The proposal by the legislative

to open up the welfare rolls to
public inspection received the ap
proval Saturday of County Courts
represents ted at a committee hear
ing ion the subject. i
Representatives of the Benton,
Clackamas, Crook, , Curry, Jack
son, Lane, Marion, Umatilla and
Yamhill county courts endorsed
the, idea. -
Opposing it were Baker, Klam
ath and Wasco counties. The only
other - county represented. was
Multnomah, which didn't vote.
The bill provides that the names
of .persons getting - welfare aid,
except those receiving help under
the aid to dependent children law,
be posted with the county clerks
each month- The names could not
be published or used for com
mercial purposes. ! '
Restore Confidence ' '
Rep. David Rairm, IaGrande,
member of the committee, told the
county courts that the bill "would
restore public confidence in the
welfare system. The public has a
right to know how its dollar is
spent
Baum and Sen. Rex Ellis, Pen
dleton, predicted that the bill
would reduce the number of per
sons getting aid from the public
welfare program.
He said that Indiana, which has
a law similar to the bill, reduced
its , welfare load from 79,000 to
68,000 cases.
A public hearing will be held on
the bill next Thursday, as well as
on the bill to put more teeth in
the relative responsibility law.
Approval Given ;
The county courts ; also gave
their, approval to the new relative
responsibility bilL ; -
Oregon first required husbands,
wives, parents and children to con
tribute to the support of the needy'
in 1949.' :
Rep. Alva Goodrich, Bend, ex
plained that the bill would put
more teeth in it by adding broth
ers and sisters to the relatives who
should provide support." It in
creases the contributions required,
and lets the welfare department
obtain tax commission statements
as to the Income of the relatives.
Earnings Specified .
Under the bill, a single person
earning less than $2,700 a year
wouldn't bo required to contribute.
A married couple without children
could earn $4,000 without paying
support. A couple with one or two
children would be exempt if they
earned less than $4,500, while the
Exemption would be $3,000 for
couples with three children.
The bill also would enable the
welfare commissions to file liens
against the property of those who
refused to. provide support after I

The worst snowstorm of the sea

drifts that towered as high as
trees in at least one sate.
The storm center that had
whipped up blizzards from the
Rocky Mountains to Lake Superior
moved into Ontario. As the cold
front moved eastward, the air
churned and temperatures dropped.
Winds of gale force buffeted New
York State. The blow ranged from
35 to 55 miles an hour in the
western part of the state, with
gusts between 60 and 80. Buffalo's
temperature plummeted 26 degrees
in less than three hours.
In Rochester, a 62 mile an hour

The U. N. supreme commander,
in a letter to North Korean .and
Chinese Red bosses in Korea, said
the U. N. is prepared "to carry
out the provisions of the Geneva
Convention" and exchange sick and
wounded prisoners
"I wish to be informed whether
you are prepared for your part

At FaamanJon
Clark's letter was handed to the
Reds at Panmunjom.
: The U. N. chief said the Leasue
of Red Cross Societies in Geneva
on Dec. 13, 1352, adopted a resolu
tion urging both sides in the Ko
rean conflict to take Immediate
action to exchange sick and wound
ed prisoners in accordance with
appropriate articles of the Geneva
Convention."
Clark said the U. N. reoeatedlv
had urged the Communists at Pan
munjom to exchange sick and
wounded POWs.
Ready to Repatriate
He said the U. N. C. "remains
ready immediately to repatriate
tnose seriously sick and seriously
wounded - captured personnel who
are fit - to travel in accordance
with provisions of Article 109 of
the Geneva Convention.":
He said U. N. C. liaison officers
were ready to meet Red liaison
officers to make arrangements for
impartial verification of the con
dition and mutual exchange of
such seriously sick and wounded."
Tne U. N. C. holds more than
120,000 North Korean and Chinese
prisoners, the ' Reds less than a
tenth I that many. There are no
figures available on how many are
seriously sicx said wounded.
Not New Policy
WASHINGTON UFi State De
partment officials said Saturday
night that General Mark Clark's
request to the Communists to ex
change sick and wounded prisoners
of war was simply the latest of a
long series of efforts to effect such
an exchange and meant no new
policy on the part of the U. N. Com
mand In Korea.
The present proposal by Clark.
it was said, is in response to a
resolution adopted by the League
of Red Cross Societies meeting at
Geneva in December. The resolu
tion called on both sides to ex
change sick and wounded prison
er. Officials said : that the U. N.
Command has been trying to get
the Communists to agree to such
an exchange since the armistice
