Changes Sought
In Employes
Retirement Law
By PAUL W. HARVf Y JR.
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.

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.

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.

LONDON'S WIFE DIES
! SONOMA, Calif. I Mrs. Jack
London, widow of the famed novel
ist, died Thursday night at her

leasing the American fliers and
other U. N. command personnel
held by the Chinese Communist.
He stressed, however, that. Chou
had made no proposals or laid
down any terms.
He said Chou's discussion of oth
er Questions was "entirely apart
from the question of the priso
ners." '.'No deals of any kind, nor any
link between these other questions
nd (he prisoner question, were
suggested by either side," Hamm
erskjold told rporteri.
Hammarskjold was. asked wheth
er Chou had expressed concern
over a possible attack on the Chi
nese mainland- by the United
State.
"One of the curious things about
the present world situation is that
everybody la afraid of everybody
else,1 the sec-elary general1 said:
The secretary general said the
question of 35 Chinese students de
tained in .the United States had
not been made a condition for re
lease of the American fliers.
Hammarskipld ' arrived here
Thursday night and immediately
conferred for an hour with Lodge.
Later Lodge reported to Secretary
of State Dulles, who in turn filled
in President Elsenhower.
Lodge expressed confidence
about the fliers after his talk with
Hammarskjold.
