MEDFORD, OREGON Provisions of Executive Branch Important Recommendations (Thii it Mm fourth in series of articles (bout in revised Constitution pro posed by she Oregon Con-' siitutlonal Revision Com. mluion. The articles were written by Hani C. Linde. professor oi eonttitutlonal law at tha University of Oregon and a member of tha CommiMion.) The provisions for the executive branch of state gov. ernment are the most in nortant recommendations of the Constitutional Revision Commission. They have at tracted much interest and some misunderstanding. The Commission proposes to retain the mutual checks and balances among the legis lative, executive, and Judicial branches of government, but to strengthen each branch by removing internal blocks to responsible performance. , Critics of existing state con. stitutions have found that the executive branch most often falls short of this second ob jective. As Governor Langhe of Washington, speaking as chairman of the national Gov ernors' Conference, lamented in 1955: "The public looks upon the Governor's position in the state as comparable to that of the President of the United States. It holds him respon sible for whatever happens during his term of office." In fact, the typical 19th-century state constitution gave a gov ernor no such responsibility for state administration. Rath er, it left state government, in Langlie's phrase, more "a combination of loosely con nected semi - autonomous bodies." In this century, consolida tion of the executive branch has become the key feature of constitutional reform. It is the hallmark of the post-World- War-II constitutions of New Jersey, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and the main ob jective of pending revision efforts In other states. . Governor and Controller The Constitutional Revision Commission adopted a clear principle to assign respon sibilities within and outside the executive branch. It dis tinguished between "execu tive" functions and "control" (or "watchdog") functions and kept them strictly separate in its proposals. The governor, as chief ex ecutive, must be responsible for all executive functions - that is, for the performance of all state agencies. The revised Constitution makes the gov ernor the only elected officer in the executive branch so that he cannot shift that re sponsibility by blaming other elected executive officials who are beyond his authority and who may in fact oppose him. All control, or "watchdog,' functions are, on the other hand, made independent of the executive branch. No offl cial should make decisions on action, and also investigate and report on the correctness of his own action. These "watchdog" functions are therefore assigned to a new constitutional officer, called the Controller. May Be Elected The Controller may by law be an elective officer. Just as he is made Independent of the governor in selection, authori ty, staff, and budget, the Con troller likewise may not be assigned any executive func tion in making or carrying out governmental decisions. He can only audit, investigate, and report on the perform ance of government "in com pliance with applicable stand- Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Reejrter and Tribune Synalcara, 13) , Nature Speaks With Many Peculiarly Suited Tonf ues Speaking of tongues (and we could not speak without them) we find a startling di versity of adaptations, uses and purposes among crea tures. Each tongue is par ticularly suited to its owner's wav of life, the manner in which it SDeaks, secures its food, tastes or cleans its face. Nature speaks with many tongues, and many are de signed for peculiar purposes. Some have been developed to a fantastic degree of speciali zation. In one animal, at least, the tongue answers for a hand. The long, powerful tongue of the giraffe can be extended beyond the" reach of the lengthy neck to grasp a "tongueful" of leaves, pull them down and into the wait ing jaws. Peace Corps May Aid the Retarded Washington - IUM -The oower of love as a nutrient in the growth of a child has stimulated some communities to organize programs in which volunteers learn to blend compassion in their care of mentally retarded children, reports "Children," journal of the U.S. Children's bureau. Such programs arc credited with inspiring the president's panel on mental retardation to Include In its recommend ations the proposal that vol untcer services for retarded children be part of the oper ations of a domestic peace corps.

