Parking Consultant Chief Also Featured Entertainer : Probe Proposed SALEM W A legislative In- terlm committee to Investigate ! use of public funds for lobby. ; ing is asked in a resolution in- troduced by Rep. Ed Whelan, ; D-Portland. It is backed by the Oregon AFL-CIO. Amazon Kiwanians heard a report on Eugene's current parking study Friday noon from the president of a nationally-known traffic and parking consultant firm. Then they were entertained by a performer who has been featured on the Ed Sullivan and Jack Paar television shows. E. A. Barton was the speak er and Gene Barton was the entertainer. Both were, the same man. Oakridge Man Injured in Fall OAKRIDGE Martin Elam, SB, of Oakridge, was in critical condition at Sacred Heart Hos pital in Eugene Saturday, after being injured in an industrial accident at Westfir. Elam, a pipefitter for Hines Lumber Co. at Westfir, was in jured about 7:30 a.m. when he fell from scaffolding Inside a fuel bin that was under con struction at the lumber mill. According to witnesses. Elam was installing a sprinkler sys tem when he apparently lost his footing and fell 20 feet to the floor of the building. Ho was given emergency treatment at the Oakridge Clinic, for a punctured lung, broken ribs, and a leg fracture, and then taken to Sacred Heart Hospital by ambulance. By DAN SELLARD Of the BeglslerCuard SALEM (Special) Sen. Donald Husband, R-Eugene, a veteran of six previous legislative sessions, doesn't agree with those who are call ing this a "do-nothing Leg islature." "You shouldn't measure a Legislature's worth or ac complishment by the number of bills it has passed," he said for this inteniew. "Stopping a bunch of bad bills is just as important." He does share the opinion of other legislators that "this is a hard-working, experi enced Legislature." It is a Legislature whose thinking is dominated by money problems "more than any ever before," Husband said. Calling on his long experi ence, Husband pointed out that each Legislature be comes known by the largest problem it faced. The 1951 Legislature, he DONALD HUSBAND said, was dominated by the highway problem and it -passed the first of a series of special borrowing pro-. grams to finance highways. The 1953 session was known for its revision of the Oregon Code; the 1955 session dealt with a batch of far-reaching local government changes; the 1957 session dealt with education and set the pace for basic school support and school reorganization; the 1959 session did a lot about labor codes; the 1961 session also dealt with a lot of labor problems including the pro posed changes in workmen's compensation. This 1963 session, Husband explained, will become known for two problems finances and constitutional revision. On finances, the veteran senator thinks that the tax program finally approved will do away with allowing deductions for federal taxes; will approve a cigarette tax; and broaden the base to in clude more taxpayers. One piece of taxation leg islation sponsored by Husband haa passed the Senate. This would relieve the property tax burden on persons older than 65. "I think this will give our older people a little more incentive to live, if you want to say it that way," hi com mented. The bill gives about 10 per cent tax relief for a person over 65 if his earnings are $3,000 or less, and a bigger percentage as he grows older, to the point that he pays no property tax at all when he becomes 85. What is probably taking most of Husband's attention, and surely most of his time, at this session is revising the Oregon Constitution. He was a member of the revision commission which presented the Legislature with the big package; now he's on a committee which is considering the package. He is bound and deter mined that the committees turn out a large revision and is worried that the commit- Kiwanis Club Briefed on Goals of Survey Comprehensive Parking Study Begins Noticed those crews of col lege men, note pads in hand, on a number of Eugene's down town street corners? They were busy last week and will be at work for another week tabulating information for a comprehensive parking study. The study is being carried out in both the downtown core area and on the University of Ore gon campus. E. A. Barton & Associates, nationally-recognized traffic and parking consultants, is heading up the study. The firm, with head offices in Cleveland, Ohio, was hired jointly by the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, the Eugene City Council and the University of Oregon. E A. Barton, president of the firm, has been personally over seeing the work the past week. Goals of the survey, he said, are to first determine parking needs in the downtown and uni versity areas, then recommend feasible ways to finance and pro vide whatever parking is required. De 2 bedroom It J utb ul Barton confessed to the Kiwanians that the talent he has in twisting balloons into all sorts of animal shapes earned him some $7,000 last year, simply in incidental per formances. He said a talent scout for the Ed Sulivan show hap pened to observe him twisting balloons at a private gather ing in a nightclub, and signed him for the national TV show. Cliff Cole, Kiwanis Club president, told the club mem bers they'd had some $85,000 worth of entertainment at their luncheon meeting fig ured on the basis of the $2,000 Barton earned for six minutes work on the Ed Sullivan show.

