Ye Serec Well
"'. 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.

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.

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

sition from labor leaders. Me holds

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.

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.

SUNDAY, JULY 24th 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
At the A. A. LARSEN RANCH 3 miles East on the Burns Highway, 2 miles
South. Look for the Larsen signs marked in Red. '
You'll marvel at this unique demonstration with the amazing new CLEAR
ING BLADE which has been patented by Mr. A. A. Larsen. The blade pictured
on the front of the hydraulic system is 6 foot in width and is lowered 5 inch
es below the surface of the ground. The sage brush is pulled up by the roots
and is pushed by a specially constructed 8 foot rake to the side where it can
easily be bunched and burned. In ordinary sage brush, -you can clear an aver
age of one acre per hour. This process doesn't plow up the ground and soil
is ready for immediate planting. The blade and rake will fit most tractors
with hydraulic lift assembled on the front and are easily connected. Blade
has only 2 connections and rake only 4.
