Page 2A EUGENE KEG1STER GUARD, Sunday, July 1, 186J Log Truckers Discuss Law By BOB NEWCOMB , the law hut you have lo use dis Of lh Retliler-Guard jcretion, too." Oregon's Public Utility Com- i 'i have no reason lo defend missioner Jonel Hill came in for alternating criticism and sup port Friday night at a meeting of the Lane County Log Truck ers Assn., in Eugene. Thirty persons truckers, log gers, several state legislative candidal''! and State Rep. F. F. Montgomery, It-Eugene, dis cussed Hill's interpretation of a new slate law regulating the number of licensed log truckers. Eugene attorney Kenneth Poole, representing the associa tion, expressed that group's of (icial attitude. Not Enough Jobs "When the state says the high ways are your workshop," he told the truckers, "then the state has the right lo enforce it." Hill, ha asserted has gone beyond the letter of the law by issuing temporary permits to most log truckers, whether or not they qualify for such per mits under the wording of the law. "But there are not enough Jobs to use all of those trucks economically," he declared. Montgomery defended Hill "Please try to recognize," he said, "that the administrator cannot promiscuously deny per mits. You have to administer Justice Dept. Sidestepping Oregon Post By. A. ROBERT SMITH Rrflster-Guird Corretponrtrnl WASHINGTON (Special) Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy is silting on several recommendations from Capilol Hill about appointment of a new U.S. marshall for Oregon and there appears no reason for the Incumbent marshall, Paul Kear ney, to start cleaning out his desk. Since the Democratic admin istration took charge, early last year, ono complication after an other has fouled Die customary practice of replacing the mar shal! appointed by the previ ous (Republican) administra tion. Although Oregon's leading Democrats have chafed over patronage, they did agree on several marshal! candidates dur ing that period. Rut each was washed out for personal rea sons, the latest one due to a heart condition. Sen. Maurine Neuberger has incc recommended Burdctte Emory, a federal probation of ficer at Portland. - Rep. Edith Green has recom mended James F. Haggcrty, a field supervisor for Drew En gineering Co., Portland, and a member of the Sheet Metal Workers Union and delegate to the Central Labor Council. Since the two lady lawmakers have not joined in a single recommendation, they have in effect put the administration in the dilemma of choosing one and rejecting the other. There is no sign that the attorney gen eral intends to rise to this un wanted challenge. Sen. Neuberger wrote lo Ken nedy recently Inquiring about the reason for the delay In sending a nomination to the Senate for confirmation. The attorney general replied with out answering the question.

HIRONS DRUG STORE 183 East 18th Art. 4 'a tn Hill, Montgomery sain, "bui remember it was the log truck ers who asked for this law." The law, passed by the last session of the State Legislature, look effect April 1 this year. It slates, according to Poole, that truckers who did not haul logs anytime during the period from Feb. 1, IflBl to Feb. 1, 1962 would have their permits can celled as of April 1, with U'm porary permits granted after that time only for certain specif ic reasons proof of financial ability, necessity and public con venience or in emergency situ ations. Hill has interpreted the law, said Poole, as giving him the right lo grant permits "if a man proves he has a job available for his truck. But he has I chosen not lo ask the permit ap-: luicani wneiner umcr irucKers already operating in an area are capable of handling that job, he said. Not Opposed "My recommendation lo you," declared Montgomery, "is In get Mr. Hill In come down here and answer that." you. He says 'no' to Montgomery said he is not op-1 posed to the principles sought by the truckers "hut J r. T posed lo Ihe idea of restricting a man from operating a private business. I was opposed to the hill In 19S9." At that time, he said, he did not hear from any truck owners favoring the bill. In putting the law into opera tion, Montgomery said, Hill made it a policy to issue tem porary permits to many loggers whose permits were cancelled, and extending those permits un til a hearing was held. If a man had from $20,000 lo $30,000 in vested in trucking equipment, he said, it would have been un-l fair for Hie commissioner not to grant the permits. Public Important "In a free-enterprise sys tem," said Montgomery, "a man should be able to operate his business until such time as the general public is being harmed. And I've never been convinced that that would result from the issuance of trucking permits," he said. "You (truckers) have come a long way since Iflfid (toward regulating the trucking Industry by legislation), and I'll work lo see that the law is well-administered." Association president Howard Dulley acknowledged that Ihe present law has improved the condition of some truckers hy limiling competition, hut he urged that the truckers strength en Ihcir organization and con tinue to keep legislators in formed on the needs of the industry.

Traffic Toll Declining BT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon's traffic safety record is greatly improved over last year. At this mid-point of the year, the Associated Press list of highway fatalities in the state shows 190 deaths. At this time last year there were 244 deaths 54 more than this year. Of course, last year set a rec ord in highway deaths, a total of 498 by the end of the year. If this year's pace continues. Oregon will end with about 100 j fewer traffic deaths than in' 1061. That would make it the! hest year since 1955 the last time fewer than 400 persons were killed on Oregon roads. 3 GE Scientists Will Probe Fallout Effect Among Eskimos RICHLAND, Wash.
