Kimsey Report
Outlines State
Wage Problem
Since V-J day Oregon has faced
a number of serious problems re
sulting from workers being for
ced from high wage war indus
tries to lower paid service indus
tries. William E. Kimsey, state la
bor commissioner, declared in his
biennial report filed with the leg
islature here Monday.
Kimsey said many workers who
lost their jobs in war industries
have been absorbed in other em
ployment with the result that the
labor situation is not as bad as
had been anticipated. The most
erious situation. Kimsey declared,
is that because of jobs being plen
tiful during the war at high wa
ges many young persons were not
particularly interested in equip
ping themselves for office posi
tions. The report showed that employ
ers were issued permits to em
ploy minors to the number of 17,
326 in the last six months of 1944.
approximately 28,823 in 1945 and
8,102 in the first six months of
this year In the last two years
54.251 permits were issued of
which 27.S31 went to Portland
concerns.

Salary Increases for Secretaries in Offing?
Maybr! And Then There's Housing Shortage Which One Wife Whipped
By Isabel Child Rase bra agh
(Former Statesman city editor called
from retirement!
A second pay boost for aenate
secretaries and clerks before the
end of first week of the 44th ses
sion of the Oregon legislature la
prognosticated (that's what the
man said) by some of those who
should be in the know. There
wasn't any argument Monday over
the house bill which provides a
flat $7 a day for these Job (which
is $1 a day better than the 43rd
session paid), but many a senator
has an $S look in his eye. The
wife of our Informant is not em
ployed at the legislature or else
where in the statehouse.
But many a good wife is. We
couldn't begin to list them here
paper shortage, you know, but
from time to time they crop up.
And they are able to do strange
and wonderful things. There's Mrs.
William E. Walsh from Coos Bay,
her husband's secretary who came
l north to arrange for her small
son's schooling over a 90-day per-
i iod. and without registering withl
realtor or secretary of state car
! ried home a 90-day lease on a
1 modern, comfortable house.
I Unpleasant experiences marred
the first days of January for Rep.
and Mrs. Colon Eberhard. Start
ing from LaGrande Friday, they
planned a leisurely drive here.
, Outside Meacham they hit a gen-
uine snowstorm, and turned back
after their car nearly slipped from
' a high grade. After a night in
warm Meacham ski lodge they
i started out Saturday with repairs
' and chains. They stalled again.
'. rode back in a school bus, and
made the rest of the trip by com
mercial stage, leaving the car in
The Dalles. In Portland Sunday
they heard of the automobile acci
dent in which Hugh Grandy and
several high school basketball
players had been killed. Mrs.
Grandy Is Mrs. Eberhard'i niece.

their first car-less days here la

the fact they have accommoda
tions in the home of Mrs. Lewis
Griffith, close to the capitol.
Col. Carle Abrams again is chief
clerk of the senate ways and
means committee, a job he de
clares makes him very popular
early in the session but guaran
tees him the title of "the most
hated man" during final days.
A. A. Gueffroy just grinned
when committee members and
secretaries hounded him Monday
for keys to committee rooms which
had not yet been put into his
custody as clerk of the senate com
mittee room must be his exper
ience as an OPA chief is proving
useful, because when he ran a
bookstore on Commercial street
he gave and demanded rapid serv
ice, and worried if he didn't. He
does have the keys now.
Stealing the thunder from some
of the newspaper boys and girls,
at least two members of the house
of representatives are keeping
coast newspapers informed on leg
islative legerdemain (that means
sleight of hand). Ralph Moore of
Coos Bay writes a chatty, infor
mative column to the home dis
trict papers, and Joe Wilson
pounds out reports to six in his
Lincoln county district probably
good, sprightly reading, but our
subscription hasn't started yet.
Joe (there are two Wilsons in the
house, so you and he will forgive
the informality) claims his blood
was "tainted" with printers' ink
back a couple of generations when
his grandfather worked in the
shop of Horace Greeley. Grandpa
Wilson took Greeley's advice, par
tially because the pay for merch
ant seaman -was better than that
for printers, and sailed west to
Oregon. Joe's brother, Thomas A.
Wilson, publisher of the Oregon
Nurseryman and Florist, Corval
lis. sat with the representative on
the floor of the house Monday.
Six Survive
Plane Crash
In Antarctica
ABOARD U. S S MT. OLYM-
PUS. Jan. 13-i.Pi-Calm self-dis-'
cipline and the leadership of an
j iron-man captain were credited
I today with saving the lives of six
' navy men, rescued 13 days after
a plane crash that killed three of
' their fellows in the icy wilder
' ness of antarctic.
The survivors were brought
I back by air Sunday to the Byrd
expedition seaplane tender Pine
Island, which ther PBM Mariner
had left Dec. 30 on a routine
photographic expedition.
All of the survivors were in-
jured. five slightly, and the pilot.
Lt. (jg) Ralph Paul Leblanc of
St. Martinsville, La., seriously.
The photographic plane was Hy
ing low in thickening weather
when It brushed a peak then ex-
ploded in the air.
1 The plane broke up, but the
numbed, shocked men found shel-
ter in part of the fuselage. Two
were killed in the crash and one
Idled shortly afterward.
That's a silly expression. Actually,
they sat in chairs, but no one
would put the floor-sitting past
Rep. Wilson, who sometimes
wears carpet slippers around leg
islative halls.
Sen. Merle Chessman, who in
advertently called the name "Sen
ator Truman' as he took the roll
at Sunday night's caucus, has ap
ologized to Sen. Truman A. Chase,
Eugene. And Chase, long a mem
ber of the house but new to the
senate, has accepted Chessman's
regrets. But a good many persons
Monday noted the likeness which
Dr. F. C. Voigt actually bears to
the nation's chief executive. Voigt
was one of the several hundred
spectators who filled even the
standing room at the joint session
Monday afternoon.

Of Proposals

L. Franzen a list of recommenda
tions for the administration of

Eyerly, chairman, the recommen
dations cover a wide field:
That no new construction be
permitted on the east side of the

possible, and either moved to the
west side or used for purposes
other than aviation.
That the zoning law be put into
effect prohibiting the erection of
hazards around the airport.
That Immediate steps be taken
with the county to improve South
25th street.
The trees on the hills south and
in line with the north-south run
way approach be cut.
That the new administration
building be built as soon as pos
sible and that United Air Lines
be allowed to participate, but that
the building be built as soon as
economically feasible regardless
of whether UAL participates.
That individuals be allowed to
erect private hangars, but that
they be located in accordance
with the master plan, and that
they be all of uniform size and
construction.
Fuel Dealer

Tax Charges
PORTLAND, Jan. lS.-iP)-Ed-ward
Stortz, Salem fuel dealer,
was arrested in Salem today on a
secret-, federal grand Jury indict
