Vs 69th Year, No. 89 Salem, Oregon, Mondky, April IS, 1957 seS.ao-J AB 15-15Tie Nips Drop Of Board GOP Soloiis Head , Off Abolition of Commission By PAUL W. HARVEY,' Jr. Associated Press Writer . . Senate Republicans blocked Monday organized labor's move to abolish the Unemployment Compen sation Commission and re place it wijh a single employment security commissioner. The 15-15 party line vote is an indication that the Senate might not go along with Democratic Gov. Holmes' proposals to elimi nate numerous boards and com missions. Bitl Recommltteed Alter the bill was defeated, it was revived and sent back to the Labor and Industries Committee with instructions to bring out a proposal under which the Indus trial Accident and Unemployment Compensation commissions each would be governed by separate three-man commissions. Now,, the same three men con stitute both commissions. The first move in the hours-long debate was a motion to re-refer the bill to committee with -instructions to have the separate com missions. It was made by Sen. Lee Ohmart (Rt, Salem. This motion failed, 15-15. with the Democrats refusing to go along. Demos Go Along However, after the bill was defeated, the Democrats decided to go along with the re-referral move, since that was the best they could get out of the bill. . Sen. Dan Dimick (D), Rose burg, opened the debate with the argument that there is too much work for the same three men to run both commissions. ' He said that a single commis sioner couldn't become arbitrary to the courts. Ohmart, declaring that the work of tbe two agencies should be placed under separate beads, objected that a single administra tor would be both judge and jury. Says Work Outstanding He said the present commission's work has been' outstanding, and, also ODjectea mat tne name em ployment Security Commissioner" has a connotation that the- pur pose would be tor weuare. Sen. Walter J. Pearson (D) Portland, said that a separate three-man commission would be very costly. The trend is toward abolishing many commissions, he said. Then Sen. Ben Musa' (D),- The Dalles, said that, in effect, the Unemployment Commission had one-man rule under T. Morris Dunne, commission chairman for many years, who was replaced April 1 by Gov. Holmes. Fire Consumes Home in Dallas DALLAS (Special) "All that was saved was the deep freeze on the back porch," Dallas Fire Chief Walter Young reported- following the Sunday morning fire at the Don T. Cooper residence at Bridgeport. Fire broke out in the two-story frame structure at 10:30 a.m., about an hour after the Coopers with their two small sons left for Springfield. Firemen from Dallas and Falls City responded but were unable to do anything to control the blaze. ' Cooper is employed by the Wil liamette Valley Lumber Co. in Dallas and the family is staying with his sister, Mrs. Walter Bow den in Dallas.

Matovich, accused of setting the fire in Gault Hall on the campus, ,was convicted of second degree murder Friday night, j "This court is without right in ;a proceeding of this character to 'commit the defendant for psychi iatric treatment even if convinced I that such treatment is necessary," the judge said.

His attorneys during tbe trial last week claimed the youth was in sane at the time of the fire- and is still insane.

(AP Wircphoto) King Wins Rule Test In Jordan Pr6-West Premier i Takes Over in War Crisis By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent Pro - Western Hussein Khalidi succeeded in fornix ing a new government in Jordan today. It included ousted leftist former Premier SuleimBn Nabuisi. The ouster of Nabuisi by young King Hussein last Wednesday set off a domestic crisis in. Jordan that threatened to erupt into a new Mideast ' war. But Khalidi's success in estab lishing a -new government ap peared to be the result of a com promise between the pro-Western policies of King Hussein and the pro-Soviet ana pro-i-gyptian poli cies ot fMaoulsi. Apparently it eased the domest ic crisis in Jordan, although the ultimate outcome of that struggle for power still was not clear. Warning To Israel Shortly before this development, there were these other events in the Mideast: Hussein ordered the withdraw-i al of Syrian troops from Jordan they entered that country to bolsi-j er its defense at the time of the I Israeli invasion of Egypt. - I A Damascus radio report saidi Jordan warned Israel that ."anv act of provocation or aggression" would be met by force; Israel long has coveted tne Duige ot Jordan i territory, west of Jordan River and north of Jerusalem suited in the 1348 war, and it was feared any Syrian militarv aft inn aoatncl title ' sein's regime might prompt Israel to move. , The Jerusalem, Israel, radio: reported' that the Iraqi govern-; ment had warned Syria it would lake "strict military measures" if Syria intervened in Jordan; King Hussein and Iraq's i King 'Feisal are cousins and allied as members of the Hasiiemite dynasty with a natural fear of aggression from pro-Soviet Syria. . . , Understands Problems In forming the new Jordian government, Khalidi was faced with the task of reconciling the diverting interests of East and West for the best deal for his own country. A Palestinian, he is a former foreign minister well acquainted with the devious workings of Mid dle East diplomacy. He comes from the same general area as does Nabuisi and Maj. Gen. AH Aba Nuwar, the former army chief of staff, who was booted out by Hussein in solidifying his position Sunday. But be also is regarded as somewhat closer to the King and more moderate in his views. Khalidi formed a Cabinet in his second attempt of the present crisis. lie was the first person Hussein asked to try last week after he demanded and received Nabalsi's resignation. The whole picture, however, still was clouded in uncertainty. Jordan is held in a tight grip of censor ship. Even Nabulsi's whereabouts were hot definitely known. Some reports said Be was still in house arrest in Amman, others said he j had gone to Damascus Army Chief ' .3', Gales Up to 73 MPH Belt NW. Peril.
