o g3 Si O O TZW MEDrORD (OREGON) Minority Issue Seen Likely in U.S. Politics As Result of Dispute Br LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R Bold vents of the next few days probably will determine wheth er dom e s 1 1 c politics in the United States for a genera tion shall be further fren zied by anoth angry minority issue. In this in stance, the af- i ,1k 1 Lyu c. tectea minor- orit. would b the large, influ ential n tartegically situated crimunity of American Jews. T(D Jkmricn Negro presently th rbrel point of bitter poli tical controversy.' comparable in mny ays with the issue of slaerj which brought on the ar between the states. No ich ar is in prospect, evn remotely, regardless of the outcome of the dispute over the social status of Negroes in the United States or the outcome of the Arab-Israel ruckus in the Middle East. President Eisenhower and eihers, however, are fearful the Middle Eastern dispute could contribute substantially toward World War III. That lifts the Israeii issue well out of domes tic U.S. politics so far as its over-all significance is con cerned. Recalls Irish Question Barring that grim potential of an early atomic war, however, t h international controversy over Middle Eastern boundaries may, in its U.S. ballot box im pact be like the impact of the Irish question. The Irish ques-i In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Interesting rather hopeful news: The heads of six Western Eu ropean states France, West Germany. Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg announce that they have reached agreements on customs and at omic resources treaties. The treaties calf upon the six nations to pool their economies in a single powerful customs union and to merge their atomic re sources. The idea is to make it as easy for these nations to trade with each other as it is for our Amer ican states to trade with each other. yyaY is that hopeful? It's alwavs hopeful when na tions get together to talk PEACEFUL TRADE instead of Sr. 5iRE lntere8tm8 news: gngineers have struck oil in uthwestern France maybe in quantities sufficient to meet ?ta;If of France's future needs. Thett is more important to 8ronC than learning how to mae new and more destruc tive Atom bomb. JEWS of a different kind: An earthnuake in Tunisia has Wrecked a village, killing 12 per sons and injuring 30. A volcano 30 miles west of Guatemala City is sending flames and smoke hundreds of feet up into the air after a spec tacular eruption that threatened nearby tillages. In Chile, lava pouring out of a volcano has cut off a river and is overflowing highways and threatening homes. Maybe Nature is trying to prove that she can be just as des tructive as MAN. INTERESTING and maybe significant thought: The earthquake in Africa and the volcanic eruptions in Latin O America get headlines and wide reading. The discovery of oU in France draws a three-line para O O graph that very few will notice. Generally speaking, we pay MUCH more attention to bad news than to good news. O T-iCONOMY forces in the house " of representatives in Wash es0 ington claim they have the votes necessary to make the first CUT V in the Eisenhower budget. They expect to pass a bill authorizing 53.880,000,000 to run the post office and treasury departments attd the federal tax courts. That would be a reduction of 58 mil q lion dollars in the appropria tions requested by the adminis tration. e fJiHE ptst office and treasury de- '- partments and the federal ta, courts are among the most essential services of the federal government. But No reasonable person doubts that 58million dollars can be cut from their expenses without af fecting their efficiency in the least. The Hoover commission tells us that a similar program of trimming out needless waste in ALL the departments of our fed eral government could save the taxpayers from four to five BIL LION dollars with no sacrifice of efficiency. MAIL TRIBUNE tion was a U.S. domestic issue in the era of World War I and some years thereafter. The question itself was wheth er and when the British would withdraw from their civil and I military' control of all or part of Ireland, now Eire. That ques tion was resolved in the 1920s oy British withdrawal accom panied and preceded by extra ordinary Irish acts of violence against themselves, against the British and against whomsoever might be handy. But it was resolved. The Irish question then began to diminish as an issue of U.S. domestic politics. United States cities such as Boston, New York and Chicago sheltered vast numbers of Irish Americans whose voting habits more often than not had been as much or more influenced by events in Erin than by events in their home towns. None with a memory of the bitter anti-British sentiments with which political candidates sought votes in the great Irish American communities was sur prised this month when Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr., scorned the visiting King Saud of Saudi Arabia and refused him a muni cipal welcome in New York. Gov. Averell Harriman, of none was surprised by that, either. Whatever the motives of the mayor and of the governor may have been, practical politi cians counted their actions as likely to hold or win them friends and votes among the very large Jewish community of New York City.

Oregon 1 Friday, February 22, 1957 Building Problems Of School Districts Legislative Topic Salem 'U.R; How to meet the building problems of some 40 distressed Oregon school dis tricts was being discussed by the Oregon Legislature today. The House Education Commit tee yesterday went over House Bill 430 which provides S7 mil lion for distressed districts which cannot meet their build ing needs. A State Department of Edu cation survey shows the dis tricts need some S7. 809.917 be yond their remaining bonding capacity of S5.928.024 to provide for building needs of 513,737,841 in the next two years. In order to qualify for state aid a district would have to be bonded to 95 per cent of its capacity or $10,000 and its fa cilities would have to be inade quate by state standards. Immediate Relief Needed Jim Turnbull of the State De partment of Education told the committee the money was need ed for immediate relief of dis tressed districts, but that it could also be used for match money if Congress enacted a federal school aid program. Cecil Posey, Oregon Education association, said that school building aid bills had been be fore the Legislature since 1951 without action. The committee indicated that more work would have to be done on a formula for distribut ing the money and classifying districts in order of their needs. Members hoped to be able to take final action on the bill next Tuesday Hertford, N.C.

Former President Truman on President Eis enhower's speech Wednesday that the United Nations should set up sanctions against Israel: "I 'believe sanctions should have started when Russia went through the Black Sea straits.

