Public employes and the gov ernmental units by which they are employed would I contribute equally to the funds created bv the proposed retirement plan, for such employes, a report i upon which was presented to the legis lature on Monday. The ! report was prepared . by a special i committee headed by Henry P. i Cabell of Portland as chairman, which was appointed by Gov. Charles A. Sprague shortly after I the . 1939 legislative session. 1 Retirement would be manda tory at age 65 with the exception of male police and fire depart ment employes who would retire at age 60. Contributions for these latter two classes would be slight ly higher. I i i Half of Salary Benefits ultimately would ap proximate one-half of the Individ ual employe's average salary dur ing the term of his employment after establishment of the sys tem. The maximum would be $1000 a year. ; The state's contribution gn be half of employes paid from the general fund would be made by special appropriation and the an nual cost would be $217,487. Self-sustaining and revenue-producing units would contribute the employer's share of prospec tive benefits directly from j reve nues received. This would amount to $163,808 per annum. The committee said I the ! Plan Is of the actuarial reserve type and designed to maintain solvency of the fund. Necessity for the retirement system for public employes was stressed in the report. Minority Report Filed Howard C. Belton filed a mi nority report. He declared that the history of many public em ploye retirement systems, both state and local, had proved dis appointing. Belton also said he was opposed to making the pro posed retirement system manda tory upon local governmental units. . j "Local agencies of government should be permitted to determine local policies, in so far as public welfare will permit," Belton con tinued. Belton added that, in his opin ion, the Issuance of bonds, war rants or revenue anticipation cer tificates to accommodate deferred payment of current costs of pub lic employe retirement would be unwise. A number of legislators said they preferred to delay serious consideration o the proposed re tirement plan for public ! employes until the next" legislature two years hence. Governor Slaps Jobs Back Bill Federal Laws Adeauate j to Cover Subject, Asserts Sprague i A bill to guarantee that Oregon youths who enter military service shall get their jobs back when they return Is not necessary, Gov ernor Charles A. Sprague indi cated here Monday. i The governor said this subject was adequately covered by federal legislation. The bill, drafted by a group of Multnomah county democratic leg islators, also would provide that families of such youths could not be evicted for failure to pay rent, and that they would not be sub ject to fines or penalties! for "non payment of taxes. Lieutenant-Colonel Elmer V. Wooten, state selective service di rector, told Governor:! Sprague that this situation was covered adequately by federal laws. State employment service offic ials declared, however, that legis lation Is required to prevent pen alties for failure to pay taxes and to compel public agencies to re hire their employes who! get into military service. "With federal legislation and the efforts of the state! employ ment service I believe youths who enter military service have ade quate guarantees they will get their jobs back when they return home," Governor Sprague de clared. , j Police Budget Hike Approved A ways and means sub-committee, headed by Senator : P. J. Stadelman, Wasco county,! Mon day afternoon agreed to 1 increase the state police department ap propriation by $25,000. i This will make it possible for the department to employ four additional men. The additional funds will come from the state motor transportation division of the state utilities department, ? ; Another subcommittee! author ized an appropriation of $12,600 tor the construction of new hang ars in a. Portland airport. 2 Bills Eavored By Senate Group Two . bills were reported - oat favorably Monday at a meeting of the senate assesmeat and! taxation committee.- , One bill provides machinery for the- allocation of funds i paid to the state by the federal govern ment in lien of taxes. It antici pates receipts from .the , Willam ette Valley authority a n d the Bonneville power authority. ; . The other bill provides that any sums received by municipal cor porations shall be considered in determining the C per cent, tax limitation. . 1 House Defeats nii I Dili Pierce : Forest Memorial Reconsideration Also Voted Dora Members of the house of rep resentatives Monday voted down a bill which wonld have made it a, misdemeanor for any member of the legislature to ''knowing ly and corruptly" attempt to in fluence other members on legis lation. The vote on the measure was 38 no and 17 aye. Voting in favor of the bill were Reps. Carson," French, Frisbie, Gibson, Gleason, Jenkins, Jones, Lage, Larkin.'Marsh, Martin, Mc Allister, Newbry, Smith, Snyder, Thomas and Thompson. Rep. Allan Carson (R-Marion), one of the sponsors of the meas ure, saying that the legislature is one of "the finest bodies of men" he has been associated with, said, "This is the time, when we have a legislature and a house Of this kind, for a bill like this to go in." "It's not proper for anybody to come here for a fee and at tempt to Influence the house. It's the same proposition as trying to buy a court." Measure Opposed Rep. John Steelhammer (R Marion) opposed the bill which he said, "does not accomplish any purpose." Steelhammer said the matter is already covered in the state's bribery laws. The measure was also opposed by Rep. Phil Brady (D-Portland), president of the state federation of labor. Brady said there had already been an attempt to "place a stigma on my colleagues and myself" because they are mem bers of labor organizations. "The finger of corruptness might be pointed at myself and my colleague because labor might pay otrr hotel bills," he added. Dr. J. F. Hosch (D-Bend) said an e'mergency clause on the bill was justified because "as long as there is a lawyer in this body there is an emergency." Suspension Defeated A move to suspend the rules to permit reconsideration of Rep. Richard L. Neuberger's memorial to congress asking passage of the Pierce forestry bill was defeated 40 to 16. The Pierce bill would authorize the federal department of agri culture to borrow $60,000,000 from the RFC to purchase Ore gon and Washington forests and operate them on a sustained yield basis. The vote on suspension of the rules came after a ruling by Speaker of the House Robert S. Farrell, Jr., that house rules pro hibited reconsideration because three days had -elapsed wa questioned by Rep. Leo Smith (D Multnomah). The house upheld Farr ell's ruling 49 to 9. Rep. James A. Rodman (R Lane), who led the debate against the Pierce memorial last Thurs day, declared his stand against extension of federal power with in the states has been consistent and that it was not a party Issue. He said he had opposed Presi dent Hoover's bill to concentrate authority in Washington in the same manner. The house passed and sent to the senate bills which would per mit the supreme court to appoint judges pro tern from members of the bar to serve for not . to exceed 90 days in counties where dockets are crowded; and permit the three circuit judges of the second Judicial district of Ben ton, Coos; Curry, Lane, Lincoln and Douglas counties to try cases as a group.

Bill Will Seek Probe on Milk Appointment of an interim com mittee to conduct an investigation of the state milk control board will be sought in a bill to - be introduced this week by - Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Mult). A bill to repeal the law creating the milk control board was . in troduced by Sen. Mahoney at the 1939 legislative session and was defeated by only one vote in the senate.
