Controversial Labor
Bill Wins Approval
Of Chief Executive
By JAMES D. OLSON
Governor Paul L. Patterson
Thursday signed Honae BUI
661 the labor bill providing
lor outlawing orranliational
picketing. ' The bill waa a
aabatltnte for a much stronger
bill Introduced earlier In the
session and which brought
about the aeasion'a biff est con
troversy.' "While this bill is not the
solution to the problem (organ
izational picketing)" the gov
ernor said in his statement, it
was one adopted by & substan
tial majority of the legislature,
fetter weeks of public hearings
and debates, except as to one
section which the senate refus
ed to delete by a tie vote on
the last day of the session.
Bill Bitterly Foufht
The fight in the senate re
ferred to by the governor re
lated to the ban on organiza
tional picketing which the la
bor leaders of both houses at
tempted to delete from the bill.
The governor said he had de
layed acting on the bill be
cause he wanted to give all
parties a right to present their
viewa on the matter and also
wanted to obtain an opinion on
the constitutionality of the
bill from the attorney general.
Constitutionality Upheld
This opinion was delivered
late Wednesday by Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton
who held that the bill was con
stitutional and that it embodies
the same language as that con
tained in the Taft-Hartley low.
'House Bill 663 has aa its
announced purpose the pre
venting of organizational pick
eting," the governor said. "The
proponent say that all of its
feature are necessary to ac
complish this purpose. The
opponents say It goes far be
yond this goal. - j-.- .' .-.
(Concluded aa Pag , Cataaui t)
Leases Made
Not Affected
Attorney General Robert Y,
Thornton's opinion that it's
wrong public policy for a state
official to lease property to the
state won't affect leases al
ready in existence, unless
somebody starts and wins a
suit.
The opinion advised State
Finance Director Harry S. Dor
man that the Stale Tax Com
mission shouldn't lease a build'
ing in North Bend owned by
Sen. Rex Ellis, Pendleton.
Ellis, however, already owns
property in Hillsboro, North
Bend, Grants Pass, Ontario,
Gresham and Hood River that
is leased to Secretary of State
Earl T. Newbry. And State
Rep. Alva Goodrich, Bend,
owns a building in Bend that
is leased to Newbry.
All of these buildings are
used to house branch offices of
the secretary of state and other
departments.
Newbry is expected to con
tinue leasing these properties
from Ellis and Goodrich. An
attorney general's opinion isn't
binding. It's the same as legal
advice from any lawyer.

3 More Vetoes
By Governor
Gov. Paul Patterson complet
ed action Thursday on legisla
tive bills by vetoing three of
them.
He vetoed these bills: Senate
Bill 443, which would permit
the Teal Irrigation District in
Umatilla County to be dissolv
ed. House Bill 470, which would
require elections before hous
ing projects could be con
structed. House BUI 331, to require the
Highway Commission to re
move logs and debris from
streams where they cross ocean
beaches.
With these three vetoes, the
governor cleared his desk of all
bills passed by the Legislature.
The governor said he vetoed
the Teal Irrigation District bill
because it might be unconstitu
tional Inasmuch as it applies
only to one distilct, and that it
"establishes the very danger
ous principle of the state dis
solving municipal corporations."

Comparing It with the pow-

"Opposed to this, across a

Their power means the threat
of war. It is that stark and
simple, because the ultimate
aims of the free and slave
worlds differ so radically."
He declared that the instant

capitalistic countries are not!
