The bill was introduced January 27, by Represen tatives Eyeman, Skelton and Stadler of Lane county, and Senators Gleason and Lewis of Multnomah, all Democrats. The resolution, as amended, reads as follows: Passage by the House of Senate Bill 30 by a vote of 38 to 19, a measure which au thorizes the State Fair Board to negotiate with the City of Salem for extension of an arterial street through the grove portion of the fairgrounds, is a victory for the city. The House amended the bill, making neces sary Board of Control consent before an ex change of property between the city and the Fair Board is made. Without doubt the Sen ate will concur, and the bill is not damaged by the amendment. No reason appears why Governor Holmes ..U....I.J t U:tt 1I,t-M- r- nl. mencing on the second Monday in January of each T c a 1 'i Z fu ' , "7Pu u year, unless a different day Is appointed by law ert Steward, who has the appointment by the .

Thp rpfflilnr nftcsinnc nt Iha T antl..ii..A Assembly shall be held annually at the capital of the slate for a period not to exceed 65 days, corn- election held throughout the slate. These legislators are all elected on econ omy pledges, which calls for speed in action , as well, to save tapayers money. It took 100 days for action on this bill by the House and it is estimated it will take three or four weeks more to finish the session, the most complacent, leisurely as well as costly, and the longest in Oregon history. The legisla tors seem more interested in playing petty politics than in legislation, most of it un necessary. , For many years members of the legislature were paid only $3 a day for a session limited to 40 days as provided in the original stale constitution. ' There was no difficulty in obtaining legis lative candidates and many of the state's ablest men served for the honor it then im plied. Session work, until salaries were hiked, was speeded up by night and Saturday sessions. Now the pay of legislators is $600 per annum, plus mileage and more pay want ed. "The 1951 session cost $585,385.77 for 118 days. The 1953 session cost $833,117.71 for 100 days. The IDj.scssion cost $7-18,218.558 for 115 days. There has been appropriated the sum of $BOO,000 for the expenses of the 1957 legis lature and it is possible that an additional appropriation will be required. It has been the custom of each legislature to set up $25,. 000 for the next legislature to got started on. This sum is included in the $800,000 appro priation. G. P. weight for a Salem bill, Anyway, it isn't a political matter. No party lines were drawn in the Senate, or in the House where it had harder going. It is in the interest both of the cite' and the State Fair administration, which will acquire more valuable property in exchange for right of way through the fairgrounds that will cause removal of only one tree. RAY TUCKER Shoivdoivn in Mid-East In the hope of averting a major conflict in the Mid-East which might precipitate a third world war, the United States is staging a show of military and diplomatic force in Jor dan, just as it successfully did a few years ago over Formosa when threatened by Red China. The powerful U. S. fleet In the Mediter ranean is under secret orders moving East towards Jordan, urgent diplomatic warnings have been sent to Arab countries and Israel not to capitalize on Jordan's internal stress to carve up the crisis-ridden nation In the maneuvers of Communists, of Syria, Egypt and other Mid-East nations. The 6th fleet is one of the most powerful afloat, equipped with ultra-modern weapons and atomic arms, but its sending is for Iran qitilizing purposes, as "a calming Influence" and to evacuate United States citizens If nec essary. Congress leaders have been notified to stand-by, and will be notified if the Jordan situation worsens. They were told at a con ference by Secretary of State Dulles that there Is "no alarm as of now," that large scale fighting will break out In the Mid-East. Congress is due to return from Its Easter recess Monday. Adin. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, left on a three-week fly ing tour of Latin America Thursday nig lit saying as he departed, "Normally I would not leave if things were very, very serious." But Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), Is the acting Senate Democratic leader, said, that events are "building up to a showdown in Jordan" and "it is quite possible that this country will become involved if events are not brought under control. . . . All the ingre dients of a major war are incorporated into the Middle East area." (J. p. i Change at City Hall i The change in a Salem public office where , by Charles A. Barclay is leaving the pnst f . assistant city administrator and being sue I cccdod by Don llilchman. who comes from ' Pcndlclon, Is one of importance. S The duties of the office are many and much of the city's public relations centers ; about the assistant's desk and his occasional public appearances lo represent manager or mayor. Barclay, who resigned because he felt personal business affairs needed his full attention, has handled the multiple details of the office with complete approval of his superior, and City Manager Kent Malhewson has often expressed regret at losing him. Don Hitchman comes to the office well qualified by education and by experience, especially in- municipal affairs, and the city manager, who chose him after sifting many names, no doubt made a good selection. The responsibilities of the office are some what lessened, but not much, by recent re moval of mosauito control to the health de partment and airport management to the city enatneffFrtig office.

