ONE OF" THOSE OIL billionaires made it inside the Pearly
Gates and was astounded to discover there wasn't a
sizeable choir in all Heaven. He buttonholed Saint Peter on
the double and boomed.
"Let's organize the daw
gone biggest choir of all
time! I propose we round
up 1,000 sopranos, 1,000
tenors, 1,000 contraltos, and
1,000 baritones."
"Sounds impressive," al
lowed Saint Peter, "but
what about bassos?"
"Oh," said the billionaire.
Til sing bass myself."
A racetrack addict finally
moaned to a pal. "I'm through

of them obnoxious. I can't even stand looking at a carousel any

Comment
GUILTY PLEAS
WIND UP OLD CASES ,
One of the most dastardly
crimes in Oregon history oc
curred in 1923 when three
D'Autremont brothers held
up a Southern Pacific train
near Ashland in an attempt
at robbery of the mails. The
strongbox in the mail car was
dynamited. Killed by the rob
bers were four trainmen and
a railway postal clerk. The
men were not apprehended
ior several years. After con
viction on one murder charge
they agreed to spend the re-
. mainder of their natural lives
in prison with the under
standing that the remaining
Indictments would not be pro
secuted. In the more than 30 years
that have passed efforts to ob
tain a commutation h.ve been
resisted by the postal authori
ties who held over the heads
of the D'Autremonts the re
maining indictments. Special
consideration has been urged
for Hugh, the youngest of the
brothers. Evidently in an at
tempt to clear up the slate so
he might get out of prison
Hugh appeared in Jackson
County Court Monday and
plead guilty to two murder
charges and to a charge of
stopping a mail train for pur
pose of robbery. He was sen
tenced to life terms for the
murders and to 20 years in
prison for the train stopping
charge, sentences to be con
current. Three other murder
charges were dismissed by
Judge Hanna on recommenda
tion of the district attorney.
This clears the state record
of pending charges against
Hugh. Remaining, however,
are some federal charges; and
unless the postal authorities
have changed their minds
those charges will be pressed
if Hugh is released from pri
son. They have regarded this
crime as one of the worst in
te annals of the postal
service.
In spite of this Hugh is en
titled to consideration for re
lease from state prison. He
has been an exemplary pris
oner and appears to have
made a good rehabilitation.
He works in the print shop
and edits the prisoners maga
zine "Shadows." The recent
release of Nathan Leopold in
Illinois for crime more
heinous in its inception offers
a precedent for the release of
Hugh D'Autremont.
Reform and not revenge is
the purpose of imprisonment.
Hugh D'Autremont is entitled
to have his case reviewed the
same as those of other pris
oners. Oregon Statesman, Salem
that .sale of stocks by long
distance telephone has been
actively pushed in this area
One such transaction in
volved the sale of $80 in Ca
nadian mining stock some
months ago. A second call by
the same promoter regarding
additional stock was brought
to the attention of the State
Corporation commission
Salem, McNeil reported.
Securities Law
Under the securities law,
all persons engaged in solicit
ing sale of securities in Ore
gon must first be licensed
with the corporation commis
sion, he said. The license re
quires a $5,000 bond.
Precautions against such
selling were advised by the
chamber. Persons should be
particularly suspicious of any
bulletins on securities sug
gesting their names were rec-
ommended by a friend;
should not be overanxious to
complete any such business
transaction; should check
with local banks or brokers
on stocks and bonds; and
should call the chamber of
commerce with information
regarding the company's
name, address and other data.
Laborifes Fail
To Block Defense
London (IP) The Laborite
opposition, once again
plagued by "revolt" within its
own ranks, failed Thursday
night in a Parliamentary at
tempt to block the govern
ment's plans for H-bomb and
missile defense.
The House of Commons ap
proved thj government's de
fense policy by a vote of 317
to 261, alter defeatmg a
Laborite censure amendment
318 to 263.
The two-day defense debate
that led up to the votes re
vealed the existence of a new
revolt against the moderate
Laborite leadership by ex
treme leftists who support
Russia's demand for an im
mediate ban on the H-bomb.
Emanuel Shinwell, who was
defense minister in Britain's
last Laborite government, de
voted much of his speech in
the debate Thursday to an ef
fort to convince the leftists
that Britain cannot abandon
the H-bomb.
In Washington the other
day there was a big bi-partisan
rally in support of foreign aid.
In the day-long session, Pres
ident Eisenhower spoke
Former President Truman
spoke. Vice-President Nixon
spoke. Adlai Stevenson spoke,
All of them were FOR it.
President Eisenhower was
particularly emphatic. In his
speech, he charged that criti
cism of foreign aid is based
on prejudices, penny -wise
economy and a refusal to face
facts.
rpHE next morning a group
-- of Democratic congres
sional leaders said President
Eisenhower's request for four
billion dollars in foreign aid
WILL NOT be approved.
These leaders, as quoted by
the reporters, add that the
bie foreign aid to-do won't
change a single vote in the
congress.
IirHY not?
George Marder of Unit
ed Press, in a Washington dis
patch, offers an interesting
and probably highly signifi
cant explanation. He 'says:
"The lawmakers don't hear
any great demand from tax
payers to spend for foreign
aid. . .In their mail from their
home districts, they get a lot
of COMPLAINT about foreign
aid spending. . .The lawmak
ers, who are much closer to
the voters than the , officials
in the executive department,
react as they think their con
stituents want them to."
"VfR. MARDER adds:
1TX "These lawmakers take
the position that we can't buy
loyalty or friendship with
dollars.
"Furthermore, almost eve
ry investigation has come up
with reports indicating waste
varying from minor inci
dents to major snafus."

