ority. :- - :: --- - : :r- -v

' state highway engineer; and the
highway commission" by passing

Rep. Edward Geary,' Klamath

money.
Rep. Robert W. Root, Medford,
supported the proposal to exempt
schools from paying the gas tax.
- "When schools pay gas tax, it's
just a case of taking money out

Bill to Allow Hospital Boards A
To Set Standards Stirs Debate
Charees and denial that a senate bill giving hospital district direc
tors authority to form their own hospital standards would discriminate
against the healing arts and many patients developed at a Hearing
before the senate public health committee here Monday.
Osteopaths, chiropractics and naturopaths said they would not be
permitted to practice in these district hospitals if the measure received
legislative approval. i
Dr. Allen M. Boyden, Portland,
member of the board of governors,
American College of Surgeons, de
clared that the only way tot control
the operation of hospitals and the
persons practicing therein! is for
the directors to i: have adequate
control. "It i would be unthinkable
to establish these hospitals without
proper standardization,' Dir. Boy
den averred, f . .
Suppress Minorities
The bill was attacked by James
R. Shick, Forest Grove attorney,
representing the Osteopathic asso
ciation. He charged that th meas-
ure
would ' suppress minority
groups. Also declaring the bill dis
criminatory was Pr. M. C. Mix,
Roseburg, representing the Oregon
Association of : Chiropractiq Physi
cians. "Our people even went, so
far, as to offer to; furnish a room
in a Roseburg hospital b it were
fcef used," Dr. Mix (averred.! .
' Shick contended that the1 current
law is fair to the healing irts and
urged that it remain on th$ statute
books unamended. He said the
1949 law was' not discrirrjinatory.
The new bill' would legalize dis
crimination, Dr. j.G. D. Parrott,
alumni association. Western States
college, Portland, said.
Must Maintain Standards
Glenn D., Howell, administrator
of the Hood River hospital, said
the first responsibility of Hospitals
and physicians is or should be in
the interest of the patients. "We
must have: certain quali ications
Jand maintain: certain standards,"
Howell declared. j
"I think the directors should
have something definite to say
who shall practice in thse hos
pitals," J Srunk.f Redmond, said.
He told 'the committee that Red
mond had one of the first district
hospitals established in the entire
state and it was operating Success
fully. - - I ' -
Others who spoke in lavor of
the bill were Attorney John L.
Foote, representing the St Helens
Medical association; Ralph T.
Moore, appearing for the heavy
industries ; of the jCoos Bay area,
and Jean ; E. Hamilton, Portland,
president of the state nu: ses as
sociation. I
Foote said "we fwant oi r direc
tors to have authority o make
regulations." i i J
Committee Chairman Jack Lynch
said the bill j probably wlould be
given further; consideration at an
executive session Jater j in the
week. ; 'I 1
fErrarit Father
Law' Approved
Bv House Vote
f i
The house,
senting vote
with only one dis-
Monday, approved
the "errant father law'
and sent
it to the governor.
The measure will allow divorced
or separated iworhen or the state
welfare department to brihgcourt
actions in other ; states io make
fathers support -their chilpren.
Under the law, Oregon ill have
a reciprocal agreement with 19
other states to bring noa-paying
fathers to time when they fail to
support children they abandon or
leave in Oregon.
The other 19 states may also
bring action in Oregon fto force
fathers to pay support I money,
California and Washington legis
lature passed a similar law in ses
sions this year, and-Idahd already
has the law on its books.
Under present Haw, it lis diffi
cult for Oregon mothers fo collect
support money .when their es
tranged mates move to other states
Their only recourse Is to have the
"errant fathers" jailed arid extra
dited to Oregon.

House
Defeats
Restriction on
School Chiefs
The house Monday voted 33 to
22 to . defeat a proposal which
would have required all Oregon
public . school administrators to-
obtain eligibility certificates from
the state department of education
before taking over as school su
pervisors. ; ;i
The law was requested by the
advisory committee on education
which studied Oregon's elemen
tary and secondary school system
under the leadership of Dr. T.iC.
Holy, Ohio university education
expert j . , : '; , : I; .; . j I
Net Compulsory I
Under present law, the state de
partment of education has been
issuing certificates to administra
tors, but the requirement is not
compulsory. "The compulsory l&w
would not have affected present
school administrators. i
The proposed law defeated by
the house would have required
high school principals to have a
master's degree and five years ex
perience before being qualified
for certificates. j
Rep. Mark Hatfield, Salem,
ged passage of the law, saying it
would improve education stand
ards, provide better administra
tors and save the taxpayers mon
ey in the long run.
Assure Qualified Leaders
"School administrators are re
quired to have special knowledge
to carry out their positions," Hat
field declared. "These require
ments would assure the public
that our school leaders are quali
fied." ...
Rep. ! David Blum, LaGrande,
objected to the bill, stating ! "it
delegates legislative authority: to
the board of education. He said
the proposal left the standards en
tirely up to the department of ed
ucation with no legislative check
provided. . ii -
Rep. G. D. Gleason, Portland,
said a grade school graduate with
business experience might make a
better school administrator than
a person with a master's degree in
education. j
"School administrators are no
toriously poor business men,"
Gleason commented. !
Rep. Elliott B. Cummins, Mc
Minnville, said "It is proper that
the legislature should delegate
this authority to the department
of education which has the know
ledge and experience of what is
required in a school administra
tor." j
Hatfield gave notice that
he
would ask the house to reconsid
er it action later this week.
House Votes to
Clarify Linn's
Cattle Range Law
A bill to clarify Linn county's
cattle range law was approved in
the house Monday and sent to the
senate, j " j
The proposal would designate as
open range all the territory east of
the foothills west of the Cascade
mountain range. All the territory
west of the foothills would be de
clared ! closed range, and cattle
would not be allowed to run at
large in this area. j
1 Rep. Melvin Goode, Albany, said
the new law was needed because
it is now necessary for individual
precincts to hold elections to de
clare their territory open or closed
range. , i
Because of this, Goode explained,
such heavily-populated areas as
Albany, Lebanon and Sweet Home
are still designated as open range
where
livestock may roam
at
large.
