SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuetday, March 15, 1955 Aid To Counties in Collecting Child Support From Fathers Considered Interim Committee Legislation Eyed By Subcommittee Salem US') The ways and means subcommittee on welfare hopes to set up an interim com mittee to help counties collect child support from fathers able to pay. Sen. George Ulett (R-Coquille) told a meeting of county judg es and commissioners and wel fare administrators here yester day that the subcommittee plans to introduce legislation to set up the interim committee staff ed with an administrator and assistant. Near Unanimous Approval A show of hands gave nearly unanimous approval of such a program. But there was a dif ference of opinion that savings from such a program would en able counties to bring their new budgets down to the level of their budgets for the current bi ennium. Sen. Ulett said he believes most people underestimate sav ings from this source. Mrs. Loa Howard Mason, head of the State Public Welfare commis sion said savings would be many times the cost. Present Program Favored Sen. Ulett's group had sent a list of questions to the county representatives including a query as to whether they want ed general assistance mainten ance care and general assistance medical care returned to the exclusive jurisdiction of the counties. Most of the county judges and commissioners said they'd like to keep the present pro gram. A momentary flare - up came when Sen. Ulett suggested to Nat McDougall Jr., chairman of the Multnomah County Wel fare commission that he did not see why Multnomah county couldn't have appraised its wel fare situation some time ago and "go after it like the others did and not get yourself in a mess." Multnomah county in re cent months has made consid erable cuts in general assistance. Implication Opposed Ulett said: "It is definitely up to you to appraise your situation. You are not doing the right thing by your people to pay the full am ount and then make drastic cuts." ! McDougall said he "opposes : the implication that we did noth ing." Mike Gleason, Multnomah county commissioner, said the problem was placed before the State Welfare commission many months before action was tak- en.

OPPOSES MARGARET RO MANCL Dr. Alfred Blunt above), Bishop of Bradbury, said that "only solution" to to any romance between Princess Margaret and Capt. Peter Townsend would be to "call it off." Press Makes Appeal To Princess To End Suspense Over Romance -London (U.R) A London newspaper scolded group Capt. Peter Townsend today for his Brussels statements and appeal ed indirectly to Princess Marg aret to end the suspense over their reported romance sni possible marriage. Almost every newspaper car ried Townsend's statement of Monday that he has no reason to believe that Princess Margar et has decided to marry him. The story was carried in papers which heretofore have ignored the rumors. Only the Times refused to break its silence oh the reported romance between the Princess and the 40- year- old divorced commoner which has filled the press of the world with specu lation for a week. The Daily Mail, mentioning the romance for the first time, did so with a front page editor ial appealing indirectly to the royal family and Princess Mar garet to say what was going on. "Group Captain Townsend is a man of 40," the Daily Mail said. "He cannot be innocent of the ways of the world or the use which could be made of any ambiguous statements he made about Princess Margaret . . . "We can at least hope that the group captain has spoken his last word in his hurried, un considered interviews and that if there is anything more to be said the royal family may be allowed to say it." The Townsend reference to marriage came in a statement he first gave to reporters out side his apartment Monday and which was issued later through the British embassy where he has served as air attache since word of the romance leaked to the press two years ago. Townsend, referring to a state ment which said he would be ready to go into exile if a cer tain lady should demand it, said: "This statement implies that Princess Margaret has decided to marry me. The Princess had made no such decision known to me nor have I any reason to believe she has made such a decision."

Meat Inspection Bill Public Hearing Set A public hearing on the pro posed meat inspection bill now before the Oregon legislature, House Bill 99, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Room 309 of the Capitol, it was re ported here today. A number of local people, in cluding meat packers and others, including the Medford League of Women Voters, have express ed interest in the bill. The measure is now in the Ways and Means committee for study of its financial aspects. The hearing will be held by a sub-committee of the full com mittee. Considerable statewide interest in the bill has been ex pressed. It would provide for compulsory inspection of all meat, which is not now provided for in state law. One objection to the bill which has threatened its passage is the cost of some $400,000 annually from general fund appropriations.
