Bill to
Split Districts
Stirs Up Scrap
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(Unitod Presa Suff Corroipondent)
Salem, Ore., March 3 ipi The
notly contested reapportionment
bill was expected to stir ud one
of the bitterest scraps ot the 1945
Oregon legislative session In the
senate today.
The bill was reported without
recommendation from committee
late yesterday. t
It seeks to eliminate the 19th
senatorial district, and have one
senator represent Klamath county
alone, instead or sharing one with
several counties.
Sen. Marshall Cornett, Klamath
Falls, father of the bill, claims it
will pass on pledged votes, while
ten. Kex Kins, wnose district
would be wiped out by the bill,
promises a good fight.
Debates Featured
Sharp and sometimes bitter de
bate marked the house session
j i yesterday as conservation inter
ests pushed through their version
of house bill 278, which closes
certain coastal streams to fishing.
The perennial "fish fight" of this
session, the main debate centered
over a motion to substitute the
minority fish and game committee
report (conservationists) for the
majority committee report (fish
ing interests).
The senate unexpectedly passed
a barber price-fixing bill, 20 to 10,
after overriding a majority com
mittee "do not pass" report, and
sent the bill to house.
Two Bills Passed
The house also completed action
v on the new milk control program,
1 passing two bills which require
the pasteurization of all milk from
disease-free herds, and the inspec
tion of cattle for Bangs disease
and tuberculosis.
A previously expected fight over
the measures did not develop, aft
er members of the food and dairy
industry committee explained that
the bill had been amended to suit
most members of the dairy indus
try. Th governor received senate bill

House Approves
State Fish Bill
Salem, Ore.. March 3 iiriThp
Oregon senate today took under
consideration house bill 378, the
compromise" or "conservation"
fish bill, which passed the house
late yesterday after one of the
longest and hardest fought legis
lative battles pf the session.
Rep. William Niskanen, Bend,
introduced the bill after recom
mendations were made after
study to the joint fish and game
committee of the house, and the
bill would close certain coastal
streams to set-net fishing for
parts of the year.
The measure, opposed In its
original form both on the floor
and in committee by fish industry
representatives, came to the house
today with a divided report of
the committee. The majority re
port, by members of the fishing
group, was "do pass" as amended.
The report of the conservation
group was the same, but with a
different set of amendments.
Amendment! Offered
Niskanen said that the amend
ments offered by the fishing in
terests"cut the heart and soul
out of the bill", and that he would
be "ashamed" to vote for them.
He went on to say that the sports
and tourist industry was as large
in Oregon as was the commercial
fishing Industry, and that the
fish runs should be protected.

"It's always been a story of too
little too late in conservation",
Niskanen said, citing instances
of depleted fish runs on the east
coast and the inland lakes.
"We shouldn't gear the economy
of the state to that of a few
poverty striken fishing villages
on the coast", he said.
f Rep. Fred Hellberg, Astoria,
said that the sporting interests
were asking all the concessions
and making none.
"An adequate program of pro
pogation would provide sufficient
runs of fish for commercial and
sports interests alike", he said.

