Clearing on Junior College Measure Slated ifor Capital Building April 22 Salem U.P.) A hearing on a measure designed to encourage the establishment of junior col leges will be held here a week frcra today, April 22. at 1 p.m. in room 309 In the state capitol. The measure was sent to the Senate-Education committee yes terday after a stormy session in which Sen. Gene Brown (R. Grants Pass) said that such re ferral would mean "in indecent burial of the bill." The measure, designed to en courage the establishment of junior college and thus ease the load on four-year institutions of higher learning, has been ap proved by the Ways and Means committee. Sen. Brown said it should go directly to the floor lor final action the same as any other appropriation bill. Moy for Action. Fails He moved to put the bill up for final floor action Saturday tomorrow but the motion lost and Senate President Elmo E. Smith (R.-John Day) referred the measure to the committee on education. The bill, introduced by Rep. r- Harvey De Armond (R.-Bend) would provide that the State Board of Higher Education pay $1000 to each school district which establishes a junior col lege and in addition, $100 for each average full-time student. Brown said the State Board of Higher Education had taken no position when the bill was in troduced, but after it had passed the House, dubbed it premature "and therefore unwise." He ex pressed belief that the board had failed to keep faith with the committee that considered the bill. But Sen. Howard Belton CR. Canby) co-chairman of the Ways and Means committee, said the bill was not a ways and means measure, and added that the senators had not had enough time to give it full consideration. Sen. Robert D. Holmes (D. Gearhart) said the act which au thorized establishment of junior colleges was passed with the un derstanding that each school dis trict establishing such an Insti tution would finance it in full. At present the only junior college in Oregon is at Bend, the Central Oregon college which furnishes two years of college education. EXPLOSIVE PROBLEM Franklin, Pa. (U.R) State police hoped to get "an explo sive" problem off their hands to day before it blows up in some body's face. Burglars broke into a magazine of the Ellis Hall and Son Torpedo Co. and carried off a 10-quart can of nitroglycerin. Vaccine Shipments Said Lagging HANG ON MIMI!

Main 0 COMPANY Phone 2-521 1 American Motors May Agree To CIO Guaranteed Wage Detroit (U.R) An American Mortors Corp. spokesman has indicated his firm may be willing to agree to CIO United Auto Workers guaranteed annual wage demands unless an alter nate solution to stabilize employ ment can be found. AMC industrial relations di rector Edward L. Cushman said his company felt providing work ers with steady employment was as important as making profits. Won't Be Satisfied "We will not be satisfied with our record stability," he said, "unless such a time as we are able to provide regular and con tinuous employment from the time they (the workers) are hired until they are retired." Cushman, a member of a citi zens' committee which worked with the union in 1953 to help plan the UAW's guaranteed an nual wage program, was the first to express management's view on the controversial wage issue since the union began its talks with auto companies. Seeking Agreement He said his company hopes to work out some arrangement witn the union to steady the firm's employment but did not say whether the arrangement would be a form of the GAW or an alternate porposal. Walter P. Reuther, CIO and UAW president, has said tha union would insist on some form of the GAW from every auto company but would consider counter-proposals which accept the principle of the annual wage. Cushman also said he opposed a "pattern settlement" negotiat ed with other auto companies. By UNITED PRESS Millions more children eligible today for immediate inoculations of Salk anti-polio vaccine under a decision to switch from a three shot to a two-shot program. But shipments of the cherry red vaccine to mass inoculation centers appeared to lag. Health officials were doubtful about how many children could receive protection before the polio "sea son" starts June 1. The federal government, act ing to meet the crisis under or ders from President Eisenhower, called an April 22 conference of Medical, health and drug offic ials. The experts will try to work out plans for fair, speedy dis tribution of the polio-killing vac cine. Some communities had plan ned to start the mass inoculation of first and second graders to day. But officials were already postponing the target date in some areas because they had re ceived no definite word on when pharmaceutical houses would ship the vaccine. ' The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis announced the switch from a three-shot to a two-shot program late Thurs day. Almost immediately state health officials fell into line and began preparing for a two-shot program. The change was recommended by Dr. Jonas E. Salk, the man who developed the history-making vaccine. He said it would be better to give two shots, followed by a "booster" about seven months later, rather than three evenly-spaced inoculations. Under the new two-shot sys tem, the foundation turned into commercial channels enough vac cine to inoculate 4,500,000 more children. It had already ordered enough vaccine to take care of 9,000,000 youngsters. Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, the foundation's medical director, had estimated there would be enough vaccine to inoculate 30, 000,000 Americans by June 1. Following Thursday's action, he called on vaccine producers to state how much they can produce by July 1. However, the major pharma ceutical houses producing the vaccine were keeping quiet about how many inoculations they can make possible before hot weather ushers in the polio season. The nation's states and major cities meanwhile waited pa tiently, at least for the time being, for the chance to start on the biggest mass assault on dis ease m medical history. Butler Sees Good Chance for Democrats Washington U.R) Demo cratic National Chairman Paul M; Butfer told his party leaders today they have a good chance of winning the White House in 1956 "regardless of who is head ing the Republican ticket." He said Democratic prospects are bright despite "the efforts of high priced Republican propa ganda experts to persuade the press and public that Mr. Eisen hower Is unbeatable." Democrats meeting for a na tional committee session to plan their 1956 campaign were en couraged by mid-term election victories in which they recap tured control of Congress and won important state governor ships.

