Expenditures
For Defense
Gain Support
A bill appropriating $379,200 for
the purchase of civil defense
equipment for Oregon cities will
be introduced by the legislative
joint ' ways and means committee,
it decided at a meeting here Thurs
day. ? . ;
The state civil defense organiza
tion, of which Jack- Hayes is di
rector, originally had requested an
appropriation' of $688,000, but the
committee reduced that figure. Of
the total appropriation $268,000
would be used for buying organi
zational equipment on a matched
basis. Cities would contribute 25
per cent, the state 25 per cent and
the ' federal government 50 per
cent. Of the additional $111,200
earmarked for mobile support the
state would contribute 50 per cent
and' 'the federal government 50
per cent. '
The committee approved a bill
under which the 11 western states
would cooperate in providing ed
ucation in specialized graduate
schools. Under this plan a state
having an outstanding graduate
school would accept students from
other states, with the home state
paying part of the tuition Com
mittee members said this would
make it possible to build up the
current schools and make it un
necessary for the states to estab
lish more graduate schools of their
own.
Students from other states could
come to the University of Oregon
Medical school while Oregon stu
dents could go to the Washington
State Veterinary school.
It - requires only five states to
ratify the agreement and Oregon
would be the fifth.
The committee approved a $1,
738,349 appropriation for the state
military department, plus $200,000
for the construction of armories.
The ! federal government would
contribute ' $600,000 for armory
construction. First of the new
armories are proposed at Baker,
The Dalles and Forest Grove.
There was no opposition to a
bill permitting the state board of
higher education to refund ap
proximately $7,000,000 of out
standing bonds. Board officials
said : operation of this bill, if ap
proved by the legislature, would
save the state a "minimum of $1,
200,000. Posse Holds

cial problems. .... .

Fire Permits
Canceled as
Humidity Drops
All slash burning permits so far
issued by the state forestry de
partment were canceled Friday be
cause of a new wave of warmer,
drier and windier weather which
began covering Oregon. The de
partment said no forest fires were
burning yesterday;
This order was issued by Acting
Forester Dwight' Phipps, affecting
permits under which no burning
has been started. Where fires have
begun, the' responsibility for ex
tinguishing or controlling the blaze
is with the district warden.
Cause of the cancellation was
the presence of a cold, dry mass of
air advancing steadily from Can
ada and across Oregon.
The picture of the change was
dramatized Friday morning, when
Portland's humidity was down to
27 per cent while Salem's was still
up to 78 per cent.
