A McKay Gels
Nod for Bill
The house state and federal
affairs committee recommended
nassaee Friday of the senate-
approved bill to relieve John
W. Kelly, secretary of the state
postwar commission, from his
additional duties as secretary
of the Willamette Basin com
mission. Kelly held the extra
job since the start of the war,
when the Willamette project
was dormant.
The action came after State
Sen. Douglas McKay, Salem,
chairman of the Willamette val
ley project committee, asked
for passage, and answered
charges by Sen. Merle Chess
man. Astoria, and some eastern
Oregon legislators that the basin
commission is "a glorified cham-
ber of commerce which should
not be supported by state funds.
Senator McKay said the set
ting up of the commission or
iginally was asked by the army
engineers, and that the bill
would make for smoother oper
ation without costing extra
. money.
Asked to give an instance of
the committee's worth, McKay
said it got the army engineers
to cancel plans for dams on the
y McKenzie and South Santiam
rivers, and to instead build
' dams on the tributaries of these
streams. The McKenzie dam
would have destroyed sports
fishing, and the other one would
have destroyed the town of
Sweet Home. .
"Objection has been made to
the state's spending a few thous
and dollars on this project," Mc
Kay said, "but the state has
spent millions of dollars on ir
rigation projects in eastern Ore
gon. It also spent $411,000 to
relieve the city of Astoria of
, taxes."
War Truck Limits
Made Permanent
Climaxing eight years of effort
by the state s trucking industry
to get permanent increased
length and weight limits on state
: highways, the senate approved
" 28 to 1 Friday and sent to the
governor the bill to make per
manent the wartime limits.
These limits are 60 feet in
length and 72,000 pounds, com
pared with the pre-war limits of
50 feet and 54,000 pounds.
Some senators objected to
considering the bill before the
senate takes up the house-approved
bill to increase truck tax
. M by $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 s
Tyear, but they lost their motion
to delay action by a 21 to 8 vote.
Only vote against the bill was
by Sen. C. H. Zurcher, Enter
prise. Mahoney Resolution
For Labor Peace
: Creation of an interim com-
imittee to recommend to the 1949
legislature methods of making
'employer-employe relations bet
ter was proposed today in a res
olution intoduced by Sen. Thom
as R. Mahoney, Portland.
The resolution says changes
in labor laws should be made
only after long study by the
committee. The committee
would have two senators, three
representatives, six employers
and six representatives of labor.
Linn and Lane Bill
Passed Unanimously
The senate passed unanimous
ly and sent to the house Friday
the bill by the Lane and Linn
(county legislative delegations to
provide for setting up irrigation,
drainage and flood control dis
tricts. ; The bill was drafted to suit
western Oregon conditions, the
sponsors asserting that existing
state laws on the subject are de
signed for eastern Oregon.
. The bill is a substitute for
house bill 188. The new bill
.permits county courts to create
it he districts unless more than
D per cent of the residents ask
for an election.

Fair Practices
Bill Tabled
The fair employment prac
tices bill, which would prevent
the state and its subdivisions
from discriminating for pur
poses of employment against
any person because of race, re
ligion, sex or union member
ship, was tabled 6 to 2 Friday by
the house state and federal af
fairs committee.
The action came after the
committee members disagreed
over several points, including
whether the union membership
clause should stay in, and wheth
er the bill is needed in view of
constitutional guarantees
against discrimination.
The original bill, by Reps,
Lyle J. Thomas, Dallas, and
Frank J. Van Dyke, Ashland
would have prohibited discrim
ination, rather than "discour
age" it. It also did not have the
sex and union membership
clauses in it. The original bill
directed the state department of
education to conduct courses in
schools to discourage prejudice,
but the amended measure now
merely authorizes such courses
The committee recommended
defeat of the original bill, but
this recommendation was with
drawn after protests by Port
land college, church and social
welfare groups.
State Office Act
Signed Info Law
Governor Earl. Snell signed
into law Friday bills increasing
from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 the
maximum cost of the new state
office building in Salem, ap
propriating $41,540 as the state's
share of Pendleton's proposed
sewage disposal plant, and in
creasing salaries of Baker coun
ty officers.
Hunting of Lions
Provided in Bill
Sen. Lew Wallnpp PnrllanH
said today he plans to introduce
a bill to permit hunting of lions
sea lions that is.
Senator Wallace, wlm ic hpnH
Of the spnatf, camo rnmmitoo
said sea lions were destroying a
large number of fish. His- pro
posed bill would not permit
slaughter of the tourist attrac
tion at Sea Lion caves on the
Oregon coast, he said, because
lion hunters would have to bag
their auarrv a mile awav from
the caves.
Convict-Made Plates Urged
The senate state affairs com
mittee today recommended pas
sage of a bill to permit state pris
on convicts to make motor ve
hicle license plates, now manu
factured by a private concern.
