Suppose a take the day off lor brief look at Uia measures on tha Oregon ballot.

Eight of the 18 are what wa might call "housekeeping" meaa urea. In general they prupoee bet ter wmya of doing things. More modern' ways. I suggest that you approach them In the aplrtt of the housewife who overhaula her kitch en from time to time with the Idea of making It mora efficient. ' Two of Hie If Involve moral la auea on which you will have your own peraonal opinion, bawd on your peraonal conception of what la right and what la wrong. There: la a etraighl tax mcamira. designed limply to ralae more money. There la a CLOCK meaa ure Involving In Hie aummer montha thla almple queatlon: ' What time la It anyhow?" ' Let's take up the broad, alale Wtoe alx In brief detail. The moat eontroveralal, I think. It what la generally known aa the milk bill. It propones a departure limn tha rigid regimentation of the milk Industry from the cow to the ronaumer under which we have operated In Oregon ao long. It re talna all the ouallty safeguards and price controla up to and Including the producer. It removea aoma of them ABOVE the producer level and opens up tha handling and marketing of milk more widely to the play of irea enterprise. With conalderable travail of aoul (I have been whooping It up for tha dairy Induatry for 35 yeara) I aha l vote FOR the milk bill. That la to aay, 1 will vote 333-YE8. After all. It la only a bill, not a conatllutlonal amendment. If It oen I work, wa can repeal It, Next In Importance, I'd aay, la the weight-mile truck tax, which laya a larger ahare of road con struction and maintenance on the big trucks. We can t do without the big trucka, but I think they must pay their full ahara of tha dam age they do to the road. Our best amnoritiea aay iney a on i ao wiei now, I'll vote llf-VES. There la a companion bill to 111 31. Ita number la 330-331. Ita pur pone la contrary to 31 If you vot 1H-YES, you ahould alao vote (if you want to ba consistent) MI-NO. I ahall vote 111-NO.

Ita baalc purpoae la to reserve tha bulk of the- property tax to the cltlea, the counties and the smaller taxing aubdlvlalona. They NEED It. . I think that purpose; U sound and will vote US-YES. I'll vote JOUNO against the amendment making the state school superintendent appointive Instead of eleotlva. I grant the va lidity of the arguments In Ita favor, but personally I want to keep gov ernment CLOSE TO THE PEO PLE. Over the long pull, that seems aupremely Important to me. I'll vote S33-NO against the legis lative reapportionment bill. It's a ; step closer to putting control of the legislature Into tha handa of the big cities. That, I think, la dangerous. There la more com mon sens In the cow counties. So much for the BIO BIX, ' The housekeeping" measures (as I segregate them In my own mind) are; I 303-303. ' .

The general made the state ments at Queens Borough hall as he began a three-day swing through New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area in quest of New York state's 45 elec toral votes. Eisenhower said his political op ponents have been spreading re ports that, since the opening of the campaign, he has changed his pos ition on most of the major nation al and International questions. i am tne same man I was when I came home to begin this crusade," the general said.

Ut Blazing guns and sturdy prison gate turned back alx desperate convicts In a fog-shrouded bid for freedom early Wednesday. At one time live guaras were tied and taken along as the con victs slipped through the grounds in fog so thick objects were dis tinguishable only a few feet away. sut witmn an nour it was an over: The six were back In cus tody, two of them were wounded. and the guards were unhurt. The notorious Dupree Poe was one of the six. Bo was William P. Benson. Poe, serving life for kill- . Ing a policeman, has tried again ana strain to escape, rms was nis fourth time In 1953. Benson, orig inally sentenced to five years for a Multnomah County armed rob bery, did escape once. That was In 1949 when he and Omar Plnson went over the wall but later were both recaptured. OTHER FOUR The other four Included Albert Doolln, habitual criminal from Marlon County; Allen Brumfteld, murderer from Multnomah County; William Baker, doing four yeara for a Jackson County burglary; and Irvln Jones, murderer from Wasco County. The last two, Baker and Jones, suffered flesh wounds when wall guards opened fire. The affair started when Ouard Sgt. C Watson saw. at 4:30 tin. a man loose In the corridor of tha segregation ward. Watson swiftly called four other Inside guards from the floor above, and the five ran outside to make a quick check. Deputy Warden Lawrence O' Brien said that this then became the sequence of events: AMBUSH Although the guards didnl know It as they ran out into the fog, sis men had gone through a window alter springing the bars, and were waiting for them. - each guard was grabbed, threat ened with knives and clubs, and bound with tape and tora-up sheets. Inside guards are not armed. The convicts then picked up make-shilt scaling ladder lash-, ioned irorn two- plank t wired' to gether and beaded for the south walL They forced the guards to walk along with them. As yet the guards, under threats, bad made no outcry and no alarm had been sounded. ; REACHED WALL Tne men reached ihe wan. start ed to put up their ladder and were confronted by a line of armed men atop the wall. They had failed to reckon witn the standard prison fog guards. Turning, they melted into the darkness, flipped off a derailing switch in front of a railroad box car, and pushed the car Into mo tion. Shots rang- out. thev lumped on the moving car and abandoned the five guards. The car rolled on and crashed Into the gate which bent, but held. The six ran from the car. Less than an hour later, while state and city police manned the wall, a, searching party found them hiding under a trestle. The trouble, the deoutv warden pointed out. Is that the segregation unit, housing 15 convicts. Is a makeshift with only soft steel bar ring the way to freedom. A new building- will be completed next. year and It will be secure. Until then, desperate men will continue to make their breaks, O'Brien pre dicted.
