Does Oregon want to stage a
regional trade fair as a ' feature
of its' centennial of statehood in
. 19397 '
That question is presented to the
Legislative -Assembly by the re
port of the Centennial Commission
appointed by Governor Patterson
in response to the (directive of the
Legislature in 195. The Commis
sion engaged Stanford Research
Bureau tq make a survey and the
Commission's recommendation of a
regional trade fair has grown out
of the Institute's survey report.
When the fair idea was first
launched it was thought that a
tie-in could be made with the con-'
templated Sports pavilion, exposi
tion hall for which Portland voters
approved $8,000,060 in bonds. That
project has been" beset with so
'- many delays that it is very doubt-
ful if it would be completed in
time for a 1959 exposition. The
commission thereupon turned to
the plant of Pacific International
. Livestock Show in North Portland.
This would need to be completely
rebuilt, but the commission feels
that would be Ahe cheapest way
of providing an exhibit hall also
the improvements would enable
the PI to rontinue'to operate at
its old location.
To get the program started the
commission is asking for an ap
propriation of a million dollars.
If the venture makes some profit
the profit would, go to reimburse
- the state for .its advance.
What is envisioned is not a
World's Fair in the old meaning

were "locked out." He said mem
bers had been instructed to come
to work Friday even though the
year's contract expired Thursday
The management chief was notified
jf. this fact by wire Thursday
morning, he pointed out.
A higher estimate of the number
idle was offered by Vern Collins,
president of the Willamette Valley
Plumbing and Heating Contractors
Association, who thought approxi
mately 125 to 130 men were "on
strike." Collins said contractors
had agreed Tuesday to shut down
when union negotiators after 30
days of bargaining had threat
ened r "No contract no work."
Almost all plumbing firms in Sa

generally open, but no employes

Some owners did jobs themselves.
A number of major building

by the stoppage.
Collins said the union has de

plus some fringe benefits. Journey

ed a flexible franchise, municipal
officials have generally agreed to
the plan, which was proposed by
the - financially - harrassed mass
transportation firm. v
CTL previously indicated It
would have to fold up both here
and ft Eugene on March 1st be
cause of deficits, unless soma solu
tion wis reached.
The firm proposed the flexible
franchise as a means of making a
reasonable return On its invest
ment. The looser franchise would
give the company control of much
of its operation.
Under the new plan, the com
pany would pay a token franchise
fee of only SI a year per bus
compared to the previous $50. No
plans for changes in fares or
schedules have yet been announced
by CTL, That will await action on
the franchise. - ' .. '
Carl Wen'dt, general manager of
LTL, said that while neither Eu-
gene or Salem has yet formally
granted the new franchise, offi
cials' attitudes seem .to assure' it.
But Wendt warned that while the
bus crisis seems allayed for the
present, it could become a crisis
again - because of increasing lack
of patronage.
"Our business fell off "sharply in

Oregon's PUC Chief
Heard During Senate
Labor Racket Probe
By WILMOT HERCHER -
WASl.IINGTOX, . Marlh 1 (AP) - An Oregon
state official testified today he had been told that
Teamsters Union officials were willing to pay $10,000
to have one of their men on the Oregon Liquor Com
mission. Appearing voluntarily before a special Senate
investigating committe llow-t '
ard Morgan, Oregon public
utility" cornmissioncr, said the
information came to him last
September from Manton Spear,
a Portland beer, distributor.
He testified that Spear's sugges
tion was "profanely rejected by
Oregon! Gov. Robert Holmes
"who at the time was the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nominee.
Morgan also accused the Team
sters Lnicn of trying "to take over
law enforcement in the state of
Oregon from the Multnomah
County level right up to the gov
ernor s office.
'Money'Not Mentioned' '
Spear, followed Morgan- to the
witness phair and swore he sum
of $10,000 was never mentioned.
Tnder close questioning! Jiow-
ever, he said he did discuss with
Morgan the idea of financial sup
port for Holmes if jh Teamsters
could have an "acceptable" man
placed on the liquor commission
The Senate committee is mak
ing a nationwide investigation of
alleged racketeering in labor and
industry. The opening phase of its
inquiry has been concentrated on
the activities of tTig-Tcamjilm V"
ion iiTTortland, the Multnomah
County seat, and Seattle and Spo
kane, Wash.
Shortly befdt-e Morgan and
Spear ' testified, charges of per
jury were leveled at unspecified
witnesses who have testified dur
ing the first four days of the
probe.
Scm Mc-Helian 'fD-Ark; com
mittee chairman, ordered the full
transcript of testimony sent to the
Justice Department, there govern
ment attorneys will determine
whether prosecutions are war
ranted. .
Perjury Claimed
"'"There is a good deal of per
jury," Robert F. Kennedy, com
mittee counsel,- commented near
the close" of today's hearing.
Morgan, former Democratic
state chairman in Oregon, swore
that Spear told him the Teamsters
wanted a union official- to be ap
pointed by Holmes because they
hoped this . would enable them to
"block liquor purchases (or the
Oregon state liquor monopoly
from Eastern, distilleries with
which the Teamsters were having
bargaining difficulties.
Spear, who said he was asso
ciated in the beer business with
Dave Beck Jr.,. son of the presi
dent ; of the l'l-rriillion-member
Teamsters Union, taw it different
ly.' . . , ,
Many Advantages
He said that to "control" the
commission would have many ad
vantages necause inc con.mir-
sioner would be in a position to
buy merchandise advantagcous -
'y-
Spear-first denied that he had
engaged- in anything more than
a "hypothetical" discussion of:
having a Teamsters man on the
commission. .
Kennedy said later testimony j
will show that the Teamsters first '
started to back Holmes (or g()V.'TheWh4le House, announced to
