' Main features of the plan, which were reported by Judd last No ' vember, are being polished and brought up to date, he said. The pro posed bill would boost virtually . all elected county officials' salar - ies and would erase existing dis ; cfepancies between scales of var ious officials. - Judd stressed Wednesday that Ithe bill was not yet ready for . presentation but that "he was , working on it." It is a recommen , Ration of the Oregon County Clerks association and is endorsed, he said, by practically all the other county official groups. In this county an annual salary of $4,800 would be paid alike to the county clerk, sheriff, assessor, school superintendent and countv Judge. The county treasurer an f recorder would receive $4,4000 and the two county Ticommissioner, $3,840 each, i Present wage scales for these officials are $3,600 for sheriff, assessor, treasurer, scheot super intendent, recorder, and commis sioners, and $3,840 for the clerk and county judge. : For Polk county the annual scale would be. under th pro posed bill, $3,720 for the county clerk, sheriff, assessor, school superintendent and county judge. The county treasurer would get $3,300 and the county commission- rs, $10 per day. The proposed plan would oper . ate on federal census population ; figures. In this category Marion J county Is in the 75,000 to 100,000 population class and Polk in the I 10,000 to 25,000 group. p "Larry Soulier Quits as Head Of Art Gallery Resignation of T. L.

"The matter," ho added, "was completely and thoroughly review ed by a committee, the board of deacons and the entire congrega tion, all of whom found the ac cusations entirely false and with out foundation."
