Krier was released from the coun ty jail last night on court order with instructions from the district attorney to report at Ft. Lewis at once.

Authority io sell rl property has been granted la connection with two Court News Barrage of Bills On Jobless Compensation A barrage of bills designed to change various sections of the exist ing unemployment compensation laws are ready for Introduction In the house today by Representative Manley J. Wilson ID., Clatsop-Col umbia.) One of these bills Is designed to make the unemployment compensa tion commissioners elective Instead of appointed by the governor, and appears to eliminate the merit rat ing system for determining employ ers' future rates of contribution to the unemployment compensation fund. 'Another bill would change the amount of necessary payrolls to come under the jurisdiction of the act. At present a minimum of $500 ex empts employers, but under the new amendment, a payroll of $125 would be the minimum. It also decreases the number of Individuals who must be employed to come under the act from the present 4 to merely one. Seasonal Industries also come un der the act, if the repeal of the section of the Oregon Code dealing with this phase of the law Is pass ed. At present, ' seasonal employes do not come under the benefits for compensation, but Wilson wishes to repeal this section. Another Wilson bill relates to con tracts between employers and con tract physicians for the care of their employers. Provides that such con tracting physicians shall furnish medicine, hospitalization, etc., that may be deemed necessary and advis able. Rep. Adams, D., Multnomah), has Introduced a bill to the legislation and rules committee that would broaden the scope of powers of the unemployment Insurance. Addition al benefits would be paid for depen dent wife and children to unemploy ed men, providing that their week ly benefit is less than $20 per week. The individual would be entitled to an additional $3 for dependent wife, and $2 for each dependent child un der the age limit- of 18. The total weekly benefits shall not exceed one-sixteenth of his total wages for employment by employers during that quarter of his base period In which such total wages were high est, or the $20, whichever sum is the lesser. This places a check on the amount to be paid lor depen dents. Another bill would give the com mission power to decide the merits of workers who voluntarily left their jobs, and also applies to those work erse discharged for misconduct. They would automatically be disqua lified for the calendar week In which they left their work, and the usual waiting period Is omitted, - The com mission would decide whether bene fits should be paid these workers under the act. estates, one to Frank S.

Labor Shortage In the Offing The northwest will soon be facing a double edged problem In the mat ter of labor, Lauren E. Hlnman, of Portland, warned members of the Salem Kiwanls club during their luncheon today. The problem, brought about by the national de fense program, will be one of labor shortage In the near future and an other when the emergency Is past and thousands of highly paid men are turned loose without Jobs. It is the latter part of the problem that presents the most serious conse quences, the speaker said. He urged that employers be thinking of a so lution right now and not wait until the emergency arises. Hlnman urged persons seeking work or a chance In their positions to not rush to Portland, Seattle and other centers where ship build ing yards are beginning to operate. Rather, he said, they should keep in close contact with the state em ployment agencies and the chambers of commerce of the various cities. The time will soon come, however, when the northwest will no longer be able to provide the necessary labor. Hlnman declared that it was al most certain that labor unions will be called upon to provide the bulk of men for the new Jobs. "I hold no brief for the labor unions, but they will be in a position to clear the men," he said. Bill Regulating Opt omefrists A bill to make optometrists res ponsible for statements in their ad vertisements was Introduced today by the Joint medicine, pharmacy and dentistry committee.

