The bill went to the Senate. Counties for the first time will get $1.5 million, or five per cent of state-collected liquor revenues. It will help meet counties' share of new programs such as medicare and surplus food distribution. The rest comes primarily from county-collected property taxes. Cities will receive an addi tional $750,000, or $3.7 mil lion over the biennium. The increase in liquor prices requires only an in structive order to the Liquor Control Commission. The commission said the increase, although averaging 10 cents a bottle, will vary with different brands. Timber Tax Reform Measures Approved Salem -(0PD- The Senate to day approved both the East ern and Western Oregon tim ber tax reform bills, sending them back to the House for concurrence in minor amend ments.

For who can say that the whole world is not "mad"-a world in which the front pages of the daily newspapers are filled with stories about men who shoot into space strange and frightening, yet exciting objects which carry other men in order that we may explore the atmosphere around us with stories Pi a strange war in a country where the gen eral citizenry neither knows what is going on, nor cares; of uprisings, and ill-fated inva sions and general unrest of many peoples. In such a world, then, it does not seem so "mad" that the woman of Chaillot all in an afternoon attempts to rid her portion of the world of the money-greedy, of those who would despoil the natural Bill Regulates Theater Closures Salem -0IPD- Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Portland) won Senate Rules committee ap proval and today introduced a bill requiring certain drive-in tneaters to shut down by 10 p.m. The bill pertains to those theaters located within 2.0Q0 feet of a public highway. Violation would be a mis demeanor. The ban would be in effect from May 1 to Sept. 30 each year. Intent is to "protect the public safety, peace and mor als and to prevent traffic con gestion on the public highways." Mahoney attached an emer gency clause, allowing the bill to go into effect immediately upon passage.

Yes, indeed, this play is ex actly the One to see this week in May of 1961. Has Bitter Lesson "The Madwoman of Chail lot" is comedy, a comedy with amusing, biting lines and a bit ter lesson. It is a play which requires considerable of those who attempt to produce and play in it, and one which also requires that the audience give something in the way of understanding and apprecia tion of the symbols and the meaning. As usual, Mrs. ZapeU has managed to bring out the best of the abilities of her student players attempting roles which require considerable imagination and depth of in terpretation. DeAnne Taylor gives a relaxed and intelli gent performance in the title role of the "madwoman" who has "my cats to feed, my dogs to pet, my plants to water and who says "I have to see what the evil ones are up to in the district those who hate animals, those who hate flowers and those who hate people." Terry Wiek gives a strong performance as the Ragpicker, who believes "the pimps have taken over the world. They don't do anything, they don't make anything they just stand . there and take their cut." Dean Hiser, as The President, uses his fine voice and forceful stage demeanour to good advantage. Supporting Roles There are many supporting roles in this play. JoAnn Johnson is the pretty waitress and Bob Walker plays Pierre, who "doesn't want to kill an hour he only wants to kill himself." Bill Deemer is The Prospector, one of the despoil ers, Jim Douglass is the loud- talking broker and Bill Deck- ard has a good scene as the sewer-man. A times it seems as if the entire large cast is competing for attention on a stage which is riotous with color and weird costumes. It is diffi cult, for instance, to concen trate on Tne President s lines when two jugglers, one of them a beautiful girl wearing leotards, are filling the air with balls and apples. One of the most delightful scenes is that of the four mad' women in the apartment of Countess Aurelia, a basement room decorated in a manner to subtly accent the conglom erate costuming and the vivid dialogue. The four students. Miss Taylor, Lindo Jo Walter mire, Beverly Gebhard and Diane Hunter, do well in this part of the comedy. Background music written and taped in New York is used for the production. The Madwoman continues to night and tomorrow at the high school auditorium, with curtain time at 8 p.m. Both general admission and re served seats are on sale at the box office. O.S. Congressmen Laud Space Shot Washington (UPD Jubi lant members of Congress to day cheered the heroic achievement of Ast r o n a u t Alan B. Shepard. They hailed his space flight as a giant American stride in the space race with Russia. But some cautioned that there are still challenges ahead. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, president of the Sen ate and head of President Kennedy's Space Advisory committee said Shepard "will never be forgotten." Speaker Sam Rayburn said: "It was a great feat. I am very proud. It was very grati fying to me as I feel sure it was to all the American peo ple that we have demonstrat ed that we can send a man into space." Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.-"rm delighted on behalf of both the astronaut and our country that the flight was so success ful. It is indeed great news." Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (111.) "It's wonderful. This reaffirms the faith of the country in our ca pacity to do these things and to move ahead in the space field."

Eichmann Defense Witnesses Barred Jerusalem-IUPD-Israel barred the way today to four more possible witnesses for Adolf Eichmann by branding them as war criminals and announc ing they would be arrested if they set foot in this country. The action brought to a total of eight the number of West Germans who have been denied safe conduct to Israel for the purpose of testifying for the defense. The court of three Israeli judges had ruled it has no authority to grant or deny safe conduct because that is a function of the exec utive branch of the government.

Shepard, all "ducky bumps" when her as tronaut husband was rocketed into space and "thrilled" by his success, said today that he would like to be the . first American to orbit the earth. Excited and radiantly hap py after the ordeal of Shep ard's flight, the beautiful bru nette said she knew it would be successful "from the min ute it blasted off." Flashing a sparkling smile, she came out on the porch of their ranch-style home and told a throng of reporters, cameramen and friends: "I don't have to tell you how I feel. It's just wonderful. It's beautiful . . . just wonder ful." - Later, she reappeared and said: "I know he'd like to be the man to orbit the earth."
