r Oregon Woman Feels Russians Resigned To Communist Berlin U.P) Mrs. Z. B. Al drich, president of the East Ore gonian Publishing Company, Pendleton, Ore., said Friday the Russian people appear to be re signed to their Communist gov ernment. Mrs. Aldrlch spent 23 days in the Soviet Union on a sfudy group tour sponsored by the Ore gon Journal and the World Af fairs Council of Oregon. The Pendleton company publishes the "East Oregonian" newspaper. Regime Sadly Accepted "The Russians seem to sadly accept their regime," she said in an interview. "They are re signed to it. Apparently they are afraid to oppose it and they feel opposition would be in vain." "However, she expressed the hope that education might lead to opposition to the nation's to talitarian regime. "The Russians are placing great stress on education," she said. "Everyone appears to be studying. This could be a danger to the regime, with education the people might begin to think for themselves and question Com munist dogma." The study group visited Lenin- k Yellowstone I mi ..

"In Tiflis the police had to come to clear a way for us through a huge crowd from our hotel to our tour bus outside," she said. She said Russian women were the worst dressed women she had ever seen. "They wear one-piece print dresses of weird colors," she said. "They are some of the worst dresses I have ever seen. Very few of them fit.

Fear of Haircut Costs Life of Boy New York (U.R) The fear of losing his curly locks to a pair of shears caused the death Fri day night of five-year old Ro berto Gutierrez. Proud of his silken curls, long like a girl's, Roberto was told by his parents he would have to have a haircut from his father. Terrified Roberto ran to the bathroom and locked himself in. By the time the father, Jose, was able to force open the door, he was just able to glimpse his son falling out the window. The boy struck a paved courtyard three floors below and was killed instantly. Linville, N.C. (U.R) 'Tis a fine thing when Smith and Brown are more Scottish than MacTavish.

Maker U aKer or awnings lia S Medford for 35 Yea Yaquina Project Out for Present After Ike's Veto Portland (U.R) A federal project to deepen the channel in Yaquina bay to Newport and To ledo harbors on the Oregon coast apparently had fallen by the wayside, at least for the present, with President Eisenhower's veto of the rivers and harbors authori zation bill. The $1,600,000,000 bill in cluded an item of $19,800,000 for the Yaquina bay improvement. Oregon's two senators Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger championed the Yaquina bay authorization. Clearwater Project Out But they opposed another pro ject that was knocked out by the veto, the Braces Eddy site on the north fork of the Clearwater riv er in Idaho for a multipurpose dam. Neuberger said the proposed Braces Eddy dam would imperil the feeding ground of the largest herd of elk remaining in the United States. Morse said the Bruces Eddy project was "part of the private utilities partnership scheme to wipe out the people's interest in public power and to build smaller dams and give them to the private utilities as partnership dams." The Yaquina bay project as planned by the U.S. Corps of En gineers would have deepened the bay entrance to 40 feet and the channel to 30 feet. Portland Beer Price Increase Forecast Portland U.R) A possible increase this week of five cents in the price of a glass of beer here has been forecast. John E. Tehan, president of the Multnomah chapter of the Oregon Licensed Beverage Asso ciation, said he expected most taverns which now sell beer for 10 cents a glass to raise it to 15 cents. He said the boost would be in the wake of an increase in the cost of Western beer at the wholesale and brewery levels. However, Tehan said that most places which raise prices also may increase the size of the glass about three ounces. Most taverns now sell six or seven ounces for 10 cents. Bottled beer may go up a nickel also, Tehan said. He said it would be up to each tavern operator whether to raise prices.

Today's guest column Is written by producer Leland Hay ward on his production, "The Old Man And The Sea." By LELAND HAYWARD Written for United Press Hollywood (UP) There's no actor as temperamental as the sea unless it's a fish. They both have relentless determination and a predilection for the unex pected and they are both obvi ously anti-Hollywood. We have been dealing with both of them in the film produc tion of the Ernest Hemingway best-selling book, "The Old Man And The Sea," a story that has only two stars Spencer Tracy and a big fish, a marlin. It's an understatement to report that the sea and the fish did not show thoughful cooperation during the filming. That portion of the Gulf of Mexico which touches at the shores of Cuba is as warm and beautiful as an actress, and just as unpredictable. Seas Become Choppy Those calm mornings at sea when we were preparing the boats and cameras for a day of shooting were frequently twisted into choppy, rolling nightmares the minute Spencer Tracy ap peared. The waves that tossed Tracy in his fishing skiff were kicking at our camera barge at the same time. It was a lucky moment when Tracy and the camera syn chornized their rolls and were able to work together. While we were engaging the sea in Cuba, Hemingway was in Peru fighting it out with the fish. He had the job of casting, or casting for, the other star in the picture a marlin. There's prob ably no man in the world with more affection for the sea and its inhabitants than Hemingway. Marlin Hunted For almost six weeks, armed with tackle, camera and persist ence, he and a fishing crew prowled the seas off Cabo Blanco on the big marlin hunt. Catching the fish was a second ary consideration. Hemingway Feels mm Mri' - - ' Sww'-'-v 'it ,'."" - - ' . . -rfS-f"' ' ' ' " ' " Ever notice how a man looks when he takes the wheel of his new Cadillac and heads for his favorite highway? .Take a good look the next time you have a chance and we think you'll see a happy man! There's just no mistaking the pride and satisfaction that show in his face ... or the happiness and contentment that reside in his heart. And, as any experienced Cadillac owner can testify, he jeels every bit as wonderful as he looks! For a journey in the "car of cars" is both a marvelous tonic for the spirit . . . and a wonderful oppor tunity for physical rest and relaxation. ' By ALWI MOSBY United Press Correspondent can catch anything that swims. But the big problem was per suading the marlin to ham it up for the cameras. Marlin won't leap, sound or surface on cue. They fight the hooks and the camera in their own primitive fashion. At any rate, Hemingway and his party caught four enormous marlin and recorded their hostile antics on color film. It was, I should say, a triumph of film over fin. McKay Planning Coos-Curry Tour Portland (U.R) Douglas McKay, Republican candidate for U.S. senator, said Saturday he would make a town-by-town tour of Coos and Curry counties before leaving for the Republi can national convention in San Francisco.

August 12, I9S8 Smith Calls font Coordination of ' State Departments Salem U.R) Better co ordination between the govern or's office and state executive departments has been called for by Gov. Elmo Smith here in a meeting with a dozen top state officials. The governor, presenting his plans for better state manage ment, said more meetings would be held later to help improve communication and cooperation between the governor and exec utive agencies. The governor asked depart ment and commission heads to inform him of their legislative plans for 1957 so that there would be no conflicts among the departments. Robert C. Johnson, State Di rector of Finance, told the group that some reports of the state's general fund surplus had led to misconceptions. He said the money would have to be used for continuing the normal ser vices of government, property tax relief, direct aid to local ed ucation and reducing the gov ernmental dsbt were mentioned as possible uses. Charles Terry, civil service director, explained the state's program of management train ing and executive development as a means of increasing effic iency and producing state em ployees with executive ability. BEER ROUTS BANDIT Los Angeles U.R) Mrs. Gladys Hayward, owner of a liquor store, was restocking her shelves Friday when an armed bandit entered and demanded "all the money you got." Mrs. Hayward gave him all she had but in beer. She flung quart beer bottles at the surprised bandit until he fled.
