Plan Would Fix
AceoAgto&nsnsFignres
A bUl calling for a plan of fixing county officials' salaries according
to population "figures is being prepared this Week for eventual intro
duction into the state legislature, Marion County Clerk Harlan Judd
said Wednesday.
' 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.

Baptist Minister Cliarged ivith
Having Affairs With 40 Women
GLEND ALE, Calif, Jan. 12-(JP-A Baptist minister, father of four
children, today blamed "disgruntled" parishioners for charges he had
affairs with 40 feminine members of his church.
rr t whitromb Broucher ir 46. pastor of the Glendale First
Baptist church for 21 years and himself the son of a minister, labeled
"entirely false" charges made in
Superior court.
Mrs. Sadie Williams and Fletch
er Edgar Maxwell said they were
suing for members of the church.
Mrs. Williams and Maxwell
complained that they j sought to
bring before the church member
ship evidence of "fantastic con
duct" and "incredible peccadillos"
of the pastor, but that Dr. Brough
er removed deacons who wanted
to present the charges
(The dictionary lists a peccadil
lo as a light or trifling sin.)
Other Allegations
The suit alleged further that:
"In condemnation and rejection
of church views and Christianity,
J, Whitcomb Brougher, jr., has
debauched many of the women
members of bis congregation.
"He has caused disruption in the
marital relations of numerous fam
ilies. I
"He has promiscuously osculat
ed (kissed) young girls who are
members of the congregation.
"He has openly boasted of hav
ing meretricious (vuglar) relations
with over 40 women, j
MlnUter Disports - j
"He has been known to main
tain a mistress and otherwise dis
port himself in a mostvreprehen
sible manner. i
The minister, in a i statement,
said the action "is only a repetion
of accusations brought four years
ago by a small disgruntled group
of members and former members
of the church."
"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."
