Soviet Russia Lays Plans
For Intense Peace Move
By CHARLES M. MrCAN'N
L'PI Foreign News Analyst
Soviet Russia has laid the basis
for an intensified "peace offen
sive."
The basis was laid at a meeting
in Moscow of the eight Commu-
nist-ruled members of the so
called Warsaw Alliance, which
Russia organized in answer to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion.
A communique and a declara
lion issued at the end of the
Pope To Name
New Cardinal
VATICAN CITY (AP) -The
death of Samuel Cardinal Stritch
has renewed speculation that Pope
mis ah soon may call a con
sistory to bolster the diminished
ranks of the college of Cardinals.
Possible U.S. candidates in anv
list of new appointments would
include Archbishop Richard Cush-
mg of Boston and Archbishop John
Joseph Mitty ot San Francisco.
There has been no olficial word
on a consistory, the gathering of
cardinals which seconds the
Pope's nominations to their ranks,
and there will be no official word
until the date for the meeting is
announced, together with the
names of the prelates who will be
elevated to the princedom of the
Koman Catholic Church.
Pius XII has held only two con
sistories during his 19 years on
the papal throne. In 194S he
named 32 cardinals, the largest
number ever elevated at once.
Seven years later he named 24
more, including the first cardinals
from India, Ecuador, Colombia
and Yugoslavia.
The Pope said then he was con
sidering an increase in the num
ber of cardinals, set at 70 by Pope
bixtus V 400 years ago, when the
population of the world was esti
mated at only 360 million people.
Today Roman Catholics alone
number nearly 500 million a fifth
of the world s expanding popula
lion.
Since the 1953 consistory death
and the toll of the years have
weakened the college, whose
members now average 72 years
and shoulder burdens of adminis
tration far heavier than those of
the days of Sixtus V.
The death ot Cardinal Stritch,
70-year-old archbishop of Chicago,
cut the membership to 55 cardi
nals and' left 15 places vacant.
There are 18 cardinals from Italy
and 37 from other nations.

meeting formally announced con
ditions for a "summit" confer
ence of heads of governments on
world issues and offered the West
ern Allies a 25-year treaty of non-
aggression.
They also restated Russia's
sponsorship of the Rapacki Plan
announced by Polish Foreign Min
ister Adam Rapacki, to ban nu
clear weapons bases in Poland
Czechoslovakia and West and East
Germany.
In addition, the documents an
nounced reductions in strength of
the armed forces of Albania, Bui
garia, Czechoslovakia, Poland and
Romania.
As is cuustomary in such Com
munist pronouncements, the docu
ments were blatant in their propa
ganda.
The Western allies, and espe
cially the United States, were de
nounced as aggravating world
tension while Russia and its sat
ellites vere struggling for peace-
tui co-existence.
There was nothing startling, or
really even new, in the Commu
nist documents. But they laid
down a broad program for coop
eration in the name of the eight
Warsaw Treaty countries.
The documents indicated that
one big reason why Russia called
the meeting was to try to build
up the prestige of its east Euro
pean satellites, to make them ap
pear to be the equals of the
members of NATO, in prepara
tion for a summit conference.
The declaration said that the
Warsaw Treaty members "regard
a heads-of-government conference
as a major means to protect man
kind from war disaster."
It said that the United States
had brought pressure on its allies
to reject a Russian proposal for
a summit conference with "broad
representation." '
In view of the allied opposition
to "broad representation," the
Communist document proposed
that three or four countries on
each side take part in the con
lerence.
Expert Views
Shasta TV
MONTAGUE-After testing vari
ous sites for the proposed installa
tion of an Adler Television sys
tem, John Newton, field engineer
of the Industrial TV Corporation
of Los Angeles, announced "that
the outlook is excellent for TV
coverage for all of Shasta Val
ley." Newton arrived in Montague on
Friday evening. May 23, to meet
with the Board of Directors and
other interested parties of the Nor
Sis Television Coporation at the
Montague auditorium.
On Saturday and Sunday, New
ton together with Jim Dow, Wil
son Grazier, Chet' Barnctl, Bill
Swigart and Darold Crawford,
scaled various mountain peaks and
hills, testing where the best signal
was obtainable. With the use of
pickups and three jeeps, power
equipment and other testing equip
ment were transported to the high
est peaks of Shasta Valley to
measure strengths of stations in
Northern California and Southern
Oregon. Results showed excellent
reception from Channels 2, 5. 7
and 12, respectively located in
Klamath Falls, Medford, Redding
and Chico.
Newton stated, "More important
than this, however, was finding
sites for retransmitting these clear
strong signals to the majority of
viewers in the Shasta Valley."
Newton agreed with Dow. Grazi
er and Barnett that best coverage
could be achieved by using two
dilierent sites transmitting from
Humbug eastward could provide
excellent coverage for Montague,
Yreka, Grenada and Little Shasta,
east in the valley. Simultaneously
another installation located in the
vicinity of Weed would convenient
ly cover Gazelle. Weed and Mount
Shasta as well as intervening
areas.
With Ihe additional installation
to gain full coverage of the larger
area, rather than the limited cov
erage of a smaller area, as first
considered, the cost of installations
will he somewhat higher, due to
the fact that it would entail the
installation of power and construc
tion of roads.
Jim McAdams. president of the
Nor - Sis Television Corporation,
stated that Ihe "next step was to
raise the necessary funds for the
two installations, and it is up to
each of Ihe local areas that do
want this new television service to
demonstrate that desire by pur
chasing their share of the expense
involved in obtaining such a wide
coverage."

