I,-. .
Deccntralizalion efforts in our largest city,
New York, with its population of over 8,000,-
r 000, have failed, according to the current
(Issue of the Architectural Forum Magazine
f , nd the office building boom during the past
n. decade in the heart of the metropolis contin
lies in full blast. New office construction
totals half again as much as in the rest of
' the United States put together.
'j.' Big business slays in the city to be "close
. to everything."
. The New York increase completed and un
derway represents an addition of 40 percent
'' more office space since the end of World War
II, totaling 40 million square feet and it all
v,is in "the two most chokingly congested por
tions of Manhattan Island," the Wall Street
ij'area and midtown.
Original plans, slates the Forum, called for
dispersal and decentralization plans but were
j! "vanquished by such earthy matters as the
Rvalue of the businessmen's lunch, the secre
taries lunch hour shopping, the low deprcs
Vision birth-rate, the trafic jams and the face-to-&'face
contact with business sasociatcs and the
f jchance to bring personality to bear."
;
i; Most of the new office construction is in ,
sjialready crowded districts, which are also most
rt-readily accessible to everything. Tall sky-scrapers
are replacing older structures. But
iVthe Korum complains:
J.1 "The dominant effect Is depressing mediocrity,
i". with block after block of new building as like ono
'another, as fundamentally boorish as block upon

J felly to improve design to appeal to the eye as
. well as to pride of ownership.
, ,
BJust what "blander" means in architectural
lingo is not known to laymen but the word
sounds appropriate to the occasion and con
$' notes the "simple mindedness of modern
building" even in Salem. There are no sky-scrapers
pointing to the sky if not to heaven,
i!but a plethora ot both business blocks and
dwellings looking "as like one another and
.'.;as fundamentally boorish" as uniform sky
j scrapers. .
i The prevailing architectural trend Is a one
'jistory, flat-lopped building, whether for bust
4; noss purposes or dwelling. The favorito stylo
JSis that first .utilized by aulo service stations
jand later by motels, adopted now for com
'mercial purposos, stores, offices, clinics, etc.
The stylo in modern dwellings is also one
r'story, flat-top, glorified by front plate glass
V windows where there are only street views to
sec, some resembling palatial chicken houses
and cowsheds of pioneer days. And often
the prideful owners share the blame for the
l'. "blander" with the architocL G. P.
Crime in the Woods
i Thirty-one tree farm owners in Oregon and
Washington report these depredations by
.. hunters in 1956: damage to gates, roads, log
Ring equipment and signs, theft of power saws
and gasoline, and the destruction ot one auto-
' mobile owned by a watchman.
Charitably they arc called the "lunatic
I" frince" ot hunters.
'. Why lunatic? That means insane. If ex
,' ainined by alienists they wouldn't be sent to
V to mental hospitals. A psychiatrist, no doubt,
,.' would give them normal rating.
Why not put them in their proper category
and call them criminals? They do these
things out of utter disregard ot the rights of
others, and some of them for their own gain.
Vandals and thieves, who choose to do wrong
rather than right, are always about, even
In the deep woods.
Little progress has been made in sifting
out the guilty ones. It isn't easy to do. Hut
J there is evidence that legitimate hunters,
'. realizing that one of the privileges of sports
V men is endangered by the culprits, are in-
creasing their efforts to control them, and
' seemingly with some success. W. 1). llitgen-
stein, executive vice-president of the Indus
J trial Forestry Association, reports that tho
. depredations weren't as numerous as in the
Jji year botore. Fifty-four tree farmers reported
,! no damage.
'', The record of fires traced to hunters does
j," not show improvement. While there were
V, only nine during the lilSfl season, considered
T Rhinll in comparison with the number nf hunt
tj el's in Hie woods, it was five more than tho
;. tree farms reported the previous year.
,V i The t.'ix'i.'iying tree farmers welcome uuest
t;, h'tnicrs who nmducl themselves like spurts
n.en "'id gentlemen. Thev report that over
j J30.0I10 hunters last year bagged I:l.f:l0 big
n n "mo iinim"ls inim the tree farms of western
Oregon and Washington. The score was 10,.
1150 deer, 1-HW elk ami Will bears.
Most were legitimate hunters. The hunt
ing area was 4.4il2!l4:i acres. And there are.
laws to protect the game that they presum
ably complied with. Hut the unimliaioil

