Tunis Rebels Renew Efforts
TUNIS, Tunisia W Isolated re
bel bands and grenade-hurling ter
rorists have begun to reappear in
Tunisia after 18 months of falter
ing progress toward self-government,
i
Most of the outbreaks, which be
gan two weeks ago, have been
small. 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.

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.
