Corvallis U.S. economic aid channeled through the United Nations to "neutralist" countries has been advocated by Oregon ians balloting in the 1957 "Great Decisions" discussions as the most positive means of wooing uncommitted nations into the democratic camp. Middle - of - the road dealings with neutralists were favored by most persons voting in more than 300 Oregon Great Decisions groups according to a ballot count made last week by Ore gon State college extension serv ice. Opinion ballots came from 22 Oregon counties on the issue, "Are Neutralists' Against U.S.?'' It was one of eight foreign policy issues up for discussion during the 1957 Great Decisions series. 'Neutralist' Suspicion To meet any "neutralist" sus picion of the U.S., Oregon votes rated foreign policy alternatives in the following order: Forty-four per cent believed we should make it clear to the uncommitted nations that we do not want to dominate them, po lemically or economically. Second-place alternative that received 26 per cent of the vote favored offering neutralists eco nomic and technical assistance on the basis of their needs, re gardless of their foreign policy. Other votes were scattered over six remaining' alternatives with little or no support of such extreme policies such as "do nothing" attitude or offer of military assistance regardless of their foreign policy. ' Economic Front On the question of U.S. inter- ests with neutralists of Asia, 1 the Middle East and Africa, Ore- gon ballots showed 48 per cent i in favor of keeping our mili . tary alliances in ( the area but i trying to do more on the eco- nomic front. The alternative also ; recommended that the U.S. help . the underdeveloped nations of the world build strong economies ; of their own as a defense against Russian and Red Chinese expan sion. Next most popular alternative on the Asian-African question received 33 per cent of the vote calling or less attention to the military front and closer ties with the "neutralists" in the United Nations. Neutralists now control one-third of the votes in the UN. Among other alternatives for dealing with this trouble spot, the least popular called for abandonment of our pacts in the area such as our alliance in the Southeast Asia Treaty organization. Alternatives for Threat U.S. alternatives for meeting any Russian threat in "neutral ist" areas were favored In the following order: Sixty-seven per cent thought the U.S. should work more through the United Nations and channel U.S. aid through the UN as much as possible, cooper ate with "neutralists" in the UN. and offer moral leadership in the UN for peace. Yugoslavia's brand of "neutral ism" was next with 18 per cent of the vote. This would offer help to any country that shows it does not want to be domi nated by Russia even if that country has a communist gov ernment Eight per cent thought the U.S. should offer to cooperate with Russia in aid to underde veloped neutralist nations. Only a small percentage of voters favored cutting off aid or trade with neutralists that accept aid from Russia or trade with Rus- An alternative to support sia or Red China. Spring Brings Several New Changes in Star Pictures By FAY BENTLEY With the coming of spring we observe Mother Earth discard ing her drab winter qostume for verdant fields and bright hued flowers. In like manner the ar rival of a new season finds many changes in the positions of star pictures in the heavens. The brilliant constellations that for weeks have fascinated sky-minded persons are now well advanced in their journey down the "hills of heaven" towards the western skyline. Taurus The Bull By 8 p.m. during the first part of April, Taurus the Bull may be seen due west and about one third of the way up from the horizon. The Pleiades, a tiny dipper-shaped star cluster, form an easy identification point and mark the shoulder of Taurus. Another star cluster, the V shaped Hyades, lying to the left of, and slightly above the Plei ades, is considered to be the Bull's face. The brightly twink ling, reddish, first magnitude star, Alderbaran, forms the ani mal's right eye. Orion the Mighty Hunter is less than half way up in the south-western sky. The short slanting line of three stars, equally spaced and of equal brightness form The Hunter's belt and provide a simple rec ognition mark for this most bril liant of all the constellations in the heavens. Beneath Orion's feet is The Rabbit or Lepus, the Hare. Also in the southwest and to the right of Orion are his two dogs, who nightly pursue Lepus the Hare across the sky. Canis Minor, made up of two stars, one military bright and one dim, is a little MORNINGJ ""Ttrivii irr - - niefcrf - v rr aWi -n "-Vs- DOORS OPEN 9:30 A.M. SPECIAL SALE Genuine Appliances 10.95 G.E.

Canis Major Constellation Canis Major, The Big Dog, has for the head the most brilliant star in all the heavenly host. This constellation lies to the left of Orion end directly beneath Can- is Minor. Gemini the Twins is standing almost upright above Orion and is high in the southwest. These mythical boys, resembling stick figures, have for their heads two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, which appear to be about an arm's length apart. These constellations which have shone brilliantly during the months of winter are gradually giving way to new arrivals that rise in the east during the weeks of spring. Leo the Lion, first visible in February, now shines almost ov erhead in the southeastern sky by 8 p.m. A line of six stars in the form of a hand sickle or "question mark backwards" forms the easily recognized head of this fierce beast. To the left of The Sickle a right triangle of three stars represents the hind quarters of the animal. Regulus, a first magnitude star at the bottom of The Sickle, is considered to be the Lion's heart and Denebola at the extreme left in the triangle is the tail. Orion the Mighty Hunter is the most brilliant constellation in the entire sky, but Leo the Lion is the brightest star picture in the zodiac. Legend tells us that this was the terrible Nemean Lion which Hercules was told to kill as the first of his Twelve Labors. Con cealing himself by the water hole he planned to destroy the beast as he was drinking. But when Hercules thrust his sword at the lion, the beast jumped aside and escaped with minor injuries. Dropping his sword, Hercules grabbed the fierce animal by the throat and choked him to death . with his bare hands. Juno then placed the lion in the sky and there he may be seen, high in the squtheastern heavens during the early weeks of spring.

Robert Y. Thorn ton, U.S. Judge William East ruled here Friday. The ruling, made over the strenous protest of the attorney general's office, defeats Thorn ton's attempts to get the tapes back.

The FBI seized the tapes last September. U. S. Attorney C. E.
