I suspect from your handwriting

to know that another warm-hearted

Nurses' Pay Hike
Expected To Boost
Hospital Rates
PORTLAND, April II (.Vl
Oregon hospital rates may go up
SI. 50 a day on July 1.
That was the prediction of Ralph
Nelson, chairman of the Portland
Council of hospitals. He said the
Oregon Hospital association plant
to boost nurses' pay from $190
to $210 a month at that time.
That increase is expected to
bring an approximate 10 percent
boost in pay for non-professional
workers, too.
The only way hospitals can meet
the increase, Nelson, said, it to
raise the price of hospital rooms.
He pointed out that the pay in
crease must be made in individual
hospital action, but recommenda
tions of the Hospital association
and the Nurses' association are ex
pected to be adopted generally.

Grange Master
Says Game Board
Misused Funds
PORTLAND, April 11. (.W
A game commission agent's attack
on reclamation proposal! for the
Rogue river drew a countercharge
yetterday from Stale Grange Mat
ter Morton Tompkins.
The Grange leader charged the
commission- with misuse of public
fundt in financing an attack on the
river project. Tompkins said state
policy on the reclamation program
had been established by the 1949
legislature. He said the commis
sion wat "geting out of its field"
in matters of policy.
Tompkins' statementt were in
the current issue of the Oregon
Grange bulletin. They referred to
a recent article written by Cote
Riven, field agent for the state
game commission in the Rogue
river district. The article, pub
lished with state fundt, opposed the
to-called "plan A" reclamation for
the upper Rogue basin,
Tompkins said the 1949 legisla
ture had passed an enabling act to
allow the federal bureau of recla
mation to build a dam on the
stream. He noted that two grange
state conventions had supported the
program and that available evi
dence indicated the dam'a up-river
site would not seriously affect fish
runs.
The Grange leader said sports
men had failed in one referendum
move against the 19.19 act.

Indicate Congress Will
Cut 'Fair Deal' Outlay
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, April 11. r.Tn
President Truman gets a report
from Senate Democratic leaders to
day indicating he may have to set
tle for a half-loaf of his "fair deal"
program in the present Congress.
Senator Iicas of Illinois, the ma
jority leader, and Vice President
Barkley were invited to a White
House conference to bring the
President up to date on Congress'
mid-session schedule.
In advance of the tession Lucas
told a reporter the Senate probably
will have time to handle only about
eight major issues if Congress quits
July 31. as he taid he hopes it will.
The Illinois senator listed these:
1. Approval of the omnibus money
bill now ready for House action.
2. Passage of a foreign aid meas
ure. 3. Approval of a House-passed
social security bill.
4. Action on an excise tax re
duction measure.
5. Extension of rent control.
a. An effort to get action on a
fair emplovment practices com
mission (FEPC) bill.
7. Approval of a second year's
foreign arms aid program.
8. Disposal of a Republican at
tack on a rMrffanimtinn rtnior
I transferring powers of the National
I Labor Relations board counsel to
the board a chairman.
Brannan Plan Excluded
Lucas didn'J jay. so but h'm list
left out in the April cold several
major "fair deal" proposals. These
included the Brannan farm plan,
compulsory health insurance, fed
eral aid to education, Taft-Hartley
repeal, international trade organi
zation charter approval, expansion
of unemployment coverage and ex
tension of the military draft.
There seemed some doubt, also,
that Mr. Truman would find on his
desk before Congress adiourna the
kind of a tax hill he wants or any
ind of an FEPC bill.
I Lucat and others were reported
' working on a compromise which
I might salvage a year's extension
of rent controls with local communi
tiea ordered to decide by referenda
within the year whether to continue
the ceilings.
The House wtyt tnd meant com
mittee has yet to clear a tax bill.
But all of the signs point to a re
duction in excise Iveiet without
any attempt to get the extra Sl.ooo.
ono.ono in revenue Mr. Truman said
should he raised by closing some
loopholes.
