Two of the Oregon Legislature's most controversial bills
apparently ire dead.
The bill to compel banks to close on Saturdays met sudden
death when the Senate Financial Affairs committee voted 5 to
4 to table it. That means the committee wants to let it die.
Harsh Words
Traded About
Fisli Proposal
By HECTOR L. FOX
Associated Press Writer
If someone ever designs a gillnel
through which stcclhcad can pass
but salmon can't, commercial and
sport fishermen will have no quar
rel, hie Senate Natural Resources
Committee was assured Tuesday.
But since that hasn't been ac
complished, fishers for pay and
fishers for pleasure are going to
remain at loggerheads.
Sports and commercial fisher
men exchanged sharp words again
Tuesday on a proposal to make
steelhead a game fish, this taking
them out of the commercial fish
ery, Sayt Value Deprecated
James Cellars, Astoria, execu
tive secretary of the Columbia
River Packers Assn., accused
sporls fishermen of deprecating
the value vf the steelhead catch
in the Columbia River. He said it
comprised a large part of the If)
million dollar annual fishing in
dustry on the Columbia.
He said the bill would kill the
fishing Industry on the river, and
put hundreds of persons out of
work. He accused sportsmen "of
trying to monopolize fishing all
over the state. This is an attempt
to finish off what they have been
doing piecemeal in recent years."
Proponents contended that steel
head are diminishing in the Co
lumbia. Wayne Doughlon, representing
the Salem chapter of the Ir.aak
Walton League, said commercial
fishermen could use nets with
larger mesh to let steelhead pass
through them.
Cellars denied this.
Beth Sides Wrong
Charles Collins, former vice
president of the Oregon Wildlife
Federation, said studies hy his
group indicate plenty of steelhead
are In the Columbia for sports
fishermen. He commented that he
doesp't think either side has a
. ease.
The bill, being cited as con
servation measure, also was sun-
ported by the Bend Uaak Wallon
chapter, Deschutes County Sports
men'i Assn., and the Farmers
Union of Milton-Frcewater.
Cellars cited the closure of most
rivers south of the Columbia to
commercial fishing.
"This Isn't a conservation meas
ure." he argued. "It would set
aside a substantial amount of the
Columbia River fishery for the
sole enjoyment of sporls fisher
men." Commercial fishermen, he con
tinued, can't avoid netting some
sleelles during the salmon runs
because the steelhead are in the
river the year around.
He called the bill the "most
disastrous" legislation ever intro
duced to curb commercial fishing
He also urged the committee to
reject an amendment to submit
the bill to the voters.

tee. Even if It should get out of
committee and be passed by the
Senate, as appears extremely
doubtful, it certainly would be

Killing the bank closure bill was
a victory for the First National

which opposed the bill.

The trading stamp bill, so the

Legislators say their heaviest

and stamp bills.
The Senate Labor and Industries
Committee refused 4 to 3 to rec
ommend passage of the bill to
abolish the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission, and re
place it with a single adminis
trator. But this vote isn't final, as
some of the committee members
said they might change their
minds.
The House Education Commit
tee, which had recommended re
peal of a law which requires the
teaching of morality in the
schools, did a quick about-face.
Leave Law Unchanged
After a deluge of protests from
church and temperance groups,
the committee decided it had bet
ter leave the law unchanged.
Then the, committee went a step
farther and approved a bill to re
quire the teaching of the effect of
alcohol and narcotics in the
schools. Last week, the commit
tee had rejected the bill.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee recommended repeal of the
19M law which makes it impos
sible to collect punitive damages
lor accidental libel.
The committee vole was 6 to 1,
with only Sen. Donald Husband
(111, Eugene, voting to retain the
proscnt law.
However, Sen. Anthony Yturrl
(III, Ontario, said he would seek
some replacement for the law.
The law provides that when libel
is committed accidentally, such as
through a typographical error, the
damaged party can collect only
the actual damages he has suf-
lered. . .

women's institution separate from
the slate prison at a hearing be
fore the House Health and Wel

Warden Clarence T. Gladden of
Oregon slate penitentiary said he

from execution in a dog pound
today is costarred in a movie with
Frank Sinatra, Kim Novak and
Rita Hayworth.
It's Hollywood's greatest Cinder

since Scarlet O'Hara.
Snuffy, a cairn terrier, ate him
self into a $500-a-wcek contract
to costar with the famous trio in
the upcoming movie version of
"Pal Joey."
The script calls for a dog to
play Sinatra's pet and eat the

does.

Frameup Plot
PORTLAND ift The bribe ac-
cusation made against Portland
Mayor Terry Schrunk was a
frameup, a Portland gambler said
Tuesday night.
He is Clifford O. Bennett, for
mer operator ot tne aziz i-iud
here, who flatly refused to testify
at the Senate subcommittee hear
ings on labor racketeering in
Washington recently.
Bennett said he had been threat
ened with a perjury charge if he
did testify.
A copyrighted news story in the
Oregon Journal said that Bennett
had made a 38-page sworn state
ment saying Raymond Clark had
proposed the plan "for framing
Schrunk to keep him from being
elected mayor of Portland."
Later in an interview carried
by Portland television station
KGW-TV, Bennett repeated some
of the details and expanded on
others.

Affidavit Published
Also published by tne Journal
was a photographic copy ot a no
tarized affidavit with the signa
ture "Larry McCormick" in which
McCormick said he had heard
Clark "lay out a plan whereby he
and others were going to frame
Terry Schrunk, at that time sher
iff of Multnomah county, but who
was running for mayor of Port
land." The affidavit said that the meet
ing between darn, MciormicK
and Bennett took place Aug. 8,
1956, at Great Falls, Mont.
Clark, an employe of Portland
racketeer James Elkins, refused
lo comment until he had studied
the documents.
Elkins was one of the star wit
nesses at the Senate hearings on
charges of tieups between certain
Teamster Union officials and vice
activities. Elkins. testified that
Bennett had told him that during
raid he had placed toOO in an
envelope outside his club and that
Schrunk had picked it up.
Several witnesses corroborated
this testimony. But Schrunk stead
fastly denied the accusation.
Bennett said in his television ap
pearance that he had given his .
story alleging a "frameup" to
Robert Kennedy, counsel for the
Senate subcommittee, and had of
fered to back it up with witnesses.
Bennett said Kennedy just laugh
ed at him and threatened him with
a perjury charge if he gave this
version of the incident at the hear
ing. Says Kennedy Laughed
Bennett said his attorney had
advised him that the penalty for
contempt of Congress was less
severe than that for perjury and
he therefore had decided not to
answer the questions put to him
at the hearing. He did not cite
the Fifth Amendment, the consti
tutional guarantee against self
incrimination. Bennett said he now is "telling
his story here today to keep an
innocent man from being framed
by a bunch of perjured testi
mony." In Washington, Kennedy said
that Bennett "never said any of
these things to me."
The counsel also said he was
"not very impressed" by the af
fidavits and that he had never be
fore heard of McCormick.
