License Bill Hits Snag In Senate SALEM, Feb. 8 (AP)—The going looked rough tonight for secretary of state Earl T. Newbry’s bill to ' adopt permanent automobile licen- 1 se plates, instead of the annual ' plates now used. 1 The senate roads and highways 1 committee heard state police super- 1 intendent H. G. Maison and repre- ! sentatives of automobile dealers 1 and Portland police oppose the plan. 1 And the committee also appeared 1 to be against it. ! The plan, already passed by the 1 house, calls for the plates to be is sued to the owners, instead of to ] the car; and that plates be issued '• on a staggered basis so that 1-12 of i them would expire each month. i Public utilities commissioner ' George H. Flagg ask^ed the senate ' utilities committee to approve the 1 bill to let Governor McKay and Flagg ration power during power shortages. But Paul Hand, manager of the Central Lincoln Peoples Util ity districts, said the PUD’s don’t like it because they don’t want the state to have any authority over them. The State Grange said the bill gives the governor too much auth ority, and private power companies said they didn’t care if the bill pass ed or not. The Grajige and Farmer's Union told the house agriculture commit tee they don’t like the bill to let the board of Agriculture appoint the state director of agriculture. He now is appointed by the governor. The committee found no opposi tion to a bill to provide more vita min enrichment of bread. The bill was endorsed by the Oregon home economists, the State Medical soci ety and the Northwest Pacific Mil lers association. The house labor and industries re fused to introduce a bill to provide that all engineers of boilers and re frigeratior plants be licensed by the state bureau of labor.

Blizzard Brings Stove Lift, Too RENO, Nev., Feb. 8 (AP) — It wasn't exactly a haylift, but it in volved the same technique. Pilots Joe Williams and Bill Guer man dropped an oil stove and two gallons of fuel to Engineer James Campion and his family atop 8,100 foot Peavine mountain yesterday. Campion operates radio station KWRN’s FM transmitter on the mountain. Last weekend’s storms knocked out the electric power lines to the transmitter, also cutting off the furnace in Campion's home. After 24 hours of futile efforts by snowcrews to make it up the side of the peak, things got pretty chilly for the Campions. Hundred-mile an-hour winds are commonplace at the peak. Reno Newspapers, Inc., which owns the station, sent the pilots out with the stove. Indian Service Agents Deny Distress in Oregon Tribe PORTLAND, Feb. 8—(AP)—In dian service agents denied tonight that a condition of acute distress existed generally among members of the Siletz tribe on the Oregon coast. Col. E. Morgan Pryse, regional director of the service, made the statement after Chief Red Cloud Towner, a Portland attorney and vice chairman of the tribal council, reported many of his tribesmen are penniless and hungry. He de scribed their condition as compara ble to the recently publicized con dition of the Navajo tribesmen in the southwest. Towner said the situation was un justified since the government is holding $105,419 from sale of tim ber on the reservation. The money is to be distributed among the tri bal families. Towner claimed Oregon con gressmen have sidestepped pleas to expedite the payment, but Col. Pryse said all that remains to get the money to the tribe is a vote by the tribal council advising the agency how to distribute the money. The Indian service director said there may be individual cases of dis tress, but aid would be extended if the bureau was so advised. Dr. Henry Roecloud, Indian ser vice representative for the Grande Ronde-Siletz reservation, reported he had visited the tribe last week end and found "nobody in dire straits.” He and Pryse reported the shut down of coastal lumber mills has made it difficult for many whites, as well as Indians, to make ends meet. Wesley Jive Night Jive Night will be held at 9:30 tonight at Wesley house. All stu dents are invited to attend. */!$&& you& IEV£L i Luckies’ fine tobacco picks you up when you’re low • • • calms you down when you’re tense!
