill ii f . if IfJ t 1 It t , S f 1 jwJ I - P i '.1 Shooters Earn Higher Marks Spoei.it to The llulMin MAnKAN--Advancement in mnk c.inird hv seven members Mount .Tcffci son Uiflc mid Pistil i lnh. minor division, h is been re pn ted by J.ihn T.

Shortage of Hay Is in Prospect SH-chil to The Bulletin PRINEVILLE A crop survey of Crook county this week by Gus Woods, .county agricultural agent, indicates that hay will be in short supply here this summer due to the prolonged cold spring. Rains in late June were too late to be of assistance and in some cases brought hardship when hay was already down in the fields. The potato crop will bo good. however, Woods said, in spite of some frosting of young plants on one or two cold nights. The grain forecast is average for irrigated areas, thougn the dry-lancl larm ors were unable to get any crop this year due to lack of winter moisture. Hay harvest is well underway in Crook county and has been com pletely harvested in some of the lower-level ranches. LOTS OF GKOCKKIKS CORVALLIS, Ore..
