Many Ask McKay To Veto Old Age Pension Measure Gov. Douglas McKay has re ceived about 400 letters and tele grams asking him to veto the leg islature s old ago pension bill. Ho also has received a few asking him to sign it. The governor's office said the pension bill has drawn more let ters and telegrams than any other bill passed by tho legislature. The main objection on the part of old age pensioners is the pro vision to give tho state claims against tho estates of deceased pensioners. But there also are ob jections that the bill does not pro vide a $30 minimum monthly pension. The governor also has received many letters and telegrams asking him to sign the bill which would place Columbia river barge linos under the jurisdiction of the public utilities commissioner. These com munications have come from all sections of the state, and the gov ernor's aides said they couldn't explain why the sudden statewide interest in the bill. The barge linos are asking the governor to veto it. One female praying mantis has been known to devour as many as eight enamored males. Slain -Held - t r. -.if"' 22 mm ' vl. f,.i T If ' f .
