Constitutionality Debated
Opposing the bill Senator
Holmes of Clatsop county
branded the bill as discrim
inatory and questioned its con
stitutionality in that the bill
provides that while the records
are made public they cannot
be published, which he said
was an abridgement of the
free press.
"I think we have thought
too much about the dollar
sign and given too little
thought to the unfortunate
people,", he said.

Hay Fever Bill
Passes Senate
Hay fever sufferers got some
help from the Oregon Senate
Saturday as it passed 22 to 3
a bill intended-1 to" wipe out
ragweed, a chief cause of the
ailment. The. bill goes to the
House. ,
The bill would let the De
partment of Agriculture order
landowners to remove rag
weed from their property. If
the landowner refused then
the department would do the
job and send the landowner
the bill.
The bill' author, Sen. Ben
Day, Gold Hill, said ragweed
first was found in Oregon four
years ago, and that if action
is taken now, it can be wiped
out fairly easily.
Sen. Dean H. Walker, Inde
pendence, opposed the bilk He
said that in many cases, it
would cost landowners more to
remove the weed than their
land is worth.
Vole Machines
OK'd by Senate
A bill to allow counties to
use voting machines at elec
tions was passed by the Sen
ate Saturday. It goes back to
the House for consideration of
Senate amendment.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger,
Portland, chairman of the Sen
ate Elections Committee, said
that Multnomah and Lane coun
ties probably would be the only
counties to use the machines,
because they have the worst
vote-counting problem.
Rep. Earl Hill, Cushman,
Lane county, introduced the
bill.
As the House passed it, the
bill would have allowed each
voter two minutes to cast his
ballot. The Senate amended it
to five minutes. N

Morrow Plans
New Highway
Heppner VP) The Morrow
county court is considering
putting in a new five-mile high
way intended to make the Pat
erson Ferry across the Colum
bia river more accessible from
Highway 30.
If built, it would line Mor
row county up with those who
want to keep the ferry in oper
ation. Umatilla county, which
is going to bridge the Colum
bia river farther up stream,
wants to buy the ferry and halt
its operation when the bridge
is completed.
Frank Hogue, Peterson Fer
ry operator, asked the court
this week to build the new
road, connecting Highway 730
with Highway 30 to make a di
rect line to the ferry road. The
court said it would -think the
matter over and if it decided
for the road, it might be able
to start it in the coming win
ter. .,. -..
" The Heppner-Morrow Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce and
the Irrigon Grange have asked
that the ferry be continued.

Prob Results
Washington tfV-The Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation
has discovered "some indica
tions of disloyalty" in the
cases of 25,748. actual or po
tential federal employes since
1947, the house appropria
tions committee disclosed Sat
urday. Partial figures showed that
444 employes were removed

by loyalty boards in their
agencies, and 5,187 quit be
fore their cases were disposed

ly operated today than they
have been at any previous
time."

was started in 1947, Hoover
said, the FBI processed 4,644,
426 loyalty forms of federal
employes or Job applicants. In

legislators Hope To
Adjourn In 2 Weeks
By PAUL W.
(AuoclftlM Preu
Facing a big job of work,
Oregon's legislators are still
hoping they can go home in
two weeks. But doubts that
they will finish by that time
are increasing daily.
House Speaker R u d 1 e Wll-
helm Jr. says the lawmakers
definitely can finish in two
weeks. But Senate President
Eugene E. Marsh has his doubts.
If the Legislature runs two
weeks or longer, it would be
the second largest in history.
The longest was the 116-day
session of 1951, and an end in
two weeks would make it 97
days.
2 Major Bills In Week Passed
During this week, the Legis
lature completed work on only
two major pieces of legislation.

Airliners to Fly
Over 600 m.p.h.
El Segundo, Calif. VP) Air
liners flying 600 miles an hour

twice the speed of sound are
foreseen by an aeronautical
engineer.

Twice that speed Is about
the limit of the jet engine,

ed the ram jet engine has lim
itations well above three times
