The Oregon flag is to lake its
prideful place as a result of the

matter to various patriotic so
cielics and the responsibility for
its purchase was assumed by the
Oregon Societies Sons of the
Amnrimn Revolution and the
sister society, Daughters of the

01 Dewey Forecast
Lincoln, Neb., April 21 OT
Governor Dwight Griswold de
clared at a press conference to
day that "it is evident now"
that Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York will be
nominated for president at the
republican national convention
"on any ballot the Dewey forces
may choose."
;. Griswold said that the Dewey
forces "may allow a ballot or
two for favorite sons, but Dewey
could go in in the first, second,
or third ballot, whichever they
chose."
- Griswold, mentioned as a
possible candidate for the vice
presidential nomination, said
that Dewey will be in a posi
tion to select that nominee "if
he wishes." Griswold, like
Dewey, is not an avowed candi
date. Griswold has never an
nounced himself as a candidate
for the vice presidential nom
ination. Vested Choir to

At (he evening service the

The three officials issued a
joint statement asserting the
necessity of manpower legisla

Association of Manufacturers
and the Association of Ameri

"Such legislation is necessary,
in our opinion," they said, "to
insure the success of essential

universal application is not, in
our opinion, necessary. What is
needed is a low so designed as

Holman Tells
Of Dissatisfaction
Washington, April 21 IIP)
Senator Holman (R-Ore.), re
turning to Washington after the
Easter vacation, said he found
Oregonians concerned about the
welfare of their sons and daugh
ters in the, armed forces, the
lack of success of the Italian
attack and the failure to open
a second front in Europe.
"They wonder," Holman said
in a statement, "to what extent
the commander in chief has in
terfered and is interfering with
the work of trained and com
pclitent officers on the army
general statt and on the staff
of the chief of naval operations."
The senator said he found
dissatisfaction widely expressed
because there is no rationing of
food in British Columbia but
just across the Canadian border
in Washington and Oregon there
is strict rationing. He said they
were dissatisfied with the way
lend-lease operations are going
and added that reports of spoil
age of food, fiber, and manu
factured goods excited adverse
comment.

such as the provisions being
made for the proposed amend
ment to' our state constitution
for a change in the new law
giving schools a part of the in
come tax for an offset to the
property tax. The new proposed
amendment would give the dis
tricts 45 cents a day for school
attendance instead of a little
over 17 cents. This would only
bring Oregon up in line with
other west coast states and most
of the states in the union, and
would not add any more prop
erty tax as Oregon's wealth is
not on the farms now. School
tax data was given out showing
the amount of tax voted for all
schools in the county, the state
school fund and the amounts
the districts voted for property
tax. In the four East Salem dis
tricts this past year the sums
voted to run the four schools
was $12,279.50 with only $4931.
