ilk (Grading ISeDD Survives Excuse by Single Vote
Salem (U.R) A milk trrad
ing bill, which passed the House
yesterday after two days of de
bate, was up for first reading in
the Senate today.
The bill yesterday survived by
a one-vote margin a move by
Rep. Kay Meriwether (D - Port
land) to have it sent back to com
mittee. A call of the House
rounded up all but three absent
members to vote on the motion
which Mrs. Meriwether said
was aimed at clarifying a con
stitutional question posed by
Rep. Jean Lewis, another Port
land Democrat.
The bill would raise the stand
ards for grade B milk and en
countered the objections of mem
bers who said it would force
small operators out of business
or seriously curtail their activi
ties. Final House vote on the
bill was 34 to 23.
New bills, introduced in the
House yesterday included a reso
lution by Rep. Lewis to set up
an interim committee with $3.
500 to spend for the study of sex
crime prevention.
Rep. Elmer Deetz (R-Canby)
introduced a measure to exempt
from any statutory regulation the
sale of farm produce on the
premises.
A bill with 29 sponsors in both
House and Senate would pro
hibit any state employee or offi
cer from having an interest in
any contract made with his
branch of the government if that
employee participates in the
awarding of the contract.
LIQUOR BILL KILLED
Salem (U.R) The Senate
Judiciary Committee yesterday
voted 7 to 1 to table (thus kill
ing) a bill which would have
Ellowed private clubs to serve
liquor by the drink without
serving food.
However, Sen. Warren Gill,
chairman, said he understood
the food requirements for pri
vate clubs would be ignored be
cause of two opinions by the at
torney general which held that
forcing clubs to serve food con
travened the liquor-by-the-rirink
amendment.

New York U.R) An under
study who got her big chance to
star at the mammoth opening
performance of the circus came
Wednesday night and just stop
ped the show at Madison Square
Garden.
Her name was Karnaudi, an
xotic miss, a native of India.
Mamie Sends Note,
Flowers to Child
Washington (U.R) Mrs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower has sent
a bouquet of rose sand a note to
a six-year-old girl believed dying
from a brain tumor in a hospital
here.
The first lady noticed an ac
count of Linda Carpenter's ill
ness in the Washington Post and
Times Herald Tuesday. She sent
the flowers with this note:
"Dear Little Linda,
"I do hope that when this
little note reaches you it will
find you greatly improved. The
thoughts and prayers of all your
friends have been with you ever
since the accident on Feb. 3 and
I wanted you to know that my
prayers too are numbered among
them. My best wishes to you,
Linda. Mamie Dowd Eisenhow
er." Linda, daughter, of Mr. and
Mrs. John R. Carpenter, slipped
off a sled Feb. 3 and struck her
head. The injury may have ag
gravated a tumor pressing
against the base of her brain.
Doctors have operated three
times in an effort to relieve the
pressure. But Linda is not ex
pected to live. ;
Neighbors of Linda's family
have started a drive to raise
money to help pay the hospital
bills. Linda's father is a bus
driver.
When she appeared nude, ex
cept for two coats of pink paint
people stood and cheered. Men
howled and whistled.
A mob of photographers and
reporters milled about her as
she minced around the tanbark.
Miss Karnaudi took the ap
plause ,in stride. She stopped
now and then to bow and wave
her trunk. She is a good ele
phant. In her triumph she didn't
seem to mind that riding astride
her neck was a movie actress, a
Miss Marilyn Monroe.
Miss Monroe also was rather
scantilly clad. She wore a few
ostrich feathers and a striped
velvet bow behind her, and
nothing such before except a
strapless, legless bodice spat
tered with sequins and pearls.
Milton Berle, the master of cere
monies, took a look and said to
the multitude:
"Compared to her, Jane Rus
sell's a boy."
Both Miss Monroe and Miss
Karnaudi .stand out in many re
spects. They circled the track in
four minutes, smiling at their
respective admirers, moving to
gether with a certain rhythm.
Tanks To Tusks -
The idea of a pink elephant is
to represent the "Morning After
New Year's Eve" in a parade of
holidays. It was put in especially
for a star-studded benefit for the
Arthritis and Rheumatism foun
dation staged at the opening
night of the Ringling Bros. Bar
num & Bailey Circus, the well
known "Greatest Show On
Earth."
This correspondent watched
Miss Monroe get into her cos
tume. It was extremely interest
ing. Then he watched Miss Kar
naudi get into hers. She was
dressed by two members of the
painters and decorators union,
George Kira (Local 803) and Abe
Siegel (Local 1011) using large
brushes and exactly 10 gallons
of paint of a hue called "blush
ing pink." They said most of
their previous work had been
painting gas tanks.
toric .exemption from taxes on
income from unrelated business
activities.
Rep. Lor an Stewart (R - Cot
tage Grove), chairman, told the
witnesses there was a danger
of the state losing much o its
tax base through the subterfuge
of businesses being sold to
church or educational institu
tions. The state already suffer
ed from federal ownership of 58
per cent of land area, thus re
moving it from the lax rolls,
he said.
William Phillips, speaking for
Willamette university, said
business income earned by pri
vate schools was keeping them
in business and saved the state
the cost of educating students en
rolled in non-state institutions.
Ralph Scott, speaking for
Lewis and Clark college in Port
land, said repeal of the exemp
tion proposed by the bill before
the committee would cost Lewis
and Clark $750 a year. He said
the school required donations of
SI 00,000 a year to balance its
budget.
Committee members support
ing the bill said they hoped to
close the tax loophole now used
by several large corporations
that had been sold to church,
educational, or charitable institu
tions and escaped tax obligations
to the state.
