MISSPELLED WORDS BRMG WORRY Sta te Prin te rFu UyA wa re of Consequences of Mistakes By GORMAN HOGAN Associated Press Writer SALEM 11 Charles E. Unruh runs a million dollar business and worries about misspelled words. He's the Oregon state printer, responsible for turning out, under pressure, the millions of pages of bills which come before the state Legislature every two years. And in the past 44 years, he's found that a misspelled word or a misplaced comma can bring cries of anguish from unhappy legislators, heard from one end of the Capitol building to the other. Yet, considering the size of the job and the speed with which it must be done, causes for com plaint are remarkably few. 2,000 Copies Required Under legislative rules, 2,000 copies of each bill must be in the hands of the lawmakers and legislative assistants by 9- a.m., the day after introduction. This meant printing, proof-reading and binding some 596,000 pages of proposed legislation in one night a few weeks ago, for what may be a new record. The two succeeding nights the total ran nearly that high. Since then Unruh and his staff have had to cope with what is. probably the longest bill ever introduced in the Legis latureone to reform state elec tion practices. The printing office, a section of the Finance and Administration Department, has 67 employes in cluding four extras put on during the legislative session. They work two shifts and stay on the job until the daily stint is completed. Every bill is read twice for typo graphical errors. Many Years on Job Unruh, just turned 60, went to work in the state printing office as an apprentice in 1913, getting $3 a week. "We had a couple of linotypes and a couple of presses. A run of 10,000 copies was considered a big job," he recollects. Today the division does about $75,000 worth of printing in its own plant and lets out another $250,000 worth to commercial plants on bids. Printing for the Legislature is only a small part of the work done by the division. It serves all the state agencies, charging them cost, plus 4 per cent for printing. This keeps the printing office self supporting. Unruh's staff prints millions of sales tickets for state liquor stores, election pamphlets, . tally sheets and poll books, and reports for state agencies, among Us scores of jobs. And when the legislative session is ended, all measures passed into law must be printed and bound, a job not completed until three to six months after the session ends. But during the session "our prime purpose is to give service to the legislators within limita tions," Unruh says. Lawmakers and legislative assistants agree this goal is pretty well achieved. For example, in printing cards for members of the Legislature, Unruh and his aides try to satisfy individual tastes in such things as type face and color of ink. Dooley Likes Green "Most of them take plain black ink," he says, "but Pat Dooley (the Irish speaker of the House) likes green." Unruh's 44-year service with the printing office is typical of the stability of the staff. His superin tendent, Jerry Hansen, has been on the job 32 years. Other mem bers of the staff, including appren tices, have been there an average of 15 years. Unruh, who became state print er in 1952, is a muscular man with the look of the outdoors about him. His years of military service are reflecting in his bear ing. A retired lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve, he served in Iraqi Oil Soon To Flow Again Across Syria DAMASCUS. Syria W The Iraq Petroleum Co. announced Monday it would start pumping Iraqi oil for Western Europe through its sabotaged pipeline across Syria within 48 hours. The company said the amount pumped would be 40 per cent of normal. Suleiman Mudarrcs, chief repre sentative of IPC, said oil would begin flowing through the pipe line to Tripoli, Lebanon, at the same rate toward the weekend. Syrian army units sabotaged tho pipeline pumping stations 127 days ago, when Britain and France launched their invasion of the Suez Canal Zone. Syria would not let the company begin repairs until Israel withdrew her troops from Egypt and the Gaza Strip. both world wars and was a mem ber of the National Guard in be tween. While the Legislature means a lot of work for Unruh and his staff, conditions are better than they used to be and continue to improve. Thanks to the legislative coun sel's office, bills get in earlier. This helps relieve the crush in the closing days of the session. And casing of that crush gives Unruh something to look forward to. ...STEP RIGHT INTO isx ,N style- V L.J I .hV BOYS OXFORD Q lor o easy livm. . . SPECIAL!
