"In most cases these applicants were married In Washington or California which do pot require the physical examination." vjcease Business lost. Bays Senator Booth said the passage of his bill would reduce the cost! of the physical examination and tend to discourage applicants tor marriage licenses from leaving the state. The senator added that the blood examinations wonld be made by the state board of health. without .any reimbursement irom the current legislature. The bill was opposed by Senator W. H. Strayer. Baker county; who said it would not accomplish that for "which It was intended. "It Is almost a certainty," Straver declared, "that persons af flicted with a social disease would not submit to examination under the Oregon law." Amendment Suggested Senator Strayer suggested that the bill be amended so that weak- minded persons desiring to marry would be sterilised. Senator Thomas R. Mahoney, Multnomah county, announced that he would ask reconsideration of the bill Wednesday. The senate approved a bill by Senator Booth authorising the secretary of state to use words. phrases and characters on auto mobile plates, for the advertising of Oregon's resources and attrac tions.

Bill Re-Referred On Project Group The bill of Senator Douglas Mc Kay, Marion county, providing for creation of a "Willamette valley project commission,' was re-referred Wednesday to the joint ways and means committee. This committee had reported the bill out favorably after reducing the appropriation to 118,000. The commission would cooper ate with the federal government which already has approved the project. Request for a federal an- prwuriauuu iu ueveiop ut project is now before congress. Senator Lew Wallace, Multno mah county, suggested that the bill be amended so that one of the three members of the com mission would represent the state's wildlife. He-said this was important because of the dams and other stream obstructions pro posed by the government engi neers.
