Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, April 18, 1957 Page 3 SLANTS FROM THE SESSION By Mrs. C. A. Tom It is not only the elected offi cials of the legislature who find themselves subjected to propa ganda from pressure groups. Women's groups often approach a member's wife first when pre senting arguments for their pet projects. Lobbyists and private citizens occasionally try to enlist the aid of a wife in furthering their legis lative causes. All of this is quite legitimate and sometimes even flattering, but it does complicate the job. Some days is a major project just to escape to a type writer to take a stab at catching up with the correspondence. Last week another wife and myself were interviewed on the radio about our Impressions of the legislature and the press conference we bad held with the Governor. Three days later we each received a letter from a lady who had heard the broadcast and was glad to hear that "legis lator's wives are actively inter ested in the legislation." She went on to say, "My Husband has assigned me the task of lining up you girls" in favor of a bill he was pushing. The bill has already been tab led in a House committee, and she wants us to do a little lob bying to get it off the table. She aiso seni us copy to send our for Basic School Support DistritJu tion, and the Basic School Sup port increase. The Key District bill, as you may remember, pas sed the Senate with a 17 to 13 vote. Many people felt at the time that the Basic School Sup port increase should have been passed first, since passage of Key District without sufficient in crease in Basic will create a serious situation in Portland and much of Eastern Oregon, esoeci ally those farm communities that have a high valuation of pro perty per child. There Is a group in the House who want to push the Key Dis trict plan through in order to force the legislature to provide the full $40 increase in Basic, bringing it up to $120 per census child. It is quite certain, how ever, that the bill will be am ended in the House Education comittee, because it is now evi dent that the Ways and Means committee Is only going to ap prove a $10 increase in Basic School Support. In addition to the $10 increase in Basic, $5,000,000 will probably be appropriated for school build ing construction for ' distressed school districts. Original plans had been to take it out of the Basic School Support Fund, but now it will probably be amended to come out of the general fund. Education groups are going to be deeply disappointed if they fail to receive the full $120 in Basic School Support. This was Lexington News Mrs. Dean Hunt and Miss Cherry Grey were visitors in Kennewick, Richland and Pasco on Friday.

The economists expect Oregon barley and oats prices next fall I to be around $3 to $2.50 a ton lower than last fall. Main rea- jsons for the expected price drop are continued large supplies of local and national supplies of feed grains, prospects for large plantings agin this year, and lower government support rates. Barring last minute changes, the economists state, support prices for all 1957-crop feed grains will be under last year. National average supports are now listed at $3.33 a ton lower than last year for barley and $3.12 less for oats. Corn supports are now $5 a ton and hay is likely to be cheaper than last fall. Meanwhile, smaller pork sup plies and a very light early hatch of laying type-chicks promise bet. tor prices for meat and eggs.

Last year Standard's scientists explored millions of acres offshore and on land in the Western Hemi sphere. Once again we discovered new oil deposits that will help supply the 830 gallons of petroleum everyone in the U. S. will use this year . . . and the 1000 gallons they'll need by 1965. With oil becoming more difficult and expensive to find, Standard's investment in exploration is in creasing . . . $119,000,000 last year. That's one way we can find new oil to help keep ahead of the nation's growing need for products from petroleum. Progress in the Wist means.','. U.
