Aft ark Hatfield designs Post Price Five Cents 18 Pages In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS By a margin wide enoueh to be decisive, the active congressional leadership ol the ReDUb lean oartv decides to stay on the conserva tive side. Thus it insures to our country continuation of the two- party system, with one party in power and the other party in op- Following closely alter the re cent landslide election, that took tome courage. We NEED courage M our politics. Perhaps we need it more than ever before. We need people in politics who have the courage to stand by their convic tions. And- In particular We need people with courage fnough to stand by CONSERVA TIVE convictions. If we throw con servative thinking completely to li.e winds, the Lord only knows vhere our country will wind up. What is a conservative? In an effort to answer that ques tion, let's go back into history. Disraeli, the classic English Con servative (he might even be said to be the coiner of the term) en tered politics and was first elected to parliament as a Tory. The Tories were arch conserva tives. Later on, Disraeli mellowed. He abandoned his hard-boiled Tory protectionist principles, say ii.g he thought the "needs and the feelings of the British nation had cnanged." He left the Tories, and termed himself a CONSERVA T1VE. In doing so, he gave a def inition of the term Conservative that I think we will do well to remember in these days. He said: "I am a Conservative to PRE SERVE ALL THAT IS GOOD IN OUR CONSTITUTION and a radi cal to REMOVE ALL THAT IS BAD. "To conserve means to MAIN TAIN and to REPAIR." Instead of apologizing for con servatism, the Republican party of today might do well to adopt Dis raeli's definition. ' If it follows that course, it can fct somewhere. If it abandons all i s conservative leanings and goes all-out to out-liberalize the Demo crats it will be up against an im possible job. And Our country will suffer. We NEED a conservative coun ter balance. World News In Brief United Press International FILIBUSTER - Washington -Rules change battle may paralyze the Senate in the first days of its new session.

Man, Woman Practicing Leads To Apprehension The fascinating sight of a 24-1 year-old man and an 18-year-old woman practicing their fast draw with brand new pistols on Seventh Street early this morning led city police into one of their most inter esting cases in weeks. As a result, police: 1. Apprehended suspects in a port shop holdup. 2. Were led to a loud party in a local hotel. 3. Got themselves battered with a wine bottle and a flying ham burger. 4. Arrested eight persons, male and female, ranging from 16 to 35 years old, on charges ranging from breaking and entering to vagrancy. Officer Floyd Pierce first noticed the boy and girl fast-drawing on each other on Seventh Street about 1 a.m. These preservers of the Irontier frame of mind identified them selves as Carlos Lugo, 24, Chelsea Addition, and Mick-Eye Henry fe male), 18, Chiloquin. Pierce noticed th a t the guns were new. One of them even had a price tag on it. The gunplayers maintained they found the guns in an alley, but a brief quiz revealed that the guns were delivered to a downtown pool room last night by a 18-yar-old KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON.

The White House made It clear that Eisenhower is disturbed by these demonstrations against the soviet deputy premier, now tour ing the United States. In Cleveland Wednesday, Miko yan was greeted by chanting, shouting, sign-waving demonstra tors. One young woman, identified as a Hungarian refugee, was ar rested for throwing a rock in the general direction or the Russian party. Protesting pickets also were on hand at Detroit when Mikoyan arrived there today. Eisenhower's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, was asked at a news conference about the Pres ident's reaction to such demonstra tions. Hagerty promptly pulled out a prepared statement. Before reading it, Hagerty said he had discussed the demonstra tions with Eisenhower. The President has asked me to say this," Hagerty went on. "The President hopes that wher ever he goes in this country, Mr. Mikoyan will be met with tne courtesy Americans traditionally show visitors from abroad. 'The President wants Mr. MM kovan to see the real America, so that when he returns home he will be able to carry an accurate pic ture of our good manners, as well as our strength, our comidence, and our determination In the cause of freedom and peace."

