4 Pay Increase In Squabble As to Date Some members of the joint ways and means committee balked Fri day at a proposal of the Marion county delegation that the pro posed $30-a-month average pay increases for state employes be made effective immediately, in stead of July 1, and some of them declared if the bill were returned to them they would cut the, ift crease to $20. , The Marion county delegation was represented by Rep. W. w Chadwick, who told the commit tee immediate application of the measure would require an addi tional appropriation from the gen eral fund approximating $65,000. Sen. Dean Walker moved that the request to advance the effec tive date be referred to the was and means salary subgroup. "If this salary program comes back to my committee I want it understood that I will go on rec ord for a $20 a month in crease in stead of the average $30 a month boost previously recommended. Sen. Angus Gibson declared. Gib son is chairman of the salary in vestigating group. Gibson said he didn't like the lobbying carried on by represen tatives of the employes' groups. A similar attitude was expressed by Sen. Austin Flegel. Members of the ways and means committee salary investigating group, other than Gibson, are Sens. Carl Engdahl and- Stewart Hardie and Reps. Rudie Wllhelm and Earl McNutt. The ways and means committee recommended approval of - a bill appropriating $150,000 for pur chase of land for a state highway commission office building here. Desh Staff s Busy at House, Seriate Chambers i Family Aid of Pensioners To Be Sought A bill requiring relatives to as sist with the support of applicants for public assistance was intro duced in the house Friday by the joint was and means committee. The measure would provide that husbans, wives, fathers., mothers, sons or daughters should contrib ute on the basis of a "relatives' contribution scale," ranging from - $15 a month for persons earning between $195 and $254 a month' If they have but one dependent, to $100 a month for those-earning over $555 a month. The $100 would be the maximum and is re duced in proportion to the number of dependents. For instance, a person earning $555 would pay $100 if he had but one dependent but $20 if he had 30 dependents. A person with two dependents would not be forced to contribute unless his earnings ex ceeded S255 a month). The "earnings" per month would be figured as one-twelfth of the annual net -income after federal taxes. The bill provides that a married daughter would not be forced to contribute unless she had suffici ent separate income. ,It also pro vides that a recipient of public as sistance, by accepting such assist ance, thereby consents to there covery of money from persons li able under the proposed law. In "unusual" cases the liability of the relative would be less, at the dis cretion of the public welfare com mission. ; Failure of relatives to make re quired contributions would, not be grounds for denying or discontin uing state assistance to needy per sons, but the state could take ac tion against them if the recipient did not " - ... 1 v s -J"' r -W' m"" f't ' . - f"' -if ( VaiMey (DIbStfiiflairSes Wilbur Martin LYONS Wilbur Martin, 91, died Friday morning at a .

Austin Dunn. Baker, asking the voters to allow the legislature to define the word "lottery" in the constitution; The proposal would have left the lottery question entirely with the legislature instead of the courts, if aproved by the voters. Dunn urged passage of his -measure, stating the present law ties the hands of the legislature. "The existing law prevents the state from taxing gambling which Is going on whether we like it or not" Dunn said. "If we don't recognize it, we are burying our heads in the sand." Sen. Frank H. Hilton, Portland, attacked the measure, saying it "merely legalizes gambling." Ev ery racketeer in the state would be asking the legislature to con done its particular racket." Sen. Phil Hitchcock, Klamath Falls, supported Hilton, declaring "we shouldn't adopt laws to con venience our weaknesses." Supporting the measure were Sens. Bain. BulL Dunn, Ellis, Ma honey and Musa.

The measure, signed by Speak er Frank Van Dyke and others, points to a "duplication and over lapping of public duties and ser vices, and unnecessary use of pub lic property such as office facili ties and motor vehicles." The committee would be em powered to spend up to $10,000 and members would receive $10 per day in addition to their ex penses. Van Dyke explained that the provision was designed to al low persons to serve who might otherwise be financially unable.

PryotC? gdriadcit 'Abctf 2 j 943 ' House Refuses To Consider Curb on Labor A move to re-consider a bill repealing the state law requiring secret labor elections was defeat ed in the house Friday. The bill (HB 99) was beaten Monday when the house" voted 29 to 27 on a motion to substitute a minority do-pass committee re port for the majority do-not-pass. The 29 votes were in favor of the do-pass report but it did not comprise a majority (31) of the house. The motion to reconsider the measure Friday was made by Rep. Paul Geddes of Roseburg, who said he was opposed to the bill but considered that due to con fusion in the original voting the proponents were entitled to a new chance. The refusal to re-consider was by a vote of 35 in favor to 24 against. It would have taken 40 votes (two-thirds of the house) to have brought reconsideration. In the Senate Hillcrest Age Limit 19 to 25 The house Friday re-passed the senate-amendcu bill making the age limits for the Hillcrest girls' school from 19 to 25.
