Restrictions
On Billboards
Being Dratted
Ban Planned by
Senate on All Ore
gon Thoroughfares
By JAMES D. OLSON
Rratrlctlon on billboards
on Oregon throughways and
new highway! is being pro
vided In bill being drafted
for the senate natural re
sources - committee, accord
ing to Sen. Fhll Hitchcock of
Klamath Fairs, chairman.
Sen. Hitchcock told mem
bers of the house highways
committee in a meeting late
Thursday that his committee
had a bill regulating bill
boards on all Oregon hlgh
' ways, but members of his
committee felt that the bill
was faulty and hence a new
, bill is being drafted.
The Klamath Falls senator
declared that he did not be-
lieve that there was sufficient
: time remaining in the present
- session to give proper consid
eration to regulation of all
billboards - on Oregon hlgh
' ways.
. Plan Licensing '
"We are inclined to believe
: that the best method of con-
trolling billboards and ellmln
, ating obnoxious ones, would
be through legislation provid
ing for licensing billboards
and setting up zones in which
' certain types of billboards
' would be either permitted or
disallowed," Sen. Hitchcock
' said.
"I believe that to accom
plish this purpose will take a
careful study which might be
performed by a research coun-
cil that I understand may be
set up by the present legisla
ture." '

Newbry Hits
At Neuberger
' V Secretary of State Earl'T.
i Newbry accused Sen. Richard
, L. Neuberger, Portland dem
ocrat, Thursday of making
"partisan and untruthful poli
tical attacks" on Newbry. .
, In a letter to Neuberger,

ing a long-established custom
; In printing his name on docu
ments. Newbry said that Neuber-
ger asked for samples of all
printed matter on which
Newbry's name appears,
i Newbry wrote Neuberger
that the purpose of the re
i quest "is simply to dramatize
: your purely political inter
I est In this subject."

Dorman's Methods
Governor Paul L. Patterson
Friday promised Investigation
of complaints of a number of
Willamette valley businessmen
on state purchasing methods.
These men, numbering about
30, conferred with the governor
for more than two hours Thurs
day afternoon.
Complaints made against the
purchasing department, a divi
sion of the department of fi
nance and a dminist ration,
ranged from discourtesy on the
part of some employes in the
purchasing depar tmentto
claims that the state is losing
money on unwise purchases.
Transfer of all state purchas
ing to the finance department
from the board of control was
made when the department of
finance was created by the 1951
legislature.
Patterson's Remarks
The governor told the group
no completely new set-up could
be expected to work perfectly
in 20 months and said be fav
ors the basic principal of con
solidatlon of state departments
with the view of saving money.

issue before Public Utilities

pany absorb its extra costs of
steam generation, instead of
allowing it to get the 20 per

The amended motion made
by Sweetland sought to in'

Jelke a suspended sentence.
In the two-count illegal gun

to run consecutively.
County Salary
OK'd by Senate
With only one dissenting
vote the Senate approved a bill
Friday to permit county courts
and commissions to fix sala
ries of county officers.
The salaries now are fixed by
the Legislature.
The Senate passed a similar
bill in 1951, but it died in the
House..
Sen. Rex Ellis, Pendleton, the
lone dissenter, said the bill
would give the county courts
more authority over the sala
ries than the Legislature has.
Ellis argued the bill would
let county judges and commis
sioners to fix their own sala
ries, while the legislators can't
set their own salaries.
Order Probe in
Burgoyne Case
A Douglas county grand
jury will investigate the Feb

D. Burgoyne at his home near
Riddle, Gov. Paul L. Patter
son announced Friday.
Gov. Patterson, after a con
ference with Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton, said
Thornton would submit all of
his findings to the grand jury,
Burgoyne was killed by
Douglas county sheriff s offi
cers who besieged his home
after Burgoyne refused to sub
mit to arrest on a charge of
threatening a neighbor.
The govumor said that
Thornton, who Investigated
the case a few days ago, found
enough facts to warrant a
grand jury investigation.
A group of Riddle citizens
asked Thornton to make the
investigation, charging that
the sheriff's officers used
more force than was neces
sary. They said the officers
fired 1,000 to 2,000 shots into
Burgoyne'a home.

