TWTLYZ MIDrORD (OREGOlf) MAIL TRIBUNE rr!dy. Mar 10' 17 Ways-Means Group Whacks Building Program Budget Salem UR; Final action by the Joint Ways and Means Com mittee on a 55,067,000 state building program was expected today. The Board of Control origi nally recommended a $10,239, 000 building program but a Ways and Means subcommittee . headed by Sen. Ward Cook, Port land Democrat, cut the program in two. Late action on the program by the subcommittee Thursday saw $125,000 from the MacLaren school for boys building budget transferred to Fairview home to finance a hospital addition. Both institutions have building budg ets of more than a million dollars. The subcommittee re-affirmed its stand to cut the higher edu cation building program to $7 million, after defeating a move to cut out a $330,000 utility tun nel extension at Oregon State College. That would make a combination building program of some $12 million instead of the $20 million recommended by former Gov. Elmo Smith. Other major cuts were: $800, 000 for a geriatrics unit at East em Oregon State hospital, Pen dleton; $725,000 for a women s building at the state penitentiary and $750,000 for a new peniten tiary cellhouse.. The Board of Control had pre viously agreed to cut $631,000 for Dammasch state hospital from the program because con struction was not far enough along to make it necessary. Major projects included in the program: State hospital: $48,000 for ele vator and $200,000 for another story on administration build ing. MacLaren school: $273,000 for completing dormitory, $600,000 for new 100-bed dorm and $82, 000 for remodeling kitchen. Fairview home, $659,000 for new patients' building and heat ing plant expansion. Deaf school: $115;000 for heating tunnel and pre-school children's unit. Hillcrest School for Girls: $550,000 for new 72-girl dormi tory. Intermediate penal institution: $712,000 to finish work on sec tions one and two of the new reformatory near Salem. Also approved was $350,000 for a power plant to serve both the in termediate institution and cot tage arm and a new water sys tem for the reformatory area.

The conversations were two of nine, the government accuses HXins and Clark of intercepting and then I divulging their con tents without consent of the par ties to the conversations. The cancelled counts of the indictment involved conversa tions with youngsters, the chil dren of Thomas E. Maloney of Spokane and Joseph P. Mc Laughlin "of Seattle. The government rested its case against Elkins and Clark Thursday and the defense was expected to call its first wit nesses today. , , just once. Joan E. My. husband and I are in our early 20s and have been married only a few months. We have one problem that both ers me very much. My father is very conservative politically. My husband is very radical. The first time they met they got into a bitter argument and my father told me that Tom was just no good. When he got to know Tom better, he liked him very much, but they always steer clear of political discus sions. It happens that politics is a consuming interest with both Grange Notes Phoenix Grange. Phoenix Grange will meet Tuesday, May 14, at 8 p.m. The program will be at the usual time and Mothers Day will be observed, according to Lecturer Ethel Carr. This reporter wishes to cor rect an error that was made in reporting the program at the April 23 meeting. Mrs. Iva Harp er of Griff en Creek Grange wrote the narratire that was used during that program hon oring the 25th wedding anniver sary of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Nor ton. The serving committee for the May 14 meeting will be Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Herb Thomas and Mrs. Enid Caster. Publicity Chairman Gertrude Lewin Shady Cot Granga The regular meeting of the Shady Cove Grange 931 was held Wednesday evening in the music room of the Shady Cov-e school with Master Cecil Kee presiding. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Oliver were proposed for. membership and John Peterson was given the obligation for first and second degree. Committee reports given were HEC, agriculture, legisla tive, youth, community service, education, fire department and insurance. Mrs. Agnes Brown stated she would have nine graduates. The topic of the "litter bug was brought to our attention, as well as the subject ot llooa control on the Rogue river. A letter was read from the Pear Blossom Festival associa tion, thanking the Grange for our participation in their pa rade. Word has been received from Mr. and Mrs. Read McKay who are visiting in Phoenix, Ariz. The Grange voted a 4-14 sum mer scholarship. Mrs. Alyce Cross and Mrs. Sadie Vanderlip were presented with their bars for their pins. Refreshments were served by Mr. and Mrs. E. Stothers and Mr. and Mrs. C. Watson. 1 The lecturers program started out as a spelling match but was really on advertising as you hear it on the air. The lecturer read the description of the product while the contestant named the product. The next meeting will be May 22, when the Grange will hold an open house program. This will be a highway safety pro gram and will be put on by the Oregon State Highway commis sion with both pictures and speakers. This will be in the Shady Cove gym Wednesday, May 22, at 8 p.m. Delia A. Littlefield, Publicity Chairman. Mom will love to to msNE got ..on Mother's Day Sunday, May 12 There's real pleasure for her and all the family when you take her to dinner at the JACKSON HOTEL Dinner Served from Noon Till 8 p.m. Special Children's Plates The Pioneer Room Will be open for large 'family groups of them, however, and I always feel we are on the edge of a vol cano when anything verging on the political comes up. Tom says I should let him and my father "have it out for once and for all," but I'm afraid of creating bitterness between them. Just the same, we are very uncomfortable when we are with my parents because the things we really care about are censored out of our talk. ... Tom E. Joan's father is a good egg, but he is just about the most stubborn, ill-informed guy I've ever met. I would love to make just one small dent in his opinions. The trouble is that my father in-law has never had any real op position. His friends, of course, all share his beliefs. His family worships him. There are three daughters, in addition to Joan, and they all think Daddy is the greatest.1 They think exactly what he tells them to think. It certainly bothers me when Joan starts spouting her father's screwball politics. The girl hasn't a thought in her head that he hasn't put there. I've been trying to re-educate her, but the far thest I can get is to bring her to the point where she says she doesn't know what she thinks any more. She says she is con vinced when she's with me, but then when she sees her father alone, he tells her something en tirely opposite, and that sounds right to her too. Th Council: Joan seems to have married a man funda mentally very much like her father but with opposing opin ions. Tom appears to be every bit as dogmatic as his father-in-law. If Tom is determined to "make a dent" on his stubborn, ill-informed" father-in-law, he would do best to keep his mouth shut, even if it means sitting "on the edge of a volcano." This is better than plunging into the volcano. There can, however, be an en tirely different approach to po litical discussion. The objective can be not to make a convert, or even a dent, but simply to air problems and to deepen one's over-all understanding of events by giving serious thought to the formulations of the opposition. There is much to be said for those college debates in which students are required to speak for the side they oppose. If Tom can change his objec tive, he probably can gain much from discussion with his father-in-law and it would be' better than bottling up the things tbey really want to talk about. It would help if his father-in-law could agree to the same ap proach but, as the younger man, Tom should take the first step toward reasonable and respectful discussion. Despite considerable vidence to the contrary, it is pos sible to have strong, yet friendly disagreements' about politics. Joan is in a tough position, but she could become the saving fac tor in the situation. She should try to learn more on her own so that she does not have to spout either her father's or husband's pinions. She may be able to. help both of them toward less dogmatism even if neither modifies his views. ' (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)

Ike Said Outspending Ex-President Truman Portland '!U.R) The presi dent of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers says Pres ident Eisenhower's administra tion is outspending ex-President Harry Truman "who was called a wild spender even by his own party." I Ernest G. Swigert of Portland told a news conference Thurs day that "Eisenhower wants to. spend far more on welfare pro grams in a boom year than Tru man spent in the 1948-49 depres sion period, when there might have been more justification for such spending." Swigert said increased gov ernment spending "is simply building a -welfare state taking money away from the people to support the people."
