NEARLY 700 NEW LAWS
I The 1953 Oregon legislative session adjourned at the
close of its 100th day, having passed nearly 700 bills of
tne izb3 introduced to set a new record. Governor Pat-
terson has already signed 434 of them into law. The 1951
session lasted 116 days, passing 645 bills of the 1214 in
troduced. Unless some rational limit is placed on the in
troduction of so many needless and unnecessary bills, en
forcing wasted and costly time, legislative sessions of the
future will increase in length and costs.
It is a little early to correctly summarize the session's
record as perspective of time is necessary to discover the
special interest jokers and grabs slipped through which
always materialize later but the legislative record seems
s fair one though there is so necessity of so many new
laws to add to legal confusion.
ihe legislature balanced the budget for the coming
bienmum beginning July 1, but it is based on high income
taxes and a business recession could place it in the red.
New tax exemptions to conform with the federal $600
exemption will decrease revenue somewhat, but it is jus
ticiable.
The Associated Press compiles the 10 most important
accomplishments of tne session as follows
1. Expand Oregon's teacher training program by adding train'
Ing of high ichool teacher and liberal arts counes at tne col
leges of education, adding elementary training at the unlverilty
and state colleges, and provide four-year liberal arts courses
ana teacher training at Portland State College.
.. 2. Simplify the state's tax system by putting income tax re
celpts Into the state's general fund.
3. Make It illegal for public eating, lodging and amusement
puices to aucrimtnaie against minority groups.
4. Open up the welfare rolls to public Inspection and tighten

WHERE THE MINORITY RULES
You may recall our comment on Malan's victory in
South Africa immediately following the election there,
we voiced regret and predicted that it forecasted eventual
tragedy for both colored and white people there.
But we assumed at the time that the vote at least rep
resented the views of a majority of the 2,500,000 white
persons living in that country. Ten mililon colored peo
ple were not allowed to vote.
. However, it develops that Malan's opposition cast a
decided majority of the votes, 758,000 to 626,000. In
1948 when Malan's crowd took over the vote was 617,000
against them, 462,000 for them.
; How did they win and how do they retain power in the
face of a decisive majority vote against them? Because
South Africans express themselves by electing members
: of their parliament The rural areas where the Boers
or Dutch usually dominate are over-represented, the urban
areas dominated by the British are under-represented.
And the Boers who are now ruling obviously aren't going
to correct this condition.
So a minority of the whites who are themselves only
20 per cent of the population push the majority of the
whites and all the colored peoples around with vicious
From this distance it looks like South Africa is heading
for plenty of trouble, with only a minority of the white
minority instead of a majority of the white minority to
blame. But all are going to suffer.

Neil Brown of Parrlsh Junior
high school, and Miss Ruth
Ingram, public health nurse,
will speak to parents on prob
lems confronting students en
tering junior high school for
the fall term.
Washington Senators who
serve on Senators McCarthy's
Investigation committee but
are seldom consulted about
its helter-skelter probes, are
curious, to put it mildly, over
the reported European antics
of its two Junior G-Men.
They are Roy Cohn and Dav
Id Schine, whom McCarthy sent
to Europe to Investigate air
planes at the taxpayers' ex
pense, got their pants mixed
up, and engaged in a brawl In
the Hotel Adler.
The two junior G-men, now
know as Mc-men, have denied
that Schine hit Cohn over the
head with a rolled-up maga
zine In the hotel corridor or
that the chambermaid later
found their room turned
topsy-turvey. But down Id
Florida last year, somewhat
the same thing happened in
the Boca Raton hotel, owned
by Myer Schine, when his son
David jumped on his fellow
Mc-man. Cohn wanted to
leave, but papa Myer and
mama Hlldegarde Schine per
suaded him to remain.
Regardless of these hotel
battles, the fact Is that these
two young men, aged 25 and
28. who officially represent
the United States abroad,
have been the laughingstock
of Europe.
The Financial Times, one
of England's most conserva
tive papers, in a column
credited to Viscount Bracken
referred to Cohn and Schine
as "two brash young men,"
"scummy snoopers" and "dis
tempered jackals."
Commented the News
Chronicle: "Let McCarthy's
two precocious youngsters . .
be made familiar with the
British hatred ot bullying
honest officials to serve the
ulterior purpose of a fanatic
In authority." . . .
"McCarthylsm," continued the
News Chronicle, "has done

