Keep Control of State I
arks
The Oregon Highway Commis-j
sion fought back Wednesday
Bight against an attempt to create
a commission to run the state
park system, which now is under
the highway commission.
At a hearing before a legisla
tive ways and means subcommit
tee, the commission said it can
run the parks better and cheaper
than a separate commission could.
It suggested that an interim com
mittee study the question for the
next two years. ,
Ex-Prostitute,
Mother, Faces
Perjury Count
SEATTLE UFi The ex-prosti
tute mother' of a 4-year-old girl
was charged with perjury Wed
nesday shortly after denying in
Federal Court that 'she had made
. coastwide trips for immoral pur
poses. .
The woman, 22-year-old Judy
Springer, is the woman friend of
one of four men being tried on
charges they conducted a coast
wide white-slave traffic ring.
On trial are Robert Van Bavel,
36, Portland; James M. Cunning
ham. 33. operator of a San Fran
cisco fixit shop; Richard A. Laf-
ferty, 31. a Los Angeles jeweler,
and Donald Anderson, 33, Seattle.
Immoral Purposes
Thev are accused of transport
ing women across state lines of
Washington, Oregon, cawornia,
Idaho and Montana for immoral
purposes.
Mrs. Springer, also known as
Terry Miles, was a reluctant gov
ernment witness, the first of some
86 scheduled to take the stand,
She said she had been a prostitute
up to "about a year and half ago"
and admitted having lived at Ta-
hoe City., Calif., in the summer
of 1954.
She denied having practiced
prostitution at Tahoe City and it
was on this point the government
charged her with perjury. The
charge led to immediate demands
bv defense attorneys that a mis
trial be declared.
Threat" Made
Mrs. Springer admitted making
trips to Portland, San Francisco,
Tahoe City and Moses Lake, where
she stayed with or saw Anderson
Each trip, she said, was for i
vacation.
The committee, headed by Sen;
Francis Ziegler (R), Corvallis,
also heard arguments on two
other proposed new commissions
one for the Columbia Gorge and
one a State Recreation Commis
lion; : ' 1
In the hearing on a State Parks
Commission, the two sponsors of
the bill said the separate com
mission is needed because the
highway commission lacks vision
and interest to operate the best
park system. ; j
The sponsors' are Sen. Pat Lon
ergan (R) and Rep. Alfred H.
Corbett (D), both of Portland, t
From Gai Taxes
The separate conynission, they
said, could spend $3,500,000 a
biennium for parks, getting the
money from gasoline taxes. The
highway commission, which
spends about a third of that
amount on the 156 state parks,
said that using the ; additional
money would handicap the com
mission s road-building program.

Application of
Airlines Firm
In New Phase
Schools Urged
Not to Spread
OEA Leaflets
WASHINGTON UFi The year-old
certificate renewal proceeding of
West Coast Airlines entered a new
phase this week with completion
of a prehearing conference, - the
filing of new petitions to intervene J
and a new West Coast proposal for:
various route changes.
Civil Aeronautics Board Exam
iner Paul .ff enter conducted ja
prehearing conference Tuesday. A
hearing date will be1 set after he
determines the scope of the
proceeding and issues a consolida
tion order.
West Coast's revised" renewal
application now seeks: '
1. A route -extension from Idaho
Falls to Salt Lake City by way of
Logan and Ogden, Utah: ;
2. A regular route, rather than
a temporary one, between Spokane
and Pasco Kennewick Richland,
Wash. 1 :
3. Redesignation of the present
nonstop authority between Lewis
ton-Clarkston, Idaho, and Boise
as an intermediate stop on ja
seasonal basis, June 15 to Sept. 15.
with authority to overfly McCall
on other than one round trip a day,
4. Addition of Bend-Redmond,
Ore., to West Coast's Klamath
Falls-Portland route, and redesign
nation of the route as between the
terminal Portland, the intermedi
ate points Bend-Redmond, Klamath
Falls, Medford, Roseburg, North
Bend-Coos Bay, Eugene t and
Albany-CorvaQis, and the terminal
Portland.
I -The highway commission also
said it provides many services
at cost to the parks, such as road
building, ; snow removal, sign
making, and bridge construction.
It said it would cost more if an
independent commission had to
pay for these services.
62 Present Parfgf
Tne diu, to create a iive-mem-
ber parks commission, would
take over 62 of the present parks.
The rest,: largely waysides albng
highways, would remain under
the highway commission.
Mrs. Martha Piatt, Portland
clubwoman, cited many instances
where the commission refused to
accept land for state parks. Cor
bett said the highway commission
doesn't want parks that aren't
near highways.
But Alfred Collier, Klamath
Falls, answered that since the
road user pays for the parks
through gas taxes, the park sys
tem should be for bis benefit
Collier, pointing out that many
of the parks had been donated
to the highway commission, de
clared it would be a "breach of
trust and not quite an honest
deal" to turn them over to an
other commission.
Marshall Dana, Portland, said
the highway commission "is so
preoccupied with building roads
that it has no concept of a' state
park system.
Recreation Commissions
The. committee also heard argu
ments on bills to set up Columbia
Gorge and State Recreation Commissions.
Mrs. Gertrude Jensen, Port
land, said the scenic gorge is be-
n.g destroyed, and mat a com
mission is needed to preserve it
She added that the highway com'
mission isn't interested in saving
the gorge.
The proposal for a Recreation
Commission brought arguments
from proponents that a clearing
and consulting agency at state
level is needed to help along
recreation developments through
out the state.
The proposed state commission
of five members appointed by the
governor, with a paid director,
would determine recreation needs
and standards, then work with
other state agencies, federal and
local services in recreation plan
ning. i ne state commission
wouldnt have any program or
land under ifs own jurisdiction.
Speakers favoring such a com
mission Included State Sen. John
Merrifield (R). Portland; Gus
Moore, Salem YMCA executive;
barn smith, assistant superin
tendent of MacLaren School for
Boys; Miss Dorothea Lensch,
chairman of a governor's com
mittee j on youth; Mrs. Clyde
Gideon,;. Portland, PTA state
president, and Wayne j Hamilton,
Bend city recreation director.
OLYMPIA W. An increase in
teachers' retirement nav cleared
its last legislative hurdle 91 to 0 ini
the House Wednesday and was
sent to the governor. 1
The measure, already passed by
the Senate, would boost from $100
to $120 pensions paid teachers who
retire after 30 years service. It
also provides survivors benefits
for widows of teachers and chil
dren under 18.
Speaking in behalf of the bill.
Rep. Robert D.. Timm, Harring
ton Republican, said the plan is
'a valuable contribution to a val
uable profession." ,. '
He said the retirement plan, if
paid for through a private system
would cost the average teacher 50
per year. ; , ;
Rep. R. Mort Frayne, who fought
Tuesday to postpone action on the
bill until Wednesday, said the re
tirement plan will take 118,000,000
from the general . fund.
Frayn defended the measure.
but said he wanted the lawmakers
to take notice of the size of the
contribution the state was making
to the, teaching profession.
Calling the pension plan a wise
move, trayn said such a retireV
ment system would hold qualified
people in the teaching profession.
Rep. Douglas Kirk: of Seattle, a
teacher himself, asked to' be ex
cused from voting on the measure
as he would be "materially bene
fitted" by its passage.
Under the bill, a teacher with
30 years public school service may
retire with the approval of the
board of trustees of the retire
ment system.
Upon retirement he will receive
an allowance from an annuity
fund he will have paid -into over
a period of years and a pension of
$4 for each month of teaching
service.

