Salem, Oregon, Monday, 'April 8, 1957 THE CAPITAL' JOURNAL' Sectiorfl PSge;j Party Lines Waver in Tied Senate as Session Goes On By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Political Editor The general idea that the 15 Democrats and 15 Republicans in the Oregon Senate would stand solidly opposed to one another in voting on important Issues is rapidly being dissipated as this legislative session goes on. For example, when the highly controversial repeal of the anti pickcting bill came up for vote two Democrats, Sens. Harry Boi vin of Klamath Falls and Dan Thiol of Astoria, voted with the Republicans. At the same time Republican Sen. Carl Francis voted with the Democrats. The extra Democratic vote of "nay" killed the bill. Then on Thursday, when SJR 9, providing for 31 senators and 61 representatives, came up for vote, three Democrats defected from the line laid down by the Democratic high command. Favor Lt. Governor The Democrats favor a lieuten ant governor and felt this resolu tion would tend to defeat that move. But the resolution was adopted by the votes of the 15 Re publicans plus the affirmative votes of Senate President Boyd Overhulse, and Democratic Sens. Jean Lewis and Harry Boivin. In the House Friday, when the effort was made to bring up the bills for repeal of the surtax, Rep. Joe Rogers, Democrat from Polk county, voted with the Republi cans and Rep. George Layman, Republican from Newbcrg, went along with the Democrats. If legislation approved by the majority members of the House Labor and Industries Committee prevails in the Legislature, Ore gon employers will receive a real jolt in rate increases for work men's compensation. Calls for Increase The program, approved by the Democratic majority of this com mittee, would call for a 20 per cent rate increase to employers of Oregon. This will Include a 1.74 per cent increase for what is listed as "fa tals," covering widows and chil dren. An over-all rate increase of 8.7 per cent on permanent partial ONLY 987 BROUGHT IN Ch illPu ts Damper On Snake Capture By SAUL FELDMAN OKEENE, Okla. HV-This sleepy farm community went back into hibernation today with the snakes. Its annual chance for fame the Rattlesnake Roundup was slightly chilled yesterday by a sudden storm which dropped the temperature to 40 degrees. At that temperature, a self respecting snake won't get out of his den. The total catch for three days was 987, far below the normal 2,500. The longest snake was a 72 incher, one of seven caught in 25 minutes by H. H. Tomlinson of Watonga, Okla. He got $32.50 for It at an auction. The reptiles are sold to zoos and to drug houses for their venom, used in treating snake bites. There were 15,000 persons in this northwest Oklahoma town - of l.loB to hunt snakes, or look ana take pictures. The registration of those wno aciuauy wem numiiig was 527. An estimated 4,000 persons In a thousand cars awarmed into the Gypsum Hills southwest of here while the rest stayed in tovn and looked at the snakes being exhib ited, took carnival rides or ate fried rattlesnake (35 cents a serv-lne). One new member was taken Into the Order of the White Fang, an exclusive organization for those bitten by a rattlesnake, Eldon Martin, 17-year-old Okeene High School student, was struck in the left leg below the knee by one rattler while he was tracking another. His bite was described as serious, with his ankle swelling up three times nor mal size, but doctors said he would recover, A snake worth $100 was marked and released in the hills but no one found it, The going price at the sale of rattlesnakes was 50 cents a pound ine Diggest mess of snakes (92) was brought in by Bill Slover ot White Flat. Tex. Altogether, 1,500 pounds of rat- uesnaKes were sold. disability; a 5.7 per cent boost of temporary total disability; and 3.5 per cent rate increase on permanent total disability. This works but to an overall increase of 19.67 per cent. Not including Friday's business, both houses have passed exactly 100 bills out of 1,134 introduced since the opening of the session. While it is true that a goodly number of bills have been tabled in House and Senate committees, there are still a large number re ceiving serious .consideration. Tax Program Nearly Ready Rep. Clarence Barton, chairman of the House Tax Committee, has announced that the House tax program will be ready in about a week or 10 days. This corresponds to previous estimates that the pro gram will reach the House floor along about April 15. Under this schedule the earliest the Senate could have the tax pro gram, either that of the House, a revised program or an entirely new one would be during the last week in April. Until the tax program, plus ways and means and other im portant legislation has been ap proved by both houses, the Legis lature cannot adjourn. It would look at the moment like the date of-such adjournment may be about May 11.

Sproul to Keynote Pres. Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of California will bo the conference keynoter.
