EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed., Jan. 18, 1963 Page 13A Log Law Truck to Stay By DAN SELLARD Of the RegUleMjuard SALEM (Special) Oregon's independent log truckers are going to have to live with the law they got in 1961 and are criticizing now, at least in the opinion of a legislator who sympathizes with them. Rep. W. 0. Kelsay, D-Roseburg, a man of many years' ex perience in the lumber industry, said Tuesday that the 1961 statute which established a certification process for the log haulers "is more or less a success." Kelsay said this in reply to a question about any changes being contemplated in the statute. The statute has been criti cized, in very general terms, by the Lane County Log Truckers Assn., and other such groups. The law established that any trucker operating in a county when the statute became effective could continue to operate in that county, plus all other counties bordering it. It also provided, and this was the "meat" of the thing, that no one else could move into that area and haul logs without the approval of the Public Utilities Commissioner. A "cer tificate of necessity" was created. Unless the outside trucker could prove that his services were needed in an area, he couldn't move in and haul logs there. It was established, however, that temporary certificates could be issued when a trucker from the outside could prove, for instance, that he had a contract to haul logs. In the view of some Lane County log truckers, the PUC has issued too many temporary certificates at a time when there weren't enough jobs for the home boys. Union to Fight Rail Crew Law Changes The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in Oregon intends to fight any effort to weaken the state's minimum crew law. Al Fisher, representative of Eugene Lodge 314 on the union's state legislative board, said Tuesday the union intends to seek public support in its fight. Luman G. Miller, Portland, manager of the Oregon Railroad Assn., said earlier this month that his organization will seek elimination of the requirement for a third brakeman. This re quirement is in the Oregon law that has been on the books since 1914. Fisher said the union feels the need for the law is even greater now than when it was passed. He explained that trains are longer now and travel much faster. This means, in Fisher's view, that public safety demands a minimum number of men as specified in the law to proper ly operate and control trains moving through Oregon. jfjjL. 0 Do, rrom u $ wfArwfR euRtAi Until Thursday Morning ' Figures Show Low Temperatures Expected Some light drizzle is likely tonight and Thursday morning in some parts of western Oregon but probably not in the Emerald Empire, weathermen said.

The bureau said the new radar instrument can measure rainfall as far as 100 miles away. "From a single, convenient location, it will provide instan taneous measurements of pre cipitation at many points over a broad area," the bureau said in a statement. It said the new device con verts the intensity of radar echoes from 150 points over a river basin into a pattern which can be displayed on a map at a river forecast center.
