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been replaced by the profiteer."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.

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

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.

"Chalk rock is probably the

To beat the dust last; summer,
the district bought a water truck

several months. To beat the slick
surfaces, the district bought sev
eral thousand dollars worth of gra

"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

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

Miserable
LONDON ll'PP - For some
people there are ordeals by fire.
For others there are ordeals by
torture. For George Marcel By-
croft it was ordeal by love.
For two years Gloria Smith, 35,
relentlessly pursued him. For two
years the 38-year-old hotel keeper
lought, struggled and wept in his
efforts to be free.
He got out court injunctions
seeking to restrain her from lav
ishing her attention on him. She
replied by clipping love poems out
of newspapers and mailing them
to him.
He set private dclcctivos to
work to keep the former Royal
Air Force sergeant at bay. But
she slipped through the guards
and the $360 he paid them was
of no avail.
He had her arrested but still
she pursued him.
He had her arrested twice more
But she would not give up. .
On Sunday Gloria came to his
hotel red-eyed from weeping only
to find out he had fled to see his
sister in Croydon, outside London
Gloria got his phone number
from the hotel and called him at
his sister's house.
That night George Marcel By-
croft thought the coast was clear
and returned to the hotel. There
was she, sleeping in his bed. He
had her evicted. She came back.
For the fourth time Bycroft re
sorted to court action. The court
listened to his lamentations and
sentenced Gloria to four months
in jail.
But Bycroft's troubles are not
over. The sentence was in absen
