HARVEY JR. Associated Press Writer Organized labor's bills to increase , state industrial accident benefits seemed assured Tuesday of a p -proval by the Oregon House of Representatives. The House, voting on party lines, voted to accept the recom mendation by the majority of the House Labor and Industries Com mittee that the bills he passed. The minority recommended that they be defeated. Both measures were to be placed on final passage at some later time. Argue Justification Democrats argued that tho in crease is justified by higher living costs. But the Republicans count ered that while benefits have been increased 126 per cent since 1942, prices have gone up only 50 per cent. The vote on the bill to increase permanent partial disability bene fits was 40 to 20. The vote was 37-22 on the bill to increase permanent total and temporary total benefits. Similar increases are provided in another bill increasing burial allowances and benefits for wid ows of deceased workmen; The bills were submitted by the state AFL-CIO Labor Council. This same group also has recom- mended increased unemployment compensation benefits, and the Senate Labor and Industries Com mittee hopes to act on these this week. Road Bond Vote Delayed The Senate was to have voted I Tuesday on a bill to issue $12, 600,000 worth of bonds for 10 years to complete modernization of the Oregon Coast Highway in Curry County. But the bill had to go back to committee because the Highway Commission said it would be unable to pay off the bonds in 10 years. Nominated Eugene Beats Salertf as 2nd City of State PORTLAND (UP) The official 1957 population of Portland is 412,000, compared to 409,420 just a year ago. And for the first time in recent history, Salem has been nudged out of its place as second largest city in the state by Eugene which now has 167- more people than Salem. The statistics were released to day by the State Census Board. Since the state census is conduct ed in cities for the purpose ot ad justing liquor and highway fund allocations, a state population to tal is not reached. There are no ligures for rural areas. Deane L. Huxtable, executive secretary of the census board, said Eugene p o p ul a t i o n now stands at 46,480 persons while Sa lem has 46,313. Huxtable said Portland had re corded a 10.3 per cent increase from the 373.628 persons counted it. the 1950 federal census.

There will be no real safety in the world until there is dis armament," he said, "but I think most of us agree that nuclear re armament by itself would be disastrous." Shouts of, "No," from Laborite benches threw the House into an uproar as the defense minister declared: "Nuclear disarmament by itself would be disastrous since it would give decisive superiority to Rus sia, which will always be able to maintain larger conventional forces." The House debate ranged over fields already long under discus sion in London in the U.N. Dis armament subcommittee. A U.S. plan for halting the pro duction of nuclear materials for weapons has received the support of Britain and France in that five- nation group. Canada presumably favors it. The Soviet Union, which rounds out the subcommittee, still wants to know more about the plan However,' French delegate Jules Moch told the Foreign Press Assn., here Tuesday a limited agreement is probable on the American proposal and three other matters: Ceilings to be placed on the armed forces of the major powers at an agreed time; limitation of nuclear test explo sions; and creation of a control and inspection system. rary First open discussion of a lax program lor the next two years was held by the House Taxation Committee here today with Chair man Clarence Barton asking Re publican members ot the commit tee for their ideas'.

Lawyers Join Strategy Talks GALVESTON, Texas (AP) Dave Beck and his Teamsters Union Execu tive Board called in five abor attorneys Tuesday 93 minutes after beginning a cru cial closed-door strategy .conference. Observers interpreted appear ance of the attorneys at the pent house suite of the Gnlvcz Hotel as meaning the executives of the embattled union were discussing corruption charges brought against Beck by tho AFL-CIO. Beck's strategy reportedly is to boycott a May 6 hearing called by tho AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Committee. Other Teamsters offi cials, however, reportedly lear such action would result in sus pension of the union from the AFL-CIO. Beck's presidency also may bo at stake. Beck, accused of misusing $320, 000 of union funds he paid it back, he says declared Monday nieht he would "blow the lid right off the Senate" if he told what hanncned to some union money. Five labor attorneys stood by as Beck and the 11 board mem bers present began their parley shortly alter 10 a.m. in tne pent house suite of the Galvcz Hotel.

Board Interviews 6 For Fair Chief Post ducer was the sales tax. Giesy said a sales tax to raise some 15 to 20 million dollars com bined with lowering of exemptions on the personal income tax to raise another 10 million would help make up for the 30 million dollar surplus that will be spent during the next bicnmum Whether a sales or an increased income tax becomes the corner stone of the tax program, Giesy said the tax base would have to be broadened. He said he couldn't favor a program that would elimi nate any taxpayers. "Low income groups will have to help pay for overall state serv ices," he said. Both Republican representatives said they wanted some property tax relief on the local level. Bristol said one of his main con cerns was getting industry to the state and that industrial leaders he had talked to favored the sales tax. Giesy agreed with Barton that a sales tax. if it were introduced, would likely be increased in the future to raise more money. Democrats on the committee have favored increasing income taxes rather than applying a sales tax which they believe to be un popular with the people. $404,200 Low Bid On Siuslaw Jetty PORTLAND 11 The George Chicha Co., Spokane, Monday sub mitted the apparent low bid of $404,200 for jetty repair at the mouth of the Siuslaw River near Florence.
