ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington If Congress andor the Eisenhower ad- should decide that a stepped up public works pro gram is the best stimulant to revive the nation's econ omy this year, there are a host of pro jects now pending which could be usefully undertaken without embarking on a mass make-work or leaf raking pro gram.

Members of Congress from both parties are talking more willingly these days of using puoiic worKS spending to ar rest the climb in unemploy ment, even the Republican congressional leaders whose conservative leanings are well known. After the GOP leaders had been to the White House this week for their reg ularly weekly strategy talks, they allowed as how they might find it necessary to join the Democrats in backing a public works program. The fact that this is an elec tion year is not altogether an unrelated factor in Washing ton thinking. Is That So? y EUGENE BURNS Ranjer-Naturaliit Sleepwalking, with its handmaidens sleep - talking and sleep-working, is among man's most baffling aberrations.

When roused from this state, usually "with difficulty, he remembers next tto no thing of what occurred. Yet, when he goes back; to sleep he may resume his unusual behavior from where he left off. In this state, between wak ing and sleeping, the person may be compared to an auto whose motor is running but whose headlights, horn and other component parts aren't hooked up. Everything need ed to move is in gear, able to go, but the ' higher con sciouseness which governs the senses is disengaged. A growing number of auth orities believe that sleep walking is a dream acted out a dream . of such potency and clarity that it stimulates some portions of the brain to action. Mostly, only the musc ular system is activated. . . but should some of the other senses be sufficiently stimul ated, they too may waken and go to work as happens with sleep-talkers, and sleep-workers. Ability Remains Same Although sleepwalkers are frequently credited- with "death-defying deeds" entail ing super extraordinary ex ploits, the truth is that the sleepwalker's physical ability remains exactly the same asleep or awake. It is only that the curbing controls call it good sense, caution or cowardice may be asleep. With these controls released the subject may conceivably do a hand-stand on a high wire. But only when he can do handstand when awake. As for walking on a roof ridge, the subject can do that when awake fear removed. If possible, the sleepwalker should be approached" by someone whose voice he knows well, states Phyllis Rosenteur in Morpheus and Me. Before touching him, that person should announce his presence in a 'natural, normal tone, then attempt to Jead the sleeper back to bed; this feat often can be accomplished without arousing him at all.

Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) to establish a Pub lic Works Administration to launch a half billion dollar program of public improve ments, including construction and repair of sidewalks, parks, recreation facilities, health and rehabilitation cen ters, water and sewer facil ities, public buildings, high ways, public schools, airports, river and harbor improve ments, land or water or tim ber conservative facilities, flood control or navigation or hydroelectric facilities. . The administration has of fered to start a $2,000,000, 000 'post office construction program, which would include a postal annex for Portland, if Congress will increase the first class postage rate to a nickel. Taking note of these pro posals for new public works programs, Sen. Dennis Chavez (D-N.Mex.), chairman of the Senate Public Works Commit tee, pulled together all the major existing programs which could be- stepped up. They included the river and Harbor and dam building work of the Corps of En gineers, the watershed de velopment work of the De partment of Agriculture, fed eral building program of Gen eral Services Administration, the sewage treatment and water pollution- control pro gram of the Public Healthh Service, and the irrigation development of the Bureau of Reclamation. Will Take Many Months Chavez pointed out that new programs will . take many months to get started, at the earliest, but .that existing pro grams could be implemented much sooner. ThePresident has it with in his power to proceed . this very day with many -of the projects I have mentioned," Chavez told the Senate the other day. "Are we in favor of putting people to work, or do we wish merely to talk about it?" Of the Army Engineers pro jects currently underway in Oregon, Chavez said it would take $192,101,000 to complete them. Counting the projects authorized by Congress but not yet started, he said it would bring the total amount that could be spent in the state to $359,626,000. The active program of the Bureau of Reclamation, said Chavez, requires $16,100,000 to complete. A group of watershed pro jects could usefully take $7,- 665,695 over the next several years. Federal approval has been granted to 19 Oregon water supply or pollution con trol projects, with estimated total cost of $4,423,061, of which the government would put up $1,079,382. Others are being processed. Plenty of carefully . pro grammed work could be done, if Washington is willing. What Is The Law? This column is prepared as a public service by the College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. That Checic Can Be a Bandit Tom Fool owed his tailor S75. He had just received a S50 check payable to his or- tier; and before going to the tailor's shop to settle his ac count, Tom endorsed the check and also- drew a $25 check payable to "Cash" to cover the balance' of the bill En route to pay his bill, Tom lost both checks. Slick Kerr fojind the checks and gave them to Will Dew in payment for a shot gun.. Will knew nothing of Tom's loss at the time he took the checks, although Tom soon discovered the transac tion. Tom Fool Takes the Loss Can Tom compel Will to return the checks- Much to Tom's surprise, his lawyer in forms him that he has lost the $75. When Tom endorsed his $50 check, he made it nego tiable through delivery alone by anyone. Thus, when Slick delivered this check to Will, who took it for value, in good faith, Will became the legal owner of the check. As a re sult, Tom cannot recover the check from Will, nor can he Grange News Live Oak Grange Several reports were given at ithe last meeting. Ray Frautz Teported egg prices still low, mediums ' dropping 3 cents the past week; hog prices up; beef also advanced; lamb prices were steady. Larry Sheehan reviewed some of the bills on agricul ture passed by the last legis lature. Joe Golding, chairman of building committee, ask ed that a runway from the back porch be made safe for rainy weather. Foster Luce, newly elected member of the flood, control board gave re port of the last meeting. He said more people are now in terested in the project. Good of the order commit tee suggested the Grange do more community service work and have educational and rec reational programs before Grange. Theda Stiehl, HEC chair man, said the dinner given for the Southern Oregon Credit association was quite successful. Master Carl Christenson ap pointed Henry Corbin as bus iness agent. During the lec ture hour there were songs by the Grange in keeping with Valentine's day. This be ing Boy Scout week, organ ization of Boy Scouts was given by Carl Christenson.

Serv ing refreshments were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Weaver and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Sheehan. demand that his employer give him another pay check for $50. The rule is the same as that which would be applied if Tom had lost a $50 bill and Slick, the finder, had given it to Will for the gun. The rule cuts off Tom's legal title to the check just as it would cut off his right to any S50 bill he had lost. To protect himself, Tom should not have endorsed his pay check until he was ready to give it to his tailor. Had Tom not endorsed the check, he could compel Will to re turn the check because the check was payable only to him. Tom could also have prevented the loss if he had written "Pay to Tailor Brown" above the endorse ment. By doing so, the check could not be negotiated with out Tailor Brown's signature. Checks made payable to "Cash" like checks endorsed with the payee's signature, are almost equivalent to cash. They can be negotiated with out endorsement. Hence, Will became the legal owner of the $25 check when he took it in good faith, for value; and as a result Tom, cannot recov er this check from Will. Tom should have drawn the check payable to the or der of Tailor Brown, for then there could be no valid trans fer without Tailor Brown's endorsement. Checks should be drawn to "Cash" only im mediately before they are to be negotiated. March To See End Of Historic Trek McMurdo Sound, Antarcti ca (IP) The commander of nearby Scott Base predicted Saturday that British explor er Dr. Vivian Fuchs would complete .his historic trek across the Antarctic contin ent during the first week in March. Squadron Leader Jo h n Claydon, a New Zealander, said that with " luck Fuchs could make it by March 1. The 13-man British expedi tion radioed early Saturday it had covered 25 miles during the past 24 hours and still had 80 miles to go to reach the next supply station, Pla teau Depot. The plateau is only 10 fly ing miles from' Scott Base, but Fuchs and his expedition will travel 280 miles in a circuit ous route down Skeleton Neve and Skeleton Glacier to reach McMurdo Sound. Fuchs said he had made his first navigational sun fix in several days and discov ered that his previous esti mates of his distance from the plateau depot were in error. He said there was no chance he would reach the station today, but might make j it tomorrow. ' 441 CLUB NEWS Kooking Kays We held a meeting Feb. 20. We had demonstrations on soup.
