The Senate has voted 22 to 8 to adopt a ma jority report on its education committee to place minimum salaries for public school teach ers at $3000 to $3600. Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Salem) and others debated for a minori ty report to place the minimum at $4500 to $4000. The minimum as set forth in the majority report vould be $3000 for a teacher not holding a bachelor's degree, $3300 for a teacher with a bachelor's de gree, and $3600 for a teacher with a master's degree. The minority report advocat ed minimum $400 higher in each classification. Salem U.R) A proposed public electric corporation for Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana has been criticized by a Republican state senator and praised by a Democratic state senator here. The Northwest Public Power Association announced that the third draft of a bill creating a four-state compact which ulti mately .would take over opera tion of a regional power corpor ation had been completed. Gus Norwood, executive secretary of the association, said ., the new draft would allow the four states to join in an interstate compact and take over the cor poration. The corporation would have the power to plan and de velop hydroelectric resources. State Sen. Paul E. Geddes (R Roseburg) attacked the pro posal. He said its compact pro vision would ; be "absolutely c useless since constitution of Idaho would not allow financing of such a corporation's func tions. Geddes is an exponent of the proposed Columbia Basin Inter state Compact bill, currently in active. State Sen. Robert D.' Holmes (D-Gearhart) praised it. He said the regional corporation "seems to offer real promise as a solu tion" to developing basin re sources. Holmes was the only dissenter on the Oregon group - that helped draft the , present compact proposal. Salem (U.R) A resolution has been introduced in the House calling for a special interim committee to make a detailed study of forest taxation in Ore gon. Sponsors were Reps. Charles A. Tom, Ruf us, and Loran L. Stewart, Cottage Grove, both Republicans. The resolution asks the Legislature to set up a seven-member committee to make the study during the next two years and report back in 1957. Tom introduced a similar bill in 1953, but it died in com mittee. ' " . .- . Salem U.R) The Joint Ways and Means Committee has given final approval of a bill raising the bonding limit for the Board of Higher Education, retaining a provision for construction of housing for married students. " The increase in the limit, from $8,000,000 to $13,800,000, was urged by Dr. John R. Rich ards, chancellor-designate of the state system of higher educa tion, who said both veteran and non-veteran married couples are now attending state institutions in increasing numbers. The board considers the trend is here to stay and feels the need for more adequate housing for such students, he said. Richards added that the board probably would not reach the new limit, if it is authorized, within the next two years. The bill now goes to he House for action there. The joint committee also ap proved a bill that would allow the board to spend some money, such as gifts, without appropri ation by the Legislature. Salem U.R) The House has approved a measure authorizing the State Highway Commission to build and maintain its share of bridges cross the Snake river where that stream forms a boun dary with Idaho. The commission asked for the legislation, when it discovered it had inadequate authority to undertake a project near Nyssa where a bridge recently collapsed. Salem 4U.R) Two state .park sites, Jackson F. Kimball park in Klamath county, and Loeb park in Curry county, would be transferred to the State Park Department from the Forestry Depatment if the Senate ap proves a bill passed by the House. The forestry department has neither the funds nor the au thority to develop and maintain the two sites. . Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Movies and television finally are dewy-eyed over their long-awaited wedding, and TV view ers may see such motion picture favor ites as Mr Belvedere and Flicka the horse on the home screens T w e n tieth Century - Fox Aline Mosby studio, one of the biggest movie-makers in the business, has revealed plans to produce films for TV as well as making giant cinemascope mov ies for theaters. Only last ; year many film executives were drawing swords to do battle with TV but now the movie industry appears to be happily joining the enemy. First in TV Columbia studio was the first major film factory to produce TV subsidiary, Screen Gems, Inc. But Fox is openly naming its TV unit "Twentieth Century Fox Television Productions." Warner studio also reportedly is preparing to produce TV films. To the TV viewer, the tie-up of movie studios and TV will mean "top quality TV films" and the appearance of such movie veterans as Mr. Belvedere, according to the new Fox TV experts. "We're using the name of the parent company because we ex pect to be proud of our TV films," explained Michael Kraike one of the executives in charge of the new TCF-TV unit. ."There isn't the slightest doubt these films will be better than others now on TV. Experts will make them." Old Serial The studio . is considering dusting ' off its old serials such as Belvedere (probably without Clifton Webb), Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto, My Friend Flicka and the Jones Family for TV. The new TV unit also plans two dramatic shows. Another idea they're mulling is a travelogue adventure program to use the miles of film that Fox camera men have shot in years of mak ing movies from Africa to China. Younger Fox contract players, such as Joan Collins, Gloria Gordon, Debra Paget and Bob Wagner, will be used in the TV films. Bigger stars, including Victor Mature and Susan Hay ward, will work only in the theatrical movies, "But we will hire free-lance big name stars who are available for TV," is the studio's cautious idea. Fox is spending nearly a million dol lars to. convert a branch studio into 15 sound stages for TV pro duction. Universal - Interna tional studio is on speaking terms with TV, too. After the studio signed several new actors who had appeared on "Medic," U-I offered its own young contract players to the producers of the TV program. Cousins Reunited Memphis, Tenn. U.R) Sev eral years ago, Sam Barrett found an automatic pencil on the floor of a hotel here. Several months later, he no ticed that engraved on the band was the name Clarence W. Bar bett the same as that of a cousin he hadn't seen for 50 years and . with whom he lost contact. The other day, while visiting his mother at Canton, Miss., he answered a knock at the door and there was his cousin, Clar ence, standing outside. Clarence had stopped to visit Mrs.; Bar rett on his way to Louisiana. Sam pulled out the pencil, and Clarence told him it was his. Clarence said he had been in Memphis for a short visit, had lost the pencil m the hotel and had searched unsuccessfully for it.

