or more per day. Crude supplies come from Canada via a new
740-mile pipeline, and from tankers-. Shown above during their
trip, with the refinery in the background, are (front, left to

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. ,

In the Senate Education Com
mittee headed by Sen. John C.
F. Merrifield (R-Portland), for
instance, there was a two-hour
discussion. But there was no ac
tion to bring out or bury the
bills before them. The really
big ones, dealing with basic
school support are yet to get the
treatment, one way or another.
The Senate Highway Commit
tee headed by Sen. 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.
On the House side, Geary said,
most of the committees, are on a
current basis, which means they
have cleared their desks of all
the bills except those just recent
ly put before them.
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

four, referred one on meat in
specion to ways and means, and

Number of Disease
Cases Last Yeek
Highest in Year
The weekly report of the Jack
son county health department on
communicable diseases issued
today showed that the total
number of cases last week was
101, the highest number reported
in more than a year.
Two of the cases were of tu
berculosis. One of them was re
vealed by the newly instituted
chest x-ray program sponsored
at both Medford hospitals by the
Jackson County Public Health
department. This case was in
Medford and the other was in
Ashland. Both patients are now
receiving care. An estimated 100
other undetected cases of TB are
believed to exist in the county.
Chickenpox Leads
Leading the list in the num
ber of cases was chickenpox,
with 32 cases. More than two
thirds of the cases were in Med
ford, with the others scattered
in Ashland, Talent and Phoenix.
. Second was measles, with 23.
Thirteen were in Ashland, with
smaller numbers in Medford,
Talent, Tiller and Rogue River.
There were ten cases of strep
throat scattered in various valley
communities, nine of pneumonia,'
six of german ' measles, five of
influenza, four of scarlet fever,
three of mumps, and two cases
each of infectious ' hepatitis,
amoebic dysentery and tubercu
losis, and single cases of typhoid
fever (a delayed report of a mild
case in Medford), trench mouth
and rheumatic fever.
U. S. Will Reject
Demands by Russia
Washington (U.R) The Unit
ed States will politely but firm
ly reject a renewed Soviet de
mand for the return of Valerv
Lysikov, a Russian teen-ager
who obtained political asylum
in West Berlin last month, in
formed sources said today.
The State Department said it
was studying the Soviet demand.
But officials said unless the Rus
sians presented some new evi
dence their demand would be
turned down. A quick reading
showed no new evidence.
Lysikov, 17, crossed into West
Berlin March 18. He said he was
fed up with life in the Com
munist world and wanted politi
cal asylum. His request was
granted.
'FIRST ROBIN' FAKE

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."
'Mike' Elliott Given
90-Day Jail Sentence
Los Angeles (U.R) A former
Portland, Ore., sheriff was given
a 90-day county jail sentence
and his wife was fined S500 yes
terday when they appeared for

said he wanted to "bring the
name of Elliott before the pub
lic," was given a one-year sus
pended sentence and ordered to
spend 90 days in county jail as a
condidtion of three years proba
tion. Elliott's wife, Francis, 35, was
given a 180-day suspended sen
tence, fined $500 and also was
placed on three years probation.

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."

X ffM
cup of f
at
available vote for passage of a !
bill that would require voters
to sign a poll book before they
cast their ballots. '
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.
