Senator Lowry, who represented Jackson county in 1955-1957 and 1958 sessions of the legislature, voted in favor of revision of the Oregon Constitution when it came before the legislature in 1955.

(IP) A group of 200 Stanford Univer sity students demonstrated to day to protest the continued testing of nuclear bombs. The students, acting as in dividuals, carried posters, dis tributed leaflets and urged fellow students to write their congressmen. Foreign students and sev eral faculty members indi cated they planned to join in the protest. Among male readers, ad- j vertising in newspapers has even greater readership than the sports pages. 1 IP id tip (Dun a iri The Russians may not like our capitalists or our state department, but they do seem to like our musicians. When an American cast went to Russia to play "Porgy and Bess" a few years back, the press reported that the production was a big hit. Last winter Blanche Thebom,- popular American opera star, gave a series of concerts in Russia and when she came home, reported that the reception the Russians gave her was very warm and applause heartier for the most part than she ever receives here in the United States. . But a young Texas pianist by the name of Van Cliburn topped this when he played in the international T'schaikov sky piano competition last week. The Russian audience gave him an eight-minute ovation at the end of his selection and demanded loudly that he be given the prize even though two. finalists had not yet played: But the -judges, headed by the famous Soviet pianist, Emil Gilels, did just that and the comments which followed, if one can believe the reports from many sources, was about as extravagant as a musician could receive. He was called a genius and a wizard; one Russian musician was quoted as saying "it was as though I was hearing the piano for the first time." INS said Cliburn displayed "dazzling technical skill and a robust emotional style." Even the great Khrushchev reportedly personally con gratulated young Cliburn and invited him to a party. . It seems a pity that the notes turned out by the President and the state department don't result in the same warmth in Moscow that the notes of the musicians do. Potpourri learned something new about, foreign aid last week while reading a copy of The Progressive. Chester Bowles, in an article entitled "What Foreign Aid Can and Cannot Do," analyzed this aid and said emphatically that most Americans do not know what his money has gone for in the past. "Each year the White House has presented a budget for 'foreign aid,' in the neighborhood of S4 billion," he wrote. "Most Americans have assumed that this money was largely earmarked for such down-to-earth essentials aS plows, DDT, fertilizer, pumps and other equipment necessary to help struggling new nations ease the pressures of poverty and create foundations for free societies. "But this is a misconception. Each year 80 per cent of our foreign aid program has gone directly or indirectly for military purposes. We have been spending close to a billion dollars annually, for instance, to maintain the South Korean army. This is about twice the annual cost of our entire global Point Four program. We have put $740 million into military aid to South Vietnam in two years. "A major share of the non-military aid, moreover, has been given to three nations, France, South Korea and Vietnam which together represent only four per cent of the peoples of" the underdeveloped world." Mr. Bowles began this highly interesting and informa tive article by saying that "Unless the economic misery of two-thirds of the world is eased, unless the gap between the white Western world and the colored majority of man kind begins gradually to be closed, the world will remain two regions, one of the rich, one of the poor, and each increasingly antagonistic to the other. "Only as this economic gap diminishes will there be orderly political growth in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and only with such growth can we expect the Soviet Union someday to abandon its global ambitions and to negotiate soberly and in good faith for the creation of a meaningful peace." Later he said "Economic aid is not charity. It is essential ly a tax on free men everywhere, naturally bearing most heavily on the richest nation on earth, to promote the general welfare of the world community as a primary requirement of peace. . ' "Out of every federal tax dollar that we paid in 1957, 80 cents went for the cost of past wars or preparation for possible future wars. The kind of constructive non-military economic aid program? that I believe are required would amount to much less than one per cent of our annual national output. In 1958 the Soviet Union is spending twice as much as we are on such programs not including the sizeable aid she is giving China. "The necessary American investment in the cause of peace is infinitesimal when we compare it with the incalcul able cost of war. It should be provided largely on a loan basis, payable in large part in local currencies. Most of it can be secured by cutting down some of our more wasteful military aid grants, many of which have opened up such tempting political opportunities for the Kremlin." Potpourri ran back and forth, up and down and in and out Wednesday afternoon; we got muddy and wet, tore a new hair net, wore a hole in one sock and when the job was done, looked and felt like a wreck. But it was really fun, for we were gardening. There were pansies and violas and prim roses and snapdragons to be planted. There was spading and raking and pruning, and water to be poured on the new rose bushes. Other creatures were busy, too. The bees hummed away on the big golden clusters of Oregon grape blossoms, and the finches flew back and forth with bits of material for a nest. Every year Mr. and Mrs. Finch try to build a nest under the little roof over the back steps, and every year we have to discourage them and hope that they will set up housekeeping nearby, and not desert us entirely. There was a pause to greet, two neighbors, out for an afternoon stroll, and to hear the wonderful news. Not to be outdone by the swiftly growing grass, the budding flowers and the busy bees, baby Denise ' produced her first tooth.

