J FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuridty, February 10, 195S Defend fre Houss'Soiiiii Dornari s Department if life n 1 C I t. g t -.1 4 mm ... ... V. 4 mi i rr,.; Group Sees Report Showing Savings Made for State By BILL FORCE ' Uniied Press Correspondent G 3 Salem 01.R) Harry Dorman and his State Department of Finance and Administration went on trial yesterday before the House State and Federal Af S fairs. Committee that is consid ering a bill that would abolish 0 the department. Dorman promptly handed the s committee a copy of an ac counting firm report which showed his department was sav ing the state some $2,200,000 every biennlum, more than double the amount it takes to operate all phases of vhe depart ment. Pearson Makes Accusation ' Rep. Walter Pearson (D-Port-land), one of the sponsors of the 2:S abolition ' bill, accused the de partment of takings over the functions of constitutional of fices - and of absorbing other state offices like a giant sponge. He said its budget has increased tremendously. The budget for the, depart ment this, year requests an ap propriation of more than $790, 000. Last session the request was for $575,442. Rep. F. H. " Dammasch ' (R Portland), who joined Pearson in sponsoring .the bill, said, his reason-for introducing the bill was to bring the facts about Dorman's operation into' 1 the open and to quiet rumors about the department's work. He said Dorman should be allowed to justify his budget request of more than three-quarters-of-a-raillion dollars. The department, Dammasch . said, should have " the wholehearted support of all state, departments or the Legis lature should correct' its, short comings. . ! v Witnesses Presented Dorman then presented to the committee a roomful of wit 5 nesses, .businessmen and heads of state departments, .who testi fied to their satisfaction with ,the Department of Finance and Hheir respect . - for Dorman's budgetary and" expense con trols. ' ' . " .Dorman's witnesses included R. H. " Baldock, state highway engineer; Mrs. Loa Howard Ma son, administartor of the State Y,Telf are Commission; Dr. John Richards, chancellor-elect of the state system of higher educa tion: Dr. Harold Erickson, head of the State Board of Health; Mrs. Katherine Barseh, assistant attorney general; Charles Terry, state civil service director; Charles Heltzel, public utilities commissioner; George Spaur, ss state forester, and Ti Morris ' e Dunne, head of the unemploy ment compensation commission. Cosis Said Decreased Dorman defended his budget requests with the claim that actual, operation costs of his de partment-have decreased and that apparent increases could be attributed to transfers from oth er departments of budgeted sal caries of personnel doing .work for, the finance department and the purchase of equipment actually used in 'departments . outside Dorman's.i , . Dorman testified . that his of fice purchases materials for the state valued at $35,000,000 per . biennium and spread over 155, 000 separate items. He conceded that mistakes may have been made, but he insisted, the . same mistake was never made twice. He said the cost of operating the department compared favorably with similar departments in Michigan and Minnesota where the volume of purchases was similar. ' -: ' , At the close, of the hearing, Pearson admitted that Dorman's ' purchasing' and budget divisions were doing a sound job, but he repeated his charge that the de partment was growing beyond control. Grade A EVOBDCc IBSDD Claimed To (Favor Big Wets Salem U.R) A bill to : abol-1 ish grades B and C milk for de livery to consumers is a move, opponents say, to abolish small I producers and distributors and leave the market to the big out lets. Vigorous opposition to House Patterson Unaware of Republican Plans To Draft Him for Senate Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul Pat terson said today he was too busy with legislative problems to think about future political plansand that he knew nothing of a reported Republican plan to draft him to run for the U. S. Senate next year. : The Seattle Times said yester day that top GOP strategists want to draft Patterson and Gov.' Arthur B. Langlie of Washing ton to run for.the Senate next year. Patterson ' presumably would oppose Sen. Wayne Morse and Langlie run against Demo crat Warren G. Magnuson. Langlie Denies Knowledge Langlie, in Olympia, also de nied knowledge of such plans. However, both left the door open for a possible draft at the request of President Eisenhower. Patterson and Langlie both visited the president recently. Both said he 'made no mention of any such plan. Patterson said yesterday, how ever, "no American . could re fuse a request tg do anything to-, assist the President in his work. But no such request has been made of me." He added that his statement was "in no sense to be considered an an nouncement or indication con cerning any f u t u r e political plans. I have none at this time," he said. "At present I am busy trying to help the Oregon Legislature with its deliberations and I have no thought' as to the political future." . . Langlie made a similar state ment at Olympia. Ike Would Campaign .' The Times story said Mr.- Eis enhower was reported to have said he would campaign in Ore gon and Washington in behalf of Patterson and Langlie, The newspaper said the plan to draft the governors was worked out by Sherman Adams, presiden tial assistant, and Attorney Gen eral Herbert Brownell. Oregon State GOP Chairman Ed Boehnke said he knew noth ing about the report. "We're not putting out anything on Repub lican candidates until the State Legislative session is over," he said. - Too Early Removal of Teeth Can Cause Dental Troubles (Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series; of six articles dealing with dental health. They are being published in cooperation, with the South ern Oregon Denial society in observance of National Chil dren's Dental Health week, to be observed Feb. 7 to 13. The articles were prepared under the . supervision of the Ameri can Dental association.) The "fairy godmother", who rewards a youngster for placing a tooth" under his pillow at night may be doing the child grave harm. If a first tooth is removed or lost too soon, serious dental troubles can result. The adjacent teeth may "drift" toward the opening left by the lost tooth, causing the succeeding permanent teeth to appear in the wrong place. The unhappy result may be a severe case of highly . irregular second teeth and ' an ;unsightly appearance. In- order ' to avoid this faulty tooth alignment, den tists will sometimes recommend use of a space maintainer when certain primary teeth are lost prematurely. Belief Causes Damage The belief that a child's first teeth are not ' important "be cause they will fall out any way" has produced much dam age to both teeth and appear? ance.

