PAGE THREE
House and Senate
; Give Approval to
Many Measures
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., March 10 (IBOre
gon's weary legislature faced a
full schedule today, last of the
ninth week, of the 43rd session. -
Major Issues confronting the
members (today included, in the
house the 'bill to limit PUD expan-
)sion, which came out with a "do
pass" report, unchanged from the
way It passed the senate. Others
include an alcohol control bill, two
senate bills relating to the com
munity property law, and one
which would give additional funds
to schools.
The house yesterday completed
action on a series of bills to grant
new large sums to the schools.
The bills would be referred to the
. 'people at a special election in
June, if another bill gets senate
approval.
Barber Bill Passed
The house also passed the con
troversial "barber bill" and re
referred to the revision of laws
committee senate bill 117, one of
the series of alcohol control bills
sponsored by the liquor commis
sion. The other liquor bills (SB 144
145) giving the commission great
er enforcement powers were
given senate concurrence in house
amendments and sent to the gov
ernor. The senate gave final passage
to the Harve bill (HB 52) remov
J ing the present $40 "ceiling" on
old age pensions but turned down
attempts to insert a $40 or $50
"floor" of minimum payments.
The new law would leave pay
ments to the discretion of the wel
fare commission.
School Bills Pass
The school bills passed the
house with little dissent. Only in
cident in the debate was when
some of the education leaders in
the house sought to raise by $2,
000,000 the amounts provided.
The bills (HB's 415. 416. and
417) provide for a five-mill tax
levy to raise $5,000,000 for higher
education buildings; change the
$5,000,000 now given schools from
the income tax property offset
amounts to $8,000,000, and provide
for a two-cent cigarette tax to
raise $2,000,000 and to be distrib
uted to schools on a classroom
unit basis. The bills all passed by
substantial majorities.
K The house killed a bill to license
dental hygienists (HB 172) after
Dr. William T. Johnson made a
plea that it be voted dow-. He
cited the danger of semi-trained
assistants doing work which
should be done by dentists.
Would Fix Prices
The "barber bill" which would
allow the board of barber exam
iners to fix prices for haircuts in
counties upon the request of 70
per cent of the barbers, passed, 40
to 17. Rep. Phil Brady said It was
a bill for the "forgotten man."
The bill's constitutionality was
challenged, partly because a bill
similar was recently declared il
legal. Rep. W. W. Balderee objected to
it "on principles" saying that if
barbers could fix prices, there is
nothing to prevent grocers or res
taurants from doing the same.
Senate bill 117, one of the bills
requested by the liquor commis
sion, was referred to the revision
of laws committee, after its con
stitutionality was questioned. Rep.
Alex Barry also said that it would
harm the "model law," the Knox
liquor law.
Objection Voiced
The bill would "mar a master-!
piece" of well drawn legislation, i
he said. - i
Rep. Stanhope Pier asked for'j
me oui s passage wun me same
arguments he used on other alco
hol bills "the commission .- has
asked for them to aid in law en-1
forcement. We should give them
to the commission."
The bill was referred on a 31 to
26 vote!
Senate Revives
Scrip Liquor Bill
Salem, Ore., March 10 UD The
Oregon senate today faced anoth
er battle over a scrlu liauor hill
to permit licensed clubs to pool !
purchases and serve by the drink j
aner reiusing to sneive tne bill on
the basis of an unfavorable com
mittee report. . "
The vote was 17 to 13 against
the report of the alcoholic traffic
committee but advocates could not
muster the two-thirds vote to sus
pend the rules for final passage,
so the measure (HB112) comes up
again.
Sen. Earl Newbry, of Medford,
said his measure was sponsored
by Elks lodges and would benefit
88 clubs now licensed by the liqu
or commission. He said Wash
ington finds the law successful,
because it discourages bootlegg
ing, permits liquor to be pooled
and withdrawn by a club member
by means of scrip.
Bill Attacked
Sen. P. H. Stadelman, of The
Dalles, chairman of the commit
tee attacked the bill as discrimin
atory on behalf of club members
and hailed- it as "the opening
wedge to selling drinks over the
bar". He pictured a growth of
clubs and a virtual return "to the
old saloon days".
I Sen. Lew Wallace, Portland, ac
icused night clubs of fighting the
j bill and said liquor was now be
jing served in the clubs anyway.
Sen. Irving Rand said the prin
cipal of Oregon's basic Knox law
was that no person should sen
liquor, whereas the scrip law in
effect permitted a club to sell
drinks over the bar.

