Highway Building
Program in Oregon
Will Be Reduced
Portland (U.R) State High
way Engineer R. H. Baldock said
yesterday that Oregon's road
building program will be cut
nearly in half next year because
of rejections by Congress yester
day of bills to help highway con
struction. He said the Highway Commis
sion had hoDed that Coneress
would pass one of the federal aid
bills. Either would have given
Oregon enough money to build
roads at the rate of about $50,-
000,000 a year for the next 10
to 13 years. Baldock said.
The state has been spending
an average of about 540,000,000
a year on road building, rights of
way and parks since 1952. But
the $72,000,000 highway bond
fund which helped finance that
construction is almost gone.
Less Money to Spend
With the $15,000,000 a year
Income from state highway bonds
expiring and no increased fed
eral help in sight it appears
Oregon wil have only about $25,
000,000 a year to spend on new
roads and parks after this year,
Baldock said. This figure, he
said, includes about $12,800,000
a year in federal aid which was
made available under a bill Con
gress passed last year. Rest of
the money comes from various
state revenues, principally the
gasoline tax. Level of federal
aid established in the 1954 bill
will last through June. 1957.

was described as being in "re

The archduchess, known Dlain-

a simple office clerk, told the
United Press she will devote the
rest of her life in protecting her i

She sooke with kindness of
her late husband, who claimed a
Mexican divorce at Tecala in
Morelos, August of 1950. As she
spoke, Sarolta touched with her
fingers, delicately, the beautiful
hand of her'mother. Mother and
daughters sat together in the
humble dwelling above a corner

Legally Separated
"I am not divorced from him."

of one. In fact. I have heard
nothing from my husband in all
these years."
"You must promise.' Dlease."
she said, "Not to give my age.
That is. not just because of the
vanity," you understand, but it
might make a difference in my

By W. V. NUSBAUM
In the last article I said a self-
employed farmer for social se
curity purposes is a person who
operates a farm either as owner.
lessee, or renter.
For social securitv mirnnses a
share-farmer is considered a self-
employed farmer. Bv "share-
farmer" I mean a person who
undertakes to Droduce a rrnn
or livestock on another nerson's
land, with the croD or its pro
ceeds to be divided.
To be self-emDloved. a share-
farmer must have the responsi
bility for the production of a
crop during the growing season.
His arrangement must be one
whereby earnings from operat
ing the land are a percentage
share of the total earnings.
Need Not Do All
While a self-employed share
farmer is one who enters into
agreement to produce a crop or '
livestock on land belonging to
someone else, it is not necessarv !
in all cases that he do every part
of the job. The phrase "to pro-,
duce a crop or livestock" does '
not mean that a share-cropper
need assume full responsibility
for paying the expenses or rais
ing or harvesting the crop. As
long as he has the resnnnsihil-
ity of the land during the grow
ing season, on a percentage or
proceeds arrangement, he is self
employed for social security
purposes. 1
A farmer who arranges with
someone to produce a crop or
livestock on his land for a per-1
centage share of the total crops 1
produced does not get social se- j
curity credit for that income, i
His share of the crop is consid-!
ered rental income and is ex

Haunted Houses Real, Oxford Professor Says
Oxford. England HI PI rw
Henry Habberley Price, Oxford
University's respected professor
of logic, declared Thursday that
ghost stories can be true and
that there "really are haunted
houses."
Price, 55, who was visiting
professor at Princeton in 1948,
made the statement in a paper
read at Oxford's conference of
modern churchmen
"There really are haunted
houses although they are not
so common as psychical, re
searchers could wish," he said.
"True ghost stories are not
nearly so exciting as fictitious
ones." 4
He said the true ghost stories
were "apparitions of the dead."
