Salem delegation of 20 men, head
ed by Chamber President Roy

el Highway Chairman Banfield,
addressing the Salem delegation
fter their 10-minute presentation.
-Its nearly $15,000,000."
Harland asked for immediate

muse of heavy traffic to be car
ried during dam construction. The
avo bridges on the route connect -ng

Shelton Denied
Hearing on
Firing Protest
Hearing requested by Earl R.
Shelton, 31, discharged from the
Oregon state hospital staff here
September 8 on charges of cruel
4 fnf ura r-atNies( In mt
order released by the state civil
service commission Tuesday.
The' hearing was denied, com
mission members said, because
Shelton was a conditional em-
. ploye and not a regular employe.
. Conditional employes are those
who hold their jobs without tak
ing civil service examinations and
do not have the same hearing
rights as employes who have tak
en examinations.
Commission officials said exam
inations never have been given
for hospital attendant jobs.
The commission could grant a
hearing to a conditional employe
If there was evidence that his dis
charge was based on political, ra
cial or religious charges, Robert
Johnson, commission administra
tor, said.
Shelton submitted no evidence
that those Issues are Involved, ac
cording to Johnson. Only com
munication the commission recei
ved from Shelton was a request
for a hearing.
Dr. Charles E. Bates, hospital
superintendent, said Shelton and
Joe McSata both were discharged
for abusing patients. McSata said
he was leaving Oregon and did
not ask for a hearing.