KF Theater But Giant Crane Slates By TOM STIMMEL The tower atop the Esquire Theater made it through the night. But it wasn t expected to stay up much longer. A giant crane was moved under the leaning tower today and the cty's outstanding downtown land-; marks was destined for removal. It probably would go up again. un a more permanent basis. But not until savage winds subsided. Meanwhile, there was to be a fhow in the theater tonight, and one of the city's spurts of civic excitement was near an end. About noon yesterday - savage gusts of wind, which had been sweeping in from the south In pro gressively stronger swipes, hcared off steel bolts that an chored one of the tower's four sup port legs. At the same time the wind jarred an opposite leg from its supporting brace. Thus the north-south axis ol the lower's support was seriously weakened, and the tower began to weave dangerously in gusts of wind that reached 46 miles an hour and never fell below 30 miles an hour. At 12:14 p.m. an unidentified woman called city police head quarters with the incredible Resignation Takes Effect On Oath For Governorship SALKM AP)-Gov.-clect Marki Hatfield today resigned as secre tary n( stale cllective upon his laking the oalh as governor. This move, he said, will pave ihe way for a court challenge nextl Monday of Gov. Robert D. Holmes' appointment of David O'Hara as secretary of state. . Hatlield said his lawyers would f'le Ihe action in Supreme Court Monday afternoon, immediately alter he takes the oath as gover nor. However, he is assuming that Ihe Legislature will go ahead with the inauguration. Sen. Walter J. Pearson (D Portland), who will be Senate president, said that as far as he is concerned, the inauguration can proceed on schedule Monday. But, he added, "I've been told that if Hatlield is inaugurated, then a suit would be brought to challenge his right to be governor. And that could mean that it would be a question whether Hatfield could get back into the governor's office. "I don't want lo hold up the inauguration. But if I were Hat field, 1 wouldn't take Ihe chance. He's got his neck out a mile." Earlier, Pearson had said he felt that the inauguration should he delayed until the court settles (he tricky question. But Ihe fact that Hatfield re signed today apparently caused Pearson to change his mind. If a court should hold lhat Hat field isn't qualified to be governor because he didn't resign first, then there would be a possibility that Holmes might stay in office for two more years. Pearson refused to disclose who said he might bring a suit against Hatfield. Gov. Holmes last night officially appointed O'Hara, retired chief of the State Elections Division, to the position last night. It would ake effect when the office be comes vacant. Hatfield refused today lo attest Ihe appoinlment. saying that O'Hara could do it if he becomes secretary of state. Hatfield said that his attorney. LaMar Tooze, Portland, and Holmes' attorney, Orval Thomp son, Albany, had agreed that State Budget Total Listed SALEM (AP) - A 324-page budget calling for total expendi tures of $908,388,136 to run the stale in the two years beginning July 1 rolled off the presses today. The total for the current bien- nium is $873,638,095. In the 1955-57 biennium, it was $634,107,254. The total for the next biennium includes' $298,615,347 from the stata general fund. This is the amount that the Legislature is be ing asked to appropriate, and is 25 million dollars mora than in the current biennium., The other $609,772,789 Is being asked for departments which ob tain their own revenues through special taxes. This includes the Highway and Liquor commissions. The budget was prepared by John F, Richardson, Gov. Robert D. Holmes' director of finance and administration. The governor said that the budget is designed to take care of existing programs only, and that it would swallow up all revenues in sight. Richardson said the real cru cial fiscal problem" will come be fore the 1961 Legislature, when all tax surpluses will be gone. He predicted that' the Legislature would have to find 76 millions in new revenues just to keep state agencies operating on existing levels. Of the total budget, the federal government will contribute $162, 467,074, of which 96 million will be highway funds. Tower Passes Crisis, alarm: the tower on tne fcsquire Theater was about to fall off. Police immediately investigated. blocked off Seventh Street between Pme and High, and checked with .lames Gellally, who manages the theater for Mann Th?aters of San Francisco. The tower wasn't falling off, but it was swaying dangerously. Spec