Salary Raise
Proposed for
Legislators
Annual Pay of
$2500 Plus $10 a
Day Expenses Sought
By JAMES D. OLSON
An annual salary of 52500 plus
$10 a day expenses for legislators
while the assembly is in session
is provided in a resolution sched
uled for introduction in the sen
ate early next week.
The resolution to be introduced
by Senator Gene Brown (R
Grants Pass) calls for a constitu
tional amendment to be submitted
to a vote of the people.
Sen. Brown doesn't think le
gislators, at the current rate of
$600 a year and no expenses, are
being paid enough with the. re
sult that many worthy citizens in
the state refuse to run for legis
lative seats.
The subject of pay has always
been a touchy one in the legisla
ture and for years Oregon went
along at $8 a day for a maximum
of 50 davs even when sessions
were regularly running 70, 80
and even 100 days.
In 1951 the legislature submit
ted the S600 a year proposal to
the people and it was approved.
Then in 1953 the lawmakers sub
mitted a proposal which would
give them power to set their own
salaries.
This was turned down by the
voters.
There are two distinct schools
of thought in the legislature on
salaries. One school of thought
contends that only those who can
afford to come to the legislature
without counting the cost should
run.

Two Dead by
Gas Fumes
Two men were found dead
from asphyxiation at a North
Salem motel Friday morning, ap
parently accidentally gassed, city
police reported.
They were identified as Bu
ford E. Conway, 49, and Denzel
Weston, 28, both of Portland.
Officers said the two men were
found in their bed about 10 o'
clock by Edward Gabriel, propri
etor of the Cherry City cottages,
2500 Fairgrounds road, who said
he had noticed lights on all night
in the cabin and no sign of life
during the morning.
Jets on the gas range in the
kitchen were on, officers said,
but there was no indication of
contemplated suicide. Apparently
the jets had been accidentally
turned on or had been turned on
and forgotten before they were
ignited, they said.
City first aidmen said they had
been dead 24 hours or more. The
bodies were taken to the Howell
Edwards Funeral home pending
notification of relatives by Cor
oner Lcston E. Howell.
Chicago Fire
In Tenement
rmrAGO m A raging fire
flashed through a West Side tene
ment and trapped occupants on
upper floors Friday. A deputy
coroner first reported five persons
were lost, then cut the figure to
three.
Three other occupants of the
building were injured, in leaps
from windows when escape by way
of a stairway was cut off by
flames. About 20 other persons
who lived in the building fled
safely to the snow-covered street.
Firemen said all the dead were
trapped on the fourth floor of the
building at 622 Blue Island Ave.
They estimated the three upper
floors of the building were occu
pied by about 30 persons.
Louis Logisios, 50, a restaurant
worker, who lives in a room on
the second floor, told newsmen he
discovered the fire upon arriving
at the building at 6 a.m.

been.

Portland Stale
College Bill
Extension Center
Made Full Univer
sity With Degrees
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
Associated Press Correspondent
The Oregon State Senate vot
ed 24 to 2 Friday to make the
Portland State College independ
ent, with authority to grant de
grees, lhe bill goes to the House.
Portland State now is an exten
sion center of the state division of
higher education, with 2,300 day
students and 3,100 night students
The only opposition votes were
case by Sens. Truman A. Chase
and Donald R. Husband, both of
Eugene, which is the location of th
University of Oregon.
Sen. Rudie Wllhclm Jr., Port
land, author of the bill, asked for
its passage to supply the needs of
Portland students who can t atford
to go out of town to college.
"We need more trained minds
to meet the problems of the
world," he said.
Answering arguments that the
bill might be unconstitutional be
cause no institution can be located
outside of Marion County without
a vote of the people, Wilhclm cited
an attorney general's opinion that
it is constitutional This ruling
held that Portland State is not a
separate institution, but is a
branch of the Board of Higher Ed
ucation. Husband argued that the state
can t afford another institution,
asserting "there's plenty of room
for more students in existing
schools. The quality of the educa
tion would be reduced because the
money would be spread too thinly.'
The Board of Higher Education,
which supports the bill, estimated
that Portland State might grow
larger than either the University
ol Oregon or Oregon State College.

