Ni5n I f M ! GOV. MARK HATFIELD signed the first petition to place Vice President Richard Nixon on the Oregon Republican primary ballot in May. Shown with the governor in front of the Hatfield home is Wendell Wyatt, Astoria attorney and former Oregon GOP chairman, who has taken the leadership in getting the petitions circulated. While only 1,000 names are needed, the "Nixon for President" group expects to collect many times that number from throughout the state. In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Governor Edmund G. Brown charged today that the Eisenhow er administration has had a "warped" attitude toward develop ment of the West. The California Democrat said "the pioneer has been replaced by the profiteer." Brown said that since President Eisenhower took office in li)52 "short-sighted preoccupation with BUDGET BALANCING and an al most servile eagerness to bend to i the will of selfish interests have been substituted for vision and courage." Hmmnimmmm. Let's check up a little. Because of a LACK of budget balancing over the past decade and a half, our national debt has now run up to a total of about 290 billion dollars of which your personal share is about $1500. The INTEREST BILL ALONE on our national debt comes to about nine billion dollars a year. Each billion dollars the federal government spends costs you as an individual about $3.30. That tots up to $49.50 for the nine bil lion dollars of annual interest. If you're the bread-winner for a fam ily of four, your total annual bill for INTEREST on the national - debt comes to the rather tidy sum of $198.00. And- i It all goes to pay for a dead ; horse. It is just INTEREST on ;; money that has already been , 1 spent. If during those years that are j past we had had BETTER : 1 budget-balancers in charge of our i , government, instead of heavy -' spenders who have put it on the " cuff, you'd have that $198.00 to j. SPEND FOR YOURSELF. Let's not pan the budget bal ancers. They help to keep in our pockets money that otherwise our wasteful old Uncle would reach in end take out. ' Governor Pat .is a charming in '' dividual, and we love him. But his views on budget bal- sneers are a little on the unsound . side the side calculated to get voles rather than to keep more 1 money in the pockets of the tax ; payers. Renovation, On Streets ':' Work has begun on repair and renovation of South Suburban streets damaged in construction , of the district's vast sewer system. The South Suburban Sanitary :; District is supervising repair work . done with materials purchased I from the county. The work itself is being done by both county road j and sanitary district crews, t The program began Wednesday on Crest Street. f All costs of repair and renova- tion are to be borne by the sani V tary district on both county and public roads. Financing is to be I achieved through a special tax ilevy. but a portion of the cost will be charged to the contractor, Lee t Hoffman Inc. of Beaverton, for streets on which his crews worked, 'j The county court and sanitary i district directors have reached an agreement, to be signed next week, through which the county will bill the district for any use of county materials, equipment, and personnel. i Most streets in the South Sub nrosn area are classified as pub i lie roads the responsibility of Petitions To Circulate For Nixon PORTLAND Oregon's primary elections, which are of special na tional significance this year, took a step toward further national im portance Wednesday. Wendell Wy att, Astoria attorney and former state chairman of the Republican Party, announced that supDorters of Vice President Richard Nixon will circulate petitions throughout Oregon to place Nixon's name on the May Republican primary bal lot rather than wait to have it placed by the secretary of state. Wyatt slated that he has taken on Ihe leadership of the state's 'Nixon for President" petition drive. While only 1.000 signatures are required, the group expects to obtain many times that num ber. Gov. Mark Hatfield's was the first signature Wyatt obtained when he opened his drive with a morning call at the governor's Salem home Tuesday. Wyatt then reached the home of Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. for his signature and that of Jane Ap pling. Appling is the man who is re sponsible under the Oregon pri mary law to decide which names go on the ballot, as presidential candidates and which do not. Names filed by petition are placed on the ballot regardless of Ap pling's decision, however. Wyatt left the Appling home and arrived at the capital in time to meet the state's new treasurer, Howard Belton. Belton, a Canby farmer and former president of the Oregon Senate, was appointed to the post this month. With Bel- ton's signature, Wyatt had signed for Nixon three of the members of the Oregon State Board of Con trol which administers most state institutions. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., Congressman Walter Norblad of Oregon's first district was affixing his signature to another Nixon pe tition. Petition circulating was old busi ness for Governor Hatfield who, as a youthful state representative, obtained the signatures which put Dwight D. Eisenhower on the Ore gon ballot in 1952. Repair Work Started In South Suburban Area people living on those streets, not the responsibility of the county. Some streets, such as Shasta Way, Ailamont Drive, Hope and Wiard streets and Summers Lane, are county roads, and South Sixth Street, and Washburn Way are state highways, but the vast ma jority are public roads. All repair costs, however, are t:"e responsibility of the sanitary district. Public roads are those which have been improved by property owners themselves, without county funds or other public support. Street residents bought and placed their own gravel. When sewer lines were laid along or across those streets, dis trict project manager Maurice Gunderson explained, wearing surfaces were damaged. Gravel was buried or scattered on gravel roads, and shoulders were broken down on paved roads. Material excavated from ditches was deposited on road surfaces, then replaced in trenches. Much gravel, therefore, was lost to ditch es, and chalk rock excavated Tiger Shark Arrives In Bay Area SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-A 45 inch sand tiger shark named Wal do arrived here today from New York City in a plastic bag of salt water, the first shark to make transcontinental jet flight. Waldo, alive and well, was shipped to San Francisco's Stein hart Aquarium because he looks more like a shark than any of the California native specimens alive. "It will be the first time," said Dr. Christopher W. Coates. direc tor of the New York City Aquari um in Brooklyn, "that the people of San Francisco will see a shark who looks like a shark." Waldo made the nonstop flight aboard an American Air Lines Boeing 707. Dr. Earl Herald, curator of Steinhart, anxiously opened the bag. "He's okay!" he shouted. Waldo was put into another con tainer and hauled off to Steinhart. The worst part of his trip may well have been the first 15 min utes. Dr. Carlton Raye, assistant aquarium director, took a large net and scooped Waldo out of his tank like a goldfish out of a five and-len-ccnt store bowl. Raye then ran the length of the aquarium with the squirming, net' ted shark to the receiving room Waldo was weighed 24 pounds), lifted gingerly from the net, and dropped on a table for measuring. He clung to the net with his teeth. Reporters and photographers stepped back. Coates, Raye and a guard yanked the net out of his mouth and barehandedly wrestled him down against the table. Raye was in charge of holding down Waldo's head. Weighed and measured, the young shark was lifted froni the table and plunked into a strong plastic bag filled with salt water and a chemical solution. He splashed around until the bag was closed and sealed in a wooden box. The box, labeled "live shark" and addressed to Dr. Earl Herald, director of San Francisco's Stein hart Aquarium, was carried out to a truck and dispatched to Idle- wild Airport. Dakota Lad, 10, Campaign Child CHICAGO (AP) A 10-year-old North Dakota boy, born without hands or feet, has been named the 1960 National Easter Seal Child. The boy, Johnny Kemp, who has been fitted with artificial legs and hands, manages to play baseball, shoot marbles, be a Cub Scout, and get better than average grades in school. Johnny's selection was an nounced Wednesday by the Na tional Society for Crippled Chil dren and Adults from its national headquarters' in Chicago. He will go to Washington in March to meet Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, from trenches left a veneer on gravel road surfaces. "Chalk rock is probably the most unsatisfactory material that could be put on any road," Gun derson said. "In the summer it powders, into dust; in rainy sea sons it becomes a perfect lubri cant and makes road surfaces unbelievably slippery." To beat the dust last; summer, the district bought a water truck of its own and toured streets for several months. To beat the slick surfaces, the district bought sev eral thousand dollars worth of gra vel to resurface roads and drive ways. - "Both the operation of the wa ter truck and the cost of gravel surfacing has been a tremendous financial burden on the district which was not anticipated," Gun derson said. "These costs, coupled with other unanticipated costs such as extensive repairs to water and irrigation lines, have placed the district in a position of not hav ing sufficient money to finish the (Continued on Page 4-A) .