Then he was taken into cus

Frankum of Salem and taken
to the Marion county sheriff's
office to be turned over to
Clackamas county authorities.
In that county he will face
court action under the habitual
criminal act the same charge
under which he had been im
properly held, , according to a
ruling of Marlon County cir
cuit Judge Rex Kimmell.
Judge Kimmell signed Pog

ing that Poggi was convicted
of habitual criminality on his
own . testimony that he had

the state to prove that Poggi

record, Kimmell held.
Shortly after the decision
was announced Thursday, Dis

' Washington,' VP) Joseph
Curran, president of the CIO
Maritime Union, said Friday
the Taft-Hartley Act under
mines the hiring hall system
and fosters the "archiac and
outrageous" practice of em
ploying seamen off the docks
In "shape-ups." 1
fin testimony for the House
Labor Committee, Curran said
the nation's basic labor law
"has operated to destroy the
union hiring hall . . . The most
important single labor rela
tions device ever to be devel
oped in - the maritime indus
try." V ' ...-,:'
The law, he said, would "re
turn seamen to the scandalous
and horrible conditions . . . of
the shape-up." -.-i"
The committee is in the
midst of hearings on proposals

Bowles Admits
New Delhi, India VP) Re
tiring U. S.. Ambassador Ches
ter Bowles ..confirmed - Friday
he had recommended that the
Voice of America not give "ex
cessive treatment" to a n 1 1
communist statements by In
dian leaders. ' '
Bowles said he feared such
emphasis would cause the In
dians to make "balancing'
statements against the United
States as part of their policy
of keeping neutral in the cold
war.. . . ' ''
Two Voice officials in Wash-
lngton Thursday told the Mc
Carthy - Senate subcommittee
investigating the government
radio that Bowles had urged
the Voice "refrain from undue
emphasis on antl-communist I
propaganda." K
The outgoing envoy, who
leaves here Sunday for home,
said he made his suggestion
during a conference last June
12 in Washington with two
Voice representatives and
't'here was no effort on my
part to soften the attack on
communism as such."
"But there was criticism of
the technique used from the
viewpoint of the peculiar situa-
tion existing in India," Bowles
I Mid. :
urea test accord on how to
preserve peace in Europe."
But a Yugoslav source said
Tito will have achieved his
main purpose if .he has' con
vinced British leaders that his
country should receive a great
er share of Britain's limited
supply of arms and aid. Brti-
am already has agreed to give
the Balkan nation 4H million
pounds $12,600,000 in eco
nomic aid for the year ending
in June.
Tito apparently stressed
that Yugoslavia's ability to co
operate in defense of the east
ern Mediterranean is directly
proportional to the help she
can get from Britain and the
United States. He said, his
nation badly needed jet planes

new controversy flared up Fri
day over the nomination !
Charles E. Bohlen as ambassa
dor to Russia,
Sen. McCarran (D.. Nev.)
charged it was "cleared" over
objections from the State De- .
partment security officer but
Secretary Dulles disputed that
McCarran fired his charge
in a senate speech. Dulles told
a news conference later in the
day there are no differences
between him and the security
officer, R. W. Scott McLeod,
over the selection of Bohlen.
Standi Fat for Bohlen
Dulles declared also:
1. He has no intention' of
suggesting that the president
withdraw Bohlen's nomination.
2. That the ease is an acid
test of the orderly processes of
government. In this instance,
he said, Bohlen has been un
animously approved by the sen
ate foreign relations committee
which Dulles described as the
proper body. - , ; . j
The implication of these re- -marks
appeared to be that Dul
les would object strongly to any
attempt by Sen, McCarthy's
senate investigations subcom

appointment. -McCarthy (R,
