'New York 's Legislators Best Paid Oregon Among Lowest V : By EDMUND D'MOCH' CHICAGO to State legislators get paid for enacting laws; but ome make less at their work each day than the people they pay to enforce the laws. . - , Some other legislators do very well, salary wise. In the main, an Associated Press Italy f romptes Industrial Tie With Arabs; ROME (UP) Italy topes to become the industrial big broth er of under-developed Arab neighbors around fhe southern Mediterranean and the Middle East. Giuseppe Vedovato,1 top gov ernment economist, has comple ted a mission through the Arab countries "and has promised to send at least 100 Italian techni cians to adviwxm a number of projects the Arabs hope to launch. Vedovato visited such Arabian capitals as Damascus, Amman, Baghdad, Beirut, Kuwait, Gedda, Kartoum, Cairo and Tripoli, as well as industrial or commercial centers like Alexandria and Aqaba. He reported friendliness to ward expanded Italian commerce and said the Arabs want Italian technical aid. t Construction Aid No agreements were actually signed, but members of his mis sion who represented ' Italian banking or industrial groups made direct contacts with inter ested persons in the various countries. ) -p Vedovato pointed out that Arab countries are primarily in terested inltdian aid' for con struction of hydro-electric plants, naval installations, mechanical and industrial facilities, rail roads, highways and public build ings. Thus, Italy's big annual crop of university trained specialists may be funneled into work on projects arotujd the Mediter ranean. - Vedovato gave aumerous ex amples of ways in which Italian technicians can help Arabian projects. In Jordan, he foresees the raising of phosphate produc tion from 40,000 to 500,000 tons a year. The Italian economist's plan is to improve the transportation from the mines to the port city of Aqaba by means of a railroad or a, trucking highway, a con struction project which would employ Arab common labor as well as Italian specialists. ' Sicilian Oil He also pointed out that Ital ians could work on a proposed giant dam on Jordan's River Jar muk, and on the irrigation pro gram for the fertile but arid Jor dan Valley. He also mentioned the possibility of Italian mining engineers going to Jordan to de velop the rich potassium and manganese deposits located there. Such development of Arab nat ural resources would benefit Ital ian industry, which in turn would seu DacK to tne Arabs many manufactured projects, Vedovato explained. In Egypt, Vedovato found the government in need of technical assistance in the construction of fertilizer plant, and in the Su dan he foundjieed of Italian help in the building of a rail and, high way network. Libya, formerly an Italian col ony and now a United Nations sponsored free kingdom, has ask ed Italian help in irrigation pro jects and in development of arte sian wells. Italy herself is investing bil lions of lire in self-improvement with her eye on the eventual Med iterranean and Middle Eastern market. The regional government of Sicily has invited British and American oil resources, from which Sicily will derive approxi mately one half of all profits un der the licensing agreement. survey showed Sunday, the job of a member Di the State Legislature in the United States is still one coveted by many and held by rela tively few. It may be low on re muneration, .but setsa high value on prestige and honor of office, i Most of the state lawmakers ap parently would like to raise their salaries, the survey showed. But their efforts are stifled either in committees or on the floors of their houses or senates. If a state con stitution must be amended, this presents another obstacle. - No state pays its legislature the $22,500 a congressman gets a year. Likewise, no legislator puts in the time a congressman does. Some legislatures meet every year, with limited and unlimited lengths of sessions. Most legislatures meet every other year. The sessions vary in length. Best Paid Legislators in New- York State are the best paid. They were raised on Jan. 1 this year from $3,000 to $7,500 a year, plus $2,000 a year expense allowances. .

Living Allowance ' Massachusetts pays its state lawmakers $4,500 in salary and $400 for expenses, plus mileage and a limited daily living allow ance. In Maine, bill is pending to raise legislators from $1,000 to $2,000 for the biennium. Alabama lawmakers raised their pay this year from $20 to $30 a day for the 60-day regular session. In the Kansas Legislature a bill was introduced to raise its $5 a day salary to $10 and their $7 ex pense allowance to $20 a day, but the bill died without discussion. A constitutional amendment is pending . in Connecticut to raise legislators' pay to $1,200 for the biennium. They now get $600 for the two years, plus mileage.

Dummy Tries Suicide Under Auto Wheels BOULDER. Colo, to - Sheriffs officers had the "mystery man" of Boulder Canyon in custody Mon day, but shaken motorists were stdl trying to calm their nerves. The 5-foot figure, a stuffed dum my attired in a bright-colored cos tume, was seized by authonties after a series of harrowing inci dents. Sheriff Art Everson said he got a flood of complaints from motor ists Saturday night that someone was leaning in front of cars on the canyon road in the mountains about two miles west ot tne city The drivers said they slammed on their brakes, all the while pray ing they would avoid hitting the "man" When the motorists backed up the road a piece, however, they found the victim had disappeared., Everson and his deputies lo - cated the 'dummy, strung up on an ingenious network of wires and pulleys. The dummy was rigged so that it could be swung down on the road when the lights of approaching cars were sighted. It took IVi hours to unnoox we wires and pulleys. ! Everson said he believed the ! dummy was rigged up by Colorado ' University students. The univer-; aity is located here. " -'. Neuberger C7 Aims Blast at Wiretapping OMAHA? Neb. (UP)-Sen. Rich ard L.
