Insurance,
Optician
Bills Beaten
By Isabel Chllds ,
i City Editor. The Statesman
Debate and defeat featured
Tuesday in the senate as the up
per " house "washed but" a bill
which would have permitted the
Idaho Mutual Benefit association
Xo operate in Oregon and another
under which opticians would have
been licensed. ' -
Three hours of discussion pre
ceded the 18-13 vote by which the
report on SB 135 of the minority
of the insurance committee (a
"do not pass" report) was adopted.
Sen. Paul Patterson of Washing
ton county and Sen. Lew Wallace,
Multnomah county, comprised the
minority, arguing that the type of
insurance which the law change
would permit is now, has been
and will be undesirable.
Old line insurance companies
have fenced in. Oregon and now
keep its residents buying insur
ance at rates established in 1868,
Rex Ellis, the committee's chair
man contended as he urged adop
tion of the majority report
Specifically, the bill would have
permitted "mutual benefit asso
ciations" to write policies in Ore
con on, an experience rating ba
st (with reserves equal -to the
amount of . the previous year's
mortality costs! instead of undeaj
the American plan of mortality
prescribed in the law now.
Voting in favor of the minor ity
report, and therefore against the
passage or tne measure, were
Sens. Carson, Chessman, Cornett,
Fatland, Gibson, Hilton, Moser,
Paul Patterson, Rand, Stadelman,
Walker, Wallace, Walsh, Winslow,
Zurcher and President Howard
Belton, Sen. Lee Patterson was
"absent.
Not much more than one hour
was given to the opticians' licens
. ing measure, which opponents
declared has the support of only
one optician in the state and
would prohibit men now serving
as opticians in the armed forces
from entering that business upon
their return home without five
years of apprenticeship. The bill
would establish another practicj
ally purpose-less commission, they
contended. .
Sen. Coe A. McKenna, Multno
mah county," father of the meas
ure, maintained that it ould prol
tect unsuspecting persons fronk
fraudulent promises o.the "sales!-'
men" in the optical manufacturf
ing business, that many wearers
of spectacles today would be betl
ter off without them but thai
they were "sold" on the necessity
of eye-glasses.
Snell Wants
Alien Land I
Law Changes
. Aliens could no longer purchase
property leases in the names of
civilian members of their families
as a method of circumventing the
alien property law under a bill to
be introduced shortly in the Ore
gon legislature.
The bill, which would also
change certain procedures, Is de
signed to bring the state's law on
the matter up-to-date prior to the
return of many of the Japanese to
the coastal area, Gov. Earl Snell
indicated Tuesday as he recom
mended its passage. It coincides
with comparatively new provi
sions of the California code upon
which the Oregon alien property
provisions were originally mod
eled, i
I Presenting the proposed meas
ure Govt Snell released the fol
lowing statement:
j "This whole question of alien
property rights is very much in
volved in the provisions of the
United States constitution and
treaties with foreign- countries as
well as the provisions of our own
state constitution, ,-t'
"Shortly after the army issued
the order permitting certain Jap
anese to return to the west coast,
I requested the attorney general
. to review for my information and
guidance all laws bearing on the
, question. His suggestions are in
corporated in the bill which is be
ing presented and which will
strengthen our present alien prop
erty law and bring about uniform
ity in such laws with the state
-constitution.
"It is manifestly clear that all
activity and procedure must be
In keeping with the constitution
and laws of our state and nation.
; All citizens agree, I am sure, that
law arid order must prevail."