K West on Control Board
In an open forum letter to the Capital
Journal, Kx-Govcrnor Oswald West, under
v''(i.e Ilemocratie administration the State
r '3rd of Control law was originated and en
a:;cd e law, says:
'Abolishing the Slrte Board of Control and
VMlini Its powers in fie governor is a most
unwise piece of legislation,

had control of the penitentiary but gave it
up. We divided responsibility for institu
tions among the members of the board.
"Guided by experience," Mr. West contin
ues, "1 was one of its earlier promolors. It
has proven to be in the interest of good gov
ernment by freeing itself from politics and
being guided by good businessmen.
"As a Democrat 1 hope to see it defeated
for if enacted it will turn bad for the Demo
crats. I hope the Democrats don't make
damn fools of themselves by passing this bill
and I hope the Republicans in the Senate
have brains enough to defeat it.
"What would happen should we elect a
crooked or screwy governor?" asks Mr. West.
It's happened in many other states. As the
Capital Journal has remarked before this
measure is merely to make Oregon's govern
ment political spoils as it was in intervals
before the Oregon System was adopted half a

RA Y TUCKER
Committee Split on
Budget Reduction
WASHINGTON The sharpest and most
serious revolt yet against the Eisenhower
budget has broken out behind the doors of
one of the most influential political and legis
lative groups on Capitol Hill the House
Rules Committee. Besides consisting of re-
sponsible veterans of bothw'
parties, almost every piece of
legislation must receive this
body's approval before it can
even be considered on the
floor.
The bipartisan and indig
nant attack was provoked
during consideration o f
House Resolution 170, which
was dismissed as "ridicu
lous- ana aamn loonsimess bay tuckk
when it was proposed by Representative Ed
gar W. Hiestand of California, with the back
ing of 65 Republicans. It would record Con
gress as favoring maximum expenditures of
$65 million, or almost $7 billion less than Ike
has asked for 1B5B.
Under Its provisions, half of the saving
would be used to reduce the $273 billion pub
lic debt, and half would bo devoted to cut
ting taxes, Resolution 170 has no manda
tory effect, It merely expresses Congres
sional scntiincnt, i But if shoved to tho floor
by Rules, H will set the stage for an economy
debate and demonstration that should shatter
Administration complacency.
Result of Postelection Survey
Resolution 170 has an interesting back
ground. It resulted from a confidential, post
election survey conducted by a Republican
Task Force under the supervision of Repre
sentative John II. Ray of New York. It dis
closed that the voters' principal concern and.
grievance were high taxes, new spending pro
posals and the lack of a sense of thrift at
Washington.
The report, which filled three thick' vol
umes, revealed that foreign problems. Includ
ing Hie Suez Canal crisis, the Middle East
Doctrine and even the thought of an atomic
war, were secondary. The discovery shocked
the Republican leadership, including the Pol
Icy Committees of House and Senate. It led
even Joseph W. Martin, Jr., and Senator
Styles Bridges, White House friends, to speak
out for economy.
The resultant resolution was embraced by
every member of Rules, regardless of party.
Witnesses waiting to testify on its behalf were
not even heard because of. the committee's
obvious approval. Representative Hiestand
did not get a chance to read or explain the
origin given here.
Democrats Not Optimistic on Budget
The shift in sentiment is significant be
cause even the idea of a $65 billion ceiling
was greeted with skepticism when it was first
discussed in the corridors.
"Cutting the budget by even $5 billion just
Isn't going to be done," declared the realistic
Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas.
A fellow-Texan, Senate Majority Loader
Lyndon B. Johnson, reacted similarly. In a
colloquy with Senator Harry F. Byrd of Vir
ginia, who demands at least a $5 billion slash,
Johnson said that "1 am not optimistic about
the results."
Senator Johnson's Kxplanation
Johnson explained the reasons for his want
of faith. Lunching with a fellow-Senator a
few days ago, the Texan said that he had sug
gested the feasibility of a small percentage
cut--4. 5 or 6 per cent in every appropria
tion bill.
"Yes." the other replied. "I agree whole
heartedly with you, provided you except the
cost of defense. We must build a strong
national defense."
Johnson then tried the Idea on another
rolloiguo, who was a member of the Appro
priations Committee. Ho answered:
"1 will be happy to do so. 1 want to see
the budget reduced, provided that you except
the public works bill.7
A Smile or Tiro:
On account of a state line re-survey, a
farmer who lor years had "lived in North Da
kota'' suddenly discovered that his dwelling
actually was in South Dakota. Some nf his
friends thought he'd take the change pretty
hard, because he'd always been proud of
North Dakota, but the farmer accepted it
philosophically.
"Oh, well," he remarked, "the older I get
the less 1 like those North Dakota winters

