PXGE FOUR
New Reno Mayor
: J A "
By Wendell Webb
Associated Press Staff Writer.
PORTLAND, May (AP) A wide
dlrergeoct of opinion concerning the
feasibility of utilising the fire-swept
walls of Oregon's capltol building was
revs tied today In an informal survey
of a representative group of state
legislators.
Several declare4 the architectural
design of the old structure ihould be
retained and the present walls used H
possible; others were of the opinion
It would be foolish to attempt to
salvage any part of the ruined build
ing, and still others stated they would
await the outcome f further study
before hazarding an opinion.
Expense Ideas Vary
Estimates of expense that should be
undertaken for a new building ranged
over several millions of dollars.
C. P. Haight. Canyon City represen
tative, expressed himself emphatically
for a structure "of stability" and "in
spiration to ths great state of Ore
gon." Aa to cost, ne commonw;
It runs up to $10,000,000 what Is that,
for a hundred years, with millions of
people to gaze upon an architectural
triumph?" Haight also said he would
not favor changing the design of the
eld building. He would finance the
project by government aid, and, if
necessary, through a direct property
tax "Instead of trying to fool some
body with a tax hidden In a roll of
butter."
Would Junk Ruins
Roy Carter of Gold Beach, Coos
Ourry representative, told the Associ
ated Press Jie believed "we should
spend at least 2. 000, 000 to build an
adequate building for the next SO
years, with some very outstanding
features either in height or otherwise
to focus the eyes of the middlenest
and east on Oregon, which I think in
a very short time would more than
pay back the cost of the structure.
Uke Haight, Representative Csrter
aid he did not favor attempting to
cave any portion of the present ruins.
Senator Charles K. Spauldlng of
aalem declared that before the prea
nt walla were razed, he "would Uke
to get an opinion of some of our very
food contractor and see. if the in
terior was built of steel, why the
present walls could not be used as a
veneer only." He expressed the
opinion that "with a modern interior
we would have as fine a capltol
eould be wished for at a cost of sot
to exceed 1,000,000."
Senator George Aitkin of Oarden
Some stated he favored removing the
resent walls and the erection of
modern, fire-proof building to take
ear of present and future require
ments, with a portion of the cost to
be borne by the federal government
and the remainder to be raised by
popular subscription.
Hai til Hon Gives Idni
lloore Hamilton, Med ford, repre
sentative, declared he was firmly in
favor of an "adequate building" and
estimated 93.000,000 as the probable
amount necessary. He advocated that
tfce legislature be presented several
programs by the planning commission
and the board of control in order to
have a basis for decision. Hamilton
blamed the recent ststehouse fire at
Salem on the fact that the state
asserted ly refused to build an "ade
quate basement entrance." and de
ciwu "further such economy by
building a roof over the old walls is
pure rot."
Walter Korblad. Clatsop representa
tive, declared he was opposed to the
use of the old walls and that while
he does not favor "a large and elabor
ate capltol he believes the structure
should be "sufficient to meet our
needs," , , . end be a credit to the
commonwealth. He suggested a hap
py medium between the capltol at
Olympla and the proposal to rebuild
the old structure.
Henry L. Corbett, Multnomah,
president of the senate, said he was
not yet sufficiently conversant with
the amount of space needed and de
clared he would awa't the outcome ,
of further atudy before itjeardlng a
definite opinion. He did say. however
that he believed the architectural
style should retain the traditions of
the old building, "typifying the New
England ancestry responsible for the
development of this state."
Senator N. O. Wallace of Bend said
he did not have enough evidence at
hand to comment definitely.
Senator P. M. Ptanclscovlch of As
toria declared he believed the present
ruins of ths atatehouse should be re-
moved, but qualified his statement by :
saying his opinion was subject to
change "when complete engineering
facts are made available."
T. W. Munyan, representative from
Lebanon, esttmsted S.1 000.000 as the
probable sum needed for a "modern,
up-to-date building." He also de
clared he did not believe It would be
economy to use the walla of the old
structure and that he hoped the
legislature could find some mesne of
financing a new structure other than '.
by a tax on property,
None of the senators and represen
tatives Interviewed hinted that any
change in the location of the capltol
would be considered.

tie revision of price and production !
controls in the cement manufactur-
ing code were ordered by'NRA yestcr- i
day in a atep believed by some ob- '
servers to foretell more sweeping
changes In blue eatle policies.
In line with Donald ft. Rich be r'
recent forecast of sweeping code slm- '
pllflcattons, NRA eliminated from the 1
cement code sections which would i
control new plant construction or in- '
creases In capacity. It struck out also !
customer classification, prohibitions
against sales below cost sa determ :
lned by a cost formula and a man
datory uniform cost accounting ays- j
tern. j
The cement production control -provision,
which also exists in the ice 1
manufacturing code, had been th
subject of special criticism In con
gress.
Open price filing was retained in
a modified form. Where members of
the Industry heretofore have filed
prices with the code autthorlty. they
hereafter will be filed with a "con
fidential agent." j
The revised code, effective May 31 '
contains a basic 40-hour six-day
week. Instead of previous provision
for a maximum 42-hour week with a
36-hour week average over alx-montii
periods. Minimum wage rates wer
unchsnged.