Next Legislature Facing
More Difficult Problems
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM (AP) State depart
ments and legislative interim
committees are busy dealing with
problems for the Legislature,
which meets here next Jan. 12.
It already is certain that the
next Legislature will have more
and tougher problems than ever
before. The list should be enough
to discourage even the most op
timistic lawmakers.
The most difficult problem is
balancing the budget. There just
won't be enough revenue during
Ihe 1959-61 biennium to finance
current state activities.
The agenda being prepared by
the deoartments and interim com
mittees calls for greatly added
ctsts of government.-
For instance, the State Board
of Control will ask for 19V4 million
dollars for institution buildings.
The State Board of Higher Educa
tion probably will want 20 millions
for college and university build
ings, plus more millions to take
care of the increasing enrolment.
The Highway Commission wants
to increase gas taxes one cent a
gallon and add $5 to the annual $10
cost of license plates. The com
mission says it must have this in
crease to finance Oregon's share of
the interstate highway program.
Oregon employers are certain to
got higher payroll taxes. The tax
now isn't large enough to pay the
jobless benefits.
The public school lobbyists will
demand an increase in the basic
school support fund.
Those are the more expensive
items facing the 1959 Legislature.
Costing many millions of dollars,
thev make talk ot a state tax re
duction sound rather futile.
But there are some otner Dig
nroblems being considered now for
presentation to tne Legislature.
These include putting tne siaie
into the power business, how to

jobs, elimination of many boards
and commissions, abandonment of
Oregon Technical Institute, com
bining the fish and game commis
sions, retorm of the courts to
speed up justice, and establish
ment ot state junior colleges.
There are many more contro
versial issues than that, such as
what to do about the rural school
law which is causing hardship in
some districts.
It seems as though all the issues
faced by Legislatures in the past
20 years, plus some new ones, are
being dumped into the next ses
sion. The State Board of Education
might have news at its June 12
meeting to make the school chil
dren and the farmers very un
happy. It will consider a recommenda
tion by a committee of school ad
ministrators and teachers that the
schools maintain school for at
least 180 days a year. The require
ment now is 170 days.
Generally, the board accepts the
recommendations of its profes
sional committees.
The problem in the Willamette
Valley is: How should the extra
days be added?
If extra time is added at the
end of the year, the strawberry
growers ODjcct. rney need the
school kids to harvest their crops.
If school is started earlier in the
fall, the bean growers are hurt.
spring vacation could be e im-
inated. But many schools have
their spring vacation during the
state high school basketball tour
nament. The kids who go to tour
nament would take a dim view of
cutting out that vacation.
ihe school administrators heard
all of these objections before they
made their recommendation. They
feel that the schools should ho

Traffic Death
Toll Declines
CHICAGO (AP)-The nation's
traffic death toll, for the sixth
straight month, dropped in April
and highway deaths in the first
four months this year were the
lowest for the comparable period
since 1M.
The National Safety Council said
the four-month traffic toll this
year of 10,330 was 8 per cent be
low the loll of 11,200 in the first
four months of 1957.
The April highway deaths to
taled 2,600. a decrease of 12 per
cent from the 2,950 killed in April
last year. It was the biggest de
cline for any month since October
1956, the council said, and the
16th in the last 17 months in which
deaths were the same or less than
in corresponding months of the
previous year.
The council said the continuing
decline in the traffic death toll
cannot be attributed to less trav
el. Latest available figures show
that motor vehicle mileage for the
first two months this year was up
2 per cent.
A mileage death rale (number
of traffic fatalities per 100 mil
lion miles of motor vehicle travel)
of 5.2 for the first two months this
year was a record low for the
period. The rate of 5.1 for Feb
ruary alone was the lowest for
any month in the nation's history,
the council said.
"The downward trend cansno
longer be regarded as a flash in
the pan," the council said. "We
believe it reflects improved traf
fic behavior by drivers and pe
destrians, better traffic enforce
ment and engineering and
creased efforts by public officials
on all levels, by automobile man
ufacturers and by many organiza
tions working for traffic safety."
