House Sends Arrest Bill To Senate SALEM (UPD A measure de scribed as "a major step forward in traffic enforcement" passed the Oregon House 47-13 Tuesday and went to the Senate. It is the bill for "arrest on probable cause." It means an officer could arrest a person at the scene of an acci dent without actually witnessing the accident. It is aimed at drunken molorists found staggering around at acci dent scenes when officers arrive. Officers believe they cannot ar rest such persons on drunk driv ing charges under the present law. Thus, they usually are charg ed with the far less severe of fense of being drunk on the street. Reps. Berkeley Lent, D-Port-land, and James Redden, D-Med-ford, objected that the bill really went no further than the present law, although officers feel they need the additional legislation. Lent said it has become "a ques tion of morale for law enforce ment officers." More Arn-sls Seen He said it would lead only to more arrests, not convictions, since the burden of proof for the prosecution would remain un changed. The measure is one of a pack age of traffic safety measures urged by the governor. The others include bills that would require a scat belt in a new car, make con sent to a chemical test for alcohol implicit in taking a driver's li cense, and set speed limits. The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill to let a state wide teacher's organisation initi ate action against a member teacher, now reserved to school administrators. Sponsors said it was aimed at situations where a superintendent lets an offending teacher resign quietly and move to another dis trict. Opponents said it would become a tool in interorganizational rival ry between the two teachers' groups the Oregon Education As sociation and the Oregon Federa tion of Teachers. . The House also approved and sent to the Senate a bill to require election of county commissioners by position instead of at large. "I suppose ha could become an astronaut. He does most of his work on his back." Gap Noted In Figures SACRAMENTO (UPD-Assem-blyman Robert W. Crown Tues-, day stepped into a dispute . be tween State Finance Director Hale Champion and the State Chamber of Commerce. crown, chairman ot tne As sembly Ways and Means Commit- lee, made public a letter from Champion estimating the state's general fund revenue at $2.2 mil lion for fiscal 1004-64. But Champion conceded the es timate was based on the assump tions that there would be no in ternational crisis, Congress would adopt the federal tax reduction urogram now under consideration, and the legislature would approve Gov, Edmund G. Brown's tax re form program. At tile same time, the state of ficial said the expenditure did not Consider new or expanded programs." Champion also estimated that the budget would be balanced without new or increased tuxes, Crown pointed out that t h e State Chamber of Commerce had forecast a "gap" between reven ues and exHnditures and that Champion had challenged the fig ures. "We can now see that the dis agreement between tlic forecasts of the department (of finance and the Chamber of Commerce is almost exclusively In the area of future expenditures," said Crown. Nonsecret Publication Upsets Senate Probers WASHINGTON (UPII - Air Force Secretary Eugene M. Zuck- crt has been questioned by the Air Force inspector-general in an extraordinary Pentagon investiga-l tion to learn who provided a non secret document to a reporter, it was disclosed Tuesday. Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Sylvester said several other Pentagon officials not only had been asked for written an swers under oath but had been asked whether lliey wore willing to take lie detector tests. Sylvester attributed the unusual, widespread inquiry into the source of a non-secret paper to the fact that e Senate subcommittee in vestigating the TFX airplane con tract was "highly exercised" by its publication in the Washington Evening Star. The document was a memoran dum prepared by an Air Force officer who contended some wit nesses in the Senate investigation had been subjected to pressure tactics and oral aluise by staff members of the subcommittee. Sylvester was asked at a news conference whether all this fuss was about the publication of an unclassified 1 non-secret) docu ment. ' "I wouldsav so." he replied The inquiry was ordered by"Do fonse Secretary Hubert S. Me- Namaoa. He told Sen. John "L, McClcllan's investigating subcom mittee recently that publication of tlus document was damaging and that he had sought to sup press it, locking his copy in a safe. Sylvester said McNamara ap parently was not "aware of how many copies were circulating. Reds Shoot At Aircraft BERLIN (UPD - Soviet jet fighter planes fired "four or five bursts ot warning shots in an unsuccessful attempt to force a private plane being flown in the Berlin air corridor by a British television star to land in East Germany, a British spokesman said Tuesday. The pilot, Canadian-born televi sion star Hughie Green, refused to obey landing instructions from two Soviet jet fighters and flew safely into West Berlin. One ot the jets fired "four or five bursts of shots close to Green's plane when he ignored landing signals," the spokesman said. None of the shots hit the air craft. The British lodged a strong pro test with the Soviets, the spokes man said. ' y '-.! j He said the British were mysti fied by the Soviet action since Green had filed a proper flight plan and had not strayed out of the corridor. Disguised Girl Tries Bank Theft ATLANTA (UPD - A brunette whose cowboy disguise failed to hide completely her shapely figure yesterday was arrested at the en trance to a bank police said she planned to rob.

Wednesday, April 3, mi FOREIGN NEWS COMMENTARY Socialist Front Shows Gain in Western Europe Politics LONDON 'UP! 1 Recent shifts to the political left have conjured up the specter of a "Socialist front" in Western Europe that might act in solidarity, as did the Catholic Christian Democrats in the years after the war. In Britain where the Conserva tive government of Prime Minis ter Harold Macmilian is bard pressed, the Laborites have been gaining ground steadily and are at present confident they can win the next general election. In West Germany Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's Christian Democrats have suffered losses to the Socialists in West Berlin and, more recently, in the Rhine land, one of their strongholds. In Italy leftist advances are predicted in the forthcoming elec tions. Swing Toward Left Nowhere in the major Western European countries have the So cialists so far taken over power, but political observers see an orientation of Europe towards the left in the near future. This prospect has set off specu lation that a Socialist front might be welded in Western Europe. Such a front, it is said, would align Labor in Britain with So- Philco Bendix and Norge Sales - Service See the New Philco -Bendix Combination Washer and Dryer NOW IN STOCK! J. W.

Past experience has shown, however, that labor leaders in Europe appear more closely in tune when out of power than when in government. British Reluctance Ernest Bevin, Britain's one time foreign secretary and a formidable figure in the Labor government of the 1950s, was re luctant to lead Britain into Europe when Socialists on the continent were clamoring for a united Europe.
