Program To Attract
More Tourist Trade
Planned By Chambers
Possibilities of an increased
advertising program to attract
more tourists to Southern Ore
gon were discussed by represen
tatives of five Chambers of Com
merce recently.
The group pointed out that
O Southern Oregon Chambers bud
getibout S95.500 annually to-
waftr the overall development
of the economic base of the area
Of the totel budgeted, about
$20,000 wjas spent to attract
tourist trade.
Wayside Industries
About 5 per cent of the total
support of ClJ&mber budgets was
by wayside industries such as
hotels, motels, restaurants and
sprvice stations, the group said
The wayside industries, the
group noted, provided about 23
per cent of the 320,000 spent by
wage earners ,

REST PERIOD REGULATIONS
& This is the way particular
regulations on working condi
tions of women are made un
der Oregon's Wage and Hour
Law. Employer and employee
representatives of an industry
meet with public representa
tives to form recommenda
tions on standards of employ
ment for women in that in
dustry. These recommenda
tions are given to the Wage
and Hour Commission for ap
proval. Any disapproved may
be taken up again in the same
or a new conference.
Q. I am a saleslady in a store.
Isn't there a rule setting relief
time after two hours' work?
A. Yours is a yes and no ques
tion. Rest periods for women em
ployees in retail stores must be
given on the basis of 10 minutes
for four hours working time or
major fraction thereof. When
ever feasible, the rest break
should be in the middle of the
work period, but that is not an
absolute rule. If less than 2
hours of a day's work conies in
the morning, the rest period' may
go into a 20-minute afternoon
break-. O
O. We are women workers in
a factory. Shouldn't we get time
and a half on holidays?
A. Yes, if you are regularly
employed. This applies to the
Jiolidays of New Year's, Memo
rial TJay, Independence Day, La
bor Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas. This does not hold for
all occupations since regula&ons
vary with industries.

Southern Oregon Chambers on
tourist promotion.
The group discussed two plans
for tourist promotion in 1956.
One plan would continue the
Southern Oregon Hospitality Un
limited program on the limited
basis of S900 for advertising. The
cost is shared by the five Cham
bers. The program allows one
ad in Westways magazine, two
in the Los Angeles Examiner and
one in the Los Angeles Times.
Coupons for Literature
The ads would carry coupons
through which vacation litera
ture of the area is distributed
upon request. Ads would be
placed in March and April to
allow prospective visitors time
to make injuries in connection
with vacation plans.
The group noted that during
the past two years, some 800 in
quiries have been made with
coupons from California news
papers. Literature and folders
from each of the five Chambers
was sent to each inquirer.
The other plan proposed is an
expanded program depending
upon increased support of Cham
bers by wayside industries in
Southern Oregon. The plan
would be an expanded advertis
ing program, and would cost
about S4.500. It would include
three ads in Sunset magazine,
two in Westways magazine, and
five in Sunday editions of the
Las Angeles Times and Exam
iner. The ads would include re
ply coupons.
Radio Spots Planned
Also planned are radio spots
in Portland, Seattle, and Spo
kane. Ad placement and radio
time would be in proportion to
the amount shared in the plan by
each Chamber involved.
Either plan is subject to ac
ceptance and budgeting restrict
ions of the boards of directors of
various Chambers.
The group pointed out that
both plans offer a wide latitude
for suggested changes and im
provements by tourist commit
tees, and are based on exper
iences of cooperative programs
and advertising results in the
past two years. They noted that
the Los Angeles area represents
a ready market for Southern
Oregon vacation advertising, but
pointed out that the second
plan, because of limited funds,
could not ( be successful unless
adopted by all Chambers.
Chambers represented includ
ed Jackson County, Klamath
Falls, Grants Pass, Ashland and
Cave Junction.
No Action Planned
In Tenneson Case
Washington (U.R) The Army
said today it does not plan to
take any action against Richard
Tenneson, turncoat Korean war
prisoner who has just returned
to the United States.
If any charges are placed
against Tenneson, experts said,
it will be by the Justice Depart
ment in a civilian court, not by
the military.
On the basis of a recent Su
preme Court decision, the Army
feels it is powerless to bring
court martial charges against
Tenneson as an Army spokesman
put it:
"The Army feels it has no jur
isdiction in this matter."
The Army's position is based
on a recent Supreme Court de-
cision declaring unconstitutional
a provision in the uniform code
of military justice giving the
military authority to try dis
charged service men for crimes
committed while in uniform.
All of the 21 turncoat prison
ers were given dishonorable dis
charges on orders of Defense Sec
retary Charles E. Wilson when
they chose to go to Communist
China after the Korean truce.
When the first three turncoats
returned to the United States,
they were immediately arrested
by the Army and held for court
martial. A U. S. District Court
subsequently ordered them re
leased by the military on the
basis of the Supreme Court de
cision. Nixon Presides af
Meeting of Cabinet
Washington (U.R) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon pre
sided over a regular weekly Cab
inet meeting at the White House
today.
He presided over the three
hour session in place of Presi
dent Eisenhower who is in
Gettysburg, Pa. Other absentees
were Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, Defense Secretary
harles E. Wilson and Secretary
of Treasurer George M. Hum
phrey, who are attending a meet
ing in Paris; and Secretary of
Interior Douglas McKay, who is
out of town.

