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.

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

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

were delivered to a downtown pool

For Courtesy
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Eisenhower, noting demon
strations against Anastas Mikoyan
in this country, today called for
courteous treatment of the Soviet
visitor.
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."
Asked whether Eisenhower feels
that demonstrations against Miko
yan do not reflect a true picture
of America, Hagerty simply re-
lerrcd newsmen to the first sen
tence of his statement - dealing
with Eisenhowers hope Ameri

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.

Holmes' attorney, Orval Thomp
son, Albany, had agreed that

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

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

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

Immediately after the inaugur

"We sland ready to cooperate

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

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

Larson went up to the tower.
All the time the tower appeared
lo be swaying more and more oft

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

We scrambled up straight, trellls

into the tower'a base.
It was almost totally dark In

had been merely a curious but
dangerous sight. But inside the
dark shaft beneath the tower we
heard eerie, ominous sounds of
