Reapportion
riefs Filed in
Supreme Court
Time for Candidates
To File Cut Short by
Legal Procedure
By JAMES 1). OLSON
Briefs were tiled Wednesday in
tlie state supreme court by State
Rep. Dave Baum of La Grande,
challenging the reapportionment
measure passed by the voters at
the 1953 general election.
The brief was filed shortly after
noon by John F. Stcclhammcr of
Salem and George T. Cochran of.
LaGrandc. At the time of filing
the brief the attorneys also filed a
petition asking the court to set the
case for hearing of arguments on
February 25.
Baum last month served notice
of intention to file an appeal
against the decision of Circuit
Judge Rex Kimmcll of Marion
county, who upheld the consti
tutionality of the amendment.
Questions Authority
The appeal is based on the
premise that the amendment del
egates what Baum calls a legis
lative prerogative to the execu
tive and judicial branches of the
state government. This is based
on sections in the measure pro
viding that in the event the leg
islature fails to reapportion it
self following the taking of each
federal census, the secretary of
state must do so, and or if he
fails, the task- tails on the su
preme court.
The brief further contends that
the stale constitution expressly
grants power to the legislature to
fix the number of senators and
representatives and holds that 1
this grant cannot be exercised by
another body or persons. The re-;
apportionment measure, the brief

Gard Confers
With Cordon
WASHINGTON (LP) Sen. Guy
Cordon (R., Ore.) conferred to
day with Jess Gard, Portland, re-,
publican national committeeman j
for Oregon, on pressing patron-1
age matters, including the
chances of Federal District Judge
James Alger Fee for promotion
to the 9th Circu't Court of Ap
peals. Card's visit tu the nation's
capital also was expected to
bring a series of announcements
from Oregon congressmen on re- j
election plans. Thus far, only ;
Rep. Homer D. Angell of Port-1
land, dean of the states delega
tion, has formally declared him-1
self a candidate. j
Rep. Walter Norblad of Astoria j
and Stayton was reported ready
to announce his intentions after
dropping plans for promotion to
the senate if Cordon retired. As
sociates said Norhlari has no
plans for opposing the senior
senator.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth of Rosc
hurg, a six-termer, and Rep.
Sam Coon of Baker, who is com
pleting his first term, indicated
informally they again will be can
didates. Industrial Fa'r
Billed for 1954
The Salem Industrial Develop
ment Council voted Wednesday to
sponsor an industrial fair for. lite
summer prior to Ihc state fair, a
project under consideration for
several months.
The motion was made by Bill
Hammond after Burr Miller, chair
man of the council's public rela
tions committee, said the commit
tee endorsed the holding of a fair
at its meeting last week.
As presently visioncd the fair
will he held out of doors, probably
in McCulloch stadium, with exten
sive c;hihits by industries of the
area, and with daily entertain
ment features. The council be
lieves that this will give the local
public a much better idea of what
industry is already here and help
industries selling locally to gain
new customers.
No slep have as yet been taken
toward setting up an organization
to plan and hold the fair.
Sunny Skies in Day,
Heavy Frost Nights
Sunny skies continued for Sa
lem anil valley regions Wednes
day morning, though the min
imum temperature dropped an
other notch, registered at 26 de
grees. Each morning so far this
week, the mercury has been one
degree lower than for the pre
ceding day.
The fair weather is due to con
tinue through the next day or
two, with low minimums at
night.

Church Council
Brings Legislators
And Clergy to City
Bv FRED ZIMMERMAN
The Oregon Council of Churches
in session at the First Christian
church delved into the field of
politics Wednesday forenoon with
three state senators and one rep
resentative providing the food
for thought.
Through the medium of a politi
cal seminar bearing the title "The
Church' Must Be Concerned," and
with Senator Phil Hitchcock in the
role of moderator, Senators Howard
Bclton and Richard Neuhcrger,
together with Rep. Mark Hat
field, advanced their theories as
to the responsibility of the
church to' the affairs of state.
Problems with which govern
ment must deal are quite frequently
those which should be the concern
of the church, said Senator Bclton.
He said that it was not strange
that there is corruption in gov
ernment because there is no seg
ment of society that is not simi
larly afflicted. In this connec
tion he believed corruption is
greatly over-emphasized.

Tugboat Strike
Again Delayed
NEW YORK Ml - A threatened
strike of tugboat crewmen that
would have crippled New York
ha-bor and cut off a large part of
the city's food and fuel supplies
was postponed Wednesday.
The action came after an all
night mediation session, at which
union representatives agreed to
submit a new management offer to
the membership Sunday afternoon.
"In the meantime, the status quo
will be maintained until after the
meeting," Joseph E. O'Gray, di
rector of the city's division of labor
relations, said.
The midnight deadline for the
walkout passed without incident
because negotiation sessions were
continuing. Engaged in the discus
sions were city and federal media
tors, representatives of the tugboat
companies and of local 333, United
Marine Division of the old Inter
national Longshoremen's Associa
tion. Alcoa Praises

there.
"We can see the difference

Mololov Offers
Plebiscite Plan
For Germany
BERLIN un Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Mololov proposed
Wednesday that 68 million Ger
mans choose in a general plobis
cite between alliance with West
ern Europe and an immediate
peace treaty.
The Russian fired his new broad
side in the Big Four conference,
apparently engaged in a running
battle to ward off a united Ger
many tied to the West. Mololov
le off the ninth day's session of
the Berlin parley with a sharp at
tack on EDC and then unloaded
his plebiscite plan.
French Foreign Minister Bi
duult, presiding for the day, voiced
an immediate objection to the ref
erendum plan, contending that
free German elections as pro
posed by the West would take
caro of all that.
Vote One Issue Only
What Mololov demanded was a
nation-wide balloting on one issue
only: y . . !
Choose between the proposed ,
Western treaties for huropean de

lieves the United States is going

thing will turn out all right.

believes the prosperity of a coun
try lies in the prosperity of its .
masses, not in the-wealth of any

His statement followed an ex- -
prcssion of opinion by Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey Tues
day that the country is undergoing
a "rolling readjustment" which is
nothing to be disturbed about.
Sticks by Decision
In response to a question, Eisen
hower said he I' sticking by his
decision that it will not ie wise to
try to raise the minimum wage of
75 cents an hour at this time of
economic transition. '
Ray Schcrer of the National

as a feeling in some quarter that
it is practically un-American to
say there is a recession going on.
Eisenhower laughed and then
said this is a free country and
