? Legislation t o compel
-.. banks to close Saturdays
' was killed 21 to 8 Friday
fyy the Oregon Senate.
x The action, following an
hour's debate, was on the Senate
Financial Affairs Committee's 6-3
recommendation that the. bill be
defeated.
r Supporters argued that bank
employes deserve to have Satur
days off, but the opponents said
it would inconvenience customers
and be an unwarranted interfer
ence with the bank business.
. -.' The bill probably has been the
most hotly controversial item be-
, iore the Legislature, judging from
the mail the lawmakers have re-
' ceived.
First National Fought It
The First National Bank of Port
land, the state's largest banking
' chain, stood alone among the
-, banks in fighting the bill. On the
; other side were the U. S. National
Bank of Portland and the inde
; pendent banks, as well as the
? bank employes association,
j, Opening the debate, Sen. An-
drew J. Naterlin (D), Newport,
! supported the bill, accusing First
National of "trying to tell every
body else what to do."
He said that the committee re
; fused the proponents' offer of
amendments that would limit the
Saturday closure to two years, or
lust to the summer months.
Sen. Howard C. Belton (R), Can-
by, chairman of the committee,
said the amendments would be
lust a "foot in the door." .
"This hill," Belton" said, "strikes
at the very heart of the purposes
of government."
He pointed out that present law
lets banks close on Saturdays if
they wish.
No Business In Session
Belton continued that "you can't
tell the First National that it can t
do business on Saturdays because
the U. S. National doesn't want
it to. This restrictive legislation
. has no business in the Legisla
ture.
Sen. R. F. Chapman (R), Coos
Bay, supporting the bill, said that
"small banks can't afford to do
business on Saturdays so they
have to sell out to the big chains.
We can't let the First National
i dictate the rules and regulations
of the state of Oregon.
Sen. Walter J. Pearson D),
Portland, suggested that the leg

Previously the House passed a

This money can be used for pur

merce. erty owners in the mall area be
tween Union and "D" street were
unable to sell their property, and
because of zoning restrictions
could not convert property into
business channels.
Designating the area between
Union and "D" street as "No
Man's Land," Rep. Duncan said
he was first opposed to the bill,
but after hearing testimony be
fore the Ways and Means commit
tee he had decided to support the
extension.
"Marble Palaces" Opposed
"I don't want to sec a series of
marble palaces built the entire
length of the streets in the mall
area, but in fairness to the prop
erty owners in the extended area
I think this Legislature should
pass this bill," he said.
Rep. Grace Peck told the assem
bly that she had lived in homes
between Union and "D" streets
and knew personally of the plight
of the home owners in that area.
"The seal of doom has been
placed on these homes by designa

The U.S. position was laid be
fore the U.N. Security Council by
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
who said the plan announced by
the Egyptian government earlier
this week left much to be desired.
Lodge announced that, pending
final settlement, U.S. vessels

terway last July.

said it provides no guarantees on

tees for the cooperation of Egypt

for improvement of the canal.

A Harvard seismologist said,
however, he believed the quake

Prof. L. Don Leet at the Har

indicated the quake originated in

about 100 miles distant.
He said he was inclined to dis
agree with Father Llnchan's opin
ion that it occurred under the sea.
He said his preliminary evidence
caused him to conclude it oc

that New England is entering a

Albam, 64, was the third mem

The only way to make the Suez
plan binding, he said, is for the

"Only In this way," he said,

The U.S. delegate said the
Egyptian plan, set forth in a
memorandum to the U.N., falls
short of the six requirements
adopted by the Security Council
last October 13 as a basis for a

He noted especially the lack of

Secretary George M. Humphrey
hinted strongly today that he in
tends to resign soon from Presi

Rumors of Humphrey's possible
resignation have been increasing
since shortly after the first of the
year when he invited Congress to
make drastic cuts in the Presi
dent's $71,800,000,000 budget for
fiscal 1958.
Previously, Humphrey has de
nied such reports or remained
silent.
Today he Issued a statement to
answer published reports that he
will become president of the Na

It is wen known, he said,
"that I have been in the Cabinet
much longer than I originally
planned. But as long as 1 am
secretary of the treasury, I will
have no other interest.
"When the time comes for my
resignation, it will be presented
first to tho President."
The secretary's aides interpreted
the statement for newsmen to
mean that Humphrey expects to
quit his government post "in the
not too distant future.
Humphery's statement was Ihc
