Three things, and only three as far as now known, can hap pen. If the cities don't extend relief of some kind, City Transit Lines will go out of business March 1, leaving both cities without bus transportation. The cities can accept the lease agreement offered by the bus company, whereby the cities would take over the operation and employ CTL to run it. This would wipe out some $20,000 a year in slate and federal gasoline taxes and presumably make the lines self-sustaining, since a publicly operated utility, unlike a private operation, wouldn't have to pay these taxes. There is a question whether this arrangement could be made legally. City Attorney John Pennington of Eugene says either a legislative act or a vote of the people would be necessary. City Attorney Chris Kowilz of Saiem thinks the plan would violate the Oregon Constitution, which he thinks prohibits cities from giving subsidies, and a subsidy it would be. The third possibility is that the cities buy the lines outright and operate them as a municipal utility as the Salem water ' utility is now operated. This, of course, would take a vole of the people. The people would not approve it. The question arises whether a bus service is warranted under any plan for Ihc 5 per cent or so of the people who use It. CTL has been tussling with that question a long time. And perhaps the two cilies where CTL operates, Salem and Eugene, will gel at loggerheads about what should be done, which would make it necessary for each to act, independently of the other. It is hinlcd that Eugene is a little more consider ate of the lease plan than Salem. A good word is appropriate for Carl Wendt, general man ager of City Transit Lines. Kor some years ho has done all the negotiating with the city councils and has been frank in pre senting his problems, financial and otherwise, to the city officials. He has forewarned the public of route changes or eliminations and rale revisions. This may arouse a few people who have taken issue with him at times. Nevertheless, lie has given the best service revenues from the operation would permit. Ike's Federal .

In addition, 11 would help school authorities with their planning and fi nancing. All in all, the program will pump over $2 billion Into the schools: Air. Eisenhower asks quick action by Congress to meet Hie "most critical problem In education a mounting classroom shortage, lie staled that thore would be no federal interference with the conduct of the sliools, gency measure designed (o assist and encourage the states and communities in catching up with their needs. He added- "Once Ihc accumulated shortage is overcome, if stale and local autonomy in education is to be maintained, the states and com . munities must meet their future needs with their own resources and the Federal grunt program must terminate." The stales must cooperate with the government to secure these grants. Allotment of funds will be on the basis of school aged children, stale income per school-age child. Federal funds would be matched In the first year from stale or local sources, or both, and thereafter from stale sources alone. The slates with the lowesl income per child would add $1 to every $2 in Federal grants received, for use within the stale, while the stales with the highest Income per child would add S2 to every SI in grant funds. Priority is lo he given within each state to districts in greatest need. Tho annual alloment would be reduced proportionately for slates below the national average both in proportion of their Income devoted lo schools and in their dollar expenditure per pupil, as a limit is fixed on purchases of school bonds by the .

Anniversary al Willaiiiolle The Salem community has scarcely taken notice that Wil lamette university last week observed its Until anniversary. Yes, it is just another anniversary. TlWre' is one' cvorv'vVar. Vet every anniversary at Willamette, -every achievement of its students, its faculty members, it.s alumni, its competing teams ' In sports and forensics, and the constantly growing prestige brought to it hy its executive head are important to Salem. But Willamette is more than just "local," and has been since Its beginning. No institution of learning, in proportion to size of student body, has exerted a wider influence liv the charac ter and activity of Us graduates. Thirty years ago a member of the Oregon Senate, Edward W. Miller, who himself had been a college president, remarked casually in conversation that to name the leaders in Ihc northwest was almost a roll call of Willamette university. And possibly (here is no counlry where Willamcllo graduates haven't gone In the interests' of the Wieners and the aits, the piofessions. iliplnni.nv and religion. Willamette, contrary lo occasional remarks hv the thought less, has never been sectarian in t ho narrow sense. It is a Methodist Institution with highly Christian objectives, built on broad foundation. Many years ago a Willamette president, addressing a church conference, said that "we must think of Christianity in world wide terms." His thought was one of tol erance and understanding for oilier faiths and ways of life. Always, as now, It lias been Willamette's purpose "to teach students to think broadly, logically, ami accurately, and to de velop within the Individual student the Christian philosophy as a motivating force in life." These were wise words by the university's founders, and the words themselves bear serious thought, for their implications are vast. Salem appreciates Its university. Hut Willamette lias been a part of Salem for so long that the community kind of takes it for granted. It is oftener appraised, and favorably so, from afar than it is at home. To those looking for a new place to live or to establish a business or an Industry, Willamette Is always one of Salem's beckoning assets. Secretary of State Mark Hatfield, leader of Oregon's modern Republicanism, was quick to challenge National Committeeman Robert Maul, because Miiutz was quoted as saying i-ometbini; In favor of old-fashioned Republicanism. wbi,h Mauu says he didn't say.