Air Schedules
Regular Again
Salem's United Air Lines
flights, which were disrupted
Thursday with the grounding
temporarily of the company's
Convairs, were all back on sched
ule and flights were being made
by Convairs.
First flight made in here by
the Convairs Friday was south
bound 374, which arrived at 9:45
a.m.
United resumed operations of
its Convair fleet in cities along
the system at 6 a.m. Friday after
a 32-hour voluntary and precau
tionary suspension or all Convair
flights. The suspension followed
an emergeny landing of a Con
vair in Iowa Wednesday after
noon without injury to either the
36 passengers or crew members.
J. A. Herlihy, vice president of
engineering and maintenance for
United, said a thorough investi
gation of the plane revealed the
Iowa accident was due to failure
of a bolted connection of the ele
vated control system. Herlihy
said that government officials
participating in the investigation
concurred in the findings.
The 54 other Convairs in
UAL's fleet were re-checked to
insure all control systems were
in mechanically proper condition
and that there could be no repi
tition of the Iowa accident.
The twin -engine 44-passenger
Convairs of United have flown
almost 34,000,000 miles without a
passenger injury. They serve oHjhad reiuseo uenoeraiciy to an
cities on the company's system.

Living Costs
Reveal Drop
WASHINGTON Ift- Tho gov
ernment reported Friday that low
er food prices in December
brought the nation's living costs
to their lowest level since May
1053.
The report showed prices or liv
ing cost items at the end of the
year 1954 were one-half of one per
cent below the level at the year's
start. It was the first time since
1948 that the government living
cost index had showed an ovcr-the-year
decline.
Substantially lower prices for
eggs, pork chops and poultry led
the December decline.
The index kept by the Labor
Department's Bureau ol Labor
Statistics dropped three-tenths of
one per cent to 114 3 per cent of
the 1917-4K base period average.
While prices declined generally
during 1954, especially since July,
the drop was gradual and mod
erate. December's 114.3 index was
about one per cent below the rec
ord high level of 115.4 in October
1953.

Red Lhina Invites Relatives
Of 17 GIs to Visit Prisoners
U. S. Frowns on
Visits to China
By Gl Relatives
WASHINGTON Ml The State
Department said Friday the gov
ernment cannot "entourage" rela
tives to visit Americans impris
oned in Red China but it refused
to say whether they will be per
mitted to make visits.
A statement issued by press of
ficer Henry Suydam said that Red
China is an area "where the nor
mal protections of an American
passport cannot be offered."
The statement followed an an
noucement through the United Na
tions that the Red regime has
agreed to permit visits by relatives
of the 17 Americans imprisoned
there. The agreement was offered
to Dag Hammarskjold, U. N. Sec
retary general, during his recent
visit to Peipi!? seeking the men s
release.
The United Slates has no diplo
matic relations with the Chinese
Communists and for five years
has enforced a policy of denying
passports for travel there.
Suydam's statement did not,
however, say passports would not
be issued in the present instance.
It criticized the Peiping regime
for not having released the Amer
icans who. in the American view,
should have been freed in the Ko
rean prisoner of war exchanges.
The Chinese Communists have
placed "the families of these im
prisoned Americans in a harrowing
dillema." Suydam said.
He apparently referred to the
fact that the families know they
would have to make any such visits
without the protection that Ameri
can citizenship carries in any coun-

Red China, in a sumrise move
with overtones of propaganda, an
nounced Friday the relatives of 17
Americans jailed there are wel
come to visit the prisoners.
Tho Americans were associated
with U. S. armed forces in the .
United Nations command that
spearheaded the Korean fighting
against Red China.
Tho U. N also announced the
offer, saying it grew out of the
recent Dag Hammarskjold mis
sion to Pciping. The U. N. secre
tary general sought to free Amer
ican prisoners held in China.
Most of the relatives interviewed '
immediately after the announce
ment said they were undecided or '
did not intend to accept the invi

of a jet ace said they will leave
as soon as arrangements can be
made.

Names of the imprisoned Ameri

strong belief the Red Chinese held
