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

higher in the sky than his master.
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.

U.S. Said Legal
Custodian of Tape
Portland U.R The federal
government is the legal custo
dian of five reels of electronic
recordings the FBI seized from
Attorney Gen. 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 tapes are the basis of in
dictments against James B. El
kins, 56, Portland vice-czar and
his employee, Raymond F. Clark.
34. Elkins and Clark are slated
to go to trial on charges of violat
ing the federal wire tap law
April 18.
The tapes were initially seized
in a county police raid on Clark's
home hut a district judge ruled
the raid illegal. The - evidence
was ordered suppressed and
tapes were given to Thornton.
The FBI seized the tapes last
September.
U. S. Attorney C. E. Luckey
told Judge East that the FBI
seized the taps because of the
danger that they might be re
turned to "the people from
whom they were seized."
Assistant Attorney General
Arthur Kaplan told the judge
that the tapes were needed by
the Multnomah county grand
jury now investigating and cor
ruption in Portland.
Earlier, attorney for Elkins
and Clark won from Judge East'
permission to listen to the re
cordings in 'advance of their
trial. The playing of the records
will be supervised by Judge
East.

byist on the floor of this House,
I want him brought before the
bar of the assembly and we'll
see that he gets a good fat jail
sentence."
