TWELVE MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 21, 18SS Nevberg Man Faces Busy Time in Legislature; Wants To Change Several Laws Nov on Books Br BILL FORCE United Press " Correspondent , a Salem (U.R) Rep. George -Layman is a lawmaker who is ' bothered by laws that don't function the way they were intended- He has several bills ready lor introduction that he thinks will make the Oregon code of laws a little more ef : ficient. - - '. Layman, who is mayor of the Yamhill county town of New berg, this year found himself the only Republican attorney in the House of Representatives. That meant, almost automatic- ally, the chairmanship of the in- - fluential House Judiciary Com mittee. It also has turned out to mean an increased work load on the House floor where non- attorneys are frequently in need of quick legal opinion. Seldom Loses Temper - Layman is . an 4'oil-on-the-waters" type of legislator one who can quiet a budding con- . troversy ; by cutting - away ex ; traneous issues and by keeping the discussion on the -point at ? hand. He isn't the type to avoid ' a fight if it's necessary, but few have ever seen him lose his temper. ' . , . r . ' This year he may be the cen J ter of some disputes when he f introduces his series of cor directive bills. J One of them would remove I ambulances from . the classifi i cation of emergency vehicles. , Layman feels that too many in I nocent bystanders have been r killed or injured by ambulances screaming through intersections i against the traffic lights. If he I has his ; way, - ambulances ; will observe the same traffic laws as ! all other vehicles, even though tney carry . injured persons. He Reactors To Bang's Disease Testing . In State Are Few : Salem More cattle were test : ed, fewer reactors were found iand brucellosis (Bang's) disease in Oregon cattle is at ah all-time ;low, according to a joint' report ; issued by federal and state offi- cials on the outcome of the 1954 - brucellosis ' testing program ; in Oregon. : The report said that of X2,212 T cattle tested in Jackson county, only 94 were found to be reac tors. During the year ; 1,709 calves in the county were vac- : cmated. , . " . .. . The report was released by Dr. A. G. Beagle, Portland, -'. veterinarian in charge of . the federal - animal disease eradica tion branch, and M. E. Knicker bocker, Salem, chief of the di vision of animal husbandry of :the state department of agricul ture. Few Found Reactors : . The 1954 report shows 295,107 cattle were tested and that 1,620 of them, or just over one-half of one per cent, reacted. The ac tual reactor percentage figure is 0.548. It represents a drop from the 0.65 per cent of last year when 1,838 reactors were found in 281,003 beef and dairy ani mals tested. - Not a single reactor was found in Hood River county. Only three were found in each Wasco and. Lake counties; four each in Sherman and Josephine coun ties; six in Crook county; and eight in Gilliam county; Because . of , the small number of , cattle tested in some of these, counties, however, the percentage of re- - actors there ran above the state - average. ! George Sees Hope Of Prisoner Release Washington (U.R) Chair man Walter F. George of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee said today there is hope that Red China .will ; release American airmen jailed as spies. : The Georgia Democrat said there also is hope of "more sta bility" in the Far East where the ' Chinese ; Communists' and Chinese Nationalists are now embattled.

To Clarify Libel Law : At the request of the publish ers of .the state. Layman also will introduce a bill clarifying Oregon : law on libel. If it is passed, - persons awarded libel judgments could collect only special, not : general, 'damages in cases where there was no malicious intent. In other words, if a publisher or radio station made an honest but damaging error and carried a retraction, the damaged party could collect only to the extent of the actual loss he suffered as a result of the error. Another law that Layman doesn't like, and one that he will try to change, is the one allow ing the secretary of state to sus pend a driver's license without a hearing simply because that official feels the driver may be an unsafe operator. Under the present law, the driver may get a hearing on the suspension only after the license is taken away. Layman plans to introduce a bill requiring a hearing before the suspension. Another blooper bill in Lay man's opinion is the one re-' quiring motorists to stop when they see an approaching school bus stopping ahead of them. The law requires you to come to a dead halt behind or in front of a school bus loading or unload ing children. Layman has no argument with, that principle, but he feels approaching motor ists are not given enough warn ing that a bus in; the 'other lane is about to stop.- If you're fol lowing , a ; bus, the stop lights give you adequate warning. If you're approaching a stopping bus, the signal arm with its stop sign may swing out just in time for you to make a screach ing stop and keep within the law. Layman, would require bus drivers to raise their stop- sig nal arm well in advance of their stop to give approaching drivers more tune to apply their brakes, American Plans Target Of Ground Fire in Korea Seoul, Korea (U.R) : An American Army plane, carrying five soldiers was raked by ground fire near the demilitar ized zone yesterday and one American soldier was killed and a lieutenant colonel seriously wounded. An Eighth Army spokesman said the pilot of the plane, an 120 Beaver, felt a sharp jar and when he turned around two of the men had been hit. The other three were not hurt j The pilot, 1st Lt. E. G. Weide, home town not available, landed the crippled plane at the nearest airstrip near Chip-ri, 40 miles northeast of Seoul and. 12 miles south of the truce line. v Hollywood U.R) Bandleader composer Gus Arnheim, 57, who began his career on Broadway with Sophie Tucker and helped start the career of crooner Bing Crosby, died Wednesday.
