Chamber Direclors Reaffirm Support Oi Senate Bills o The bears' of director! of the Jacksoa County Chamber of Commerce yesterday reaffirmed its fupport of Senate bills 274 and 275, but gave their approval to proposed amendments which would have them apply only to regulation of railroad passenger service. The two bills, introduced by members of the Jackson county delegation in the state legisla ture, as written would give the state public utilities commission er wider authority over rates and schedules of all railroad op erations, both freight and pas senger. The amendments would make them apply only to pas senger service. The amendments are to be proposed by the bills' chief spon sor, State Sen. Philip B. Lowry, to satisfy fruit and lumber ship pers, who have told the senate committee they feel there is no need to regulate rail freight service. The chamber board also in' eluded in its motion a stipula tion that perishables and freight of a seasonal nature be exempt ed from such regulation, and that perishables be exempted from any type of railroad regu latory legislation. Board members pointed out that the matter originally came up after the Southern Pacific abandoned passenger service south of Eugene, and that the chamber's original intent was for the regulation of passenger service. The group also voted opposi tion to a measure which would increase sharply employer con tributions for unemployment compensation, on the basis that it would be another deterrent to new industry locating in the state. Board members will he polled soon on their preference as to meeting times, whether for breakfast or luaca. 52nd Year ' MatcaT Circus Due Wptaday Evening Central Point The Alexand ers Manral Circus will present a shf pcBarsd by the Central Point fm ot the American Le git at p.m. Monday, April 1, in im Control Point Junior High stated uifitariyni.

This one is Jimmy Dean, coun try singer, accordionist, guitarist and player of piano. Jimmy ('That's my name, not James") will take over CBS-TV's early show on April 8 when Will Rog ers Jr. bows out. Dean, an entertainer on the country music circuit for nine years, will face some stiff com petition from NBC-TV in his time spot Dave Garroway, NBC-TV early bird, has been bowling over a steady succession of CBS-TV entries in the a.m. slot. "We're going to give 'em something totally different from the Garroway show," explained Dean today. "We're going to give 'em country music, which is smilin' music. "It's going to be music to shave by. You know, Lawrence Welk has done pretty well with his champagne music, so we fig ure we should do pretty good with coffee music." Dean, 29, a native of Plain view, Tex., currently pilots a half - hour Monday-through-Friday TV show in Washington plus a three-hour live TV show on Saturday nights from Capital Arena in that city. As a record ing artist in the country field, he has hit with such platters as "Bummin' Around" and" Freight Train Blues." Haunted Briefly He was haunted briefly by the ghost of the late James Dean when that actor died in an auto Crash, but that's all over now, "When Dean was killed, I got a flood of letters from my Wash intgon fans," said the country You know, up until three years ago, I had never even heard of James Dean. Occasion ally, some columnist will criti cize me for using his name, but it's my own and I've been using it in the business for a long, long time. "Just the other day some New York columnist blasted mc. What's his name Hiram Gard ner? But we got it all straight ened out." Here to Slay Dean is convinced that coun try music, like the country, is here to stay. "It's not only here to stay," he said, "it's going to get bigger and bigger. The rea son is the people who play it enjoy what they're doing they're moving, they're tapping their feet, they're smilin'. And they make you feel the same way. "And look at all the hits that have come out of the country Court Martial Ordered For Marine Officer Parris Island, S C. U.R) The Marine Corps Thursday ordered a general court-martial for an of ficer accused of assaulting a pri vate who was a key witness in another recent trial at this re cruit training base. Maj. Ralph Wood, public in formation officer here, said "charges against 1st Lt. William O. Conroy, Queens, N.Y., have been referred to a general court martial for trial." Pendleton U.P.) The Uma tilla county court' has informed the Port of Umatilla that it does not intend to share the cost of constructing a proposed boat marina at the port. field 'Young Love,' Tennessee Cold Heart.' It's getting hard to tell the difference between coun try and pop music." Dean has no qualms about his early morning TV assignment. He even looks forward to rising at four in the morning. "I tell you, lately I've been doing personal appearances sometimes 125 miles from Wash ington," he said. "So I haven't been getting to bed until four in the morning. I figure it's bet ter to be getting up than getting in at that time." Salary Funds Used Only for Salaries, ChancellorDeclares Eugene Dr John R. Richards, chancellor of the state system of higher education, this week said funds appropriated for salary payments in Oregon's colleges and universities have nott been used for other purposes. His statement followed press reports which, he said, gave the erroneuous impression .that sal ary funds in some instances have been diverted to other uses. The story quoted certain members of the legislature during a hearing on the higher education budget for the coming biennium.. In a letter addressed to mem bers of the committee and other legislators, the chancellor said. ; "It is most important for you and all others concerned to know that all funds provided, or to be provided, for salary adjustments have been used in the past and will be used in the future, ex clusively for salary increases." Amendment Sought For Constitution Washington (U.PJ The ad ministration is expected to ask Congress soon for a constitu tional amendment permitting a president to hand over his pow ers "temporarily" to the vice president upon being disabled. Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. is expected to outline the White House position on the question when he goes before the House Judiciary committee on Monday. The Justice department has been studying the problem of succession in case of presidential disability for more than a year. Brownell is reported by inform ed sources to have recommended a constitutional amendment which would: Permit a president to de clare his own disability. Permit the vice president to take over temporarily the duties and powers of the presidency while the chief executive is disabled. Constitutional amen dments must be passed by two-thirds majorty in both Houses of Con gress and ratified by three fourths of the state legislatures to become effective. According to government es timates there are more than 50, 000 lumber mills in the United States currently engaged in reg ular production. PAINT PROMPTS PROTESTS Santa Barbara, Calif.