Ike Budget
Still Being
Poured Over
WASHINGTON 11 - No budget
in recent years has caused as
much confusion as the one Presi
dent Eisenhower handed Congress
57 days ago. He asked for almost
r 72 billion dol
lars, a record
for peacetime.
What follows
is a quick run
down on the con-
fusion that
spread after Ei
senhower sent
his budget to
Congress Jan.
16.
Secretary o f
james MARLOWthc Treasury
Humphrey at a Jan. 16 news con
ference indicated this was the
tighest budget the administration
could offer. He said:
don't think there is anything
in sight at the moment that can
be done better than is now pro
posed in this budget but I think
we ought to improve it as time
goes on.
Almost immediately he made a
second statement which seemed,
and still seems, contradictory: "I
think there are a lot of places in
this budget that can be cut."
This immediately raised two
questions:
1. If this was such a tight
budget, as he said, how could it
be cut?
2. But, if he thinks it can be
cut, why didn't the administration
do il?
Several times since Jan. 16
Humphrey has said cuts could be
made but never although asked
by newsmen and Congress has
he said where.
It's extraordinary for a Cabinet
officer to say a President's budget
can be cut the moment it reaches
Congress, and Eisenhower was
asked about it at His news con
ference Jan. 23.
He said there was no differ
ence of opinion between him and
Humphrey but he added that, if
members of Congress can make
cuts, "it is their duty to do so."
This added nothing to anyone's
understanding, since everybody
knows Congress has the duty to
cut the budget, if it can. It was
about as informative as saying a
policeman can arrest people.
Either because of (he size of
the budget or because Humphrey
stimulated them into hoping cuts
can be made, businessmen and
others have been flooding. Con
gress with demands for reduc
tions. Eisenhower is aware of
this.
The demands arc coming from
Congress too, and particularly
from Eisenhower s own Hopubli
cans. At his March 7 news con
ference, Eisenhower showed signs
of backing away, suggesting some
of the programs he asked money
for might be slowed down.
Meanwhile, Pcrcival Brundagc,
lite budget director and therefore
the one man who should know
more than anyone else about
what went into tho budget, made
a statement.
He said he sees little hope for
substantial cuts in spending for
at least two years.
Tilings got so whacky that the
Democrats in the House no
doubt for political reasons
pulled a switch by asking Eisen
hower to tell them where cuts
could be made, thus trying to
shift responsibility from Congress
back to the administration.
At his news conference yester
day Eisenhower said he hod nev
er asked Congress to cut the
budget. Hut he repealed: If Con
gress could cut, it should cut.

WASHINGTON.-Fully a week
has gone by since the Senate
passed the Eisenhower Doctrine
and the vote reaveled a serious
cleavage inside the Democratic
party. But this correspondent has
noted a curious silence in the
press dispatches on the fact that
such a split has occurred.
If the Republican Party had
divided in the same wav and a
substant-
ial number o f
It e p u b 1 i -can
.votes had
been casl-it
against the ros-M.jl
oiuuon, me air
would have been
filled for sev
eral days with
outcries about
the "failure" of
the Eisenhower
leadership and o. lawrenck
about the new strength of the so
called "isolationist" or "right
wing" bloc in Congress.
But it so happens that '43 Re
publicans supported the Eisen
hower Doctrine Resolution in the
Senate and only 4 were against it.
This is remarkable unanimity and
a tribute to the Eisenhower lead
ership. Democrats Elfecl Split
II so happens, on the other hand,
that, although the Democrats con
trol the Senate, onlv 31 Demo
cratic Senators voted for the res
olution and 18 were recorded as
against it.
Does this mean that the Demo
crats now have an "isolationist"
wing in the Senate and that the
Republicans have abandoned their
"isolationism"? K so. American
prestige abroad which we have
been told "has sunk low" during
(he Republican era because of a
fear of Republican isolationism
must be bouncing back upward.
Or is (here a nervousness now in
Britain and France and grave
concern over the "isolationist"
wave in the Democratic Party
which might bode ill for the whole
foreign-aid program in Congress
this year?
Again and again during the last
campaign, (he country was told
by Democratic Party spokesmen
that tho Republican administra
tion should not be returned to
power because it could not com
mand a united party. Again and
again Adlai Stevenson hammered
away at that theme, and many of
the so-called "liberals" look it up
in their writings.

