At Pendleton, the courthouse precinct reported 44 votes at 10:30 m. which was only 10 less than the number cast by noon two vears ago. There was keen interest in the legislative race and a tix levy there which may have been responsible for the 44.

Underwriters Endorse Social Security Change The Umpqua Basin Life Under writers Assn. has endorsed the program of the national organiza tion toward proposed revisions of the Social Security system, re- ?i" riS. the local members at the Ump qua Hotel Thursday. Underwriters take the position, Carter states, that the Social Se curity system was designed to pro vide a "basic minimum" subsis tence level. New proposals, it is contended, tend to replace the "basic minimum" theory with an "adequate" policy by means of "natch-work revisions." Increases in benefits, it is contended by the underwriters, "will carry the So cial Security program out of the area of basic needs and invade the field of private savings plans." Favorne extension of Social Security coverage to all gainfully employed persons, and advocating liberalization of the work clause, underwriters, Carter reports, in surance people contend that pro. posed changes would result in pro portionately nigner increases in benefits to retired workers in the higher income brackets rather than to tnose n tne lower wage groups. This, he said, is a further deviation from the basic minmum needs concept. The life insurance agents believe that if increased benefits are necessary at this time, they should be provided pri- SEr wage le'vcis, marly for retired workers in Hie UNDER OBSERVATION A 28-year-qld man arrested by city police Wednesday night on a disorderly conduct charge volun tarily committed himself to the Veterans Administration Hospital for observation, according to Po lice Chief Stan Olson.
