Portland's bus crisis was over today, at least for the time being. The Portland city council which Commissioner Ormond R. Bean changing his mind. voted unanimously late Thursday to grant Rose City Transit Company a fare boost, Thus a threat by RCT to halt city bus service Feb. 28 ended. Fares will go from 20 cents to 25 cents a ride, or two rides for 45 cents. The in crease probably will go into effect at 2 a.m. Sunday. Bean's vote approving the emergency ordinance came after he twice had refused to go along with other council- men on the measure. He said a call from the wife of a bus driver, who said her husband would be out of work, helped him make his decision. The woman said they had five children and it would not be easy to find another job. But Bean said he still be lieved the wrong path was taken. "There are going to be a great many disappointed people over my surrender be-, cause they felt, as I do, that something should be done, but I can not do it alone." The city council recently granted RCT a fare increase, but then rescinded it after Public Utility Commissioner Howard Morgan said the PUC had a right of review of any fare increase. Morgan said Thursday night he would not take action to upset the latest council decision. Portland Hay, Grain Portland Wholesale Hay Price New crop. No. 2 green alfalfa baled f.o.b. Portland.

B Paul Robeson returns to the concert stage here Sunday after a 10-year absence dur ing which the Negro basso fought in the political arena in support of pro-Communist causes. Robeson will be featured In a concert in honor of Negro History Week at the Oakland Auditorium Theater. It is one of the few times in recent years that he has been per mitted to sing a concert in a municipal auditorium. But Robeson, 6 feet, ii inches and 255 pounds, de fiantly insisted that "my po litical opinions are still as they were." The 59-year-old onetime All-America football player and Phi Beta Kappa has been an ardent admirer of Russia and other Communist coun tries since the middle 30s when he enrolled his son, Paul Jr., in a Moscow school. Still Favors Socialism . "I'm very proud of my politics, of having fought in the interests of labor, the Negro and peace," Robeson said. "I believe very deeply that socialism is the answer to poverty." i - So far there has been little j to indicate that Robeson's ap pearance will touch off any thing like the riots of August and September, 1949, when he addressed meetings in Peekskill, N.Y. A threat to picket the theater if Robeson sings was issued by Sam K. Cook Jr., who identified himself as na tional director of the Western Nationalist Crusade. He said the organization has 100,000 members and adherents in the United States and Canada. J Cook complained to Oak- land City Manager Wayne Thompson Thursday that Robeson should not be allow ed to sing in the city-owned auditorium. Hawaii's Mount Waialeale is probably the world's rain iest spot. Waialeale's annual rainfall averages 489 inches. In a recent year, 624 inches poured down.
