Oregon's Solons
facing Period
Of Payless Days
By Eric W.. Allen, Jr.
(United Prcw Surf Cerrapondtnt)
Salem, Ore., Feb. 26 IIP Ore
gon's legislators get the last pay
for them of the 1945 session to
day, the 50th of the 43rd legisla
ture, and from now on are on
their own financially.
As one legislator put it, "Now
we let our secretaries feed us."
No controversial bills are up
for final passage in either the
house or senate today, with per
haps the biggest potential fire
works of the day scheduled in a
hearing this afternoon on house
joint memorial 7, which asks the
1 deportation of all alien Japanese,
and those American born who
have demonstrated disloyalty or
announced dual citizenship.
Debate Forecast
In the house during the morn
ing, hot debate is forecast on a
divided committee report over
house joint resolution 5, which
asks that a 25 per cent limit te
placed on federal income taxes,
and the repeal of the 16th (in
come tax) amendment to the na
tional constitution. A majority of
the house taxation and revenue
recommended "do not pass" while
a minority supported the resolu
tion. Seven salary increase bills were
due for senate action, with more
expected to come to the floor this
week.
Action on house bill 306, pro
viding for the office of registrar
of elections in Multnomah coun
ty, was postponed in the senate
late Saturday when it was laid
on the table. The bill, one of the
most bitterly contested of the
session, caused a democratic mi
nority to start "slowdown" tactics
in the house last week in an at
tempted filibuster to prevent the
hill's final passage.
664 .Bills Introduced
A total of 664 bills have been
Introduced to the session so far.
The house has passed 230 of its
own bills, the senate 112.
Seventeen new laws are on the
Oregon statute books today, after
their signature by Gov. Earl Snell
' Saturday. Most of them are cor
rective and administrative in
nature.
Among them are bills (HB's
340 and 341) which give veter
ans a preferential rating in civil
service examinations, and auto
matically extend leaves of ab
sence for state officers in mili
tary service when they are re
electedi Th latter bill also- qual
ifies them for re-election.
House bill 316, also signed, per
mits district attorneys of any
county to file mandamus proceed
ings against initiative or referen
dum petitioners. It rose out of a
suit last fall, which sought to
prevent the "little Townsend
plan" from appearing on the bal
lot. The supreme court refused
jurisdiction because it held the
suit could not be filed in Marion
county by the district attorney
of another county.

Bend Sergeant
Breakthrough Int6 Belgium
"I wonder if the Deode at homo
know how lucky they are this war
is being fought over here?"
A Bend sergeant on the western
front, W. E. Roats, asks this ques
tion In a letter written shortly
after the German breakthrough
into Belgium, and he backs his
question with a few front line in
cidentsthe roar of artillery in
the distance, the sudden advance
of the Germans, the capture of a
town previously held by the Amer
icans and the hasty evacuation of
the village by Sgt. Roats and six
companions.
"We made a sudden run for it,
but lost all our equipment and
clothing, except what we were
wearing," the sergeant comment
ed. He told of people in the vil
lage begging the Americans not
to leave, maintaining the Germans
were bad. After the attack started,
Sgt. Roats and his companions
were in no man's land, "and we
sure had no business there," he
said. The Bend's sergeant's ac
count of the evacuation of the
village was on a pencilled note,
dated Jan. 3, and enclosed in an
envelope bearing a pen-and-ink
note, written on January 1.
Also enclosed in the letter was
a German propaganda pamphlet.
One side of the pamphlet bears a
cabaret scene of girls and young
men, captioned: "The Draft Dodg
er on the Home Front." Included
in "information" in the German
pamphlet was this notation: "Al
most every day you front line

Mrs. Franlc Weiss
Dies in Woodburn
Services were held in Wood
burn this morning for Mrs. Frank
Weiss, the former Susan Brogan,
daughter of an early-day Central
Oregon family. Mrs. Weiss spent
her girlhood in Antelope, and at
tended school there and in The
Dalles. Her parents were the
late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brogan.
Surviving Mrs. Weiss are her
husband, with the Southern Pa
cific Co. at Woodburn, and two

Points Are Added
On Lard and Oils
Washington, Feb. 26 (IB House
wives found higher ration values
on margarine, lard, shortening
and cooking oils when they went
out to do their shopping today.
Because of a tight supply situa
tion, the office of price administra
tion ordered these increases over
the weekend:
Margarine from three red
points a pound to five.
Lard, shortening, salad and
cooking oils from two points a
pound to four.
Butter was not affected. It re

Prior to thp German break
through into the Belgium bulge,
Sgt. Roats and his companions
were comfortably housed in the
German village, the sergeant's
note indicates. He wrote: .
"On Christmas eve we had just
moved into a big old house and
there were some people living in
part of it. The boys had found a
few schnapps, and were singing a
few Christmas songs. All at once
we heard women singing the same
tunes, but in German. They were
outside the door, so we invited
them in. We sang in English and
they in German, and had a great
time. The funny part of it was
that their men folks are in the
German army and between songs
we could hear the burst of ma
chine gun fire. Kind of made us
wonder: Their sons and husbands
over the hill shooting at us, and
their families singing Christmas
carols with us.
"One woman said if her son
knew she was singing with the
American boys on Christmas eve
he would be the happiest boy on
earth. But they are not all like
that. Some of them gave us a
rather cold welcome."
Sgt. Roats enclosed in his let
ter a snapshot of a town, its
streets and buildings a mass of
rubble. Under a sign pointing to
Strasbourg is Sgt. Roats.
The sergeant's wife, Georgia, Is
a resident of Bend.

road and the Central Oregon high
way. Several rock points were re
moved, the road was straightened
and some long fills were put in.
Work on the Dickie road, not yet
complete, will probably be finished
tomorrow, McAllister stated.
Now that the frost is out of the
ground general spring mainte

start next week in the northern
end of the county and will be fin
ished in about two months, accord
ing to McAllister.