Helser Witness Says Stock Values Top Investments San Francisco (U.R) A de fense witness has testified that the market value of stocks ac quired by J. Henry Helser & Co. for its clients was $2,300,000 higher than the net amount in vested. This testimony came yester day from Charles F. Zurlinden, chief statistician for the firm, and first defense witness in a hearing instituted by the Securi ties and Exchange Commission. Injunction Sought The SEC is asking Federal Judge Louis Goodman to issue an injunction against the firm on grounds it allegedly violated certain fraud provisions of the Securities act. Zurlinden introduced into the evidence an account performance record to show Helser's hold ings of Dec. 31, 1954.' It showed that on that date, Helser accounts had made invest ments aggregating $41,168,258. The accounts had a liquidating value of $43,489,780, the record showed. Few Carried on Margin Defense Attorney Robert E. Bruns also established in ques tioning Zurlinden that only 8.9 per cent of the securities in all accounts were carried on margin at the end of last year. On April 30, 1953, only 4.8 per cent of the securities were on margin, Zurlinden said. Moreover, the witness said, at no time in the years 1951 through 1954 did no equity in client's accounts go below 46 per cent, which is well above mini mum requirements for member firms of the New York Exchange. Parly Label Seen Only Political Difference Beverly Hills, Calif. (U.R) Gov. J. Bracken Lee of Utah says the only difference between Republicans and Democrats to day is their party label. Lee, a Republican, speaking to 150 members of the Beverly Hills Men's club last night said, "I opposed the New Deal philos ophy of trying to spend our selves rich. I condemned the Democrats for their program and see no reason why I should change my opinion because we are operating the same program under a different banner." Lee said unless one of the parties changes its political phi losophy a third party may be come inevitable. Friday, April 15, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Sen. Phil Lowry Lauds Dalles Newspaperman for Perseverance Salem (U.R) Sen. Phil Lowry ' (R-Medford) yesterday paid high tribute to Henry Kane of The Dalles Chronicle as an ex ample of how an individual citi zen, with perseverance, can get a needed law enacted. Kane came to the Legislature earlier in the session and wanted to know if a bill could not be drafted to enable a recount in every precinct where votes were cast for any candidate or meas ure. Convinced of Merit Sen. John P. Hounsell (R Hood River) said it could be. Sen. Warren Gill (R-Lebanon) became convinced of the merit of the idea and helped draft the bill to put it into effect. Then Sen. Hounsell introduced it. Yesterday the measure was approved by the Senate without a single dissenting vote. The measure, Senate bill 402, provides that a candidate or any officer of a political party may file a demand requiring the sec retary of state to direct that a recount be made in every prec inct in which votes wsre cast for the particular public office for which the candidate's name ap peared on the ballot at the pri mary or general election. A registered voter may, under the terms of the m asure, file a demand requiring the secretary of state to direct that a recount be made in every precinct in which votes were cast for any measure voted on at a general or special election. Shows What Can Be Done Sen. Lowry said: "This meas ure just goes to show what a single citizen can do through his Court Records DISTRICT COURT Paul L. Davis, failure to stop at stop sign, $10.