CARRIER VAL LEY FORGE (AP)-Projcct Sky hook scientists called off plans to launch another 500-foot balloon to lay because of strong winds in the upper altitudes. With only two more of the giant balloons left, they decided caution must prevail even if it extends the series of launchings beyond Friday when they had planned to end the experiments. 'Scope Provides Info On Stars WASHINGTON (AP)-A rocket- riding telescope has provided new information about the stars, says a Navy scientist. Dr. Herbert Friedman of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory said today the telescope was shot to a height of 88 miles last Nov. 17 from the White Sands, N.M., mis sile range. It was powered by an Aerobec-hi rocket.

Delegate Hints Return Of Algiers To De Gaulle ALGIERS (AP)-French troop: who have faced a rightist French settlers' insurrection passively ince Sunday were notified today they will soon get orders that must be obeyed. A cryptic broadcast by Delegate General Paul Delouvrier, Presi dent Charles dc Gaulle's top civil representative in Algeria, hinted he expected a friendly showdown that would unconditionally return Algeria "to De Gaulle and to France." If any ultimatum was involved. it was deeply veiled. The orders to ihe 500,000-man army, Delouvrier said, will be is sued by Gen. Maurice Challe, the military commander in chief. Without saying what those or ders might be, Delouvrier then announced he and Challe were quitting Algiers for a command post in the countryside. He told the leaders of the barri caded insurgents foes of De Gaulle's plan to let Algeria even lually decide its own future that he and Challe would return to At gicrs at the time which you wish," to shake hands. The orders to which Delouvrier referred presumably are from the French Cabinet. A Paris spokes man announced Wednesday the Cabinet, at a meeting presided over by De Gaulle, had approved instructions for Delouvrier and Challe. The insurgents cased the gen eral strike today and sought to whip up revolutionary fervor among the Moslem population of Algiers. The appeal to the casbah met with only partial success. A few hundred Moslem war veterans turned out to parade bctorc French colors at the barricades. Food supplies began moving in the capital and utilities began functioning in response to sympa thetic appeals to the barricaded insurgents by De Gaulle's repre sentatives. The army announced that i stale of siege and martial law- re mains in effect in the tense cap ital. : : ' But authorities lifted censorship without explanation lo let corres pondents tell the full story of the revolt since it Broke five days ago Armed insurgents still clung to Ihe barricades.

Challe stressed in his appeal that the French army was light ing to keep Algeria French a declaration that Ihe rebels have been demanding from Dc Gaulle.
