That the most unnecessary sur vey we've ever heard of was the one that came up with this shock ing conclusion: Women talk more than men!. . . what we need now is a survey to find out whether two plus two still equals four. That Groucho Marx says, "we owe a great deal to our govern ment. The question is, how are we ever going to get the money to pay it?" That if you've ever wondered about "a snail's pace" the an swer it: The snail's speed has been scientifically clocked at .000353005 miles an hour. (The figure is somewhat lower for a muddy track.) That the population of New York City in 1729 was only 8,000... or about one fourth the number who now work in Rockefeller Cen ter alone. That the male stiff collar is said to have been indirectly orig inated by the first Queen Bess of England ... A homely dame, she hid her scrawny neck in a high stiffly starched ruff.. .Her courtiers including Sir Walter Raleigh, gal lantly followed suit, this starting the fashion of starched collars for men. That night club star George Dc Witt observes, "Years ago it used to be the local strong man who tore up telephone books. Today it's more likely to be any man with a teen-age daughter." That if you're lazy and want to worm your way out of digging in the back yard for your fish bait, the Fisherman Magazine gives this tip: Turn to your pan try. . .Fish will nibble at a hook baited with macaroni, noodles, spaghetti, cheese or even sweet corn. mat mother elephants very rarely give birth to twins, and by and large, you can't really blame them. That the Cafe St. Denis here, celebrating its 25th anniversary, claimed it had never lost a penny via bad debts . . . The reason? It never has had charge accounts. That if a girl tells you "I eat like a bird," don't take her out for dinner until you find out if the bird she has in mind is a baby crow. This little bird can cat it's own weight in food in asinglc day. That, in opening a fashionable ladies' clothing shop, one human factor you can't overlook is this: Women seldom like to walk on the sunny side of a street. (As a matter of further fact, isn't it true that after marriage few women like to walk at all?) That singer Johnny Desmond tells of the friendly prison warden ...real palsy-walsy...llc culled all the inmates by their first num bers. That in discussing the need for self-discipline, President Franklin D. Roosevelt liked to tell of ti humble old Chinese Christian, whose favorite prayer was, "Lord, reform thy world, beginning with me." So, the Sadlak-llerlong bill is ad vocated to lift the nation out of its present recession, in addition to providing a fairer tax system to promote permanent prosperity and to make a vital contribution toward winning the economic race with Soviet Russia. It has bi-partisan support in Con gress, having been introduced by Rep. Sadlak (R-Conn.) and by Rep. Herlong (D-FIa.). Both are mem bers of the tax-initiating House Ways and Means Committee. Their bills are identical. Those familiar with how things are done in Washington think the present tax situation is about as follows: Mr. Eisenhower, for several months, has been getting a great deal of conflicting advice from his associates as to what course he should follow. While this debate continued, time marched on toward the June 30 deadline when auto matic reductions take place in cor poration and excise tax rates unless new legislation is enacted in the meantime. Under present law, the corporation tax would drop from 52 per cent to 47 per cent find certain excise taxes (on automo biles, cigarettes and liquor) would decline to prc-Korean levels. Since Congress must be given time to consider tax rccommenda tions from the administration, Mr Eisenhower decided he could not wait any longer. What he did was the same thing he had done each year since he entered the White House. He recommended that the status quo with respect to cor poration and excise taxes be continued. Never before, however, has he emphasized (hat the administration would continue 'to reexamine the fiscal situation and would be ready to adjust its policy as develop ments indicated. There is an ever-present possi- bilily, also, that tax reform sent iment in Congress shared vigor ously by some members of the ad ministration might spread to formidable proportions irrespective of recommendations by the admin istration and by Democratic Con gressional leaders. It is vitally important, however, that any movement for tax reduc lion be channeled in the right di rectionalong the lines of the Sad lak-llerlong bill so that a perm anent improvement in the nation's economy will be made possible Tax Silualioii By JAMES W. DOUTHAT National Association of Manufacturers WASHINGTON It is clear tliflt President Eisenhower did not close the door to tax reform in formally requesting Congress to continue corporation and