Editorial Memories
There was an occasion in the long ago when Bend
played host to Oregon newspapermen at a convention con
sidered memorable, for several reasons :
Colin V. Dyment of the University of Oregon present
ed a proposed code of ethics for newspapermen that was
later adopted. The dinner meeting of the group was held
on the shore of a lake, under Central Oregon stars. A pro
gram outstanding in the history of the association was
presented.
That convention was 35 years ago, in July, 1921. It
was the annual meeting of the early-day Oregon Editor
ial Association. The late Claude E. Ingalls of Corvallis
was president.
Bend got into its best bib and tucker for the occasion
certain that the visiting editors would fully tell the world
about the new city on the Deschutes, in the pinelands of
the eastern Cascades.
Those editors of yesteryear came here over rutted,
dusty roads. Some crossed the Cascades from Eugene over
the historic "ladder" at the McKenzie pass summit. None,
possibly, attempted to get traction on Seven Mile hill of
the Santiam.
Leading west from Bend to Elk lake was a fright
fully dusty road, full of curves and ruts. Over that road
OEA hosts took about 100 editors and their wives. A din
ner was served at the edge of the lake. Music drifted
across the water. Summer stars wheeled around the South
Sister and moved over Bachelor's white slope.
Residents of Bend were proud of their Cascade front
yard in those days. Editors agreed that the scenic Des
chutes region was unsurpassed in Oregon.
Now in J956, editors and publishers of a new gener
ation are here. Again Bend is in bib and tucker, but with
a raincoat handy. In the group will not be more than three
who were here in 1921.
But those few will repeat for the many the story of
the historic convention of 35 years ago.
Welcome to Bend, publishers and editors. We hope
your stories of the 1956 convention will be worthy of re
peating to young newspapermen 85 years from now.

trcmont, Oregon prison inmate
serving a life sentence tor his part
in a train roubei-y that resulted in
the lives of three trainmen and a
mail clerk, yesterday had one
avenue blocked in his bid to be
paroled.
Circuit Judge II. K. llanna,
armed with affidavits, had the 1927
trial record amended to show that
D'Autremont, along with his twin
brothers, Ray and Roy. had
waived the right to speedy trial
on three of the counts against
them when they received life sen
tences on the fourth.
Recently Hugh D'Autremont had
sought to have the remaining
counts dismissed on the grounds
that it stood In the way of a pos
sible parole.
The action by Judge Hanna, in
effect, would remove D'Autre-
mont's chance at having the
counts dismissed on the grounds
that he had not been granted a
speedy trial.
District Attorney Walter Nunley
presented affidavits to show that
the agreement to waive right to n
: speedy trial had been reached and
that, through error, the official
I records did not contain the information.

The Payoff
Over the past three or four years much has been said
about the "giveaway" voted by Congress when the so
called Tidelands Oil Bill was passed in 1953.
Now another aspect of the situation has been pointed
out.
Congress voted to give the states control of the waters
and the minerals under those waters out to their
historic boundaries. The feeling was that this would pro
vide maximum development of the resources. The federal
government retained control past the boundaries, wher
. the greatest majority of known oil resources existed.
In view of this background, it is interesting to note
eome comparative figures recently made available.
During the 1917-52 period when the federal govern
ment had sole control of the Tidelands, it received less
than $ 10 million in lease and royalty payments from oil
drillers.
(This apparently was because of the fight between
the states and the federal government. Oil companies did
not know with whom they should be dealing, so they stay
ed out of the game.) 1
Since Congress cleared up the confusion in 1953 with
the so-called Tidelands Act, the government has received
$2G0 million for drilling rights.
This is only the beginning. The government receives
a one-eighth royalty on yery barrel of oil produced. So
far most of the payments have been for drilling bonuses,
and the royalty payments are just beginning to come in
in sizeable amounts. As these royalties increase, the gov
ernment's share will become bigger yet.
Quite a giveaway.

Just Graduated... To a Cadillac !
It's graduation time! And this happy gentleman
appropriately enough has just gone through
some important graduation exercise, of hii own.
It vbs just a few minutes ago, in fact, that he
stood in hi dealer', ghonroom and accepted the
keys to his first Cadillac car.
But even though he now holds his final degree, to
to speak, in motor car ownership, his education in
all Ihe good things of motordom is only beginning.
Take performance, for intnc. The car is 10
smooth and powerful, and so nimble and obedient
that it automatically revises a man'a standards of
automotive performance.
Consider comfort. Rolling along the broadest'
boulevard or taking the roughest bylane, the car
is incredibly smooth andevel in ride.
And think about pride and satisfaction. What
an extraordinary feeling it is to sit in command of
the "car of cars" and find yourself the subject
of admiring glances on every hand.
Have you ever considered how wonderful it
would be to "graduate" to Cadillac? If you have,
then this is a marvelous time to make the move.
Certainly, it has never been tautr to sign
your name to the title. We are, happily, in a posi
tion to offer you prompt delivery on your favorite
model and w know you will be pleased to learn
how practical Cadillac ownership has now become.
Why not stop in while the springtime is still
with us and spend an hour at the wheel?
It's a wonderful season and a wonderful car
and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy them both!