Bible Projects
To Be Separate
Starting in Fall
Separation of the Union Daily
Vacation Bible school and the Bi
ble in the School projects was de
cided upon by Salem Ministerial
association at its meeting Tuesday
morning. While the vacation Bi
ble school the coming summer will
not be changed in any respect,
starting next fall the work of the
"Bible in the School project will
be handled without reference to
the vacation Bible school.
Contracts for the two teachers
handling the Bible in the School
project were ordered drawn by the
association. These are for the
year which began last September.
The contracts have been delayed
because of uncertainty as to the
part the teachers would take in
the Daily Vacation Bible school.
As drawn, they assist with the
work. The teachers are Miss Le
ora Strong and Miss Esther Gul
ley.
- Because of time consumed with
other business an adjourned meet
ing of the Ministerial association
will be held next Tuesday to con
sider the "city wide union church

Pasteurizing
Compromise
Is Discussed
Sponsors of milk pasteurization
and herd I testing bills met with
representatives of producer-dis-;
tributors ef raw milk Tuesday in
regard to a possible compromise
on milk safeguards.
A pasteurization bill now before I
j I
tee would require milk from ;
herds: in Which Bang's disease is
detected to be pasteurized until
the herd could again reach the
status of f a disease free herd.
Bang's disease is asource of un
dulant fever.
Finding; of the disease in one
cow of the herd would be suffi-
dent to ftke the herd from the I
raw milk market
The compromise proposal would
require that immediately upon
finding of Bang's disease in . a
herd f producing raw -milk for
drinking (purposes the infected
cow or cows would be eliminated
from; the herd, but that the milk
fromlthe Jremainder of ; the herd
would continue to be sold as raw
milk.! $
The suggested compromise was
worked out at a meeting attended
by Oscar i Hagg and Lyle Ham-
mack, legislative f chairmen re
spectively! of the i Oregon Dairy
men s association and the Oregon
Dairy Manufacturers association,
sponsors of the pasteurization bill,
Robert 0- Boyd, representing

Lifting Benefit
Omit Favored
By Committee
--- .''-- --.."3'" . . ,:- T " -J
A bill by Senator Thomas R.
Mahoney, Multnomah county, un
der which the $40 a month ceiling
on old age assistance benefit pay
ments would be eliminated, was
reported out with a "do pass.. rec
ommendation by the joint 'ways
and meants committee Tuesday.
At a conference here last week
attended by officials of the state
public, welfare commission and a
subgroup of the ways and means
committee no serious objection
was voiced against eliminating the
$40 ceiling. Public welfare offi
cials indicated: at the meeting that
the federal grant j for old age as
sistance would be larger for the
next ; biennium than : during the
current two-year period. i
Bills Are ' Tabled VV..! ! '
Bills relating to the old age as
istance were tabled, including one
by Senator Coe McKenna, Mult
nomah county which would have
increased the ceiling on old age
benefit payments to $50. a month
Committee members said a number
of other measures dealing with
old! age assistance and the pub
lie t welfare commission probably
would be received later.
. The committee rescinded its
previous action in directing its
secretary , to prepare a bill direct
ing the state board of control to
take over the Oregon blind trade
school in Portland. In lieu of
this action the 1 committee will
send a letter to the governor and
superintendent of the school sug-
gesting a definition of policy, func-

Present Laws
On Liquor -
Held Adequate
Bills introduced by the state li
quor commission were on the in
active.: list of the house alcohol
control committee today and there
seemed little chance of a two
thirds vote needed to resurrect
them. Only one of a group was
reported out favorably-the meas
ure by Rep. Jack Bain of Port
land making a minor . guilty, as
well - as the seller, in a purchase
of alcoholic beverages. Committee
members maintained other cur
rent laws were -Sufficient.
fabled were . proposals ; to de
fine the liquor commission's au
thority in regard to rationing and
to prohibit gambling in places li
censed by the liquor commission.
The latter was objected to on the
grounds Jt would affect clubs
and fraternal organizations.
Other bills ousted would have
provided for confiscation of equip
ment of places found In violation
of j the law; prevented their re
opening; and raised license fees
from $25 to $250. '
Ernest Jachetta, commission at
torney, told the committee the
bills were necessary to give courts
broadened authority to cope with
Portland "bootleg spots. j
.Under i Meier, Martin and
Spjrague we didn't have these il
legal places running in Portland,"
Rep. John Hall of Portland re
sponded. "It's only under the
present commission that they've
been going full blast They- could
stop them if they'd do it in the
right way."