excise taxes at their present level. In fact, he left the door wide open by emphasizing that "consid oration ol fiscal measures will continue to be made in the liulit of (he developing economic silua tion and wilh full regard In both the short and long-range effects of any proposal." Therefore, those who believe that enactment of legislation like the Sadlak-llerlons tax relorm bil would be in the best interests of die nation plan (o continue their campaign. This measure would make the present tax system more equitable lor all hy lowering personal and corporation income tax rates to a maximum of per cent by a series of annual reductions spread over live years. There would be reductions of at least 25 per cent in every personal income tax bracket. Furthermore, it is the most mod erate tax proposal wilh respect to revenue impact pending in Con Kress. And the expectation is that this type ol tax relorm would so timulato Hie economy that lax revenue actually would be creased soon as a result ami return to a balanced budget more quickly assured. DHeiiulta Ilili'iiiniii By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - At this moment the self-assured Charles de Gaulle's head is high and his stride strong. Nevertheless, ho is liko a man walking barefooted through a field of broken bottles. The French air cleared momen tarily when he became premier yesterday. But what may seem to Dc Gaulle today to be direct and simple solutions for the ills of France may before he's through turn into tortured dilemmas both for him and for his country. French acceptance of him, his terms, was a desperate com promise to avoid civil war. lit was rammed down the country's throat by a rebellious army. Thus he had to be taken on faith in hurry: both as to intention and as to judgment. Although his announced purpose is to preserve the republic and all he's done has been clothed in legality he nevertheless has blessed the military chieftains who forced him upon France. Yet something liko this emer gency of a strongman seemed inevitable. If not De Gaulle, even tually it would have been some one else or the army. French gov ernment or, its parliamentary system had become and a disgrace. The all-powerful Assembly, split into factions with each concerned about its own interests, proved in capable of running the country. So De Gaulle's first aim is to re form the government this way: Through a constitutional change to make it more like the Ameri can system by making the execu tive branch stronger, the Assem bly weaker, thus achieving a greater balance of power. This is one announced intention. Another is to reach a satisfac tory settlement in Algeria, where Moslem nationalists have fought by French army for years to ob tain independence. But this is what the French who live in Al geria don't want. To get things done De Gaulle, who despises politics and political horse-trading, must deal in one way or another with French poli ticians. One of his first acts was to put leaders of various political parties in his Cabinet. He almost certainly will have to make political compromises to get some of what he wants. But he is not noted for compromise. And opposition to his acceptance in the first place, while in a minority, is still intense. Thus there is ready-made oppo sition to him starting out. As he goes about reforms at home, it is likely the opposition will increase and not diminish. This will be a good test of his faith in demo cratic practices to get things done. There is the fear and there has been since the beginning that once in power he will rely less on democratic processes and more on dictatorship, although he has now indicated he despises the authoritarian role. But his worst trouble may come from the army and the extreme right if they Jeel he is making too much compromise with the left or if he offers an Algerian solution contrary to their desires. Thus he can expect trom the army and the right a scrutiny as intense as the one focused on him by the left. But the effect of his solutions won't be limited to France alone. For example: if his answer on Algeria pleases the army but in furiates the Moslem world, the West will be faced with the pros pect of seeing all North Africa turn to communism or neutral ism. There is so much puzzlement about the French future under De Gaulle that the West can only guess what's next and hope for the best. State Capitol News By JAMES D. OLSON This is the period in the 1058 state political campaign when the primary results are being analyzed and opinions given as to why cer tain candidates won with large majorities and others failed. Hence we will give our views as to why Secretary of State Mark I tat field polled 103,4(12 votes to 114.675 gained by his nearest op ponent. State Treasurer Sig Unan- der. (These are the unofficial fig ures. Election Supervisor