BEWARE OF IMITAT10HS LOOK FOR THE HAPPY LITTLE DOG tfCPPf Bill 125 to make only grade A milk available to the consum ing public was demonstrated at a hearing yesterday afternoon before the House Food and Dairying Committee headed by Rep. Leon S. Davis (R-Hills-boro). Won't Increase Standards Small producers and producer-distributors, and consumers, testified that the bill, which they said was aimed at getting the small "gallon jug" dairyman out" of business in Oregon, would not increase the health standards of milk. It was a consumer, Mrs. Mel vin Cleveland of Salem, who brought the house down with the statement that she wanted to continue to buy milk by the jug in this area because the but terfat content is not limited but the natural milk is sold. A burst of applause greeted her when she said "when we buy at the dairy by the jug, we get milk with cream in it; cream that will whip. When you have to buy milk by the bottle, with the con tent down to 3.8 per cent butter fat instead of the six per cent we get, it just doesn't taste as good.'' ' Rep. Joe Rogers (D-Indepen- thoroughly with decayed teeth or if teeth are missing or if the teeth are badly out of position. A child's first teeth usually begin to appear when the baby is between 6 and 8 months old. The first ones to come in are the two front teeth called central incisors. By the time he reaches 2 or 2 years, he usually has all his 20 first teeth. s First Are Molars , ; The permanent teeth begin to appear when the child is about 6 years old. Usually these are the four first permanent molars or so-called "six-year molars." They do not replace any of the primary teeth but appear far back in the mouth, just behind the last of the primary molars. There should be a word of caution about, the six-year molars. Because they do not take the place of first teeth, parents often mistake them for so-called "baby teeth." These six-year molars are highly im portant as keys to the position of the rest of the child's perman ent teeth and are often called "the keystones of the dental arch.'V ' ' , All of a child's permanent i teeth generally appear by . the I time he is between 12 and 131 years old exceDt for the nerman-l ent third molars or so-called "wisdom teeth." These four teeth ordinarily come in be tween the ages of 17 and 21. . 4 (Tomorrow: First Visit to the Dentist) . fl) Ho Other nn ii fiufiiipr 89BEE Gives You So Much TOPS IN QUALITY!

Elmer Deetz of Canby." That drew a round of laugh ter from the audience. Deetz (R Canby), a member of the com bittee, is the "gallon jug" dairy man who successfully led the fight to repeal the milk market ing control act. . John I. Gale, Canby dairyman and executive secretary of the Oregon producer-distributor association, representing many small producer-distributors, said the bill was "designed to elim inate competition and nothing else." To the charge of what he called "large distributors" that grade B milk was unsafe, Gale replied: "The State Department of Agriculture set the regula tions of grade B milk and if in their opinion, the milk was not safe, they would change the regulations." Object To Provisions ; ' Two provisions the small pro ducers objected to were that in order to get the grade A license, they would have to buy expen sive automatic capping ma chines for their gallon jugs and have a separate room for bottling. . ' Harry Lane, Clackamas coun ty "dairyman, said "this two room idea is asinine. For years there has been a trend toward simplifying operations in pro ducing milk, not making them more complex." . Mrs. Sally Fox, Molalla dairy woman, "said the trend of sell ing milk to families right at the farm has actually ihcreased: con sumption of milk because those families are consuming more milk than they ever did before the by-the-gallon milk was available. And Fred E. Burgess of Vale said passage of house bill 124 to eliminate grade B milk would "return us to 'bootleg' milk." CHEATED Ironequbit, N. Y.
