Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore 1 2 Sat., May 21, 1335 B S """ !' & o AIAAipuaL " DiiiWlSet Southwestewi Oregon chapV ofeth American Institute of Ar chitects will hold . its annual waftsmanship dinner Thursday, May .26, at Pioneer Park (Lam County Fairgrounds). As in previous years, the chap ter will honor two building crafts men at this affair. One will bi acclaimed as the craftsman of this area to have done the most creditable exposed construction work this past year; the other for doing the best hidden crafts manship. Their awards will be presented by Ralph C. Beards worth, president of the A. I. A, chapter. Starting with a cocktail hour at 6:30 p.m., the banquet also will provide for discussion of mutual problems between architects, con tractors, material suppliers and other principals in the construc tion industry of this area. The guest speaker will be Dr. Clarence Hines, superintendent of Eugene public schools, who will outline the building program for School District No. 4. Serving as chairman of the craftsmanship dinner committee for the A.I.A. chapter is B. King Martin, partner in the firm of Hamlin and Martin. Green Lumber Prices Settle Prices in the green fir lumber market continued to drop slowly through the past week, apparent ly headed for a $70-$72 range, about where they were before April's flurry of weather-incited Inflation but still well above the level prevailing at this time last year. Market observers reported that although many mills this week are still operating on a hand-to-, mouth basis because of log short ages, buyers weren't bidding too energetically for green lumber. Many sales were mado at $72-$74 per thousand board feet, but some mills were willingly accepting $71-$72 as better than what next week might bring. There was, this past week, more strength in the firm order market for green fir than in the random length sales field. For specified items, some mills were getting $76-$79 although the bigger "mixed car" green mills noted a $3 drop in the price on No. 2 and better dimension and that even at $75 the demand seemed none too brisk. In the transit car market, good cars were selling at $72-$73, but indications were that these prices also would soften. The premium item in transits continued to be 2 x 10 which brought $74-$75 for best loadings. For the big mills producing both kiln-dried and green lumber, activity this last week continued steady after a moderate burst which accompanied the April boom for green mills. While these big mills also re ported a weakening of demand for No. 3 green dimensions, No. 3 kiln-dried dimensions were in good demand. Both No. and bet ter and No. 4 items were reported moving satisfactorily whether green or kiln-dried, and the mar ket prospects for the big mills were bolstered by maintenance of order files at the equivalent of 30 to 45 days shipping time. e o i ' ' 9 -. -V - hxsi- , rvtmwwHhJJ: -' - , .,, , ' m 1 1 Legislative o ;Proc$lHit BLONWE Uii'Hf have a . ... . . ;'"'' , (Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire eng.)

Salchenberg will not be going to tile session from Lane County as had been stated in a previous report from the sociely's headquarters. ATTENDING THE semi-annual meeting of the Oregon Consumer Finance Assn. at Gearharl. last weekend were several local fin ance firm representatives and their wives.

Bank Debits Gain in State Some 18 banks in the upper Willamette valley area, including Eugene, have reported a 14.6 per cent increase in debits for April over the same month a year ago and a 2.6 per cent increase over debits of March, 1955, according to the Bureau of Business Re search in the University of Ore gon. A total of $137,101,138 in bank debits was reported from the banks in the Eugene area, which includes Albany and Corvallis. Representing the dollar value of checks drawn against the de posit accounts of individuals and business firms, bank debits arc regarded as flood indicators of current business activity. How ever, their value may be impair ed by the inclusion of large checks arising out of transfers of funds or purchase of assets that do not constitute "business activity. Over the whole state, a 7.8 per cent increase in debits during April over the year before was recorded by 120 reporting banks. The $1,375,157,300 figure was -1.9 per cent less than in March. Thirty-three banks in the Port land area had 6 per cent more debits in April than a year ago, but reported 5.6 per cent less than the month before. Five banks in the central Ore gon area, including Bend, Princ- villc, and Redmond, reported the most notable gain in debits over the past year with a 31.3 per cent increase. This was 2.5 per cent higher than in March. Fifteen banks in the lower Wil lamette valley, including Salem and . McMinnvillo, reported the largest gain of April figures over the month before with a 13.6 in crease over March. This was 6.4 per cent more than April of last year.