Transportation Districts. May
Solve Transit Firm Problems
By WILLIAM WARREN
United Press Correspondent
Salem (U.R) The advent of
the automobile and then tele
vision has posed a problem for
mass transportation lines
throughout the nation. Perhaps
one solution is creation of trans
portation districts which would
tax themselves for public trips
to town.
Gordon S. Steel, president of
the Portland Traction Company,
told the Senate Commerce and
Utilities Committee headed by
Sen. Lee Ohmart (R-Salem) that
the shift has been more and
more toward taking the family
car to town instead of boarding
the bus.
He said the time might even
come when the shift would be
entirely to private transporta
tion, but in the interim, people
need and insist on mass trans
portation. Districts Sought
He spoke before the committee
late yesterday in favor of Sen
ate bill 274 which would author
ize the creation of transporta
tion districts, within a county,
or within more than one county.
Residents in a district could
vote to tax themselves to sup
port mass transportation. Then
the district could either operate
its own service or contract with
a traction company to furnish
the service.
Sen. Francis W. Ziegler (R
Corvallis) asked Steele if he
didn't fear the districts would
vote to operate their own serv
ice and put his company out of
business. Steele said "we think
we're good enough salesmen to
sell uiem uui sci v.c.
TV Hurts Travel
Transit lines throughout Ore
gon, Steele said, -'are faced with
the problem of furnishing trans
portation to areas which don't
furnish enough patronage to
pay. Consequently, it has to be
charged to other, profitable
areas in the form of a system-
wide fare increase.
Since television came to Port
land Steele said, night travel has
dronoed 30 per cent, because
people are getting their enter
tainment right at home.
The committee has the bill up
for further study.

Washington U.R) Backstairs
at the White House:
Mrs. Eisenhower's recent bout
with the flu appears to have
taken off several pounds. She is
noticeably slimmer, particularly
around the face. Quite attrac
tive, too.
Photographers noticed it the
other day when she posed for
pictures with Lt. Col. William
F. Santelmann, the Marine
Corps band director who is re
tiring. The loss of weight, if that is
what it is, made her appear
more youthful. She seemed in
excellent spirits and health as
Federal Funds Available
For Portland Slum Plan
Portland (U.R) The na
tion's number one housing auth
ority says federal funds will be
available to Portland if the city
decides to clear a slum area for
its recreation exposition center.
Albert M. Cole, administrator
of Housing and Home Finance
agency said last night he thought
the funds could be obtained un
der the government's urban re
development plan.
Asked about the possibilities
of Portland's getting money to
clear slum areas for a sport stad
ium or a recreation-exposition
center, he said such a project
could be built on any site clear
ed of slums - by government
money. He said "we are not so
concerned with' what is built
there as we are with getting rid
of the slum."
RELEASED Nebraska prison
guard Warren Miller shows how
one of eight tough convicts held
homemade knife to his throat to
enforce rioters' demands. Miller
and another guard were held
hostage for 65 hours by the rebel
prisoners.
Guards Given Blame
In Hostage Incident
Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Ne
braska Penitentiary officials
said today that two guards could
blame themselves for walking
into a convict's trap and touch
ing off a 65-hour rebellion.
Deputy Warden Don B. Green
holtz said the guards, who were
held as hostages during the mar
athon riot, "were lax in hand
ling the men."
The guards, Warren Miller, 43,
and Eugene Swanson, 34, were
released unharmed when the
eight rebel convicts surrender
ed early yesterday.
The number of repairmen.
mechanics and technicians has
more than doubled in the U.S.
in the past 10 years, the De
partment of Labor says.
she urged Santelmann to "come
back and see us sometime."
Italian Prime Minister Mario
Scelba seemed amused, but
somewhat puzzled by the horde
of photographers around the
front steps of the White House
offices when he arrived to con
fer with the President.
When the photographers
swarmed into the President's of
fice to get a picture of the two
principals, Scelba, through an
interpreter, expressed amaze
ment that there were so many of
them. So many that they had to
enter the office in relays.
The President quipped that he
hoped the pictures would turn
out as successfully as his chat
with the prime minister. .
For the last two trips to
Gettysburg, the reporters and
photographers trailing the Pres
ident have been barred from
entering the Eisenhower farm.
They cooled their heels in autos
at the entrance to the estate.
This probably will become the
rule rather than the exception
as the Eisenhowers spend more"
time at their home. The Gettys
burg farm is their personal and
private property and they want
to keep it that way.
If it rains here April 11, base
ball's opening day between
Washington and B a 1 1 i more,
chances are the major leagues
will have to open the season
without a first-ball pitch by
President Eisenhower. He still
plans to leave for Augusta
April 12.
If rained out here April 11,
Washington would not play be
fore the local fans again until
April 14 and it will take a lot of
pressure to get Mr. Eisenhower
to change his Georgia plans
Conceivably he might fly back
just for the day, but only
conceivably.
What every
good cook knows:
Just a little difference in ingredients
makes a big difference in cooking results
Snowdrift is just a little lighter than any other shorten- "
ing and that can make the big difference in giving
iour family lighter, more digestible foods.
Snowdrift givesusf a little more
safety than ordinary shorten
ings, because it fries perfectly at
correct high temperatures. That
can make the big difference in
digestibility of fried foods.
Snowdrift's ingredients axe just
a little costlier than any other
solid shortening's (yet you pay
no more). That can make th
big difference in better tasting
foods, whether fried or baked.
No other shortening at any price is
sc creamy, so digestible - and so light!
