Postage Rata Hikes Asked By Summerfield (Continued from Page O e) certain fringe benefits, this would mount to at least 170 millions a year, the Post Office Department said. Previous Veto Cited Last year Congress went along with President Elsenhower on a postal pay raise but ignored his companion propossal for higher mail charges designed to bring in compensating revenue. Eisenhow er then vetoed the pay raise bill. Earlier this month, Eisenhower renewed his bid for higher postal salaries and rates. SummerficM'; bills spell out the administration's general proposals in detail. The Post Office Department said in a statement that "despite recent economies and greater ef ficiency," it now operates at a loss of between 300 million and 400 mil lion dollars a year. Summerfield estimated an in crease from 6 to 7 cents for the first ounce on air mail letters would bring in an additional 14 million dollars a year. lie also asked an increase of 15 per cent on second-class mail -- mos''v nawspaoers and masa zines, for two successive years, -Hdint 8' million annually, and 28 per cent on third class mail, aHverHsing matter and small merchandise packages, adding 73 million. 4.95 w Election Or Appointment To Jobs Oregon Issue (Continued from Page One J in our complicated civilization iven elective officers are not truly known by the people but are often elected oecause tney taiK louder and more often than their oppon ents. The move to take the Motor ;Ve bicle Department away from the oeooiary oi oiaie's oflice and make it an independent depart ment, with a head appointed by the governor, is another trend to ward coordinating the executive of fice with its tuncuoning agencies, There has long been a move in the nation to make judgeships less dependent on political campaigns and billboards and more closely tied into the record and ability of tne jurist involved. On the other hand, there is a bill in to make the Public Utilities Commissioner an elective office and not subject to appointment, and today a bill was dropped in to make the clerk of the Supreme Court elective. This last one must have a purpose, but it eludes me, as it pertains to an office in which a man s legal knowledgo and per sonality are vital factors and should be subject to the considered choice of the judges who depend on mm. h ; " . . If we trust our governor, we can iurcly trust him to make sensible appointments or at least so say all of us who happen to approve of the present governor. Perhaps we might feel differently if the "man of our choice" weren t in the driver s seat. (HUGH? I am a trained Sonotone Hearing Aid Consultant.

HEARING CENTER ROSE HOTEL Roseburg, Oregon Jan. 26 1-7 P.M. Columbia Basin Pact Tilt Facet Legislature - (.Continued from Page One) government and local agenciei, will support it. The opponent! claim that Ore gon would end up by getting less power and water than the other states in the compact, Tracks, Railroads Tilt Another scrap, - between the truckers and the railroads, be came further involved when Rep. Ernest E. Sehrenk, Creswell, intro duced a bill to prohibit the public utilities commissioner from putting a floor under any freight rates, It would allow him to continue to put a ceiling on rates. The result would be that any trucker or railroad could reduce rates any time they wanted to. The PUC now fixes all rates for trucks, but he has no .control over the minimum rates for railroads, The truckers already are spon soring i bill to let the PUC regu late the railroad minimum rates. Truckert say this bill is needed to prevent the railroads from under cutting them and driving them out of business. Schrenk's bill is approved by the railroads, but not by the truckers. Sehrenk said his bill would bring new industries to Oregon by re ducing freight rates. The railroads say that the PUC shouldn't regulate the minimum rates because the federal Inter state Commerce Commission regu lates minimum rates. A new bill by Rep. Orval Eaton. Astoria, would give the governor $25,000 for expenses of the Lewis and Clark sesquicentenmal, being observed this year.
