residing in the Pudding river bot
toms south of Mt, Angel appeared
before the county court today ask
lng for a relocation and straight
ening of the road through the bot

They stated that the road has a
number of bad curves and blind
corners, that It Is dangerous to traf
fic, that several cars have gone Into

property owners would furnish ne
cessary right-of-way they might
consider It for recommendation as
a WPA project although made no
definite commitment until they as
certain what may be done as to
right-of-way matters and what they

clock, William Krier, 19-year old
youth charged with assisting In bur
glarizing of Newman's Army store

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.

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.

at large, the latter from
the up
state.
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(

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

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

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

bility list, who presumably will take
Pierce's place.

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.

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.
Knapp recalled that a man had
come to the printing shop yesterday
and said he wanted to place an or
der for 15,000 checks for a dairy
concern at Marshfleld.
That more than one sample check
may have been stolen Is Indicated
by a report that other checks were
passed In the city.