Lord Beaverbrook's Dally
Express voiced similar sentl
ments. "McCarthy," It said
editorially, "it seeking to pro
mote bitterness ' between
Britian and America," thereby
playing "Malenkovs game."
STUtoT "WASTE"
In Germany the Frankfurt
Abenpost a conservative non-
political newspaper, confined
itself to the following frac-
tural account of the , two
junior Mc-men:
"The first impression of
these two in Bonn was re
ceived by high commission
officials partly , with humor
and partly with annoyed dis
appointment. McCarthy's two
chief Investigators, Roy Cohn
25, and David' Schine, 26,
came to Bonn from Frank
furt at 11 o'clock Sunday
evening. On' this same even
ing, they Interviewed James
Hoffnagle, a public affairs
officer, at the Hotel Adler in
In Bad Godesberg during the
course of a dinner which
lasted for more than two
hours. The dinner cost more
than $25. The two investi
gated said they had come to
Europe In order to study
waste and mismanagement in
the American Information
Program.'

learned that they did not ask

Public Affairs Office at the
high commission that they
should be available Monday
morning at 8 o'clock. They
themselves, however, were de
layed and arrived at the high
commission building shortly
before 11 o'clock.
WRONG TROUSERS
"Then the event occurred
which still is a main topic of
conversation. At 12:30, Mr.
Schine announced that he put
on the wrong trousers. A
driver was sent to the hotel
in order to pick up the. right
ones. Mr. Schine put them on
and then discovered that his
notebook was missing. He

Fire, accompanied by a 50-
mile an hour wind and a dust
storm that covered Salem and
the vicinity Wednesday after
noon, caused Salem fire depart
ment to answer 15 alarms up
to i:so p.m., six reaching the
central department between
9:07 and 9:42 sun.
Wednesday afternoon the sun
had a weak, red glow as dur
ing a heavy forest fire and it
was but little lighter than twi
light because of dust that ob
scured the sun. For several
hours 6alem was entirely cut
off from the outside world
when all mainline telegraph
and telephone lines failed due
to wind damage. The 80-mile
gale that started In Salem yes
terday afternoon continued
throughout the night with In
creasing force and Into Wed

dust and cinders over the city
that has already resulted in

ing gale and encouraged by the

A, woman is more sensible.
She merely slips her feet into
her slippers. NO lost motions.
Why can't men wear shoes like
that?
Take shaving. It requires
about 200 razor strokes. If a
man shaves every day for 50
years, that means 3,650,000
arm movements. Naturally,
anything you do 3,650,000
times Is going to shorten your
life.
Science needs to do some
thing about getting rid of
men's beards once and for all
Probably the same Is true of
scalp hair. As It Is now, when
a man's hair starts getting
thin, the more madly and des
perately he combs it, thus cut
ting down his life expectancy.
Take the matter of conver
sation. Women are supposed
to talk more than men. But
do they really? The truth is
women get the most mileage
out of their vocal chords for
the time they use them. They
use conversation either for
relaxing gossip or to deliver
an important message to their
husbands from his sponsor
themselves.
The typical feminine greet
ing Is in efficient quarter Inch
smile. But a man? He breaki
out In a rash of gobbledegood
such as "Hoy're yuh?" and'
"Waddaya know," end "What's
new?" He does this over and
over, all day long, -making
unimportant noises with his
mouth when he should b rest
ing it.
Take exercise. Only mid.
die aged men are foolitb,
enough to believe it keeni
them healthy to zoom up their
blood pressure In a hot sun
swinging a tennis racquet or
following, the spoor of a golf
ball. A mature woman has
the wisdom ot a lady tiger in
a zoo. She knows she can get
all the exercise she needs
merely by stretching,
In this world every motion

spendthrifts of energy, that
leaves them widows.

this theory, Frances said:

It might. But there are tea
