Con trary to our usual practice and in the firm belief that we'd have no trouble, we just drove blithely in, only to find that reservations were scarcer than hen's teeth. Finally, after some very useful help from one motel operator, we were com fortably put up at another unit a little farther down the street. Elko, as you probably know, is the very heart of the Bing Crosby country. Everywhere you turn you see pictures of the famous crooner, and talk of his holdings, his hospi tality and his visits is heard on every side. The town, which is typ ical of most Nevada towns that lie on the desert reaches, has broad streets cut by indeterminate wan rierinc little alleys and sideroads, few trees but a general air of scrubbed and almost painful neat ness. In all probability this is the result of wind rather than any community elbow grease. Quite a little dcvclpment is go' ing on in one of the hilltop resi dential developments, and I no ticed an obviously new Catholic church done in the modern decor Six out of ten homes are coiv structed of brick. Downtown appli ance stores, furniture shops, office supply outlets and saddle makers jostle emow to eiDOw 10 casinos, bars and motels. To the casual tourist, It seems that in Elko everyone you see is Irvine to look like either a ranch owner, a professional gambler or a movie star. The dress is casual to the point of absurdity. This year the dude fashion seems to be to wear the pants tucked inside tho boots, not outside. I also seem to notice a trend away from the flat heeled or so-called walking boot of cowboy footgear and a return to the hifih spike heel. Lois of big deer noticed on car racks and hanging out the back end of pickups. It looks like Nevada has had a good season. Missed the duck hunters, though. There just doesn't seem to be any duck or goose hunting in this country, Up the next morning and into the Ranchinn where over coffee we ran into a fellow by the name of Jack Nelson who owns and operates through the agency of his sons the Nelson Meat Company of San Jose, California. Jack, who was leaving that night to fly to San Jose to observe his 501 h wedding anniver sary, tells me ho used to be a cat fic wishing to move up Upham would have to come to a complete stop. Requests were received mat tne stop sign be removed. This was arranged for. However, this apparently did not meet the protests because Friday morning Mayor Lawrence Slater received a petition signed by some 202 persons residing in the area to be affected, asking that the proj ect be abandoned. In accordance with the petition. Mayor Slater in consultation with F. B. Crandall, traffic engineer tor the State Highway Department, ordered the project abandoned. and what has been built will be torn out. However, I don't think the proj- problem such as there appears to be at this corner. Traffic destined for Upham Street has to run hazard in coming across Oregon Avenue. I agree with the protesters that the island as it was to be built did not solve the problem. It merely have created additional traffic hazards. This particular spot with the sharp incline creates plenty of hazards in ice and snow weather. However, I don't think the proj ect should be abandoned complete ly. I do think that a careful study of the corner will give engineers the right design idea. The island should be mainly for the protection of traffic leaving and entering Up ham Street into Oregon Avenue. A smaller island just past the Upham Street entrance that would give downhill bound traffic protec tion until they reached the three way corner would help some. The other side of the island should permit passage of traffic coming off Oregon Avenue, or going from Upham onto Oregon Avenue. The tragedy of the situation is that now the island idea at this point will probably be completely abandoned because certainly none of the council wish to tackle the problem again in view of the heavy protests. By the same token, the State Highway Depart ment will not be interested again in tackling the problem. Let's hold up the project until it can be reappraised and some of the quirks taken out of it , , , let'i not abandon it. 16 per cent of the time.

The Mideast Doc trine, the International Atomic En ergy Agency treaty, the civil rights bill and the bill to protect FBI files all had the backing ol majorities of both parties. In regional terms, the most con sistent backers ot bipartisan stands were eastern Republicans and west ern Democrats. Those who most frequently opposed the bipartisan position were midwestern Republi cans and southern Democrats. Sens. Thomas II.

He also did some buy ing in the All uras region, but the winters got to be too much for him. Out of Elko alter a leisurely breakfast, where we drove o u t across the desert toward Wells. This is pretty high desert country where occasionally you run into little arms of cedar and juniper ttrelching down off the hills. In ne such place near an almost impossible rock cut, a large herd of deer, including one set of horns, ran across the highway in front of us and scrambled up the prac tically perpendicular walls only to pause and peer down at us from their sale aerie. Few quail in this country, al though there arc miles and miles of dry laud grain fields stretching away on both sides. The country is beginning to look more like east ern Oregon and less like Mexico. From Wells to Wendover. practi cally on Hie Utah border, is a trip where you do nothing but flee across the desert. Bonneville, of course, is nothing but a flat, white stinking reach of country to be gotten over as quickly as possible. We did so. and due to the expert guiding of l'hil und Louise Rrogan found a bypass around Salt Lake City that took us through the cop per mining and smelting area, through the center of two coal mines, a steel mill and dropped us into Salt Lake City on State Street. the longest street in the world.

Several weeks aqii Hie city coun cil took under advisement a re quest that some sort ot an island be constructed at the corner to provide safety for pedestrians as well as to simplify the traflic pat tern. After consultation with the State Highway Department, tlu-tr engi neers ogreed to look over the in tersection and make a recommen dation. Their recommendation was that an island be constructed that would ,-pht the Orccot. Avenue tratfic ul that point It was agreed that both the ci'y and the state would split the co-t and that the state would build it The information that the island was being considered and that it was approved for construction wns made public, and yet no protests appeared. However, shortly after actual construction of the island besan earlier this week, the piotest; began to roll in. In the first place top sign was placed where ti a: senters in 1957, Byrd and Morse took the min ority viewpoint on just about one third of the roll calls where bi partisan majorities agreed, accord ing to Congressional Quarterly's an nual analysis of bipartisan support. The analysis was based on 69 Senate and 41 House roll calls on which a majority of voting Demo crats and Republicans took the same position. Byrd bucked bipartisan majori ties 33 per cent of the time; Morse, 3'2 per cent. Lending dissenters among the Republicans 26 per cent of the time were Sens. Wil liam E. Jenner Und. I and John J. Williams (Del.). Fifty-three per cent of the 1957 roll calls were bipartisan votes, the CQ analysis showed. Biparti sanship was up slightly from 1956. when 50 per cent of the roll calls produced party agreements, but was well below the 1955 level of 65 per cent agreement. Sen. Richard Neuberger (Dem.i voted with bipartisan majorities 83 per cent ot the time and against them 17 per cent of the time. The average Republican Senator hacked bipartisan stands more fre quently than did the average Dem ocrat. The typical GOP Senator's bipartisan support and opposition scores were 75 and II per cent: the typical Democratic Senator's 70 and 15 per cent. Absences account ed for the remaining votes. Similarly in the House, biparti sanship was stronger among Re publicans than among Democrats.

Food lleport By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor NEW YORK (UP) Woman's insatiable curiosity leads her to read the recipes on food pack ages. But it doesn't always tease her into trying them. Matter of fact, it sometimes just sets her to nagging the food in duslry. One of the more persistent com olaints is against the manufactur er's estimate of the number of servings in the package, com pared with a family s consump tion.
