State Employes
Offer Plan for
Legislation
A three-point legislative pro
gram covering parity pay, a Jan
uary 1 effective date on new wage
schedules, and appropriations for
maintenance of parity pay, will be
be presented to the 1949 legisla
ture by the Oregon State Employes
association, it was decided at a
meeting in Salem Saturday.
The board of directors of the
group with Forrest Stewart, ex
ecutive secretary, and F. Leo
Smith, legal counsel, mapped the
program in an all day meetings at
the Senator hotel.
Parity pay would give employes
In governmental agencies com
parable salaries to those employed
in industry to attract and retain
better workers.
The new wage schedule will add
about $33 per month to salaries,
but the association fears that un
less it is effective January 1
when the $20 cost of living in
crease expires discontent, and
low morale will promote a rapid
turnover of personnel.
Appropriations for the emer
gency fund would be to guarantee
finance parity pay under any cost-of-living
increase.
Amendments to the retirement
act will also be presented for legis
lative consideration, the board decided.

Security Board
Devises War
Powers Plan
By Sterling F. Green
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18-iJPi-An
outbreak of war would bring an
almost instant freeze of wages,
prices and jobs if congress ap
proves "looking ahead" plans of
the staff of the National Security
Resources board (NSRB). .
The proposed "National War
Emergency Act" rests on President
Truman's desk, not yet approved
by him or by the seven cabinet
members who make up the board.
It is nowhere near action by
congress.
A board spokesman said a draft
may be made public about Jan
uary 15 perhaps in a special
message by Mr. Truman to con
gress. The NSRB staff expects
by then to have ready detailed
operating plans for each of the
20 or so broad economic powers
in the proposed law.
"Very rigid" controls over man
power would be included, it was
stated. An excess profits tax,
priorities, plant seizure powers, a
ban against hoarding, and full
rationing authority are planned.
These standby powers would be
vested in the president. He could
invoke them at once if the coun
try were attacked, by declaring
a state of hostilities.
If war's onset were slower a
case of a cold war getting hotter
it would be up to congress to
declare the existence of the war
emergency which would set the
controls in motion.
Most active U. S. centers for
lightning are Vicksburg, Miss.,
Tampa, Fla., and Santa Fe. N. M.,
which average from 60 to 90 thun
derstorm days a year.
