NITE AND BALLOON PARKING per Person Holmes Proclaims 'Muster Days' for National Guard Governor Robert D. Holmes has proclaimed Feb. 22 to 24 as "National Guard Muster Days" and urged Oregon residents to assist National Guardsmen in en listing new members into the Guard. All Oregon National Guard units will participate in the sec ond annual nationwide recruit ing drive, according to Maj. Gen. Thomas E. Rilea, Oregon's adju tant general. Purpose of the campaign, Rilea said, is to fill National Guard ranks with eligible young men who are willing to take the six months active duty for train ing as proposed by the depart ment of defense starting April 1. Arrangements have been made with Sixth Army officials permitting Oregon Guardsmen to take the first eight weeks of basic training together in two "Oregon companies" of 150 men each who would report for training at Ford Ord, Calif., as an organization, he said. Rilea - said the first Oregon company is scheduled, to leave for Fort Ord in March for train in. A second Oregon company will leave shortly after school is out in June, he said. Rilea said incentives now available to men enlisting in the National Guard include: The six months training will not be mandatory for those who enlist prior to April 1; men up to 26-years-old are eligible for six months training and when train ing is complete may be deferred by selective service as long as they attend armory drill and summer camp; and automatic reduction in the total amount of ready reserve service re quired upon completion of six months active duty , training ranging from five to six years. Previously ready reserve re quirements totaled eight years. Last year's "Muster Days" netted the Oregon National Guard more than 1.034 new en listments, placing the state sec ond highest in the nation in total strength gains, according to Rilea.

Slock List Meets Support New York (UP) Stocks met support again today at the same levels where it developed in five periods of 1956. Before the rally from the lows, the list had been driven to new lows for the year with the rails at a new low for nearly two years. Prices came back in all sec tions. Some issues managed to rise above the previous close. Oils joined the recovery despite a government move to investi gate alleged antitrust violations by oil companies in raising prices.

A committee composed of Le Rue Morris, Bob Morton, Henry G. Schnack. Bruce J. Manley and W. L. Coombs was appoint ed to study House bill 319 and contact other mining organiza tions. Monthly Reports Under the proposed bill, pro ducers of oil, gas, sand, gravel, rock, agate, and all other min erals must file a monthly report which would include description of the property, the county in which the product was produced, the gross market of each pro duct, the kind and grade of each, the amount saved, to whom any product was sold and the sales price, the market value at the time and point of production, and names of producers and the pro portionate share of each, and any other information which "the commission shall deem necessary to determine the market value of any product produced, the amount of tax and the liability for the tax." The bill also provides that every producer file a return semi-annually showing gross yield and net proceeds from each product. Mining council members ex-, pressed the opinion that mineral development was dependent up on a favorable political climate, and that the bill as drawn will virtually eliminate mineral de velopment in Oregon.

Van denberg of Klamath county, who also serves as county Juvenile Court judge, yesterday went on record as opposing the practice. "The secrecy in which ju venile court hearings are held protects other children in the family who are innocent and encourages the juvenile offend er to overcome his past actions. Too many times the person who has been publicly labeled a ju venile delinquent feels com pelled to live up to the name," Judge Vandenberg said.
