House Turns Down Bonus for Korea War Vets
Rejection
Bars Vote
By People
Fight Against $600
Payout Ied by
Veterans
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
Associated Press Writer
The Oregon House of
Representatives defeated
42-17 Thursday a pro
posal to pay a maximum
$600 bonus to veterans of
the Korean War.
Requested by veterans organ
izations, the measure ran afoul of
arguments that the state pouldn't
afford to spend the 14 million dot
lars it would cost. The opponents
also argued that the Korean vet
erans have been well taken care
of.
Called for Referendum
The amendment would have
been referred to Ihe people so that
bonds could have been issued to
finance it. The opponents also ob
jected that the measure contained
no provision for paying off the
bonds.
Before the final vote was taken.
the House voted 36-23 against
sending it back to committee for
probable burial. Opponents knew
they had enough votes to kill it
on the floor.
The debate started Wednesday,
and was continued into Thursday.
Rep. Robert B. Duncan (D),
Medford. reopened the fight
against the measure by saying
"It's high time we broke the
precedent of submitting things
like this to the people. Let's hold
our expenses down where they be
long. , ..,..,....j...
"The same people who would
vote for this at an election would
holler the loudest about taxes."

However, the Parole Board said
there is nothing in the law that
says a man must serve a third of
his sentence before being paroled,
as the governor believes. That
provision was removed from the
law in 1947, the board said.
Jensen was convicted of the
slaying of Mrs. Fern Hile, Med-
ford.
The Parole Board added that
under present law, a man could
be paroled on the day he entered
prison.
Jensen was to have died April

Exact date of the hearings was
not set by the Salem Civil Service
Commission at its meeting Wed

cated that the sessions would be
held during an evening between
April 10 and 20.
Formal complaints, filed by

captain, was accused of construct
ing homes and Peter D. McCaf

voted to do so. If the Senate

More than 1,000 Iranian troops

speculation they might be trying
to escape into Pakistan. I
Reports reaching the capital
from the remote area said the
search force had "found little
pieces of paper thrown away by
Mrs. Carroll as she was forcibly
taken away." The reports said the
hunters found the paper trail
very useful in their pursuit.

to Iranian officials, were Mrs.
