NEW COMMISSIONER
A surprise appointment was
made Saturday when Governor
Douglas McKay named Charles H.
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.

Science has made great strides against TB,
but it still remains one of our greatest problems
in which early detection and treatment are of pri
mary importance. If we do our part, some day TB
will be no more prevalent a disease in this country
than typhoid fever. But the battle to control, pre
vent, and ultimately conquer TB is "not a doctors
affair- it hPloncs to the entire public." Everyone

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.
