Charles A. Sprague editor of
the Oregon Statesman, Salem,
wrote copy for his nationally
quoted daily column last week
from Hawaii where he and Mrs.
Sprague are sojourning. Reading
this column it seems they have
located a working model of a
basic enigma that is slowing the
pace of Christian progress to
ward unanmity, the master key
to universal peace.
Let's have it from the former
governor of Oregon who served
several sessions in the United
Nations assembly.
"We arrived at Kona, once the
home of Hawaiian royalty, in the
late afternoon. At the vesper
hour came the sounds of chimes
from the church, playing famil

PRIMARY CANDIDATES
No new names of political po
tency showed on the primary
candidates state ticket black
board this week. Unless the Fri
day, 5 p. m., deadline nets other
bie name candidates the win
ners of top positions at the May
18 primary election will be lound
in the following list:
For U. S. Senator Dom., Wayne
L. Morse, Eugene (incumbent);
Republicans Lamar Tooze, Fort-
land; Elmer Deetz, Canby and
Phillip Hitchcock, Portland.
For Governor Rep., Elmo
Smith, John Day (incumbent);
Earl Dickson, Albany and Walter
Norblad, Stayton. Dom. Robert
D. Holmes, Gearhart.

LEGISLATIVE TRENDS
One of the radical changes of
1957 legislature will make will
be to pass a sales tax. This is a
prediction of Governor Elmo dent. McKay talks of leaving
i Smith who has a record of J Washington and his job as Soc-
maKing low wrong political prog
nostications. The 1053 session established
I ?n all time record for boosting
, income and other taxes. The
voting record of members of that
body will be fine-combed before
November.
j We have seen a good many
'early starts" for legislative ses
sions but never any as early as
the prosent. Plans of the legis
lative council committee call for
I drafting all routine appropria
tion bills, ready for introduction
! before the convening of the 1957
' legislature.
i
i Candidates nominated by their
, parties at the May 18 primary;
election will have no assurance
that they will not have other op
ponents than those nominated
Other candidates can be placed
on the November ballot by the
convention plan. It has seldom
been resorted to, however. In
1934 Perot Zimmerman was nomi
nated for governor by a conven
tion held in the old Capitol. He
got 8596 more votes than the Re
publican candidate but the GOP
strategist saw to it that there
were hree other independent can
didates running, who split Zim
merman's vote down to where
Gen. Martin, Democrat, beat out
Zimmerman by 5 per cent of the
total vote.
Peter W. Welch will have his
name on the Republican ticket
in two places, for congress from
the 3rd Dist., and for the Na
tional Republican convention.
Welch said he would nominate
Douglas McKay for vice presi-
retary of the Interior when his
four-year term expires Jan. 20.

Lebe's the why of ft:
There's so much excitement at the wheel of a '58 Buick,
we had to do something to accommodate all the folks
who want to get in on it.
So we set up a little Club to handle matters-and it's
for fun and for free.
All you do to join is drive a new Buick that makes you
a member. And all you do to drive this beauty is ask.
From that point on it's pure thrill all the way.
Because then you'll feel the sheer bliss of cradled travel
in the best riding Buick yet built -and of a wonderful
handling ease in the car with the truest sense of direc
tion yet . . .
Because then you'll tingle with the flash-fast power
response that's yours from Buick's big 322-cubic-inch
V8 engine-where horsepowers and compression ratios
hit lofty new peaks, and road command hits a soaring
new level ...
Because then-and only then-will you feel the absolute
smoothness and the electrifying action of today's new
Variable Pitch Dynaflow-where the first inch of pedal
travel does new wonders for getaway and cruising and
gas mileage-and where flooring the pedal switches the
pitch for the most spectacular safety-suige in America
today.
So if you want some fun and fast action if you
want to see what it's like to call signals on the most
performance-packed automobile in all Buick history
come join our Thrill-A-Minute Club.
As we said, there's nothing else to do for membership
except drive a new Buick. And, as well gladly show
you, there's nothing to match this beauty as a bedrock
buy -for we're making the best deals ever on the best
Buick yet.
Drop in on us today or tomorrow -press that pedal
and let the thrills fall where they will.
New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow it the only Dynafluw
Bukk buihU todtiy. It is standard on Roadrrmter, Super and
Century-optional at modest extra cost on the Special.
