(Paul Jenkins photo.) Conductor Johnny Meissner Retires From SP Se rvice By LAURA OLSON Staff Writer, . News-Ravltw ' Conductor R! W. (Johnny) Meis sner retired Monday. He had been a Southern Pacific employe-for JT years. , : ' The SP family in the Roseburg area gathered in the local .depot at 1 p.m. to honor Johnny. They got him and his wife to come to the depot on the pretext that some one in .San Francisco was calling. The ruse worked. Meissner is a quiet, soft-spoken man of 65 years. The accolades of his bosses and fellow workers were accepted by him in a quiet man ner. He didn't have much to say when calls came for "speech." Johnny hired out as a student brakeman for the SP Dec. 4, 1917, in Roseburg. 'He worked his way up through the trainmen ranks. At time of retirement, Meissner was conductor for Run 329. (329 is the passenger train which .runs be tween Roseburg and Ashland). Be cause the train leaves Roseburg at 3 a.m. and returns the following midnight, most of Johnny's work was at night. ' ' One thing he and his wife do look forward to is more time to travel during the day. Both said Monday they planned to do some of the travel "by car." The former conductor witnessed the switchover when the Natron Cutoff over the Cascades curtailed oassenser service through Doug las County. He recalled Monday, the time in 1918 when, as a young brakeman for Conductor Sam- Mc Connel, he helped maintain order as a orivate railroad car burned near Turner while the train sped along. No one was hurt. He was conductor in December, 1949, when 17 cars were derailed into a ditch near Wilbur "at 2 a.m. in the morning." As a conductor it was Meissner's job to see to the safety of train Council Orders Review Of Coin Operated Devices (Continued from Page One) machines are illegal." But he maintained that the lodge should be allowed to have them on the premises until "they are found il legal." "No machine should be licensed if not legal," he declared, "but the council shouldn't close the ma chines while investigating them." The other opinion came from the Rev. Ellsworth Tilton, pastor of the First Methodist Church, who advised the council that "its prov ince is to act as it sees fit." The council saw fit to keep the pinballs under wraps for the time being. A motion by Councilman Sidney C. Moon Jr. to re-open dis cussion died for lack of a second ing motion. - - City Manager George Farrell di vulged during the discussion that application for renewal of the li censes by the distributors have been made at the city recorder's office. But no action was taken an the applications. MEETING TONIGHT The women's auxiliary of the 1 Winston-DiUard Rural Fire Dent.

The committee will hold another hearing Wednesday. L The bill, by Sen. Rudie Wilhelm, rortiana nepuDiican, would cnange Portland State Extension Center into a downtown college, with au thority to grant degrees. It would be effective next September. Members of the State Board ot Higher Education told, the comit tee they would like some small changes In the bill, and Wilhelm agreed. The only objection came from F. Ellis Johnson, Salem, who said the state should expand existing Institutions instead of creating new ones. Portland State now has 2.340 stu dents. A single state liquor adminis trator, to replace the ihree-man liquor commission, will be asked in a bill prepared by Sen. Robert D. Holmes, Gearhart Democrat. The administrator would get $12,- 000 a year. The battle over power started In, the House Committee on State and Federal Affairs, which met to consider a memorial to ask the federal government to build John Day Dam, either itself or through a partnership plan. Democrats objected to this pro posal, endorsed by Gov. Paul L Patterson. They want the partner ship part left out.

Wheels Of Legislature Start Rolling In Salem (Continued On Page 2 Col. 1) " it will be used as political dyna mite against the controlling party. On the other hand if more money is raised it is pretty likely that there will be wide-spread griping among the citizenry because no one likes to pay more taxes. And that griping is going to be skilfully directed against the party in pow er, if possible. So it looks as though there will be rough sledding in the near future for the unfortunate people who are responsible for try ing to steer our state along a more troubled course. The sentiment generally express ed around here is not against a sales tax. But it is against a legis latively sponsored sales tax. Main ly because the people have reject ed one five times. It is pretty much the opinion of legislators that the people who stand to gain by a sound state budget are the N ones who should sponsor a state sales tax and that therein lies the only chance for successfully promoting one in this state. Somehow it is always rather difficult to interest any one in the idea of paying more' taxes sufficiently to rouse him into collecting names on a pe tition on street corners , Time will tell and I suppose someone may come along and pull a rabbit out of the hat and salvage Oregon and incidentally simplify the political future of a good many concerned people.