Personnel Changes
At Camp White Are
Announced Today
Two personnel changes on the
staff of the Camp White Vet
erans Administration domicil
iary were announced by Man
ager E. K. Ricker today.
Harold Jaffrey has been ap
pointed assistant manager. Date
of his assuming his duties has
not been announced.
Jaffrey is now a supervisory
housekeeping specialist at the
VA central office, Washington,
D.C. A native of New York, he
attended schools in New York
and Texas, and is an Army vet
eran. He served in the medical
administrative corps during
World War II, attaining the rank
of captain. '
He succeeds R. H. Denning,
who leaves as assistant manager
here, in January to go to Iowa
City, la., as assistant manager of
the VA hospital there.
Doctor Leaving
Dr. C. K. Todd, chief medical
officer of the domiciliary, is be
ing transferred to the VA hos
pital at Knoxville, la., Ricker
said. His replacement has not
yet been announced.
Mrs. Todd will accompany
him. The couple will leave by
automobile after Christmas and
will report for duty after Jan.
1, 1956.
Ricker stated that Dr. Todd
has done outstanding work dur
ing his two-year tour of duty
at Camp White. He has been
active in developing the physi
cal therapy program at the domi
ciliary, and in the development
of the Alcoholics Anonymous
program there.
Thornton Rules on
School Area Changes
Salem (U.R) A district
boundary board cannot legally
change the boundaries of school
districts where the "sole pur
pose of such change is to take
from one district and grant to
another a substantial amount of
assessed valuation for tax pur
poses. Attorney General Robert
Y. Thornton said today.
His ruling was in response to
a query from the district attor
ney of Douglas county. Thorn
ton said such action by a dis
trict boundary board would be
an arbitrary and unreasonable
exercise of its powers.
However, he pointed out that
it is not "a wrong in itself to
take taxable wealth into consid
eration" in determining whether
or not school district boundaries
shall be changed, and each case
must be decided upon its own
merits.

the North Pole, stands by
Liberace's piano-shaped swim
ming pool.
Third Tree on Lawn
Another white tree in the Lib
erace living room is decorated
with conventional ornaments,
and a third tree on the lawn is
brightly lit.
Richard Boone, star of TVs
"Medic," is a close runner-up in
the unusual-tree division. He
draped his with bandages, balls
of cotton, scissors and stetho
scopes to match the doctor char
acter he plays on the show.
For years Lou Costello's dec
orations outside his Sherman
Oaks home were the world's
most elaborate. Lou sold his
home this year. But tourists
wrote they were driving to Cali
fornia to inspect the display, so
he put most of it up at the home
of his sister, Myra Kirk, a block
away. His display includes a
huge Santa climbing down a
chimney that spouts bubbles.
Danny Thomas' home in Bever
ly Hills is another favorite of
the crowds who drive around to
look at the decorated homes
these nights. On his lawn is a
Nativity scene featuring 11 two-foot-tall
ceramic figures of Bib
lical characters imported from
Palestine. Christmas carols are
heard from a loudspeaker.
Santa on Jones' Roof
Spike Jones installed a Santa,
sleigh and reindeer on his roof.
Singer Frankie L ai n e hung
twinkling trees on a tree on his
front lawn and outlined the
house in colored lights.
Many movietowners pick
Christmas scenery to match the
land of sunglasses and swim
ming pools. Richard Conte used
a huge piece of beach driftwood
for hij tree. Jean Simmons and
Stewart Granger had old-fashioned
green trees in England.
But this year they put their
ornaments on a big cactus out
side the Palms Springs desert
home where they are spending
the holidays. Jean Hagen and
the Robert Taylors are among
stars who hung Mexican Christ
mas pinatas huge crepe paper
animals and birds from the
ceiling..
Loretta Young's white tree
features antique German orna
ments she had collected since
she was a child. But starlet
Kathleen Hughes claims she has
the most unusual yuletide decor
in town an old-fashioned green
tree to match her old-fashioned
black telephone.

