with life as the plane gathers speed down the runway; the
ground seems to fall gently away: and he is in the air; He

PORTLAND, March 8-ff)-Ore-gon
will be asked to revamp its
health services to avoid duplicated
work by different agencies,1 "Dr.
Frederick D. Strieker said today.
' The state health officer said ;a
survey by Dr. Carl E. Buck of the
American Public Health associa
tion showed overlaps in the work
of the board of agriculture, indus
trial accident commission, ' board
of education, and state board of
health. .
Buck's report was based chiefly
on Jackson, Josephine and Des
chutes counties. ' i
While the bill carried ko new
funds for the navy," it authorized
the transfer of $262,314,000 from
funds previously earmarked for
ordnance and ordnance stores to
13 other naval appropriations,
mostly for the maintenance and
operation of naval training sta
tions 'and shore establishments.
The $171,895,680 in new money i
for the postoffice department, the
committee explained, was neces
sary, largely because of new over
time pay laws and the increased
volume of free mail for members
of th armed forces. 1
In recommending $127,500,000
for construction of community fa
cilities by. the federal works agen
cy, the committee cut i $22,500,
000 fjrom the total requested. Fa
cilities covered include schools,
child-care centers, hospitals, clin
ics, recreational facilities and gen
eral.; Utility systems. While com
mending the program for which
$367,500,000 has been appropria
ted id recent years, the committee I
said it believed the new allotment
