1H T o o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, January IB, 1955 (Seamy, Smith Defend CDnoDce Far (DomniiniDDtAee CDnaicinniainislliiDps Salem (U.R) Most of the leg islators were home Saturday for a week end in which to wind up their personal affairs before set tling down to the long struggle to attend to the affairs of state But a hard coTe of ways and means subcommitteemen in both houses remained here to tackle 'problems in which already have been laid in their laps. Speaker of the House Edward A. Geary remained over the week end and was busy in his office Saturday assessing and completing the work of organiza tion. Senate President Elmo E. Smith of John Day also remained in the capitol, but Saturday he was confined in his home with a sudden and severe cold. He pre sided at Friday's brief session, then went home and went to bed. Defend Choices Both Smith and Geary gave vigorous defense to their choice of committee chairmen. Some Democrats and some newspapers had criticized them for appoint ing only two Democrats as chair men, both in the House. . To charges that this looked like a return to the spoils sys tem. Smith said there was no such thing as any thought of a spoils system. He said: "It is my responsibility as Senate pres ident to put the best men in the best places, and that I have done to the best of my ability and only after very careful and pro longed study. There are no sacred cows in the senate." . Criticism there had been large ly about removal of Sen. Robert D. Holmes of Gearhart from the chairmanship of the Senate Edu cation Committee. Sen. Holmes still is a member of that commit tee, headed this session by Sen. John C. F. Merrifield of Port land. Appointed Henry Semon Speaker Geary had named Deotrats as chairmen of two com mittees, Rep! Henry Semon of Klamath Falls as chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, and Robert J. Stew ard of Keating as chairman of the new livestock committee. Geary said: Oregon Dairymen Oppose Controls Bend (U.R) The Oregon Dairymen's Association was on record Saturday as opposed to a new state milk price control law. By a margin of 19 to 15, the association voted not to ask the Legislature for a law to fix pro ducer prices. Many of those who previously had defended the old state law lined up in favor of a federal milk market order. Proponents of a state law indicated, however, such a meas ure may be introduced in the Legislature. Dairymen also voted against a proposal favoring increase of the minimum butterfat content of standard milk from 3.2 to 3.8 per cent. The association elected Rich ard Lyons of Junction City as president; George Hostetler of Redmond, first vice president, and Ray Hobson, Klamath Falls, second vice-president. La Grande Woman Likes Jury Duty La Grande U.R) No one can ever accuses Mrs. Charles Montgomery of trying to duck jury duty. Sitting in on a trial here at the Union County courthouse, Mrs. Montgomery slipped and broke her arm during- the noon recess. During the lunch hour, she contacted a doctor, had the arm set and placed in a cast, and was back in the jury box when court re-convened. "I appointed two Democrats as committee chairmen, not be cause they were Democrats but because of their abilities. As to his appointment - of Charles A. Tom of Rufus as chair man of the education committee he said "Tom definitely showed his ability at the last session of the Legislature and his interest in education. He is a young man whose mam political interest is in the state of Oregon, and un doubtedly will be returned in following years. I don't think anybody can criticize his ability, The reference to Tom's "poli tical interest" in the state of Oregon was pointed. Tom suc ceeds Rep. Maurine Neuberger of Portland as chairman of the education committee. She is the wife of Richard L. Neuber ger who was elevated from the Oregon Senate to the U. S. Sen ate on the Democratic ticket in last November's general election.