Senator Replies
To Charges Made
By Bend Attorney
Portland U.R) Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger yesterday appear
ed at a U. S. Forest Service
timber hearing to defend himself
against a "personal attack."
The hearing was to discuss
the proposed sale of 75,000,000
board feet of timber in the Ump-
qua National Forest, near Windi
go Pass.
Sen. Neuberger, replying to
charges of "politics" 'made by
Bend Attorney Alva' Goodrich,
said that in official matters re
lating to business, he never con
sidered whether a person involv
ed had supported him during
election campaigns.
Letter Quoted
Goodrich earlier in the hear
ing had testified that Sidney
Leikens, one of the owners of
the L and H Lumber Company
of Sutherlin which seeks to buy
the timber, had contributed
$1000 to Neuberger's election
campaign.
Goodrich criticized Neuberger
for supporting in a letter to
Chief Forester Richard McArdle
the sale of the timber." Neuberg
er quoted from the letter in
which he said he "would not
take sides in any controversy
which involves the interests of
two communities in my state,
concerning the disposition and
use of a public resource."
He said his major interest was
"in seeing to it that Oregon had
maximum possible employment
from its timber without doing
damage to sound conservation
or to watershed and protection."
Would Be Competitive
Leonard Netzorg, L and H at
torney, said the proposed sale
would be based on competitive
bidding, and there was nothing
to assure his company of being
the successful bidder.
Netzorg said the company's
interest in the Crescent . Lake
timber was interpreted as an
attempt to invade the ponderosa
pine area of Bend s lumber in
dustry. He said that was not the
company s intention.
Earlier witnesses testifying
before hearing officer C. Carlile
Carlson included Marion Cady,
manager of the Bend chamber of
commerce. Cady said there was
no need for creation of a new
mill to handle timber included
in the proposed sale.
Existing Mills Need Timber
Cady insisted that existing
mills in eastern Oregon could
process the timber cut. He said
Bend mills, as well as those at
Sutherlin, were dependent upon
forest service timber, and could
use all they could get.
Judge Robert W. Sawyer of
Bend submitted a statement
viewing the sale as a threat to
recreation areas of the upper
Cascade slopes. He urged a post
ponement until more study can
be made of effects.
The hearing was held to re
view an appeal by the Bend
Chamber of Commerce and other
groups of a decision by McArdle
authorizing the sale.
Wilsonville Site
Favored for Hospital
Salpm (u.R) The Salem
Chamber of Commerce was on
record today in favor of the
Wilsonville site for the new $15,
000,000 Portland area mental
hospital.
Wilsonville is one of two sites
under consideration for the pro
Dosed hospital. The other is in
the Hillsboro area. The state
Board of Control is expected to
make the choice before the end
of this month.
Elton Thompson, president of
the Salem chamber, pointed out
in a letter to Gov. Paul Patter
son that the Wilsonville site has
fine access from both Portland
and Salem by way of the new
Portland-Salem freeway.
Warmer Air Moves
Over Part of Oregon
Portland IU.R) Warmer air
moved in over Oregon today but
residents of some sections of
Portland awoke today to find
trees, streets and windshields
still coated with glare ice.
The weather bureau predicted
a slow moderatipn of tempera
tures and the east wind that
froze and pummeled the city
for more than three days, had
nearly stopped by early today.
But morning traffic in Port
land and other areas was slowed
by icy conditions.
Tillamook Man Heads
Extension Agent Group
Corvallis U.R) Howard
Smith of Tillamook today was
new president of the Oregon
county extension agents associa
tion. Other officers elected here
yesterday included Gene Lear,
Redmond, vice - president; Joe
Myers, Albany, secretary-treasurer;
and Kenneth C. Minnick,
Corvallis, assistant secretary. .
Corvallis Voters
Approve New School
Corvallis (U.R) Voters yes
terday gave two to one approval
to bond issues totaling $1,695,-
000 for a junior high school, a
new water treatment plant and
expansion of the sewer svstem.
Also approved was an $18,000
annual tax levy for parks and
recreation.
Less than 1400 voters out of
about 8500 eligible turned out.
The vote gives the green light
to a million dollar junior high
school building and a $235,000
water treatment plant for the
Mary's peak gravity system.
Lineman Seriously Hurt
By
60,000 Volt Shock
Umatilla '(U.R) A nower
company lineman who received
a- 60,000-volt jolt yesterday had

but was still in serious condi
tion, according to hospital au
thorities here.
Paul D. Hendricks. S3. Her-
miston, was critically burned
