Daylight Time
Dispute Raises
Legal Issues
Problems a c C o m panying the
start of daylight saving time face
Oregon citizens Sunday when
Portland makes the switch to the
earlier time.
Salem telephone users who dial
2-8900 for the time of day will
have to subtract one hour begin
ning Sunday as the telephone
company will switch to the dif
ferent time at the Portland office
which serves Salem.
The state board of control
Thursday discussed the problem
of beer drinking hours for Port
land to decide whether curfew
will be on daylight or standard
time. At the request of Gov.
Douglas McKay,, Attorney Gen
eral George Neuner will give a
legal opinion.
Neuner will also be asked
whether state offices in Portland
should go on fast time. State
Treasurer Walter Pearson told the
board his Portland office would
go on daylight time Sunday. Sec
retary of State Earl Newbry said
he would make a decision later.
Most serious problem will face
the board of control in mid-July
when the new state law requir
ing use of standard time unless
the governor puts the whole state
on daylight time becomes effec
tive. Governor McKay said "111
really be on the spot when that
law goes 'into effect."

Pearson Urges
McKay Veto
Pension Bill
Asserting the old ago pension
bill on Gov. Douglas McKay's
desk is a veritable home-wrecker,
State Treasurer Walter Pear
son Thursday urged the governor
by letter to veto tht bill.
Pearson said the provision that
children must support their par
ents is one of the worst features
of the measure, house bill 436 of
the recent legislature.
He also objected that the bill
does not guarantee the $50 month
ly pensions which voters approv
ed, and that it does give the
state a prior claim on the estates
of pensioners.
Wrote Pearson, I believe that
virtually all children will help
their parents as much as possi
ble. It is a fact, however, that
the children are entitled to bo
come married and raise famiHes
of their own. In doing so the
majority need most of their in
comes to support their own fami
lies. "It is also a well known fact
that if in-laws are forced to live
with their children it often breaks
up, not only the home of the
children, but the home of the
parents as well. I feel that the
parents are entitled to receive
their pension and that the chil
dren voluntarily should and could
probably help to keep them going
with a small contribution each
month. The fact that elder do
pendents have children should not
deprive them of a pension."