N RECENT months, I have
talked with two people
who are familiar with grass
roots sentiment in India,
where we have spent a lot of
money for aid, particularly
agricultural aid. One of them
(a YMCA foreign service sec
retary on leave) says:
In general, our agricultur
al people in India are capable.
But they are VERY well paid
according to Indian standards.
They get as high as $14,000 a
year, and on this, because of
India's low wages and low
living costs, they manage to
live very well indeecL In a
country whose agricultural
earnings are less than $100
PER YEAR per person, you
can imagine that this situa
tion stirs up a lot of jealousy
and ill will."
THE other, who was born
and educated in India, put
it this way:
"In India, the average farm
is fabulously minute in size
not much bigger than an
American garden patch. Our
agricultural people are TRAC
TOR MINDED. Imagine using
a tractor on a farm no bigger
than a city lot.
"Our agricultural advisers
are strong for steel plows and
scornful of the Indian's crook
ed stick drawn by a buffalo.
But consider this: When the
Indian farmer comes to the
end of the row on his postage-stamp-size
field, he puts his
crooked stick on his shoulder.
turns his baffalo around and
then puts his crooked stick
back in the ground and plows
another little furrow. Try to
imagine putting an American
steel plow on your shoulder
and turning it around in that
manner.
"Naturally, the Indian
farmers are scornful of the
people we send there to help
them. Their scorn leads on to
RESENTMENT."
These are some of the sna
fus turned un by investiea
tions of our foreign aid.
Road Commission
Calls for Bids on
Yellow Paint Supply
Portland (IP) Oregon has
asked for bids for a year's
supply of yellow paint for
lines down the 'middle of its
highways but white lines
probably are coming back
State Highway Engineer W,
C. Williams said at a meet
ing of the State Highway
Commission Thursday that the
Bureau of Public Roads has
decreed all interstate high
ways must be marked m
white. He said all states but
Oregon have concurred,
Oregon switched to white
lines a few years back but
then changed back to yellow
after complaints from motor
ists.
Low Route Favored
In other business, the Com
mission said it favored a "low
level" or waterfront route for
the Willamette River East
Bank Freeway section of the
federal interstate highway
through Portland, rather than
a more expensive eievatea
structure.
Williams said permission
had been received from Army
engineers to dredge the chan
nel along the route followed
by the Commission ferry
Merle R. Chessman across the
Columbia river between As
toria and Megler. He said the
job would cost about $25,000
The Commission said it
could not grant a request to
beautify the new route of U.S
101 as asked by the Cannon
Beach Commercial club, but
that it would have its experts
render advice if the commun
ity wanted to do the $10,500
job.
Deschutes Request Denied
A Deschutes county request
that the Commission share on
50-50 basis in the removal
of snow on the Cascade Lake
secondary highway ' between
Bend and the Bachelor Butte
ski area was denied on
grounds that other similar re
auests have been refused.

Several Plywood
Mills Close Down
By UNITED PRESS
Several Oregon plywood
mills planned temporary shut
downs this week end because
of the depressed market.
Some mills said ' they
planned to re-open in a week
or 10 days and others when
market conditions improve.
One example of the shut
down was the Pacific Plywood
plant at Dillard in Southern
Douglas county which affects
150 men. Other plants shutting
down or planning to shut i
down are located in Grants
Pass, Milwaukie, ' Swisshome,
Medford and Crescent City,
Calif.
The price of plywood has
dropped to $64 a thousand
square feet which represents
a drop of $8 since Jan. 1 on
the Vz inch AD index grade.

Hoover Calls for
Tax, Spending Cut
New York (IP) F ormeri
President Herbert Hoover
Thursday night called for a
tax cut and reduced govern
ment spending as "the great
est possible stimulant to re
covery" from the current re
cession. '
But he warned that a tax
reduction without a corres
ponding cut in government
spending would "poison" the
nation with more inflation.
He said such a proposal, was
an "opiate drug" that "should
be resisted with horror."
In an effort to end the cur-1
rent business and employment 1
slump, Hoover also called for
a moratorium on wage and
price increases. But he said
the most useful of the eco
nomic wonder drugs" was the
elimination of waste and the 1
reduction of nonessential fed
eral spending until the nation
has a balanced budget.
