Colorado, known as the "Jonah" ship of the American i fleet, suffered the second serious mishap of its career when a five inch anti-aircraft gun exploded,, killing four men and seriously in juring nine others of the crew. Four years ago the $27,000,004' super-dreadnought (shown steam-, ing proudly above) ran aground on a reef in New York harbor. A close-up of a similar gun to the one that exploded is shown (left). meeting aims to afford an ade quate annuity for railroad work ers' declining years. After Id years service the worker will be secure In an equity for his'contri butions, and after 30 years he will be secure in an annuity of at least one-half his average monthly wage. "Thus it will be possible for the many workers willing to retire at 50, 55 or 60 years of age to do so with security and make room for younger men to take their places. "The fund is to be administered by the Interstate commerce com mission guided by a board on which will be representatives of railroad workers, railroad man agement and the government. - "Never at any time have rail road workers considered a plan which would take money from the federal treasury. They mere ly ask the government to handle their funds. The annuity fund will be built up from contribu tions by the railroads equivalent to one-half the necessary contri butions, and paid by the railroads from their operating funds exactly as their now inadequate individu al pension funds are maintained. Added to the railroads' contribu tions will be contributions by the employes during the entire time of their railroad service, and equal to about one-half the amount to be paid by the rail roads." Ellingson is a delegate at Chi cago for pension clubs at Port land, Vancouver, Wishram, The Dalles and Bend. C. L. Towar is delegate from the Eugene club, and George H. Hillman from La Grande. IK Kill PAY 513,183 TO SUTE Great Increase Anticipated Next Year; Commitments Reduced, is Report In the four months' period be ginning July 1, 1931, the state of Oregon has received $13,189 from relatives and estates who are now required by law to pay $20 a month for the care of their kin who are inmates in the Insane, feeble-minded and tuberculosis hospitals. The report was filed here yesterday with the state board of control by the state pur chasing department. The report indicated that there are 3156 inmates in the various institutions who are subject to payment et the statutory fee. In event all collections are made the state .should receive a total of $41,500 this year. Beginning next year, the report continued, the state should receive an additional $312,000, provided that the support fee for all pa tients is paid in full. Fees of tu bercular, feeble minded and violently insane patients are not payable by the counties. ' Superintendents of the institu tions reported that the new law had reduced materially the num ber of commitments. Dr. G. C. Bel linger, superintendent of the state tuberculosis hospitals, said his waiting lists had fallen off ap proximately 25 per cent. He fur ther reported that recent condi tions had reversed the sex of wait ing patients. Last rear women pa tients outnumbered men three to one, while this year men outnunv bered women two to one. ' Approval of County Judge la Required Dr. R. D. Byrd, at the head of the state home for the feeble mind ed, reported a similar condition. He recently sent out admittance permits for 15 prospective pa tients, but received no replies. The board of control adopted a policy of not allowing any volun tary commitments without tile written approval of the county Judge of the county from which they have applied. Voluntary com mitments authorize treatments covering a 30-day period or long er. Sam Laughlin, superintendent of the state training school fo boys, announced that corporal punishment at his institution had been diminished materially since he assumed control there October 16.
