Senate Okehs Amendment
- Designed : to Fit ; in ;.
' Federal Setup
New Income Tax' Scheme
Lowers Exemptions
to $1250, $700
With only three "no rotet on
final passage, Gorernor Charles
A. Spracne's amendment to the
unemployment compensation law
was passed by the senate and sent
to the honse late Monday, rnia
is the "bill designed to make the
compensation law acceptable to
the federal 'social security board
which' has delayed certifying it.
and to" continue the benefits which
insured - Oregon workers receire
when unemployed.
The near-unanimity with which
the bill passed In the senate au
gured its prompt approval by the
lower house, but the contest which
developed over an additional
clause Inserted by the senate com
mittee on revision of laws is also
likely to carry over to the other
end of the capitol.
This clause contains a definite
statement that the definition of
a labor dispute contained in the
picketing regulation law, shall not
be applicable to .the unemploy-
ment compensation act . The
amendment as written by. Ralph
Campbell, attorney for the com
pensation commission, was de
signed merely to reenact the sec
tion of the original act relating to
disqualification for benefits, with
-this clause Inserted:
"On and after November S,
138, and for the purpose of this
act only, the provisions of this
subsection shall have the same
meaning as the provisions of sec
tion SOS (a) (i) of tha. federal
social security act.-" ? -..-.
: Objection la the senate to' the
further amendment: proposed-by 1
the eOmmltte WsJ based upon a
fear, among ' members . from pre
dominantly agricultural districts,
that the reference to .the picket
. lng law wojxld -weaken it or en
tangle It. In litigation. The vote

Health Setup
Vast Program to Cost
$850,000,000 Year
Sent to Solons
Health Insurance Plan ;
Program "to Reduce
Suffering, Death
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-fls)-A
vast program of federal-state
health activities, to cost ultimate
ly $850,000,000 a year, was trans
mitted to congress today by Presi
dent Roosevelt with a recommen
dation that the legislators study
it carefully.
Though he did not ask specifi
cally for adoption of any detail
of the plan, drawn up by his spe
cial committee on health and wel
fare, he referred to it as a pro
gram to reduce ''the risks of
needless suffering and death."
One step recommended by the
committee was an Americanised
version of compulsory health in
surance s it is now in effect in
many European countries.
Health of Nation
Held. Public Concern
The health of the people Is
public concern," , the. president
suiC miealtnvls 4-mJor cause
of suffering, economic loss, and
dependency; good health is essen
tial to the security, and progress
of the nation.
Linking the committee's pro
posals with the social security act.
the president added that it was
recognised five years ago ."that
a comprehensive health, program
was required as an essential link
in our national defenses against
individual and social insecurity."
He did not discuss in detail any
of the recommendations made by
the committee and avoided any
mention of the' compulsory health
Insurance program.
Health Insurance has been the
basis of a controversy between the
committee and the American
Medioal association and is the only
one of the five recommendations
made to the president, which the
association failed to endorse.

McKellar Lists Probable
' Slashes as Argument
for $875,000,000
Oregon WPA Rolls Are
Slated to Drop to
6,600, He Claims
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-(ff)-Ad
ministration leaders in the sen
ate rallied their forces tonight for
the first big battle of the new ses
sion, an endeavor to give Presi
dent Roosevelt the full appropria
tion which he requested for work
relief.
Lined up against them, it was
apparent, were most of the repub
lican membership and a good-
sized bloc of democrats, arguing
that the time had come when a
start must be made toward reduc
ing the nation's vast expenditures.
The Issue lay between two sums,
proposed to be appropriated to
maintain WPA from Feb. 7 to the
end of the fiscal year next June
30. Mr. Roosevelt and WPA re
quested $875,000,000. The house
and the senate appropriations
committee approved an ou'lay of
$725,000,000.
" Senator McKellar (D-TMt)f
submitted to the senate a table -he
said showed the reductions which
must be effected In relief rolls If
the revised $725,000,000 relief
appropriation bill Is enacted.
McKellar listed WPA rolls on
December 31, 1338, and estimat
ed rolls for the last week In
June, 1939, in states and selected
cities. The list included:
Idaho, 11,100 and 3.800; Ore
gon, 19,300 and 6,100; Wash
ington, 63,300 and 18,200.
For days there has been behind-the-scenes
scrimmaging for
votes. The open battle of debate
begins tomorrow. -
In an endeavor to attract the
votes of members who are an
xious for economy but oppose
reducing he relief rolls during
the winter months, the senate
committee attached a proviso
forbidding WPA to discharge
more than 5 per cent of its
3,000,000 workers before April 1.
The committee majority bul
warked that today by submitting
a report saying that in view of
expenditures for public works,
the armament program end "the
very definite nprise in business
conditions," there was reason to
expect a voluntary decline in
the number of relief workers ex
ceeding the 600,000 to 000,000
drop of the spring of 1936 and
1937.

Insurgent legions closed in on
Barcelona yesterday as fears of
more trouble ahead for Europe
drove prices down sharply on the
world's major markets.

end of the Spanish civil war in

the markets their worst setback
since the Munich crisis. .

that the French government had

Lifeboat Guided at Last
' by Song but Nobody
Remembers Name
NEW YORK, Jan. 33-(JP)-Only
a song from the 10 survivors of
the lost Imperial Airways ' plane
Cavalier guided the lifeboat which
edged through utter blackness to
pull them heroically from the At
lantic.
This was told tonight as the
10 reached port aboard the res
cue tanker Esso Baytown, which
saved them early yesterday after
they had spent nearly 10 hours
in the waters of the Gulf Stream
in which their three companions
perished.
Stanley Taylor, a seaman who
stood in the bow of the lifeboat
as it put out from the Baytown,
said that without that last des
perate and almost tuneless chorus
from the victims they might not
have been pulled from the sea
in time.
"We were without stars, moon
or sextant in complete dark
ness." he said, "and then the
whole crowd of them started sing'
lng. We listened and the song
guided us to the spot."
Then, he added, as the lifeboat
pulled toward the fotyr life pre
servers upon which the 10 had
dung so long In the near presence
of - death.,- two members of the
Cavalier's crew NeU- Rieharda,
the first officer, and Patrick Chap

and swsm to the Esso Baytown.
AU save Capt. M. R. Aldersoa

to cry out. Alderson was uncon
scious, Taylor reported, and had
been saved only through the hero
ic efforts ot Mrs. Edna Watson of
Montreal and Bermuda, one of the
Cavalier's passengers. For hours
no one knew how long she had
held the pilot afloat.
The Esso Baytown was welcom
ed by a great shrieking of harbor
whistles and by saluting airplanes
overhead as she pushed her ice
coated prow into the pier.
Taslor said eight of the surviv
ors were hanging to four life pre