superintendent of public instruc
tion, that he wants an investiga
tion. Brown said his second grade
daughter, now attending a. Salem

home an OEA pamphlet telling
, about how the state's schools need
Mre money.
Brown said he doesn't object to
parents becoming informed, but
that he objects to "use of the pub
lic school system as a means of
distribution of propaganda litera
ture of the Oregon Education As
sociation, ' ,
"If the facilities of our public
schools are to "be utilized in this
fashion by the OEA, why should
not the public or private power

Institute, the Grange, the Farm
Bureau and other similar pres
sure groups be accorded the same
opportunities?"

Priest Told to
Leave Russia ,
MOSCOW Ml The Soviet gov
ernment has ordered the only for
eign Raman Catholic priest in Rus
sia to get out of the country by
Saturday. v
He is an American, the Rev.
George Bissonnette of Central
Falls. R. I.
Western observers surmised the
expulsion might be an' act of retal
iation for treatment accorded a
Soviet churchman in the United
States!
The 1 U. S. government already
has protested that the ouster of
Father Bissonnette violates an
agreement in the 1933 Roosevelt
Litvinoff pact grating American
recognition of the Soviet Union.
Father Bissonnette was called
in by the police Wednesday and
told to get out of the Soviet Union
within a few days. No reason was
given. i

If' the United States loses the
cold war, "it will be because we
lost out on international trade,"
Capehart said.

absolute necessity for applying to
our foreign trade the same princi
ples of long-term installment which
has been the basis of our own
domestic economy, he said.
The senator said "we must. .-,
give our foreign nations long-term
credits- on which they can produce
and create jobs and trade."

Officer Calls .
Kaser Case
Endless Circle
The resumed hunt for the slayer
of Ervin Kaser continued into its
second day Wednesday in what one
participating officer described as
an "endless circle in everything
you check you seem to run back
to something you've checked before."
The bunt, which began with the
Feb. 18 rifle slaying of the Sil-
verton hop farmer, was interrupted
Monday by the Marion County
grand jury's refusal to indict Cas
per A. (Cap) Oveross. a Silverton
carpenter whom sheriff's deputies
and state police questioned a few
hours after the slaying.
Still spending their entire work
ing days on the investigation are
Sheriff Denver Young, his Deputy
Amos Shaw and Sgt. Wayne Huff
man and Lloyd Riegel of the Ore
gon State Police.
Not yet received from the state
police crime laboratory are re
ports on certain rifles and other
evidence procured from Oveross'
and the victim's automobiles.
Kaser, 49, was in his when shot
by a gunman who presumably fol
lowed him home from Silverton in
his own car.

Pollution
plaint Due
PORTLAND UP) The State
Air Pollution Authority decided
Wednesday to complain to a
lumbermen's organization ' about
pollution resulting from the burn-.
ing of sawmill waste.
The group authorized Curtis M.
Everts Jr., state sanitary engineer,
to complain to the Associated
Forest Industries about failure of
that organization to take a lead in
solving the problem.
' The group also discussed the
controversy over whether ' an
aluminum plant at Troutdale has
installed successfully a system to
k stop fluorides from being thrown
into the atmosphere.il A cattle
grower ' of that area said
believed the fluorides! still
their best levels of the day. The
Associated Pre.-s average of 60
stocks advanced $1.40 to a new
peak iof $162.00.
Brokers, gleeful over the mar
ket's! rise, attributed, the buying
enthusiasm mostly to the contin
uing flow of good earnings reports
and dividends and the favorable
outlook for industry generally.
Bullishness was not confined to
the stock market. In the over-the-counter
market, U. S. government
bonds were strong.
Volume expanded to 3,370,000
shares from 2,830,000 Tuesday.
