Some committee reports will be heard. Among those asked to at tend and take part in the discus sion are representatives of the Salem Realty Board, Chamber of Commerce, Home Builders Associ ation, Marion and Polk County Courts, the Mid-Willamette Valley Planning Council, and professional engineers. PROPOSED ORDINANCE Among provisions of a proposed ordinance drawn by city and county planners after a study of nearly two years are regulation of lot sizes, street locations and construction,, legislation relative to curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drain age, and assessments for parks. The ordinance would be effec tive in the city and for a six-mile radius beyond, and is drawing some opposition from the outlying areas. Applications for two variances will be given public hearings. One is from Englewood Evangelical United Brethren Church which wants to build an addition having a 10-foot front set back. The church is an R-l residential zone, at the northeast corner of 17th and-Nebraska. In this zone front setback lines are normally re quired to be the average in the block. Mr. and Mrs. Don Waller have an application, to be given a hear ing, in which they ask permission to build an addition to a house at 615 Piedmont and use it as a beauty shop. It is an R-l residen tial zone. REPORT PLANNED The committee on plats and sub divisions is expected to report on a proposed annexation of a portion of West Hills Addition, which is on the west side of Candalaria Heights, also on a request for the trom Chelsea Drive in West Sa lem. Secretary of Stale Mark Hat field will have a letter before the commission that a block east of the Public Service Building be re served for a future state car park ing lot. A bill that would have authorized the state to acquire the property for the purpose was killed on the Legislature last week, so the secretary of state's letter may not require consideration. Press Agent (Continued from Page 1) for the union growing out of the Senate hearings. He is being paid $200,000 for his first year's work. Employment of Charnay was an outgrowth of a move by Beck himself. Beck proposed a million-dollar public relations program to op erate in his own behalf. But the union, rebuffing Beck, authorized a lesser program with the explicit understanding that Charnay was to publicize the union and not Beck. At the Capitol, meantime, the staff of the Senate rackets inves tigating committee indicated it will bring Norman Gessert, cou sin of Beck's wife, to Washington soon for testimony.

Willis Wood Services Held Funeral services were held at the Clough-Barrick chapel Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock for Wil lis Allen Wood, Salem youth killed in a Portland aviation accident Sunday. The Rev. George Swift officiated at the service and interment was in Belcrest Memorial park. Wood, 21-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. John R. Wood. 1555 Fifth St., checked the aircraft, a Mooney Mite, out of Salem some two hours before the 5:30 p.m. crash. The plane lost its wings in the air and Wood fell through the roof of a Portland home. The fuselage of the plane landed about two blocks away. Civil Aeronautics Administration officials were investigating the ac cident and Monday collected wreckage and interrogated wit nesses. State Director of Aeronau tics Earl Snyder was invited to Portland by tho CAA Tuesday to examine the wreckage as an "in terested observer". Some accounts of the accident led to the speculation that the Sa lem pilot might have been a victim of vertigo the state where a pilot loses sense of balance in an overcast. There were reports that a light plane had slipped into some overcast prior to the accident. In pulling out of the overcast a pilot may become confused and pull up too sharply, shearing off the wings.

Senate Okays (Continued from Pane 1) By JAMES D. OLSON Capital Journal Writer A 59-page bill clarifying present election laws and giving the secre tary of state statewide control over elections, is expected to be re ported to the Senate floor soon, Sen. Lee Ohmart, chairman of the Senate Elections Committee an nounced Tuesday. Witnesses who appeared before the committee at Its meeting Tues day morning said the House com mittee had spent more than two months on a study of the Dill. PASSAGE PREDICTED Ohmart said that even though the Senate committee had but lit tle time to study the bill he thought it would pass the Senate. In order to obtain uniformity in the conduct of elections held in the various counties of the state, the bill gives the secretary of state power to send "instructions ', to county clerks in the application of the election laws. The county clerks are required, under the terms of the bill, to follow such instructions. The controversial section of the law reauirin? voters to slim two poll books before being allowed to vote is amended in this bill, so sign ing of only one poll book will be required. It was charged by some that the signing of two poll books delayed the election procedures. Pay of election clerks must be not less than $1.00 an hour, under one section of the law. The Senate committee approved section providing that voters who, after moving from a precinct, may return to the former precinct and vote and-also be reregistered. FEAR EXPRESSED Sen. Ohmart expressed fear that requiring the registration of these voters in the election booth would delay voting even more than the signing of two poll books unless county clerks assigned a registrar to the polling booths or designated one clerk to handle the registrations. The section was approved, but the Senate committee deleted a number of sections in the proposed law which would have given county clerks the same power in counties in relations to elections that the secretary of state has on a state wide level. Representatives of the Oregon County Clerks' Association ob jected to these sections saying that many of the clerks did not have the turns. The effect would have been to permit these persons to merely settle for the tax that has been withheld. Pearson objected, killing Musa's motion. . ' personnel or money Jo the budget to carry out the election supervi sion required in the deleted sec tions. All duties relating to Oregon elec ' tions will be carried out by the sec retary of state under the proposed law. At present, some of these du ties are carried out by the Governor. 36 million dollar general fund sur plus is being used up. we can t go on increasing in come taxes again," he concluded. Sen. Ben Musa, The Dalles, a Democrat who has described the choice between the bill and the present law as "a small choice of rotten apples," argued that state expenses should be cut so that taxes can be reduced. He asked for unanimous consent for an amendment that would have exempted salaried persons, with less than $250 a year of out side income, from filing tax re- Tender K I !