Liberalization of
Pensions Backed
Salem, Ore., March 10 IP) Ex
cept for house concurrence in
minor amendments, the Oregon
legislature today had liberalized
old age pensions by removing the
$40 per mpiuh maximum pay
ments. The senate passed the house-
approved Harvey bill (HB52) with
only one dissent Sen. Coe Mc-
Kenna of Portland who was op
posed to the bill without a "floor"
of $40 for a minimum payment.
The senate not only refused to
put in a $40 floor but a $50 sug
gestion as well. Members of the
ways and means committee said
the raising of the ceilings above
$40 would increase state costs
greatly and there was insufficient
revenue flatly to guarantee every
recipient a minimum of $40. It
was cited most" cases received
more than that amount on the
basis of need.
Wallace Accuses Snell
Sen. Lew Wallace, state demo
cratic chairman, accused , Gov.
Earl Sncll of "politics" when he
campaigned for more aid to the
aged, which led to a flurry of hot
words as the senators wrangled
over the question.
Sen. McKenna deplored removal
in the house of the $40 floor in
Rep. Joseph Harvey's bill and
Frank Hilton, Portland, said need
should be defined in the bill as a
minimum payment of $40, includ
ing outside income.
Elderly Suspect
Outruns Officers
Los Angeles, March 10 dpi
George Seymour gave his age as
68 today when he was booked at
the Los Angeles jail as a burglary
suspect.
But officers didn't believe him
until he produced a birth certifi
cate. Two of the youngest detec
tives on the force had to chase
the oldster two city blocks before
they could arrest him last night.
SLASHINGS BURNED'

of men today began burning slash
ings near the Tumalo reservoir
area where a recent sale of tim
ber was made to the Brooks-Scan-loh
Lumber Company Inc., it was
reported today by Ranger Eugene
Wilmoth.
Bend Brothers Meet in Italy;
Both Are War plane Pilots
15th Air Force in Italy, March 10
Sam and Phil Peoples, of Bend,
Ore., who look enough alike to be
twins, but aren't, hadn't seen each
other since July, 1944, until they
staged an Impromptu family re
union recently at Sam's P-51, Mus
tang fighter base in Italy. The
brothers are both fighter pilots,
but witli different air forces based
In different sections of Italy.
First Lieutenant Samuel R.
Peoples, Jr., is a P-51,. Mustang
pilot attached to a veteran fighter
group of the 15th (strategic) air
.force. While Sam flics escort mis
sions for 15th heavy bombers deep
Into nazi territory, younger broth
er Phillip L. Peoples, 20, flies
sortie sweeps in a P-47, Thunder
bolt, in support of ground action
of the U. S. 5th army In North
Italy. Phil, a second lieutenant, is
attached to a fighter squadron of
the 12th (tactical) air force.
- 'They are the sons of Samuel R.
Peoples, 708 Riverside Blvd., Bend,
Ore. Both are graduates of Bend
high school where a third brother,
Leonard, 17, Is currently a student.
Wlille the military careers of
the two brothers have been simi
lar, they have never coincided,
nor have the brothers ever been
stationed at the same air field.
It was while attending the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology
that Sam, in July, 1942, enlisted
for cadet training which he began
in February, 1943, getting his
wings and commission as second
lieutenant at Luke Field, Phoenix,
Cal., Dec. 4, 1943.
Brother ' Phil began ' primary
training in July, 1943, after a year
at Oregon State college. He re
ceived his wings and commission
at Eagle Pass, Texas, in May, 1944.
It was at Abeline, Texas, where
Phil was stationed after receiving
his commission, that Sam visited
him the last time they were to
gether, In July, 1944.
Although Sam has a head start
on Phil, in point of length of
service, the two are on a nearly
equal footing as concerns over
seas duty. Following his gradua
tion from pilot school, Sam did a
tour of duty in the States as in
structor at Minter Field, Bakers
field, Calif., arriving overseas in
Nevcmber, 1944. One month later,
Phil arrived in the Mediterranean
theater, but the pressure of their
duties prevented them from see
ing each other until now.
Comparing notes here, the
brothers found that both are eli
gible for the air medal, Sam hav
ing flown 10 missions and Phil
31. This makes their air records
to date about equal as sorties in
the 12lh air force are more fre
quent and of shorter duration
than in the 15th. Sam received his
promotion to first lieutenant
Jan. 20, 19-15. .
The brothers have similar post
war ambitions: they want to go
back to college and complete their
educations.

Salem, Ore., March 10 Ui A ;
bill to divert into the school fund
all recoveries under Oregon's
gambling laws, (SB165) was ap
proved by the senate today, but

ble the amount he lost.if gambling I

the school fund.

courage gambling rather than pro
hibit it. Many senators seesawed
on the rollcall, with final passage
