House Turns
Down Urban
Renewal Bill
By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR.
Associated Press Writer
Legislation to give cities broad authority to carry on urban
redevelopment projects went down to defeat Tuesday in Ore
gon's House of Representatives.
The vote was 42-17, with opponents objecting to the unlim
ited power it would give to issue bonds and undermine zoning
tlandards. The bill would have extended the cities' power to
do away with blighted areas to 10 miles out of town.
The Senate Labor and Industries Committee, obeying instruc
tions from Hie Senate, voted to
Vote Controls
Shift Rejected
By Committee
The House Elections Committee
voted Tuesday night to permit the
secretary of state to continue to
supervise elections.
The committee turned down
proposals lhat the supervision be
placed in tne nands 01 an inde
pendent officer who would be ap
pointed by the governor or the
Board of Control.
The action came during a re
view of the 160-page election re
form bill.
Another action of the committee
was to accept amendments by the
county clerks .that would remove
a provision that the secretary of
slate would have power to make
rules and regulations that would
be binding upon the county clerks.
However, these amendments
permit the secretary of state to
Issue Instructions to the county
clerks.
The committee ' also deleted
from the bill a section which
would create a state board of
elections, consisting of Ihc gov
ernor, treasurer, attorney general
and labor commissioner. This
board would handle appeals from
decisions of the secctary of slate.
By this action, the committee
decided to permit appeals to the
circuit courts.
The committee also deleted a
provision that county clerks must
mail sample ballots to every
voter. Instead, the committee de
cided that the sample ballots
should be advertised in news
papers. The bill was prepared by an
Interim committco which studied
the election laws. It represents
the first attempt in more than 40
years to give the laws an over

same commission now runs both
agencies.
. Senate Voted 15-15
This committee had voled to
provide a single administrator for
unemployment compensation, Din
the Senate beat the proposal, 15-
15. Then the Senate sent tne Dill
back to committee with instruc
tions. The House completed legislative
action on a bill to provide educa
tional benefits to service men
who served in the United States
during Ihc Korean War. The bene
fits now uro limited to veterans
who actually went to Korea.
The measure ulso gives benefits
to those who served three
months, the present requirement
being six months of service.
A memorial asking congress to
provide pensions for needy veter
ans ot world war 1 was approved
27-3 by the Senate. It already had
been passed by the House. '
Hospital Cash Voted
Planning of the second phase
of the F. II. Dammasch State
Hospital, on which construction
will start this summer, was as
sured by a House bill passed by
(he Senate. It appropriates $170,
000. The hospital will cost 15 mil
lion dollars and will serve 1,500
patients. ' ,
The House Taxation Committee
resumes work Wednesday on its
main job of preparing an income
tax bill. It will spend the next
few days talking over several
ideas.
On Tuesday, it heard Republi
can proposals for a sales tax and
to reduce the personal exemp
tions, but they have no chance.
The Democratic majority seems
determined to repeal the 45 per
cent surtax, boost the $500 exemp
tions back to $1100, withhold vir
tually all taxes from income, and
revise the rales.
The net cflect ot all this would
be to raise the same amount n(
money as now is, being collected
by the state.

Mushrooming chemical vapors
from fire ignited by the blast
drifted over this highly industrial
ized valley, bringing watery eyes
and sore throats to scores of resi
dents. No serious effects from the
fumes, however, were reported.
Cause of the explosion at the
sprawling Monsanto Chemical Co. i
plant has not been established. Un-
official opinions placed the prob-;
able cause on a chtorinator, a
sealed vessel containing liquid
chlorine. I

Snub Hearing
WASHINGTON un - Teamsters
Union moves to delay or talk
their way out of a showdown on
AFL-CIO corruption charges
seemed likely today to run into a
solid rebuff from the federation.
Sources in the parent federation
said trial procedures already set
for Dave Beck, Teamsters Union
president; and the huge trucking
union itself are fair and "leave
no room for negotiation."
AFL-CIO President George
Meany was out of the city and not
immediately available for com
ment. The embattled Teamsters' Exec
utive Board, meeting in Galves
ton, Tex., yesterday, asked the
AFL-CIO for negotiations as to
charges against Beck and a bill
of particulars as to charges that
the union itself is under corrupt
domination. The board, contending
tne charges were not specific,
said it would attend no hearings
until fundamentals of fair adju
dication" are assured.
Boiled down, the attitude of
President Meany and other chiefs
of the big labor combine seems
to be this: either the Teamsters
rid themselves of Beck and other
leaders whose actions have been
criticized, or the union is going to
be kicked out of the federation.
The Teamsters' board, acting
unanimously, appeared to give
Beck solid backing in his fight
with the AFL-CIO. It said his
"suspension was without authority
and the filing of charges. was con
trary" to the AFL-CIO constitu
tion. It said the findings against
the union also were made without
authority.

Norton Appointment
To Game Job Illegal
PORTLND (UP) Marcus E.
Norton of Phoenix may serve a
record short term on the Oregon
Game Commission,
Staff members conversant with
the state game code pointed out
today that Norton's appointment
by Gov. ' Robert Holmes Tuesday
was probably illegal because of a
requirement for wide geographical
representation on the commission.
The code requires two members
to be appointed from east of the
Cascades and two from west of
the divide, with a fifth serving the
state at large.
Norton was appointed to suc
ceed the late Elmer H. Balsigcr'
of Klamath Falls but the appoint
ment gave the bulk of commission
seats to western Oregonians.
Other members are J. H. Van
Winkle of Oregon City; Don M,
Mitchell of Taft, .Delbert Gilder
sieeve of Baker, and Kenneth
Denman of Medford.
Gov. Holmes commented that
he would take up the appointment
