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

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.

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

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. Governor's Visit

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

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

for the smear attacks upon my

Consider, for Instance, the economy of buying a
Cadillac. 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.