tators gathered below, beyond rafety barriers, and watched the metal monster sway with the wind. Nobody could estimate how heavy the metal tower is. but it was acavv enough. It Is constructed of sheet metal formed about a steci Irame, and heavily adorned with nron tubing. A construction work er for Miller estimated the tower was about 40 feet high, resting uneasily on a steel-reinforced concrete and plaster base about 90 feet high. The whole business was ubout 130 .eel' above Seventh Stieet, and iwaying more dan gerously by the moment. The first people to go up and have a look were Charley Larson, a tneater maintenance man, and Don Miller of the W. D. Miller Construction Company. "We went un there pretty fast, Larson said. Miller went out for tha proper tools and soma help, bringing the action before tha Su prenie Court Monday afternoon would be the best way to get the issue settled. It will be simple. The court merely will decide whether O'Hara has the right to hold the office of secretary of stale. Hatlield said he would announce his selection for the position im mediately after the Inaugural. He also said he expects the In augural to proceed on schedule at 2 p. m. Monday. Hatfield, making his announce ment at a news conference, said I have a legal and moral duly lo stay on the job as secretary of late until i assume the duties of governor. Immediately after the inaugur ation, proper proceedings will ba commenced seeking a speedy de termination of the rightful occu pant of the secretary of state's office Gov. Holmes' choice or mine. "We sland ready to cooperate fully with the governor's lawyers to secure a quick ruling from tha Supreme Court. We invite cooper ation from the retiring adminis tration so that no state business will be interrupted or affected." Smiles Mark Controversy SALEM (AP)-The bitter con roversy over the right of ap pointment of Oregon's new secre tary of state was moderated with smiles and joshing when Gov- eiect Mark Hatfield submitted h'l resignation as secretary of stata to Gov. Robert D. Holmes th! morning. In all, it was som-what a com edy of errors. Hatfield, closing his press conference, went upstairs to the executive suite to submit his resignation to Holmes. '. Only one person was in the outer office, a clerk who hurriedly called Gov. Holmes' administra tive assistant, Harry Swanson. While Hatfield and his entour age glanced about the governor's office, swanson hurriedly tracked down the governor. Holmes had gone for coffee in the coffee shop in the Capitol basement. naitieia, entering tne governor s office, smilingly noted that he had achieved the governor's office at least for a minute. He noted lhat the governor had replaced tha electric log In the fireplace with honest-to-goodness logs. Then Hat field sat down in a small chair on the far wall. Swanson reported that Holmes was in the coffee shop. At Holmes' invitation. Hatfield went down stairs, and Holmes received him with a hearty handshake and a smile. - Holmes read the brief statement of resignation and told reporters he didn't feel it was in Drooer form. He said it didn't follow tha spirit or intent of the opinion by Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton which was handed down last Wed nesday. , ' Gov. Holmes said he would sub mit the resignation to Thornton immediately for an opinion. Then Holmes and Hatfield had cup of coffee together. Position Given To Area Rancher SALEM (AP) - Merritt Parki, Fort Rock cattle rancher, was ap pointed by Gov. Robert D. Holmes Wednesday to the stata Soil Conservation Committee. He succeeds LeRoy Gienger, Chiloquin, who resigned. The term ends June 14, 1961. Dr. S. E. McGough, Pendleton veterinarian, was appointed ts the state Board of Livestock Auc tion Markets for a term ending June 4, 1962. He succeeds Dr. R. L. Lewis, Redmond. Removal Larson went up to the tower. All the time the tower appeared lo be swaying more and more oft perpendicular. Each time a gust leaned the tower in the direction cf the Fremont School it was more and more doubtful that the tower would fall back to an uneasy rest. Larson went up to check it jgam, and I asked to go with him. We scrambled up straight, trellls ,ke ladders, out onto the roof, and into the tower'a base. It was almost totally dark In side. Until then the swaying tower had been merely a curious but dangerous sight. But inside the dark shaft beneath the tower we heard eerie, ominous sounds of cieaking metal each time the tow er moved with the wind. It sound fd like squeaking hinges on a giant door that might collapse at any moment. The sight of the tower became more ominous, too.