Before the Congressional major ity organized its committees, whose chairmen have virtually fi nal voice over legislation, spokes men for these three groups brack eted their fire on Senator James O. Eastland of Mississippi. Des pite his seniority, they insisted that he be deposed as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he has been able to block Civil Rights measures. They also demanded another vio lation of the sacred seniority sys tem. They asked that House lead ers displace Representative G-ra-ham A. Burden of North Carolina as head of the House Committee on Labor and Education. Like Eastland, Burden has fought "lib eral" legislation affecting labor, education and the desegregation movement. Demos Rejected Protests The House-Senate leadership, as expected, rejected these protests. As a matter of fact, the politically shrewd objectors did not anticipate success, for they recognize the sanctity of Congressional prece dence. ' But other committee selections have really shocked them. They are especially enraged at Senate Democrats' unexpected selection of Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina for the Labor and Pub lic Welfare Committee. Thurmond was so exasperated by Harry S. Truman's New Deal-Fair Deal pro gram that he ran as a States' Rights Democrat in 1MB, and car ried four southern states. Had the Truman-Dewev contest been at all close, he might have turned the White House over to the Republi cans. Even more than Senator East land and Representative Barden. Thurmond embodies principles and ideas which the erstwhile Demo New Federal Budget Biggest News In Washington Today ' By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON-If this corres pondent were asked to say what is really the biggesl news develop ment in the national capital nowa days and yet the one that is being given relatively little attention, it would be the story that surrounds the federal budget Involving J72 billions of expenditure. The recent incident in which Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey expressed tus chagrin at the size of the spending pro gram submitted to Congress by tltc President was generally assumed at first to be merely a difference of opinion between a cabinet offi cer and the chief executive. But the President said It wasn't. What was behind it really was a sense of frustration over the invisible in fluences lhal force items into the budget which the nation cannot af ford. To furnish Estimates The popular impression is that the secretary of the treasury makes up the budget and lhal the President then sends it on to Con gress. Actually, under existing law, the secretary of the treasury has nothing tn do with tho pro posed expenditures listed in the budget. He is commanded by law merely lo furnish estimates of in coming revenue and to propose ways and means of raising money if there is a deficit. As for the individual items of expenditure in the budget, he doesn't see them in ' niivance and has no more to do with their inclusion in the budget outside or his own department than does the secretary of the interior or any other cabinet offi cer. America's irresponsible budget system, its weaknesses and its failures constitute a serious prob lem, yet, because it is an unspec tacular subject and involves such a wide variety of items, the public doesn't come to grips with it. In fact, no concentrated attention is given tn the spending programs as a whole even in the executive branch of the government except : u must be approved or disnp in the office of the President. This' proved as an entitv. That's a re is a full-lime job and a president , spoiiMble svslcin Rut in the ease cannot give it detailed attention.

