The bill, introduced by Rep. Joe Harvey of Portland, would in the opinion of the county fair directors and managers who ap peared at the hearing, sound the death knell to not only many of the county fairs but also to the 4-H and Future Farmer work made possible by the use of the racing funds Allocated to the counties. Rep. Mark Hatfield, chairman of the committee, allowed oppon ents of the measure to tske up the greater portion of Wednes day's hearing because many of them had come long distances to Salem to make an appear ance. Rep. Harvey, author of the bill, denied that his measure was Emergency (Continued from Page 1) "He did a fine job." said Whar ton. "Just tell Taylor how high the river is and he'll tell you what's under it He knows the river better than most people know their own dooryards." Portland General Electric company aald a dozen power poles we; e knocked down by the small tornado that struck south east and east of Sslem early Tuesday, apparently a little sis ter of the bigger one that hit at Corvsllis. Three poles were blown down in the Ankeny Bot tom district, two south of the Pringle school, three on Turner road, one of which burned, and four in the Silverton area.

Salem Memorial hospital fought water in its i basement, but kept it down with designed to do away with pari mutuel betting, contending that he wss merely attempting to place the racing revenues In the 1 general funds just as liquor funds were placed In the gen eral funds several years ago. Rep.4 H. H. Chindgren of Clackamas county, long identi fied with the county fairs of the state, told the committee that two-fifths of the racing funda now go into the general fund and the remainder distributed to county fairs, the state fair, and -other similar organizations. . . "If this bill passes each bene ficiary of the racing funds would be required to appear before the ways and means committee and beg for funds," Chindgren said. "It would be a dog-fight at every session." Herb Walsh of the Lane county fair declared that the people of his county voted to retain part mutuel wagering because they wanted the money therefrom te support the Lane county fair and "keep it as the leading fair on the Pacific Coast" Tony Abds of the Washington county fair said that distribution' of racing funds to his county made it possible to carry oa work with 2,000 4-H and Future Farmer boys. He said that the people in his county put up an additional $20,000 for this work but If the money from racing goes Into the general fund the work would be seriously hurt Another hearing is to De held on the bill when proponents will be given an opportunity to pro sent their arguments.

City crews helped clear them. At the state Cottage farm the gale of Tuesday morning shat tered windows and blew down electric wires. Damage was esti mated at $400. An engineering crew was call ed to the city's sewage disposal plant on North River road where application for a preliminary permit, or to a project to be licensed by the hydroelectric commission. Ano'ther change proposed in the new law would eliminate the provision In the present law which provides that in any proj ect Involving '1,000 or more horsepower no prellmlnsry per mit can be granted until at least six months have elapsed Since the filing of the application for a preliminary permit.. Sponsors of the measure being drafted point out that Inasmuch ss under the new bill the com mission Is required to give con sideration of the public interest before granting a preliminary permit or license, there appears to be no sound reason for a pro vision that would delay any project at least six months. The new bill will also give the licensee the authority to ac quire property needed for a project through condemnation proceedings. The present hydroelectric commission was created by an act of the legislature in 1031. a power outage shut the plant down about 3 a.m. Tuesday. That emergency wasn't directly attri buted to the storm. The trouble lasted about an hour. Among homes that had trou ble were those of Dewey Rand, 1375 Market, and A. D. Ross, 938 Shipping, where basement water overflowed gas heaters, causing destruction of the elec tric motor at the latter place. A basement wall, under water pres sure, collapsed at 2244 North Fourth street Among isolated families were 10 or so on River Bend road. Most of the 110-acre Leonard Kincaid farm was under water, and most neighboring farms were in similar condition. County Engineer Hedda Swart reported two amall slides In South River road Tuesday. Traf fic was not stopped and both had been cleared today. McKay said that in "some cases customers have been hand icapped by the preferential clause. Those served by private utilities and sometimes a cus tomer has no choice should not be penalized by the preferenco clause If there is a shortage of power." ' Grid System Satisfactory He expressed the opinion the "Bonneville grid system" for distribution of power in the Pa cific Northwest in which energy from the Bonneville Power Ad ministration and private com panies Is merged for distribution to load centers has worked sue ceisfully. He aaid such a system might be employed elsewhere to get public power to cooperatives and mumcipaltles. . . v - The new secretary said he was "not going to upset things the first day" in making Job changes.
