secretary of agriculture. It asked
for a writ of mandamus to com
pel the two officers to place jur
isdiction of the 472 000 acres of
controverted O&C lands under
the exclusive direction of the in
terior secretary.
The action is the result of an
interdepartmental agr e e m e n t
that proceeds from the contro
verted lands should be withheld
from distribution to the 18 Ore
gon land grant counties while
the question of the Jurisdiction
of the controverted lands was
settled.
Decided in 1925
The disputed question in the
suit is not in controversy at all
the complaint alleged, because
the Federal Court decided in
1925 that the controverted lands
actually were O&C lands.
The revenue from O&C sales
is divided between the counties
and the Department of Interior,
with the counties getting 75 per
cent and the Department of
Interior 25 per cent.
The 18 Oregon land grant
counties are Clackamas, Benton
Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas,
Jackson, Josephine, Klamath,
Lane. Lincoln, Linn, Marion,
Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook,
Yamhill and Washington.

House To Debate
Bill To Increase
Highway Spending
Washington (U.R) The
House called up for debate Tues
day a bill to boost federal spend
ing on highways instead of cut
ting it as President Truman re
quested. The $1,292,000,000 bill had
strong blpartislan support. Rep.
George A. Dondero, Mich., sen
ior Republican member of the
House Public Works Commit
tee, said he would be "surprised
If there is such opposition."
Aid for States
Among other things, the bill
would authorize federal aid of
$550,000,000 to states for con
struction of highways, rural
roads, and city streets for the
two-year period starting July 1.
1953. The funds would be match
ed by the states.
Only $500,000,000 a year is
currently authorized. Mr. Tru
man had recommended that fu
ture authorization be cut to
$400,000,000 a year.
Cost Increase Cited
The house Public Works com
mittee called for more federal
aid because, it said, (1) construc
tion costs have Increased, (2) 52,
000,000 motor vehicles were on
the roads last year, and (3) high
ways are deteriorating faster
than the rate of new construc
tion. State groups have pressur
ed Congress for more federal
funds.

McCarthy Requests
Demo Aspirants
To State Views
Washington (U.R) Sen. Jo
seph R. McCarthy has challenged
four Democratic presidential pos
sibilities to state their views on
alleged accused Communists or
loyalty-security risks who have
been ousted or have resigned
from the government.
The Wisconsin Republican told
the Senate that these four Demo
crats assailed "my campaign
against Communism" in recent
speeches before Americans for
Democratic Action.
Four Identified
He Identified them as Sens,
Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn
Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn and
Brien McMahon, D-Conn., and
Mutual Security Director W, Av
erell Harrlman.
McCarthy said that of the 81
cases he once gave to a Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee
investigating his Communists-in
government charges, 11 of the
persons involved have been oust
ed or have resigned from the
government.
Questions Listed
In view of their speeches, he
challenged the four Democrats
to answer two questions:
1. "Does their opposition to my
exposure of Communists, fellow
travelers and dupes constitute a
solemn campaign promise to the
American people that they would
reinstate the 11 if they are
elected?" or
2. "Does it mean that though
they condemn McCarthy's meth
ods they agree that the 11 should
be left out of the government?
