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

For Stock-Poultry
j OREGON STATE COLLEGE
here j Cheaper feed and better prices
for Oregon livestock and poultry-
products during the last naif of
1957 are forecast by Oregon State
college agricultural economists.
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

Oil geologists probe the ocean floor for clues to new oil fields
THE OCEAN FLOOR IS THE NEWEST
FRONTIER in our search for oil to help meet the
growing demand of motorists, home owners, farm
ers, industry and the Armed Forces.
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. S. oil reserves must
continue to keep pace
with rising demand
