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.

says doctors have assured him
that the few minutes saved by
needing ambulances , are insig
nificant in relation to the acci
dents that are caused by ; that
kind of driving.
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
