Salem -(UPD-The governor's

Gov. Mark Hatfield has failed

Queen's Decision
On Surname Irks
British Press
London (UPD Queen Eliza
beth's sentimental decision to
attach her husband's adopted
German surname to that of
the House of Windsor was
openly criticized in the Bri
tish press today.
In a front-page editorial,
the Daily Mirror said the
Queen's announcement, on
the eve of her third child's
birth, to perpetuate Prince
Philip's adopted surname of
Mountbatten "will not be
applauded by the British
people.
The Queen announced from
Buckingham Palace Monday
night that all her descendants
who will not be either a royal
prince or princess will bear
the name Mountbatten-
Windsor.
Name for Grandsons
This means that the first
royal descendants to use the
new title insead of the pres
ent family name of Windsor
probably will be the second
grandson of Prince Charles,
now 11, and the grandsons of
any other son the Queen may
have.
All of London's newspapers
except the Times emphasized
the Germanic origins of the
Mountbatten name, which
Philip got from his mother's
side. It was Anglicized in
World War I, when Philip's
grandfather. Prince Louis of
Battenberg, lost his position
as Britain's first sea lord be
cause of anti-German feeling.
Battenberg became Mount
batten.
The Queen's own family
changed its house name from
Wettin to Windsor in 1917 in
order to cut connections with
German royalty.

Interests in
Steamship Firms
Washington-flJPD Former
Oregon State Treasurer Sig
Unander said Monday he
held no interests whatsoever
in any steamship" firm.
Unander, who recently was
named to the Federal Mari
time Board, was questioned
by Sen. Bob Bartlett (D-Alas-ka),
a member of the Senate

complete satisfaction in this

Romances Spotlight
Finch Murder Trial
Los Angeles (UPD Dr. R.
Bernard Finch, who has ad
mitted being intimate with at
least three women prior to
the slaying of his estranged
wife, today faces prosecution
cross-examination about the
details of how he killed Mrs.
Barbara Jean Finch.
. It was romance day at the
sensational murder trial Mon
day and Finch took the occa
sion to wittily characterize
himself as a sophisticated
man of the world.
The spectators liked his
wise-cracks about his intima
cies with two married women
and a divorcee, but whether
the jury felt the same ap
preciation remained to be
seen. ,
Mrs. X, Mrs. Y
The 42 year-old doctor went
into detail about his love af
fair with Carole Tregoff, 23,
his red - haired co-defendant
for the murder of Barbara
Jean, 36, at the luxurious
West Covina home of the
Finches last July 18.
Finch admitted without an
outward trace of embarrass
ment previous love affairs
with two other women, iden
tified as Mrs. X and Mrs. Y,
beginning in 1953. The point
made by prosecutor Fred N.
Whichello was that, at one
time, Finch was cheating both
on his wife and a mistress in
behalf of Carole.

Eisenhower Likes Benson's Wheat Plan
(Continued from Page 1)
Eisenhower dealt mainly
with the problem of solving
the wheat surplus. He said he
prefers the plan drafted by
Agriculture Secretary Ezra
T. Benson to reduce wheat
supports and eliminate pro
duction controls. But he said
he would accept whatever
"constructive" plan Congress
enacts.
"Whatever the legislative
approach- . . it must be sen
sible and economically sound,
and not a political poultice,"
Eisenhower declared.
Wanls Quick Action
The President, said quick
action is necessary , "to avoid
visiting havoc upon the very
people this program is intend
ed to help." -,
Pointing out that the gov
ernment is spending $1,500,-
000 each day $1,000 every
minute to stabilize wheat
prices . alone, the President
said unless . constructive ac
tion is taken promptly "the
danger is very real that this
entire program will' collapse
under the .jressure of public
indignation."
The framework Eisenhower
laid out for a compromise
wheat bill appeared broad
enough to cover production
curbing plans which the ad
ministration rejected last year
in its effort to push the Ben
son program.
Message Held Up
The message, which had
been scheduled to reach Con
gress last week, had been
held up for llth-hour confer
ences with GOP wheat belt
senators. The administration's
willingness to accept "alter
native" wheat plans was be
lieved to be due, at least in
part, to warnings from these
legislators that Congress
would not accept the Benson
plan. The senators apparently
feared an all or nothing ad
ministration stand might
backfire against the GOP in
the 1960 elections.
The one clearly new propo
sal in the program suggested
that farmers participating in
the soil bank program might
be given "payments in kind
from out of the existing gov
ernment held crop surpluses.
Uses Softer Language
He recommended an order
ly expansion of the soil bank
program, under which farm
ers take land out of produc
tion to hold down surplus out
put, from the present 28 mil
lion acres to 60 million acres.
The President repeated his
recommendation for a wheat
program which would elimi
nate acreage allotments and
marketing quotas beginning
with the 1961 crop. He also
tempt to discredit Finch's
claim that his wife was kill
ed accidentally after he strug
gled with her for possession
of a gun. Finch testified he
wrested the pistol from his
wife and that when he threw
it away it discharged acci
dentally and the bullet struck
Barbara Jean in the back.
The prosecutor asked him
whether he didn't think so
ciety let alone his wife -would
disapprove of setting
Carole up in an apartment.
"I didn't expect the rest of
the world would find out
about it the way the rest of
the world is now," Finch re
plied. British Traffic

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
A terrifying wave of
ar-
rests is going on in the Do
minican Republic, according
to reliable reports reaching
here. These reports say a spe
cial "detention camp" has
been built in the countryside
outside Trujillo (capital of
the Dominican Republic) and
the fate of perhaps 1500 per
sons herded into it is com
pletely unknown.
. The persons arrested are
reported to have suffered ex
treme PHYSICAL ABUSE.
They have no communication
at all with relatives or
friends " on the outside and
their names have never been
announced by the Dominican
government.
WHAT'S in the wind?
It's like this:
The Dominican Republic is
ruled by a despot-who, AS
LONG AS HE HAS ALL THE
GUNS, has supreme power.
He can do as he pleases with
the lives and fortunes of the
people and NOBODY (except
somebody with MORE GUNS)
can say him nay.
That's despotism.
What's despotism?
It's TOO MUCH POWER in
too few hands.
A WORD here to the peo
ple of Cuba:
In your country, one des
pot has just overthrown an
other. It looks very much at
the moment like your new
despot may ' be worse than
your old one. Among other
things, he's flirting with
COMMUNISM, which is as
cruel a despotism as has
ever existed.
You'd better turn thumbs
down on ALL the despots.
They're dangerous. They're
as dangerous as an atom
bomb in unscrupulous hands
f ORE from Washington:
1T x The U. S. senate voted
by a decisive majority the
other day to increase the
federal aid to education that
is proposed in a bill pending
before the congress to $1,-
834,000,000 (a billion, 834
(million dollars) and to in
clude aid for teacher salar
ies as well as school construc
tion.
Under the bill, if enacted
into law, the state of Wash
ington would get $14,015,000
in federal funds for each of
the next two years, Oregon
would get $9,435,000 and
Idaho would get $4,672,000.
FS a lot of money.
