House, Senate
Stagger Under
Load of Bills
By WILLIAM. WARREN
SALEM, Feb. 11 (IB House and
Senate staggered today under the
heaviest load of bills up for final
action since the start of the 1953
legislative session.
The House had 18 bills up for
third reading and final floor ac
tion, and the Senate had 15.
None was of major controversial
significance, but the mere reading
and explaining of the bills, even
without debate meant lengthy ses
sions for both chambers.
Most significant were House Bills
15 and 20. They are the bills
brought out by the House Taxation
committee, and represent that com
mittee's conception of the entire
tax nroeram for the state of Ore
gon for the next blcnnium the
next two years.
null for Explanation
The House Highways committee
called on top officials of four state
departments to prepare statements
about proposals for a new motor
vehicle department bill and a new
transport code Dili.
Rep. Edward Geary of Klamath
Falls, chairman of the Committee
asked officials of the secretary of
state's office, the Civil Service de
partment, the Public Utilities Com
mission and the state police to pre
pare written statements about tne
two Dills ana 10 give me column'
tpp siiBirestions as to their work-
ablity. The bills make up one of
the major problems the Highway
committee laces, ueary saiu eaun
bill would be taken up carefully
one page at a time with explana
tions by the attorneys who helped
draft It. '
Senate Has Debate
The Senate had a debate on Its
hands again concerning the remov-
al of enforcement personnel or xne
Oregon Liquor Control Commission
from civil service. Sen. Dean Bry
son of Portland, chairman of the
Senate Alcoholic Traffic commit
tee, argued for the bill, requested
by the Liquor Commission, yester
day. He said it was desired be
cause the Commission felt Its un
dercover men and Inspectors lost
their value if .the Commission lost
confidence in them or if the men
lose confidence in the Commission.
He said the Commission does not
want to be placed in the position
of keeping a man on after they
have reason to suspect he is not
on the up and up.
Employes Can Bo Found
Sen. Philip Hitchcock o Klam
ath Falls said' he had made a
thorough study of civil service, and
(here is nothing to prevent any de
partment head from firing any em
ploye. The employe has recourse to
rivil service hearing, but even If
the Civil Service Commission finds
for the employe, it merely puts him
back on the eligible list. The Com
mission cannot send him back to
the department head who fired
him.
After this hassle, the measure
lost by a close vote.
Toronto Officials Protest
Hope's Anti-British Jokes
TORONTO. Feb. 11 (IM Toron
to labor leaders threatened today
to boycott the iorthcomlne Can
adian national exhibition if it
books Bob Hope or any other
American comedian who "be
littles" the British Empire In his
joKes.
A controversy erupted over
plans for the coronation year cele
bration when word leaked out
that officials might employ an
American comedian as top draw
ing card for the show.
Dave Archer, secretary of the
CIO Toronto Labor Council, said
he was tired of hearing American
gagsters make fun of Britain.
"I'm sick of hearine television
and radio jokes about U.S. aid to
Britain and now fclsennower
should keep his pockets zipped
while Churchill is a r o u n d,"
Archer said.
No Contracts Offered
Directors, of the exhibition,
which will have the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II as Its theme
this year, said they were consider
ing a dozen stars lor No. 1 bluing.
They said Bob Hope, along with
television and movie comics Mar
tin and Lewis, were among the
possibilities but none bad been
offered a contract.
Archer drew applause from
members of the council when lie
told a meeting he hoped the ex
hibition would look cjscwhere
thun the United States for Its
humor.
British Belittled
"I want to protest Jack Benny
and other characters making fun
of British institutions. Nobody
needs to belittle the struggle of
the British people to get back on
their feet," he said.
Toronto civic officials also be
came embroiled in the argument
after news circulated that Hope,
a native of England, would lie in
vited to take part in the August-
September exhibition which an
nually is Canada s biggest cele
bration. "Hope's jokes and the corona
tion ceremony are just like oil
and water; they don't mix," one
angry official said.
Price of Wheat
Climbs Again on
Chicago Market
CHICAGO, Feb. 11 HI'' Wheat
prices bounded as much as four
cents a bushel on the Chicago
Hoard of Trade today but traders
still were not certain that a sharp
decline which began last week
had run Its course.
Other grains were fully steady
at market opening today as wheat
moved to 4Vfc cents, a bushel
higher. Wheat for March delivery
brought $2.33 V Corn was !4 to
1 cents higher with March de
liveries quoted at $1.53. Oats were
unchanged to cents higher and
rye 'A to higher. Soybeans rode
in a range Vj lower to higher.
.Some Encouraging News
Several encouraging influences
were noted In market reports and
traders hoped they might stem a
general lowering pf grain and
other agricultural prices.
And at New York, it was re
ported that bakers yesterday
bought more than 100,000,000
pounds of flour, the largest pur
chases of flour for a single day
in more than three months. The
bakers apparently were prompt
ed by the sharp break in cash
wheat prices on Friday and Mon
day. Corn, wheat, oats, rye and soy-.
beans recovered briskly yesterday
after a two-day slump that drop
ped wheat prices 12 cent a bu
shel. Too Much Gruin
Despite the recovery, some
traders felt there would be a fur
ther decline, and warned that a
prolonged drop would affect
many other segments of the nai
Hon s economy.
These sources said yesterday's
recovery did not alter the basic
fact that there is "too much grain
on hand."
But a spokesman for one big
grain commission f.lrm said that
"the present liquidation may
have run its course."
He said prospects for the new
crops are "not too good." Corn,
he said, is selling well below the
government loan level, and should
begin to stabilize.
