to Stop Evasions'
Conferences seeking enactment
of a marriage law in Washing
ton similar to that approved by
the people ot Oregon at the No
vember election are protosed In
a resolution introduced Tuesday
in the house of representatives.
The resolution, introduced by
Reps. Hannah Martin (R-Salem)
and Dr. J. F. Hosch (Indep.
Bend), provides for a committee
of two house members and a
third appointed by the governor
to meet with a committee of the
Washington legislature to urge a
stricter Washington marriage
law.
Evasions Are Cited
Dr. Hosch said many Oregon
residents were "evading" the
new law, which requires mental
fcnd physical examination before
marriage, by crossing the state
line for nuptials.
Saying that elimination of the
unfit was becoming one of the
great problems of society. Dr.
Hosch said: "I believe the Ore
gon law is a step in the right di
rection. We want Washington to
