Legislative The Oregon Constitution, in setting forth the pay to be received by members of the legislature, also allows them 10 cents per mile en route to and from the legislature (one time only) on the most usual route, "and no other personal ex penses." How, in view of this, can the legislature vote, as it did last week, to allow members up to $75 per month for expenses while in session, and up to $150 per month between sessions? Ex-Gov. Charles A. Sprague, in his Oregon Statesman column, says: "How these legislators expect such a resolu tion to square with the constitution they had just sworn to uphold is beyond me." TTHE crux of the matter is that the Constitution prohibits payments for "personal" expenses, while the resolution passed last week provides for "legislative" expenses. Is there a real difference? Is the resolution just juggling with semantics? We won't know until there is an authoritative ruling on the matter either by the Secretary of btate, or, if he disallows by the Supreme (Jourt. THE question is doubly touchy because of the faff triaf incf 1af. Mnvpmhpr fho npnnlp vntpci down an increase in legislators' pay. And one could argue, as some members did, that this, coupled with the express constitutional ban on personal expense payments, puts this resolution beyond the pale of, if sponsibility and moral We cannot agree, however. We do not believe would really expect legislators to spend their own money on expenses which are, in fact, leg islative expenses, if given a chance to decide (which they have not had). Such expenses include things like telephone and telegraph charges, expenses, postage, office reference materials, stenographic assistance, and so on none of which would be incurred if the individual were not working for the benefit of the state. IT WOULD appear that there is a substantial difference between these legislative expenses, and personal expenses, such as meals, lodging, incidentals, and others. ' And we therefore believe that the legislature is well within its rights, m drawing such a line, for legislative expenses. There are safeguards, also. The expenses must be itemized and certified, and must be ap proved by the presiding which the legislator is a Why $75 when in session and $150 when not in session ? The members have a number of serv ices and supplies available during the session secretaries, stationery, limited postage, reference materials, and so on which are not available between sessions. The amounts involved certainly they should do a great deal'to ease the considerable financial burden which serving in the legislature has come AN INCREASE in pay for legislators undoubt- edly will come up again for a vote of the people. But in the interim, we feel that the payment of legitimate and necessary legislative expenses will broaden a bit the number of good people who are of legislative caliber, and perhaps make it possible for experienced men to seek to return to the job. The move is of benefit to the state, and Bhould not be begrudged. K A. 23rd Amendment We urge the Oregon 23rd amendment. Before some of our more volatile readers have conniptions, we hasten to explain that it isn't THAT 23rd amendment we have in mind it is a proposal which or being adopted. (One proposed "23rd" would end the income tax and cut down the federal government by about 70 per cent; the other would permit voters of the District of Columbia to cast ballots for President and Vice President. The second is the subject today.) Governor Hatfield supports the ratification uf this amendment, and sain so, with good effect, in his message to the legislature. ' HE said: "Another mutter of constitutional concern Is that of prompt approval of the 23rd Amendment to tha U. S, Constitution. In the November election Ore gonlani supported Die Idea that people within our borderi should not be disfranchised in presidential elections because they could not meet the residence requirements. It Is only fitting that In this same spirit the franchise should be extended to residents of tha District of Columbia." , Oregon is one of 41 of the 50 states where legislatures meet this year, and as soon as 84 of them ratify the Amendment, it will become effective".

E. A. Dennis the Menace 'HOW FIRM CAN I GET SCTUALLy BELTING HIM Matter of Fact v CONCESSIONAL AUGURIES Washington - This week's big event in Congress was simple enough. Sen. Mike Mansfield 01 Montana sua cessfully pass ed his first test as Majori ty Leader, when the Sen ate sent the whole p r o b- lem of changes in the Senate Alsop rules back to the Rules Committee. For the student of Congress, the fight over the rules was an interesting affair. To begin with, the apple of discord was hurled by Vice President Nion. In order to open the way for a rules fight. Nixon used his power as presiding officer to condemn as "uncon- stilutional" the Senate's pre vious vote that its existing rules survived from session to session. Having placed the Senate under the unaccustomed guid ance of Robert's "Rules of Or- der" and Thomas Jefferson's "Manual," tha Vice President vanished from tha scene. Sen ate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen then hastened to ex tract a Republican advantage from the situation that Nixon had created. He smoothly of fered Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia conservative Republi can help in the Southern fight against any radical change in the Senate rules which Nixon had declared void. SEN. Joseph Clark of Penn sylvania and the other Democratie liberals at once plunged into the fray, with their customary disregard for practical consequences. ' This time, however, the liberal banners carried a compromis ing slogan. Instead of a rules change absolutely outlawing filibusters, the liberals were now seeking merely to reduce the Senate majority needed to condemn a filibuster from two-thirds to three -fifths of the whole. This compromise command ed a rather solid majority of the Senate, as Senator Mans field soon discovered. To boss this majority, Senator Russell and his Southerners- were therefore ready to talk until kingdom come, preventing the inauguration if need be. But among the Senators ready to back the compromise, Mans field also discovered just enough who were equally willing to refer the whole matter to the Rules Commit tee. This was what the Senate voted to do on Wednesday, by a majority of 90 to 48. As anyone who studies the roll call can see, the final effect of the wordy struggle was to re create, at least for the time being, the old Republican conservative-Southern coalition Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- mWO SCOTCHMEN, sauntering along a beach at low tide, A spotted an oyster simultaneously, Both grabbed for It and claimed It, and the dispute became so hot they decided . to leave the decision to a third man on the beach, tie suggested mat eacn Claimant ion nil story, and while thoy were or ating, he opened the shell, extracted the oyiter, with a grunt of satisfac tion, then handed each of them a shell.

