Newspaper Page TextRegister-Guard, Eugene, Ore. IN ONE EAR... - By JIM WELCH Thur., Jan. 13, 1955 3A Spam Seeks UP IN SALEM, wags are call ing Gov. Paul Patterson's program for getting an extra 65 million dollars in taxes "The Great Take-Away." OUTSIDE the House chamber Monday a PA speaker had been let for those who either couldn't squeeze into the chamber or couldn't stand the heat during the governor's address to the legislature. During Patterson's comments on taxation there were five men in a clump around the Jlox, taking in every word and tying not to wince when proper ty and corporation taxes were mentioned. Four of these men were impeccably dressed, and represented four of the biggest industries in the state. The fifth was a little man with a stubble of beard, wrinkled clothes, and bicycle clips around both pants cuffs. PLANNING HELPS, and the many extra thousands of people in Salem Monday for the opening of the legislature were able to find parking within two or three blocks of the capitol. There were no traffic jams, and few overtime parking tickets, because most of the spaces near the capitol are not metered or limited in time. Salem has another fine feature, for those who do park in the meter zone. Up and down the streets are locked boxes with slots. You drop your ticket and ftae" four bits in and drive off. (The fine is 50 cents if paid with in 24 hours, and $1- later.) The ticket box is a handy thing, but the thought of a journey to city hall may keep some motorists from overparking. Eugene, with more cars and fewer parking spaces, has to keep vehicles mov ing. THOSE WHO get around the state a lot say that friction among law enforcement agencies is com' mon and that the bickering re vealed by the Lane County brib ery trial was a mild case. It certainly was compared to what has happened in the past in Coos County, and what appears to be on the way there now. Sheriff Charles Strawn took office only two weeks ago, and already he has blood pressures up. Hours after he put on his badge he made a formal state ment saying that "Police work from the office of the district ttorney will be discontinued and such work returned to a local level, as provided by law. County owned vehicles operated out of the district attorney's office will be returned to the county or sheriff's office where they right fully belong." Obviously, the Wild West be gins somewhere west of Eugene. iil UNDER A BLANKET OF FOG While much of the country is blanketed with snow, San Francisco (somewhere in the background) is completely hidden under billowing clouds of fog rolling in from the Pacific Ocean. Only the tops of the Golden Gate Bridge towers can be seen peeking through. (NEA) Ike Asks Draft Extension THE MAN who signed himself "Anonymous Al" should be happy. Eugene Water and Electric Board reported this week that their crews are now stripping the wires off those pesky poles dead-center in the alley by the Bon Marche. The poles themselves may be gone shortly. (Continued from Page One) of military service personnel on a selective basis. 2. A selective increase In haz ardous duty pay for airmen and submarine crews and for men en gaged in parachute duty, demoli tion work, deep sea diving and certain other specialities. He did not say how much of a raise he wished. The President also called for these additional benefits for servicemen: I. A "dislocation" allowance for military personnel with de pendents who are ordered to a new permanent duty station. 2. An increase in the daily al lowance for temporary duty trav el from $9 to $12. 3. More housing for service families in areas where present facilities are insufficient, and au thority for reduced rentals where men and their families must live temporarily in substandard housing. 4. Removal of "existing inequi ties" and provision for better medical care for military fami lies. o. equalization of survivor benefits according to rank for active and retired personnel. DOCTOR DRAFT In addition to requesting a four-year extension of the gen eral draft law, Eisenhower asked Congress for a two-year extension of special provisions authorizing the drafting of physicians and dentists. Those provisions now are scheduled to expire July 1. Untuning his plan for bringing young men into the reserve forces after six months of train ing, the President said: 'At present, the reserves are composed of older men who have completed their terms of active service. For example, less than 17 per cent of the men now in Rt. F Tunnel the Army reserves are under 24 years of age." Eisenhower added that during the six months of training under the proposed program, those en gaging in it would be paid $30 a month, as compared with $78 plus basic allowances now re ceived by beginning privates in the regular services. ESTABLISH QUOTAS He said the number of men who would be accepted in this basic type of training should be subject to quotas fixed by the President "to avoid bringing the manpower pool down to an un desirably low level." The draft extension and the plan to build up a ready reserve of civilians would require some form of active duty or military training for virtually all able bodied young men. Before reaching 19, or in some cases before the 20th birthday, a youth would have a variety of choices: 1. He could volunteer for the service of his choice, serving three years as a regular in the Army or Marine Corps, or four years in the Navy or the Air Force. His total military obliga tion including reserve service would be eight years. 2. He could volunteer to take six months of intensive military training and thereafter remain active in the National Guard or reserve for an additional 9V4 years. He still could be drafted if he failed to maintain his stand ing in the Guard or reserves. Plans call for training 100,000 men a year under this program. ENTER DIRECTLY 3. He could, before reaching 19. enter the reserves direct un der a commitment to go on full active duty, when called, for at least 24 months in the Navy or four years in the Air Force. D J f I n' 4.

F will be the ef fect it has on timber values in the region the road will serve. Rt. F will open up vast sections of 04tC and Forest Service tim ber in the Siuslaw drainage area. It has been estimated, the com missioners said, that the road will increase the value of O&C stump age in the area up to $10 a thou sand, or a total increase of 15 million. Tied in with the Rt. F project is the proposed improvement of the port at Florence. A special committee of the Eugene and Springfield Chambers of Com merce and the county commission ers arc gathering data for a cam paign designed to bring federal aid for improvement of the Sius law River port The two chambers are on rec ord as favoring a deeper channel at the mouth of the Siuslaw to encourage ocean shipping opera tions at Florence. Rt. F is considered a vital link in any project to improve harbor facilities for it would shorten the shipping distance, of mill prod ucts from the Eugene-Springfield area to salt water. When Rt. F is completed, a motorist could take this route from Eugene to Florence: From Eugene to Vcneta to Noti, through Walton to Richardson, up to and through the tunnel and down to Mapleton, and on to Florence. The road is now oiled from Eu gene to Noti. From Noti to Maple- ton about 30 miles is graveled. It may be several years before the entire route from Eugene to Mapleton is paved and much of the oiled portion west of Eugene will eventually need rebuilding. U.N. Position West Expected To Approve Bid UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. WV- Spain, barred from the United Nations by a General Assembly decision in 1946, is considering establishing a permanent observ er at U.N. headquarters, diplo matic sources reported Thursday. The sources, who refused to let their names be used, also said .that the chief delegates of the United States, Britain and France have informed Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold they would favor such action by Gen eralissimo Franco's government REDS OPPOSED The same sources also said that a majority of the U.N. would favor such a move but the five nation Soviet bloc was certain to oppose it. These diplomats pointed out that the decision on accepting the 'credentials of the permanent observer to the U.N. rests with Hammarskjold but that he possi bly would be guided by sugges tions from various member gov ernments. No veto is Involved. A veto can be cast only in the Security Council to bar an applicant for U.N. membership. REGIME CONDEMNED The Franco regime was con demned by the first General As sembly for having assisted the Nazis during World War II. In a" later action the Assem bly called on U.N. members hav ing missions in Spain to with draw the chiefs of mission. Some did so, but this later was res cinded. Since then Spain has been accented into some U.N specialized agencies but the bar has remained on membership in the U.N. itself.