Senator Morse Again Issuing Newsletter To Oregon Residents By SEN. WAYNE MORSE Washington, D.C. (Special) This first, newsletter of 1957 marks the continuation of my policy of making every effort to keep citizens of Oregon inform ed on the activities of the Senate in the many legislative fields that are so vital to you. My plan is to issue a newsletter in the early part of every month. I recently made a speech made on the floor of the Senate pertaining to President Eisen hower's request for blank-check authority to send American money and American boys, if necessary, to the oil-rich Middle East. The speech explains the reasons why I shall vote against the scheme as it now stands. The President's proposition has aroused deep and wide spread concern. I strove to point out what I believe to be some serious constitutional questions which it raises, and to propose a substitute for it. Discrimination Must Stop Last year the Congress adopt ed a series of changes in the Soc ial Security Act, among them a provision for payment of bene fits to persons who have become totally and permanently dis abled, starting at age 50. That was a bare beginnig. Now we should move forward to do an adequate job. Adding disability provisions to the Social Security law was the most notable and desirable extension since the basic law was instituted 20 years ago. But jt did not go far enough. This extension recognized the desperate plight of working peo ple and their families when the provider is stricken with an ill ness or'sustains an injury which robs him of earning power. This injustice has been removed for persons with Social Security coverage who are 50 or over. However, I am greatly dis turbed because the remaining thousands of disabled individ uals under 50 are excluded from the extended provisions. Many such families are relying upon meager public welfare funds for existence. On Feb. 7, I introduced a bill in the Senate on behalf of my colleague, Dick Neuberger, Sen ator Russell Long of Louisiana and myself, to repeal the un realistic and discriminatory age requirement of the. disability provision. Let us give working people and their families what they earn by their Social Secur ity payments namely, security against disabling illness and in jury.

These meeting are prov ing to be of great mutual value. The chairmanship rotates among the two Senators and Represen tatives Edith Green, Charley Porter and Al Ullman. We were all very pleased to have as our guest at our Inaug uration Day breakfast Gov. and Mrs. Robert D. Holmes, with whom we had a most valuable exchange of views. With a new, vigorous state administration headed by Bob Holmes, we look forward to harmonious and ef fective relations between Salem and Washington. Following the breakfast in honor of Governor and Mrs. Holmes, we all went to the in auguration ceremonies in front of the Capitol. The Senate marched in a procession to the International Synonym for Achievement ! Mention the name "Cadillac" wherever you will and in whatever part of the .civilized world you might be and you will find a common meeting-ground of understanding. It is, in brief, a world-wide synonym for personal achievement! And this is, we think, entirely logical. For over the years, the Cadillac car has played a vital role In the lives of so many of the leading citizens of every community where motor cars are seen. Cadillac Is, in fact, the almost predictable choice of those who choose without restriction. This, of course, is not to say that a motorist need necessarily possess an abundance of this world's goods In order to enjoy the great and un duplicated satisfactions of Cadillac ownership. Klondike Kate's Death Recalls Incidents in Alaska Gold Rush Days Sweet Home, Ore. (U.R) The death of Mrs. W. L. Van Duren. better know as "Klondike Kate" during the Alaskan gold rush, at her home here yesterday re called many colorful incidents of a past era. During, the 1900 gold rush days she was reported to have earned $750 a night dancing for Alaskan sourdoughs. In those days champagne sold at $15 a pint and dances cost sourdoughs SI each. In 1949 when gold was re ported found near Fishwheel, Alaska, Kate took a calm view. "So they've got nuggets the size of peas?" she asked. "Is that all the larger they are. Why, I've got a necklace with half a dozen nuggets larger than that." No Rowdyism at Dawson City She was a 'teen-ager when she earned her title at Dawson City. "There was no rowdyism," she said in a 1949 interview. "The Canadian Mounties were there to keep law and order, and pros pectors treated us as ladies." Among her Yukon friends were Tex Rickard, later a famed boxing promoer, and Rex Beach, the author. ' When she made her first air plane flight, to New York for a 1941 radio program, she said " . . . I always put down as my most thrilling ride a 100-mile dash by dog sled across snow and half-frozen ice. She was born In 1880 near Oswego, Kan. She later embark ed on a stage career in New platform and I was delighted to i have as my partner my great I teammate in the Senate, Dick Neuberger. It was with great amusement that I read in the Oregon Journal some days later a false statement by a Republi can member of the Oregon State Legislature that I did not plan to attend the inaugural cere mony. There was never any basis in fact for this smear, just as there was never any basis in fact during the recent campaign for the smear attacks upon my record in the Senate. 143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE York and toured the nation, fi nally following the gold rush to Alaska. Honorary Fireman While in Bend she was made an honorary member of the fire department and was know as "Aunt Kate." In recent years she attended meetings of Canadian Sour doughs in Portland. Kate's first husband was John Matson. a sourdough with whom she fell in love in the Yukon. She was 53 when they were married. Matson died in 1946 when he was 83 years old while in the Yukon. The body was taken to Rig don's funeral parlor in Salem. Funeral arrangements were pending. TAPED STATISTICS Schenectady, N.Y.

Several models are actually priced com petitively with much smaller, lighter cars. . Consider the practical aspects of driving a Cadillac The car is remarkably economical from a standpoint of both maintenance and operation. And lastly, think of the wisdom of owning a Cadillac. Year after year, Cadillac returns a greater share of its owner's original investment than any other motor car in the land. In other words, wisdom and practicality can lead you to the "car of cars" just as surely as prominence and prosperity. We suggest that you come in soon that you spend an hour at the wheel and that you delay no longer in making the magic move to Cadillac. We'll be looking for you soon.
