You gotta be scientific about these things, you know, says deputy sheriff Herman Doney as he digs out an old counting ma chine and puts it beside his desk. After comment in this colmn about how busy he is answering calls for other courthouse offices on Saturdays and holidays, when those oifices and switchboard are closed, Herman decided to make a count on Friday George W's birthday. Everytime someone asked for another office he pushed the button on the counter. Tne result: nu cans rung up on the counter for someone else, an estimated 25 to 30 calls - on business for the sheriff's of fice and about 35 radio calls. Or broken down statistically, 22(4 calls an hour, 15 of them unnecessary, or one call every 2 minutes, two-thirds of them for someone else. But even at that it wasn't as bad as most holidays, Herman opined. It may be hard to believe after the heavy rains of the last few days but Salem is 30 inches be hind last year s rainlall at this time. Current figure is about 1614 inches as compared to about 46k at the same time a year ago. Of course, we had a slight overdose of the Oregon mist last year and some winter dry spells this year. Yearly average for this date is about 29 inches. Most valley residents are hav ing little sympathy for "Los Angeles" whose cars were washed into the streets by heavy rains last week. Some how seems a little like justice to the desert dwellers and their constant references to "sunny California." ' Tcxans also got a dash of rain last week the heaviest in seven years, it was reported. Which recalls the story of the tourist in Texas who sought to stir up a conversation with an ancient native. Spotting a tiny cloud in the sky, he ventured, "Looks like it might rain." Must have been an Oregonian.) "Hope so," replied the Texan. "Not so much for me as for my grandson here. I ve seen rain.

Legislature Starts 7th Week; 21 Bills Set for Final Action The Oregon Legislature started its seventh week today with 21 bills set for final action and the House Judiciary Committee sched uled to consider a proposal to ban capital punishment. Gov. Robert D. Holmes asked the legislators to prohibit capital punishment in Oregon as "un enlightened and uncivilized" In his naugural address. Nine new bills were Introduced in the House in a heavy work day today including one by Rep. Ole Grubb, Bend 'Democrat, to permit a school district or districts to set up two-year community col leges throughout the state. Heat. Water System Also introuced was legislation appropriating $350,000 to the State Minimum Wage Change Sought To Cover More By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON UFt Secretary of Labor Mitchell Monday pro posed putting an additional 2 Mi million workers under the federal $l-an-hour minimum wage, but he conceded most of them already make that much. Mitchell presented administra tion recommendations for expand ing coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act as the opening wit ness at Senate Labor subcommit tee hearings. The subcommittee already has a series of bills calling for con siderably broader coverage than Mitchell proposed. He said his plan is as far as Congress should go at the present time. The AFL-CIO has urged extending coverage to take in nearly 10 million addition al workers. ' Mitchell proposed extending the $l-an-hour minimum age to some two million emnloyes in retail trade and smaller numbers of workers in the local transit, tele phone, seafaring, hotel, taxicab and construction industries. He called for including all em ployes of firms with 100 or more workers which have an intake across state lines of at least one million dollars in Income mer chandise, materials and supplies. The labor secretary said the administration's recommendations would extend the present mini- mim wage level to about 2V4 million workers in some S.000 entcrorlses. . He did not propose any increase in the minimum, nor did he sug gest that the additional workers to bo covered should come under the law's provision for premium overtime pay. Tho law now covers about 24 million workers, but for one rea son or another, docs not include an additional 20 million workers. Some of the workers not now in cluded are outside the present scope of the interstate commerce clause of the law. Mitchell's plan would expand this clause. The labor secretory said some two million workers in large chain storo organizations and "giant single-unit department stores and other large retail establishments" would be the main groups covered by his plan. He said the administration pro posal also would cover 65,000 employes of city transit systems, REGULAR SALE PRICE 3.15 2.69 ON AMERICA'S ' FINEST JEANS The first time Billy Hi Kid SAF-T-NEE TEX ANS have ever been offered at a Notional Sale Price.
