British Troops
Declared Fighting
On Yemen Soil
London (U.R) The official
ndio of the ruler of the feudal
Arab kingdom of Yemen
charged today that British troops
upported by tanks and armored
cars were fighting on Yemen ter
ritory.
Tne British Colonial Office
here said that Royal Air Force
planes in the British adminis
tered Aden protectorate had been
in action against "intruders from
the Yemen." But a spokesman
aid "they have not been in ac
tion In Yemen.
Latnt in Series
These charges were the latest
in a series in which Britain and
the Red Sea state of Yemen re
cently have accused each other
of raids - along the ill-defined
Border between Yemen and
Aden, both of which lie at the
southern extremity of the Ara-
man remnsula.
Reports reaching here said Ye
men was mobilizing its army
after declaring a virtual state of
war against Britain over the
frontier dispute which has been
going on for nearly 50 years.
Aden reports said about 12,000
Yemeni troops have converged
on Taizz, where Yemen's King
Irrian Ahmed lives in his "palace
01 pieniiruiness.
The Colonial Office claimed
the Yemen's action is due to fear
that recent improvements in the
status of the Aden protectorate
maae xemen s claim to sover
eignty over the area lass attrac
tive to the inhabitants of the pro
tectorate.
Auto Rams Bed;
Two Slightly Hurt
Portland (U.R) Two Port
land residents escaped with only
minor injuries early.Sunday
when a runaway car crashed into
the bedroom of their home and
hurled them from their beds.
Police said Ray H. Knitpel and
his wife, Marie, both 38, were
thrown against a wall with suf
ficient force to break the par
tition frame.
A 19-year-old Prineville youth,
Ernest Leonard Grabble Jr., was
identified as driver of the car.
The crash demolished the bed
room of the home and moved
the house from its foundation.
Grubble told police he must
have fallen asleep at the wheel
of his car. He was not injured.
He said he suddenly realized
he was heading directly toward
a lumber truck and wheeled the
car to avoid crashing into it.
The vehicle struck the curb, then
skidded into the stucco house.
Price Supports To
Hurt Small Ranchers
Phoenix (U.R) The president
of the American National Cattle
men's Association said Monday
government price supports for
the cattle industry would drive
small ranchers out of business,
but still would allow "the big
ranchers to make profits."
Don C. Collins, Kit Carson,
Colo., told the 60th annual con
vention of the association, which
opened here:
"I am not damning support
and the soil bank, but using them
as examples of what can happen
when the politicians do the farm
ing and ranching.
"I am sure history will bear
out the contention of many men
that the soil bank and other sup
port schemes now in existence in
some phases of agriculture will
turn out to be lessons of what it
costs tomorrow to get a dollar
today."

Taste -of Role as Congressman
Name for Brazil's '
New Capital Protested
Rio De Janeiro-CJ.W Brazil's
plans to call its projected new
capital "Brasilia" faced possible
revision today. .
Officials of the city of Bra
silia, in Minas Gerais state,
brought legal action to prevent
use of its name. Federal law pro
hibits use of the same name by
two communities.
The old Brasilia, founded in
1832, has 40,000 population. The
projected new one is provided
for in the 1946 constitution and
was given its name by Congress
last year. The government ex
pects to transfer the capital from
Rio to the new site inland some
time this year.