Nebry sad ihis weefc thSt Oregon's "creaking legivla- tive and executive machinery" deprives the "people their full right to refer bills passed by the Legislature. j Whije there is a 90-day.period after legislative adjournment for distribution of referendum peti tions, these petitions can't actual ly be circulated until the gov ernor signs a bill on which referendum is being sought. The governor has 23 or 24 days after a legislative session to act on bills. Then, Newbry pointed out, the attorney general has another 10 days to prepare the ballot title that must be on the petitions. Thus, sponsors of a referendum might have less than 60 days to get the 20,047 names that are needed to put a bill on the ballot. Newbry had in mind the 3-cent cigarette tax bill which the tob acco industry wants to refer. This bill hasn't reached the governor's desk yet, since it hasn't been signed by the presi dent of the Senate and speaker of the House. 'The procedure is all wrong,' Newbry said. "Under the Oregon Constitution, any citizen or group of citizens is entitled to a full 90 days following adjournment of the Legislature, in which to se cure a referendum petition against an unpopular enactment. Seed Agency Petition Filed SALEM IU Creeping red fes cue and chewings fescue seed growers have filed the first peti tion asking for establishment of a commodity commission under the 1953 enabling act, State Di rector of Agriculture J. F. Short said this week. The petition was presented by Raymond Wcndcl of La Grande, secretary-treasurer of the Pacifje Northwest Chewings and Creep ing Red Fescue Assn. It bears the signatures of 73 growers rep resenting 5,334 acres of these two grass seeds. Singers are chiefly irom the Willamette valley and Union county. Short held a meeting with an advisory group named to help the Dept. of Agriculture deter mine the budget necessary to complete the proceedings to de tcrmine whether or not a com mission shall be established. The budget group was picked by Wel- by vaughan of La Grande, presi dent of the Northwest group which circulated the petition. The budget for hearings and referendum was set at $050. As soon as growers submit an ad ditional $400 to the $250 filing fee which accompanied the petition Short said the department will meet its responsibility without de lay. Public notice will be given of hearings to be held in Clackamas Linn. Marion and Union counties If the department determines as a result of the hearings that there is need for the commission. a statewide referendum will be held and all growers of the two grass seeds will be eligible to vote.

Neuberger Knocks Ellsworth For Stand on Statehood Bill WASHINGTON W Refusal logon might still be Indian ter- grant statehood to Alaska ana Hawain "makes a mockery o the way we preach to other nations advising them to practice democ racy," Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore) said Thursday night. In a speech to International Students House, the Oregon sen ator declared: "We can talk unctuously about self-rule and local sovereignty but we will be judged by the world according to what we do. We have told Alaska and Hawaii that they can't govern themselves and the world will remember that." CANADIAN POLICY He said that under Canadian standards Alaska probably wouM be admitted as a full self-govern ing province without too much trouble. Prince Edward Island, with barely half Alaska's popula tion, is a province. Neuberger also noted that Can ada gives a full voting member of its national Parliament to the Yukon Territory's 10,000 resi dents while the United States restricts Alaska's 17,000 popula tion to one non-voting delegate who "sits as a mere spectator when roll-calls are taken in Congress." By this procedure, he said, "we thus have let Canada put us to shame in the actual practice of freedom and self government." Neuberger also said he felt "ashamed" of one of Oregon's congressmen Rep. Ellsworth (R- Ore) voted in the House recently to send the combined Alaska Hawaii statehood bill back to com mittee. SERIES OF SPEECHES Asserting that Oregon at the time of its admission had less than one-third Alaska's present population and was separated from Minnesota then the next state eastward as far as is Alaska from Puget Sound, he declared: "It's a good thing for Oregon there weren't many 'Ellsworths' in the Congress in 1858 or Ore- The Best in Radio Repair OPTIMUM RADIO SERVICE 565 RIVER BOAB PHONB 3-2411 Radio Television s Repair Pickup & OellTery HICKEY -FREEMAN CLOTHES McDonald Theater Bldg. QUICK SERVICE! TV . . . Radio . . . Appliances Freo Hcbup Delivery Mfi.lt Selt HARDWARE I'lOCA Service FURNITURE ritory." Neuberger said he plans a ser ies of speeches in Oregon after Congress adjourns on the effect of the defeat of Alaska statehood upon the future of the Pacific Northwest. He said the opposition to state hood "is bound up in ancient prejudices." RACIAL MISTRUST It stems from mistrust by opponents of statehood of such racial groups as Indians, Eskimos and Japanese. It stems from the fears of the canned salmon and gold mining industry that they may have to shoulder a fair load of taxes for schools and social welfare. It stems from the so called 'political superiority' of congressmen from big Eastern states who never wanted two sen ators from Oregon or Wyoming and now don't want two Senators given to Hawaii or Alaska." The net result of this opposi tion, the Senator said, is to make "hypocrisy" of. this country's urg ings to the world about democ racy and self-government. PEOPLE DO READ SPOT ADS You Arc!