fect that President Eisenhower
wouldn't be able to control his

HAL BOYLE
Mayflower II Being Readied
For Ocean Crossing to U.S.
BRIXHAM,. England Wi-Stuart
A. Upham, a weatheroeaien man
who believes in wood and canvas,
is the builder of
Mayflower II.
She is a lady,
Upham insists,
a strong little
ship which will
duplicate this ,
spring the voy
age across the
Atlantic -made
by the Pilgrim
fathers in 1620.
Mayflower II
is in her essen- hal bovll
lials looks, size and straining
ropes a replica of the sailing
ship in which the Pilgrims ven
tured to the new world. Tho new
vessel is a eift of the British peo
ple to the people of the United
States.
UDham and about 35 craftsmen
have been working for about a
year and a half. Upham sizes up
the ship taking final form and
says with affection gleaming in
his eyes:
A Beautiful Tiling
"A proper wooden ship is the
most beautiful thing man ever
created."
And what's the beginning of a
good wooden ship?
The acorn, ot course, saia
UDham. "It's honest oak that we
need to withstand the corrosion
of salt water, and the battering
of the sea."
Upham prowls the Devon and
Cornwall countryside, looking for
likely trees. They ought to be
about 21)0 years old, and they do
not have to be straight and state
ly. A sturdy, gnarled and twisted
oak gladdens his heart, because
wooden ship needs bits and
pieces of strange shapes,
Gets Good Treatment
We can bend wood In the steam
bath," said Upham. "But then the
tiny fibers which constitute the
wood are twisted out of their na
tural shape a little, and we lose
something in strength and dura
bility. But if that twist grows
naturally the wood comes into my
ship in just the form it wants to
be. and there s nothing like tim
ber to appreciate good treatment."
Mayflower II is a ship of fi'.ie
appearance, but not built with
beauty a first consideration. It is
a faithful replica, and the first
Mayflower was a practical mer
chantman, a 180-ton freighter full
of creaks which hauled wine from
the Mediterranean ports before the
Pilgrims chartered her.
Stands Up to Storms
"Mayflower II is not grand as
a schooner, or sleek as a yacht,
but a very presentable craft,"
said Upham. "She's a bark, that's
what she is. We put every em
phasis we could into making this
a rugged ship, and she will stand
up to storms.
"Mayflower II is a live ship,
daintily balanced and full of spir
it. When we launched her last
September, she slid down into the
water eagerly, and then danced
on the waves as if she were a
ping pong ball. Then we pulled
her back into the dry dock. It's
her boudoir, where we are dress,
ing her to go calling overseas.
"But she's been a headache.
We've never built a 17th Century
ship. We had excellent designs
from Mrs. William A. Baker, the
American naval architect, but we
had to feel our way along, redis.
covering many of the old tech
niques." Will Sail With Ship
UDham. who is 49, will sail to
America with his ship. In his
youth he sailed some of his com
pany's fishing vessels out of Brix.
ham Harbor.
'So I know a few tricks on a
sailing ship," he said. "There is
this business of fresh water, for
instance. We'll sail with what we
need, and there will be no dis
tilling. But I have learned that
the way to conserve water is to
provide only a very small hand
pump on the tanks. So our new
Pilgrims will have to work hard
to get a cup of water, and won't
be wasting any."

THE MAJORITY OF OUR PATRONS WHO CONTACTED US DURING THE
PAST TWO MONTHS INDICATED A WILLINGNESS TO PAY AN INCREASED

TINUED TO OPERATE, CURTAILED S'.RVICE.
WE SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE INCREASED FARES, SHOWN ABOVE,
WILL NOT RESULT IN A FURTHER LOSS OF PATRONAGE. TO GIVE A FAIR
TEST TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF THE NEW FARE STRUCTURE, WE ARE
NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES IN SCHEDULES AT THIS TIME. MAY WE
CONTINUE TO ENJOY YOUR PATRONAGE.
