Our Maurine, who is a Demo crat, didn't go so far as lo say she would VOTE for Senator Margaret Chase Smith, who is a Republican, but she did say she thinks the only other fe male Senator should "take a fling" at going after the Presi dential nomination. She added: "A female President is IN EVITABLE some time, and I can't think of a better person to pioneer than Margaret Chase Smith. She has a long record of legislative experience. She is an able member of the Senate, and she was an able member of the House before she was elected to the Senate." A woman Chief Executive? It's admittedly a new idea in our country. But it isn't a new idea in the world especially in the English-speaking world. In the six and a half cen turies from the Norman con quest in lOtft until the union with Scotland in 1707, England had 32 rulers. From the Scot tish Union until now, there have been 11 rulers of Great Britain a total of 43. including Elizabeth II, the present queen. Of these rulers, five Mary, Elizabeth I. Anne, Victoria and Elizabeth II have been wom en. Many historians regard Victoria as perhaps England's GREATEST ruler. Elizabeth I also ranks pretty high in the list of England's great rulers. Russia's history is not too clear and plain, but three cm presses appear in it two Cath erines and an Elizabeth. Catherine I was the wife of Peter the Great, who more or less put Russia together in the first place. After Peter's .'oath, she became Empress of )u s s i a. Her parents were PEASANTS. They died when she was three years old. She married a dragoon, and when he died Peter took her to wife. When he died she became cm press. One of their two daugh ters. Elizabeth, later was em press. And there w as Catherine the Great. She was a German princess. She married Peter, a nephew of Elizabeth II, who later became Peter III. When he died, she became Empress of Russia. She was one of the Russian greats. So- Ynu see Women rulers have been no novelty in the world. Maybe the idea of a woman President isn't so bizarre, after all.

"Unwittingly, foolishly." said Yale Prof. Frederick C. Barg hoorn, "I took it and put it in my coat pocket. . .almost simul taneously a couple of men grabbed me and took me to an auto." Thus, with the oldest and crudest form of espionage "framcup." began Barghoorn's 16-day ordeal in a Russian pris on. He told the story to news men Tuesday after reporting it in detail to the State Depart ment. In view of the incident. U.S. officials said they were still un decided when cultural exchange talks could be resumed with Russia in the absence of a So viet agreement on treatment of arrested persons. But Barghoorn told newsmen, "I hope that this experience that I have had will not destroy the possibilities of continuing these exchanges." . Recollection Is Fuzzy The 52-year-old head of Soviet studies at Yale told newsmen he remembered little about the young man who stopped him in front of Moscow's Mctropole Hotel about 7:23 p.m. Oct. 31 and asked. "Are you an Ameri can citizen?" . He half remcmhprcd that the man spoke in English, but he wasn't sure. He recalled that as lie accepted the papers he thought they must be some kind of propaganda material. Barghoorn said he was hand cuffed and taken first to a po lice station and then to prison.

The Republicans said NATO unity had been sapped by "the efforts of the administration to secure a 'detente' or an 'ac commodation' between t h e United States and the Soviet Union." They also said the NATO al lies should be cut in on the re cently inaugurated Washington Moscow "hot line" to eliminate suspicion of possible secret talks.

The House this afternoon was scheduled to act on a bill to eliminate capital construction projects, cut basic school aid, and trim agency budgets. Tlie cutbacks w ere lumped in to one bill, and approved 10-3 Tuesday night by the Ways and Means Committee after a full day of searching to find a way to skirt constitutional blocks raised by Ally. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. Thornton, in two separate opinions, said the governor could not make selective agency cuts, and that a bill to cut basic school aid which had already cleared the House raised serious constitutional questions. In meetings with Ways and Means members Tuesday, Thornton pointed out the separa tion of powers of the legislature, executive and judicial was de manded in the state constitution, and could not be broken down. no matter how severe the stale's fiscal crisis. The compromise that was fi nally reached calls for the leg islature' to adopt budget cuts as outlined bv Gov. Mark Hatfie'd in his austerity program as "al lotment reductions." If additional funds become available later, the Emergency Board made up of legislators will have authority to release money for whatever projects it wishes. In effect, the plan wipes out $18 million in capital construc tion and salary hikes, trims $17 million from agency budgets, and cuts basic school aid by Y! million.

On tlie Boardman crisis, Hal field said "it's not a matter of asking for more money, wo want to meet legal technicali ties." He said "I have no reserva tions whatever" on Boeing Com pany's lease for the 100.000-acra industrial site in northeastern I and $1.3 for community college construction next year if the bonds are approved. Senate President Ben Musa said if no unexpected hitches developed, he hoped tlie special Education Confidence SALEM (UPI I - Higher edu cation, accused of handling some of its money loosely, won a 10-1 vole of confidence Tuesday from the House Tax Committee. The vote came on a resolution that would have directed the State Board of Higher Education to change its mind and freeze tuitions and entrance require ments at their present level. 'he committee killed the Son- atc-issed resolution. Tlie vote came after Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. ac cused the system of casual ac counting practices and Chancel lor It. E. Licuallen defended It. Tlie implications of tlie hear ing, and tlie vote, were broader than the scope of the resolution that brought the matter to a head. Pearson Sought Resolution The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Port- land. an outspoken critic of higher education, would have frozen tuition fees and admis sion standards at their present levels for the rest of the bien- nium ending in mid-1065. The board has planned to raiso both next year as part of an $8 million adjustment in its $82 million budget for tho bien tiium. Pearson said higher education should economize In other areas instead of increasing tuition or turning away some students. next tail. iPearson Is representative of a group of legislators who have repeatedly bemoaned the relative independence of higher educa tion from legislative controls. At Pearson's suggestion, tho commilteo called Appling, whose office has been auditing higher education's fiscal prac tices for about 10 months. Appling said tlie system lias handled some of its money, casually, and even improperly. Appling's criticism, however, focused on tlie areas of re search, construction bond fund ing, and (lie charging of costs to various funds in tlie system. He failed to find any fault with the bulk of spending which takes place in the general col lego system. Licuallen refuted most of Ap pling's points, although he agreed that general accounting procedures need modernizing.

Asked to comment on appar ent reservation voiced by Trea surer Howard Bellon and Secre tary of State Howell Appling Jr., Hatfield noted "they both have voted for it in board meetings, and both have signed the lease." "I am anxious to be identi fied with the Boardman project. It was my idea, and the day Is not far off when everyone in volved will be mighty proud to have had a part in Hie project," he said. He said groundbreaking cere monies at Boardman had been scheduled for Monday, but were canceled after tlie special legis lative session began when Boe ing' attorney refused, at the sssion could end late today or toniglrt. At Tuesday night's Ways and Means meeting, three attempts to move a legislative pay cut bill to the house were defeated.

Denied tliat the salaries of research investigators were Im properly supplemented. Licuallen disagreed with Ap pling that controls should cen ter in the chancellor and the board. But lie said guidelines should be established for better exercise of control over spend ing by various institutions. Licuallen said approval of the resolution, would be "a tragedy for tlie system." He said it would not just put a limit on tuition and admission levels, but would tell tlie sys tem that tlie legislature en dorsed Pearson's views and charges. Tlie only committee member voting to keep tlie resolution alive was Rep. Berkeley Lent, D-Portland.