Bobt Unit uers irgra ' con
stituents and the congressman's
feet.
Charles O. Porter of Eugene,
Oregon's newly elected fourth
district representative, returned
to his office after.presenting his
credentials to Speaker Sam
Rayburn, settled , back in his
chair, propped "his feet up
where they could jhow rightfully
be placed, and declared with ob
vious satisfaction:-
I've been lookig forward to
this for 24 years. When I read
Lincoln Steffens' book (Shame
of the Cities) when I was in Eu
gene High, the year my dad lost
our house through a foreclosure,
it made a profound impression
on me, and I suppose made me
a Democrat. But that was the
motivating force for rr.e to want
to become a congressman.
He's Enjoying It
Now that he had made it,
Porter was enjoying it hugely,
plunging right into the custo-.
mary backstage dickering that
goes on for choice committee as
signments. He hopes for a spot
on the appropriations committee
but knows those much-sought
posts go to veteran legislators.
He's talked to Chairman Eman
uel Celler of the Judiciary Com
mittee, which usually attracts
lawyer members.
In the outer office of his two-
room suite in tne uia nouse
Building on Capitol Hill, four
staff members were already an
swering mail and a battery of
telephones.
Mapped Career
Porter recalled how he map
ped out his career with the de
liberation of a navigator who
had only one destination, taking
the route of the law profession.
'I went to law school not be
cause I wanted to become a law
yer, but because I wanted to get
into politics, he said.
Along the way his passion for
improving the social conditions
of the world, sparked by Stef
fens' "muck-raking" book, only
grew as he learned what made
the wheels go around in the so'
cial order.
But as a freshman congress
man. Porter said he is going to
devote himself as much as pos
sible to local problems of his
congressional district. His first
bill, introduced on opening day,
symbolized this approach. It
would authorize modification of
the existing river improvement
project for the Siuslaw river to
open the port of Florence to
ocean-going freight e r s and
barges by deepening its channel.
Closer Outlet "
Porter said that "450,000 per
sons would, through this assist
ance, be given a closer outlet to
ocean traffic than any other port
on the coast and $6 per thousand
board feet could be saved on
lumber shipments that now
move through Portland to reach
shipping."
"But I also intend to spend a
third of my time on war and
peace," said Porter, "to do what
I can for peace. I'm going to
work out a study program to
educate myself to world prob
lems, especially what the UN is
doing."

'Handwriting Twin'
Chances Are Slim
Chicago (U.R) The chance
that you have a "handwriting
twin" somewhere is about one in
three million, according to a ma
jor maker of ball pens.
If there is a person whose
writing resembles yours, more
over, the chance that the resem
blance could fool an expert is
one in 50 million, the firm's re
search showed.
The company said a person's
handwriting is about his "most
original possession," with char
acteristics that are readily dis
cernible to the trained eye.
For one thing, there are 12
basic categories of handwriting.
Included among them are writ
ing with a "swooping, looping
circular turn," and the type that
is "short, jagged, jerky," the
company said.
Even though your writing may
fall into one of these broad clas
sifications, it would be practical
ly impossible' for someone else
to duplicate your writing style
because no one writes in exactly
the same way twice.
brought travel to a standstill.
Highway department workers
reached for their records and
admitted that the controversial
strip of land did belong to the
Stumbos.
Circuit Judge Carl E. Wimb
erly heard the motion yesterday
and warned "the court cannot
allow time to deal with trifles."
Stumbo charged that the high
way department had "lost its
sense of humor."
Knew It Long Ago
Leonard Linndall, attorney
for the State Highway Depart
ment, said the Stumbo brothers
knew of the right-of-way ques
tion nine years ago and could
have cleared it up without dif
ficulty had they only contacted
the department. -
The Stumbos earlier sub-di
vided their plot of land and be
gan selling the four inch squares
at S2 each. After about 100 were
sold, the State Highway Depart
ment suit halted the sale.
Judge Wimberly ordered both
sides to file the briefs in the
case.
Four Lodged in Jail

Rawles Moore. i
Sentenced were James Her-,
bert Whitsitt, 43, Camp White, !
and Curtis Ray Ford, 22, 2819 !

ford, both of whom pleaded i
guilty to driving while under
the influence of intoxicating j
liquor. Each was fined $225, j
their driver's license suspend-;
ed for 90 days, and they receiv- j
ed 30-day suspended jail sen
tences during good behavior.
George Arthur Plumlee, 18,

'Discriminatory'
Tax Repeal Sought
Washington (U.P.) Rep. Har-,
lan Hagen (D-Calif.) said today
he will work for repeal of a !
"discriminatory" transportation j
tax on unprocessed farm prod-1
ucts.. '
He said he would ask for early
hearings before the House Ways '
and Means committee on a re- ;
peal bill he introduced Monday, i
The three per cent tax is "par- :
ticularly discriminatory," Hagen
said, on western farmers because I
of the higher freight rates and j
consequently higher taxes that j
they pay.
He pointed out the tax was i
imposed during World War II as i
means of discouraging farm !
shipments by rail to save space
for defense material.
"It has since remained on the j
statute books and long outlived !
its usefulness, he said.
