Bill Would Protect Jobs, Salaries, Ratings; " Also Prevent Tax or Mortgage Foreclosure - Against Family of Man Serving Nation . ; The house passed without a to protect the jobs, salaries and military seryice. The bill, closely now goes to the senate. The bill, amended by the mili tary affairs' committee, also pre vents tax or mortgage foreclosures against the family of a draftee or; guardsman or eviction of his family from its dwelling. ; RepJ Richard L. Neuberger CD Mull) who wrote the original bill, said It had been improved by the committee. He read a let ter from Clarence Dykstra, na tion selective !; service director, which. said in part: .' L "In intent: and purpose, the bill appears to be in line with the .Intents and purposes of the selective training- act of 1949, ; as , expressed in. section 8 of ' . said, j act, and is designed to take , up " where the federal gov ern ment leaves off." '" Advertising of the state's dairy industry was! favored 50 to 10 by the house which approved and sent to the senate a bill to estab lish an Oregon Dairy Products f'mmi tmn otofi Iaw fin ftccMC. ment of one-half cent per butter fat pound against producers one month each year to pay adver tising costs, f Tillamook Opposes T The measure was requested by the dairy industry, but was op posed by Tillamook county cream ' ery association, which, already spends $35,000 annually adver tising its cheese. Rep. H. H. Chindgren (R Clackamas) estimated the butter fat tax would produce about $28,500 annually. He said it would permit Oregon to join with six other states in promoting con sumption of dairy products by national advertising. Chindgren objected when Rep. Erling Brauti (D-Tillamook) ask ed unanimous consent to amend the bill to exclude producers already- being assessed for adver tising. "All the 'cooperatives have.- their own brands," Chlndjrn said, "but it would defeat Ihe purposes of the act to start excluding any groups or sec tion." The house and senate .agreed on a bill for 1943 auto license plates to commemorate the Old Oregon Trail centennial, both houses ac cepting a conference committee report that the secretary of state .may decide the size of the plates. : The house ( had amended the bill to provide that the plates Specials for Tues., Y7ed., Thurs.

Burnside dissenting vote Monday a bill rating of Oregon men taken into modeled after the federal act should be standard size, but the provision was deleted by the senate. House members asserted the secretary of state probably would choose the standard size plates, wanted by motor associations in order to fit plate holders. Sen. W. H. Strayer (D-Baker), sponsor of the bill, said he want ed larger plates so the lettering "Oregon Trail 1843-1943" would be large enough to be seen from a considerable distance. The bill now goes to the gov ernor. The house passed and sent to the governor a bill to give civil rights to persons paroled from the state penitentiary. Rep. J. D. Perry (D-Columbia) introduced in the house a second resolution for legislative investi gation of the state public welfare administration. ' j The house resolutions commit tee later voted to pass the reso lution out without recommenda tion. The resolution provides for ja committee of five members of the legislature and appropriates $750 for the investigation. The resolution sets forth that there have been many complaints of the manner in which welfare workers treat relief fund and pension applicants. ( A similar resolution by Reps. Richard L.; Neuberger (D-Mult-nomah) and Vernon Bull (D-Uri-ion) was laid on the table by a 33 to 20 vote on Perry's motion. The Neuberger resolution, intro duced early in the session and calling for an investigation con current with the . legislative ses sion, was reported out unfavor ably by the ways and means coii mittee. !

Dorothy Lee, (R Mult) and L. W. Wipperman (R Josephine), providing for estab lishment and operation of re gional vocational schools under the state board for vocational ed ucation. ' Sen.

' A memorial urging congress, to adopt the Townsend pension plan, a resolution to investigate the public " welfare - commission;' bills for construction of ' armories - at Baker, Grants Pass, Oregon City and LaGrande and a measure au thorizing the board of control to sponsor an armory construction program, a proposed increase in the governor's research budget to permit long-range study of econ omic problems to be ' faced after defense activities' cease, and, the $5 per day "expense! bill for compensating legislators w ere considered. . " Memorial Is Buried ' ' The Townsend memorial was buried in committee without com ment. It was introduced by Sens. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Mult) and L. W. Wipperman (R-Jose-phine), and Rep. Kenneth C. Mar tin (R-Josephine). The resolution to investigate the public welfare commission also was killed without discussion. - Gov. Charles A. Spragae had requested the committee to In crease his research budget from 911,000 to $20,000. The commlt tee rejected the proposal by a vote of 5 to 4.

He referred particularly to industrial development and de fense activities. Downed Unanimously . The bill by Reps. J. D. Perry (D-Columbia) and R. C. Frisbie (R -Baker) to appropriate4 $25.- 000 to pay S5 a day expenses to the legislators was voted down unanimously by the committee. Members said such a law would be unconstitutional.

Best (R-Uma tills), appropriating $35,000 or a tu berculosis pavilion and $300, 009 for a receiving ward at the Eastern Oregon state hospital at Pendleton.