There is an organizational sig nificance to the fact that all of the proposals to amend and liberalize benefits under the unemployment compensation and pension acts so far offered have had their origin in the recognized "leftist" group from the metropolitan area where new dealism Is popular, and that there exists an audible silence among the rank and file of upstate delegations and the conservative republican ele ment from Portland on these sub jects. . Practically the only real up-stater to Identify himself with the move ment to reform and liberalize exist ing social security set-ups is Rep. Vernon Bull, Union county new dealer, who has offered a resolution calling for a special investigating committee of senators and repre sentatives to probe the admlnlstra tlon of the state welfare commis sion, particularly as It relates to the distribution of old age pension funds. Other new proposals related to the investigation scheme are one to Increase the maximum limit of pen sions from $30 to $40 a month, and another to require at least two members of county welfare com mittees be named from among per sons on relief. Whether so designed or not, Sen ator Thomas Mahoney's measures are proving a magnet to draw the well financed liquor and gambling lobbies into the capltol corridors Following hard on the heels of bill to prohibit the sale or au iora- lied wines in the statei Manoney to day offered two measures aimed at the gamblers. One would mal:e gambling a felony Instead of a mis demeanor and excuse players of games of chance from liability o( arrest, and the other would permit patrons of commercial gambling places to recover their losses from the owners of buildings in wmcn games are located as well as from operators of the games, Continuation of Share Cost of Bridge from page 1 The new bridge will be located directly east of the old bridge, Just far enough upstream to permit its construction and leave the old bridge standing while construction Is going on. This will put the Linn county end on a natural rock bench which will require the blasting and a cut from three to five feet deep will be needed for the roadway ap proach. Marion county draws charge of the construction work on the new bridge and tearing down the old as well as of work on approaches un der an old agreement by a former county court in which the handling of the five inter county bridges along the county line Is divided. Marion has charge of the Gates, Mill Otty and Jefferson bridges and Linn county of the Mehama and Greens bridges, the cost on all of them, however, being shared 60-60. Those here from Linn county for the conference were County Judge Meriitt, Commissioners Reninger and Smith and Engineer Larson. The contractor is expected to start work on the bridge early In April and the contract requires completion by June 30. Rex Pierce Loses Out as Fireman By unanimous action of the Salem civil service commission yesterday, Rex Pierce Is removed from the eli gibility list of the Salem fire depart ment for the reason that he regis tered in Portland after having quali fied under the Salem civil service act. A contest against Pierce was started before the commission by Max Allen, candidate for the eligi bility list, who presumably will take Pierce's place. Pierce, former Willamette student, registered In Salem April 7, 1938, the record shows. He took the civil service examination for fireman on May 9, 1939, but lost his legal resi dence by registering In Portand Sep tember 3, 1939. In removing him from the eligible list the commission acted on the advice of City Attorney Lawrence Brown. Pierce has been working in the department In vacation service.

Ireland. Ireland and Hudson families, 18 Kennedy Says On U.S. Entrance (Continued from page 1) than 380 air raids during his service in England, told the committee that many people in the British govern ment felt they were not getting all the aid they might normally expect rrom the united state- Kennedy appeared before the committee to testify on the admin istration's proposal for- lend-lease aid to the British, In a radio ad dress last week he expressed favor for the principle of giving the Brit ish all aid short of war but made it clear he was not wholly in accord with the methods1 put forward by President Roosevelt. . Doesn't Understand : ' Questioned as to whether he be lieved a "crisis" would develop In the next 60 or 80 days, as adminis trative spokesmen told the commit tee last week, Kennedy said he did not know exactly what was meant and that there were many things in tne military situation which he did not understand. "I have never understood, for in stance, why the German army per mitted a British army of 300,000 to escape from Dunkerque," he said If the German air force was as strong as they claimed he contln ued, he thought they had a perfect chance to annihilate that British force. The diplomat said also he could not understand why the Germans had not wrought greater destruction in Britain's Industrial centers. "If they have the strength to cap ture the air," he said, "the crisis might come any day. So far, they haven't indicated they have that strength." Representative Pish (R.-N.Y.) asked Kennedy whether he knew the war aim of the British. "I certainly don't, sir," the am bassador replied. When Pish asked whether Ken nedy thought something ought to be done to let -Oils country know the nature of those war alms before proceeding with further aid to Brit ain, Kennedy said he did not under stand the question and suggested it was one for the state department. Britain's situation would become "serious and vital," Kennedy said, if British shipping losses continued at anything like the rate of losses prev alent previous to last month. Stolen Check Forged, Cashed A check which waa stolen from some sample checks at the Unruh & Knapp printing establishment yes terday was later filled in with forg ed names by the thief and cashed at the Miller store for $26.80, the police reported today. The check was made out on a United States Natlonal-Ladd & Bush check of the Physicians and Sur geons Hospital association in favor of John E, Peterson and signed to it was the name of O, A. Anderson, M. D as treasurer and Martin Howard, president. Shortly after cashing the check and giving the man who offered it all cash, Floyd Miller, of the Miller store, became suspicious and called the Physicians and Surgeons Hos pital association to inquire if it was good. He was informed it was not. During the Investigation it was found that the association checks are printed by the Unruh & Knapp firm. Gardner Knapp was called In and recognized the check as one of some samples made for the as sociation prior to printing a new batch of them.
