' Th highway figure, 20 per cent! more than that being spent in the current bienmum, includes 99 mil lion dollars in federal funds. j In addition, the Legislature pre-: viousiy voicn million dollars in bonds to build the Columbia River bridge at Astoria and improve the Roseuurg-Coquille Highway. The welfare program calls for S3fi.6U0.000 in stale funds, the rest contributed by the federal govern ment and counties. The total welfare program is about seven . million more than that of the present biennium. The House also sent to the Sen ate a $200,000 emergency welfare appropriation to finish out the present two years. This is in ad dition to Sl.20U.uou voien earner. Approval of the $200,000 means the commission will be able to maintain old age assistance and aid to the blind and disabled at present standards, but it will have to trim nursing home care and other programs. The House approved 36-21 and sent to the governor a bill to eliminate unemployment benefits for 'manv seasonal workers. The bill will reduce the jobless Senate Committee Leaves College Money Bill Intact SALEM (AP) The 55 million dollar appropriation for higher ed ucation was left intact Monday by the Senate State and Federal Affairs Committee. The committee voted 4-2 to send the bill, which increases the ap propriation by 17 per cent over this biennium, back to the Sen ate floor after Senate President Walter J. Pearson (D-Portland) referred it to the committee last week. Normally, appropriation bills approved by the joint Ways and Alcans Committee are not sent to other committees. Pearson said, however, he gave the House-approved budget to the State and federal Affairs Com mittee because of opposition in the Senate to the increase. Pearson said he did not like the 11 per cent hike in faculty sal aries provided for the next two years. Committee members indicated Jlonday they did not feel they coutd make a quick cut in tne budget after the Ways and Means Committee had worked three months on it. The two votes against the meas ure were cast by Sens. Boyd Over Jiulse (D-Madras), chairman of the committee, and R. F. Chap man (D-Coos Bay). The four for it were Sens. Harry Boivin (D-Klamath Falls), Jean Lewis (D-Portland), Carl Fran cis (R-Dayton), and Dan Thiel (D-Astoria). Sen, Lewis, chairman of Hie ways and means subcommittee which worked on the higher edu cation budget, called the salary increase justified and necessary "to attract top people in the top fields.!' Faculty salaries would be in creased seven per cent the first year and four per cent the sec- ! ond. The three million dollars in ! volved in the increase would be j divided into four per ? cent for across - the - board increases and seven per cent for merit raises. , benefit claims about 10 per cent, disqualifying 40 per cent of the ! cannery workers. ! To qualify for benefits under i the measure, a worker must work 1 20 weeks during a year. The House defeated a Labor and In dustries Coinniittea majority rec ommendation that the require ment be cut to 18 weeks. A House-passed bill to elimi nate installment payments on in come taxes, expected to net eight million in added revenue in the next biennium, was changed by the Senate Taxation Committee. The committee amended the bill by keeping installment pay ments, but charging six per cent annual interest on them. If the committee action should be accepted, then about six mil lion would have to be obtained from some other source. The committee hopes to take action quickly on its proposals to broaden the base of the income tax by adding low income groups to those affected by the tax. It could not act Monday be cause it did not have the figures it requested of the state Tax Commission.'. OSMOSE EIRE POSTS m. LAST, 3 TO 5 1 TIMES LONGER Ooai be commit ty fcoftuiriff fences!

Pelly (R-Wash) Tues- ciay urgea approval or nis Dill to authorize construction of a salt water research laboratory at Se attle. In a statement prepared for (he house fisheries subcommittee, the Seattle Congressman said the proj ect would be built in conjunction with an aquarium proposed by the city at Golden Gardens beach. Operation of the laboratory would be conducted jointly by the State Department of Fisheries, the oceanography and fisheries col leges of the University of Wash ington, and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Pelly said he was advised last year by Ross Leffler, assistant secretary of interior for fish and wildlife, that the project would fill a need in the Puget Sound region to the ultimate benefit of the food and sports fisheries of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Estimated cost of the project, he said, was $650,000. Pelly told the subcommittee he hoped the project could be built in time for the Century 21 world exposition opening in Seattle in 1961. Governor Tabs Rights As Basic ' PORTLAND (AP)-Civil lights are the "basic human rights of individuals," Gov. Mark Hatfield told the annual meeting of the Urban League of Portland. The passing of laws to assure equality is not enough, he said. "What the people think will be the real measure of civil rights in Oregon," the governor said. He listed four improvements needed in Oregon: Economics, social relationships, politics and spiritual. On economics, he said: "Employment is the key of the matter and there is a great deal of work to be done here. We must continue to press forward in jobs and equality in labor unions. A man should be judged on his abil ity and merit." On social relationships: "Every time we talk of social relationship this question comes up: 'Do you mean intermarriage? . . . Intermarriage is the privilege of the individual. People should have the right to make their own friendships, work together and go to church together. You do not isolate groups in housing or other areas." On politics: "It is awfully easy for us to look down into Mississippi! and say, 'Well, thank God, that can't happen in Oregon.' When we sav things like this, we're guilty of putting civil rights into little tight categories. We must utilize the total thinking process of our people to solve this problem." On spiritual: "How in the world anyone can call himself spiritual and not he concerned with the total welfare of his fellow man is beyond me." State Building Bonds Asked SALEM (AP) - A 40 million, dollar bonding program for state building construction was ap proved Monday by the Joint Ways and Means Committee. The measure will go to a vote of the people in 1960 if the legis lation gets past both houses. Each Legislature would allocate funds for construction hut could not send more than 15 million dollars in any one biennium. The bonding program, which would expire in 1971, is for higher edu cation, slate institutions and Capi tol area construction. Three members of the commit tee voted against the measure Reps. Stafford llansell (H Athena). W. S. Chadwick (R Sa loin I, and George Annala (D-llood River). llansell said if the funds are needed they should lie allocated now instead of bonding for the buildings. Annala called it "post poning the time to meet an obli gation" and warned that it will cost more in the end. In addition to the long range bonding program, the joint com mittee approved $4 .470.000 from the general fund for higher educa tion construction for the next two years. It also approved introduction of legislation for $5,600,000 in revenue bonds to finance projects, includ ing a S1.705.UOO addition to the University of Oregon science building. The revenue bonds would be fi nanced by student fees. The committee delayed action on $2,881,564 for buildings at the state institutions.

Under the bill, judges in divorce suits would award custody of the children to whichever parent could do the best job of raising it.

Fund-Raising Licenses Vetoed SALEM (AP) A bill to require fund-raising organizations to be licensed and regulated by the sec retary of state or county clerks failed by a single vote Monday to win House approval.

Vernon Cook (D-Trout-dale) told the House the bill would assure contributors to char itable, religious and educational organizations go where it is in tended to go. $4250 Webster's new Twentieth Century Dictionary Set with the purchase of anew EASY 3aeWWt AUTOMATIC WASHER k Two Volumes. ..Unabridged You Mv, Hme . . . .rept with these Handsomely Bound yean-ahead EAST features: 1 ic 2304 Pages ej Cycle StUctiont e3 Waih Wottc Tftmptraturet , -, , , , et.clu.iv. easy Spirolo.or e2 Wo,h, 2 Spin sPd.
