CORKRUM MOTORS 111 NORTH ROSE- Lawmakers Maligned In Milk Hearing Issue (Continued (rom page One) tee hearings could be conducted in such a manner as to question wit nscs privately (with the p:Jts allowed to report on proceedings), instead of turning a hearing into a mass meeting. However, as more than 500 people turned nut for the hearing on milk control, it was fortunate lhat arrangements had been made (or the use of Waller hall on the Willamette campus across the street, as it would have been most unsatisfactory on lie floor of the I House. Since that controversy about holding hearings arose, a resolution I has been passed against having any hearings in the hall n repre jsentatives this session due to the , unsatis(actory arrangement o( the hall. Thus the Representatives hope to clear up any question of show ing prejudice against any group. Another obiection to using this hall (or hearings came (rom the (act that when a crowd is atlmittrd to the legislative halls, often the legislators are considerably incon venienced by the tampering done with their desks and materials. Someone objecting to thia objection slated that these materials be longed to the people of the state anyhow. That it true. But it is the entire taxpaying public who must replace and supply materials (or the legislator and it-is hartlly fair to burden the people at large for damage that may be inflicted by a small group to the state properly. So perhaps even from that point of view it it better to conduct I hearings in a hall intended for public gatherings. Switchmen Quit On "Sick" Excuse By Tha Associated Pru An undetermined number of rail road switchmen of at least four j railroads two in Detroit and ! two in Chicago stayed away from work today, reporting in "sick," carrier spokesmen said.! The "sick" calls appeared to fol-j low the pattern of last December's work stoppage when some 10,000 yard workers staged what Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen offieals termed a "wildcat" strike at key ; terminals. Some switchmen failed to report1 for work at the Chesapeake & Ohio' and the Wabash in Detroit, and the j Santa Fe and Chicago belt line in Chicago. Last month's crippling strike at the peak o( the Christmas mail ing rush ended after three days without any settlement in a lengthy wage dispute. The more than 10.000 yard work ers who walked out last month, returned In work Dec. 1(1 after pressure from President Truman, the federal courts and their own union officials. The wage dispute still Is not settled. Vital Statistics Marriage Licenses SMITII-ENGI.ER Tom Smith, Sutherlin, and Odena Faye Engler, Oakland.
