'"In the field of housing, the United States has set an all-time world record with the construc tion of more than 12 million homes in 12 years." he said.

Fir SP 2-6273 DAVIS IN ASHLAND 240 4th MU 2-8552 s calls, according to Congressional Quarterly's annual analysis of Party Unity voting. That's slightly below the par tisanship level of election year 1956. when 50 per cent of the roll calls produced splits be tween the parties. But it is well above the 35 per cent figure for partisan roll calls in the last non-election year, 1955. The Democrats, with majori ties in both House and Senate, won 60 of 97 tests that pitted a majority of one party against a majority of the other in 1957. Their two-seat advantage in the Senate gave them 20 wins in 37 tries in that chamber. With a 32-seat edge in the House, they won 39 of 60 partisan show downs. Party splits, individual defec tions and absences were re sponsible for the Democrats los ing on the other test votes. The same factors also cost the Re publicans some victories. Local Scores The average Republican Sena tor backed his party's stand on these partisan roll calls 69 per cent of the time and opposed it 16 per cent of the time. The average Senate Democrat sup ported his party's side of the argument 66 per cent of the time and opposed it 18 per cent of the time. Absences accounted for the remaining votes. Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D) backed his party's stand on 74 per cent of the test roll calls, and opposed it on 11 per cent. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D) voted with his party's majority 68 per cent of the time and against it 29 per cent of the time. In the House, the average Re publican backed the party stand on 67 per cent of the partisan roll calls and opposed it on 22 per cent. For the average Demo cratic Representative, the figures were 70 per cent Support and 19 per cent Opposition. Rep. Charles O. Porter (D) voted with his party's majority 81 per cent of the time and op posed it 3 per cent of the time on 1957's partisan roll calls. The most consistent support for the party positions came from the Midwest Republicans and western Democrats. Those most often opposed to their party's stands were the eastern Republicans and southern Demo crats. Knowland Lists Major UN Defects New York (IP Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif .), said Tuesday night there are four "major defects" that could de stroy the United Nations. Knowland also told the feder ation of Jewish Philanthropies, the UN might be better off with out Russia. He listed the four "major de fects" in the UN as: "Abuse of the veto by the Soviet Union." A "double standard" of in ternational morality, with the free world working under one standard and the Communists another. An increasing trend toward bloc voting in the UN. Unwillingness of many of the 81 member nations to share equitably the cost of operating the UN while demanding an equal voice in its decisions. NEGRO BISHOP DIES Cleveland OR The Right Rev. Edward T.

Nixon "set the record straight" about Sputnik last night in an effort to counter act "loose talk" that the Soviet satellite had changed the bal ance of military power from West to East. 'Militarily, the Soviet Union is not one bit stronger than it was before the satellite was launched," Nixon said in an ad dress before the International Industrial Development confer ence, representing 57 nations. Free World Stronger 'The free world remains stronger militarily than the Communist world," he said. "And we can meet and defeat any potential enemy who might dare to launch an attack." However, the vice-president warned that the Russian satellite should not be dismissed as a mere scientific stunt. "We have had a grim and timely reminder of a truth we must never overlook that the Soviet Union has developed a scientific and industrial capac ity of great magnitude," he said. Nixon said the free world could not pin its hopes for sur vival on present military super iority, but must forge ahead on military, economic and moral fronts. Military Takes Priority He said that: Maintenance of military su periority "must always take pri ority over the understandable de sire to reduce our taxes." American industry should double or triple its current rate ; of $4 billion in investments j abroad over the next 10 years. The reciprocal trade law, which expires next June 30, should be extended for five years, in place of the one-to-three j year renewals which Congress voted in the past. . i University Observes Second Charter Day Eugene UP) Second annual Charter Day observance's were held at the University of Oregon here today.

BlUE-WHJTg, JEI-GRBC Pre-Christmas Luggage Repairing Luggage Covers Chain of Weather Stations To Aid Farmers Suggested Washington fW An Iowa State College scientist has sug gested establishing a chain of agricultural weather stations to provide forecasts better suited to the needs of farmers. Weather information current ly is tailored more closely to the needs of aviation "which has been the greatest user of weather forecasting in the past," Dr. R. H. Shaw said Tuesday at a meet ing of the Agricultural Research Institute. Ground-Level Reports Needed Shaw said farmers, for ex ample, need temperature reports taken at ground level where crops grow "instead of on top of a three or four story building." Farmers also need wind speed reports taken at ground level he said. The Iowa scientist said the proposed agricultural weather stations should record radiation, air temperatures, soil tempera tures, humidity, winds, rain, dew duration, evaporation and soil moisture. Dean M. M. Kelso of the Mon tana Agricultural Experiment Station, another participant in a panel discussion on climate and agriculture at the meeting, said the field was "largely un developed." Four Stations Proposed Kelso proposed building about four regional research sta tions across the nation to make basic studies of the effect of climate on plant growth. Each station, built at a cost of about $1 million, would be equipped with climate control chambers. Kelso said scientists know so little about this subject now that "even if we knew how to pre dict and control weather perfect ly we still haven't answered the problem, because we don't know what factors to predict and control." WRONG-WAY WEATHERMAN Denver (IP) Conrad J. Wea therwax, 51, of Lisco, Neb., paid a $15 municipal court fine Tues day for making a wrong turn up a one-way street. In the after noon, Weatherwax was in court again. He paid $25 for a wrong turn on another one-way street. "It's just not my day," the mo torist said. "All I want to do is get out of here and back to Lisco." amsonite 6 Streamlite Train Case REGULARLY $17.50 GREY, RED - WHIT!, Special. . . Buy Now and Save 177 n r Wednesday October 16, 1957 Commentator Files $150,000 Lawsuit Washington IP Radio com mentator Fulton Lewis Jr., said he has filed a S150.000 counter suit against a former Washing ton state official who sought damages from him in connection with a 1956 broadcast. Lewis identified the ex-official as Mrs. Peal A. Wanamaker, former Washington state educa tion director. The commentator conceded he erroneously identi fied Mrs. Wanamaker in connec tion with a state investigation but said he apologized on a later broadcast. He added, however, that Mrs. Wanamaker subsequently "filed 17 duplicating suits involving 30 radio stations" in various parts of the country. He said seven of the suits were withdrawn be fore a trial date could be set. In his counter suit filed in fed eral district court Tuesday, Lewis contended the suits were brought "as part of a malicious scheme to harrass, injure and humiliate" the commentator. He said there was "no purpose or in tent on the part of the plaintiff ever to bring such action to trial."