These essential functions resemble those the U.S. Comptroller General performs in the fed eral government. To insulate the office of Controller from politics and avoid the abuse of its power for personal political ambi tion, the Controller will have a term of not less than eight years, during which he is in eligible to run for another elective office. Some members of the Commission believe that the Controller may well be made elective on a non partisan ballot. The Commission's proposals The tongue of the anteater is as long, but here it is de veloped into a stringlike or gan and as flexible as a piece of cooked spaghetti. It probes, like a worm, into the twisting tunnels of an anthill. It is bathed with a sticky adhe sive to which the Insects stick as closely as a fly to flypaper, When the animal feels the tongue is covered with ants, it is withdrawn and the in sects eaten. Different from the long flexible tongue of the anteater is that of the insect -eating woodpecker. These birds have sharp pointed tongues, with a barb at the end suitable for spearing their prey. With an action like that of the small boy with the frog-spear, the bird impales an insect with much more accuracy than that possessed by the small boy with the spear. The common little southern chameleon also has a barbed tongue, and at tains a high degree of sure- ness In stabbing insects. Soft and Blanket-Like Without the strength of some, or the slenderness of other animal species, the tongue of the toad and frog is soft and blanket -like. The bizarencss of the tongue In these creatures is in the at tachment. It is hooked to the front part of the under jaw and it Is rolled out like a tiny wet rug, to enclose the Insect-victim. Then the tongue is rolled back into the mouth. This front hinge arrangement gives the frog an extra long reach. The snuke tongue is forked, divided into two branches at the end. It Is highly sensitive to vibrations, and probably also to the sense of smell, but is never used for pushing food around In the mouth. The dog and cat can fold their tongue Into cups whereby liquids can be scooped up. The cat's tongue acts as a pretty efficient wash cloth. The tongue of a butterfly is colled up like the hairspring of a watch and Is unrolled when the Insect sips nectar from a flower. Too Often Wags The human tongue pushes and arranges food, tells tales, conveys Ideas and too often wags. It occupies a place on the floor of the mouth and is generously equipped with sen sitive nerve ends that disting uish the difference between sweet, sour, bitter and salt. These nerve ends are pretty special In their selectivity; those nerve ends that detect salt completely Ignore sour or sweet foods. One set lays down on t h e Job and allows others to select their own special taste sensations. All together, they can detect the difference In taste of well over a thousand flavors, and an unlimited number of vi brations. Strange Indeed, and exceed ingly useful, are the tongues of living things man. bird, frog, dog, insect or giraffe. thus strengthen both the gov- e r n o r's responsibility for executive performance, and also give assurance that this performance will be checked by independent audits, inves tigations, and legal opinions. Like many old state constitu tions, the present Oregon pro visions fall short of these two goals. Two Official Duties Under the present Constitu tion, the Secretary of State is both an administrative offi cial, and also charged with responsibility for auditing the administration. The Attorney General - a statutory officer not mention ed in the Constitution - heads all lawyers for the agencies within the state administra tion. This is a key role In the performance of the executive branch for which the gov ernor la responsible. Under the revised Constitution it would not, as now, be held by an independently elected of ficer, who is the political op ponent of the chief executive. The present contradictory ar rangement is an inevitable source of difficulties, and has led governors to turn to other legal counsel than the attor ney general. Election of the attorney gen eral cannot be justified by any watchdog' role ne per forms. The attorney general does not now have any in dependent powers of investi gation or other action without the governor's order. The re vised Constitution proposes to strengthen the effectiveness of both roles by (a) placing the attorney general within the governor's administration, and (b) transferring to the new office of the Controller the "watchdog" powers of invest igation, and of giving Inde pendent legal opinions to leg islators and others outside the executive branch. (Nextt The Executive, continued.) Need Noted for More Instructors Mrs. Thomas Donahue, Red Cross nursing instruction chairman for the Jackson County chapter, has announc ed that there is an urgent need for more trained instructors for the care of the sick and injured classes. She added that the local chapter is currently unable to meet the demand for the classes due to this shortage. An instructors training pro gram is now planned locally for the week of April 8, with Miss Pat Joyce, area qualified Red Cross instructor trainer, conducting the class. To qualify for the training, women should either be nurses, teachers, or retired teachers or college graduates willing to teach one commu nity class a year at the con clusion of their instruction period. The 18-hour course will be conducted during the week of April 8, with a definite time schedule being set up by Miss Joyce when she ar rives from Pacific Area head quarters. Women Interested in the service should register now by telephoning the Red Cross office, 772-4405. If lambs consistently pass up the salt box or block, it's a sign they are sick.

