This was an undecided is sue over the week end and had resulted in a tie-up of Umatilla county employees' salaries. But after word was received from the tax com mission checks for salaries were prepared. A group of citizens filed a protest to the budget last week, leaving the legality question in doubt. District At torney Richard J. Courson said tax commission attorneys told him the 1959-60 budget was valid. , Coursen, however, said he doubted the wisdom of any major capital expenditures for the budget until, some final settlement is made. He indi cated the tax commission may hold hearing1; on a list of pro tests to the budget fled;by county residents. . The local group claimed the budget was prepared illegally and that changes had been made without the public's knowledge.

Of 33 1 participating in a Science Service Grand Jury on this subject, 'here was a virtually equal division on whether or not the universe started with a "big bang" several million years ago. To this question, 11 (33.3 per cent) voted "Yes," and' 12 (36.4 per cent) voted "No," while 10 (30.3 per cent) were counted p "Not Voting." Concerning the more re cent theory that matter is be ing continual!:' created and destroyed, opinion was more sharply divided among the 33. More than half of those responding, . 18, or 54.' ' per cent, said, they did not agree. Eight, or 24.2 per cent, replied they did believe matter is being continually created, and seven, or 21.2 per cent did not vote. Of the 33 experts, 23, or 69.7 per cent, showed high hopes that one or the other of these opposing theories would be proved right within the next 41 Vears, -vhilr three, or 9.1 per cent, thought they would never be solved. Sev en, or 21.2 per cent, did not vote. Concerning 1 specific year in the future voted on by 23, 14 or 42.5 per cent, were suf ficiently optimistic to predict that either the big bang . or the steady-state question would be solved bys1975, the other nine, or 27.2 per cent, holding out for the year 2000 A.D. One wrote in a forecast f - a solution within five years, as well as voting for 1975. Concerning the kind of ob servation most likely to give the answer to the problem, many of the astronomers and cosmologists responding to the poll chose more than one method. (Total percentages therefore equal more than 100 per cent.) Twenty, or 60.5 per cent, said observations of radio waves from far-distant objects would yield the an swer, while three, or 9.1 per cent, predicted th.- radio as tronomy would not provide a solution?. ' A telescope on a satellite would do he job in the opin ion of 11, or 33.3 per cent, although seve . or .21.2" per cent, held that it would not. An . earthbound telescope, either the 200-inch feiant atop Mr. Palomar or others or more than a 100-h ch aper ture, would give an nswer to the origin of the universe, 10 of the 33, or 30.3 per cent, believe. The lone astronomer who thought a telescope mounted from a balloon held the key was out-voted ten t one by his colleagues. y . Five astronomers, or 15.2 per cent, Jid not vote on the question of what kind of ob servation would be . most likely to prov'de a solution. Of the 61 scientists selected for the Grand Jury, 3C came from the U.S., two from Can ada, and 23 from foreign countries. Of those answer ing, 26 are U. S. sci mtists, two Canadian and five from foreign countries. Besides answering ques tions, the 33 astronomers polled were given a chance to make any comment they desired,- with assurances of anonymity for their remarks. Not all astronomers agreed Not Agree Poll Shows with the idea or a poll. . . One said, "I do not beliee that polls s ich as this one serve any useful scientific purpose and, in fact, are apt to be misle 'ding. I prefer, therefore, not to participate." Another, astronomer said that much of the "fun of as tronomical research" would be removed if a sure answer to the.questior of the origin of the universe were ever found. . One German astronomer remarked: "Of course, these answers are quite tentative and new observations as everywhere in science may completely overthrow some day our present ideas about the origin of 'he world 'as a whole.' More important than any s ecific answer is FJve-Ysar-dld Now Eating Solid Foods Pana, III. - (UPD - Karen Lee Gordon is eating her mother's home cooking these days-potatoes, meat! eggs and fruit. Not much of an accomplish ment for most five-year-olds. But Karen was born without an esophagus' and had to be fed through a tube in her stomach since she was three days old. . ', , . An operation two years ago permitted Ka en to start eat ing semi-liquid baby foods. But she still took most of her I nourishment through the "hat ed tube. Then came more operations. And finally at her fifth birth day party recendy, Karen was able to at cake and ice cream in her hospital room. She is home now, the ' operations have been- a success, and Kar en -is enjoying the taste of real food.' ' " the -fact that these problems have become accessible to scientific methods and scien tific judgment." A Netherlands astronomer said he thought the chief merit of the . theory of con tinuous creation is "to force the cosmologists to," realize the brittleress of all their influences from observation." CLOGSTON'S Metal Weather Stripping . and Screens Estimates Gladly 1 . Phone SP 3-1014 Evenings Halting Program Could Hurt Stales San Juan, Puerto Rico-flJPD-One bloc of governors agreed Tuesday that halting the in terstate highway program could jolt state budgets as iruch as or worse than the steel' strike by cutting state income and sales tax collections. This conclusion was reach ed at one of four panel dis cussions in which those at tending the present 51st gov ernors conference discussed tax headaches of the finan cially beleaguered states and agreed there was no relief in sight. In a panel headed by Gov. Robert E. Smylie of Idaho, the governors of lightly pop ulated states from Vermont to Nevada agreed that any threatened stoppage of the in terstate highway program would hurt. Congress is not buying Pres ident Eisenhower's request for a gasoline tax increase nor has it yet come up with an alternative acceptable to him. "I think it behooves us all to insist that Congress meet this issue and prevent a stop page of this program," Gov. George Deecy Clyde of Utah said. None of the governors call ed for a federal gasoline tax increase, however, and some complained that more federal taxes oh highway users should go into a highway trust fund which finances the federal share of road-building costs. Reporting later to the full conference, Smylie said the highway program stoppage raised the greatest current threat, worse than the steel strike, to the economy of the states in his panel. New York Man Buys 100-Year-Old Church South Danby, N.Y. -flJPlC-George Peter recently paid $675 for a church that dates back more than 100 years. Peter, who worshipped in the church as a child, bought the structure at a public sale when it appeared it would be torn down. The new owner, a technician at nearby Cor nell university, said he plans to paint and repair the church and let organizations in the area use it a? a meeting place.
