College Group For Bill Hitting Discrimination A voluntary group has been formed on Willamette university campus to support Senate Bill 6, the bill for fair employment prac tice, which is now before the legis lature. Carolyn Wilks of Salem was one of the moving spirits in the group. Others who are active are Jack Gunn of Monmouth, Mary Louise Lee and Prudence Craig of Salem. SB 6 creates a commission, pat terned after the one in New York state, to enforce laws prohibiting discrimination in employment on account of race, color or creed. The Willamette group has cir cularized Protestant ministers over the state and is enlisting support of students on other college cam puses. -It hopes to build up wide spread popular endorsement of the bill to obtain its enactment. Tax Proposed On Businesses Of Cliurclies. A proposal to tax religious, charitable and educational cor porations doing business in Oregon for profit was among recommen dations handed to the legislature Wednesday by the Association of Oregon Counties. The recommen dations were not in bill form, however. Judge F. L. Phipp. The Dalles, representative of the association, aid the suggestion was directed at churches and schools now ope rating profitable businesses with out paying corporate excise taxes. The judge pointed to one school operating a saw mill in southern Oregon in competition with pri vate mills who are subject to the corporations levy. Similar recom mendations have been turned over to previous legislatures, but t no action was taken. Another recommendation would amend all laws applying to coun ties of 100,000 and 150,000 popu lation to provide that the sta tutes would apply only to coun ties of more than 200.000 popu lation (there is only one Mult nomah). . ' Other recommendations includ ed those to: Provide tbat advance collec tions of personal property taxes by assessors shall be final and not subject to further collections and refunds based on new levies. Make step-fathers responsible for support of step-children. Amend to provide that prop erty tax levies for welfare pur poses shall be outside the 6 per cent limit the same as tax levies for retirement of bonds voted by people. Provide preferred claims against estates of deceased recipients of public welfare. Bill Seeks to Bar Name on State Forms A measure to ban the secretary f state's name from appearing on state booklets and forms was in troduced in the senate Wednes day by Sen. Richard Neuberger f Portland. Neuberger said his bill involves no personal feeling regarding any public official but is designed to correct misuse of long standing.' "It is merely recognition of the fact that for the past 20 years the ffice of secretary of state has become a vast propaganda ag ency," the Portland author said. The office has used the resources of the state printing department mad the state's postage bill to spread the name of one man to very nook and cranny of Oregon. "The political impact of this propaganda has become so wide spread that, almost invariably the incumbent secretary of state is the leading vote getter in every Oregon election. "The final travesty." Neuberg er concluded, is permitting the same aX the secretary state to appear on the cover of the voters' pamphlet, a publication in , which all candidates are presumed to bave equal, spaces. Yet one par ticular candidate, the secretary of state, dominates the cover of that pamphlet." Capitol Zone Plan Model to Be on Display A capitol ; 7one development plan prepared1 by the Salem long range planning commission will be placed on display, in model form, at the Oregon statehouse next week. Engineer C. A. McClure of the n .j commission said Wednesday hoped it would attract the atten tion, and support, of legislators. J The plan envisions the extension j of major state buildings in blocks from the present capitol group north as far as Mill creek beyond Union street. The building area would ex tend from Capitol to Winter street, ' with the Summjer street blocks j between left vacant as a park site. ! CM ' 'It-Slot? Salem Healing and Sheet Nelal Co.

Oregon Day or Night f Ith Watson at Neuberger Plan Adds Students, Stalls School Building Projects By Ralph Watson Senator Neuberger of Portland and Senator Holmes of Astoria, by the authority of their joint: senate bill 9, are going to establish and have built the University of Oregon Junior college at Portland. It is to be a modest $2 million institution and it Lis going to be given "priority,! thy say back in Washington, D. C. over the construc tion of anything at any of the other educational institutions in the state under the control or admin- istration bf the board of Higher ! Education:. In fact the bill saysif rill lit IOC ItffWfn very succinctly in section $. that i viUUllllCiS 11J.1t1 no building program involving the expenditure of more than $100,000 be undertaken on 'tn c a mp u s of any institution under the iun- - j ?f diction of the ' i Oregonistate board of: higher f i tf s education: until after t hi estab lishment pt Uni versity of Ore gon Jumbr Col lege at Portland." It is hot en tirely plain, at Balm Watsen least there seems to be some un certainty about how the new col lege can be established, set up and got to going, ahead of all the other far-mapped building pro grams set out for the various high er institutions of learning. At least not until the proposition has been sanctioned by a vote of the people at the next general or special elec tion. However that Is a question for the attorney general, the ways and mean committee and finally the legislature itself to determine. Past Campaigns Recalled Just thinking back however, re vives the memory of a number of past campaigns for the establish ment and; location of various nor mal schools, medical! schools and what not here and there over the state from Union to Jackson coun ties. But whether senators Neuber ger and Holmes can get their Jun ior endeavor over the hump of the constitution is not the main in teresting uncertainty about ; the transaction. What makes you stop, look and listen is the provision of section 9 about the expenditure of more than $100,000 per campus un til after the $2 million for the Jun ior institution has all been spent and the new prexy is hired and ready to ring the bell for the boys and girls to come in and get their reading, writing and what not. Glimpse at Budget If you take a glimpse over in the back of the new and puzzling budget which has been prepared for the entertainment of the sen ators and representatives one gets the impression that the various in stitutions under the jurisdiction of the board of higher education, un der the caption off "immediate needs," are up against the gaff to the aggregate tune of $12 4 mil lion, calculated for capital Invest ment during 1949-51.; And that is only half the story, for a footnote at the bottom of the page carries the information that "All mini mum capital outlay needs to care for present student enrollment ag gregate $244 million, a indicated above. To go a little more into detail, the "immediate needs' of the Uni versity of Oregon at Eugene are listed at $5,175,000; at Oregon State the figure is $5 million fiat; the Eastern Oregon Normal's im mediate need is $300,000; Southern Oregon Normal $200,000: , Mon mouth Normal $225,000; MediefJ Dental hospital at Portland $1,500, 000. According to the provisions of section 9, of the Heuberger-Hol-mes offering, the, entire higher edu cational building program would be stymied and shelved until after the $2 million Junior college was finished. That is, apparently, un less they nibbled at the program in less than $100,000 lots during the junior construction period. Favors Alaskan Ststdenta In order to make; things still more interesting for the ways and means committee, announcement has come from Senator Neuberger, that he has another . bill in the off ing which would allow students; from Alaska to come down to Ore gon and go to school and college for the same tuition and matri culating fees charged : Oregon stu dents. This, the senator is quoted as believing, "would strengthen the cultural ties between our state and Alaska" ' Also it undoubtedly would bulge the boarding houses and the class rooms where the Oregon students now are batching in trailer Camps and such, pending some progress toward the completion of the build ing program. Authority Asked In Power Crisis j A measure to authorize Gov. Douglas McKay to deal with Ore gon's electric power shortage during any crisis wa. submitted in the senate Wednesday by Sen. Thomas Mahoney. Portland. It would permit the governor to empower the public utilities commissioner to cancpi power de- uvnio ii iijr priwii ui vusines during the shortage. 4 " iwasaialsiH T Our Specialty Is Promptness Dr. E.