You can (Skvcarch the federal budget h''. from cover to cover and never ral Intelligence Agency Budget, Spending Remain Secret Items find an item allotting money to the CIA. People qualified to make an educated guess think the annual expenditure is around $400 million al though they concede it well could be twice that much. Each year the CIA director appears before small panels made up of senior members of the Senate and House ap propriations committees. He tells them how much money he needs, but doesn't have to explain what he intends to do with it. After the congressmen okay the round sum, it then is split into many small items which are salted and hidden throughout the federal bud get. An item for 500 trucks for the Agriculture Depart ment very well could be an appropriation for the CIA, which doesn't buy trucks. Nobody Asks Once the CIA has its money, nobody asks how it is being spent although the President could insist on knowing. Di rector John A. McCone of the CIA is the only agency head in Washington who can write a check or a voucher for any sum of money he desires without getting permission or explaining it to anybody. Nur does he have to get permission to hire or fire people. One esti mate - possibly too high - is that the CIA has 40,000 em ployees at home and abroad. But no matter how much money it spends or how many agents it deploys, the CIA still is going to be out-manned and out-spent by the Russians. At the height of the. Stalin terror one Russian out of every five was said to be connected in some fashion with espionage although millions were only on a part-time basis and chief ly engaged in spying on one another. Nikita Khrushchev has changed things a bit, but the Soviet Union still musters a formidable army of spies and counterspies. Home and Abroad Allen W. Dulles, who has just retired as CIA director, describes it this way: "Today the Soviet state security serv ice (KGB) is the eyes and ears of the Soviet Uniun-abroad as well as at home. It is a multi purpose, clandestine, arm of power that can in the last analysis carry out almost any act that the Soviet leadership assigns to it.

It is an aggressive arm of Soviet ambitions in the cold war. If the Soviets send as tronauts to the moon, I expect that a KGB officer will ac company them." Dulles says every Russian organization outside the So viet Union is loaded with KGB agents - embassies, le gations, trade missions, tech nical advisers and even the United Nations delegation. In some embassies, he adds, the KGB agent may be a chauf feur, but he gives orders to the ambassador. The CIA cannot do business in such a high-handed and free-wheeling fashion because it ultimately is responsible to a democratic government op erating in a free society. But it does have one powerful ad vantage over the KGB. Either through fear or disgust, Rus sians have been defecting to the West in increasing num bers. They have included a sub stantial number of Russians inside the Soviet espionage network, and these are the prize catches of all for the U.S.D.A.

They began defecting as long ago as 1837 when Walter Krivilsky, chief of Russian espionage in HoUand. desert ed to the West. This was so damaging to Moscow that Soviet agents were sent to assassinate him. They suc ceeded in killing him in a Washington hotel, but not be fore he had turned over in valuable information to the United States. Others include Alexander Orlov, former Soviet agent in Spain; Igor Gouzenko, who walked out of the Soviet Em bassy in Ottawa with all the Russian codes and ciphers in his pocket; Vladimir Petrov. KGB chief in Australia: Juri Rastvorov, intelligence officer in Tokyo; Peter Deriabin. who deserted his post in Vionna: and Alexander Kaznachayev, who defected from the Soviet diplomatic mission in Burma. Has Clear Advantage Defection is a two - way street, of course, and the West haa suffered some damaging ones, including such scientists as Bruno Portecovo. But on the balance Dulles believes the West has a clear advan tage over the Russians in terms of information supplied by defectors. He indicates there arc many Russians who have defected and not yet "surfaced," meaning that the CIA chooses for reasons of its own to keep their stories secret. The CIA regards KGB agents as efficient, dedicated to their cause and utterly ruthless. Dulles tells a story about Gen. V. S. Abakumov, a Soviet intelligence chief in World War II. His sister was arrested for speculating in the black market and the case was referred to him. He wrote this memo: "Specula-' Uon during war time is treason. Shoot her."
