Measures in Oregon Legislature
Salem (U.P.) 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.

New State Included in Measures
Pondered by State Legislatures
By UNITED PRESS
Bills under consideration in
state legislatures today would
carve a new "State of Koosevelt"
out of New York state, outlaw
pay toilets in California and
protect a South American roaent
called the "copyu" in South
Carolina.'
A survey by United Press
showed today that the people's
representatives in legislatures
throughout the country are still
in posssession of a precious re
source imagination. .
Garbage Bill Defeated
In Indiana the Senate last
week defeated a measure which
would have permitted cities to
quick freeze their garbage. The
idea was to sell the stuff later
to farmers as hog feed.
Democratic State Sen. Fred G.
Morritt of New York City wants
the Empire state's legislature to
pass a bill calling on Congress
to create a new "State of Roose
velt," consisting of New York
City and 14 surrounding coun
ties. Tipping in any form would
become illegal under a proposed
Arizona bilL
Toy Guns Discussed
Illinois State Rep. Carl H.
Preihs has introduce a bill re
quiring that all toy guns be
painted "intense red, yellow or
orange." Juvenile gun makers
also would have to plug the bar
rels of their popguns so that real
honest -."to - goodness criminals
couldn't use them in real honest-to-goodness
stickups. '
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. Nine
copyu have been released In the
state in hopes they will multiply,
feed off vegetation and keep
ponds and streams free of con
gestion. - . . .
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.
One lawmaker laughingly ob
jected to the bill on grounds
that the type of gull found in
Utah is known scientifically as

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. It was
signed by the late John Wysocki
and read, "In the event of my
death, I want my car to go to my
son, Joseph."
the "California" seagull.
California Assemblyman
Charles W. 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.
A bill before the Texas House
would require all grapefruit to
be "branded" with the place of
its origin. Rep. Gustin Garrett
claims some fruit is being sold
falsely as the genuine Texas ar
ticle. , A Missouri bill would limit
state aid to dependent children
to just one illegitimate child per
mother. ;

HOTTEST BUICK IN HISTORY
No wonder you see to many 1955 Buicks on the
highways they're rolling up bigger sales than
ver before in history topping the popularity that
has already made Buick one of the "Big Three."

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.