Although not generally advertised by their iponsora for fear of a popular uprising, there Is a strong demand on and off Capitol Hill for these spectacular and far-reaching changes in these home and outdoor sporls. in Celler's opinion, however, (he proposed revisions would anger and harass millions of baseball and TV fans. Tolls on TV Programs George C. McConnaughey, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has in dicated that he favors a lest of subscription IV, which would mean that listeners would have to drop paymenls for each program in a slot attached to the set. But he seems afraid to try it out without Congressional authorizatoio or what he calls "guidance." He apparently shrinks from even a trial of such a startling innovation. The Senate Interstate and Commerce Com mittee, which Is headed by Warren G. Mag nuson of Washington, recently considered a staff report on the subject. Although not yet made public, it recommended that Con gress authorize FCC to conduct tests. Fear to Take Initiative A committee majority refused to act on or approve the report. The situation is that neither Congress nor the FCC dares to as sume the initiative or accept (he responsi bility for even a limited experiment. They are certain that millions of TV viewers, espe cially housewives and youngsters addicted to daytime programs, would turn the house and Congress upside down. In view of these simmering threats to now free TV, chairman Celler has introduced a bill expressly forbidding the FCC or Con gress to charge ' customers for nroerams. whether they be Ding Dong School for kin deigarlncrs, fashion shows for Mom or cham pionship prizefights for Pop. Mystery on Baseball's Immunity Giving baseball an antitrust status has gained some support from the Supreme Court's finding that pro-football is a monop oly. Since the Iatler's contracts ate far more flexible than baseball's, and more fair to the Individual performer, many members cannot understand why organized baseball, especially the allegedly monopolistic major leagues, should enjoy immunity. In fact, the high tribunal Indicated (hut, if It were to consider baseball's status in the light of present conditions, it might hold that it is clothed with sufficient public, economic and interstate interest for it lo be brought under stricter Federal regulation. The Congressional trend and mood, how ever, have turned sharply against Federal controls and interference with private busi ness. And the honorable gentlemen on Capi tol Hill, who always adjourn for the opening game at Washington, and who may yet in stall TV sets at Congressional vantage points, figure that baseball and television are "every American's business." WASHINGTON lfl - King Hus sein of Jordan, a young man in in a hurry to keep lrom being thrown out his head, has some dizzy' prob lems. That ex plains why some Vf of the things he tf? says look dizzzy. 5 He needs West- .t-fc . ... ..... I. em ncip, out ne can't afford to look too pro Western, at least right now. He's James MARuiwan Arab nation alist, all for a strong Arab world, but he has to watch out lest some ol his supposed Arab friends cut his throat. - Above all else he rules a land where foreign Arabs far outnum ber his own native Arabs. Jordan has about VA million people. Abo,ut 900,000 are Pales tinian Arabs who became Jordan lans in 1948 during the Arab- Israeli war when Hussein's grand father King Abdullah grabbed part of Palestine or because they fled to Jordan from Israel. Backbone of Army The remaining Jordanians the natives are mostly Bedouins, mainly shecphcrders, less edu cated and sophisticated than the Palestinians. But the Bedouins are the backbone of Hussein's army. n s on tnis army he must de pend to keep his throne. At the same time, in order to avoid civil war and perhaps his own ruina tion, he must try to pacify the Palestinians in Jordan. What Hussein and his Bedouins share with the Palestinians is a hatred of Israel and a desire for a strong Arab world. It's because of their hatred for Israel that so many Arabs are anti-Western since the Western powers created Israel. Anti-West Feeling Varies But this feeling of anti-Western- ism varies among Arabs. It's strong among the Palestinians. That is why many of them, even the non-Communist, want links with Russia. They need help, They don't want it from the West. iney can get it lrom Kussin, or (hey think they can. for many of the Palestinians Egyptian President Nasser who has made himself a symbol of anti-Westernism and has led the way in turning to Russia is more of a rallying point, a more spirited kind ol leader who prom ises action, man their newly ac quired King, Hussein, who until recently acted like Nasser's yes man. - 1 'agk i ..f.-AItji:?'-VK'-SurV,'r '' miSxfiM-'''' ' I v fkA-fl Jordan Can't Support Self But Jordan can't support itself. It needs outside money. Paricu- larly, Hussein needs money lo pay ins army. Nasser promised Hus sein money but double-crossed him by giving him nothing. There was no place else lo get it except from tne united- Stales. And Hussein knew that the clos er Jordan moved toward Russia, and Communist domination of his government, the ;shorter his life would be. He had no choice except to turn to tne united Slates. Meanwhile, and for months leftists and pro-Nasserites had been infiltrating the army, the government and the schools. So when Hussein's Prime Min ister Suleiman Nabulsi a pro Nnsserite all for closer ties with Hussia spurned American help. the King threw him out. That started the crisis. But as a sop to the Palestinians who outnumbered his Bedouins. Hussein in his new Cabinet made Nabulsi' foreign minister. At the same time he appointed Hussein Khalidi, a man Inclined toward the West, as prime minister. This Cab inet fell under pressure from Jor dan's political parties, particular ly the Palestinians. King Warned Nasser The King, knowing the West was watching and Hint lie might have to call on it for military help to save himself, warned Nasser with out mentioning his name to keep out of his affairs. No doubt he made the rebuke mild to keep from angering the pro-Nasser Palestinians too much. At the same lime he blamed his troubles on "international commu nism" whose Middle pastern headquarters, he said, was Israel. He must have tried to try a lot of fish with (hat twist. It could make anti-Communist Palestinians suspicious of pro Russian Palestinians but it sought to show all anti-Israel Paletin- DAVID LAWRENCE Intensified Cold War in Middle East Calls For More Energetic Activity on Our Part WASHINGTON The struggle inside Jordan vividly illustrates the dilemma in the Middle East that confronts the United Slates and the other Western powers.

