Canadian Pacific Firemen Return Montreal (IP) Canadian Pacific railway firemen re turned to their jobs today, ending their three-day strike. An agreement which made firemen obsolete on diesel lo comotives in freight and yard service was signed at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday night. Firemen hired- since April 1, 1956, will be laid off with a preference over new appli cants for other jobs with the railway. This affects 73 men. All other firemen, some '2,900, will retain their present jobs. The Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma are generally said by geologists to be the oldest surface formations in the United States. People of the United States normally consume about 100 million pounds of tea per year, or enough to make ap proximately 20 billion cups. The latest census shows the United Kingdom has a popu lation of 51,221,000. Nearly 42 million live in England. Law Governing Campaign Poster Use Challenged Portland OP) The state law that prohibits posting of political campaign posters on rocks and trees in Oregon was challenged here Tuesday by Joseph C. Hawkins, Demo cratic candidate for Multno mah county assessor. Hawkins said he believed the law was being misinter pretedm by state authorities. He said he has posted his signs only on trees with the explicit and written consent of the owners. Warning Issued State Labor Commissioner Norman O. Nilsen said Haw kins was warned about the practice two weeks ago "When illegal signs were still in evidence after another warning," Nilsen said, "my office followed the standard procedure of Teferring such matters to . the appropriate district attorney." Hawkins could be fined $25 for each poster placed in vio lation of the state law. Hawkins commented that "you could bankrupt your op ponent by going out on a dark night and posting an armful of his campaign pla cards." He said the law could keep him from posting his opinion on a tree in his own yard that that was a vio lation of the right of free speech. Johnston Sees Heed Of Liberal Trade New York (IP) Eric John ston warned Tuesday night that the United States will "strangle the free world's economy" if it fails to enact a liberal reciprocal trade bill. Johnston, president of the Motion Picture association of America and chairman of the bi-partisan committee for in ternational growth, said Rus sia "is sparing nothing to fashion and mold the weapons to fight" 'an economic war by which it hopes to take over the free world. He made his remarks in an address before the Foreign Trade Society and Propeller club of the College of the City of New York. An PEN To Voters from This campaign has been a wonderful experience for me because it has given me an opportunity to meet a great many people and to discuss their problems with them. I've found that many of the same problems affect us all either directly or indirectly. Everywhere I go people are thinking and talking about a sates tax to relieve property or income taxes, or both. They feel, that since our tourist industry is the 3rd largest in the State, Oregon is making a mistake in not asking out of state people to contribute to our economy, since we contribute practically every where we go outside Oregon. Also they feel thct our transient help, which takes thousands of dollars in wages every fall, should make a small contribution toward the government whose services they use. I've pointed out that unless a sales tax were drawn so that it actually would reduce our present taxes, it would not be desirable and that in the final analysis, it will be up to the people of Oregon to make that decision. ' In my visiting about I've talked to merchants who are struggling under a disadvantage because of their inventory tax, and to other business men who are worried about the probable increase in their unemployment compensation rates. I've talked to parents of school children who are concerned about what the new school district reorganization law will do to them, and to many others, whose problems are very real and very serious. It makes me even more keenly aware of the size of the responsibility I'm offering to shoulder in representing them. The bright note, of course, is that they all thjnk Oregon is a wonderful place to live and wouldn't exchange it for any other, but they'd like a few changes made. Naturally I'm not making big proimses about that I'll do when I get to Salem, but knowing the problems of Jackson County residents, which after all are pretty much the problems of Oregon generally, is going to help me a lot in working toward a healthier economy for the entire state.

Joyce Klutsenbeker, Reporter Order To Close Powell Case Denied New York OP) United States Attorney Paul W. Wil liams 'has denied he was in structed by the Department of Justice to "kill or close" the income tax investigation against Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (D.-N.Y.). Williams made his state ment Tuesday following the appearance before a federal grand jury of William F. Buckley, editor of the Na tional Review. Buckley, who was ques tioned about mailing copies of an article on the Powell case to the grand jury inves tigating Powell's taxes, has charged that the Powell inves tigation was suppressed by the Eisenhower administra tion as "most probably an act of political gratitude."

Silvers stayed for an hour in something he William Ewald called "Phil Silvers on Broadway" (sub title: "An Intimate Extrava gaza") and to pour down an opinion quickly, I would tab it one of the most stylish and civilized hours of the TV sea son. In a way, the Silvers show struck me as very much like a low comedy version of the Victor Borge show seen on CBS-TV earlier this season. Like Borge, Silvers concocted a visual meat that was strong on pace and snap and variety. Like Borge, Silvers was not in terested in parading a sloppy glob of "stars" on stage, but rather in turning out a show. A show it was. Three-Second Bits The hour was so replete with riches that Silvers could afford to toss away three-second bits that other shows might have lingered over: Sil vers quick-tinkling the piano keys ("Give my best to Vic tor"), Silvers (unreeling a smidgin of soft shoe, Silvers running down to his audience to talk to visitor Polly Ber gen) "I know you Emma or is it Emmy?" Inevitably, some of the bits were a little off the mark. For example, a sketch about ja camp director trying to con some parents into sending their boy away for the sum-' mer was a trifle in spots. And one routine in which Silvers got into a tangle of arms and legs with some stagehands had the shopworn air of an old burlesque bit and even worse, of an old TV bit. No Feeling of Let-Down . But the rhythm of the hour was so swift that there never was a feeling of severe let down for any extended per iod. The dancers pranced on fast and leggy, a 12-man choir boomed out a sentimen tal tune and walked off to reveal that five singers in the rear had no pants on, the sponsor's product took an amiable kidding, four mem bers of that Sgt. Bilko platoon appeared to aid in the clown ning. In particular, I enjoyed the Silvers' routine based on the first singer ever faced with the lyrics of "01' Man River." There were reports before the show that if this Silvers show were successful, Silvers might do a series of one-hour specs for CBS-TV next sea son. As one comedy-starved member of the TV audience, I hope the reports are true. Berle for Skellon Along with the Silvers' spe cial, another show made the night one of the best of the season. Milton Berle headed a group of other performers who took "over the CBS-TV "Red Skelton" show and then turned out an admirable half-hour. I liked particular ly Donald O'Connor and Sid Miller in their take-offs of Louis Prima and Keely Smith and'some of Berle's one-liners like "One great thing about this Los Angeles smog it hides the Dodgers." Wild Parly Brings Princeton Action Princeton, N.J. (IP) Thir teen students at Princeton university have been discip lined in connection with a re ported wild party in a dormi tory attended by two strip-teasers. Six of the students were expelled, four suspended and three placed on probation. All were seniors and juniors. Names of the students were not released. One of the performers was identified as Mrs. Judy Re- nee, of Philadelphia. The oth er was known only as "Bubbles." The state tree of New Mexi co is the gnarled pinon pine, which has wood too coarse and brittle for building pur poses. It is a fragrant fuel and grows pinon nuts which are a gourmet's delight.