Spring Brings Conventions And Stage Fright Seizures By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor Chapel Hill, N.C. (IP) It is high time the researchers worked a cure for a disease which hits many of us this time of the year. . It is stage fright, an infec tion almost as virulent as spring fever. For now is the season for conventions, with every group from the local garden club to the national Daughters of the American Revolution confer ring. Conventions call for speeches. That is why I came to this beautiful college cam pus to show off my oratory. The North Carolina Women's Institute, a lively organiza tion of newspaper women from . all parts of the state, asked me to talk to them at their spring meeting. Nothing is so flattering as being asked to make a speech. Nor, so frightening. The stage fright virus at tacks me from the first day I say, "Sure, I'd be delighted to talk." This may be two or three months before speech time. The first attacks are comparatively mild, but they grow more intense as I start planning what to say and then remember "what others have said about speech makers. For instance. Speeches can not be long enough for the speakers, or short enough for the hearers. Or, what Will Rogers once observed, after one orator had ended his talk, "Gentlemen, you have just listened to that Chines sage, 'On Too Long'." Some Help But large doses of reading from books on how to win friends and influence people from the podium help tempo rarily. So does remembering from a college course that public speaking is just like conversation with friends. Only you're having conversa tion with an audience. Writing down what I plan to say also alleviates, until I remember a story- the late Sen. Alben W. Barkley once told. He had used a manu script, instead of notes, for a talk. After he sat down, he turned to a friend and asked, "What do you think of it? The answer, "Well, I have only three criticisms. First, you read it. Second, you read it poorly. Third, it wasn't worth reading." This sort of battle with one's self goes on until the hour before time for the talk, and then the panic really sets in. Symptoms here are clam my palms, a thumping heart, shaky limbs, and the question, . trill I" cola with both . . I "'What in the world got me into this anyway? The banquet feast of roast beef with all the trimmin's goes untouched. Then the ! toastmistress starts the intro-; duction, and suddenly the floor is yours. Stand still. Look at the audience. Take a few deep ( breaths," say the speech man-; uals. "This tempers your ex-' citement." I got news for the manuals. ! it does not. ine paims are still perspiring, the knees sounding like castanets. But there you are, with a sea of faces in front of you, all of them attentive. The first sen tence gets out somehow. Then the second, and pretty soon you're full speed ahead. And surprise! They're actually lis tening. Limbs stop vibrating like leaves in a breeze, the moisture on the palms dries. Suddenly it's all over and you sit down. That wasn't so bad after all. Truth is, I rather enjoyed be ing up there. And the applause was flatteringly long. Yep, the ham in me has taken over. I just might ac cept another speaking engage ment, if somebody asks me. Girl Scouts Discuss Trip Mothers of Troop 158 of McLoughlin Junior High school met recently to discuss the troop's future trip to Dis neyland. Discussion was held on clothes to be worn on the trip.