Both Marion and Lane counties , have passed the 100.000 popula tion mark, according to unofficial estimates, and therefore will be governed by many laws which have been adopted solely for Mult nomah county, unless action Is taken. On a motion by Marion County Judge 'Grant Murphy, the delega tion authorized the county court to hire sufficient legal assistance to redraft at least 19 bills dealing with Lane and Marion counties. Marion County District Attorney Edward O. Stadter, jr., was dele-, gated to head the law revision group and will employ several at torneys to complete the work. Sen. Allan Carson of Salem told the group that it would probably re quire one month or more to re write the acts. Judge Murphy urged that the work begin immediately if the bills are to be passed during the 1949 session. Rep." Earl Hill and Sen. Truman Chase, members 'of the Lane coun ty delegation, indicated that Lane county would share costs of the revision project since their coun ty is also vitally affected. Unless new laws are enacted be fore the 1951 census is completed. Marlon and Lane counties would become miniature editions of Mult nomah county complete with its laws and additional expenses. Among other things, their coun ty courts would be abolished. Three more district judges would replace present justices of the peace and another circuuit judge would be added. A domestic rela tions juge and jury commission would be neeed and a jury list of more than 2,000 would be man datory. Colored Oleo Again Sought By Mahoney A bih to allow sales of colored i oleomargarine in Oregon a bi-! ennial subject of controversy was introduced in the senate Wed nesday by Sen. Thomas Mahoney of Portland. The present state law permits only sales of the uncolored pro ject. Housewives must do the mixing with color capsules sup plied with the product. : Mahoney brought the same measure into the 1947 session and it was killed in the senate.

Sen. Fraik Hilton, Portland re publican, introduced a resolution asking the leegislature to commend Mayor Dorothy Lee McCullough, also a republican, for her "fear less" campaign against gambling and vice in Portland. Sen. Thomas Mahoney, Portland democrat, immediately countered with another resolution to con gratulate democratic Sheriff Mar ion L. Elliott of Multnomah coun ty for his gambling raid on a roadhouse outside Portland Tues day night. Martin L. Pratt, former republi- ran sheriff rlofoatorl hv Fl ,,. in : November, was among officials in the madhouse when the raid oc curred. Cut in Liquor Defended by Administration William Hammond, administra tor for the state liquor commis sion, denied Wednesday that the commission had reduced the prices of some brands of liquor for the purpose of encouraging more drinking. He appeared at a meeting of the house alcoholic committee. Hammond said the real purpose of the price cuts was to move some undesirable liquors in pre ference to the better types. "By doing this we aeso were able to Lreduce our inventories of liquors uiut Known 10 tne puDiic. Ham mond declared. "The liauor com mission never at any time has attempted to encourage more drinking and never will." Rep. Joseph Harvey asked whether a sincere effort is made to determine the background of licensees and service employes. Harvey mentioned particularly the recent larceny of approxi mately $7000 by a Portland liquor store employe. Hammond said reports that the liquor store employe had a long criminal offense were untrue. The records show, Hammond said, he was twice arrested for vagrancy and once on suspicion of burg lary but there were no convic tions, and none of this informa tion became known to liquor con trol commission officials until af ter he was arrested at Reno last week. Against this record, according to Hammond, was a five year record in the army, with many honorary awards and an honor able, discharge. Hammond told the committee that all applicants for liquor lic enses are investigated thoroughly and in cases where they reside in an incorporated town or city they must receive approval of the council before being granted a license by the commission. Hammond aUo said he could not agree with complaints that liquor dispensaries were too num erous. In some parts of the state the number is sufficient." Ham mond averred, "while in other sections there may not be enough based on population." Claude Monet's painting "Im pressions' was exhibited in 1863 in a special exhibition of paintings turned down by the French offi cial salon. It marked an open re volt against the Salons hostility to all originality and experiments in art. - . - PURE! The lily fcs essbiesM Of pttrUy so tsey tell. When pis red beside fresh Master Bread.