Freeman llolmer says he expects to have Ihe complete official count within a week.) First of all. it is our opinion that Secretary Hatfield won the Repub lican nomination for governor bv such a large majority, because of a number of factors, foremost his clearcut stand on all slate issues. Space will not permit the review of his views on all issues, but one or two examples will perhaps prove Ihe point. For instance, his homespun phil osophy in dealing wilh Ihe sales tax issues, doubtless won his manv farce , votes. In brief he contends that if the Legislature enacts a sales tax it should be placed squarely be fore the people and not "sugar- coated" as an "educational tax." Further he says he fears there is too much talk about new taxes and not enough about government liv ing within its income. Speaking on education, a subject on which he certainly is well qual ified, having served as Dean of Students at Willamette University and serving as vice-chairman of the Education Committee in both the House and Senate, he outlined a proposed eight-point program as follows: (1) More clearly defining the role of vocational education, perhaps by making Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls a member in stitution of the State System of Higher Education. (2) Adding three new members (nine to 12) on the overloaded Board of Higher Education, and two new members (seven to nine) on the State Board of Education. (3) Beginning now to plan within 10 years a 13th and 14th grade technical institution in Portland with state aid, perhaps an addition to Benson Polytechnic School. (4) Modifying the state fee remission scholarship program and giving a stipend directly to the student for use at his, option at a public or independent institution within the state. (5) Opposition to car-market sales tax for educa tion. (6) Education for educators in overall government linances. (7) Interim study of retention p r o b lems between freshman registra tion and graduation drop out be cause of marriage, military, aca demic failure, high pay job op portunities and loss of incentive. (8) Insistence by teachers on sound business practices by ad ministrators to thwart taxpayer re bellion against inefficient and un economical practices. The point that we feel impressed the voters is that Secretary Hat field did not attempt to dodge any questions but gave his opinions on all state issues regardless of what the political effect might be. And that, we believe, gained the con fidence of the voters. Another important factor in Hat field's victory was the fact that he had a total of 724 contributors. mostly donating small amounts, to a total of $21,881. He also had 23 active committees working in his behalf throughout the state. In scanning election division records this is a primary campaign record U.S. Senator Wayne Morse had 448 contributors in 1956 but 72 of these were from New York and other out of staters. His innumerable non-political ap pearances in virtually every sec tion of the state, at commence ment exorcises, church and organi zation meetings, contributed much to his success. The demand for Secretary Hatfield appearances were far more than he could ac cept, but even before he decided to get into the governor race, he had made several hundred such appearances. And finally, his personality, all agree, was a factor that won him votes. He won the confidence ol his audience, in his sincere and frank approach to state problems (Note) Next week we will dis cuss why we believe Gov. Robert D. Holmes won the Democratic nomination by 69.020 votes over his nearest opponent, former State Senator Lew Wallace.

The coffee counter man hands you a dinosaur hunting license "Special permit," it says, 'is sued by authority U.; S. Reptile uontrol commission. If you think the Chamber of Commerce is behind it, you're right. "We put out about 60,000 of those licenses a year," says Law rence Siddoway, secretary-manager of the Chamber in nearby Vernal, Utah. "Best advertising we have." '.'Try our dinosaur steak," says an ad in the local weekly paper. "Dinah lives here," proclaims a sign bearing the picture of a baby dinosaur. It's in front of the Utah Ficldhouse of Natural His tory in Vernal. Nearby is a lowering dinosaur skeleton, 76 feet long and 21 feet high, and there's always a group of tourists or children gaping at it. It's all because there is a dry and barren mountain near the Green River, not far from the Utah-Colorado state line, which is said to contain the best quarry for dinosaur bones in the nation. Twenty-six nearly complete skele- ..mrlrtnnn at the tons have been dug up here. Some -r V" .' sils free of the rock tormation which has held them for eons. of them may be seen in such places as the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, Smithsonian Institu tion, Washington, D.
