Snell Expects
No Special
Session
Though quoted in - St;: Louis,
Mo., last Thursday; as wanting to
buy a large quantity ! of , liquor
for, the state "so the old folks of
Oregon: can eat and expressing
fear that a special legislative ses
sion to provide other sources of
funds for old age assistance might
be necessary if liquor supplies
were not forthcoming, .Gov. Earl
Snell on -his return here Sunday
said the pension ? program was
not endangered and that he fore
saw no imminent need, for a spec
ial session. . ':
x !I am not -alarmed over the old
age assistance situation In Ore
gon ' at this time and yould be
one of the last to wish to call a
special -legislative session," Gov.
Snell declared.
, "The proposal that .Oregon's
elderly people, entitled to old age
assistance benefits, sail receive
from $38 to $40 a month as in
dicated by the legislature, Is not
a political Issue but Is a matter
of right and justice. I propose to
take ' necessary steps to bring
about adequate assistance to these
people. '.
There always Is a question, Gov.
Snell said, as to ; whether old
age assistance finances come from
the proper souhces, but the law
provides : that . they shall come
largely from liquor profits. The
1943 legislature appropriated $12,-
