me President's Plan for Malayan Union Said Slick Politics
mcuma - ii.ni - ine sur
prising proposal by Philippine
President Diosdado Macapa
gal to form a confederat.on
among his country, Malaya,
Singapore and the three Born
eo territories is seen in some
quarters here as little more
than slick politics.
" 'mediate aim of the
move, these quarters said, i
was to get President Macapa-1
Decisive Proof
One, the proposal provided,
as he stated himself, "decisive
proof against the sophistry
and deception of those who
would accuse us of trying to
sabotage the unity of Malay
sia." Secondly, it gave Macapagal
a face-saving device with re
gard to the formal Philippine
claim to British North Borneo.
Malaya is prosperous as the
world's largest producer of
tin and rubber. It is a Moslem
state and the Moslem religion
plays a major part in the gov
ernmental affairs. As a former
British colony, Malaya still Is
very much a part of the Brit
ish Commonwealth.
The Philippines, on the
other hand, Is not nearly as
solvent as Malaya. She is the
only Christian country in
Asia and has more than her
share of internal problems de
spite the efforts of Macapagal
to wipe out corruption. As a
former Spanish and American
colony, this country has few
ties with Malaya or any other
Commonwealth area.
Good Politics
But with the British stand
against the Philippine claim
to North Borneo, Macapagal's
proposal tor a confederation
of Greater Malaya appears to
be good politics. The claim.
thanks to the Philippine
press, has become an imposing
domestic issue involving the
new spirit of nationalism be
ing bred in the Philippines
under Macapagal.
It was this internal clamor
over the Borneo claim that
many observers feel prompted
Macapagal to go out on the
imb last month and make an
jfficial claim to North Bor
neo. Malayan Premier Tengku
Abdul Rahman called Macs
'gal's suggestion for con
federation "an extremely
?ood idea," but cautioned
"such a big project must take
a lot of time. There must be
problems galore."
While not turning down the
proposal, Rahman implied the
formation of Malaysia came
first and only then it might
be time to talk about the con
federation proposal.
The net effect of this is to
give Macapagal justification
in not pushing his North Bor
neo claim too hard at this
time, while retaining smooth
relations with neighboring
Malaya.
gal out of some hot water at
home and abroad.
When the 52-ycar-old Phil
ippine President told his new
conference about the Malay
sia Confederation proposal,
he succeeded in doing two
things.

Political Oddity

for governor.

as Secretary of State Howell
Appling Jr.'s counsel before.
But the situation has never

Shrine Group Will
Sponsor Circus
Rudy Brothers circus, spon
sored by the Jackson county
Shrine club, will appear In
Medford Thursday and Friday,
Aug. 9 and 10 at the Medford
High school football stadium.
The annual Shrine event is
under the auspices of Hlllah
Shrine temple. Proceeds are
used to support various Shrine
philanthropic works.
Two performances will be
given each day, at 2:15 and
8:1.1 p.m. Tickets may be ob
tained from any Shriner, or
may be purchased at the gate
prior to show time.
Featured in the circus this
year will be Keller's Jungle
Killers, a wild animal act. The
act, trained by the late George
J. Keller, had the longest sin
gle run of any act to play at
Disneyland. Aim to be pre
sented Is the John and Carta
Jordan wire walking act. The
act Is making its first tour
with the Rudy Btothera cir
cus. Canned goods contributed
to the Shrine Kans for Kids
Karavan may be left at the
gate on entry to the circus.
The caravan will provide com
mercially canned food for the

suit against Appling Monday
in Marlon County Circuit
Court, seeking to strike from
the fall ballot a measure they
say could ruin them.
The measure, backed by
sportsmen, would officially
designate steelhead a game
fish in the state, and would
sharply curtail each summer's
steelhead catch on the Colum
bia river.
The commercial fishermen
charge that 34,000 of the 54,-
000 signatures on the Initia
tive petition are Invalid be
cause they were obtained un
der a faulty ballot title that
the Oregon Supreme Court
later rewrote.
This, they contend, leaves
only 20,000 valid signatures,
and 42,429 are needed to put
the measure on the ballot.
The case is sure to go to
the Oregon Supreme Court.
If the high court agrees, the
measure would have to come
off the ballot.
While rare, this Isn't un
heard of. David O'Hara of Sa
lem says It happened several
times when he was state elec
tions director from 1920 to
1957.
The question is whether
those who signed petitions
bearing the old ballot title
were hoodwinked.
Thornton cites a 1930 case.
State vs. Hnss. In whirh lh
high court ruled that chang-
ing me Dauot title had no
bearing on validity of peti
tions circulated under a head
Ing altered later. This case
Involved a referendum peti
tion, rather than an initiative.
An opinion by Thornton in
1953 referred to this and, on
Thornton's advice, Appling ac
cepted the 34,000 signatures
on the steelhead petition that
the commercial fishermen
claim are Illegal,
