Insurance Agents
To Fight Holmes1
Compulsory Plan
PORTLAND I The compul
sory automobile insurance plan of
uov. noDen u. Holmes will be
fought by the Oregon Assn. of
Insurance Agents.
Herbert A. Ballin Jr., association
president, said that Saturday in
reply to the governor's proposal.
Ballin, who said his association
represents agents writing 65 per
cent of all property damage insur
ance in the state, said compulsory
insurance isn't the answer to the
problem.
The governor last week said
many persons were injured or suf
fered financial loss in automobile
accidents in which the other
driver was not insured and had
no money to pay. He said he would
ask the 1959 Legislature to pass a
law requiring all motorists to
carry insurance.
Ballin said the result of such a
law would be higher rates, in
creased litigation and political tur
moil. Further, he said, it would
not protect motorists against
people from out of the state, from
hit-run drivers, or from drivers of
stolen cars.
He suggested that motorists
already can buy insurance which
protects them in case the other
driver is not insured.
Oregon Needs No New

Long Abandoned Lighthouse
Still Holds Warm Spot
Br FRANK W. VAILLI '
WASHINGTON Ml That long
abandoned lighthouse on the Co-
quille River still fills a warm spot
in the hearts ol Bandon, Ore.,
residents across the river.
This was apparent Thursday
from letters received by Ry.
Porter (D-Ore) asking about a re
cent announcement that the prop
erty has been declared surplus to
Coast Guard needs and may be
sold.
Typical of the response was that
from one woman who wrote
"I've sat on this bank many an
hour and looked longingly at that
lighthouse, dreaming it was mine.
It would truly be a Shangri La."
Although sale to the public is
likely, no actual decision has been
made.
Committee To Act
Porter said the House Merchant
Marine Committee is scheduled to
act during the week of Feb. 17 to
authorize the Coast Guard to turn
the property over to the General
Services Administration.
That agency then must check
other departments to see that none
has any use for the site. If the
check is negative, the tract then
would go up for bid. The whole
for a finer bourbon

procedure usually takes about six
months.
The property, which fronts on
the ocean and the river, was aban
doned by the Coast Guard in 1939.
It includes the light tower, a build
ing housing the fog signal and 11V
acres of land. An adjacent 40-acre
tract is scheduled for return to
the public domain under Depart
ment of the Interior administra
tion. Built at a cost of $17,600 in 1896,
the property now is valued at con
siderably less.
