But they underline the po litical and economic difficulties of the French North African protec torate. , Nationalist violence all but ceased after - Pierre Mendes France, while France's premier, made his dramatic flight here in July 1954 to offer Tunisians a large measure of autonomy. Habib Bourguiba, popular lead er of the nationalist Neo-Destour party, returned from exile to a tumultuous welcome. Moderate nationalist Tahar Ben Amar was named premier, and the two men began negotiating with the French and working at home to Improve Tunisia's lot. Mendes-France's regime toppled before he was able to attain his goal. But his success or Edgar Faure carried through to parlia mentary approval of a program of partial home rule last August. The new setup gave Tunisians considerable control over , their home affairs, but the French con tinue to direct defense and for eign relations. Friction rose when Bourguiba's once-close friend, Salah Ben Yous sef, refused to go along with any thing less than full independence. Ben Youssef began denouncing the agreements with France. Mew Election Kill Old Laws Customs FIVE KILLED TAIPEI, Formosa lPI Chinese newspaper reports Wednesday said five persons were killed in the Pescadores Tuesday when one picked up an old" hand grenade and it exploded. By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM UP Tne old Oregon custom of voting in the wrong pre cinct has come to an end, thanks I to some new election laws. Manv voters, moving out of their precincts, have continued to vote in their old precincts. Nobody ever did anything about it because no body cared. However, the 1955 Legislature, at the urging of Republican Farty officials, passed ' some laws that will compel voters to vote in the precincts in which they live. II they don't, tney can De sen tenced to two years in Jail and fined Jft.OOO. For the first time, voters In the 1956 elections will have to sign poll books,, attesting to the residence shown on the registration list. Also for the first time, when voters register they will have to swear that they meet the residence qualifications. On the registration blank some thing new has been added. It is a warning that any false statements shall be punished by two years in jail. $5,000 fine, or both. The Legislature's elections com mlttee research staff is critical of that penalty. It points out that a person could make an honest mis take, like incorrectly listing his place of birth, and be subject to the penalty. Signing of the poll books means that members of election boards will have to be on their toes to spot violations of the residence require' ment. And Just to keep them on their toes, the Legislature provided a maximum penalty of three years in prison and $2,000 for election officials who don't follow the law. A careless slipup could get some honest board member in the toils of the law. In all, there are 12 new election laws that are being used this year lor the first time. . The others, of lesser Importance, will accomplish these reults: Renuire candidacies to be filed by 5 p. m. on March 9. This means that mailed candidacies, even though postmarked before that time, won't be accepted. All campaign letters and clrcu- lars must contain the names of the authors and publishers. This law Is designed to stop anonymous smear campaigns. Authorize county clerks to give each voter a precinct .memoran dum card, showing his name, ad dress and precinct. Divide Multnomah County into five subdistricis for electing slate representatives. This means that each voter In the county will vote only for three or four represents ties, instead or 16. Place Information In the Voters' Pamphlet on requirements for vot ing, when to register, absentee vot ing, and how to get registration certificates. Limit pictures in the Voters' Pamphlet to portrait cuts. This will eliminate maps, cartoons and similar types of material. , Put all candidates for the same office in the same column on the ballot, and prohibit . any duplica tion of ballot numbers, which oc curs sometimes when fthere are two or more .ballots. If a candidate for county school superintendent or state superin tendent of public instruction dies after being nominated, other can didates can get on the ballot by convention or petition. Let candidates or party organ izations get recounts of election contests by paying for them. Those are all the changes this year. But the 1957 Legislature will consider rewriting the entire elec tion laws. . The Interim committee's re search staff has already come up with recommendations, although the committee has taken no action. Among these recommendations are proposals to cnange tne pri mary election from May to Sep tember, eliminate the presidential primary, put all office on a single ballot, raise the pay of election of ficials, and have the polls open on election days from 7 ' a. m. to 7 P. m. r K?X:,jrvz pqni -vm I .