McGarey THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH April 8th happens to be the day Ponce de Leon landed in America more than four centuries ago, in 1513. He landed near the site of St. Augustine, Florida, which be came one of America's oldest cities. Ponce de Leon was looking for the same thing a lot of people are still searching for when they go to Florida , . . the fountain of youth. He died still looikng, and his search helped him to an early end. Actually, many people who have retired to Florida in modern times have come closer to finding the fountain of youth than Ponce de Leon did. The successful ones are those who know that there really is no such fountain . . . but, even for those of us who are at or near retirement age, there is a full, active life lull ahead, if we remain ad venturous enough to keep looking for it. McGatiey't EUGENE MEMORIAL CHAPEL Funeral Directors and Counselor M B. 13th DI M71I Barton addressed the Amazon Kiwanis Club Friday noon and talked to a Chamber of Com merce gathering later in the afternoon. At both meetings he stressed the fact that a statisti cal survey is of little value un less the community follows through with a program aimed to correct the weaknesses point ed out by the study. "A statistical summary dropped into your laps doesn't do a bit of good in itself," he told the Kiwanians. "We feel a consultant's value lies in pick ing up where the report leaves off . . . helping motivate the program . . . trying to help sell it to the public and to property owners." Barton told the Kiwanians he's been in the parking study business for more than 25 years. He said it is his firm's usual practice to send in pro fessional overseers but to hire local people such as the uni versity students to do in-the-field tabulations and interviews. The current study, he said, will include a review of previ ous reports and studies on park ing in the Eugene area, an up-to-date physical inventory of the use of every single square foot of the downtown area (from which parking "demand factors" will be computed), ve hicle volume counts at key in tersections, a curb parking check to determine use of pres ent on-street parking, a study of off-street parking facilities, and "parking patron inter views." x From experience in other sur veys, Barton predicted that somewhere between 80 and 85 per cent of the patrons inter viewed will state they had a hard time finding a place to park. But. he said, it is too early to draw any conclusions from the portion of the study made so far. A preliminary report will be presented in about two months, he said, with a final report scheduled about one month after that. Barton said it is easy to see there is a parking problem in the University of Oregon campus area simply from the fact that 6,700 students and faculty members hold parking permits while only 1.400 off- street parking spaces and 1,200 curb spaces are available with in the campus district. tees will "change so many things," it will be hard to "mesh" into a good, new con stitution. "We could make a few changes and still bave a good constitution but I am con cerned that there will be too many changes because of leg islators exercising their au thority." Husband dislikes extremely the idea of having annual legislative sessions, as recom mended by the revision com mission. "It would cost too much, take too much time and wouldn't accomplish much," he said. As chairman of the Senate Local Government Commit tee, Husband finds that his experience as an attorney serves him well. Many of the bills in that committee have to do with special districts, school boards, municipalities and so on the very political divis ions that Husband serves ai a lawyer in Eugene. In this field, he is consid ered an expert. A fellow legislator said of Husband in the 1961 session: "He's the only one who knows anything about a lot of this stuff so we take his word for it." Husband is a conservative, and this seats him wcU in the Oregon Senate which is ruled by a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats. He also enjoys himself and is looking forward to the an nual baseball game between legislators and lobbyists. He's a former semi-pro ball player and insists he can still, at the age of 62, play a few innings of good ball. In the 1961 session, his feel ings were hurt because of a fellow named Jack Kennedy, the annual battle became touch football, called "The New Frontier Bowl." This time, the senator hopes that the .world will, return to a semblance of sanity and that the game -will be base ball, complete with a keg of beer and oldtime ball players.
