Gene Brown (R), Grants Pass, who heads the subcommit tee on higher education. He said some cuts would be made in high er education budgets and a 10 per cent student fee increase will be recommended, but he didn't want to be on the spot for a 10 per cent budget reduction when other budgets weren't being re duced. The ways and means commit tee otherwise approved for pas sage the bills adding two circuit judges on Multnomah County and one each in Lane and Douglas. The Lincoln County judgeship has been rejected The committee sidestepped the bills that wrulf' boost circuit and supreme court judges' pay by $1, 000 a year.

B. Stephenson, president of First National, a statewide bank chain, said, "We're open six days a .week because of our responsibil ity to the public. It's in our best interests to serve the public so they can get hanking service on Saturdays just as they get service from stores or filling stations." Stephenson said his employes are On a five-day work week anyway, and if Saturday closing was man datory he'd have "to fire 150 em ployes and save hundreds of thou sands1 of dollars a year." . Virgil Solso, president of an Oswego bank, said : small banks lose many good employes to firms that have a five-day week. Spe&king for bank employes. Richard McClintic, Portland, said without Saturday closing legisla tion many bank employes would be tempted to form unions and de mand a five-day work week. State law now permits banks to close on Saturdays, but few do. The House committee did not de cide whether to submit the legislation.

The action, if the Senate doesn't change its mind, would end the commission, which runs a museum in honor of the famous battleship which made the dramatic dash around The Horn during the Spanish-American War. The vote was on a $7,500 appro priation to let the commission op erate for the next two years. " The commission has a museum in a house in Portland, where it displays relics of the old ship. The ship's mast is in a park' on the Willamette River in Portland. , But the 'old ship herself, now a rusting hulk, lies in a harbor at uuam. i During World War II, the State of Oregon gave her up to the United States government to be sold for scrap to aid the war ef fort But, instead, she was used as a barge to haul supplies to troops in the Pacific. Opponents of the appropriation argued that the relics could .be transferred to another museum. Sen. Warren McMinimee (R), Tillamook, said the commission promised as far back: as 1943 that it wouldn't ask for more state funds. Sen.

Bill to Permit Disqualification Of Judges Gains The Senate passed and sent to the House Tuesday a bill' to let attorneys disqualify circuit judges from hearing cases. The bill would allow the attorneys to file affi davits of prejudice, and make them show cause why a new judge should be named. The bill is designed to replace the law which allowed lawyers to get new judges merely by filing motions.
