To New Depart ment. Duties of all these boards and com mission would be transferred under the new department, along with con trol of the state's institutions. County boards would be organized under the state board. All old age pensions and public relief would likewise come under this new department If the measure Is approved. The measure, one of the most sweeping of those so far entered by the administration, would set up a powerful department and take the control of the Institution from the board of control. A bitter debate on the measure was expected If and when It Is brought out on the floor1 of the senate. 1 Changes in Oregon's liquor control act. the major features being , the increase in most license fees, de crease of 50 cents In the purchaser's permit, and- concentration of the commission's administration at one I point, were presented the house and senate committee in session here last night.

(AP) If you golfers who consistently top 100 once In a while "get hot" and crack the AO's, how much "hotter" could you get with a ball of dry Ice? No kidding! A golf ball with a cen ter of dry Ice has been developed here, and preliminary tests, according to Clarence Rickey, who claims to have thought of It, prove It to be a real "go-getter" for distance down the fairways (and perhaps In the rough). The secret, Is this, according to Rickey; Commercial dry Ice Is nothing more or less than carbon dioxide re- j duced to such a low level of temper ature that It freezes. When it "melts" , it expands Into gas. In the golf ball, developed here In collaboration with Prof. William J. Wohlleben of the University of Day ton chemistry department, the rub ber core of the sphere Is filled with a patented liquid. Then a scientifically-calculated, sea led -In pellet of dry Ice Is added.