The plain effort of the Soviet conspiracy is to overthrow the existing regime in Jordan and line it up with Nasser of Egypt and the pro-Communist clique that has tak en possession of Syria, Shall the United States look on indifferently? Leaflets condemning the western nations, including the unueo states, are being distributed in tne streets by the Communists Student grotiDs which h infiltrated by Communist asonis are oeing incited to make riotous demonstrations.

But the danger is that the bud- get may have to be increased if armeo contlict breaks out. Then the outpourings of dollars mav be many times more than any pittance now spent in counteracting Com munist activity in the Middle East. Moscow Busy, Energetic The Moscow propagandists are busy and energetic. They think the Eisenhower Doctrine is too tempt ing for the Arab countries and that since Lebanon, Iraq. Iran and Saudi Arabia are friendly toward the doctrine, the other countries may likewise come within its help ful orbit and lies to the West will be strengthened. And so the battle on the propa ganda front goes. Big stakes are involved. Out of little wars grow big wars. The peace of the Middle East is at best hard to manage. Referring to that area, Secretary of State Dulles in his speech in ians that he was still anti-Israel j New York this week said: "Wher- nimseii. inc statements out or Jordan have been' full of double talk but that's no wonder.

A young American bus inessman who was in Southeast Asia at the time of one of these jazz-band visits writes to this cor respondent: "The Benny Goodman tour proved that jazz is the Folk music of America. It has a way ot cutting through the boundaries of language and culture that nothing else pos sesses. Additionally, it enables Americans to get through to the average citizen of each country more quickly than any diplomatic procedure. , For example, in Rangoon I h e university is a problem for the United States. The students are prme target for all propaganda Mr (toy t tt Wre rulers of Burma. The Goodman band played two concerts indoors and held an outdoor seminar and jam session under the trees. Students flocked to hear the band. And the entire student attitude in Rangoon be came more friendly toward the United States as a result.