Furious Union Comment , Under the heading. "Senate Democratic Leaders Insult Labor," John L. Lewis' United Mine Work ers Journal carries this savage comment. "This Insulting appointment, unanimously opposed by labor's representatives on Capitol Hill, could give the Dixiecrat-Republi-can coalition in Congress control of a committee that for many years has been composed of Sen ate liberals. "Senator Thurmond Is probably the worst choice that could have been made for this post. He is an out-and-out anti - labor Dixiccrat States' Riphter, a racial bigot and he bolted the Democratic Party in 1948 to run for the Presidency on the States' Rights Party ticket. 'His appointment was made by the Senate . Democratic Steering Committee, which is dominated by Senator Lyndon Johnson, Texas Democrat." Dlile-GOP Coalition The Lewis publication also charged that the House Committee on Education and Labor, with Barden as Chairman, will "prob ably be dominated by the Dixie GOP coalition, as it has been in the past." Negro newspapers have voiced similar criticism of the Democrat ic committees' composition, with the three importantly placed Southerners Eastland. Thurmond d Barden as their principal grievance causes. But the main victims of this bombardment are the two Tcxans Senator Johnson and Speaker Rayburn. Echoing these objections, loo, are the liberal Democrats in the Roosevcll-Stcvenson-Truman wing, as well as such volunteer states men as the officers of Americans for Democratic Action. In fact, it is understood that Tru man could hardly be kept from writing another of those colorful midnight philippics to Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, when he learned that Thurmond, his 1948 detractor and opponent, had been so highly honored hy the Congress ional faction of the Party. when Herbert Hoover was secre tary of commerce, the sharpest difference between the administra tion and a cabinet officer was re vealed when. In answering ques tions on Capitol Hill, Mr. Hoover and his director of foreign com merce practically admitted they couldn't carry out their' functions with the small amount of money recommended. Cut Not Encouraged Considerable progress has been made to prevent officials of the executive branch from going to Congress to get more money, but tittle or nothing has been done to encourage Congress to cut a fed eral budget. Thus, Secretary Humphrey, who announced that budget seemed to him too high and that too much money was be ing spent, was regarded as saving something sensational or at least novel. Actually, ho was not deal ing with the specific items in a budget he did not himself make up but was expressing an opinion on the philosophy of high spend ing. The President indicated later that the memorandum issued at Mr. Humphrey's press conference, giving general comments on the budget problem, had been ap proved at the White House. In fact, it Is known the document was read and endorsed by the whole cabinet. It was a statement of principles which it was hoped Con- gress would take into account. It was like saying: "Here's our de tailed budget, but we hope you can liud ways lo cut it. This is really your responsibility." Alter all. many items of expen diture are included that are based on laws and policies created by Congress itself in previous years. The President can't repeal such financial obligations. Under our Constitution, the au thority to appropriate money is vested in Congress alone. Under the British and Canadian system, the executive makes the budget and sends it lo Parliament, where singleness of responsibility Nowhere in modern sovernment is there such a utorhiji example of irresponsibility as in the slip shod way the American budget is put tnyether and nulhoriied by Congress and now it Involves $72 billions a year. It is something for the nation to begin lo under stand or, as Mr. Humphrey says, one of these days there will be a passion that "will curl vour hair."

Majority of Americans Give Eisenhower Doctrine Backing By GEORGE GALLUP (Director, American Institute of Puhllc Opinion) PRINCETON, N.J. The Eisen hower Doctrine for protcc ing the Middle East from commu nism, now being debated by the Congress, has the backing o( American public opinion. On three proposals designed to keep Russia from getting control of the countries in the Middle East area, the latest Institute survey finds majority sentiment nation wide lining up in support of' all three. Specifically: By a ratio of 70 per cent to 19 per cent, the public approves giv ing economic aid to the countries in the area that are friendly lo the United States By a ratio of 5.1 per cent to 3-1 per cent, the public approves send. ing arms and war material to help build tip the armies of these countries, and, By a ratio of 50 per cent to 34 per cent, the public approves of tne u. s. promising to send our armed forces to the Middle East in the event of an attack by Rus sian troops. President Eisenhower's desire to get "blank check" authority for the use of U.S. armed forces and economic aid if necessary met re sistance this week in the Senate where the Democrats have asked for a review of Secretary of Slate John Foster Dulles' Middle East policy. In today's survey, Gallup Poll reporters rang doorbells at homes in every section of the country, in urban and rural neighborhoods ranging from wealthy to poor, and asked the following questions: "Congress is now debating what should be done to keep Russia from getting control of the coun tries of the Middle East those in the general area of the Suez Canal.

Not Furnishing Enough Oil to Countries of Europe By JAMES Associated Press WASHINGTON tfl The Eisen hower administration, on the sub ject of oil needed for Europe, is carrying water, or perhaps oil, on both shoulders. It wants American producers and oil-producing states, particu larly Texas, to make more oil available for Europe, which has run short since the Suez Canal was closed. k 1 The administration set goals which haven't been met. But it won't crack down on the compa nies or the states. Administration officials say they don't want to interfere with states' rights. So it Is torn between foreign policy and domestic policy, be-j the limits on how much oil can Iwcen international coopcration.be taken out of the ground is and states' rights. But that's only part of a badly mixed-up picture: Little From U. S. Before the canal was closed, ! Europe used about 3,200,000 bar rels of oil a day. It got that oil from European wells, from the. Middle East, from wells in the Caribbean, and A very small amount from the United States." , Before Suez it needed practical ly no oil from the United States. Most of its supply came from the Middle East, and moved through pipe lines and in tankers that made a quick run through the Suez Canal. Atter the canal was closed Eu rope stepped up the production of ils own oil and routed tanker ship ments from the Middle East around Africa. Still Grr.it Shortage But there is still such a short age, administration officials say, that this country has to fill the gap in a big way. Europe can ration gasoline, but it needs other oil products lo keep its economy going, cspecially through the next M) days or so of cold weather. Bad shortages could force industrial close-downs and i shove Europe into an economic tailspin. j The administration has sot a goal of 500.000 barrels of crude oil and fuels a d.iy from this conn- , trv. i Before Suez this country shipped about 50.000 barrels ot oil products a day.)
