Civil Rights Bill
Up for Discussion
Salem, Ore, Feb. 7 PV The
Oregon senate today defeated, 26
to u, tne controversial "civil
rights' bill.
Ernie Tyle on New Beat
Salem, Ore., Feb. 7 (IP) The
Oregon senate today opened dis
cussion on the explosive civil
rights bill, a measure to prohibit
the barring of a person from a
place of accommodation because
of race, color or creed.
Feeling is running high on the
bill but, as the senate passed the
measure and sent it to the house
In 1939 (where it died in commit
tee), observers felt that It had a
. good chance to pass. It is spon
sored by three Portland senators, I
.Lewis Wallace, Thomas Mahoney
and (Joe a. McKenna.
Tax Study Approved
The senate yesterday passed
and sent Intact to the house a res
olution calling for creation of a
tax study commission to work
during the ensuing biennlum on
a survey of the tax setup In Ore
gon.
The measure originally allowed
the commission to hire a firm of
tax experts, but on the insistence
of the senate that provision was
to be eliminated. The tax com
mittee, however, after considering
the matter, reported it out agdln,
and It passed with the "tax ex
perts" provision still Included.
The resolution was Introduced
after Gov. Earl Snell recommend
ed such a commission in his blcn
nlal message.
Vote Is 20 to 10
The vote on the measure was
20 to 10, with the mlnbrity object
Ing because "Interim committees
seldom get anything done," and
because some senators felt that It
was an attempt to "force" accept
ance of a sales tax, which Oregon
voters have four times, rejected.
In the house yesterday, a bill
by Rep. Joseph Harvey to require
"adequate" lighting in places
where liquor is served was Indefi
nitely postponed when the house
adopted an adverse committee report.

Mrs. America
Meets fhe War
Mrs. America will have ample
time to spend the red and blue
food stamps In her family's ration
books under the new expiration
date plan. Each stamp will be.
good for about four months. As
they are validated each month,
the expiration date will be an
nounced, and .the housewife can
budget them accordingly. It will
be no trouble keeping track of
them if the dates are jotted down
on the back of the stamps. Why
not take out your pencil now, and
make these notations. Sugar
stamp 34 expires February 28.
Sugar stamp 35 becames good on
February 1 and will expire on
June 2. Note that the five pounds
which can be purchased with
stamp No. 35 will have to be
stretched over three months, In
stead of two and a hulf as has
been the case up to now. The red
and blue stamps which became
good early in December red
Q5 through S!5 and blue stamps
X5 through Z5 and A2 through
B2 can be used through March
31st. The next group red stamps
T5 through X5 and blue stamps
C2 through G2 expire on April
28. The latest stamps to be vali
dated red stamps Y5 and Z5 and
A2 through D2 which became
good on January 28, and blue
stamps H2 through M2 which bo
came good on February 1 all ex
pire onJune 2.
Switching to the subject of
shoes, here are some more ration
ing dates or perhaps in this ense
they should properly be called
"non-rationing." Between Febru
ary 19 and March 3, limited quan
tities of men's and women's "odd
lot" shoes can be sold without ra
tion stamps at specified price re
ductions. This ration holiday will
give Mr. and Mrs. America the
benefit of extra shoe mileage that
might otherwise remain on store
shelves, and It will help dealers
clear their stocks of odds and
ends and broken sizes. However,
the number of shoes to be sold ra
tion free In this period will be
small about 3 per cent of the
total rationed supplies now In re
tailers and wholesalers hands.

Loggers Protest
Dumping of Logs
Salem, Ore., Feb. 7 UP) The
controversy over logging trucks
on Oregon highways today was
carried before the joint roads and
highways' committee of the legis
lature. The Ellis-Parkinson bill (SB43)
would permit overweight logging
trucks to proceed at slow speed
and with a warning flag Instead
of being dumped at weighing sta
tions under present law. Logging
operators told the legislators that
the dumping practice was danger
ous, costly and Inefficient, which
would be remedied under the bill
by an alternate system of using
board feet measurement in addi
tion to weighing.
Sen. Rex Ellis, Pendleton, and
ex-Rep. John Sncllstrom, Eugene,
argued lumbermen needed relief
because logs varied greatly In
weight and made accurate loading
difficult. .
Baldock Speaks
Highway Engineer R. H. Bal
dock and Highway Commission
Chairman T. H. Banfleld contend
ed only a small minority wilfully
overloaded and the use of weigh
ing scales In logging camps en
ahled most operators to avoid
overloads and still carry capacity
weight.
Banfleld said highways were
broken down under overloads and
a duplicate standard would be
confusing. .
The committee also-heard argu
ments for a bill (SB95) which
would Increase the county share
of highway funds from 15.7 to 20
per cent, or a minimum of $2,800,
000 Instead of $2,000,000. County
Judges headed proponents for the
measure on grounds counties
were unable' to divert more local
tax funds to highways being worn
out by heavy travel.
Banfleld replied that lare coun
ties were receiving excessive
amounts under this svstem, mak
ing it difficult for smaller coun
ties or the state to improve sec
ondary roads.