This was a tremendous asset to our people there and they cap italized on the situation. My point that we must fight our com petition in these countries by all possible strategies, and the United States information agency enables us to cash in on our opportun ities." These are new problems, strange problems to the average American, who, feeling secure in a world of his own with all the comforts of a peaceful climate, little realizes that the "Cold War is going on every hour of the day in the smaller countries of Asia and Africa where the United States at the moment is determined that in ternational Communism shall not get a firm foothold and this costs money. HAL BOYLE Man With White Collar Has Replaced Man With a Hoe iffr ' HAL BOYLE NEW YORK in The man with the hoe has given away to the man with the white collar. AH great civil- izations have sprung from a sturdy peasant class. Unnoticed b y anvnne. the? United States one day last year s i 1 e n t ly reached one of those turning points from which 'there is no going back. it became a land of indoor peas ants, probably the first major power in history in which the white collar worker makes up the largest element in its labor force. What are the implications be hind this startling fact? What does it mean for the future? Supply Stilt Short In pointing out that white collar workers are now the most numer ous type of wage earner in Ameri ca, a U. S. Department of Labor expert warned that some are in still short supply. rue shortage of skilled, tech nical and professional manpower is now general throughout the na tion," Brunswick A. Bagdon told conference at Louisville, "and will get worse . . unless we move swiftly to improve our training and employment policies and strengthen our educational system." .This is only one aspect of the quiet revolution over the last half century during which the machine age has gone to the farm and the hired hand has gone to the cily. Won't Stay on Farm The old question of "how you gonna keep cm down on the farm?" has received a final an swer. You ain't gonna. In 1910 America's farm population to taled 13.550.000. In 1955 it was down to 6,341,000. ' 'The farm family and the familv farm seem to be slowly going the way of the horse if not the dodo as agriculture becomes more and more a big business, and the small operator becomes less and less important. But what interests many of us most in the rise of tne wnue coi lar class are the human aspects of the new situation it creates. It means, for example: The typical American no longer works outdoors. He works indoors.

Instead of a weathered look of distance in his eyes he will peer at the world through a pair of glasses. Instead of learning the ways of1 nature first hand he will read about them in books written by a career naturalist. His music will no longer be the singing bird on the bough; more and more his music will come canned like his meals. Instead of driving an ax into tha heart of a tree on a wintry fjaf, he will snugly press a pushbutton and wait for something to hap pen.

WILLIAM BRADY Nutritional Deficiency Still Cause of Disability in Joints "Then," states a medical pro fessor in a newspaper article, "there is degenerative joint dis ease (osteoarth r i t i s) which comes from general , wear and tear if we live long enough." The medical authorities who tell us these yr- uungs are over impressed by their own pom-. posity. They do bat not say "I believe wear and tear or cold and damp causes chronic joint disability." They state it dic tatorial and somehow it becomes a principal of practice. Takes Nerve to Doubt It takes some nerve to doubt any such established medical prin ciple, in practice, I mean. It's dif ferent in print. You can doubt an established medical principle in print and incur no greater punish ment than being put out of print. I have incurred such punishment in numerous places, but I have Goats and Boars Albany Demo-Herald Two Arabs are walking their camels across an unbroken des ert. One Arab says to the other 'Who in hell uses oil, anyway?" It's a remote cartoon in that re motest of magazines, the New Yorker, but we started thinking. Does an Arab use oil? No. he uses camels. Docs a Jordanian use oil? No he uses mules and, more often, shanks' marej. Jor dan is poor, and camels cost a couple of bucks. And how about Kuwait? That's the country about the size of western Linn county. It has been described as 5.000 feet of sand on top of 20.000 feet of oil. because it Is the richest oil depository in the world. Do Ku waitans use oil? Nope. They use jackasses, goats and boats.

I can't complain as long as I remain in print in so many really fine newspapers So bemused are the poor souls with "arthritis" that they go from Bad to worse for years, never rea lizing that "arthritis" is - not a diagnosis but a tag. It indicates that the customer complains of joint disability and is ready to try any remedy or treatment, without bothering to find out what the trouble is. Degeneration of Joints Any student or physician who studies the question wittf an open mind will almost certainly con clude, as I do, that, in the great majority of cases, chronic joint disability is degeneration of joint tissues, not inflammation. Degeneration, degeneration, why do 1 keep harping on such an un- pleasant subject? I harp on it because I believe every victim of chronic joint dis ability, who will hoar and heed my harping, will be benefited more or less. Some will improve as did Mrs. C. W.
