Sen. Gill Bids
Vice Jury to
Submit Views
Gives Up Idea of Summoning for
Testimony Indicted Officials
After Parley With Judge Redding
By PAUL W.' HARVEY, JR.
Associated Press Writer
Sen. Warren Gill (R), Lebanon, chairman of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, announced Monday he
1 would invite members of the Multnomah County
Grand Jury to testify before his committee on what
recommendations they might have to make about
changes in laws relating to grand juries.
At the same time, Gill said he
has abandoned any ideas of re-
ceiving testimony from persons
who have been or might be
indicted.
The grand jury, in its report
rnaay night, criticized Atty. Gen.
itonerc Y. mormon, who is con
ducting the Multnomah County
vice probe, and suggested that he
be replaced in that probe,
TO SPEAK TO SENATE
Gill made his statement to
reporters, and planned to tell the
same thing to the Senate during
the afternoon.
His statement means that the
committee won't talk to Portland
Mayor Terry Schrunk or further
to Thornton, he indicated.
The Judiciary Committee heard
testimony from Thornton and
Multnomah County Dist. Atty,
William Langley on Friday night.
Gill said he talked Monday
morning to Circuit Judge Charles
W. Redding of Portland, to whom
the grand jury submitted its
report.
."Judge Redding." Gill said
"said he had excused the grand
jury, but that he didn't discharge
It.
"It is not our intention to probe
the vice situation in. Portland, nor
Is it my plan to invite any per
sons who' have been indicted, - to
testify."
IMMUNITY PROVIDED' '
Gill explained that the law pro
vides immunity from prosecution
to any person who talks before a
legislative committee.
"We are fortunate." Gill con
tinued, "that the committee did
not ask. Mr. Langley Friday night
any questions about his own con
duct,
"Judge Redding says he sees
nothing improper with our calling
the grand jury, but he cautioned
that it should not be asked, and
that we should be careful not to
let them volunteer, anything about
their secret proceedings.
"Judge Redding said he felt they
were very conscientious and will
ing to assist the Legislature in
our study of what changes in the
law, if any, should be enacted."

Flash Flood Pours
Through Wenatchee
WENATCHEE, Wash. . Wl A flash flood, spawned by a
sudden, violent summer storm, sent torrents of water stream
ing through Wenatchee and its environs Sunday, causing
Widespread damage. There were no deaths.
An undetermined number ofS
homes were evacuated as the
flood waters surged out of No. 2
Canyon southwest of Wenatchee
shortly before dusk after a thun
der and lightning storm accom
panied by heavy rain, high winds
and hail passed over the area.
Flood waters stood two feet
deep in Wenatchoc's main street
at one time during the flood and
the basements of most business
houses in the city .were flooded.
In West Wenatchee, neighbors
rigged a lifeline of garden hose
and rope by which Mr. and Mrs.
Chuck Morrow and their two chil
dren fought their way to safety
from their home, through which
three fect of water was flowing.
In East Wenatchee, the flood
waters smashed through the rear
door of a drug store and coursed
through the building, breaking out
through a glass window in the
front.
Power was off in Wenatchee for
several hours, and most of the
telephones in the city were put

Shift Asked

A substitute version of the pro
posal which would allow state in
stitutions to be located outside of
Marion county without a vote of
the people, has been introduced in
the Oregon Senate.
The resolution, proposed by the
Senate Committee on State and
Federal Affairs, would enable the
legislature to order any institution
located outside of Marion county
but action would have to be rat
ified by the voters.' The previous
proposal called for outright repeal
of the present constitutional pro
vision which limits the institution
location to the county.
The resolution also provides the
Legislature may "reduce, enlarge
or terminate the use or purpose
of any institution located outside
of Marion county at any time aflcr
10 years from the year of the
general election at which location
outside Marion county was or

the salary plan prepared by the
Civil Service Board be returned
for adjustments, particularly in
the lower salary brackets.
A bill appropriating $4,500,000 to
the State Emergency Board to be

The final salary plan of Civil

State Department of Finance, the
Governor and finally by the Emer

An additional $350,000 was ap
proved to provide for salary ad
justments from time to time in
the next biennium.
The effect of the Civil Service
salary plan would be to eliminate
one to three of the lower steps in
the grade and perhaps one step at
the top. Under this revision less

ployes now receiving less than
$200 a month would start work at

plan.
FURTHER HEARINGS PLANNED
However, the committee was not
entirely satisfied wilh the Civil
Service plan as it relates to the
lower salary grades. The commit
tee requested further hearings by
Civil Service before the final plan
was formulated.
Stale police would get salary in
creases in two steps, the first on
July 1, 1957 and the second on
January 1, 1958. In addition to in
creases in all grades, the state of

month to compensate them for the
extra day worked. State police
work six days a week while most
other stale employes work five.
Two bills, one providing for in
creases for District Attorneys and
the other for increases for about
69 stale officials whose salaries
are set by law, were put over until

Whether it will be based upon a

also had not been decided.
MOTION DIES
Commissioner Roy Bice present
ed a motion early in the delibera
tions suggesting a flat $20 a month
increase, but it died for want of
a ocond. Then ensued discussions
dealing wilh job classifications,
and the possibility of some injus
tices of a flat increase.
The feeling was general, how
ever, that a complete survey of
jobs available under the jurisdic
tion of the Marion County Court
should be made. Judge Rex Hart
Icy said he felt an appropriation
covering the cos' of such a sur
vey would be justified.
Leo Butts, representing those
members of the road department
who arc affiliated with' union la
bor, repeated his request for an
increase of 35 cents an hour.
Butts' proposal would cost the
county $53,1100 a year.
Frank Stone of the Marion
County Employes Assn. advocated
$20 across - the - board increase
pending a reclassification of jobs
survey. Such an increase would
