Thomas XL Mahoney of Multnomah fathered but doesn't want passed until ac tion is taken on his subsequent bill repealinr milk .control alto gether, involved the Oregon senate in its noisiest tilt to date Monday when the measure was removed from the table-on motion of Sen. W. E. Burke, Yamhill." , : . Sen. Burke sought to place the bill on final passage but Sen. Ma honey protested "on - the ground that the repeal measure should be considered first - He charged that this bill was being "stalled" In the committee but Burke de nied this, saying a public hearing had been held and the bill prob ably would be reported out with in a few days. '-, -r -t.-. f Sen. Dean Walker then moved that the transfer bill : be re-j- referred to the agriculture com- mlttee, declaring: "We have a : rlrht to know what sort of eon i trel will be provided by the j state agricultural department ' before we vote on this measure." j But this motion failed after Sen. Earl Fisher. Washington, -' had voiced confidence in Gov. ,' Earl SnelTs intention to "play fair with the dairy Interests," i and the bill will come np en 1 third readhur later in the week. i- Sen. Frederick Lamport, Marion, declared that the more he had ! studied the milk control situation ' the less he knew about it "There Is a lot of talk about the pro ducers," Sen. Lamport said, "but j little with relation to the con- j Burners." Five bills were approved by the senate at Monday's sessions. Im portant among these was one by Sen. Coe McKenna, Multnomah, increasing the reserve fund' of the state industrial accident commis- ! sion from $500,000 to $4,500,000. Sen. McKenna declared that the i commission's reserve . fund has 1 been in jeopardy on several occa i sions and: that approval of this ,' bill would place the fund on a I sound and workable basis, j The senate also approved a ; measure by the military affairs '. committee appropriating $10,000 , to cover a deficiency appropria ! tion created by the Oregon state ! defense council.

Rejects Pay Requirement Workers totally and permanently disabled prior to 1941 would receive the same benefits as those disabled since the ap proval of increased benefits in that year, if Speaker William M. McAllister's bill, approved in the house Monday, becomes law. But the house rejected a bill sought by organized labor, which would have required that work ers be - paid semi-monthly if not oftener. Rep. Phil Brady, Multnomah, said most employers paid weekly or semi-monthly but that this bill was aimed at those few. who operate on the workers' money" by paying only once a month. Rep. E. Riddell Lage, Hood River, and others . objected that mora fre quent pay days would require more bookkeeping - and that such legislation should wait until after the war. - Rep. Brady:, said it was especially necessary now because credit Is curtailed, and added that the monthly pay day is "the back bone of the loan shark." Rep. McAllister, said his bill liberalizing workmen's ; compen sation benefits would cost the ac cident fund 1875,000 over a ten- year period but that the fund could stand it. Benefits would be increased from $30 to $ft a month; to. $50 if the disabled worker had a wife to support, and $12 for each child. Despite Rep. JL.ec Smith's ob jection to a provision requiring that only United States citizens might practice, the house passed a bill tightening the regulations governing optometrists and for biding them to advertise that any services are free. Rep. Smith said "misguided nationalism" was to be avoided, and insisted that na tionality had nothing to do with an optometrist's skilL Rep. F. H. Dammasch, Multno mah, said the provision's purpose was to guard against the refugees who were "swamping" the pro fession in the east, and Rep. Dean Bryson, Multnomah, added that European schools had turned out incompetent practitioners in re cent years. - ; The house postponed indefinite ly Rep. Vernon Bull's measure which would have penalized citi zens who failed to register or to vote by denying them public as sistance and charging them an ex tra' dollar for hunting, fishing or f aw sa m r.iiitiifi VICE-PRESIDENTS : , I "'.

The house military affairs com mittee Introduced a bill to set up a five-man war veterans service commission to be appointed by the governor. Three members would be veterans. Members of the house revision of laws committee said two bills on Monday's calendar which it sponsored were the last of a long series of corrections in the state code. Water Rights Bill Concerning Loss Threatens Peace Salvaging lost water ought to be a pleasant prospect to any ir rigator. But the federal reclama tion commission's plans to attempt what others have failed seven times to accomplish dam up a lava f ault in the upper Deschutes river and save from 41,000 to 72,- 000 acre feet of water lost an nually threaten to disturb the peace which has prevailed among water users on that stream since rights were adjudicated several years ago. Rep. Howard Turner, Jefferson, has a bill in the legislature pro posing that whoever shall improve a stream's flow shall have first claim upon the water salvaged. Desirability of such legislation was defended at a hearing Mon day before the house committee on irigation and drainage by Percy A. Cupper of Salem, representing the Jefferson Water Conservancy district. But the bill was opposed by Harvey H. DeArmond of Bend and LaSalle Coles, representing Des chutes county irrigation districts, on the ground that it would tend to distrub the adjudicated rights. DeArmond also insisted that the water saved could not be ac curately distributed, since the loss fluctuates greatly from year to year for no apparent cause. Three dozen or more central i I.

' For Municipalities Counties,. cities and school dis tricts will be enabled to set up reserves for post-war improve ments and expenditures not now possible, if bills reported out fav orably Monday by the house com mittee on assessment and taxa tion are enacted into law. The authority to retain such reserves, not transfer them to the general fund at' the end of the year as "balance on hand" offset against the next year's tax levy, is limited in the amended bills by the requirement that expendi tures be for necessities and that any amount remaining after the originally stated purpose is ac complished shall revert to the general fund. The bill granting this author ity to cities is a substitute for a bill on which the committee originally frowned. The committee also reported out favorably a bill which would make it possible for the state to assume more than 60 per cent of the public welfare cost, if funds available were adequate. This bill was introduced by Rep. Wal ter J. Gearin, Multnomah. Gvilian Defense Priorities Urged The problem of priorities for Salem civilian defense supplies has not been forgotten by the na tional civilian defense office. Al derman Tom Armstrong was no tified by a telegram from Sen. Charles L. McNary on Monday. While priority has not yet been established, a promise has been given McNary that Salem's needs will not be overlooked, he de clared in his message, adding that he hoped for early action. Auxil iary fire fighting equipment, hel mets, gas masks and other mater ials that would be needed in case of war emergency are sought by civilian defense units here, and MsNary's message concerned these. Oregon residents come to Salem for the hearing. Orstea. Tusxisf l!crn!ii Fc!y C 1C13 Lobby Siobnobbsr mZsgi?

Tarmerw Jones also spoke before the committee and probed witnesses, as to his bin to permit sale of natural wines fori "on premise3 consumption. In between on liquor bill ques tions was Larry Allen, state liquor administrator, but Dale R. MCls, the commission's win depart ment supervisor, who came to Oregon from a Job with a Cali fornia concern, Colonial Grape Products was not neutral. He said Oregon's consumption of wine was not high, said fortified wines had caused little trouble from a scientist's point , of view in V ES T III A cor.rfci; court & MessaP and declared more problems bad arisen from the light "natural1" wines, . - Speaking for the Burke bill was Blanche H.

There it Is delivered to army or navy author ities and the postoffice washes its hands of the matter. Then comes the first delay. Food, munitions and men go first letters when there is ship space.