Easy Chair Rental
Causes Headache
San Diego, Calif., March 3 U
The OPA today pondered a new
question, one of the many head
aches arising from the housing
shortage in war-packed San
Diego:
Just what should be the celling
price for overnight or weekly
rental of easy chairs in private
homes?
The "chair rental" business
came to light when a woman
telephoned OPA headquarters to
find out if she was required to
register when renting chairs in
her home to -transients or steady
customers. j
"I charged $15 a month because
the easy chair tenant has no other
place to stay," she reported.
Council Seeking
Aid of 16 fraternal, civic and
business women's organizations
in Bend and Richmond today was
sought by the Deschutes county
ueiense council m recruiting a
platoon of 15 women for service In
army hospitals. A letter was ad
dressed to the heads of .each
organization by George Simer-
ville. coordinator for the defense
coijncil, in which he pointed out
the urgency of enlisting medical,
surgical and clerical technicians
for the Wac hospital units.
, Simerville's letter pointed out
that "there are 30,000 wounded
men returning to our general hos
pitals in the United States every
month", and that there is only
one army nurse for every 26 beds
"which is twice as many as can
be properly cared for."
Women enlisting in this service
will be trained at Ft. Oglethorpe,
Ga., and are assured good and
permanent living quarters, Simer
vllle stated. The training con
sists of six weeks basic training,
followed by six weeks of technical
training. After this, they will be
returned to the Pacific coast
where they may serve in the
army hospital of their choice, and
select service either as techni
cians, surgical technicians or cleri
cal administrative work.
Addresses Given
Would-be recruits were urged to
notify either Simerville, or the
following women: Mrs. W. A.
Wirtz, chairman, telephone 335 J;
Mrs. George Brick, 245-W, and
Miss Lucy Davison, 355 or at the
courthouse. These women will
then supply the applicant with a
blank, and furnish them trans
portation to Portland for an e
amination.
Already four Deschutes county
women have Indicated a desire to
enlist, Simerville said.
The letter was addressed to the
following: .

Red Cross Drive
(Continued from Page One)
Cross offices, was received late
yesterday.
Carrying a bulging and soiled
salt bag, an elderly man, entered
the Red Cross office in the Bank
of Bend -building.
"Here's a little counting for you
to do," he said as he placed the
bag on a desk. Coins, mostly pen
nies, rolled out on the desk. With
out further ado, the man walked
from the office, declining to give
his name. The sack contained
$18.45.
Carl A. Johnson, president of
the Senior chamber of commerce,
said today that that organization
was solidly behind the Junior
chamber of commerce, which is
handling the drive in Bend.
Backing Given
"We want the younger men to
know that we are back of them
100 per cent," Johnson said, "and
we shall give them every assist
ance possible to put this drive over
in a hurry. Let's go!" he added
with enthusiasm.
Vern Larson, War Fund drive
publicity chairman, kindled a fire
under the pending campaign when
he said:
"Our quota by the 12th! That's
the order of the day," adding that
"we all know that everyone is
aware of the remarkable job the
Red Cross is doing, we know that

Salvo Bomb Sight

ing has been Invented bv MSgt.
Waclaw M. Osinskl, Westfield,
Mass., chief armorer at a Flying
f ortress casein Britain.
Reports from the 401st bomb
group headquarters, available
here today, told about the success !
of the sergeant's Invention. When ,
the 401st bomb group adopted it,
the group climbed to first place
for bombing accuracy in the 1st j
bombardment division. Thereupon
Brig. Gen. H. M. Turner, com-
mander of the division, ordered ;
all lead aircraft at his bases to
adopt the device.
meenanism explained
Set. Oslnski's Invention Is an
all electric mechanism which re-',
leases the bombs automatically:
when focusing hairs of the bomb-
signt are augnea wnn tne target, .
and eliminates use of hand levers
by the bombardier. Previously,
the bombardier had to aim his
sight, then" reach over to release
the bombs. Now he is able to give
all his time to aiming the sight.
Another advantage of the device
is its safety factor when heavy
bombers are used in support of
ground troops, enabling the bom
bardier to lay his bombs with less
danger to advancing ground
troops.
Again, the new system is a posi
tive release which off-sets the
changes of jammed levers which
cause "hung" bombs.
Proves Successful
The Invention, which was sug
gested to Sgt. Osinskl by Col. H.
W. Bowman, of Arlington, Va.,
commanding officer of the 401st
and several group bombardiers.
took lour weeks oi work before
being accepted. Sgt. Osinskl work
ed five days and nights on his
plane before installing the device
on planes, it was highly success
ful in its first numerous tests,
though Sgt. Osinskl kept working
on wiring systems till it reached
its present state. The device,
which can be used on either any
mechanical or electrical bomb-
sight system, has been in use for
five months by the First bomb di
vision. Sgt. Osinskl. who attended
bombslght and turret school at
Boise, Ida., in the army, studied
