K r i CH)6 fgjj Generation Gaps Not New Always, since the very beginning of our country, there has been this giant of a generation gap. Thomas Fleming In The Man Who Dared The Lightning: A New Look At Ben jarrin Fiar.klin," ttlls surprising things about a hero of mine and probably a hero of youra and many other Americans). He points out an Irony, a reversal f some present cir-cumt..nor-s. For his son, William Franklin who Ben loved and who shared as a boy his fathers interest in the electri cal experiments which brought Ben Franklin his first inter national notice, was on the other side of the generation gap, William bre with his father over the Revolution. The son was a royal governor of New Jersey, remained loyal to the king throughout the Ee volution, while Franklin took the side of the colonists. What a truly dramatic contention between father and son. And what a struggle was fought by father and son over the loyalties of William's son. Temple. Grandfather Ben ultimately won the heart rending contention. There were contentions, too, of fathers and sons, and borthers, too time after time as seen daring the Civil War, especially In the Border Sates of the South. During the Spanish American War. World Wars I and II we seem to have seen little of such contentions. Not much ' visible during the Korean conflict but there were rumb lings of dissatisfaction In our foreign adventure. And now we see more aumerous contentions and popu lar lacks of mutual understanding. This is a popular con tention The Generation Gap. It certainly exists. It's reaL But it's not new. Liberty and Gun Ownership A uniquely American organization is observing its Cen tennial during the year 197L That organization is the Na tional Rifle Association which represents more than a mil lion law-abiding, gun-owning U. S. citizens. Over the years, the NRA ha fostered firearm safety, conservation, good sports manship and above all, an understanding of the place of a firearm in the life of the responsible cltizea Last year, the NRA publication, "The American Rifle man", published in Its "Armed Citizen" columns. 112 actual instances as in which the mere presence of a firearm In the hands of a resolute citizen prevented crime without blood shed. Every' case came from news reports confirmed bv police records in 97 communities across the land. Robberies were prevented and quite possibly rapes and murders because, as 'The American Rifleman" puts it" ... a self-reliant Amer ican . . ." was on hand with a gun and with sufficient cool ness to use it intelligently. Asks The American Rifleman", "Can anyone show us where 112 crimes have been averted by the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968?" The claim is made by some that the laws restricting gun ownership should be made even more stringent To this the NRA, speaking in behalf of millions of Ameircans, observes, "... we must disagree. The answer is a need for many things, but laws that deprive decent persons of self-protection are not among them " In the next century, as in the past century', liberty and the right of gun ownership will re main as inseparable as freedom of the press and representa tive government BOBEBT HUGHES measmrr and Mwi is FT A shop wade LETTERS ro EDITOR If r-T- n ill Mann :( ; man n By HEP.

SENATE HOUSE COOPERA TION . . . The Oregon Legislat ure Is a bicameral (two cham bers) system, along with 48 oth er states of the Union. Nebras ka, the only exception, operates under a unicameral system. All bilk must be heard and passed by both the Senate and House to become law. One may- think this Ls time-consuming and wasteful: on the contrary", it gives assurance that legislation is thoroughly analyzed and dis cussed, and provides a safeguard aeainst pressure tactics and legal "loop-holing." Although the Senate and House are separate bodies, .each with its own leaders and staff, there Is a great deal of coop eration between them. Perhaps the most influencial committee in the Legislature Is the Joint Ways and Means Committee, which hears all bills dealing with state expenditures. The Committee Is presided over by co-chairmen, a Senator and a Representative; there are 14 members, seven from each house. Another area of cooperation is in joint committee hearings. Last week, the Fish and Game Committees of both houses met jointly, to be briefed on the Russian fishing fleet now ply ing Oregon's offshore waters. This eliminated the necessity of two separate committees hear ing duplicate reports on a ma jor issue of concern. Senators often testify in House committees, and vice-versa, on bills in which they have an in terest, and we often "listen in" to hearings in the opposite chamber, to gain information and background on issues which concern our constituents. My relationship with our lo cal Representatives, Paul Wal den and Irvin Mann, is close and ccrdiaL We often sponsor the same bills, appear at com mittee hearings together, and are in contact with each other almost daily during the session TAX MEASURES WHATS HAPPENING r . . . Dozens of bills involving taxes are pres ently swimming around the Statehouse some will pass, some will go down. The Republican - sponsored Home Preservation Plan, an nounced jointly by Republican leaders of the Senate and House at the beginning of the session, is being refined and added to in the House. As originally drafted, the Plan provides for three main areas of property tax relief a senior citizen tax freeze, exemption from property taxes of the first $1500 of as sessed value of even- owner-oc- show that the home has retain ed Its Identity as a vehicle. A second bill Ls being considered which, in effect, returns to the previous licensing system for all mobile homes. Companion bills have been introduced in both houses which make it mandatory that all al coholic and soft drink beverage containers be sold with a five- cents deposit These bilLs are designed to reduce the litter problem created by non-return able bottles and cans, by giv ing the public an incentive to return their containers to col lect the deposit. The bills' effect will be to virtually eliminate the containerization of beverag es in cans and non-returnable bottles throughout the state. In other words, almost all such beverages will be sold only in containers, mostly bottes, which can be reused or recycled. Sen ate Bill 194 is now in the Con sumer Affairs Committee, and House Bill 1036 is In the State and Federal Affairs Committee. ADOPTION LAW CLARIFIED . . . . The tragic possibility of an adopted child being reclaim ed by his natural mother because she "changed her mind was eliminated last week through the 27-0 passage of Sen ate Bill 48. The bill now Is in the House, where it is sure to receive similar action. Under the new law, when a mother surrenders her child for adop uon, sne signs a promise, or waiver, that she will not try to reclaim the child. This waiver, now, is absolutely irrevocable, unless fraud or duress can be proven. The bill carries the signatures of nine Senators (including mine), and 23 Representatives I appreciate the time many or you nave taken to write me about your thoughts and prob lems. I can't over-emphasize the importance that constituents mail has to every Legislator. My address in Salem Is Ken Jernstedt State Senate, Salem, Oregon 97310. Tlease let me hear from you.

On the 12th day of October, 1969, there was a gun acodext Involving a HusQvarna 3066 bolt action rifle, causing very; serious injury to the shootex.
