SALEM UR Widespread changes were sought in Oregon's publie em ployes retirement law in a bill in troduced in the Oregon Legisla ture Thursday. The bill, 46 pages long, carries out recomendations of an interim committee that has studied the subject since the 1953 Legislature went home. The measure was in troduced by the Joint Ways and Means Committee of tho Legisla ture. The retirement law was given an overhauling two years ago, and now is in for some more changes. Under the law passed '.wo years ago, the retirement program was changed so that public employes also could draw federal social se curity benefits. The new bill proposes 15 major changes,, attempting to carry out a provision that employe, at age 65, would get retirement pay equal to half of their salaries. It would reduce costs for low salaried employes, and also reduce benefits slightly for persons retir ing at those salaries. ; Employes in higher brackets, in eluding those in professional class as, would get bigger benefits and pay more for them. It also provides that when a county, city, school district or oth er subdivision comes under the plan, it can't withdraw. The Legislature appeared head ed for a showdown fight over whether John Day Dam should be built by the federal government, or in a partnership between the government and state ind private power agencies. Eighteen House Democrats Intro duced a memorial Thursday call ing for construction wholly- by the government. They will oppose the memorial asking for construction either by the government or by partnership. This latter memorial is supported by Gov. Paul Patterson, and is scheduled for House action next week. Three bills tightening up the laws requiring fathers, to support their children also were introduced. They would increase the jail sen tences in non-support cases, and require that men convicted under the law would work out .their sen tences at .the .proposed, reforma tory. Then, if they refused to work, the governor could transfer th:m to the penitentiary.

Rl 2S the Medford programs would be from the air, with micro waves not being utilized for transmission. The area in which "city service" signals could be picked up with only basic antenna would be bounded roughly by Canyonville. Tenmile, Elkton, Cottage Grov and Tiller. "A service" would extend to Glendale, Bridge, Scottsburg, Go shen and Diamond Lake. "B serv ice" would include Ashland, Ophir, most ol! Coos County, Waldport, Corvallis, Sweet Home, und would take In Crescent and Chiloquin In central Oregon. ... The areas are included in en gineering information made avail able to the FCC in the company's proposal ' to broadcast. Viewers would need more complex tele vision antennas in the "A" and B" areas. 1 - In its initial stages, Smullin said, it is anticipated that expansion will follow the lines taken in Med ford, where the company built its first TV station, KBES-TV. There network programs were broad cast until enough television sets were in use to warrant sales in advertising.' Then local programs were em phasized, with a studio being open ed in Medford. A possible pattern for TV hern is in the company's operation m Eureka, Calif. Network programs are picked up in' Curry County from KBES-TV and micro-waved 10 Eureka. A studio has been built there for "broadcast of local pro grams. The California station , is KIEM-TV, channel 3.'."' If the application is approved by the FCC, shows on all four major networks will be made available ! to this area. KBES-TV is affiliat ed with Columbia Broadcasting System, but contracts for pro grams from National Broadcast ing Co., American Broadcasting Co. and the DuMont Network are made. . . , . At first, according to company's application, Medford programs may be designed for consumption here, with Douglas County event) possibly being features. Call letters haven't been chosen for the proposed station, Smullin said. The station will cost an es timated $109,000 to construct, and anticipated revenues in the firsl year of operation would be about $60,000. Probable cost of operation the first year would be 558,000. Smullin is a veteran in commu nications. He was a newspaper- j man until 1933, when he started in radio In Eureka. In 1939, he joined I with Amos Voorhies of Grants Pass ' to form the Southern Oregon ' Broadcasting Co., and the firm and its affiliates now run two tele vision and two radio stations. i B36 Bombers Back From Guam OMAHA m Giant B36 inter continental bombers of the Stra tegic Air Command (SAC) were engaged in a trans-Pacific ex change of bases Friday. One flight of the big bombers landed at Fairchild - Air : Force base, Spokane, Wash., its home base, late Thursday after a 23-hour and 55 minute flight from Guam. and another flieht was to take off from Guam Friday to complete the return of the 92nd Bombardment Wing from a three-month tour of duty in Guam, a SAC spokesman said, .i . , At the same time a flight of B.16's from the 5th Strategic Rc connaiaance Wing was en roule from Travis Air Force base, Calif., its home station, to replace the 92nd in Guam. This wing also is moving in two flights, with second flight yet to take off. The exchange, in the first simul taneous trans-Pacific movement of two B36 units, is part of the SAC policy of rotation of its units to foreign base. Sinvlsr flights have been made to and from bases In England and Africa both by B36 and B17 all-jet medium bomber wings. , , .:- ' , V,. iitifoicAtt, FLEGEL Transfer & Storage- Phone 3-4436 Employment Low During December In Roseburg Area Employment in the Roseburg ar ea experienced its usual drop in December, according to George Foster, manager of the local of fice of the Oregon State Employ met Service. In a statement released this week, Foster said the drop came as a result of shutdows for the holiday season. Bad weather fore-1 ed other layoffs, he added. . j The manager did not foresee any marked changes in the em ployment picture locally in the im mediate future.- Some lumber firms now shut down are expected to re-open this month, he laid. In other areas of employment, Foster said road construction in the county eame to a virtual stand still with a single exception. The exception was work on new High way 99 from Booth Ranch to Myr tle Creek. Work also continued on some bridges in. the county. ' Trade and service Industries felt a post-Christmas letdown during January, the manager added. He expects return to normal soon. Meanwhile, unemployment i laim ants were 40 per cent fewer than during December of 1953. Foster noted fewer claimants have ex hausted their maximum benefits than at the same time last year. Job prospects were brighter. More than four times as many jobs were available in December 1954, than last year. He foresees no great demand for workers for 30 to 60 days, but added the situa tion should improve after that.

Hammarskjold was. asked wheth er Chou had expressed concern over a possible attack on the Chi nese mainland- by the United State.
