1&--Th Slat nm Solom, Oregon. Bandar. Pacwnbf t. IMS Unemployment ast In Local Area The unemployment compensa tion claims load in Marion county jumped ISO per cent from the first week in November to the week Just past, while the rest of the state during the same period of time showed a claims load in crease of only about SO per cent, the state compensation commis sion reported Saturday. The local area's rapid unem ployment increase does not mean that Marion county has more Job less persons than any other area In the state, a commission spokes man pointed out. It merely reflects the rapid falling-off of employ ment from a period a month ago when the county enjoyed nearly full employment At present Mar lon county's share of the claims load is only about 7 per cent of the state total, which the spokes man described as "normal from a population standpoint." At the full employment peak in November this county's claims were only 4 per cent of the state total. Last week civilian and veterans claims (new and continued) tot aled 1,458 as against about 1.600 for the same period in 1945. Em ployment this year is higher than last, in spite of more returned veterans and an (ncrease in the county's general population. The commission attributes this to stim ulated business activity and more settled conditions. During November 224 veterans registered at the Salem employ ment service for Jobs, an increase of 50 per cent over October, R ob ey S. Ratcliffe, veterans employ ment representative, reported. A total of 2.967 veterans called at the office for some kind of serv ice last month. More than 401 ex -servicemen and women were referred to Jobs last month, which; owing to a Job shortage, was 20 per cent less than In October when 562 veterans were referred to work. Migrants moving into this coun ty from out-of-state areas increas ed 20 per cent last month over the previous month, Ratcliffe said. Approximately 175 passed through the local office seeking Jobs. Accident Blamed On Blinking Light Passing trucks on the basis of s blinking signal light has been cited by Secretary of State Rob ert S. Farrell, Jr., as an extreme ly dangerous practice, sometimes with fatal results. In at least one' fatal wreck the signal was given to indicate the way was not clear, Farrell said. Farrell said these truck signal sometimes are confusing and do not mean the same thing to all drivers. ' II0V7! - Cantla Today From 1 p. am.

State Departments Drafting Bills Proposed for Legislature All state departments expecting to propose legislation to the 1947 Oregon states' legislature wilT be urged by Gov. Earl Snell this week to draft their bills early so they may be introduced at the outset of the legislative session. It is considered around the statehouse here that such bills at previous legislative sessions have sometimes been introduced late in the session and consequently considered too hurriedly. Bills already drafted or being widely discussed indicate that the legislature probably will be con fronted with the heaviest agenda in recent years. Some legislators are predicting, consequently, a session of well over 70 days. The last session ended after 69 days. Among two or three bills to be introduced by the secretary of state's office within a few days after the session convenes is one which would clarify and make more simple the law relating to the suspension of drivers' licenses. From another source, possibly the Oregon state grange, will come a bill placing motor vehicles on the personal property tax rolls. Auto mobile owners were expected to oppose this measure on the ground that they already are paying an annual license and a substantial gasoline tax. Controversial Labor Issue One of the most controversial issues which is certain to receive legislative consideration will in volve a constitutional amendment prohibiting closed shop contracts. At the last general election three states voted for amendments for bidding the closed shop contract. In addition to a bill providing machinery for operation of the basic school support measure ap proved by the voters at the re cent general election, educators will ask for legislation upping the minimum yalary schedule for teachers. Amendments to both the employe retirement and civil service laws of the 1945 legisla ture also will be sought. Milk Bill to Be Offered Better stabilization of the state milk control law also was expect ed to result in heated controversy. This legislation probably will be sought by a number of women's organizations on the ground that the present law does not provide sufficient price control. Veterans Will ask that the existing farm and home loan act be revised so - Mat. Daily Fr Now! CR Al N ALAN YOUNG OlENN IAN0AN IYNN IARI MYSTERY CO-HIT! Cheryl Walker Larceny in Her Heart" . CONT.

Among other highly controver sial bills is one proposing an in crease in the state's share of pari mutuel receipts; another would legalize the operation of solt ma chines (with the state participat ing in the revenues) and a third bill would increase the annual tax on certain amusement de vices. There also will be a flock of salary increase bills. These prob ably will involve members of the state supreme court, circuit judges, governor, secretary of state, state treasurer and a num ber of other elective officials and their chief deputies. It will be argued that these salary increases are Justified due to higher living costs. Anniversary of 'Harbor' Recalls Plight of WU Team Among the most vivid recol lections of Salem residents on Lthe anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor yesterday were those of Willamette univer sity's football team which was in Hawaii at the time of the at tack.

The engineers assist fur ther by setting up a complete staff to carry on this warning service. In review of the local disaster organization it was brought out the program is set up to secure immediate emergency housing and bedding, feeding, medical care and emergency hospitalization, am bulance service, special police pro tection and guarding and rescue work. Ownership of Land By Alien Japanese Hinges on Treaty The question of the right of alien Japanese to own land In the state of Oregon hinges upon the validity of a trade treaty signed in 1911 by Japan and the United States, Attorney General George Nuener ruled here today in an opinion asked by the state land board. Nuener stated that the law is not definite on whether treaties between nations are broken by war. He is conferring with fed eral officials to determine if the United States is still bound by the pact. Under the state anti-alien law, alien Japanese may not hold land in the state. The 1911 federal treaty, however, expressly grants alien Japanese the right to own real property. For Sale Cement $1.05 Per Sack Puniliie Concrete Block Co.

Many Villains In 'Clementine9 At Elsinore The weightiest assortment of screen villainy ever assembled for a motion picture is to be found in John Ford's "My Darling Clem entine," the Darryl F. Zanuck presentation for Twentieth Century-Fox. Director Ford not only engaged a cast of super 'heavies,' screen synonym for villains, but observed the very letter of the name. The script called for a family of super no-goods called the Clan tons, to lock horns and bullets with the famous western clan of Earps. The gun battle between two of the deadliest fighting groups of the old West sees Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp stacked up against Walter Brennan, cantan kerous head of the Clanton boys. And in poundage and general brawn, the Clahtons have the edge over the Earps. The statistics show that the Clantons range from a mere six feet, one-half inch to six feet, sev en inches with the combined poundage of the five Clantons running to over a half ton. How ever, for those who fear for Fon-' da in the film, it's not brawn that wins out but a ready eye, a quick draw and a firm finger on the trigger. "My Darling Clementine" is now playing at the Elsinore theatre and stars Henry Fonda, LindaJ jjarneii ana victor Mature, bam uel G. Engel produced the film.
