Changes in Unemployment
Compensation lw Probable
Straightening out of a number of kinks in the state unem
ployment compensation commission law so as to eliminate cum
bersome features and start the benefit year on 'July 1 instead of
January 1, will be sought at the lf legislative session, commis
sion officials announced here Monday. - !
'V Officials said Oregon is the only state, having a fixed benefit
benefit year beginning January I
: Change in the law would estao
lish a six months lag period which
would ' spread the benefit load
throughout the year instead of
concentrating the Joad at the first
of the year ' when unemployment is
t'its peak. .Contribution rates for
the year also could .be announced
well ahead of the date. They must
take effect under the proposed
amendments. - '
Officials said another awkward
provision of the law is the insuf
ficient time allowed for processing
employers, wage reports, prepara
tory to their Use in determining
'claims.' - H'''x : " :K
i The commission made it plain
that it would refrain from recom
mending any legislation which
would materially effect benefit
rights of workers as a group or the
contributions liability of employ

Invasion Brings Hardships

Life is free but ; still hard for
French' people liberated by the in

This strip of coast still Is a bat
tle area; inhabitants must exist by
their own ingenuity, and that Is
the principal hardship now. Con
ditions wDl improve as fighting
moves : inland and coastal towns
- and villages :i recover - from the
. shock of assault .:
But there is freedom in the air.
Already Norman folk are walk
ing the streets with a. firmer
tread. Children dance and sing
on the corners. " ,
When this' f i shin g village
Grandcamp Les Bains was tak
en from the Germans the streets
were deserted. Some of the popu
lation returned the next day, and
; on the following night the streets
were full again, a few cafes were
open and housewives knitted pla
cidly at open windows. - ij; :
The village was lucky in that
the allies won it without the use
of much artillery. Only a few
houses were smashed by shells. "
Others were not so fortunate,
particularly Isigny down the road
to the south and Carentan where
there is fierce fighting.
From this shelling . arises one
ci the most pressing problems for

here Monday when it was dis-J
county, while in Salem recently,;
said a suit to determine whether
John Carson and .Lamport serve
until after the November election
this year or until late in Novem-i
ber, 1946, was under considerauon.
He did not say who would file the
action. .. . . - . . ' v
In case such legal action is taken;
it probably will be in the nature
of a mandamus proceeding to
compel the Marion county clerk
to count- the write-in votes ." for
Campbell and Bayne and certify
them to the "secretary of. state!
. Should it be determined that
the terms of "John Carson and
Lamport terminate in November
of this year, they could file as
independent candidates 'at the
November election.
