Ireland's HcoDiomic Future Tied Closely
By DONAL O'HIGGINS
United Preii Internitionel
Dublin flIPD Ireland cele
brates her great national
feast day ol St. Patrick Sun
day in turmoil of speculation
on her economic future and
conscious that fateful deci
sions lie ahead.
No longer a member of the
Commonwealth and denied
entry to the European econo
mic community, Ireland is
only too aware she can no
longer indefinitely "go it
alone" in a world levelling
off into rival trade groupings.
It was in this realization
that Ireland originally ap
plied for full membership of
the common m a r k e t an

Wife of Representative Asks
Pay Be Cut to Former Salary
By ZAN STARK
United Press International
, Salem - (UPD - Although the
battle over legislators' pay in
creases still rages, no sena
tor or repre
sentative has
refused to ac
c e p t the
monthly pay
or expense al
lotment. But
the wife of
one r e p r e
s e n t a tive
who is em-
sur ployed as a
secretary, has asked that her
pay be cut to the amount she
was receiving in her .former
job.
The secretary is Mrs. May
belle Elder, wife of Rep. Ed
Elder, (R-Eugene). He is one
of those who fought the leg
islative pay hike when it was
enacted early in the session.
Legislators formerly receiv
ed $600 a year in pay, plus
a small expense allowance.
Daily Expenses
They now receive a $3000
a year salary, and expenses
of $20 daily for up to 120
days while the legislature is
in session. .
Secretaries - all but Mrs.
Elder, that is - receive $17
daily, seven days a week. This
amounts to $510 in a 30-day
month.
When the pay bill battle
was fought on the House
and Senate floors, opponents
charged husband-wife legisla
tive teams could earn $1360
a month.
. Twenty of the 30 senators
employ their wives or daugh
ters as secretaries. In the
House, 34 of the 60 represen
tatives hire wives and daugh
ters. During debate on the bills,
opponents in both houses hint
ed they might not accept the
pay, or might turn back some
of the expense money.

she accepted, after much soul
searching, the full political
implications member ship
would involve.
This was no easy decision
sion for an ancient nation
proud of its soveraigniy
and with a history of fierce
independence. It was not
easy, either, to accept the
inevitable whittling down
of her neutralist role on the
world stage, particularly
within the framework of
the United Nations.
Economic Factor

In recent weeks Republi
cans have charged the Dem
ocratic legislative leaders with
excessive spending. Last
week Rep. Joe Rogers (R- In
dependence) charged the leg
islature was "creating a very
poor image" by spending
more itself while trying to
cut other budgets.
Additional Employees
Rogers said this session was
costing $492 per day more
than the 1961 session because
of 30 additional legislative
employees.
Gov. Mark Hatfield has
stated publicly that the leg
islature is "thin skinned"
about criticism over the pay
increase.
The purchase of new type
writers for legislative secre
taries sparked charges of "ex
cessive spending" from many
Republicans.
Floyd J. Gould of the aud
its division of the secretary
of state's office said no leg
islator has refused to accept
his pay or expense money.
He said Mrs. Elder was the
only legislative employee
who had asked for a reduc
tion in pay.
Gould said there were no
indications legislators were
not cashing their checks, al
though he indicated there was
a possibility.

Dr. Busby fought his way
to the side of the stricken

him, he shook his head
gravely, and ordered,
"Get your lawyer, your
family, and your friends

When he got back
home, Dr. Busby told his
wife the instructions he
had given. "Poor fellow,"
she sighed. "Is he really
that sick?" "Not at all,"
grinned Dr. Busby. "He'll be perfectly well in 24 hours.
But I was darned if I was going to be the only sucker out

the tourist.

Costs Cut

The depressed agricultural
community saw membership
in the European economic
community opening up un
tapped markets.
Overshadowing these ambi
tious dreams was the stark
realty that Ireland's economy
was firmly anchored to that
of Britain.
This was dramatically
underlined by the concern
felt here when Britain's
hopes for common market
membership first withered
and then, last January, died
on the rock of French oppo
sition. With more than 80 per
cent of her exports direct
ed to the British market,
Ireland could see no place

the fickle support of a hand

has felt the breeze of public
discontent.
Opposition parties, which
had withheld fire during the
common market negotiations,
moved quickly to attack. Fine
Gael, the main opposition
party, joined with the Labor
party in moving no confi

ment's austerity policies.
LeMass survived in parlia
ment by a margin of six votes,
but has found himself cata
pulted into an election atmos
phere which may force him
to dissolve parliament and
hold a general election.
A shrewd politician and
political realist, LeMass
knows he must produce
quickly some alternative pro
gram to fill the common mar
ket void.
His first move was to ar
range urgent meetings with
British Premier Harold Mac
Millan to map out the course
of future trade.
To LeMass this is a gamble.

Forum Interests
Ever since Irishman Fred
erick Boland's term as presi
dent of the United Nations
general assembly, interest in
the world forum has been
steadily maintained in Ire
land. This has beens trengthened
by Ireland's contribution to
the work of the United Na
tions in the Congo.
Her growing prestige has
been manifest too in the
number of world leaders who
have visited here during the
pats year, including U.S. Sec
retary General Thant, former
U.S. President Dwight D.
Eisenhower and U. S. Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk,
Even as Ireland welcomed
these distinguished visitors to
her shores, she continued to
play the great national guess
ing game when will Presi
dent John F. Kennedy visit
his ancestral birthplace at
New Ross, County Wexford?
Kennedy Expected
Repeatedly told by for
mer U. S. ambassadot
Grant Stockdale that Presi
dent Kennedy will lake an
early opportunity to visit
this country, Iriih hopes
soared when it was an

planned to visit Italy this
year.
The White House has re
fused to speculate on an Irish
visit by the President and the
U.S. 'Embassy in Dublin has
been equally reserved.
In New Ross ttself where
the local population already
has played host to Senator
Edward Kennedy, there is an
air of quiet confidence that
his distinguished brother will
visit them also.
Once he puts a foot In
Europe, he can't avoid an
Irish visit," seems to be the
firm local conviction.
If he does visit Ireland,
land, Kennedy will find a na
tion still troubled by the twin
evils of the unemployment
and emigration but a nation,
also, that has taken giant
steps forward in Industrial
advancement.
Many Jobless
Although unemployment
has become a football in the
thrust and parry of national
politics, no government has
yet been able to make an ap
preciable impact on the fig
ures running at about 70,000
jobless a year.
Traditional reluctance of
the Irish farmer to early mar

factor in denuding the farms
