It didn't make any substantial changes in milk control, and the city of Portland ia angry because the legislature deprived the city of the right to inspect ita own milk. GAM! ' The sportsmen took a beating. They lost their bills to transfer game law enforcement from the state police to the game commis sion, end to close the Alsea, Siu slaw and Coquille rivers to com mercial fishing. They got in the doghouse when a ways and meant subcommittee accused the game commission of negligence and mis management. The bouse bill to in crease the five-man game commis sion to seven members died in the senate game committee. LIQUOR Nothing wat done except to le- falize sale of liquor to Indians, he Multnomah county grand jury asked for better enforcement of liquor laws, a paid liquor commis sion, and elimination of gambling in beer taverns. But the legisla ture rejected all these items. The Senate asked for a legislative in terim committee to keep Its eye on the liquor commission the next two years, but the House buried the proposal.

PENSIONS The public welfare budget wat increased, and the legialature de feated a move to abolish the law umler which the atate has prior claims against ettatea of deceased pensioners. The relative respon sibility law withstood its first leg islative attack. VETERANS ' The legislature paved the way for payment of the veterans bonus, beginning about October IS. Fi nancial aid for veterans attending college waa extended to veterans of the Korean war. They alto would get farm and home loans under a proposed constitutional amendment referred to the people, other billt passed do these things set up a state civil defense or ganization with $379,600 to tpend for equipment, establish convict camps for reforestation, let the people decide whether to build a 3,000,000 hospital for aged pa tients in the Portland area, ban fireworks, repeal the ban on inter racial marriage, create a ttate fair commission, have license plates made at the prison, let the state make a start on the air no tation problem, ban self-service gasoline stations, amend the con stitution to make the ttate emer gency board legal, require licens ing of auction houses and second hand stores to stop traffic in stolen goods, give Multnomah county two more circuit judges, add a circuit judge for Marion county, and an other one for the four northwest Oregon counties.

Legislative Assemblies, Like Old Soldiers, Just Fade Away By ESTHER GEDDES Friday was moving day at the House of Representatives!. It'i a strgnfre Right to see the desks piled high with books, papers, waste baskets and all the paraphernalia which ac cumulates during; 116 days with a solitary figure here and there dispiritedly packing the odds and ends into cartons. The galleries are empty but echoing through the empty halls seems to come a tumult of pounding gavels and voices clamoring, "Mr. Speaker,", "I object", "I move the pre vious question." And it is a sad thought that never again will the same group of individuals ever convene within these Vets From Korea Debark At Seattle SEATTLE (JP) America's i first army fighting men to return Irom Korea on rotation came home ! because of his many terms in the todty 1.502 ttrong and were j legislature) finally made the mo given t blow-off -the-lid reception tion to adiourn at tix o'clock by a grateful people.

"I believe these increments would be readily available without prejudice to any other area or oper ation that is in contemplation," he added. . What is necessary, MacArthur argued, "it to release the power we now possets to that it can be utilized." He noted that the preparedness program goal it expected to be reached in about two years. "During that time," MacArthur laid, "those forces can be usetl in Korea without prejudice to their ultimate use some place else merely aa a basis of training or something of the tort. "They would be quite available if the projected program is only going to reach itt completion and its fruition at tome future date of two yean or 18 months, what ever it may be." Marshall Te Testify They expect to call Secretary of Defense Marshall after complet ing their questioning of MacArthur. Other military figures also are to be heard. Marshall, who may get into the witness chair on Monday, has been mentioned repeatedly by Mac Arthur. Yesterday. MacArthur tes tified he understood Marshall, des pite a different view by the joint chiefs of staff, had taken the po sition that turning Formosa over to the Chinese Communists and ad mission of Red China to the United Nations might properly be dis cussed in any Korean peace con ference. But MacArthur said he did not believe that would ever be accepted aa U. S. policy. Fired Agents Denounce State Liquor Commission PORTLAND (.V) Two state liquor agents, fired from their jobs yesterday, bitterly denounced t h e Oregon Liquor commission today. A third man, also discharged, re mained silent. Both Donald A. Schmidt and Lloyd J. Brice, license inspectors, asserted they were fired because they testified in the recent grand jury investigation of the commis - ion. Both indicated their testimony was not favorable to the commis- sion. Schmidt, at the time he ap- wared before the grand jury, pre- dieted he would lose his job as a result. Thomas Sheridan, assistant ad ministrator for the commission, laid the two were discharged for conduct which "discredited the tervice."

Such changes as the legalization of col ored oieo will not appear until taal date. This, the longest session in Ore gon history, has undoubtedly been the most momentous. More major pieces of legislation have been con siuered anu acieu upon, me uirfj lights of the session have been: t. it setting up of a ttate department of finance and administration at an outferowui o, uii I..,, i.- . commission" (calculated to effect an euiciency oi goveruujeui wutcu will eventually tave the state many milliona of dollars: the working out of an extensive highway program which will inevitably affect the lives, of all Oregonians; a compre hensive and far-reaching re organ ization of the school system of Ore Son, (based on the recommenda tions of Dr. Holy, this his become one of the most controversial sub jects in the state); the serious be ginnings ot a simpliiicauii ie ttate tax system; and strides taken to recodify the entire body of Ore gon laws.
