' " A proposal to allow variances School Board Considers Plan To Sell West Salem Property By VINITA HOWARD Staff Writer, The Statesman Salem School Board Tuesday nisht discussed the possibility of selling the West" Salem Junior High School site acquired some years ago, but delayed action on the matter until further study had been made. The site, located on 8th street between Gerth and Patterson, was acquired at a cost of $32,850 but the board now has about $60,000 in its development Supt. Walter Snyder told board Accuracy of State Worker Surv The Barrington survey of state salaries and classifications was declared "unacceptable" Tuesday by the Oregon State Employes Association. The group SDoke through its legislative committee. The committee, chairmanned by Don Parker, said it agreed in principle with the Bjrrington re port in its recognition of the need for matching jobs with re sponsibilities equally in all state departments, raising minimum wage levels and raising pay ceil ings, broadening pay schedule range for each classification, and a need for salaries based on equality and justice with empha sis on career" service in state employment. "However," said the committee report, "we cannot give a blan ket endorsement of the proposed changes recommended " by Bar ringtonif . ! Question Accuracy "We believe the contract with Barrington Associates was made by the legislative interim com mittee in goodN faith, but-we question " the " completeness ' and accuracy of the survey. We feel that the Legislature is mindful of the salary prol lems and desires to be fair with the state's employes ... but that it does not have time to acquaint "Itself fully with the details and must rely on the executive branch of the government for such data and for administration." "The Barrington recommenda tion," said Virgil O'Neal OSEA president, "not to make any pay reductions for a year merely means that the state" will be en eouraging its career-minded and best employees to take better jobs elsewhere. "Too many well-trained, and efficient state employes have been leaving the poorly-pauI state service for years. This costs the public a lot of money and we will not stay silent and see this condition made worse by further cuts in pay." ' O'Neil recommended thaj the "worthwhile" parts of the Bar rington survey be salvaged, that a "fair salary schedule on a pay- "equal work basis be made at once." and that the Legislature consider appropriating "sufficient funds" to get the job underway. O'Neil said OSEA was "abso lutely opposed," to the Legisla ture's holding the Barrington re port over for two more years of study. Members of the OSEA legisla tive committee meeting Tuesday with Parker and O'Neil were Lin coln Pfeiffer. Gordon Shattuck, - E. A.

Teachers Heard The board Tuesday night also heard a delegation of 14 teachers from the Salem Classroom Teach ers Association. The Association praised the salary schedule drawn up by the Board for next year, but took exception to basing pay on 190 days rather than the usual 185 school days.

Jobs Scarce For Workers Past 40 Years DETROIT VPi Detroit's older workers, growing in number since the end of the Korean War. are finding that retirement often is both early and involuntary. Thou sands of Detroiters are learning, in particular, that jobs for jacks-of-all-trades are fast vanishing and that the finding of a new job is becoming more difficult for the man over 40, be he laborer or executive type. Officials of Detroit's Fortv Plus Club, whose membership is re stricted to fofmer executives who earned morel than $5,000 a year, say they haven't placed a mem ber m a year. j 'When older workers find them selves Competing I with younzer men for the same job, the younger man invariably wins out, provid ing both have the I same qualifica tions," says O.

"It has always been true that the older worker starts his iob- hunting with two strikes on him." rjetiana says.

(JP) State geologists are following closely developments at two Upper Pen insula copper mines which may result in better days for the lagging Michigan copper indus try. When it reaches peak produc tion next year, the White Pine mine, in Ontonagan County, is expected to produce 75 million pounds a year compared to 48 million pounds produced by Michigan mines currently in oper ation. The Osceola, another mine, near Calumet, abandoned in 1931, is being cleared of some seven billion gallons of water which have flooded the shafts. Engineers expect to extract some 14 million pounds of copper a year. But Geologists of the State Conservation Department feel the White Pine operation is the more promising. "It is the first attempt in Michigan to exploit copper sulphide commercialy," says H. H. Hardenberg, conservation de partment mining geologist "Most of the world's supply comes from copper sulphide," he says, "but Michigan's industry until now has been restricted to the mining of native copper."

Hibernators9 Hearts Yield Information MADISON. Wis. (U.FJ Two University of Wisconsin scientists have looked into some of the mys tery of how hibernating animals stay alive when their body tern- perature drops near freezing. Scientists have wondered for some time why ihe hearts of hiber nators do not stop when the ani mals get real cold. The hearts of other animals stop long before reaching the temperatures at which hibernators spend the winter. Profs. Peter R. Morrison and A. R. Dawe have learned in labora tory tests that hibernating animals have super-sensitive hearts. The slightest stimulus will cause them to beat furiously at near-normal temperatures. In deep hibernation the heart rate slows to as few as 2.2 beats per minute, they said. The scientists- said their study conceivably could lead to practical application in human "deep freeze" heart surgery, if they could learn what causes the super-sensitive hearts.
