Heltzel public utilities commis sioner to succeed George H. Flagg who resigned. On Monday the 37-year-old Salem attorney moved into the commissioner's office in the new $2,000,000 public service building that he had never dreamed of occupying. The appointment was a neatly accomplished surprise by the governor. Flagg, who is approaching state retirement age, will take a posi tion as council and publicity di rector for the Oregon Highway Council at a salary reported to be $15,000 a year. The salary of the public utilities commissioner is $8,800 a year. Flagg's appoint ive term had seven more months to run. Under the head of unfinished business Flaec left two Important cases, one the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company s appli cation for a $5,000,000 a-year rate increase and the other the truck ing industries' application for a six percent freight rate increase. It is understood that Flagg's first Job with the OHC will be to try and repeal the 1951 truck law boosting truck taxes about $2, 000,000 a year. The measure will be on the November ballot in 1952.

If we do our part, some day TB will be no more prevalent a disease in this country than typhoid fever.

FORGED CHECK VICTIMS LUbt The state supreme court this week held that the person wno cashes a forged bank draft has no interest in anything purcnasea with money received by the per petrator. In 1947 a man, witn a forged draft on a New York bank, bought a car from a Portland Motor company, and got the car and $262 in change. The next day he sold the car for $2,200. After the draft was found to be worthless the firm that cashed it sued the company that boutrht the car to recover and won the suit in the circuit court. In an antral to the state su preme court the judgment of the circuit court was reversed this week by Justice Harold J. Warner. UNEMPLOYMENT LOW Although about 10,000 workers were laid off during the past month in Oregon, the unemploy ment lists are almost 2,000 lower than at this date in 1950. This state is doing better than holding its own in employment Oregon seems to be discriminated against in defense work and many labor ers have left the state to get this work in other localities. In Portland there are 8,330 per sons unemployed compared with 10,400 mid-December last year. All 3G of Oregon counties with one exception reported higher payrolls during the first half of 1951 as compared with the first half of last year. NEW CANDIDATES "Governor Warren has an ex cellent record and his character is hnvnrwl renroarh"- said Paul F. Myfinger, Pendleton, when filing with the state elections depart ment this week for delegate from the state-at-large to the republi can national convention. Also filing for the same post this week was Ken G. Thompson, Salem attorney. He was defeated for the senate in Marion county at the last state election when his slogan was, "Keep Oregon Green but not too green." Word comes from LaGrande that Mrs. Kathryn Pierce will be a candidate for the senate or the house of the 1953 legislature she reserves a woman's prerogative to change her mind. Mrs. Pierce is a daughter-in-law of former Gov. Walter Pierce and a sister-in-law of Associate Justice William O. Douglas of the U. S. supreme court. . o NEED Letterheads, Phone 882 CO.

Last year, the contract called for a minimum payment and the contract had sliding scale provi sions dependent upon the amount of rainfall produced. Beaumont's conclusions were drawn as a result of checking rainfall within the target area and comparing it with precipita tion at check points outside. . Ex pressing an opinion that one vear's check was not' enough, Beaumont pointed out that higher than normal rainfall occurred throughout the target as well as "control" area.