Juntas it reached the ban a tree 11 hy ".,can.t "x ,nd"'"' You see, been where I yms six monms ago u t0 mor? fast,- em safi ctsAuour WITHOUT ONE ?. - Joseph Alsop The liberal effort to exploit the situation produced by Nixon in fact assisted the wily Dirksen more than anyone else. flHIS episode is interesting, precisely because one has heard the same story so often before. The liberal fondness for gestures and carelessness of solid results: the Republi can maneuvers to promote an alliance with the Southerners against the liberals; the South erners willingness to be ex plotted, even if the original troublemaker was a Republi can himself, as in the present case-all this is very familiar. The legislative program of President-elect Kennedy, at least as announced to date, is only too familiar. It contains no item which has not passed the Senate, at least, in one form or another. Equally familiar,' at any rate to those who have seen previous changes of adminis tration, are tha grumbles now being heard in so many Con gressional quarters. This great man in tha House has a neph ew who'has served long and well in an Important regula tory commission; and now the nephew has been passed over for the chairmanship in favor of a rank outsider. That lead ing Senator has a friend and protege whom Secretary of Defense-designate Robert Mc Namara obstinately refuses to name to an Assistant Sec retaryship. And so it goes. THE grumbles only mean vthat President-elect Ken nedy's Congressional liaison is not yet in good working order. The re-emergence of the Re publican conservative South ern coalition only means that Kennedy is going to have to make a special effort to se cure Southern support. But the quality of a ten-times-told tale which tinctures the whole Congressional situation is gen uinely ominous. The point is that the pres ent Congressional atmosphere of business-as-usual, slogan-as-usual, squabblcs-as-usual, and grumbles-as-usual, is by no means an atmosphere that lends itself to bold, emergency action. Yet the gold drain, the acute political-military crises in Laos and the Congo, the defense position, the general drift of world events, all com bine to call for bold and prob ably painful action. Thus Kennedy's primary problem, from the very mo ment that he takes the oath, will be to create a climate of action. He can only do so, be yond doubt, by bringing the country up short with a sharp warning of the exceptionally grave national situation, which most people have hardly no deed. If the country changes, Congress will also change, (c) 1981 New York Herald Tribune Inc. r ah AN ivi eysTCB f crashed to the ground, missing ooservea mo snaii, u i naa mm urs um metigStoffa'Ut Today & Tomorrow By Walter Llppmann THE FRENCH DECISION The referendum on Algeria Is, it seems to me, more deci sive than the gross figures seem to show, Thus, It is true that if we nnnnt iha ok. rwVlSfM stainersas Having vuiea 1 L 1 1 no. then Gen Ha flntillp rp, T , 1 rira luorf SB ,1 npr ppnt nf Ihp - fc4 'r m " vote in France Llppmann Itself and only d per cent in Algeria. But these figures do not tell correctly the story of what happened. wnat was the issue on wnicn ail these votes were cast? It was whether Gen. de Gaulle should have a man date to make an Algerian set tlement on the basis, if nec essary, of independence for Algeria. On this Issue France Itself voted overwhelmingly to give de Gaulle a mandate to make an Algerian peace Only about 18 per cent of the registered voters sought to deny him the mandate. But who were they? They were the Rightists who want to re tain Algeria as a part' of France and they were the Communists, who while they do not care about Algeria, are opposed for other reasons to de Gaulle. Most of the non-voters moreover, are to be counted as silent assenters to de Gaulle's policies, for in France the politically passive are, for the most part, willing to go along with his leadership, - WE MAY conclude that France itself, metropolitan France, has now said decisive ly that it wants peace, that it does not support any long er the resistance of the Euro peans in Algeria, and that, while it hopes for an associa tion with Algeria, it is pre pared to accept an independ ent Algeria. This is a decisive result. The voting -In Algeria it self was much less significant. The Europeans voted no, as of course they would. The Moslems abstained in the cities, following the instruc tions of the rebel leaders, and in the country they voted when the French Army took them to the polls. One cannot take these votes seriously. What the voting does show is that the Euro peans are a small minority, no' longer supported politi cally by their compatriots In France, and that the Moslems will follow the leaders of the rebellion. THE practical conclusions to . be drawn from all this are, It seems to me, these. First, an Algerian peace will have to be negotiated with the Al gerians who have waged the war. It cannot be negotiated with anyone else. Second, the European mi nority, which is to lose its political privileges, will now be in jeopardy of losing every thing under the pressure of the huge Moslem majority. In withdrawing their support of the European settlers, the peo ple of metropolitan France have assumed the- obligation of protecting the lives of the settlers and of indemnifying them for the possible loss of their property. This is, I un derstand, thoroughly under stood at the highest levels in France, and may carry with it an offer to repatriate to metropolitan France those who wish to leave a Moslem Algeria. By this referendum Gen. de Gaulle has won a vote of con fidence in himself, he has won a mandate to proceed to the surgical operation w h i e h Some European Socks Need Pulling Up By ERIC SEVAREID I both the blessings and thelof Marxists who drove thelin Briiish lnH,,irv Department stores use the first days of the new year for grab-bag sales to move out-vs0mf-;rmm siies, odd-lots misfits and faulty goods, there is noth ing In our con tract that says we can't do the same.

