Joseph E. .Harvey of Port land introduced a bill in the House Friday to permit the State Wel fare Commission to require rela tives to contribute to the support of the aged only after district at torneys file suit. This in effect would transfer the matter from welfare commis sion to the courts. The Harvey bill also would repeal the scale of con tributions expected from relatives under the present law. This and other current legisla tive phases of the old age pension issue will be discussed at public hearing Thursday at 2:30 pjn. be fore a welfare subcommittee of the joint ways and means committee. Meanwhile the subcommittee will confer Saturday with county courts from many sections of Ore gon on budgets and other welfare items. A major issue up for discussion will be whether the county courts as members of the County Wel fare Commissions, favor making available for public inspection the public welfare rolls. Records deal ing with dependent children would be exempt under the- bill now before the legislature. Another question is whether the county courts favor a bill making brothers and sisters liable to con tribute to the support of relatives receiving public assistance. Only sons and daughters are liable to contribute under the current rela tive responsibility law. The public welfare rolls could not be used for commercial or po litical purposes.

There work on the project is being done by 60 State Prison trusties assigned to South Fork Prison camp. When home on leave "a few months ago young Keppinger went to the' camp to visit his dad. Pris oners became acquainted and lik ed him. When they learned he'd been wounded the trusties made a special blood donation offer. Blood was given by 33 of them. . KeppingerVparents learned in a letter this week that their son is recuperating in the Army hospital in satisfactory matter. But his. legs have . not sufficiently mended to allow him to return to duty. Keppinger is with the 179th Regiment of- the 45 th Infantry Di vision. He entered Army service a year ago this week.

Percival Jones By Donkin Bros. Fairgrounds " Street Project Being Studied Salem . city officials are cook ing up a plan to run a permanent city street right through the State Fairgrounds from Silverton Road to Woodrow Street. -: Flans are In ! the preumlnary stage, - it was . reported- Friday State Fair officials must be con sulted. f . . : - - - - . . ; . f. , ' ' Actually the street would be a continuation of N. 16th St. which now ends at the fairground's south fence line.
