House and Senate Committee Make Effort To Reach Suggested Date for Ad Salem (U.R) House and Senate committees attempted to day to get up a full head of steam to bury or bring out for floor action the measures still before them, in an effort to strike somewhere near the target date of April 16 to complete the 1955 legislative session. Very few if any believe the session actually can be com pleted by the target date only a week from nerft Saturday. But many expressed belief that Senate President Elmo E. Smith and House Speaker Ed ward A. Geary announced the target date yesterday as a sort of psychological goal to get the committees out of argument and into action. x If so, the psychological effect was not too heavily' in evidence at committee mettings held after the announcement. , SILK SCREEN Process Printing Signs, Show Cards, Posters, Book Covers, Banners, Pecals, Etc.

Warren Mc Minimee held a two and a half hour session late yesterday and passed out two bills, including one to permit volunteer firemen to have flashing orange lights but no red ones on their cars.

Many Near Finish The Military Affairs Commit tee has cleared its desk. The Commerce and Utilities Committee is down to five bills; elections and reapportionment down to four; alcoholic control, down to four; and fish and game down to five.

Christian Scientist Says Healing Lifted Into True Status Spiritual healing is today lift ed out of the realm of blind faith into its true status of nor mal, demonstrable, divine Science, Jules Cern, New York city told a large audience here last night. Appearances to the contrary, man is spiritual not physical and knowledge of this is heal ing the sick as well as the sin ner by prayer alone, Mr. Cern declared. On nationwide tour as a mem ber of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, Mr. Cern spoke under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Med ford, in the Medford high school auditorium. He spoke on Christian Science; "The Understanding and Prac tice. of God's Allness." Physicaliiy Ruled Out Worship of God as All as infinite Spirit rules out phys icality as actually real, Mr. Cern said. He held that there is noth ing novel or unreasonable about rejecting matter as a basis for healing. Commenting on the funda mental Christian Science teach ing that "Spirit is All instead of Matter," he -said: "This does not eliminate man and the uni verse; it illuminates man and the universe." -The Bible, he said, "supplies clear evidence that Christ Jesus, his disciples, the apostles, and the prophets before them, had healed others through spiritual means only . . . People , were healed where matter indicated that they would die. And people whom matter indicated were al ready dead were restored to life." He continued: "In his endeavor to awaken mankind, Jesus de clared, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make" you free.' Free of what? Free of the false thought that physicality is reality. He knew the Truth about Life not about disease. He knew the truth about har mony not about discord . . . He knew the truth about etern ality not about death."

S(Q)P Want (Poll LSooEt Sognaonires Salem (U.R) House Republi cans yesterday demanded a call of the House to round up every Patterson Will Oppose High Dam At Hells Canyon Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul Pat terson said today he would op pose the Hells Canyon bill auth orizing a high federal dam on the Snake river when he appears at a hearing in Portland tomor row. The governor said he thought two provisions of the bill would work to strip Oregon of its share of the high dam's production. First, he said, Idaho would be reserved 500,000 kilowatts, a major share of the dam's pro duction, and Oregon would be reserved power for only a small section of the state bordering the river in Baker and Malheur counties. The second reason Patterson gave was a provision of the bill calling for the remainder of the dam's power to be marketed through the Bonneville Power Administration with ' the result it would go to Washington state public power utilities. Gov. Patterson said he could see "very little benefit" to Ore gon power users from the ar rangement. The governor also objected to the tying in of Mountain Home project in the Hells Canyon bill which would divert some of the dam's power revenues to financ ing the reclamation project. "I don't believe power users of Ore gon and the Northwest should be called upon to subsidize this project in this manner," he said. Question Up To FPC As to the engineering side of the low dam-high dam contro versy, the governor said: "I will not concern myself with the en gineering problem of whether a high dam or three low dams will better serve the public interest." He said that question should be determined "by the best quali fied and most impartial agency the Federal Power Commission." 3 wifh vigorous Canterbury TEA For bright refreshment take Canterbury tea!

' The bill was fought by Demo crats who claimed it was the re sult of the last general election iu which Republicans lost ground and offices to Democrat candidates. 'Wrong People' Voted Rep. Alfred Corbett (D-Port-land), who led the Democrat at tack on the measure, said it was the product of a Republican elections committee "which came to the non-partisan and unbiased opinion that the wrong people had voted" in the last election. The bill would require voters to sign the poll books, certifying the accuracy of the address list ed after their names in the books. Willful misrepresentation would be punished as a crime of false swearing. Corbett said the bill would make it possible for voters to te trapped into a violation of the law. Republicans contended that it was simply a safeguard against fraud. Reps. Jean Lewis (D-Portland) and Robert Klemsen (D-St. Hel ens) said there had been no evi dence of fraud in past elections and that the GOP had failed to show the need for such legisla tion. Mrs. Lewis declared the re sult would be to slow the elec tion process and discourage the votes of working people who did not have time to stand in long lines waiting for people to sign their names in a book.
