Industrial development in Ore gon is now contributing to a better life and will do so more and more in the future. The state is facing a very bright period in industrial development, he predicted. . Much of the future lies with the type of persons we develop," Dr. Strand said. He listed the three types as those led and bound by tradition, those direcled by what others think and do and who feel they must conform and those who are di rected by an inner drive that leads them forward.

Other federal agencies in the bills that will be introduced and I don.'t want them to come in a big pile." Rep. W. W. Chadwick said that more than 700 requests for draft ing of bills had been filed with the legislative counsel and the Speaker said he would confer with Sam Haley, the legislative counsel, ascertain the situation in th'.c office and make a report to to the House. Speaker Geary declared that he wanted as few executive ses sions as possible. "You will find that you will receive far less criticism if you have open meetings and give the people an opportunity to hear what is going on," he said. "I necessary, table it right away and don t let bills pile up in your committees." Geary said that in holding hear ings all people wishing to be heard should be given opportun ity to speak, but it would be well to ascertain how long each per son wished to speak and limit the talk. Rep. Loran L. (Stub) Stewart, suggested that much legislative time could be saved if commit tees of both Houses sat in on im portant hearings. Rep. Loran L.

Use of members of the Oregon Bar committee in conducting re search work on bills requested by legislative members was sug gested by Rep. George Layman, chairman of the House judiciary committee. This group of attor neys who donate their time to assist the legislators, Layman said, were not busy now and would be glad to handle the re search work and prepare memor anda for the legislative coun sel's office, thus saving the lat ter office much time in prepara tion of bills. As a -final rejoinder at the Speaker's meeting, Geary told the committee chairman: "After you have hald hearings and given full consideration to bills in your committee, don't drag your feet. Get the bills down to the floor for consideration of the House members."