No one who looks at this vote can imagine the French people supporting an Algerian civil war for years to come. THERE can be no doubt that American opinion will be strongly in favor of Gen. de Gaulle, and whatever in fluence we have in North Africa, in the United Nations, in other world capitals, is sure to be exerted to help him. He must succeed. For there is no tolerable alternative. Were he to fail, the Algerian war would become terrible in its desperation, and almost certainly it would become, at least by proxy, an internation al war. In that event France would be sucked out of any genuine alliance with the West and the whole structure of the Western system would be shaken. If we are entering a period of quiet diplomacy, we should make.it quite clear that a con vulsion in Western Europe and in the Western Mediter ranean would make the inter national situation unmanage able. Therefore, those who want to relax the tensions will find it important to keep them relaxed in North Africa. Cbpyright 1961, New York Herald Tribune Inc. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In Washington, President Eisenhower sends to the con gress his farewell State of the Union message. It is a routine message that he is required by law to deliver. He sends it in manuscript, and it is read to the members of both hous es. .',, - N IT, be reviews the prob- lems of the past eight years. Because his term will expire next Friday, he makes few direct recommendations for the future. HE THINKS (and says in careful language) that in the past eight years we haven't done too badly, every thing considered. He recog nizes that grave problems re main tq be faced - and solved wisely. He closes with this statement! 'A new President will shortly lay before the congress proposals for shaping the fu ture of a great land. To him, every citizen, whatever his political beliefs, prayerfully extends best wishes for good health and for wisdom and success in coping with the problems that confront our nation. IT IS A routine message. But, considering the circum stances in which it is deliver ed, it is an interesting mes sage. It gives an accurate pic ture of this VERY GREAT PRESIDENT.

Well, We possess the material, but from my own travel experience I would put the new Africans first and the French second in terms of the materialistic spirit. -Europeans find American boasting our most insuffer able fault.

(By M-T Staff and Contributors) If you were one of the lucky few who saw a news staff member walking slowly down the middle of Fir street late one evening last week, care fully rolling up a ball of knit ting yarn, this is to inform you that he was cold stone sober. His wife had dropped him at the office for a moment, drove to a store to buy a loaf of bread, and en route acci dentally and unknowingly dropped a ball of yarn out the car door. It unrolled, and she drove around with about 150 feet of yarn trailing in the breeze behind the car. When she stopped for her husband, he discovered the yarn, traced it to its end a half-block away, and carefully rolled it up for her, walking as he rolled. The yarn was undamaged, we're happy to report, and now is part of a young lady's sweater. One of the few for mal sweaters in town, we'll wager, which can boast of hav ing been dragged around the streets of Medford. One of the better defini tions of an old-timer is a person who can remember when he used to wish that ' someday his gross income would be as large as his grocery bill actually is to day, " A home nursing class at a local high school was dis cussing the care of infants the other day, and the teacher asked the class to define colic in a baby.

A couple of Cordova, Alaska's bravest glaciologists recently discov ered the monster, imbedded deep in a glacier in the hills about 500 yards behind ths city.

"But, advises the same spe cialist, the abominable lea Worm (who really is a lovable and friendly thing, in spite of his size and appearance) is awakening. And he will come fully awake on Feb. 11 and 12, just in time to appear at the parade of Cordova's First Annual Ice Worm Festival. "Immediately after the fes tival the creature will return to hibernation for 363 days, thereafter making a yearly ap pearance at the festivities named in his honor ..." Well, it's hard to argue with an honest public relations man carried away by his work. But he doesn't have to go around scaring little chil dren. Incidentally, about that 363 day hibernation, what hap pens on Leap Years?