' In two assemblies, legislation has been introduced to move the state, capitals. " Preihs authoried one of these. He'd move the Illi nois legislature from Springfield to Aurora which is farther from his home town of Pana. In : Ohio, Republican Virgil Perrill has a bill to remove the capitol from Columbus because the city; is talking about build ing a parking lot under it. The ' South Carolina General assembly is considering a bill which will prohibit trapping or killing of the copyu, a beaver like rodent from South America with webbed hind feet.

In Utah, the legislature final ly got around this year to mak ing the seagull the official state bird. The story is that a flock of gulls once saved the Mormon pioneers from a horde of crickets.

' European Chafer Found in New York Geneva, N. Y. (U.R) The Eu ropean chafer, a soil-inhabiting pest that causes serious damage to lawns, golf courses, parks, cemeteries and pastures, is spreading through New York State. . A member of the May beetle or June bug family, the chafer first turned up in this country in 1940 near Newark, N. Y. It causes injury by feeding on the roots of grasses and fibrous-rooted plants. The grub usually ,is found in grasses in open, sunny areas as thinning out, browning, irregular dead patches in late fall or early spring. : A study at the state experi ment station here indicates the chafer's presence will be first noticed by the "swarming" adults in trees and shrubs at dusk in early June, somewhat similar to the swarming of bees. The most effective control, a re port of the study, showed re cently, is soil treatment with DDT, chlordane, and other simi lar materials. BRIEF WILL . . Hartford, Conn. (U.R) A 16 word will, written on paper measuring two by . four inches, was admitted to probate.

Meyers, a San Fran cisco Democrat, introduced the bill to outlaw pay toilets. He also has a measure to provide for aerials in highway tunnels so car radios won't black out. And Assemblyman Vernon Kilpatrick would make it a mis demeanor to tattoo anyone un der the age of 18.

AlHANCES are, you'll be way over if you guess at the local delivered price of a 19S5 Buick in the Pacific Coast area. Most people are. 7. And that's easy to understand when you look at a Buick. It's big, broad, roomy powered for thrilling action. In prestige alone, it would seem to carry a high price tag. But when you check into things, you dis cover this surprising fact: Buick is in the nation's top three when it comes to sales volume and when it comes to low prices -that make such huge popularity possible. What's more, the new low transportation charges now in effect hove moved Buick prices even below those asked for the three best-known smaller cars just several months ago. The price tag we show here is one proof of that. And an even bigger one is the soaring success of the 1955 Buick hottest car in all Buick sales history. So why miss out on Buick style and power and room and ride when you can have it all if you can afford any new car? Why do yourself out of the fun and pride and deep satisfaction of bossing a big and brawny beauty like the one pictured here, when the dollars you pay for this Buick buy you so much more sheer automobile? And why pay extra for things like direction signals, oil -bath air cleaner, full-flow oil filter, automatic lighting in the glove com partment when such things, and more, are yours in every new Buick as standard equipment at no extra cost? Drop in for a visit this week and start checking things. We believe that when you look into this great car when you see what you get for the low price you pay and when you discover what happens when you nudge that gas pedal you'll say it's gospel that Buick's the thrill and the buy of the year, hands down.
