Ultimatums flow thick and fast. "We'll allow 'em," one member shout ed. Another cried "We'll bold this leg islation up till doomsday unless tbey get our pension hills nto the floor. Then we'll smash them through." The reason given by Itepresenta tlve .lames Kckersley, Clackamas, for starting the opposition to further passage of bills was that "the gover nor Rent Harry Boivin a message to get the appropriation bills through as soon aa possible and the move for ad- j Journment. That would kill our bills ; automatically." j Eckersley said that "if the ways ! and means committee won't play ball! with us I am going to take to the i floor." The senate passed two bills, ap-1 preprinting funds for the university of Oregon medical school, one of the measures authorizing the board of higher education to extend to all countiea of the atate the benefits of the child guidance clinic, and the other measure providing aditional funds for - maintenance of Doernbecber hospital for children. The senate, without record vote, defeated the move to Increase the maximum truck load limits frum 5J, 000 to 08,000 pounds. The measure would have Increased the length of trucks on the state's highways. Op position to the bill was strong from the highway department. During the pant week the senate passed the anti-discriminatory trade bill, patterned after the Itobinson Patinan federal act of 1035, but the measure was meeting with difficulties In the house. A public hearing on the proposal laat night indicated a hard fight would be made in the other branch of tho legislature to defeat the proposal.

(Spe cial) Formulation of fire legislation or regulation that will lead to correc tive burning in grazing and agricul tural areas, and classification of In nils ao that they may he put to the most efficient uae, are recommended os means of solving pressing problems of Isnd use in Curry county, in a report, "Investigation of Iand Use In Curry County," completed by the Oregon state planning board. The report was prepared at the re quest of the 108.1 legislature. Compila tion of data and Information in the re port was tinder the direction of W. A. Srheonfrld, chairman of tho Curry county land use committee appointed by the board. Other members of this rommlttee were C, J. Buck, board member, snd Sinclair A. Wilson and John B. Yeon. Amendment of existing atate laws authorising the creation of districts within counties, such ns rural fire pro tection, irrigation, diking, weed con trol and others, would provide the legal instrumentality necessary to put a land use program into effect, compil ers of the report euggested. A vital need at present Is an edu cational program that will result In a common understanding between fire officials snd fsrmers as to what con stitutes a deslreahle burning practice, tie report points out. Testimony of fered at public bearings held at (.old Reach, and in other data included in the report, bears out this statement, writers said.. rssential featurea of a corrective burning program, held to he of utmost importance, wero listed aa; Participation of local officials in granting of permits. the vicinity of towns and special scenic ureas. "Any changes In fire legislation de signed to accomplish a more rapid de velopment in agricultural areas should not be so sweeping that timber or rec reation interests will be Injured," the report soya. "Proposed changes In leg islation should be pointed toward full development of all land resources on a fair and equal basis." An orderly development of potential grating land should materially increase the agricultural income of Curry county and widen and itpprove the tax baae, tho report declares. Statistics included show that of privately owned land in Curry county, 42 per cent ap pears to he better suited to grating nnd agriculture than tn forestry. At the present time only Is per cent of privately nvyied land I used aa non- forest lsnd. Study of dsta and testimony pre sented shows that recurrent fires dur ing tho past ,10 years have resulted in Increasing rather than decreasing brush and weed growth on range land. Repeated burning of the lsnd cover sppears undesirable from both for estry and grazing viewpoints, writers of the report conclude. T.and classification such as Is sug gested in the report should be followed by private and public agencies aa a guide to further agricultural settle ment and development, to indicate areaa in which county-owned lands should not he soli) for agricultural use, and aa a basis for development of pub lic facilities such as schools, rosds and power lines, it was stated The report contains a land use study of the county, written by James C Moore, land planning consultant for the Resettlement Administration, Burning tn be supervised hy paid, which is an intensive survey of the wsrdens and necessary precautions taken to confine the burning to own er's land or to land under bis control. Uniform fire patrol tax for all land subject to corrective burning. Program of education to be enr rled out prior to burning sesson so that most effective burning practices can be put into operation. Individual liability for fire damage to otbera to be limited to amounts recovered by civil suit. Continuing research program do. signed to discover more effective meth ods of brush and dehrla removal than county s resources, schools, rosds and other featurea. Minutes of the pub lie hearings held in Cold Beach, state ments by experts on various phsses of the county, and forest snd other sta tistics are Included in the exhibit sec tion of the report. The report has been submitted to (iovernor Martin and members of the legislature. The North Polar region is an ocean surrounded hy continents, while the South Polar region is s continent sur rounded hy an ocean.
