Milk Bills Get
Study in Salem;
Disputes Develop
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Prau Suff Corrapondent)
Salem, Ore., Feb. 17 U Legis
lation to strengthen testing of
Oregon dairy cows to further safe
guard the milk supply was under
ciose scrutiny or joint legislative
committees today after industry
members from all parts of the
state wrangled last night
Both houses of the Oreeon Ipp
islature held Saturday sessions to
close the sixth week and square
,)away for an expected three final
y weeks of hard work.
' Most bitter dispute at the milk
nearing was the pasteurized-ver-sus
raw controversy and Its ef
fect on undulant fever and other
diseases, with most deploring that
too much blame had come their
way when there were other sourc
es. .
Bill Presented
Oscar Hagg, chairman of the
legislative committee of the Ore-
i gon Dairymen s association, pre
I sented the bills (HB's 83, 234, 369)
'; to a Joint hearing of the house
committee on food and dairy prod
ucts and the senate committee on
agriculture. He praised the indus
try for scientific progress but
said more drastic legislation was
. neeaea tor uniformity and safety.
A bill requiring compulsory
pasteurization (HB234) except in
disease-free -herds drew criticism
that it would put out of business
for eight months any dairyman
with only one reactor. This led to
a proposed amendment that up to
i four tests, one each 30 days, would
be permitted before milk selling
was prohibited from an infected
herd. . ,
There was more agreement on
the bill (HB 369) to bring every
dairy cow in Oregon under test
ing for Bang's disease. In addition
to testing-slaughter and testing-
- vaccinating, a compromise option
was provided giving a dairyman
two years to remove reactors, so
as to not disturb wartime produc
tion oy as many as 4,000 cows be
lieved affected immediately.
Bill Opposed
Women's groups opposed the leg-
islation as trying to drive the
small producer out of business and
giving the department of agricul
ture too much control. The testing
program was criticised as inade
quate but was defended by others
as a wartime casualty.
The senate labor and Industries
committee planned a session Mon
. day to vote on new arguments ad-
vanced by labor and employers on
proposed extension or jobless'ben
efits from $15 to $25 weekly and
from 16 weeks to 26 weeks.
Employers said the reserve
must be protected for post-war
unemployment while labor ar
gued workers were unable to save
'and would need more help in the
reconversion period.
The house prepared for a vote
on the wartime extension of the
"big truck" bill, which would per
mit trucks 60 feet long and weigh
ing 71,250 pounds to use Oregon
highways two more years, follow
ing "do pass" recommendation of
the house highway commiltee.
Would Remove Ceiling
Passage late yesterday of the
Harvey bill in the house to take
away the $40 ceiling on old age
pensions sent the measure to the
senate, where approval was ex
pected in view of a compromise
between old age groups. The bill
would permit the department of
J public welfare to determine
monthly payments on the basis of
need. There was no opposition in
the lower house.
Many controversial bills re
mained bottled up in committee
but leaders of both houses were
pressuring the committee chair-

Friends of Dog

Los Angeles, Feb. 17 (IP Every
dog has his day and t Grady C.
Terry, a cafe owner, said today he
woum see that wool had hers.
Terry said he would go into su
perior court to ask an injunction
to stay tne execution of Woof
five-year-old Staffordshire bull
terrier condemned to die in the
lethal gas chamber for biting to
aeain a zi-montns-om Da by girl.
The dog, apparently acting in a
fit of jealousy, grabbed little Mar
guerite Derdenger at the base of
the skull and shook the tot's life
out Tuesday night. To make sure
that it would "never have a chance
to bite another child," Marguer
ites aistraugnt parents, Sgt. and
Mrs. Charles Derdeneer. asked nf.
ficials at the city dog shelter to
put the animal to death, releasing
a siurm oi criticism irom dog
wa an uver nit; liuuun.
Calls On Law
"Common law says 'every dog
has his day in court.' " Terrv said.
"Well, we're going to see that this
dog gets his day."
Terry consulted two judges in
an attempt to get an injunction to
stay the execution. Thev told him
they could do nothing unless he
obtained a writ and suggested he
hire an attorney. Terry said he
would. Then he said he was Dre
pared to go to court unless the
uerdengers rescinded the death
sentence.
Derdenger said he and his wife
were so grief stricken over the
death of their only child "that we
don t know what we re doing."

'Work or Fight'
Men to Train
Washington, Feb. 17 IP The
army In a few days will begin :
training the first group of men :
Inducted for industrial duties un
der the recent limited "work or
fight" order... .
The men were ordered Into
service by draft boards because
they left essential jobs for which
they had been granted defer
ments. ;
Those physically fit are being
assigned to regular army combat
units. The others will undergo
four weeks of training at Camp
Elli, 111. Then they will be given
a chance to take essential jobs in
private industry, in some cases,
or will be assigned to government
plants or army service units.
These men were Inducted under
a selective service "work or fight"
order issued early in December.
The order was nof as sweeping as
the legislation that is pending in
congress. It applies only to men
who had occupation deferments
and, without draft board permis
Mon, left the jobs for which the
deferments were granted. .
.The May Bill passed by the
house would apply to such cases,
but also would make any man
subject to a call to take an essen
tial job regardless of whether he
ever had such a job. The senate
military arrairs committee, how
tvi r, is rewriting the bill. ,
